To the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners:

I am pleased to present the recommended budget for fiscal year (FY) 2021-2022, which was prepared in accordance with The North Carolina Budget and Fiscal Control Act and provides funding that 1) meets our statutory responsibilities, 2) supports existing county objectives, and 3) advances the priorities of the New Hanover County Strategic Plan.

As our efforts to recover and rebuild from multiple hurricane events were well underway, we found ourselves in uncharted territory with the COVID-19 pandemic and the awakening of racial and social injustice across the country and in our own community. We have navigated our way through these challenges with swift and intentional decision making that has joined together our community to ensure effective and equitable use of resources to address a community health crisis. We continue to devote significant resources to prioritize the safety, health, and security of our community.

New Hanover County supports and values diversity and equity. This recommended budget is guided by those beliefs. The Office of Diversity and Equity was established within the past year to build on our work to be a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization and community. The work already done by the department and team is evident across the organization and the community as a whole, and this budget asks us as an organization to go farther, to be better, and to be more equitable.

This recommended budget takes a rather conservative fiscal position and prioritizes the preservation of existing county services given the current economic volatility and uncertain longer-term economic impacts of COVID-19. This recommended budget maintains the fiscal responsibility and stewardship that enabled the county to meet the demands placed on it during the response and now early recovery from COVID-19.

The fiscal discipline shown by this Board of Commissioners, as well as prior boards, to establish a fund balance policy and work consistent with it enabled county staff to manage well over the past several fiscal years. The county’s unassigned fund balance percentage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, placed us within the 18-21 percent range of our fund balance policy and we anticipate maintaining that position or improving it at the close of FY 20-21.

The proposed spending plan addresses needs identified since the pandemic, enhances some service levels, provides long-term funding for voter-approved debt, invests in strategic initiatives, and maintains fiscally responsible operations. I propose to do this with a decrease in the tax rate (55.5 cents in FY 20-21) and no use of appropriated fund balance.

Specifically, I am recommending the following revenue rates for the FY 2021-2022 budget:

● County-wide tax rate of 47.50 cents per $100 of assessed value, with 42.70 cents dedicated to funding operations and 5.3 cents of the rate dedicated to paying prior voter-approved debt;

● Fire Service District tax rate of 7.25 cents per $100 of assessed value; and ● Environmental Management tipping fee of $48 per ton.

Page 8: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

Plans to delay implementation of the stormwater utility fee were related to preliminary details of the American Rescue Plan (ARP). Recent guidance does not allow for ARP funds to cover the debt component initially outlined in the framework. As a result, this budget recommends imposing an annual fee of $12 to cover these FY 2021-2022 expenses.

The FY 2021-2022 recommended budget amounts are as follows:

● Total spending plan is proposed at $457 million, an increase of 14.4 percent from the FY 2020-2021 adopted budget1;

● General Fund is proposed at $382 million, an increase of 9.1 percent from the FY 2020-2021 adopted budget;

● Debt Service Fund, a component of the General Fund, is proposed at $59.3 million, a decrease of 4.9 percent from the FY 2020-2021 adopted budget;

● Environmental Management Enterprise Fund is proposed at $24.9 million, an increase of 2.7 percent from the FY 2020-2021 adopted budget; and

● Fire Services District Fund is proposed at $18.3 million, an increase of 9.8 percent from the FY 2020-2021 adopted budget.

REVENUES

The general reappraisal of real property for New Hanover County occurs once every four years. State law requires that units of local government, including public authorities, publish a revenue-neutral tax rate in the budget immediately following the completion of the general reappraisal of real property. The purpose of the revenue-neutral tax rate is to provide citizens with comparative information.

The FY 2021-22 operating budget follows the general reappraisal of real property for New Hanover County. The revenue-neutral tax rate, as defined by G.S. 159- 11(e), is the rate that is estimated to produce revenue for the next fiscal year equal to the revenue for the current fiscal year if no reappraisal had occurred. The rate is then adjusted by a growth factor equal to the average annual percentage increase in the tax base due to improvements since the last general reappraisal.

As it relates to the General Fund, the reappraisal produced an estimated tax base of $47,916,072,500 for New Hanover County. The tax levy for the current fiscal year is $199,413,237, and the growth factor since the last general reappraisal is 2.12 percent. Using the formula mandated by state law, the revenue-neutral tax rate for New Hanover county is 42.50 cents. The proposed property tax rate for FY 2021-22 is 47.50 cents, which represents a decrease from the property tax rate of 55.50 cents for FY 2020-21.

As noted, this spending plan is balanced at the property tax rate of 47.50 cents per $100 of value, with 5.30 cents of this rate dedicated to the Debt Service Fund to pay for prior voter-approved debt, and the remaining 42.20 cents funding general government operations.

