Pack submits proposed budget with tax refund McDermott says Pack ‘trying to play Santa Claus’

by Leah Justice

Polk County Commissioner Tom Pack has submitted his own budget recommendation for fiscal year 2011-12 that includes a tax

decrease for residents and raises for some sheriff, jail and communication employees. It also keeps the health insurance deductible for employees at $500.

Commissioner Ted Owens said he agrees with Pack’s proposal, but commissioners Ray Gasperson and Renée McDermott said Pack’s proposal is not

2011 CCC Horse Driving Trial May 28-29 at FENCE The Carolina Carriage Club will host its seventh annual Horse Driving Trial on Memorial Day weekend, May 28-29, at Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE).

In addition to enjoying the nature center trails and the attractions of the equestrian center, you can watch 39 competitors exhibit their carriage driving skills. Action begins at 8 a.m. as drivers warm up for the start of dressage and cones on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday. The show is free for spectators.

Organizers Price Story of Mills River, N.C., and Jackie Lewis of Columbus said the show has 39 entries this year.

Two drivers from 2010 return to compete in this year’s Preliminary Single Pony Division: Suzan Sallstrom of Leesville, S.C., with her Morgan, Malvern’s Firefly and Sue Carrier of Columbus with her husband’s Arab/Andalusian/ Haflinger Cross, Willow, Sallstrom and Carrier will meet several challengers moving up from Training Single Pony to Preliminary.

Leading the group of challengers is Claire Moore of Columbus with Dale Govus’ Welsh Cob, Lemon Tree Magic Illusion.

Moore was first in her 2010 class, with a score of 45.13. Next is Peggy Keeler of Aiken, S.C., with her Canadian Sport Pony, Jumpin’ Jack Flash. They were first in their class last year with 58.22. Other competitors in this class include Alice Baughman of Ridgeville, S.C., and her German Riding Pony, Scooter (second place last year with 62.31), and Gloria Ripperton of Pittsboro, N.C., and her Morgan, Nemo (third last year with 70.22). (Note: Since elapsed time within the Marathon Hazards does not count in the Training Division as it does in Preliminary, there is no point comparing division scores.)

Pam Gordon of Tryon and her Welsh Cob, Solstice Sangria, move up from Training to Preliminary Single Horse to challenge two experienced Preliminary Hackney horses, Halstead by Legacy, owned and driven by Marcie Quist of Vass,

Returning second place 2010 Preliminary Single Pony competitor Suzan Sallstrom and Malvern’s Firefly will meet some serious challengers this year. (photo by Hoofclix.com)

N.C., and Green Meadows Regalia, owned and driven by Amy Neary of Strawberry Plains, Tenn.

Reba Wagner from Cedar Grove, N.C., will bring her pair of Percheron geldings, Lewis and Clark.

The tandem pair of Joanie Schisler, of Aiken, S.C., should be interesting as this formation is a challenge to drive; the lead horse is not attached to the carriage

other than by very flexible traces.

Winston, an Arabian Gelding, will lead wheeler Barley, a Morgan gelding and frequent participant in CCC events.

It always seems to take a cast of thousands to produce a driving event (marathon judges and timers, scribes, cones pushers and timers, hospitality, EMT, crossing guards, farriers, vet services, announcers, starters and score runners). In fact,

53 dedicated volunteers will care for the 39 entries, organized by volunteer coordinator Carol Greata of Campobello.

Commissioner Pack explains his Polk budget proposal Editor’s note: Following is a narrative provided by Polk County Commissioner Tom Pack explaining the budget proposal he submitted to commissioners on Monday, 16, 2011.

Let me say that going into the budget process I was aware Polk County does not have a revenue problem. Polk County has a problem of spending and prioritization.

I begin to address these issues in my proposed changes to the budget. I could go much farther in cuts but I want to get the other commissioners over the fear of that we are tight on money.

Page 1 contains the reductions that I see that can easily be made.

It will delay a couple of projects but will not be detrimental to Polk County. These can easily be included in the next budget as the budget we are working on contains $400,000 worth of one-time expenditures.

Page 2 contains increases to the budget that I feel are necessary to be fair with the employees. His-

torically, Polk County government employees’ salaries have been lower than the private sector in most cases. The lower salary has been offset with better benefits such as medical insurance. In the manager’s proposed budget, the deductible for the employees insurance would increase by $1,000 for an individual.

