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

County funding in the FY 22 budget for the School Operating Fund totals $53.9 million which is an increase of $2,050,000 from the FY 21 approved budget.

Total Funds for debt service do not change for FY 22; however, the County decreased its debt service capacity within the debt service fund by $800,491 and reallocated those funds to the School System to cover school debt service needs. This action increased the amount of funding dedicated to the Schools in the Debt Service Fund from the County transfer from the General Fund by $800,491 and decreased the County’s portion by $800,491.

Transfer to the School Capital Fund

2.5 cents of the real estate tax rate are earmarked for the School Capital Fund.

UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET

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

Preparation of the Annual Budget

Montgomery County’s annual budget begins with the development of the proposed budget, the budget recommended by the County Administrator, and ends with the approved budget, which has been reviewed, adjusted and approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board). The County’s annual budget process begins in the fall of each year, when divisions, departments and agencies submit budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year. In January and February, County staff develop the proposed budget. The proposed budget and budget document are presented to the Board in March of each year. During that time, the Board begins deliberations to adjust the budget and develop the County’s approved budget. During budget deliberations, the Board holds public hearings for citizen comments and conducts work sessions. Citizen comments assist the Board of Supervisors in making decisions regarding spending. After budget adjustments, the final approved budget is adopted in April and becomes effective July 1. The budget runs on a fiscal year basis and is effective July 1 through June 30. The County’s 2022 Budget Calendar is shown below (some changes may occur during the process):

The Budget in General

The County’s budget is the government’s estimated revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. It consists of operating and capital budgets for county programs and services. The budget also allocates funds for the operating and capital needs of the public school system and contributes to a number of outside agencies. The County’s budget consists of the following funds: • General Fund – which provides funding for the day-to-day operations of the County government. • Law Library Fund – which provides funding for the day-to-day operations of the law library. • School Operating Fund – which provides funding for the day-to-day operations of the School system. • School Nutrition Fund – which provides funding for the day-to-day operations of the School food program. • County and School Capital Funds – which provides an annual cash-to-capital allocation for new county and school capital needs. • Debt Service Funds – which provides funding to cover the County and School’s outstanding debt obligations. • EDA Incentive Fund – which provides funding for economic development initiatives.

The County’s Budget Process

In November of each year, County divisions are provided with budget targets for the upcoming fiscal year. The base budget target represents the base of personnel and operating costs anticipated for the upcoming year based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments made for personnel changes and mandates. One-time only funding from the prior year is excluded from the base budget. Along with the base budget target, County divisions are also provided the opportunity to request addenda items, which represent dollars over and above the base budget.

Base Budget Targets allow for the delineation between previously approved funding levels and requested increases.

Base Budget Targets are established as follows: • Personal Services - Includes all positions approved up to the issuance of the proposed budget 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

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 and covers the estimated costs in fringe benefits. • Operations and Maintenance - Caps funding at the level of the prior year approved budget, less adjustments for one-time only expenditure items.

• Capital Outlay - Most capital outlay is removed from the base budget target as typically it is a nonrecurring expense. Some divisions maintain a permanent capital outlay allocation as they utilize the funding on a yearly basis to replace equipment on an existing replacement plan. Examples include motor vehicle and computer replacements.

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: Office Furniture Other equipment

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

Total Budget

These adjustments are designed to clearly identify increases to operations and initiatives proposed by departments. The chart below illustrates the process.

Addenda Base Budget

Dollars requested for new or expanded services (initiatives)

All budget requests (base budget request and addenda) are due in December of each year and are evaluated for inclusion in the upcoming budget. When making budget requests, County divisions must address the following: • • • • • •

Is there sufficient workload to justify the request? Is there sufficient need to justify the request? Is the request related to a state or federal mandate? Are there legal requirements that will not be met if the request is not funded? Is the request linked to a specified outcome that is community or board driven? What tangible benefits can the County expect to experience as a result of funding the request?

