Key Concepts • Taxes • Budgeting • Organizational Structure • Comprehensive Planning • Strategic Planning • Citizen Participation
“A budget may be characterized as a series of goals with price tags attached” Aaron Wildavsky
Types of Taxes • Regressive • Progressive
Types of Revenue • Property Tax • Income Tax • Sales Tax • Fees for Service • Grants
Methods of Finance • Pay as you go • Reserve Funds • General Obligation Bonds • Revenue Bonds • Lease-Purchase • Special Districts • Special Assessments • Grants • Tax Increment Financing
Types of Budgeting Systems • Line Item Budgeting • Planning, Programming and Budgeting Systems (PPBS) • Management by Objective (MBO) • Zero-Base Budget (ZBB)
Capital Improvements Program • What is a Capital Improvement? • Is a public facility that constitutes a major expenditure and a long life involving nonrecurring expenditures • What is a Capital Improvement Program? • A guide to the provision of capital improvements by balancing revenues, expenditures, as well as sequencing of acquisition actions. It is linked to the goals established within the comprehensive plan.
Bond Rating System • Firms • Standard & Poor’s AAA - C • Moody’s Investors Service Aaa - C • Two Types Issuer and Issue Rating
Certificates of Obligation • What is a CO? • Higher Interest Rate • Does not have to be Voter Approved
Project Management • Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT): Project management technique that defines shared activities and creates a sequence of events. • Critical Path Programming (CPP): The critical path of activities to complete a project.
Forms of Local Govt • Weak Mayor-Council • Strong Mayor-Council • Commission Plan • Council-Manager
Types of Local Governments • General-purpose local government – counties, municipalities, towns and townships. • Single-purpose local government – School districts and special districts.
Span of Control Heirarchical
Span of Control Flat
Organizational Center • Staff Functions – Support line positions • Budgeting, Human Resources • Line Functions – Provide direct service • Water, Parks
Work Areas • Function – transportation, historic preservation • Process – zoning review, demographic analysis • Time – current v. long range • Area - neighborhoods
Centralization • Centralized - functional • Decentralized – typically by area
Comprehensive Planning • The official statement of a legislative body that sets forth its major policies concerning desirable future physical development • Should be adopted by the governing body • Key Elements • Demographics • Land use • Transportation • Community facilities • Infrastructure
Strategic Planning • Analyze Community Needs • Determine Long Term Objectives • SWOT Analysis • Involve stakeholders • Develop and evaluate alternatives • Develop policies • Conduct evaluation
Citizen Participation • Computer simulation • Design Charrette • Facilitated Meetings • Neighborhood organizations • Delphi Method • Task Force • Visioning • Public Hearings
Research methods and techniques • Collecting data • Techniques for organizing information • Analysis of information (quantitative and qualitative) • Demographics • Fiscal impact analysis
Key Topics • Data Types/Measurement • Descriptive Statistics • Normal Distribution • Sampling Distribution • Estimation
Types of Statistics • Descriptive – describes data • Inferential – tells about population • Sample statistic to estimate population parameter
Types of Data • Nominal: no order: social security number • Ordinal: order, but no magnitude: letter grade • Interval: order, magnitude, but no fixed interval: example temperature • Ratio: order, magnitude, and interval (used for measures of central tendency): distance
Measures of Central Tendency • Mean (average) • Median (middle number), best for skewed data • Mode (most frequent number)
Categorized Data • Frequency • Cumulative Frequency • Relative Frequency • Cumulative Relative Frequency
Key Topics • Population Projections • Employment Forecasting • Sources of Data • Methods of Data Analysis
Population • Current Estimates • Most recent US Census • Migration and Natural Increase • Birth and Death Rates (aggregate) • Net Migration – school enrollment • Step Down Method • Using data for state/county/MSA • Other: Telephone hookups, electric meters • Population Projections
Population Projections • Growth Curves • Take Current Population and Historical Population to identify a pattern of growth, which is used to estimate future population.
Gompertz Straight Projection Exponential
Population Projections • Step-down Methods (state, county, MSA) • Use ratio of population of community to a larger area • Cohort Survival • Birth Rate/Death Rate • Migration Rates
Population Pyramid Source: Vicki Male
Birth Rates • Need a birth rate of 2.1 to maintain the population size • Birth rates are generally going down • Europe birth rate of 1.5 (European Union) • United States rate of 2.0 – 2.1 (US Census)
Data Sources • US Bureau of the Census (http://www.census.gov) • FedStats (http://www.fedstats.gov) • National Center for Health Statistics (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/) • State-level Department of Health for information on birth and death rates
Employment Data • US Bureau of the Census – 5 year economic census (http://www.census.gov) • County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov) • Census Transportation Planning Package (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/)
Economic Base Analysis • Economic Base Analysis tries to determine the multiplier effect • Location Quotient (concentration of a given industry in a given place and compares it to the nation)
Economic Base Model • If Location Quotient is >1 exporting employment • If Location Quotient is <1 importing employment • Basic Activities can be exported, while non-Basic Activities cannot be exported
Multiplier Effect • Total Employment/Basic Employment • 20,000/10,000 = 2.0 • Every basic employee generates 2.0 employees. That person plus 1.0 additional employees.
Shift-Share Analysis • Analyzes change in employment in a given area and given industry • Look at two periods • Between 1990 and 2000 the helium industry increased employment by 3 percent in the Amarillo, Texas Metropolitan Area. The MSA’s employment increased by 10 percent. • Between 1990 and 2000 the helium industry growth was 5 percent nationally and overall employment grew 10 percent.
