 May 18, 2020 

To the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners: 

I am pleased to present the recommended budget for fiscal year (FY) 2020‐2021, which was prepared in accordance with The North Carolina Budget and Fiscal Control Act and provides funding that meets our statutory responsibilities and will advance New Hanover County’s strategic objectives.   

As we continue to recover and rebuild from Hurricane Florence in 2018 amid disruptions from Hurricane Dorian that followed a year later, we have in recent months devoted significant manpower and resources to prioritize the health and safety of the community in response to the unprecedented circumstances attributed to the COVID‐19 pandemic. It is through the ongoing fiscal responsibility of the Board of Commissioners that the county has been well positioned to deploy critical resources for all of these emergencies, from county‐wide emergency management and emergency shelters to public health response teams and recovery operations, just to name a few, and all supported through the extraordinary talent and dedication of county personnel. As we continue to actively manage and recover from these events, this recommended budget demonstrates a conservative fiscal position and prioritizes the preservation of existing county services and personnel given the current economic volatility and uncertain longer‐term economic impacts of COVID‐19 on our community.   

This recommended budget maintains existing levels of service, invests in our employees charged with delivering these services, provides long‐term funding for voter‐approved debt, sustains strategic initiatives, and maintains the existing tax rate to ensure our citizens are not further financially strained following the economic disruptions of COVID‐19.  

Specifically, I am recommending no change to the following revenue rates for the FY 2020‐2021 budget: 

County‐wide tax rate of 55.50 cents per $100 of assessed value; with 49.03 cents dedicated to funding operations and 6.47 cents of the rate dedicated to pay voter‐approved debt; 

Fire Service District tax rate of 7.75 cents per $100 of assessed value; 

Environmental Management tipping fee of $48 per ton. 

The FY 2020‐2021 recommended budget amounts are as follows: 

General Fund is proposed at $350.8 million, an increase of 0.25 percent from the FY 2019‐2020 adopted budget; included in the General Fund is debt service proposed at $62.4 million, an increase of 3.5 percent from the FY 2019‐2020 adopted budget; 

Environmental Management Enterprise Fund is proposed at $24.3 million, an increase of 5.3 percent from the FY 2019‐2020 adopted budget; 

Fire Service District Fund is proposed at $16.7 million, an increase of 3.8 percent from the FY 2019‐2020 adopted budget.

REVENUES 

This proposed spending plan is balanced at the current property tax rate of 55.5 cents per $100 of value, with 6.47 cents of this rate dedicated to the Debt Service Fund to pay for prior voter‐approved debt, and the remaining 49.03 cents funding general government operations.  With $1.2 billion added to the tax base over the past year, the estimated tax base for FY 2020‐2021 is $36 billion. This equates to an annual growth rate of 3.3 percent. 

It is anticipated that sales tax receipts will be impacted in the current year as a result of the COVID‐19 related economic impacts, but the true effects cannot yet be quantified given the three‐month lag between the collection and distribution of these receipts by the state. In the absence of sales tax distribution data for March through the current month, this spending plan assumes a conservative 4 percent sales tax growth rate compared to 10 percent actual growth for the prior fiscal year.  

Also included in this spending plan is $1.6 million in FEMA and state reimbursements from Hurricanes Florence and Dorian, which the county will receive during the 2020‐2021 fiscal year. These revenues will support capital outlay and other one‐time expenditures in the General Fund. The county has been approved for over $25.5 million in reimbursements to date from Hurricane Florence and works diligently with FEMA and state officials to maximize reimbursement of all remaining eligible expenditures.  This plan proposes using $4.6 million of fund balance in the General Fund, $500,000 in the Debt Service Fund, and $139,661 in the Reappraisal Reserve Fund. The fiscal responsibility shown by this Board of Commissioners, as well as prior boards, to retain a healthy fund balance has enabled the county to effectively support residents during the recent hurricanes and COVID‐19 pandemic. While the county was on target to bring the unassigned fund balance percentage for FY 2019‐2020 back within our fund balance policy range of 18 to 21 percent following Hurricane Florence, the economic disruptions of COVID‐19 will likely preclude the achievement of this objective. However, the conservative fiscal approach to the development of the FY 2020‐2021 budget will assist in maintaining our fund balance moving forward. 