All budget requests are evaluated based on available funding and the justification listed above.

How to Understand and Use This Document

With the goal of allowing decision-makers to focus on broader issues, the budget document consolidates similar functions. Efforts to streamline the process and reduce the volume of paper generated have changed the process in past years. The FY 2022 budget continues to consolidate information and array budget data in ways that 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 : 61

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 facilitate a broader understanding. This budget document includes both the County’s general government operating budget, the Montgomery County Public Schools’ operating and nutrition budgets, the law library budget, county and school capital budgets, the debt service budget, and the economic development incentive budget. The FY 2022 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 Understanding the Budget Revenue Summary Expenditure Plans

Included under the last section; Expenditure Plans, are the 34 major County Divisions or budget categories, which include Division expenditures, revenues earmarked for use by the specific Division, and County funding provided. Listed numerically according to a three-digit code, each of these sub-sections includes the Division’s Organizational Chart, Financial Data, Description of the Division as a whole, Base Budget Discussion, Addenda Discussion, which includes the County Administrator’s recommendation. Also included are each Department’s Description and Financial Data.

Department Description and Financial Data - Presents historical budget data by major category for each department. The following column headings are used:

• • • • • •

FY 20 FY 20 FY 21 FY 22 FY 22 FY 22

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 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 : 62

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 subtracted from the expenditures, identifying the amount of the County’s undesignated general fund revenue needed to support the division’s expenditures.

The Process and Approvals Required to Amend the Budget

After the budget is approved by the Board, the final approved budget is appropriated and becomes effective July 1. After July 1, the Board makes adjustments through additional appropriations. The budget is an estimate; therefore, as revenues and expenditure needs change, the appropriation may be adjusted. This can mean additional appropriations or reductions of appropriations. If the budget amendment exceeds 1% of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget, the Board will hold a public hearing to gather citizen input. These adjustments are approved at the Board level.

How the original budget and amendments are incorporated into the accounting system

Each month, the Board holds public meetings where appropriations are approved if necessary. After these approvals, the appropriations are entered into the County’s financial system. Expenditures can then be made by the division using the budget adjustment. The County’s accounting system separately keeps track of the County’s original and revised budget separately. The revised budget changes throughout the year as appropriations are adjusted.

Basis of Accounting and Basis of Budgeting

The County’s accounting system is organized and controlled on a fund basis. The basis of accounting refers to the accounting method the County utilizes to recognize revenues and expenses. There are three ways in which a governmental entity can recognize revenue and expenses: cash, accrual, modified accrual basis. Under the cash basis method, revenue is recognized when cash is received and expenses are recognized when paid. Under accrual basis, revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Modified accrual basis is a hybrid of cash basis and accrual basis. It recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred. The County operates on the cash basis of accounting for both budgetary and internal accounting purposes. This means that the County recognizes revenue when cash is received and expenses when bills are paid.

How budgetary compliance is monitored and enforced

Division directors are responsible for individual budgetary compliance. Departments are required to monitor and adjust their individual budgets and spending habits as needed throughout the year. They are required to stay within their approved expenditure authority. The County’s Budget Manager monitors budgetary compliance at the macro level to ensure compliance with the County’s financial policies. Budgetary control is set at the Division level. Division directors may move funds between individual line items, with the exception of salary line items, which require approval of the Finance Director. Appropriation control is set at the division level.

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.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA PROPOSED BUDGET

for fiscal year 2022

REVENUE SUMMARY

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.

