February 17, 2012

To: Board of County Commissioners

From: Rosemary Padgett, CFO/Budget Officer

Re: Internal Service Funds— Budget FY 2012- 2013r

Indirect costs that are considered centralized services of the Ciunty have been established in the budget asInternal Service Funds ( ISF). The cost is allocated for all operational Funds on a percent of budget based ontheir personal services and materials and services categories. The expenditure is shown as a transfer under

the category " Transfers" at the Fund level and as a revenue source under" Resources" in the ISF Fund. Eachfiscal year the Board of Commissioners determines the percentage to be charged. Once approved in thebudget, the charge is set for the fiscal year.

The County approved an increase from 8. 5% to 9. 25% for FY 2011- 12. As operational budgets continue todecline, the percentage would increase, even if ISF budgets remain the same year after year. 9.25% of budgetfor FY 2011- 12 would now require 10. 45% to generate the same revenue for FY 2012- 13. With the addedloss of Public Safety funding, ISF is looking at a 23% decrease in revenues or approximately $ 900,000.

I am requesting an increase of the ISF rate from 9. 25% to 10%. This will generate approximately $ 195, 000.

Other reductions in ISF departments will still need to be made to balance the budget. Once the rate is set, itwill be built into each Fund based on their budgeted operational expenditures. The Board will then do a finalreview of the ISF budgets to insure that revenues cover expenditures.

Attached are individual break downs of the Departments utilizing internal services and the proposedallocation cost to each operating Fund based on that percentage level. It also includes the individualDepartment insurance savings showing the " net" cost for each Department.

Recommendation: Approve ISF rate of 10% for FY 2012- 13.

Progress Reports and Project Change Request Process

Agreement No. 28215

Key Number: 17170

Project Name: Grave Creek Covered Bridge Preservation (#141005)

1. Project Description ---The existing bottom tension chords of the truss consist of athree- leaf timber system. A February 2010 bridge inspection identified breaks in twoof the three leafs, eliminating the redundancy of the three- leaf system and makingthe structure more susceptible to collapse in an overload situation. The inspection

also noted the accumulation of moisture retaining debris on the top of the bottomtension chords due to the close fit of the siding against the outside face of the chord,retaining debris that hasten decay rather than allowing debris to fall away. Theproposed work addresses the structural deficiency of the bottom tension chord andthe retention of moisture retaining debris, and preserves the historic appearance ofthe structure. The proposed work consists of the following:

Install a post-tensioning system at both bottom truss chords to providesupplemental and redundant tension capacity at the bottom chords. The post-tensioning system will be concealed within the housing siding and will not changethe visual appearance of the bridge.

Remove, replace and repaint existing siding to access the work and restore theappearance of the bridge. Contain and dispose of siding contaminated with leadpaint.

Modify the lower siding connection to provide an open space between thesiding and the truss chord to reduce the accumulation of debris.

Provide temporary traffic control to accommodate the work.

Repair/ replace cedar roofing.

2. This Project is subject to progress reporting and project change process as stated inparagraphs No. 3 through No. 5 below.

3. Monthly Progress Reports ( MPR) - Agency shall submit monthly progress reportsusing MPR Form 734-2862, attached by reference and made a part of thisAgreement. The Monthly Progress Report is due by the

5th

day of each month,starting the first month after execution of this Agreement, and continuing through thefirst month after State issues Project Acceptance ( Second Note) for the Project's

construction contract.
