6. Format Business:
A. Approval of the FY 2017 Budget.
Sponsors: Fennel
Listed are some of the more prominent items contained within the FY 2017 Budget:
❑ The proposed budget for FY 2017 has been balanced for each individual fund with
transfers to or from cash reserves. The transfer amounts are shown on the schedule
titled "BudgetSummary by Fund" found on page 10.
❑ The General Fund is balanced without a transfer tollrom cash reserves. The
contingency budget is recommended at $657K for FY 2017. This includes
approximately $270K for an employee merit increase for Mayor & Council
City of Smyrna Page 2 Printed on 6/6/2016
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 16, 2016
consideration in January 2017. The contingency is a decrease from the $1.15M
budgeted in FY 2016, but the larger contingency
also included $435K for a one-time salary table adjustment and cost of living
adjustment.
❑ The E-911 Fund includes a transfer of $208K from the General Fund. This transfer,
along with the state -mandated E-911 fees collected from phone companies, provides
sufficient revenues to cover operating expenditures.
❑ The HoteUMotel Fund will transfer $525K to the General Fund and $42K to
reserves. The Auto Rental Tax Fund includes anticipated revenues of $125K which
are transferred for use to the HoteUMotel Fund.
❑ The other Special Revenue Funds including CDBG, Confiscated Assets, Donations
& Special Fees, and Multiple Grant Fund are budgeted based on available cash.
0 The Capital Project Fund will be funded by a transfer from the General Fund. The
General Fund will transfer $1.12M to fund 21 projects in FY 2017.
❑ The Water/Sewer Fund is balanced with a transfer of $865K from cash reserves.
Consistent with prior years, it includes a $1,591,127 transfer to the General Fund.
REVENUE PROJECTIONS
❑ General Fund revenues are projected to be up $2.3M over the prior year. This
increase is mainly driven by the Cobb County Tax Assessors re -valuation of
residential property.
Although the city's millage rate will remain level at 8.99 mills, the net tax digest will
rise by 7% due to higher valuations and new development. In most cases, residents
with the Smyrna Floating Homestead Exemption will not see an increase.
❑ Municipal Court revenues decreased 35% from FY 2014 to FY 2015. Collections in
FY 2016 have continued this downward trend. In addition, the state has eliminated
the ability of local governments to charge a fine for failure to appear in court. As a
result, this budget projects total Court revenues of 1,059,000 (a 19% decrease from
the $1.3M budgeted in FY 2016).
❑ Revenues in the Hotel/Motel Fund are projected to increase 19% for FY 2017.
These revenues are based on an agreement with the Cobb -Marietta Coliseum and
Exhibit Hall
Authority to impose a tax on each room night occupied in Smyrna hotels and motels
and to return a portion to the municipality. The rate is set by City ordinance, and
increased
revenues are expected due to continuing growth in the tourism and hospitality
industry.
Other special revenue fund revenues have been based on available cash and
anticipated reimbursement from outside sources.
❑ Revenues from E-911 fees are projected to remain consistent with the prior year.
However, overall revenues for the E-911 Fund will be up 3.2% as the transfer -in from
the General Fund has been increased to $208K (up from $179K in FY16 revised
budget).
❑ The Water/Sewer Fund is projected to have a $514K increase (2.9%) in revenues.
This takes into account the automatic pass-through of the Cobb -Marietta Water
Authority's 4% annual increase, which is scheduled through 2018.
EXPENDITURES -
11 General Fund expenditures have been increased by 5.5% in the FY 2017 budget.
The largest portion of this increase is related to increases in group insurance. Other
significant budgeted expenditures include new personnel requests, a larger transfer
to the Vehicle Replacement Fund, new infrastructure costs, and higher water/sewer
charges. See the "Other Highlights" section of this memo for other planned
expenditures.
❑ Water/Sewer Fund expenditures have been increased by 7.5% in the FY 2017
budget. Increases are due primarily to higher group insurance costs, a larger transfer
City of Smyrna Page 3 Printed on 8/8/2018
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 16, 2016
to the
Water/Sewer Capital Projects Fund, and higher water/sewer wholesale costs.
PERSONNEL
D In FY 2017, the full-time employee salary line items for Public Safety, Sanitation,
and Water Distribution have been budgeted at 97916 to account for turnover in these
departments.