Revenue Forecasting in the Middle of a Pandemic The sudden onset of the pandemic in March of 2020 created a host of issues for the economy and revenue forecasting. Even after a year of the pandemic, it is still unclear what the true economic impact of the pandemic will be in the coming months and years. 2020 was a year of ups and downs as national, state and local officials struggled to respond to the pandemic while trying to keep citizens safe and businesses open. In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, provided direct cash stimulus payments to individuals as well as economic assistance to workers, businesses and state and local governments in response to the pandemic. In December of 2020, a second pandemic relief package provided direct cash stimulus payments to individuals as well as economic assistance to workers and businesses. As of this revenue forecast, a third round of legislation is estimated to provide more relief in 2021. As the government responds to the pandemic, economists are struggling to predict the economic impact over the next year. How the economy responds to the pandemic will depend on a variety of variables such as the number and severity of COVID-19 cases, the roll out and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines, fiscal stimulus, and consumer and business confidence. Given all of this uncertainty, economists are still cautiously optimistic. The U.S. economy is still the largest and most sophisticated economy in the world and the U.S. economy is improving.

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

National Economic Outlook According to economists, despite the pandemic, the U.S. economic outlook is still fairly healthy. The U.S. economy contracted and fell into recession in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but stabilized and recovered as the year progressed. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the total market value of goods and services produced in the United States fell dramatically in the second quarter of 2020 and then recovered dramatically by the third and fourth quarters. Similar to GDP, unemployment rose dramatically and then fell as the businesses reopened and the economy improved. While the future is still uncertain, most of the data suggest cautious optimism for economic growth going into 2021. This growth will depend on how the government, businesses, and consumers respond to the pandemic and fiscal stimulus in the coming months. REVENUE SUMMARY : 71

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 4.0% in the fourth quarter of 2020. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 33.4 percent, as the economy recovered from the second quarter collapse due to the pandemic. Analysts expect the economy to grow by 3.8% to 4.5% for 2021 and 2% to 3.2% for 2022. 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 2020 was 8.1%, significantly up from 3.7% for 2019. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2020 was 6.7%, up from 3.6% in December 2019. Some economists estimate that the unemployment rate will drop between 5% and 5.7% in 2021 and be between 4.2% and 4.5% in 2022.

Inflation – Consumer Price Index (CPI) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of inflation. In 2020, the percentage change (inflation rate) for the CPI was 1.2%, down from 1.8% in 2019. The inflation rate estimated at 1.5% to 2.3% for 2021 and 1.6% to 2.5% for 2022. 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 one of the bright spots in the economy showing signs of continued growth for 2021. A low housing supply, low interest rates, and new construction not meeting the demand of buyers are all pushing up home prices. Millennials are continuing to drive the housing market, while older generations are staying in their homes longer. The housing market is expected to remain at strong levels in 2021 and is expected to help support and stabilize the economy. U.S. auto sales fell from nearly 17 million units in 2019 to 14.5 million units in 2020. For 2021, forecasters estimate that U.S. auto sales could be between 15.5 and 16 million units.

State Economic Outlook According to economists, Virginia’s economic outlook is consistent with national trends with the economy still showing signs of growth for 2021.

Virginia Unemployment According to the Virginia Employment Commission, the unemployment rate for the Commonwealth of Virginia for 2019 was 2.8%, down from 3% in 2018. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2020 was 4.7%, up from 2.4% in December 2019. Like the U.S., unemployment rates at the state rose dramatically in response to the pandemic and then dropped as businesses began to reopen. State economists expect personal income to grow at 3.7% for FY 2021 and 3.4% in FY 2022; employment is expected to fall 0.3% for FY 2021 and then grow at 1% for FY 2022.

State General Fund Revenues State General Fund revenues for FY 2020 rose by 2%. State General Fund revenue projections for FY 2021 and FY 2022 are expected to increase by 1% and 3.2%. Sales tax collections are estimated to grow at 2.7% in FY 2022 over the FY2021 reforecast.

Other State Funds REVENUE SUMMARY : 72

REVENUE SUMMARY 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 9.7% in FY 2022.

Local Economic Outlook Like the U.S. and State economic outlooks, Montgomery County’s economic outlook is viewed with cautious optimism. 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 2019 was 2.8%, down from 3% in 2018. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2020 was 3.4%, up from 2.5% in December 2019. Like the national and state trends, unemployment rates in Montgomery County rose dramatically in response to the pandemic and then dropped as businesses began to reopen.