I did not believe this to be fair as most of their salaries are lower than comparable jobs in the private sector. The county employees have not seen an increase in salary for the last three years.

I also tried to start correcting what I feel are inconsistencies in pay for some county employees.

You will see small salary increases in the sheriff, jail and communication salary lines. This increases the salaries of some in these departments that were making less than the person that cleans the Womack Building. I don’t think people realized that some of the Detention Officers in the jail or the people that work in Communications were

making less than the person that does the cleaning of the Womack Building. I think the justification is easily seen for these changes when you look at the duties these people perform.

Page 3 contains the capital expenditures listed in the proposed manager’s budget. I have not made any changes here but some could be delayed to save more but I don’t think I would get the support for further reductions.

Page 4 starts by showing the excess revenue ($1,426,281) that the county brought in during the 2009 – 2010 budget period before commissioners decided to amend the budget and spend more than was proposed when the budget was initially adopted. These increases in spending are called budget amendments that pull monies from fund balance.

I believe that capital expenditures should be tied to the excess revenue from the prior budget. I believe no more than 60 percent ($855,768.60) of the prior year excess revenue should go to normal capital expenditures. The remaining 40 percent ($570,512.40) should increase the un-appropriated fund balance for future large capital expenditures that are well planned

in a future needs forecast such as new buildings, etc…. The proposed manager’s budget does not adhere to this, so the $555,324 of capital expenditures from page 3 for this year’s budget comes from revenues, not un-appropriated fund balance.

I did not propose changing this but believe it should be instituted next budget. I simply showed how the numbers would look if we did adhere to this in the manager’s proposed budget.

So, with this being said, the county received $1,426,281 in excess revenues last budget year and $1,593,744 the year before that. If you look back this has been the case since 2005. I believe that we are overcharging the taxpayers and that is why I show giving the taxpayers a $300,444.60 tax cut.

Some will argue that I am pulling some ($244,797.60) of this out of fund balance. I am doing this due to the fact that we are not pulling capital expenditures in the budget from fund balance so we need to return some of the excess revenue to the taxpayer. I believe that we should be able to give another tax cut next year if we as commissioners don’t try to spend every dime the county receives in revenues whether budgeted or excess.

• Pack budget

the county needs to return some of the excess revenue to the taxpayer.

Pack said the county received $1,426,281 in excess revenues last budget year and $1,593,744 the previous year and those excess trends have been the case since 2005.

“I believe that we are overcharging the taxpayers and that is why I show giving the taxpayers a $300,444.60 tax cut,” Pack said.

According to the Polk County Finance Office, one penny in Polk County’s tax rate equals approximately $262,770 in revenue, so Pack’s proposal would mean just over a penny decrease to the county’s current 52 cents per $100 of property valuation.

But commissioner McDermott

sistencies in some employee salaries. For example, he said he doesn’t think people realize that some employees in the sheriff, jail and communication offices are making less than the person who cleans the Womack building.

“I think the justification is easily seen for these changes when you look at the duties these people perform,” Pack said. (See above for Pack’s full narrative on his proposed budget.)

Pack also said although some may argue he is pulling $244,798 out of fund balance to help give taxpayers a tax cut of $300,445, he doesn’t feel that way. He said the county’s proposed budget does not pull capital expenditures from the fund balance, so

McDermott, Owens, Gasperson comment on Pack budget proposal Editor’s note: Following are comments provided by Polk County commissioners Ren ée McDermott, Ted Owens and Ray Gasperson in response to Tom Pack’sbudget proposal.

Renée McDermott: Tom Pack’s budget is an attempt at alchemy, an attempt to make gold out of base metal; but it still doesn’t work. At best, it is fool’s gold. He raids the fund balance, the county’s savings, to pay for one years oper-

ating costs. What about next year, and the next? It’s not sustainable.

He guts the planning department’s funds for the comprehensive plan and unified development ordinance (UDO) in attempt to cripple that work. He and Ted Owens want to make Polk County an easier place for housing development, even though we have up to 6,000 approved or in the works lots standing idle. He also cuts planning board funds

for attorneys’ fees, further crippling the comprehensive plan and UDO. Tom’s budget is just plain bad for Polk County.

Another way to describe Tom Pack’s budget is that he is trying to play Santa Claus with the taxpayers’ money. He tries to provide unsustainable gifts for some, especially some of the employees, but there will not be enough tax dollars to continue

them next year or after that. Tom draws heavily on the taxpayers’ savings, the fund balance, to pay for this year’s gifts. Then what will happen? With next year being an election year, he knows that his own budget this year would require a tax increase that the fiscally responsible commissioners would have to vote for but Tom would refuse to vote for.

