COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT & PRESENTATION OF THE FY 2001-02
IREDELL COUNTY BUDGET: Mr. Mashburn distributed a written manager's report.
FY 01-02 Budget Highlights. Mashburn said the budget was balanced; however, it used
$1,777,877 of fund balance. He said this left a percentage of 10.4% in the unappropriated fund
balance. He also said the budget was balanced using the reimbursements the county normally would
be receiving from the state. Mashburn said that if the funds did not materialize, the county would
have to review a property tax increase of over three cents. He said the county's share of the schools'
operating expenses totaled almost $26 million or about 54% of the property taxes collected. Mr.
Mashburn said that for school appropriations, the recommended budget proposed to spend
$1,330,340, or 2.5 % less than what was requested. He said, however, the school appropriation was
still a nine percent increase over FY 00-01. Mashburn said the major unfunded mandate was for
Medicaid. He said Medicaid costs were estimated to increase by $600,000. Mr. Mashburn said 14.5
new employee positions were being recommended. He said the proposed budget recommended a
three percent across-the-board increase; however, he was recommending the suspension of the merit
i increases for one year. Mashburn said he was recommending a FY 01-02 general fund budget of
$99,971,000 and a solid waste enterprise budget of $5,733,755. lie said the budget recommended
an increase in solid waste fees. Mr. Mashburn said the regular household disposal fee would
increase by $2 and the fee for the elderly would increase by $1. He said the budget was based on
a tax base of $10,653,773,846, a tax rate of $.47, and a tax collection rate of 96.35%. Mashbum said
he was recommending that $2,500,000 remain in the capital reserve fund. He said this amount
would allow the county to begin work on the DSS expansion and to accrue funds for the library
construction that should begin in 2003.
