Introduction

Contained herein is the Proposed Town of Bedford Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget as recommended by the Finance Committee to the Annual Town Meeting. This document presents summaries of departmental budgets with financial data for the two most recently completed fiscal years (Fiscal Year 2017 and Fiscal Year 2018), and the current Fiscal Year 2019 budget, all of which are presented for informational purposes. Fiscal Year 2020 figures are presented in all phases of its development as follows: FY20 Proposed by Department - The original departmental submittal. FY20 Recommended by T.M. - The budget amounts recommended by the Town Manager for Selectmen departments. FY20 Recommended by Board - The budget amounts recommended by the Board having authority over the department, those being

Selectmen, Planning Board, School Committee, Board of Health and Library Trustees. FY20 Recommended by FINCOM - The budget amounts recommended by the Finance Committee to Annual Town Meeting. Each departmental budget summary includes information showing the financial segregations as recommended by the Finance Committee. Revenue data that can be identified as being generated by departmental activity is also given for each department. To the extent that a department's expenses exceed any specific revenue identified, the remaining revenue needed to support the department is generated from property taxes, general local receipts, and state and federal assistance. Personnel information is also presented indicating the number of personnel assigned to each department expressed in full-time equivalents. The Bedford School Department and vocational education budgets are developed independently. The summary pages presented for each of these budgets are presented for informational purposes in order to yield a budget document which depicts the total appropriation requests to be considered at the Annual Town Meeting. Total expenditures are proposed to increase 4.52% in Fiscal Year 2020. Included in the total expenditures are the operating and capital budgets, the Community Preservation budget, miscellaneous appropriations associated with non-budget warrant articles, state assessments and other miscellaneous expenditures. The portion of total expenditures that represents the Recommended Fiscal Year

2020 Operating Budget is proposed to increase 5.25% over Fiscal Year 2019, with the Insurance & Benefits Budget increasing 9.35%, the Debt budget increasing 13.29%, and the combined Sewer Assessment and Water Purchase appropriations increasing 3.46%. The Recommended Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget is considered a level service budget with a slight decrease in full-time equivalents staff of .95 below Fiscal Year 2019 levels. The proposed staffing changes are for an increase in additional hours for the Economic Development Coordinator from 32 hours to 40 hours (.20 FTE) and decrease in part time hours for Administrative Assistant in Council on Aging (-.15). The increase in the operating budget includes several cost drivers that contributed to the FY20 budget, as well as department contingency requests. These cost drivers were; 1) Refuse and Recycling increase in the FY20 contract ($78,844), 2) 52.4 Week payroll in FY20, v. the normal 52.2 week payroll for all hourly employees, which includes Police, Fire and DPW ($56,498), 3) Internet/Voip Services which was a result in the transition from copper lines to fiber lines, providing increase redundancy for public safety ($13,637), 4) increase in contract for Hazardous Waste Material ($5,120), and 5) additional funding needed for Oil/Water Separator Cleaning in DPW ($10,000). The departmental approved contingency request were; 1) Expansion in hours from 32 to 40 hours per week for the Economic Development Director position ($17,200), 2) DPW safety training ($15,500), 3) Fire safety training and overtime ($25,200), Police training and overtime ($17,200), and 4) DPW/Facilities/Fire outside repairs, and equipment/vehicle maintenance ($24,721). Maximum available Fiscal Year 2019 revenues from all sources are projected to grow 2.51% over Fiscal Year 2019. Three additional appropriations are proposed within other articles on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant. The first is in Article 31 for the Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust Fund ($839,796); the second is in Article 32 for the Accrued Sick Leave Fund ($25,000); and the third is in Article 33 for the Stabilization Fund ($250,000). The maximum additional Fiscal Year 2020 property tax increase under the tax levy limit set by Proposition 2½ was $2.63 Million over the maximum amount that was levied in Fiscal Year 2019, and represented an increase of 3.62%. This amount includes an estimated $1,000,000 in potential tax revenue created by new growth. The taxes levied under “New Growth” are paid by those property owners who have made improvements or built new structures on their property since the prior year, as well as new value resulting from additions to Personal Property. For several years, the Town has not raised the maximum amount of property taxes permitted under Proposition


2½. This so-called “unused tax levy” is projected to decrease from $8,333,574 in Fiscal Year 2019 to $6,600,178 in Fiscal Year 2020 (a 20.80% decrease). The overall property taxes to be raised would increase approximately 6.79% in Fiscal Year 2020. In Fiscal Year 2020, State and Federal aid and Local Receipts are both projected to increase 0.00% and 1.36%, respectively, from FY2019. The Governor’s budget does show in increase in state aid of approximately $600K net, however, the final numbers will not be released until June. Once the state aid numbers are finalized, the Town will update its revenue numbers, which will result in a higher unused levy capacity for FY2020 than what is being projected in the current modeling. The Annual Town Meeting Warrant proposes the Fiscal Year 2020 Capital Projects Plan. Since the General Bylaws of the Town require the development of a six-year capital plan, Fiscal Years 2021 through 2025 of the Proposed Capital Projects Plan are provided beginning on page 68 of this document. This plan specifies the proposed funding sources for these projects. This past year Town staff, boards and committees continued their emphasis on developing, refining and advancing the Town’s long term capital plan. I am appreciative of all staff members who assisted in the development of the budget document, as well as those members of Town elected and appointed boards who have invested many hours in reviewing the Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget, the Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Capital Projects Plan printed in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant, and the Proposed Fiscal Year 2021 – Fiscal Year 2025 Capital Projects Plan contained herein.

Mission Statement: The Selectmen constitute the chief executive body of the Town government. They set policy and execute all publicly advertised contracts for the departments under them.

The five Selectmen are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis for staggered three-year terms. The Selectmen select a chair and a clerk from their membership. The Selectmen currently meet Monday evenings as needed at Town Hall. The Selectmen appoint a Town Manager on the basis of education, training and previous experience in public administration who serves at the pleasure of the Selectmen. Major responsibilities of the Town Manager include policy recommendation, personnel administration, supervision of Selectmen departments, budget and Town Meeting Warrant report preparation.

Description The Refuse budget includes funding for all costs to remove and/or recycle solid waste collected from Bedford's residences, condominiums, schools, churches, and Town departments. Annual expenses include the Department’s contract with Republic Services, Inc., for the curbside collection and hauling of refuse to the Covanta waste-to- energy plant; the collection, hauling, and marketing of recyclables; the weekly curbside collection of bulk goods and white goods; the annual four week (three in the fall, one in the spring) program for curbside collection and hauling of leaves to the Department's composting facility on Carlisle Road; and the collection of Christmas trees to the Department's composting facility on Carlisle Road. This collection contract will expire on June 30, 2019. Additional expenses include a separate contract with Covanta Haverhill Associates of Haverhill, Massachusetts for tipping fees associated with only the tonnage of refuse actually delivered. The Town began a five-year contract with Covanta Haverhill Associates for disposal of Bedford's refuse in FY 2011.
