JOINT CITY COUNCIL/SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING
FIVE-YEAR FORECAST
3:00 P.M.
Catheryn Whitesell, Director — Management Services, distributed a copy of the presentation, which is
attached hereto and made a part of this record. Ms. Whitesell advised there will be a discussion regarding
the Economy, Revenues and the Next Five Years. A deficit is projected with four main drivers: loss of
real estate tax revenue, increasing VRS Rates, increasing Health Insurance costs and some increasing
disposal costs. The local economy hinges on consumer confidence, defense spending and real estate
assessments. The State Revenue for Schools, Human Services and transportation continue to decline and
Federal Revenues are expected to follow suit. The forecast does not project any salary adjustments for
the second year;however,VRS and Health Insurance costs are expected to increase.
The Joint City Council/School Board Five-Year Forecast ADJOURNED at 3:47 P.M.

FY 2011 through FY 2015
After six consecutive quarters in retreat,businesses in the
third quarter increased spending on new computers and
software at an annual rate of 1.1 percent.The first quarter's
annualized plunge, by way of contrast, was 36.4 percent.
September was the first month of growth in manufacturing
employment in more than a year.Of Health Organizations
surveyed in October,38 percent reported that their organization
will increase hiring in the next six months.

r - re Assumptions for both
',c_hooIs
o No increase in operational costs (electricity, supplies,
contracts) allowed through the first two years of the
forecast, 2% after that.
o Capital Improvement Program
• Local pay-as-you-go funding for the capital construction program has been
reduced by S15 million in the first two years and$10 million each year
thereafter.
• School debt allocation was reduced by$5 million.
• State transportation construction funding is held at zero through the
forecast period.
• Only known allocations of Federal Stimulus Funding for capital projects
were included,even though both the City and Schools may have
outstanding requests for funding.
• No adjustment in the City Council's Debt per Capita limit
of$2,400 is assumed.
Assumptions for both
Ci t1. . hoofs (continued)
1.5% of payroll (this includes all salaries and fringe benefits)
set aside beginning i n FY 2012 then increases to 3/o of
payroll for each year f ollowing
2011 which would mean the second year
Ind School employees
No funding set aside for market survey adjustments for either City
employees or the School's Unified Scale employees is included.
xpected increase in VRS rates for both City and Schools
due to actuarial losses not included in FY 2011
• Health Care costs could increase by 5% to 10% each year
• Federal Health Care Mandates may increase costs in order
to provide coverage to part-time employees
o Both City and School GASB45 payments will be made
through'the Health Insurance Fund for the five years which
may eventually require increases in premiums
12
Expenditure Assumptions
o Student enrollment is projected to decline by
approximately 400 students each year.
o All current School programs continue through the
forecast period.
o School teaching staff will decline due to the
decline in students. The ratio of 22 students to 1
teacher will be maintained.
