Farmington Town Council and Members of the Public:

I present for your review the Town Manager’s recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015. This budget is proposed, as always, with the Town of Farmington Vision Statement inmind. The Town of Farmington Vision Statement is that:

• Farmington will be recognized as an historic and progressive town with an engaged citizenrycommitted to the betterment of the entire community. To that end high quality services will beprovided to a diverse population living and working in a balanced blend of open space, andresidential housing and commercial properties supported by stable and equitable revenues...”

The General Fund Budget includes the recommended spending for the Town, for the schoolsystem, for debt service and for capital improvements. The recommended budgets forWestwoods Golf Course, the Recreation Fund and solid waste collection and disposal are alsoincluded for your review.

The Town Council set a target in which the Town expenditure portion of the budget wouldincrease no more than 2% to 2.75% above current expenditures and asked that I strive tomaintain existing services. Along with the Town Council’s budget target, the Town’s StrategicPlan and the Town’s Capital Improvement Policy were the policy guidelines at the forefrontwhen formulating this budget. The budget building process focused around three fundingthemes. These themes were:

1) Maintain current service levels. Continue to fund accounts at levels that will enablethe service level to remain at high standards.

2) Significantly increase the pension allocation. Based on the recommendations of thePension Board, new assumptions have been adopted for the pension fund. The newassumptions changed the overall funding level of the pension. Therefore, these changesresulted in the need for an increased contribution to keep the Pension Plan funded at anacceptable and appropriate level.

3) Increase Capital Funding, The cost of maintaining the Town’s infrastructure throughthe Capital Budget is a necessary expense that has to be recognized. The cost of notmaintaining the Town’s property, buildings, and equipment will have a significant longterm impact. This year’s increased appropriation exceeds our Capital ImprovementPolicy guidelines and will allow us to make significant headway toward meeting theTown’s capital improvement needs.

The recommended Town budget contains a 3.04% spending increase for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015. This increase has afforded me the ability to meet all of the above mentioned guidelinesand policy directions for town services and spending. An increase in spending of 3.04%ensures service levels that residents expect in Farmington and it also allows for significantinvestment in areas like the Pension Fund and capital improvements.

S: LKATHY’i3udget 20 14201 5\Town Manager Budget\2014 Letter to Town CounciIdoc

• Based on the Self-Insurance Reserve Policy I am recommending reducing the HealthInsurance contribution and using a portion of the excess reserves in the Self-InsuranceFund to pay claims.

The proposed total Town General Fund Appropriation is $26,163,767, which is a 3.04%increase above the current budget.

The Debt group of accounts includes appropriations to pay off long-term debt. The totalamount proposed is $6,988,196, which is a decrease of (7.8)%, or ($591,002). Debt servicepayments are decreasing as a result of older debt issuances maturing.

The Refuse Collection budget includes the cost of collecting and disposing of solid and bulkywaste generated by town residents and the Town’s landfill operation. This budget proposes arate decrease of $1.00 to an annual fee of $235.00 per household.

Capital Improvements

The proposed General Fund appropriation to support the Capital Improvements is $2,944,765which is 3.12% of projected annual General Fund revenues allocated to the operating budget.Based on the Town’s Capital Improvement Policy the Town’s objective is to contribute at least2.5% of the annual General Fund revenues allocated to the operating budget.

The proposed Capital Budget recommends funding above the policy limit in order to takeadvantage of a significant reduction in next year’s debt service payments. For FY 2014/2015there is a reduction of $591,002 in debt service payments. This reduction is anticipated to betemporary as we will soon be increasing the Town’s outstanding debt to finance the upgrade tothe Wastewater Treatment Facility. Since the reduction is expected to be short term, I amrecommending that we use these funds to increase the capital budget to fund improvementprojects of a non-recurring nature. In the following years, when the Town’s debt serviceincreases we will then be able to move these funds back to the debt service budget to helpmitigate the impact to the tax rate.