 NEW HANOVER COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN 

The Board of Commissioners’ 2018‐2023 Strategic Plan is helping to guide the work of the county through five important strategic objectives: 

•  Superior Education and Workforce 

•  Superior Public Health and Safety 

• Intelligent Growth and Economic Development 

•  Strong Financial Performance 

•  Effective County Management   Superior Education and Workforce  

The county’s 2018‐2023 strategy identifies Superior Education and Workforce as a key component for achieving the county’s vision. As such, the county continues its longstanding support for public 

2

  

  

education through its funding partnerships with New Hanover County Public Schools and Cape Fear Community College.  

New Hanover County Public Schools  

I am recommending funding for public schools, inclusive of charter schools, in line with the current funding model of a fixed dollar contribution for current expense based on the Average Daily Membership (ADM) or student enrollment. This budget proposes maintaining the ADM rate at $2,913, demonstrating the county’s continued commitment to improving the quality of public education in New Hanover County. 

The total recommended direct funding for public schools is $81.9 million, a reduction of $3.1 million over FY 2019‐2020. This funding includes a current expense contribution of $80.3 million, which reflects lower projected student enrollment compared to the current year while maintaining the existing ADM rate of $2,913. Funding for capital is recommended at $1.6 million, a 56 percent reduction over current year funding and on par with adjustments to the county’s own capital budget due to COVID‐19 related fiscal impacts. While total direct funding to public schools has decreased 3.7 percent over the current year, the county’s investment per student continues to outpace student enrollment. In fact, total county funding for public schools has increased 3.5 percent on average over the previous ten years, while student enrollment growth has averaged only 1.1 percent over this same period.  

In addition to the direct funding for public schools, the county will spend $29.9 million in debt service for county school system debt obligations, and $487,422 is recommended to maintain three additional pre‐k classrooms. These classrooms provide structured learning environments for at‐risk three and four year olds to better prepare these children as they enter kindergarten. A three‐year pilot is concluding in the current fiscal year with strong results reported to date, and the county will continue to closely monitor the performance of this investment in pre‐k moving forward.  

The total recommended funding for public schools for FY 2020‐2021 is $112.3 million. As in previous fiscal years, the county’s funding commitment to public schools represents a significant portion of the overall budget, totaling roughly one‐third of the FY 2020‐2021 recommended spending plan for the county’s General Fund. 

In addition to these funding allocations, the county also continues to support public schools through county personnel that are dedicated to the schools. This includes 43 School Resource Officers and 40 school nurses who provide coverage at all public schools, as well as 16 school‐based therapists who provide coverage for 7 middle schools and 13 elementary schools. The county also provides $546,000 in funding for school landscaping and field repairs through our Parks and Gardens Department. 

Cape Fear Community College  

I am recommending $24.6 million in funding for Cape Fear Community College, which includes an operating contribution as well as funding for debt service. The community college did not request funding for capital for FY 2020‐2021, and, therefore, no funding is recommended for this purpose.  

In FY 2020‐2021, the county will pay $14 million in debt service on behalf of Cape Fear Community College. These payments are to service debt on $164 million in voter‐approved bonds for capital improvements for the community college. 

3

  

  

This budget also includes $10.6 million for operating expenses, which represents a 3.7 percent reduction in funding compared to the current fiscal year. This reduction is in line with the budget adjustments for public schools and is necessary due to the fiscal impacts of the COVID‐19 crisis.    Superior Public Health and Safety 

Superior Public Health and Safety remains a top priority for this community and an important part of the county’s 2018‐2023 strategy. Efforts to prevent and reduce opioid abuse, increase access to programs to prevent and reduce obesity, and sustain the community capacity to prepare for and respond to public safety demands are all funded in this budget. 

Following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Florence on our community, the county moved swiftly to assist citizens in accessing federal and state resources and, in the current fiscal year, the county has diligently pursued grant opportunities to strengthen the county’s resiliency to future events. Over the course of this fiscal year, the county has applied for and been awarded nearly $9 million in federal and state grant funds to undertake important recovery work in our community. This includes funding for rehabilitation and reconstruction of homes damaged during the hurricane; acquisition of flood‐prone properties, which will be returned to their natural state; and removal of debris and sedimentation from streams to improve water flow and reduce future flooding events. The implementation of these important recovery projects will continue into the 2020‐2021 fiscal year. 

