AUTHORIZATION FOR ADVERTISEMENT OF TAX RATES FOR THE FY99
BUDGET PROCESS
Ms. Dickson stated that this item requests approval to advertise
tax rates and other ordinance changes, the FY99-2003 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), and the proposed FY99 Biennial
Financial Plan. She further stated that the item also requests
that a public hearing be scheduled for March 25, 1998 to consider
these items. She noted that a public hearing on the Community
Development Block Grant Program will also be set for March 25,
1998.
Mr. Daniel stated that for several years he supported the current
tax rates in which estimates suggested there might be some surplus
from those adopted rates and in which the Board was able to find
reasonable ways to spend that surplus. He further stated that he
101 2/25/98
felt very strongly last year that the County could sustain a $1.08
tax rate. He stated that there is ample revenue remaining from
last year to support this tax decrease. He stated that he
supports advertising of $1.08 and proceed with the process
following the advertising. He further stated that he has received
a lot of phone calls from constituents regarding increased
assessments. He stated that a decrease of one cent does not even
begin to significantly impact the County's total revenue. He
further stated that he will support the $1.08 or will abstain from
the $1.09.
Mr. McHale stated that last year when the Budget and Audit
Committee recommended advertising the $1.08, there was very strong
indication that there would be a surplus and the County could
prudently lower the tax rate. He further stated that in execution
of the Budget, concurrence was not received by the entire Board
for the $1.08 tax rate. He stated that there has been excellent
fiscal management by County staff and that he feels when
Qpportunities arise such as this and surplus is available, the
County should prudently bring down the tax rate. He further
stated that he feels that some of the surplus should be given back
to the shareholders of the County and to continue to reward staff
for their ingenuity. He stated that he feels the County can
achieve the $1.08 tax rate and it has proven it has a prudent
financial policy in place.
There was brief discussion relative to potential General Assembly
actions and impacts as it relates to the tax rate decrease.
Mr. Warren stated that he is satisfied with Mr. McHale's remarks
as it relates to advertising at a $1.08.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels it is prudent to advertise at
$1.09 tax rate and then hold the public hearing. He further
stated that he feels advertising at a $1.08 is cutting the County
short as it does not know the end results of General Assembly
actions. He expressed concerns relative to adjusting the
percentage of revenue that goes to the School System if the $1.08
tax rate is adopted. He also expressed concerns relative to the
impact on public safety if the tax rate is reduced. He further
stated that he hopes the Board will advertise a $1.09 tax rate and
then allow public comment regarding the issue. He expressed
concerns relative to reducing the largest source of County revenue
and stated that he feels the County should not be offering or
suggesting new services and at the same time reducing the tax
rate.
Mr. Daniel stated that the Board of Supervisors has never made
decisions that put the County in financial .jeopardy. He further
stated that the Board is not returning anything out of this year's
Budget, but is returning the good fortune of the surplus from last
year's underestimate of total revenue, so that can be applied
against the property tax rate, which is the most general tax that
is paid in this County.
Mr. Daniel then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the
Board to authorize the advertisement of tax rates and other
ordinances, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and the FY98
Budget for the FY99 budget process.
102 2/25/98
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that anticipated revenue is
estimated at a $20 million increase for FY99, of which $5.2
million is surplus from FY97. She further stated that the impact
to the County from $1.09 to $1.08 would be approximately
$1,250,000 for FY99 and $600,000 for FY98.
When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated that his recommendation would be a
pro-rata reduction to the School's budget if the real estate rate
is reduced.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the motion is premature and that
he cannot support the motion.
Mr. Ramsey stated that as staff is addressing the Bond Referendum
and constructing these projects, he is concerned about future
operating costs associated with those projects.
There was brief discussion relative to amending the proposed
budget as necessary if the $1.08 is adopted and to the long-term
impact of the proposed Capital Improvement Program if the $1.08 is
adopted.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns relative to County reassessments
in the Matoaca District being high. She stated that she will
evaluate the $1.08 because Chesterfield residents, and Virginians
an a whole, have expressed their desire for a tax cut.
Mr. Barber noted that a $1.08 cannot be advertised and then the
Board go back and adopt a $1.09, however, the Board can advertise
at a $1.09 and then adopt a $1.08 tax rate.
Mr. Daniel stated that one of the most difficult issues faced by
government is how to manage tax policies and how that weighs on
the request policy. He further stated that County staff and
Administration has always presented a series of facts that have
supported the direction in which the County is going. He stated
that he only wants to give back some of the surplus from last year
in a form of a tax rate reduction this year. He further stated
that these surplus funds should be given to the taxpayer so that
they can benefit from the good fortunes of Chesterfield County.
Mr. Barber stated that he would support reducing revenue taken in
if cooperation is given in reducing spending.
Mr. McHale stated that over the years, he has worked in the
budgeting process at the federal level, private sectors, and with
Chesterfield County government and, without exception, the
professionals, at every level, have always submitted quality work
consisting of genuine needs. He further stated that he feels the
County should seize opportunities such as this and allow the
citizens to share in the good fortune of County government. He
stated that some projects may have to be deferred, however, he
feels the Board should show County citizens that it is prepared to
share the benefits of their confidence in the Board and County
staff by a tax reduction.
103 2/25/98
Mrs. Humphrey concurred with Mr. Barber regarding his comments
about reducing spending if the $1.08 tax rate is adopted. She
stated that she does feel that citizens should share in the
County's good fortune and that she will support advertising at
$1.08.
Mrs. Humphrey then called for the vote on the motion made by Mr.
Daniel, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board to authorize the
advertisement of tax rates and other ordinances, the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), and the FY98 Budget for the FY99 budget
process.