This Capital Budget will allow us to make significant headway to meet the Towns capitalimprovement needs especially in the areas of technology, green and energy initiatives, andinfrastructure/maintenance, I would also be remiss if I did not note the continued collaborativeeffort between the Town and Board of Education on Capital Projects in this Plan.

The Town’s Capital Improvement Policy and the Town’s Strategic Plan were the policyguidelines that were at the forefront when formulating the CIP while focusing the appropriationsinto three main funding themes. These themes are equipment/infrastructure/maintenanceimprovements, technology, and energy /green initiatives.

Equipment/Infrastructure/Maintenance Improvements SummaryLast year we made progress in this area but significant equipment, infrastructure andmaintenance improvements are still needed throughout town. This Capital Improvement Planproposes to fund more equipment, and infrastructure and maintenance improvement projectsincluding a bond appropriation for a school roof replacement project. Items include repair of the

S: .K4THYf3udget 2O142O1 5\Town Manager Budget’2014 Letter to Town Councildoc Page 4 of 9

Alice Clover Pinney gazebo, a new roof on the Highway Department salt shed, and to develop aplan for future fire station improvement projects.

This proposed Capital Improvement Plan continues to fund the Town’s road reconstruction andpaving plan and includes monies for a new turf field at the Farmington High School. Thisfunding is in conjunction with the Town submitting a STEAP grant application and the Friends ofFarmington Field fundraising efforts to cover the remaining cost of the turf field. The Friends ofFarmington Field organization has been instrumental in organizing this public/privatepartnership.

Each department has equipment replacement plans that are funded in the CIP. This plansupports replacement of equipment throughout town. This critical equipment keeps ourvolunteer firefighters safe when responding to calls for services. It allows our roads to beplowed during winter emergencies. It also keeps our parks and golf course looking clean andready for play during the warm weather months. Equipment replacement ensures the Town’sability to offer high quality services to our residents and businesses.

Technology SummaryIn the 21st century a Town’s technology infrastructure must also be maintained. It must keep upwith the rapidly changing world of technology as well as the expectations of residents andbusinesses. Technology improvements town wide, as well as specific to the Police and FireDepartment and the Town Clerk, are proposed in this Capital Improvement Plan.

In the Fire Department, the Capital Improvement Plan funds the completion of the lPad plan.The IPads have proven to be invaluable during emergency calls because of the immediateaccess they provide to building information, maps, and other critical information, It should benoted that the three volunteer fire companies each donated lPads to help get this plan startedlast year.

In the Town Hall a proposed capital project will convert the tax collection function and allassessment functions, except for the computer assisted mass appraisal system, to a newsoftware platform. The new platform would take these functions off of the old 1980’s ADMINSsystem and place them on a system specifically developed for these tasks. The Town ofFarmington has used the ADMINS system for over 30 years. A new software platform willstreamline workflow and allow for more time spent on collection of taxes instead of managinglabor intensive billing processes. It will allow for 24/7 inquiry through Internet access which willgive the public access to tax information whenever they wish, Overall, this project will automatea great deal of what is now a manual process thereby greatly increasing efficiency andaccuracy, and freeing up significantly more time to pursue the collection of revenues for theTown,

There is a’so money in the proposed budget to upgrade Network connections, The Town’s datanetwork between town buildings is currently connected by T1 lines. These connections transferdata, e-mail, and telephone service between buildings. The current connections need to beupgraded to a higher bandwidth connection for the amount of data/e-mail and voice traffic thatis currently being used. The capital investment will increase overall efficiency of town operationsand also reduce our telephone expenses in the operating budget.