$11.9 billion added to the tax base over the past year equates to an annual growth rate of 33.4 percent. Similarly, sales tax receipts are projected to increase over the estimated year-end actual receipts to $85.4 million.

American Rescue Plan

The American Rescue Plan is not part of the FY 21-22 budget; however, it is important to note this funding source provides us with an opportunity to increase services across the community without a direct financial impact to residents and businesses. The Board adopted the draft framework during its April 5th board meeting, and the $45.4 million will go toward strengthening our community. That funding plan includes:

● extending broadband access to around 8,000 homes in marginalized households with children to increase connectivity to reliable high-speed internet;

● offering grants to our retail, service, leisure and hospitality, and childcare businesses and nonprofits, in addition to investing in job training and an apprenticeship program;

● providing mortgage and rental assistance to homeowners in arrears due to impacts from COVID-19 and renters who qualify under workforce housing guidelines;

● enhancing physical and mental health for infants, toddlers and children in schools by ensuring they have access to mental health counselors, nurses, health education - offering scholarships toward degrees or certifications in childhood mental health - and ensuring seniors have access to mental health counselors, meal distribution, safe and social interaction and transportation for necessities;

● easing the burden by charging a minimal stormwater utility fee for all users in the unincorporated county, but extending full service to these residents, in addition to investing in the cost to maintain and treat stormwater - reimbursing nonprofits that provided non-congregate sheltering during the pandemic and were denied of FEMA reimbursements- and replenishing the county’s PPE stock to ensure adequate supplies for any future needs;

● reimbursement of fiscal year 2019-20 sales tax revenue reflected as a loss against revenue received in 2018-19 to ensure the county remains on solid financial footing;

● recognition of county staff who have remained on the frontlines, continued important public services, and ensured residents received the help they needed at a time when it was critical, and working directly in the vaccine response to compensate them for their dedication, long hours and constant work in vaccinating our community and saving lives; and

● reserve funding for future needs as well as administration and reporting.

Additional items for ARP consideration, originally requested by staff to be considered in the FY 2021-2022 budget, include:

• One Grants Analyst to assist with increased managing and reporting of federal and state funding; • a Workforce Renter Assistance Pilot Program to expand eligibility to residents ineligible for other

workforce renter programs; • an Apprenticeship Program to grow the talent pipeline in our target sectors by investing in

Community College students; • One Health Educator to address core health promotion within the community regarding health

challenges and opportunities; • One School Health Nursing Supervisor to provide appropriate oversight for more manageable

teams of school nurses; • the reclassification of two School Health Team Leads to provide improved infrastructure, support

and supervision to our school nurse teams; • One Virtual Outreach Program Coordinator to extend services to the aging community, during the

pandemic and other circumstances that prevent them from visiting in-person; • continued Transportation services for older adults as a result of state Rural Operating Assistance

Program (ROAP) funding being eliminated; and • sustaining our Home Delivered Meals program by increasing opportunities for dedicated staff.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN

The Board of Commissioners’ 2018-2023 Strategic Plan guides the work of the county through five strategic focus areas, all supported by New Hanover County’s commitment to being the model of good governance:

• 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 strategy identifies Superior Education and Workforce as a cornerstone of achievement in the county’s vision. To that end, the county continues its longstanding support for public 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 expenses based on the Average Daily Membership (ADM). This budget proposes an ADM rate of $3,434, which is a $527 increase over the current year ADM adopted rate of $2,907.

The total recommended direct-funding for public schools is $91.9 million, which consists of a $9,000 average teacher supplement, an increase of $4,817 over the current average supplement of $4,183. The supplement increase takes the district from ranking 27th to #1 in the state, based on current fiscal year data. The current expense also includes the addition of four Teaching Fellow scholarships. The school budget represents a 14.8 percent increase in current expense funding. This increase equates to approximately 40 percent of the county’s total projected new revenue for FY 2021-2022.

In addition, this recommendation includes $3.7 million in restored funding for school capital, $25 million in debt service for county school system debt obligations, and $974,844 to increase the county funded Pre-K classrooms from three to six. These classrooms provide structured learning environments for three and four-year old students, with the overall goal of having students academically, socially, and emotionally ready to enter public, private or home-school kindergarten classes.

The total FY 2021-2022 recommended funding for public schools across all funding categories – current expense, capital, debt service and pre-k classrooms – is $121.5 million, an 8.31 percent increase over current year adopted funding. As in previous fiscal years, the county’s funding commitment to public schools represents a significant portion of the overall budget, totaling more than one-third of the FY 2021-2022 recommended spending plan for the county’s General Fund.