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 22 is $211 Personal Prop 14%

REVENUE SUMMARY million with $89.6 million considered designated. Of this designated amount, $72.7 million or 81.2% is earmarked for schools. Undesignated Revenue dollars that may be used in the budget at the Board’s discretion total $121.4 million. Of this amount, $53.9 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.

Local Revenue Patterns and Growth for FY 22 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 62% 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 8% 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. FY 2020 was a dynamic year for County revenue, with record growth in almost all property tax revenues. In response to the pandemic, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution waiving penalty and interest on the June 5, 2020 real estate payment for 90 days to help residents and businesses cope with the pandemic. Even with this payment extension, the County exceeded the overall undesignated revenue estimate by $2.8 million. Areas of strong growth were found in real estate taxes, personal property motor vehicle taxes, business furniture and fixtures, machinery and tools, merchants capital, and public service corporation taxes. In FY 21, even with the pandemic, total undesignated revenue collections to date appear tracking close to budgeted estimates. Some revenue categories are estimated to be above the budget estimates, while other categories are estimated to below the budget estimates. Real estate taxes, recordation taxes (which are tied to real estate transactions) merchants capital and delinquent taxes are all estimated to exceed the budget estimates in FY 21. Taken together, these categories are providing a surplus of $2.5 million. Personal property taxes, sales taxes, and all other categories are estimated to fall short of budget estimates by approximately $0.6 million. In total, the County is estimating a surplus of $1.9 million over FY 21 budget estimates. Most of this surplus is one-time in nature. Of the $1.9 million surplus in FY 21, $1.4 million is from delinquent property taxes. In response to the pandemic, the Board of Supervisors waived penalty and interest on the June 5, 2020 real estate payment for 90 days. This action resulted in the surplus expected over the delinquent estimate. These funds will not recur in FY 22. Recordation taxes, which are tied to real estate transactions, while providing a $0.5 million surplus in FY 21, are expected to return to pre-2020 levels in FY 22. Also, due to changes in interest rates, the County expects to lose $0.8 million in interest earnings in FY 22. All other revenue categories are expected to lose $0.2 million due to the pandemic. Overall, the County is estimating a FY22 base revenue shortfall of approximately $1 million. For FY 22, the County projects an increase of approximately $2.2 million in new undesignated revenue growth. This increase is made up of $1.3 million in new real estate construction, $0.6 million in personal property motor vehicles and other personal property categories, $0.2 million in sales tax, and $0.1 in new cigarette taxes. Total undesignated revenues are estimated to provide $1.2 million in new money for FY 22. General Fund designated revenues are estimated to remain relatively flat. In response to the pandemic, the County deferred $5.4 million in designated school funds in FY 21; these funds were placed and held in the County’s General Fund. Once local conditions improved, the County’s released these funds to the Schools for expenditure. These funds have been removed from the County’s revenue structure for FY 22. Because of this action, it would appear that County designated revenues have dropped by $5.2 million. However, because of the transfer of these funds, total designated County revenue actually increased by $0.2 million. Total County General Fund revenue growth for FY 22 is expected to reach $1.4 million. REVENUE SUMMARY : 74

REVENUE SUMMARY Real Estate Revenue

Real estate values are based on the actual accessed value as of January 1, 2020 and estimated increases for new construction.

Personal Property

Personal property tax collections are based on the 2020 tax book, which is the most recent documentation of assessment values. From this data, the 2021 values are estimated. In addition, prior year collection rates are used as predictors of future year collections. The rate of collection in FY 20 and FY 21 is used to estimate the rate of collection in FY 22. The tax rate for personal property categories is $2.55 per $100 of assessed value. This category includes motor vehicles (the County’s second largest source of revenue), business furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. FY 22 estimated taxes on motor vehicles total $16.5 million; business furniture and fixtures total $3.7 million, and computer equipment total $0.4 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 $0.15 million for FY 22 for a total estimate of $16.5 million. REVENUE SUMMARY : 75

REVENUE SUMMARY Business furniture and fixtures personal property revenue is expected to grow by $0.15 million, while personal computer equipment revenue is expected to remain flat. In total, personal property revenue categories are expected to provide $0.3 million in growth.

