Within the 2020 Contract Communities budget, costs can be <br />attributed to (1) Ramsey County changes and (2) investments made in the cities and township of the <br />seven Contract Communities. <br /> <br />Ramsey County Changes <br />When Ramsey County elected offices and departments prepare a budget, the Finance Department <br />provides a series of instructions and informs the amounts to budget for personnel costs. These are at <br />the direction of the County Board, County Manager, or Finance Department as well as federal and state <br />guidelines. For 2020, these included: global merit and cost of living adjustments (3.5%), Social Security, <br />Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), deferred compensation ($420 per year), retirement <br />contributions (7.5% for coordinated and 17.7% for police and fire), health and dental insurance (16.5%), <br />life insurance, long-term disability, and health care savings plan. In addition, the county adds a payroll <br />surcharge for severance pay and to fund other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability (5%). <br /> <br />The County Board also approved a three year labor agreement with the Deputy Sheriffs (Law <br />Enforcement Labor Services Local 322) in 2019 for a period from 2018 through 2020. The agreement <br />included a ten cent base pay increase plus a 2% increase effective each January and a 1% increase <br />effective each July. These costs are also included in Contract Communities budget. <br /> <br />In addition, the county also requires elected offices and departments to budget and pay for internal <br />services. These include: <br /> <br />• Property management and rent at the Patrol Station, which comprises building maintenance and <br />utilities. Contract Communities pays a percentage (64.58%) of this through administrative <br />overhead. <br /> <br />• Workers compensation premiums estimate. This is determined by the county and arrived at by a <br />50/50 formula using payroll data adjusted for risk factor plus five year incurred loss history.
