Contracted services - 9% of expenditures, overall costs up 3.05% <br />Property and liability insurance costs - 4% of expenditures, rates up 5.22% <br />Pass through costs - 5% of expenditures, costs up 4.39% <br />Remaining budget line items combined - 9% of expenditures, net costs up 0.34% <br />*2016 General Fund Budget for Expenditures is $6,921,304 <br />Impact of a reduction in liquor profits available for transfer was phased in <br />through the use of one time fees and fund balance, mitigating the general fund <br />impact by 2.78% <br />*2016 General Fund Budget for Revenues is $6,936,342 <br />The HRA budget and Levy contains cost drivers similar to the general fund. Conversely this <br />fund does not have the same resources and transfers available in order to offset cost drivers. <br />Therefore the proposed Levy increase for the HRA is 5.56% or $7,388. <br />The 2016 Debt Related Levies are proposed to increase by a combined 1.87% increase over the <br />2015 combined levies. The $43,537 increase represents a 0.75% increase to the Overall Levy. A <br />debt levy reduction program (Peak to Plateau) began in 2014 to stabilize the annual increase in <br />levies created the annual street reconstruction plan. Without the use of resources committed <br />to this program the impact of 2015 street bonds issued along with existing debt service <br />requirements would have required a 5.05% increase in the Overall Levy. <br />The 2016 Capital Funds Levies are proposed to increase by a combined $103,990. This increase <br />is part of the phase–in plan to recognize that liquor transfers are estimated to be $146,395 less <br />than 2015. The phase-in approach uses of one time fees and fund balance. The impact of the <br />Capital levies increase is eased by phase–in approach used within the General Fund Levy. <br />The components of the 2016 proposed Overall Levy are as follows: <br /> Amount Increase/(Decrease) <br />General Fund $3,385,370 $ 64,160 <br />CIP $ 80,990 $ 30,990 <br />Road Improvement Debt $1,828,848 $ 37,123 <br />Lease Revenue Bonds $ 387,322 $ 4,450 <br />HRA Levy $ 140,170 $ 7,388 <br />Tax Abatement $ 155,112 $ 1,964 <br /> Building Improvement $ 73,000 $ 73,000 <br />$6,050,812 $219,075 <br />4
