MANAGERrsquoS BUDGET MESSAGE
June 1 2015 Alamance County Board of Commissioners
Board of Commissioners
It is my pleasure as Alamance County Budget Officer to submit the fiscal year 2015-2016 proposed budget to you for consideration pursuant to NC General Statutes This balanced budget proposal has been prepared in accordance with NC law which requires that the budget ordinance for Alamance County be adopted no later than July 1 2015 The fiscal year 2015-2016 budget totals $159004524
The Alamance County budget process allowed all county department heads and outside agencies to present their departmental needs to the County Manager and Board of Commissioners allowing time to ask questions relating to upcoming needs in the area of personnel new programs and capital expenditures The final committee meeting included the full board of commissioners providing a smooth transition to prioritizing needs and reviewing revenue trends
Alamance Countyrsquos economy is recovering as there are positive signs that improvements are in our future The county unemployment rate has declined over the past year due to slight job creation accompanied by an absolute decline in our work force Major corporate announcements including distribution facilities planned by Sheetz Inc and Wal-Mart continue to offer a promising outlook for not only direct employment but support for businesses as well Honda Jet is now accredited by the FAA allowing the manufacture of the jet engine plant located in Alamance County to come to full fruition The County continues to work with municipalities the State and the Chamber of Commerce for economic development opportunities in the County In addition to providing local employment opportunities these major capital investments will contribute substantially to increasing the county property tax base Positive consumer confidence combined with additional development at Alamance Crossing and the continued success of Tanger Outlet Center has resulted in increased sales tax revenue compared to prior year levels This trend will hopefully continue into the future
Highlights of the 2015-2016 proposed general fund budget include bull A proposed increase in the current property tax rate of $0065 to increase the overall rate to $0595 per $100 bull Appropriation of $3500000 in fund balance to reflect increases in fund balance levels during fiscal year 2014
and projected 2015 bull Provide funding for a capital improvement plan for needed building repairs and improvements bull Provide partial funding to adjust pay scales to market values per a professional assessment of county jobs
and wages bull Provide additional funding for local K-12 school system to increase certified staff (teacher) supplements for
longevity and to provide local funding for class size reduction efforts

General Fund Revenues
Total projected general fund revenues for 2015-2016 are $139777946 reflecting increases in both property tax revenue and sales tax revenue Beginning with fiscal year 2015 counties will have the full benefit of North Carolinarsquos new ldquotag and taxrdquo program Recent state legislation requires that all vehicle taxes must now be paid at the time of license renewal The state is charging administrative fees for providing the collection service resulting in uncertainty of the net benefit to the counties and municipalities that receive this revenue Real estate tax revenue will increase due to continued investments by commercial businesses building or expanding their businesses As mentioned previously the county is expected to benefit from increased sales tax revenue during the coming fiscal year Appropriated fund balance is projected to fill the gap between total revenues and expenses
General Fund Expenditures
Department expenses within Alamance County are projected to remain fairly constant during fiscal year 2016 Technological enhancements are budgeted in several departments due to state reporting requirements and aging software programs that contribute to challenging servicing problems Capital needs projected during 2016 include additional vehicles for the sheriffrsquos fleet improved technology backup systems planned facility upgrades and miscellaneous equipment purchases as identified through the budgeting process
School Funding
In addition to the initiatives and projects covered above the County received a request from the Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) totaling $39767319 ($39017319 for operations and $750000 for capital improvements) compared to the FY 2014-2015 budget of $33367749 The recommended budget totals $36167749 which allocates $35917749 for operations and $250000 for capital improvements Funding will assist the Alamance-Burlington School System with their strategic plan implementation

