OLD BUSINESS V. NEW BUSINESS V.A FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Presentation County Manager John Crumpton provided a Power Point presentation for the FY 21- 22 Manager's Recommended Budget, a copy of the presentation is attached and incorporated into these minutes. The recommended budget as presented lowers the County's tax rate from 77.5 to 76 cents. Industrial tax base and sales tax growth has allowed this to occur. The budget has also addressed the pay plan. Increases in staff pay and benefits along with capital projects were major factors impacting the budget. Estimates for fee revenues and expenditures are returning to Pre-Covid levels. The amount requested was $86,807,044, and the Manger's recommended budget reduced the requested by $2.8 million to lower the County's tax rate in the recommended budget. The FY 20-21 Estimated Tax Base is $6,351,816,300. This year the County's tax base growth doubled mainly due to growth in the industrial park. The total recommended budget is $84,003,948. One penny in the tax rate now generates $614,922. A public hearing for the budget is scheduled for Monday, June 7th at 6:00 p.m. at the McSwain Center. The manager expressed concerns regarding the Solid Waste Fund. This fund also covers post closing requirements of the landfill in Lemon Springs. The Solid Waste Director recommended an increase in the solid waste fee of$131 per year and to implement the sticker program. No action was taken.