REVENUE SUMMARY Sales and Use Taxes

Montgomery County’s third largest category of undesignated revenues is sales and use tax. Sales and use tax is a consumption tax paid for sales of certain goods and services. For fiscal year 2020, the County collected $10 million and expects to collect $9.9 million for FY 21. Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, the County is estimating $10.1 million for FY 22, which provides growth of $0.2 million over the new FY 21 estimate, but a shortfall of $0.2 million from the FY 21 approved budget estimate.

Other Categories of Undesignated Revenue

Historically, the County’s other undesignated revenues grow at a modest level annually. For FY 22, all other categories of undesignated revenue are expected to show a shortfall of $0.6 million, with most of that loss due to loss in interest income of $0.8 million. The County is expected to see an increase in merchants capital of $0.2 million with machinery and tools and public service corporation taxes staying relatively flat. All other categories of undesignated revenue in total are estimated remain relatively flat. 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 $3.2 million in collections for FY 21. The FY 22 estimate has been set at $3.2 million.

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 Governor’s budget includes an additional $1,063,988 in new funding for general school operational needs. The school system expects to lose $250,000 in recordation taxes due to state legislative changes. Total new state designated funding for the schools is estimated at $813,988. No additional state funding is expected to support County government functions.

County Tax Rates The proposed budget does not change tax rates from FY 21 to FY 22, including the proposed real estate rate of 89 cents. All tax rates are per $100 of assessed value. County Tax Rates

Fund Balance No General Fund balance dollars have been used to balance the FY 22 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).

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 REVENUE SUMMARY : 79

REVENUE SUMMARY 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 $24 million or 11.38% of the total FY 22 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.

See Revenue Summary, Appendix B for the specific policies.

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 County’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 : 97

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 Treasurer’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 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 that was contained 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. • Budget Function is Transferred to County Administration – For FY 22, the budget function is being transferred from the Finance Department to a new department within County Administration. $223,070 and 2 FTE are transferred from the Finance Department to a new Management and Budget department in County Administration. This structural change is made for better operational efficiency. • Deputy Emergency Services Coordinator Position (One FTE) Added to the Base Budget – In order to adequately address emergency services needs in the County, $65,367 and 1 FTE were added offcycle in FY 21. This position has become part of the base budget for FY 22 and adds one additional FTE to the Emergency Services Department. This position will assist the County’s Emergency Services Coordinator in hazard mitigation and the implementation of emergency response and coordination throughout the County. This position is supported with $15,000 in grant revenue. COUNTY ADMINISTRATION : 112

C O U N T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N • PIO Administrative Assistant Position (One FTE) Added to the Base Budget – As part of the FY 2021 approved budget, $58,417 was added for an Administrative Assistant to help the Public Information Office and for the front desk at the Government Center. This position was deferred and held in Special Contingencies for the FY 21 approved budget due to revenue concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As revenues stabilized in FY 21, the position was transferred from Special Contingencies to the Public Administration Office in the County Administration Division and has become part of the base budget for FY 22. • ($12,000) is Reduced From the Human Resources Revenue Base Budget – The Human Resources Department provides assistance to the New River Valley Emergency Communications Regional Authority. The Authority reimburses the County for these services. $12,000 in revenue collections has been reduced in the base budget for FY 22 based on actual collections in FY 20 and anticipated collections in FY 21 and FY 22. • ($285,359) is Reduced From the Wellness Base Budget – The County has a base budget of $285,359 to cover the cost of the County’s employee health clinic. Due to favorable experience ratings on health insurance costs within the County’s self-funded health insurance program, the County now has the reserve capacity to fund the costs of the health clinic out of the health insurance fund. This allows the County to reduce the cost incurred in the County’s wellness budget and transfer these costs to the health insurance fund for FY 22.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Recommended 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. • $60,952 is Added to Convert the Management Analyst Position to an Assistant County Administrator Position – As Montgomery County continues to grow and day-to-day responsibilities increase, the County needs additional administrative and executive capacity to help manage operations. This position will work in conjunction with the County Administrator and the Assistant County Administrator/CFO to help oversee the various operations of the County and address administrative and executive policy needs.