In addition to these funding allocations, the county continues to support public schools through county personnel that are dedicated to the schools. This includes 43 School Resource Officers and 40 school nurses

4

Page 11: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

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 $472,000 in funding for school landscaping and field repairs through our Parks and Gardens Department. An additional $166,200 is being recommended for teacher incentives for hard-to-staff schools to receive National Board Certification, a reading training program, and a Workforce Housing Gap Rental Assistance Program.

Cape Fear Community College

I am recommending funding for Cape Fear Community College totaling $22.5 million, which is inclusive of operating expenses as well as debt service. The community college did not request funding for capital for FY 2021-2022.

This coming fiscal year, the county will pay $11.5 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. This budget also includes $11 million for operating expenses, which meets the college’s request.

Superior Public Health and Safety

Superior Public Health and Safety remains a top priority and an important part of the county’s 2018-2023 strategy. This component of the strategy aims 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, many of which are funded in this budget. COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts required a coordinated public health and safety response in New Hanover County with our entire workforce responding to the community’s needs. The success of the response is thanks to all the people who worked tirelessly for days on end. Their efforts, combined with the training and planning for such an event, enabled the county to respond quickly to protect life and, subsequently, provide support for recovery and a path forward.

New Hanover County Health and Human Services’ Public Health has administered around 56,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in our community in less than five months, with around 100,000 people being fully vaccinated.

Our FY 2020-2021 budget included minimal enhancements, followed by a year of great need in the areas of both Public Health and Public Safety. This recommendation includes the authorization of three positions supported with ARP funding and provides many of the resources needed. I am recommending 21 additional positions and items that will sustain or improve our capacity for delivering services:

● One Environmental Health Program Specialist to ensure inspections of complex septic systems occur in a timely and sufficient manner;

● One Human Service Caseworker Supervisor (Quality Assurance) in Social Services (Economic Services) to ensure expected state and federal quality standards are met;

● Two Social Workers and one Community Services Assistant (Adult Services In-Home) and one Social Worker (Special Assistance In-home Care) in Social Services to meet the state case load standard and address the existing waiting list for home management and transportation for essential errands and appointments;

● One Administrative Specialist in Veteran Services to assist with the increasing demand of walk-in clients and limit wait times on-site;

5

Page 12: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

● Alarm Call Electronic Delivery to CAD in 911 Communications to reduce call processing times; ● One Network Administrator to address specialized technology needs for the public safety radio

systems in 911 Communications; ● Revision of the county’s Emergency Operations Plan to include addressing pandemic issues, ● POD Ready Meals for a more sustainable food source option in the event an emergency arises that

limits access to alternatives; ● One Deputy in the Sheriff’s Office (Support Services) to improve the overall experience with the

Animal Services Unit by establishing a proactive and engaged approach to customer service; ● One Forensic Chemist in the Sheriff’s Office (Forensic Lab) to meet accreditation guidelines and hire

a candidate capable of providing technical oversight to all disciplines within the lab; ● One Detective in the Sheriff’s Office (Violent Crime) to dedicate a resource to increasing violent

crimes investigations; ● One Evidence Technician in the Sheriff’s Office (Forensic Lab) to manage the workload stemming

from over 300 sworn deputies, currently resting on one employee; ● One Latino Victims Liaison/Advocate (Detective) to build trust and enhance communication

between the Sheriff’s Office and the Latino community; ● Two Administrative Support Technicians (Judicial) for the gun permit section to address the backlog

of pistol purchase permits and ensure compliance with state law; ● Five Deputies in the Sheriff’s Office (Judicial) to staff the new Juvenile Justice building, which is

more than double the size of the old building; and ● One Deputy, Corporal in the Sheriff’s Office (Judicial) to provide appropriate supervision over

operations and complete the work unit.

We are entering the second year of the pilot program for the Social Impact Fund. The pandemic presented some challenges that pushed community partners to get creative about continuing to provide much needed service to residents and reach their target goals.

The Child Development Center continues to work to enhance kindergarten readiness among the children served by this organization. Step Up Wilmington maintains an effort to raise average wages in the county. Coastal Horizons’ RESET program has a goal of reducing overall substance use amongst the clients they serve.

Each program has made significant strides and we are committed to working with them through the challenges we are all experiencing. During year one, the incentives were eliminated as a response to balancing the budget under the uncertainties that came along with COVID-19; this recommendation reinstates those incentive payments. 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.

Fire Services District

As it relates to the Fire Services District Fund, the reappraisal produced an estimated tax base of $18,358,500,000 for New Hanover County. The tax levy for the current fiscal year is $10,934,820, and the growth factor since the last general reappraisal is 2.65 percent. Using the formula mandated by state law, the revenue-neutral tax rate for New Hanover County is 6.11 cents. The proposed property tax rate for FY 2021-22 is 7.25 cents, which represents a decrease from the property tax rate of .50 cents for FY 2020-21.