Special Revenue and Capital Reserve FundsThe County maintains several special revenue and capital reserve funds for a variety of purposes These include County Buildings Capital Reserve Schools Capital Reserve and ACC Capital Reserve Funds
In addition to the capital reserve funds discussed above the County maintains two special revenue funds These are funds where the revenue sources are restricted as to their use and the Local Government Commission requires they
FY 2015-2016 Managerrsquos Recommended Budget Page 3
be maintained in funds separate from the General Fund The Countyrsquos twelve fire districts are each maintained in their own fund
The final fund in this section is the Emergency Telephone System Fund Effective January 1 2008 the State changed the guidelines for surcharges to provide E911 services The State now imposes a surcharge of 60 cents per month per line for landline and wireless phone service The County no longer has a separate imposition of emergency telephone surcharges and will receive a portion of these proceeds Funds are used by the County to pay for costs associated with receiving E911 calls (the State carefully monitors this for compliance) The FCC is requiring all communication centers that receive E911 calls to be able to geographically locate the source of cell phone calls made to 911
Landfill Fund
Financially the Landfill Fund continues to operate as budgeted setting aside sufficient funds for closure and post-closure reserves as required by law Revenue is generated by user fees
Employee Compensation and Positions
The proposed budget includes adjustments to wages for county employees as partial implementation of a pay scale plan
The budget includes eighteen new positions and three reclassifications Of the eighteen new positions the Social Services Department is requesting one IMC I position and fourteen IMC II positions which will be reimbursed in part by State and Federal funds A summary is as follows

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

MANAGERrsquoS BUDGET MESSAGE
June 1 2015 Alamance County Board of Commissioners
Board of Commissioners
It is my pleasure as Alamance County Budget Officer to submit the fiscal year 2015-2016 proposed budget to you for consideration pursuant to NC General Statutes This balanced budget proposal has been prepared in accordance with NC law which requires that the budget ordinance for Alamance County be adopted no later than July 1 2015 The fiscal year 2015-2016 budget totals $159004524
The Alamance County budget process allowed all county department heads and outside agencies to present their departmental needs to the County Manager and Board of Commissioners allowing time to ask questions relating to upcoming needs in the area of personnel new programs and capital expenditures The final committee meeting included the full board of commissioners providing a smooth transition to prioritizing needs and reviewing revenue trends
Alamance Countyrsquos economy is recovering as there are positive signs that improvements are in our future The county unemployment rate has declined over the past year due to slight job creation accompanied by an absolute decline in our work force Major corporate announcements including distribution facilities planned by Sheetz Inc and Wal-Mart continue to offer a promising outlook for not only direct employment but support for businesses as well Honda Jet is now accredited by the FAA allowing the manufacture of the jet engine plant located in Alamance County to come to full fruition The County continues to work with municipalities the State and the Chamber of Commerce for economic development opportunities in the County In addition to providing local employment opportunities these major capital investments will contribute substantially to increasing the county property tax base Positive consumer confidence combined with additional development at Alamance Crossing and the continued success of Tanger Outlet Center has resulted in increased sales tax revenue compared to prior year levels This trend will hopefully continue into the future
Highlights of the 2015-2016 proposed general fund budget include bull A proposed increase in the current property tax rate of $0065 to increase the overall rate to $0595 per $100 bull Appropriation of $3500000 in fund balance to reflect increases in fund balance levels during fiscal year 2014
and projected 2015 bull Provide funding for a capital improvement plan for needed building repairs and improvements bull Provide partial funding to adjust pay scales to market values per a professional assessment of county jobs
and wages bull Provide additional funding for local K-12 school system to increase certified staff (teacher) supplements for
longevity and to provide local funding for class size reduction efforts

General Fund Revenues
Total projected general fund revenues for 2015-2016 are $139777946 reflecting increases in both property tax revenue and sales tax revenue Beginning with fiscal year 2015 counties will have the full benefit of North Carolinarsquos new ldquotag and taxrdquo program Recent state legislation requires that all vehicle taxes must now be paid at the time of license renewal The state is charging administrative fees for providing the collection service resulting in uncertainty of the net benefit to the counties and municipalities that receive this revenue Real estate tax revenue will increase due to continued investments by commercial businesses building or expanding their businesses As mentioned previously the county is expected to benefit from increased sales tax revenue during the coming fiscal year Appropriated fund balance is projected to fill the gap between total revenues and expenses
General Fund Expenditures
Department expenses within Alamance County are projected to remain fairly constant during fiscal year 2016 Technological enhancements are budgeted in several departments due to state reporting requirements and aging software programs that contribute to challenging servicing problems Capital needs projected during 2016 include additional vehicles for the sheriffrsquos fleet improved technology backup systems planned facility upgrades and miscellaneous equipment purchases as identified through the budgeting process
School Funding
In addition to the initiatives and projects covered above the County received a request from the Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) totaling $39767319 ($39017319 for operations and $750000 for capital improvements) compared to the FY 2014-2015 budget of $33367749 The recommended budget totals $36167749 which allocates $35917749 for operations and $250000 for capital improvements Funding will assist the Alamance-Burlington School System with their strategic plan implementation