Base Budget Discussion

• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase that was contained 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. • Base Compensation Board Revenue Adjustments – A total of $13,001 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 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 increase 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.

About

The Commonwealth Attorney’s is an elected Constitutional Officer responsible for the prosecution of all felony and certain misdemeanor and traffic offenses within Montgomery County, including those occurring in the towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg and on the Virginia Tech campus. Court is held five times per week in District Court, three to four times per week in Circuit Court and two to three times per week in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.

Prosecution

This department is responsible for trying cases in Circuit Court, two General District Courts and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Through the Victim Witness Program, the office assists victims and witnesses involved in the prosecution of these cases. The office advises citizens, law enforcement agencies and magistrates regarding the interpretation of criminal law.

Collections

The Collections department is responsible for the collection of delinquent fines and costs from Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, General District Court(s) and the Circuit Court. This entails collection of reports from the Clerk’s Office, preparation and mailing of collection letters for all fines/costs not paid within 40 days, generating reports and accounting procedures.

Highlights • Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the 13 employees in the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office worked full-time to ensure justice remained available to victims of crime. Frequently changing court procedures, combined with increases in DUIs and domestic violence, have presented a challenge. • The Montgomery County Drug Court had five graduates in 2020, bringing the total number of graduates of the 18-month program to 12 since its inception in 2017. None of the graduates have had new charges and all remain employed. A recent Virginia Tech study indicates that the return on investment in this program is 4 to 1. • Implementation of a Behavioral Health docket in General District Court has been delayed due to the pandemic. The docket is designed to reduce recidivism among defendants with mental health diagnoses while reducing incarceration costs for the county. It is expected to begin in 2021.

Base Budget Discussion

CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged. • Base Compensation Board Revenue Adjustments – A total of $6,678 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 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 increase 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. • Deputy Court Clerk (One FTE) Added to the Base Budget – In order to adequately address the large number of jury trials scheduled resulting from court closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, $49,361 and 1 FTE were added offcycle in FY 21. This position has become part of the base budget for FY 22 and adds one additional FTE to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. This position is funded with designated Clerk of the Circuit Court fee revenues. This position is only funded on a temporary basis to address the current workload demands due to the large number of jury trials expected over the next two years and the position will be eliminated after jury trials are back to normal levels or the Clerk’s designated revenue source is exhausted, whichever comes first. This position would also be eliminated if the Compensation Board would fund a new position.

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. • Jail Medical Expenses and Base Position Changes – In the past, the County employed a part-time jail doctor and two deputies with emergency medical technician (EMT) certifications that provided inmate medical services. Due to liability and pay demand issues, the Sheriff’s Office has not been able to adequately fund the medical needs of the jail inmates. In FY 21, the Sheriff entered into a contract with a third-party vendor to provide jail medical expenses. The total cost of this contract for FY 22 is estimated at $280,000. To help fund these expenses, the Sheriff is eliminating two county funded deputy positions (2 FTE) and the jail doctor position. These positions provide $167,440 in total base savings and the elimination of 2 full-time positions. An additional $96,047 has been reduced from the Regional Jail budget due to lower inmate populations over the past several years. The remaining $16,513 has been funded as an addendum below.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

• $16,513 is Added for Jail Medical Expenses – Additional funding has been added to cover the cost of providing medical services to inmates.

