METHODOLOGY • Methodology • Amendment # 1 • Very preliminary estimates from Property Appraiser’s office • probability projections • Shared revenues • probability projections • OPEB liability • Actuarial study • Guidance from GASB • Review of budget (General Fund – major focus) • Capital projects analysis (cancellation & deferral) (preliminary) • Manpower – frozen positions • Expenditures – will be reviewed in formal budget process

  7. OVERVIEW – GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTED ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL without “roll forward”

  8. REVENUES $1,260,000* (rounded) $104,000** Ad Valorem taxes as 40.3% 36.1% percent of General Fund *High end of estimate detailing effect of Amendment #1 **Reflects economic downturn on shared revenues i.e. gas tax & sales tax

  9. EXPENDITURES Contract increases & OPEB* Neutral (for now)** Capital (next slide) Bonds defeased *Other post employment benefits **Assumes price increases absorbed by savings

  10. Personnel = nine “frozen” positions; • Capital = combination of cancelled & deferred projects • Metered Parking Fund • pays MHP revenue note • Maintenance. worker i.e. “beautification” • Public safety vehicles (an increased amount not shown because not known yet) *Maritime Hammock Preserve

  14. Reserve Analysis • Savings in FY 2008 will provide sufficient coverage of shortfall.

  15. Shortfall Analysis • Positives: • Proactive fiscal steps in FY 2008 provide cushion for projected shortfall. • Budget process not yet begun • Pitfalls & unknowns: • Capital deferrals cannot be sustained indefinitely • Gasoline prices/materials prices could be problem • Staffing reductions directly impact service capability • Economy • Further action by legislature

  16. THE PLAN • Current plan; • Review budget in March/April/May • Move revenue enhancements forward • Fund FY 2009 shortfall with FY 2008 savings

  17. THE PLAN • Strategic (long range) plan • Reduce GF dependence on single revenue (i.e. property tax) source. • Add new revenue sources • Analyze origins of costs • Review fees at more frequent intervals • Increase user fees to properly reflect costs (CPI = lagging indicator) • Review parking program (and other funds) • Fines unchanged since 1996 • Objective – Increase transfers to General Fund