Finally, I am pleased to propose a joint technology project with the Board of Education. Thisproposed project will provide funds to virtualize Town Hall servers and provide network storage.There is a corresponding project proposed within the Board of Education budget. This jointBoard and Town endeavor will provide a storage array with !arge amounts of storage that will beaccessible by servers for file storage and backups. The Board of Education has implementedthis type of solution for a majority of its servers. These corresponding projects will virtuaHzeS:KATHYBudget 2O142O1 5\Town Manager Budget’2014 Letter to Town Councilcioc Page 5 of 9

servers at the Farmington High School and Town Hall. The joint project will reduce the numberof physical servers at each location and provide backup storage at multiple locations. TheTown and Board of Education will be able to get the most energy savings and disaster recoverybenefits from this solution if this project is done as a cooperative effort.

Energy and Green Initiatives SummaryI am excited to include in the capital budget another joint Board of Education and Towninitiative. This is a proposed town wide exterior lighting project to be funded with CL&Pincentive money and a small green grant. The Town received $732,126 in incentive money lastyear as a result of the Ameresco performance contract. With this rebate the project wouldinclude exterior lighting upgrades to energy efficient units along with needed additional lightingat all seven school buildings and the Town Hall. This would be a phased project. Phase one inFY 14-15 would retrofit and/or replace existing outside lighting with energy efficient equipment.This phase would immediately reduce our electrical costs to run the exterior lights and saveupwards of $25,000 annually town wide. We would also be able to apply for additional incentivedollars for this project, thus further reducing the overall cost. Phase two in FY 15-16 would fundthe additional outside lighting that is needed and required to enhance security. It is quiteamazing that the Town and Board are able to fund a $725,000 Capital Project without using taxpayer dollars.

To conclude the energy and green initiatives summary, this proposed budget includesconverting boilers to gas in the Highway Department, Police Department, and Senior Center.Connecticut Natural Gas (CNG) recently extended gas lines on New Britain Avenue. I amrecommending that the Town convert to gas at these three facilities which will correlate tomeasurable savings in the utility accounts in those operating budgets.

These appropriations will allow us to make significant headway to meet the Town’s capitalimprovement needs.

Water Pollution Control Authority

The Water Pollution Control Authority will hold a public hearing on its budget on March 12, 2014at 7:00 p.m. The budget shows a 6% increase in the sewer usage rate.

Personal Property

The Personal Property (business machinery and equipment) grew by $146miHion doHars which is the first time in three years that there has been growth.Motor Vehicles grew by $4.4 million dollars or 2%.

REVENUES

I have broken down revenues into eight categories: other property taxes, licenses and permits,fines and penalties, interest, grants, service charges, other, and fund balance.In summary, projected non-tax revenues are $9,765,687 a 3,65% increase over the currentyear.

Some areas to note:

S:KATHYBudget 2014-2015Jown Manager Budget2014 Letter to Town Councitdoc Page of 9

• Licenses and Permits have increased 28.36% mainly attributed to increasedBuilding Permit Fees.

CONCLUSION

There are several key items assisted in my ability to recommend a budget that meets both theTown’s demands and its expectations. The Town’s debt seice is down 780% or $591,002.This is a significant reduction that allows for funding increases in other areas such as thecapital plan. Farmington is also experiencing nontax revenue growth of 3.65%. This increase isprimarily attributed to an increase in building permit fees, and the State PILOT grant.The recommended spending increases are below historic averages. The ten year average fortotal spending is 3.07%. The recommended FY 2014/2015 spending increase is 2.27%.

The increase in nontax revenue, the low spending increases, and significant reduction in debtservice payments are all important components of my recommended budget.

Laura maraj unionville, CT 2014-03-04 Its important for our town to have schools that are competitive with surroundingtown. Many already ave full day kindergarten, If the standards are high we

need to have time to teach the students the material they need to mastered

before 1st grade

kelly Peterson uniknville, CT 201 4-03-04 Children need to be prepared for first grade. There is too much to be taught

that there is not enough time in a half day program.

Kevin Zoeller West Hartford. CT 2014-03-04 I want my niece and nephews to start their academic careers on par with mosttowns in Connecticut.