Included in this recommended budget is a $124,500 allocation for a diversity program that focuses on ways to increase minority recruitment. In partnership with Cape Fear Community College, this program will

6

Page 13: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

consist of providing selected candidates with a stipend and continuing education through the firefighter certification program at the North Campus.

As part of the fire service capital replacement plan, a fire engine and vessel are scheduled to be replaced in FY 2021-2022. This budget includes loan proceeds to fund a total of $1.2M for both replacements.

Intelligent Growth and Economic Development

Intelligent Growth and Economic Development is 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.

In support of these objectives, I am recommending the following investments:

● $15,000 for a Student Generation Study to help the county identify when to expect growth and plan for the future;

● $181,000 for year one of a three-year plan to the Chamber of Commerce for business retention, expansion and recruitment;

● $208,600 for Wilmington Business Development; ● $75,000 for Wilmington Downtown Inc.; ● $133,692 for the Wilmington Regional Film Commission; ● $70,000 for an incentive payment for National Gypsum; and ● $25,000 for the Cucalorus Film Foundation.

Effective County Management

The success of the organization and the results delivered day in and day out are obtained through the good work, commitment, and passion of our public employees. It remains my belief that we should invest well and fairly into our human capital. As such, I am recommending the following:

● Market adjustment equal to the greater of $1,583 or 2.9 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;

● Merit pool of 1 percent for distribution with the first pay period in the second quarter of the fiscal year, based on prior fiscal year performance; and

● 401k employer contribution of 2.5 percent of the salary for each full-time employee through deferred compensation; and

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

This recommendation also provides funding for a pay and classification study scheduled to start in the third quarter of FY 2021-2022 for a FY 2023-2024 implementation. 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 aligns with diligent efforts to reduce turnover in specific departments of the enterprise, resulting in notably improved vacancy rates that are reflected in the FY 2021-2022 salary lag budget.

Page 14: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

Capital Planning

I am recommending $17 million in General Fund capital and capital outlay expenses for FY 2021-2022. This plan takes advantage of the county’s best-in-class bond ratings and market conditions and borrows the full amount for the capital contribution to the school district, major maintenance and repairs, specialized equipment, and all vehicles.

Capital Improvement Plan

For FY 2021-2022 I am recommending a $12.4 million capital improvement plan (CIP). Included in the CIP as part of the General Fund are the following projects:

● Northern Regional Park Phase 2 Design at a cost of $170,000; ● Ogden Park Maintenance Facility Expansion at a cost of 23,000; ● Multi-use trail at Northern Regional Park at a cost of $450,000; ● Smith Creek Park Phase 2 Design at a cost of $170,000; ● Hanover Pines Nature Park at a cost of $2,335,000; ● Ogden Park Bike Lane Connector at a cost of $25,000; ● South College Rd. Trail Design at a cost of $570,000; ● North College Rd. Trail Design at a cost of $570,000; ● Emergency Logistics Center at a cost of $7,447,240; ● Shelter Supply Storage Buildings at a cost of $423,800; ● Incinerator with Shelter at a cost of $135,374; and ● Facility Replacement for Sheriff’s Detectives at a cost of $150,000.

The following is associated with capital projects within the Fire Services District Fund:

● Gordon Road Station Land Acquisition and Design at a cost of $835,000; The following are associated with capital projects within the Environmental Management Fund:

● New Landfill Entrance and Customer Convenience Site at a cost of $2,800,000; ● Southern property closure design cells 7-15 at a cost of $300,000; ● Southern property construction cells 11 and 12A at a cost of $4,650,000; and ● Partial cell closure cells 7 and 8A at a cost of $2,950,122.

Capital Outlay

A total of $5.2 million of capital outlay is recommended in the General Fund for FY 2021-2022. Noted below are some of the major capital outlay items or categories recommended for funding in the General Fund budget:

● $763,480 for the routine replacement of IT equipment; ● $645,000 for building equipment replacements; ● $280,000 for communications tower equipment shelter; ● $1.6 million for replacement of 55 vehicles – 47 of these vehicles are for the Sheriff’s Office, while

the other 8 are for various other departments; and ● $472,503 for the routine replacement of radios in the Sheriff’s Office.

Page 15: RECOMMENDED BUDGET - Finance

IN CLOSING

This recommended budget appropriates taxpayer dollars to the board’s strategic priorities and reduces the General Fund property tax rate to 47.50 cents per $100 of value. It is my opinion that this plan and the associated rates ensure a sustainable approach to governance and provide for future county budget needs, assuming similar trends in revenues and expenses.

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 2021-2022 without the dedicated work from the county’s Executive Leadership Team, our department directors, the Finance Department, and all New Hanover County employees.

I look forward to working with you toward the adoption of the FY 2021-2022 Budget for New Hanover County. Sincerely,

Chris Coudriet County Manager