I am also recommending funding to establish a pilot program for the Social Impact Fund, an initiative that was launched during the 2020 State of the County Address. Through this three‐year pilot, identified community partners will receive funding based on the demonstrated outcomes they achieve toward advancing the county’s strategy. As part of this pilot, the Child Development Center will be working to enhance kindergarten readiness among the children served by this organization. Step Up Wilmington is also participating in this initiative and will be supporting efforts to raise average wages in the county. Coastal Horizons’ RESET program is included in the pilot, as well, with a goal of reducing overall substance use amongst the clients they serve. All three of these programs are strongly aligned with the county strategy and are well positioned to move the needle on several key performance indicators for the county. 

Also included in the spending plan are the following health and public safety enhancements: 

• Five Social Worker positions in Health and Human Services to right‐size staffing to meet the county’s workload standards for Child Welfare and Child Protective Services, which will be complemented by continuous process improvement initiatives for these operations within Health and Human Services; 

• Funding for an automated dispatch system for the 911 call center, which will reduce call processing times and allow for quicker dispatch of emergency response units. 

Fire Services District 

I am recommending that the Fire Services District maintain a 7.75 cents tax rate per $100 of valuation.   

The spending plan for Fire Services includes a $50,000 contribution for a jointly funded traffic pre‐emption project that will allow emergency responders to navigate through traffic in a safer, more expeditious manner. Other funding partners for this project include the City of Wilmington, Wilmington 

4

  

  

Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) and New Hanover Regional Emergency Medical Services (EMS).   Intelligent Growth and Economic Development  

The county continues to emphasize Intelligent Growth and Economic Development as one of the three pillars of the county’s 2018‐2023 strategy. This component of the strategy aims to leverage public infrastructure to encourage private investment; increase the diversity and number of higher wage jobs; and encourage development of complete communities that offer access to jobs, shopping and an array of housing options.   

To further advance these objectives, I am recommending the following investments:  

$205,949 for Wilmington Business Development;   $42,250 for Wilmington Downtown, Inc.;   $131,457 for the Wilmington Regional Film Commission;  $70,000 for an incentive payment for National Gypsum; and  $150,000 for a multi‐purpose trail along Middle Sound Loop Road that will enhance walking and 

biking opportunities.   

Effective County Management 

The success of the organization and high standards for customer service are achieved through the commitment and passion of our public employees. These same employees have also steadfastly supported this community through several recent natural disasters and a public health emergency and have exhibited flexibility, nimbleness and innovation to effectively support our citizens during these unprecedented times. As such, I am recommending the following to continue investing in our human capital:  

Market adjustment equal to the greater of $696 or 1.3 percent of the salary for each full‐time employee to compensate for the daily increased costs of living; this market adjustment is based on the 12‐month average change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) through March of this year; 

An additional $1.7 million to fund the increased employer contribution for the Local Government Employees’ Retirement System; over the last five years the required employer contribution has increased from 7.25 percent to 10.21 percent, an aggressive growth rate that is anticipated to continue for the next several budget cycles; and 

Continued emphasis on county staff wellness through health incentives, education, clinic care, and fitness. 

I am also proposing the potential for a merit pool equal to 0.5 percent of the current salary base if sales tax performance exceeds projections by a minimum of 3 percent through the first quarter of FY 2020‐2021. While not included in the recommended budget, it is my intention to bring a budget amendment forward during the fiscal year for this purpose provided that sales tax distributions meet the stated threshold. 

I am also recommending a salary lag of $1.5 million in the General Fund to account for vacancies that will naturally occur during the fiscal year. This recommendation represents a substantial decrease in salary lag from prior year budgets due to diligent efforts to reduce turnover in specific departments of 

5

  

  

the enterprise, resulting in notably improved vacancy rates that are reflected in the FY 2020‐2021 salary lag budget.     Capital Planning 

I am recommending $17.1 million in capital and capital outlay expenses for FY 2020‐2021.  This plan leverages over $1.1 million in grant funds and borrows $3.8 million for the capital contribution to the New Hanover County public schools, replacement equipment for the county and certain stormwater projects. 

