F. Request for Approval of Memorandum of Understanding for Temporary Land Use at <br />OT Sloan Park. <br />Resolute Building Company has requested the use of approximately 75 feet of park <br />property adjoining the SECU Project property line. County property will be used for <br />setting up a construction office, construction employee parking, and staging materials <br />and equipment for the project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of <br />October 2018. Commissioner Sloan moved to accept a Memorandum of <br />Understanding authorizing the use of approximately 75 feet of property adjacent to <br />O.T. Sloan Park in order to construct the new SECU on Bragg Street, a copy of the <br />Memorandum of Understanding is attached to these minutes and by this reference <br />made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan <br />Nay: None <br />Absent: Dodson <br />The Chair ruled the motion had carried unanimously. <br />G. Consideration of Revisions of the County's Financial Policies Regarding Available <br />Fund Balance Percentages <br />The Board of Commissioners and the County Manager have had several discussions <br />over the last few years regarding appropriate fund balance levels. The Local <br />Government Commission recommends that counties maintain an available fund <br />balance equal to 8% of the General Fund budget as a minimum. The 8% equates to <br />roughly one month's expenditures. When asked what they would recommend as a <br />target percentage, they recommend that you look at the average of your peer group. <br />As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Lee County's population group average <br />available fund balance percentage was 31.57%. Lee County's percentage was <br />17.92%. Based on the numbers in our population group, it is recommended that <br />current fund balance policy in the County's financial policies be revised to raise the <br />floor available fund balance percentage from 14% to 16% and the target percentage <br />from 18% to 24%. Having an increased fund balance allows the County greater <br />flexibility if there is a downturn in the economy. It also gives the County greater <br />resources to be able to take advantage of opportunities that may come available for <br />property purchases, grants, etc. Commissioner Reives moved to approve the revised <br />Financial Policies Resolution. Commissioner Knecht moved to table the Financial <br />Policies Revisions until the next meeting to gain understanding of the proposed <br />policies. Commissioner Reives withdrew his motion to approve. After discussion, <br />Commissioner Knecht withdrew his motion to table. Commissioner Reives renewed <br />his motion to adopt the revised Financial Policies Resolution, a copy of which is <br />attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof . Upon a vote, <br />the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan <br />Page 719 <br />
