their ad valoremPagePage pageNumber8845 June 7 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued taxes to the County after the grant , hence their initial payment of only half the taxes He asked the Board to consider

of taxes Mr Perkins assured the Board that Marathon now has a clear understanding of the program and going forward they will pay their annual ad valorem taxes on time Commissioner Mims commented that

The Chairman opened the public hearing , and stated the purpose of the hearing is to allow public comment on the proposed FY 2010 - 2011 County budget The proposed budget and budget message have been completed and copies are available for distribution County Manager Rick Hester requested the budget message be inserted into the minutes , as follows Johnston County Fiscal Year 2010 – 2011 Budget Message Dear Board Members The Fiscal Year 2010 – 2011 1617 million general fund budget is proposed with a 78 cents 100 valuation tax rate , with no reserves budgeted This would represent the eighth consecutive fiscal year with a 78 cent tax rate Considering Johnston County is one of the top 100 fastest - growing counties in the United States and the amount of debt the County has incurred over the past 10 years , this is an accomplishment to be proud of The proposed FY 10 - 11 budget is presented at 10 million less than the current FY 09 - 10 budget of 1717PagePage pageNumber9846 June 7 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued million , and 187 million dollars less than the FY 08 - 09 budget of 1804 million Taking into consideration that our debt service , along with State mandates , has increased expenditures during that time FY 08 - 09 to proposed FY 10 - 11 by approximately 4 million , the County has actually decreased the budget by 227 million since FY 08 - 09 County government operations have absorbed the majority of those budgeted reductions Based on current data , if the Board adopts the FY 10 - 11 budget as presented , the projected fund balance on June 30 , 2011 would be likely be approximately 13 of total operating costs Preparation of the proposed FY 10 - 11 budget has been the most challenging budget in my 11 years as County Manager I would like to thank the department heads and their respective staffs for their invaluable assistance during this difficult process A special thank you goes to Chad McLamb , Martha Lasater and Tyson Radford from the Finance Office Paula Woodard and Melissa Daughtry were also instrumental is preparing the final budget document Overall , revenues are flat for the upcoming fiscal year Growth in the ad valorem tax base has traditionally grown by 55 over the past 10 years Last year’s growth in the tax base was approximately 3 Staff expects the tax base growth for this proposed budget to be 2 One reason for the decline in growth is the downturn in the new single family housing market ; however , we are beginning to see a slight increase in that market While residential construction has slowed , we have been fortunate to have continued growth in the commercial and industrial sectors , and we expect that to continue Sales tax revenues continue to be flat Based on staff’s research , we do expect sales tax to improve slightly next fiscal year The Medicaid swap legislation is now complete ; therefore , counties now have no responsibility for the Medicaid match , but we must remember that we have lost one of the ¼ cent sales tax revenues The Board of Commissioners adopted the Financial Policy Guidelines in October 2007 that states the County will maintain an available fund balance at the close of each fiscal year of at least 15 of the total annual operating budget We expect to close FY 09 - 10 in the 12 - 13 range The Board and staff must implement a plan to replenish the reserves With that said , I am proud of the fact that we just recently refunded refinanced some of the existing bonds as well as maintained our strong financial bond rating The County is only one step away from being a AAA - rated county with Standard and Poors , which is our ultimate goal Johnston County Schools and Johnston Community College both do a wonderful job of educating our community State and Federal funding reductions have impacted those agencies The County’s appropriations in this proposed budget also represent reductions from what they received in the current fiscal year School systems do not fall under the same scrutiny from the North Carolina Local Government Commission and the bond rating agencies in terms of maintaining a minimum amount of reserves savings account Therefore , it is hoped that Johnston County Schools will use any available reserves they have to assist with their budgeting needs The appropriation in this proposed budget for Johnston County Schools is 496 million , and 35 million for Johnston Community College Rate Increases The only proposed rate increases are in the enterprise fund Staff recommends increasing the landfill tipping fee for asbestos waste from 27 per ton to 45 per ton including State surcharge The additional revenue is needed to cover the actual cost of disposal which includes isolated location burial , location surveys , and special record keeping required by State rules The second charge recommended is an ineligible illegal tire disposal fee of 65 per ton The fee would apply to any tires received which are not eligible for disposal cost reimbursement by the State The fee is essentially equal to that charged by our tire recycling disposal contractor Thirdly , staff recommends establishing a charge of 8 per pickup size load for non - commercial yard wastes This will eliminate returning vehicles to the scales to determine weight , which will expedite processing small loads of yard waste Finally , staff recommends increasing the minimum scale tipping fee from 3 to 5 for solid waste , construction and demolition debris , yard waste , clean wood waste , and septage haulers Additional Personnel Staff is requesting a current part time position to be converted to full time status in the Solid Waste Division of Public Utilities non general fund The convenience site truck hauling has increased 37 over last year Staff believes the increase is due to mandatory plastics recycling imposed by the State Staff requests to change this part time truck driver position from 34 hours per week to full time status Page0847 June 7 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued Two additional school resource officers will be needed for the new Corinth Holders and Cleveland High Schools These positions are paid for by the local school system Personnel In conclusion , I would like to thank the many county employees that provide services to the fine citizens of this County Even though there are no salary adjustments proposed for the FY 10 - 11 budget for the second consecutive year , hopefully , in the near future , the Board will be in position to address pay adjustments There is no doubt in my mind that we have the best employees of any county in North Carolina Thank you Sincerely , Rick J Hester County Manager Additional Comments Johnston County Industries John Shallcross , President of the Board of Directors for Johnston County Industries ,

, Jr Ms Shore stated JCI’s total annual operating budget is approximately 45 million At the inquiry of Commissioner Cookie Pope , Ms Shore stated JCI still owns the building located on Hwy 301 in Smithfield , but they are trying to sell it Linda Hood , JCI Board Member , stated that even though they are asking for continued financial assistance from the County , they are actively trying to raise funds to support themselves through barbeque plate sales and other activities She invited the Commissioners to visit the facility and see how much it means to the people at JCI to have the opportunity to go there each day Susan Jenkins , JCI Board Member , also spoke on what it means for those who work at JCI to have jobs and she asked the Board to continue their support She stated JCI is a safe place for those that have disabilities to be able to go and work Chairman Stewart spoke on how all the Commissioners realize and appreciate the important service that JCI provides for the