Highways & Streets is budgeted at 98%. Current year actuals are in line with these
budget projections.
❑ New personnel requests totaling $1.4M in annual cost were received from the
departments. These included 26 new full-time positions and one part-time position.
During the budget process, 17 full-time positions and one parttime position were cut.
The remaining nine positions were funded at three quarters of a fiscal year for a total
budgeted impact of$406K.
❑ Additionally, five reclassification requests are being recommended. A new Parks
Maintenance division will be supported in part by two reclassified positions: the
Streets
Foreman will become the Parks Supervisor, and a Crew Leader will become the
Parks Foreman. Police Administration will reclassify one Police Officer to Police
Sergeant. An
unfilled Police Officer position will be reclassified to a Central Records Assistant. All
Police Captain positions will be changed to Police Major.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
❑ The Capital Project Fund is funded by a transfer -in from the General Fund. Of the
$1.4M in requests submitted for funding in FY 2017, the CIP Committee is
recommending approval of 21 capital projects totaling $1.12M.
❑ The Water/Sewer Capital Projects Fund includes $6.74M for infrastructure
projects. It will be funded by a transfer -in from the Water/Sewer Fund and use of
reserves.
❑ The Storm Water Fund includes $910K for infrastructure projects. The revenue for
this fund is a storm water fee based on impervious surface. Revenues are projected
at $936K, so this fund is expected to contribute $26K to cash reserves.
❑ The Vehicle Replacement fund includes expenditures of $949K. These capital
expenditures are funded by transfers -in from the General Fund and Water/Sewer
Fund.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
❑ A new Parks Maintenance division is proposed to be organized under the
supervision of the Director of Parks & Recreation. This will involve the reassignment
of six full-time positions and one part-time position from the Highways & Streets
division. The addition of two new positions has also been recommended. The
organizational structure will include a supervisor, foreman, two crew leaders, and four
crew workers. A part-time crew worker will allow flexibility for weekend staffing.
❑ Every ten years, the City is required to complete a full update of its 20 -Year
Comprehensive Plan. Mayor & Council must adopt the updated plan by August 2016,
and it will be submitted to the Atlanta Regional Commission for review. This $125K
expenditure has been budgeted under the Community Development department.
❑ Two studies have been budgeted to help understand and address the impacts of
the new Atlanta Braves development adjacent to City limits. $25K has been budgeted
in the CIP to fund the 20% portion of an 80/20 Livable Centers Initiative grant from
the Atlanta Regional Commission. The funds will pay for an analysis of the land use,
transportation, and urban design issues along the Spring Road corridor. Additionally,
this budget proposes a $70K expenditure under the Community Development
department for a market study/analysis of the Braves halo effect. The study will be
conducted by Georgia Tech and will help determine what type of development the
area might attract and/or feasibly support. This study will inform the department's
City of Smyrna Page 4 Printed on 61612016
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 16, 2016
plans for an overlay district to be established in FY 2017.
❑ $50K has again been budgeted in the Hotel/Motel Fund to accommodate a
management transition at the Smyrna Museum. The city -owned property has been
staffed by volunteers from the Smyrna Historical & Genealogical Society since the
museums opening in 1999. The pending retirement of key volunteers necessitates
this planned expenditure.
❑ In FY 2016, the City entered into an agreement with Zagster to provide 20 bicycles
and install four stations as part of a new bike share program. After a successful first
year, the City is committing to a fifth station in FY 2017. The annual maintenance
contract for five stations will be approximately $31K.
❑ In March 2015, the Mayor & Council voted to acquire the historic Reed House at
3080 Atlanta Road. A combination of CDBG and 2016 SPLOST funds will allow the
city to renovate the structure and make it accessible for public use beginning spring
2017. The budget contains the expected $1.2M in renovation funding.
The Public Hearing was called and two individuals came forward to speak.
They both made statements and had specific questions about the budget and were
referred to Wednesdays second public hearing which was more of an informal
presentation and quesiton and answer period.
The FY2017 Budget was presented by Jared Sigmon and Kristin Robinson. The
public hearing was announced and 2 citizens came forward to make comments and
suggestions. The public hearing was concluded with an announcement that there will
be another opportunity for the public to ask questions about the budget on