Special Revenue and Capital Reserve FundsThe County maintains several special revenue and capital reserve funds for a variety of purposes These include County Buildings Capital Reserve Schools Capital Reserve and ACC Capital Reserve Funds
In addition to the capital reserve funds discussed above the County maintains two special revenue funds These are funds where the revenue sources are restricted as to their use and the Local Government Commission requires they
FY 2015-2016 Managerrsquos Recommended Budget Page 3
be maintained in funds separate from the General Fund The Countyrsquos twelve fire districts are each maintained in their own fund
The final fund in this section is the Emergency Telephone System Fund Effective January 1 2008 the State changed the guidelines for surcharges to provide E911 services The State now imposes a surcharge of 60 cents per month per line for landline and wireless phone service The County no longer has a separate imposition of emergency telephone surcharges and will receive a portion of these proceeds Funds are used by the County to pay for costs associated with receiving E911 calls (the State carefully monitors this for compliance) The FCC is requiring all communication centers that receive E911 calls to be able to geographically locate the source of cell phone calls made to 911
Landfill Fund
Financially the Landfill Fund continues to operate as budgeted setting aside sufficient funds for closure and post-closure reserves as required by law Revenue is generated by user fees
Employee Compensation and Positions
The proposed budget includes adjustments to wages for county employees as partial implementation of a pay scale plan
The budget includes eighteen new positions and three reclassifications Of the eighteen new positions the Social Services Department is requesting one IMC I position and fourteen IMC II positions which will be reimbursed in part by State and Federal funds A summary is as follows

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

General Fund Revenues
Total projected general fund revenues for 2015-2016 are $139777946 reflecting increases in both property tax revenue and sales tax revenue Beginning with fiscal year 2015 counties will have the full benefit of North Carolinarsquos new ldquotag and taxrdquo program Recent state legislation requires that all vehicle taxes must now be paid at the time of license renewal The state is charging administrative fees for providing the collection service resulting in uncertainty of the net benefit to the counties and municipalities that receive this revenue Real estate tax revenue will increase due to continued investments by commercial businesses building or expanding their businesses As mentioned previously the county is expected to benefit from increased sales tax revenue during the coming fiscal year Appropriated fund balance is projected to fill the gap between total revenues and expenses
General Fund Expenditures
Department expenses within Alamance County are projected to remain fairly constant during fiscal year 2016 Technological enhancements are budgeted in several departments due to state reporting requirements and aging software programs that contribute to challenging servicing problems Capital needs projected during 2016 include additional vehicles for the sheriffrsquos fleet improved technology backup systems planned facility upgrades and miscellaneous equipment purchases as identified through the budgeting process
School Funding
In addition to the initiatives and projects covered above the County received a request from the Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) totaling $39767319 ($39017319 for operations and $750000 for capital improvements) compared to the FY 2014-2015 budget of $33367749 The recommended budget totals $36167749 which allocates $35917749 for operations and $250000 for capital improvements Funding will assist the Alamance-Burlington School System with their strategic plan implementation