Capital Improvement Plan 

The spending plan includes $273,000 in county funding for capital projects in the General Fund. While several General Fund projects have been deferred in light of current economic conditions, the following projects are recommended to proceed in FY 2020‐2021 given the $1.1 million in external grant resources that have been committed to support these projects: 

Design and construction of a sidewalk extension on Market Street to connect two adjacent sidewalks at a total cost of $615,000, comprised of $492,000 in grant funding and a $123,000 county match; and 

Design and construction of a multi‐purpose connection trail path along Middle Sound Loop Road at a total cost of $750,000, comprised of $600,000 in grant funding that requires a $150,000 county match. 

 I am also recommending $9.6 million for the following capital projects within the Environmental Management Fund, which are necessary to ensure adequate capacity at the county landfill as well as to maintain environmental compliance requirements: 

Biological treatment system replacement ($300,000); 

Final phase of the landfill gas to energy system ($1,900,000);  

Landfill west side partial closure of cells 6D and 6E ($750,000); 

Stormwater control on the northern property ($90,000);  

Southern property closure design of cells 7 through 15 ($600,000); and 

Landfill final closure over vertical cells 2,3 and 6 ($6,000,000). 

Also included in the spending plan is funding of $300,000 in Fire Services for the purchase of land needed for a new fire station on Gordon Road. This part of the county has experienced significant growth in recent years, and the existing road network hinders response capabilities from the existing fire station locations. 

Capital Outlay 

The spending plan includes $2.9 million in capital outlay for the General Fund for FY 2020‐2021.  

Noted below are some of the major capital outlay items included in the spending plan for the General Fund:   

$1,626,240 as a capital outlay contribution for New Hanover County Schools; 

6

  

  

$556,300 for the routine replacement of IT equipment nearing end of life; and 

$472,503 for the fourth of five years to replace 800 MHz radios in the Sheriff’s Office. 

 Funding of $949,744 is recommended for capital outlay for Fire Services, including: 

$650,000 for a fire engine as part of the Fire Services capital replacement plan; 

$122,850 for the installation of fire hydrants on existing mains;  

$65,000 for a grant‐funded shower trailer for disaster operations; and 

$18,336 for the routine replacement of radios. 

I am recommending capital outlay totaling $1.5 million for Environmental Management, including the following: 

$1.4 million for various heavy equipment per the routine replacement schedule; and 

$25,000 for concrete pad to wash equipment.  

I am further recommending $508,185 in funding for Stormwater Services to support countywide drainage projects.   IN CLOSING 

This recommended budget appropriates taxpayer dollars to the board’s strategic priorities and maintains the general fund property tax rate at 55.5 cents per $100 of value. It is my opinion that this conservative spending plan ensures a sustainable approach to governance and is responsive to the unprecedented economic circumstances resulting from COVID‐19.  

While the responsibility falls upon me as county manager to recommend a balanced budget, as a governing board you would not be in position to consider a strategic and balanced budget for FY 2020‐2021 without the dedicated work from the County’s Executive Leadership Team, our department directors, the Finance Department, and all of the New Hanover County employees. 

I look forward to working with you toward the adoption of the FY 2020‐2021 Budget for New Hanover County.

POSITION CHANGES: FY20-21 increase due to the recommendation of five new positions. The five new recommended positions are in the General Fund and located in Human Services. During FY19-20, 11 new positions were added to the General Fund in Public Safety. In addition, 13 positions were approved in FY19-20 to coincide with the establishment of Stormwater Services in FY20-21. In FY19-20, Health and Human Services Administration was established as part of the consolidation process for the Departments of Health and Social Services. This resulted in the transfer of 11 positions from General Government to Human Services. Also as part of the consolidation, four positions were transferred from Human Services to General Government.  

BUDGET FUNCTIONS The County's General Fund budget is comprised of nine functions, which are named in the table below. All General Fund expenditures are classified into one of these nine functions.