• Pack budget

payers’ savings, the fund balance, to pay for this year’s gifts,” McDermott said. “Then what will happen?”

(See above for comments from commissioners McDermott, Owens and Gasperson.)

McDermott also said Pack’s budget will require a tax increase next year, an election year, which she said the fiscally responsible commissioners would have to vote for and Pack would refuse to vote for. “(Pack) would then blame his

own fiscal mess on the responsible majority, right in time for the election,” said McDermott. “If the county manager had recommended the same budget Tom Pack has produced, we would have to fire him.”

Commissioners have not yet publicly discussed Pack’s budget recommendation. The county meets again on Monday, June 6 at the Saluda Library. A budget workshop will be at 6 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.

The county manager’s budget proposal includes no tax increases or decreases, no employee salary increases and an increase in employee insurance deductibles from $500 to $1,000 a month beginning Jan. 1, 2012, as well as copay increases.

The county plans to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget on June 13 and adopt the budget on June 20. The new fiscal year begins July 1.

He would then blame his own fiscal mess on the responsible majority, right in time for the election.

If the county manager had recommended the same budget Tom Pack has produced, we would have to fire him.

I frankly feel we should do more.

One of the things I would like to look at is the $35 Landfill Transfer Fee (tax). I think commissioner Pack’s budget is a good start in the right direction.

Ray Gasperson: There are several parts of commissioner Pack’s budget proposal that I find very troubling, such as cutting funding for Lake Adger Dam repair, lowering fuel contingency funding (to cover high gasoline costs for the sheriff’s office, EMS and other essential vehicles) and stopping necessary contracted services in order to achieve the next step of the 20/20 Vision ence At Center, located 374 advoHudplan. the same timeatPack low Road Forest City,toN.C. cates givinginpay increases a few The cost employees, of the class select county butcan not be to refunded if you become an active all of the other employees.

Operation Fan/Heat Relief kicks off 25th year in North Carolina Valassis Giving Committee have donated generously to support this important program,” said Dennis Streets, DAAS director. “The program is successful because of the concerted efforts of the 17 regional Area Agencies on Aging and the local aging and adult service provider agencies which purchase and make fans available to eligible people.”

Last year, donations totaled $135,500 and with these funds, 8,435 fans and 83 air

conditioners were distributed. In certain counties, air conditioners are made available for people with more serious health problems. There is no public money associated with this project.

People who are 60 or older or people with disabilities are eligible to receive one fan per year to help alleviate heat problems within their home.

“This is much more than a comfort issue as it really helps protect the health and safety of some of our most

vulnerable citizens living in communities across North Carolina,” Streets said.

More information on local provider agencies distributing the fans can be found on the web at www.ncdhhs.gov/ aging/heat.htm, by calling the regional Area Agency on Aging or by contacting Pam Doty at The Senior Center at 828-894-0001 (the phone number listed on the website is incorrect).

The Polk County Extension Office is offering a “Canning and Preserving Made Easy” series of workshops. The first in the series of workshops is “Canning Made Easy,” an overview of canning fruits and vegetables, and will be held at the Polk County Extension Center on June 9. This two-hour workshop will be at 2 p.m. and another at 6 p.m. Both classes cover the same materials.

The second canning workshop, “Canning Jam, Jellies and Pickles” will be on June 16. This workshop will also be a two-hour class with one class at 2 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. The “Ball Blue Book of Canning” will be available for sale during both classes.

Preserving food cannot be considered new and trendy, but the recent revival fits the modern renaissance of handcrafted food, heirloom agriculture and using food in its season.

“There’s an incredible surge of interest recently,” said Jimmi Buell, family and consumer science agent with the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Extension Services. “People want to take back their food and their skills from the industrial giants.

In a time of high food prices, job losses and food safety scares,’ home canning is booming.”

Stacks of locally grown, peakripe produce are about to appear at farmers markets, roadside stand and backyards all over the county.

This is the window of opportunity to preserve all of nature’s bounty.

“The thoughts of home canning, whether you are a pro or a novice, can be overwhelming,” said Buell, “but with the help of the Extension Office, we can make the process manageable.”

Call the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Extension Service at 828-894-8218 to reserve your space for these workshops or if you have any questions.