Special Revenue and Capital Reserve FundsThe County maintains several special revenue and capital reserve funds for a variety of purposes These include County Buildings Capital Reserve Schools Capital Reserve and ACC Capital Reserve Funds
In addition to the capital reserve funds discussed above the County maintains two special revenue funds These are funds where the revenue sources are restricted as to their use and the Local Government Commission requires they
FY 2015-2016 Managerrsquos Recommended Budget Page 3
be maintained in funds separate from the General Fund The Countyrsquos twelve fire districts are each maintained in their own fund
The final fund in this section is the Emergency Telephone System Fund Effective January 1 2008 the State changed the guidelines for surcharges to provide E911 services The State now imposes a surcharge of 60 cents per month per line for landline and wireless phone service The County no longer has a separate imposition of emergency telephone surcharges and will receive a portion of these proceeds Funds are used by the County to pay for costs associated with receiving E911 calls (the State carefully monitors this for compliance) The FCC is requiring all communication centers that receive E911 calls to be able to geographically locate the source of cell phone calls made to 911
Landfill Fund
Financially the Landfill Fund continues to operate as budgeted setting aside sufficient funds for closure and post-closure reserves as required by law Revenue is generated by user fees

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

be maintained in funds separate from the General Fund The Countyrsquos twelve fire districts are each maintained in their own fund
The final fund in this section is the Emergency Telephone System Fund Effective January 1 2008 the State changed the guidelines for surcharges to provide E911 services The State now imposes a surcharge of 60 cents per month per line for landline and wireless phone service The County no longer has a separate imposition of emergency telephone surcharges and will receive a portion of these proceeds Funds are used by the County to pay for costs associated with receiving E911 calls (the State carefully monitors this for compliance) The FCC is requiring all communication centers that receive E911 calls to be able to geographically locate the source of cell phone calls made to 911
Landfill Fund
Financially the Landfill Fund continues to operate as budgeted setting aside sufficient funds for closure and post-closure reserves as required by law Revenue is generated by user fees

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager

In Conclusion
I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication as we move forward with this proposed budget We must always remember the purpose of a budget is to provide parameters for how we will deliver services to our citizens in the upcoming year Last year a tax decrease was approved this year we recommend increasing the tax rate by $0595 per $100 valuation
With the first stage for implementation of our pay and classification study for our employees (updated for the first time since 1999) and with community commitment to help fund the ABSS Strategic Plan many needs will be addressed with this budget Also with our continued support of the growing deferred maintenance and capital needs at Alamance Community College many issues have been addressed We have also continued trying to budget the necessary funding for capital for the operation of our basic services - from EMSSheriffMIS to updating and repairing our existing 500000 square feet of County buildings
Our employees have learned to do more with less as they have been inventive and progressive in service delivery We have had some difficult times since the Great Recession with our past budgets however I believe that the overall service delivery effects to our citizens have been very small We have been able to address our fund balance issues and many of our capital needs as we move forward into fiscal year 2015-2016 If you look at our operating budgets internally ndash 13 out of 32 came in less than the 201415 FY ndash the only increases were salary and benefits increases
I would like to thank our Finance Department for the work that they have done (Finance Officer Susan Roberts Finance Specialist Rhonda Moricle Budget Analyst Andrea Rollins and Finance Technician Brenda Murphy) as we began a new process with the budget committee I appreciate Chairman Ingle and all the Commissioners for the time and dedication they gave to this process Meeting with every internal and external agency to hear and understand their budgetary needs as well as to understand how their operations are integral to the overall mission of Alamance County is important ndash as we are only as strong as our weakest link It is important to hear directly from our Department Heads concerning the needs to provide necessary services to our community With your input I believe that we have a good process that will be continued in the future
As we discussed last year we continue to place emphasis on fund balance We have addressed capital needs as well as our fund balance within this budget We have made excellent progress and will continue to become stronger as we move forward We believe that this budget will allow us to meet the needs of the citizens of Alamance County
Many positive things are happening in Alamance County From economic growth and development which has led to greater job opportunities for our citizens along with those companies new and expanded capital investments in our community we are almost getting back to pre-recession growth numbers We have also seen our strong growth in our sales tax which is a very positive indicator for continued retail growth and development in our community
This is the Managerrsquos Recommended Budget for your review As staff we hope that this budget accurately reflects your wishes However if changes are necessary we stand ready to follow the wishes of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to ensure that the goals and objectives of the board are addressed making necessary changes as appropriate
We continually strive to make sure that we provide the highest level of services to our citizens and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you the community and the best county staff anywhere as your County Manager We present this budget for your consideration
Sincerely
Craig F Honeycutt County Manager