An additional $96,047 has been reduced from the Regional Jail budget due to lower inmate populations over the past several years. These savings added to this addendum of $16,513 provides $280,000 in FY 22 to cover the contract cost.

Thompson and Mid-County Landfills

The Thompson and Mid-County Landfills were closed in 1993 and 1997, respectively. State and federal laws and regulations required the County to perform groundwater monitoring and mitigation, in 2013 the Department of Environmental Quality required an additional 10 years of monitoring landfills.

Highlights • In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, staff facilitated and implemented the necessary disease prevention measures to help keep both citizens visiting government buildings and employees working in those buildings safe. • While Broomin’ and Bloomin’ cleanup did not occur in the traditional form as in years past due the impacts from COVID-19, 12 dedicated volunteers did individually clean up smaller portions of Montgomery County, totaling 2.5 miles.

Base Budget Discussion

• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase that was contained 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. • Animal Control Officer Position (One FTE) Added to the Base Budget – As part of the FY 2021 approved budget, $58,417 was added for an Animal Control Officer to increase services and address workload issues in the County. This position was deferred and held in Special Contingencies for the FY 21 approved budget due to revenue concerns related to the Covid-19 pandemic. As revenues stabilized in FY 21, the position was transferred from Special Contingencies to the General Services Division and has become part of the base budget for FY 22.

• $150,000 is Added for the Increased Cost of Tipping Fees at the Solid Waste Authority – In FY 21, GENERAL SERVICES : 199

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 FY20, CSA served 74 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 • Increased efficiency for all Benefits Program Specialists through the purchase of scanners. • Hired two additional Child Protective Service Workers to meet 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.

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 level funding – The NRVDH’s request for FY 22 is $184,430, which is a decrease of $71,512 from the FY 21 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 three-year period. Under the revised formula, Montgomery County’s billed usage for the facility for FY 22 is $184,430 or 45.9% 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 $184,430 for operations based on a three-year average usage and is setting aside $71,512 in a special reserve to address future facility upgrades. By the end of FY 22, $908,787 will have accumulated in the reserve. Locality

Budget Discussion

Due to the COVID-19 virus and the uncertainty of the national, state, and local economies in the near term, the Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s FY 21 Budget by deferring $1,550,000 in County funding and $5,375,600 in state designated funding for the schools. This $6,925,600 in funding was held in the County General Fund. As revenues stabilized, these funds were moved during FY 21 and are now part of the base budget for FY 22 for Montgomery County Public Schools. As a result, it appears that the school budget increased dramatically and the County General Fund decreased dramatically. However, in reality, it was just a shift of resources of $6,925,600 between the funds. Below is a breakdown of funding as contained in the School Operating Budget: • $122,393,401 is Provided for the School Operating Fund – $122,393,401 in total funding is provided for the School Operating Fund. This represents an increase of $8,239,588 over the FY 21 approved budget. Taking into consideration the $6,925,600 that was shifted between funds and discussed above, the net total increase in funding for FY 22 is $1,313,988. Of this amount, $813,988 is from new state designated resources and $500,000 is from new County dollars. • $4,633,474 is Provided for the School Nutrition Fund – $4,633,474 in total funding is provided for the School Nutrition Fund, which is a decrease of $594,530 for the FY 22 Budget.

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 is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. 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. The debt service budget includes funds for principal, interest and debt administration costs, as well as, savings retained from decreases in prior year debt service. Retaining these one-time monies in the base budget sets them aside to accomplish two objectives: • Fund future capital projects, and • Provide capacity to offset future non-recurring peaks in debt service costs.

Reallocation of Base Debt Service Resources - The base budget includes funds needed to cover the costs

for both County and School 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. Total Funds for debt service do not change for FY 22; however, the County decreased its debt service capacity within the debt service fund by $800,491 and reallocated those funds to the School System to cover school debt service needs. This action increased the amount of funding dedicated to the Schools in the Debt Service Fund from the County transfer from the General Fund by $800,491 and decreased the County’s portion by $800,491.