Maria Sanchez Williams Farmington, CT 2014-03-04 Academic standards have risen and children are expected to meet the new

common core requirements for their grade level. The high level need to

succeed needs the allowed time for absorption which will reduce stress level

and any discouragement children may feel. We need to empower children

confidence that they are meeting or exceeding their academic goals. Full daykindergarten will allow all parties involved the adequate time for individualattention as well as peer support throughout the academic day.

Amy Rosenfield Farmington, CT 2014-03-04 I have always been in favor of half day kindergarten, however with theintroduction of the commen core. I am very concerned about the lack of time forplay and socialization. Play is the work of young children and I would be infavor of an all day program that added it back into the kindergarten day.

Jackie Martin Farmington, CT 2014-03-04 Great idea for working parents!

Alexis Carrier Farmington, CT 201 4-03-04 1 have a child currently in kindergarten and she feels like she is rushed

throughout the day to complete tasks, if there was full day kindergarten thestudents would have more time to focus on tasks rather than rushing throughthem.

Sarah Huelin Unionville, CT 201 4-03-04 pacing of curriculum; socialization experience, keeping current with neighboringtowns, increased expectations for mastery (CCSS and SBAC) require moretime for practice/repitition. kindergarten is the foundation year for a child’sentrance into formal schooling and should set the stage for a positive futureexperience in school

Yashodhara Bhor Unionville, CT 2014-03-04 Kids should not be rushed through the school day. Full day kindergarten willgive teachers more time with the kids and build a better foundation for therefuture years

Also the increased exoectations of mastery test requires more time fororactcereDettion

Jessica Rich Unionville, CT 2014-03-04 The kids have no time to be kids. Only to learn but the stress of timeconstraints makes struggle with learning under too much pressure. They needmore time!

Maureen Howley Farmington. CT 2010-03-04 i teach an all day Kinder, it is very benificiat for my students. My program is

academically challenging yet developmentally aporooriate because they havelots of play indoors and out and social interaction,

Vikas Bhor Unionville, CT 2014-03-04 There are proven studies of how important pre-school and Kindergardeneducation is in the development of young kids,

Ann Befroy Farmington. CT 2014-03-04 I think that investing in early education saves money and resources do.wn theli,ne. And, it better prepares students.


Rebecca Plona Farmington, CT 201 1-03-04 My younger daughter is currently in Farmington’s half day kindergarten, and is

struggling with stress and exhaustion from the pace of the day As a specialist

in children’s psychoeducational development, know that young children

require time to develop the skills necessary for success in school, both

academically and psychosocially Play is crucial to children’s executive skill

development, and due to the shortened day there is no time for this very

necessary activity I fear my daughter is underprepared for first grade as a

result.

Kimberlee Straceski Farmington, CT 2014-03-04 I work at a community college and see so many students unpreoared for

college level work. The preparation starts as early as pre-school. I d hate to see

Farmington, who is nationally known for the good reputation of our schools, fall

behind

Kathleen Binkowski Farmington, CT 2014-03-04 When I was a Superintendent, we instituted full day kindergarten. We saw a

significant improvement in student achievement and behavior

Jennifer Jackson Farmington, CT 2014-03-05 Numerous research finding support full-day kindergarten programs How many

support half-day programs?

Kathy Wotkner Farmington, CT 2014-03-05 Approximately 74°,

Michal Carducci Farmington, CT 201 4-03-05 I wish my son had this. He’s in 1st grade now at east farms and the 1/2 day

program wasn’t enough preparation.

Lucille Huelin East Haven, CT 201 4-03-05 My Grandchildren go to school in Farmington and it would be so much better if

they were in a class room earning thar n Day Care for halt day and class

room for half day.

Nichole Carrier Unionville, CT 2014-03-05 My children deserve the best education and full day kindergarten has proven

over and over to benefit children more than halfday programs.

Kristen Jakupco Farmington CT 2014 03-05 With the demands of Common Core it is just and right for teachers and

students to have full day Kindergarten
