FIVE YEAR FORECAST Catheryn Whitesell, Director -Management Services, advised the City Council and School Board look forward each year for the chance to talk about the long term financial strategies of the City. Today, discussion will entail some of the long term financial strategies of the City, cover some of the economic trends that are impacting both the revenues and expenditures, review the details of some of the major revenues streams that fund both the City and School Operations, as well as spend time concerning issues involving construction funding for both City and Schools and the details of the City and School Forecasts. Catheryn advised the Staff wished to secure some of the thoughts highlighted in the deficit. New technology (a small handheld device) will be utilized. Three (3) warm up questions will be at the beginning of the presentation and then questions re assumptions driving the revenues and expenditures in the Forecast. At the end of the Forecast, the number (deficit or surplus) is not the important thing. The assumptions that drove us to this point are the important aspect.

(Warm Up The majority ruled same depends on the policies from Washington, D. C. November 16, 2010 -4- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOLBOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST Mrs. Whitesell advised, as in the past, a Regional Summit was held. Some of the Regional Economists were requested to speak with the City Managers of the various cities concerning the future of the Hampton Roads Region and perhaps for the individual cities. In general, their consensus was: "this will be a slow recovery and barring any major threat, key pieces of the economy should recover to roughly the 2007 levels by the end of the forecast period, which is 2016. Retail sales should reach their pre- recessionarylevels by the end of next Summer. " Economic Indicators Regionally and nationally this will be a slow recovery There is general agreement that by the end of this Forecast we will be seeing a return to growth patterns of 2007: Retail sales by the end of next Summer Commercial rents and vacancies in the next 12 to 18 months Non farm related jobs should recover by 2013 Existing housing prices should begin to recover value by 201 S Individual net worth by 2017 November 16, 2010 -5- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOLBOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST Virginia Beach continues to have a lower unemployment rate than the Nation or the Region. The forecast of unemployment by the Department of Energy shows unemployment peaking this year at over 10% and declining to 87% by the end of the Forecast period. The Congressional Budget Office is slightly more optimistic and sees unemployment `peaking" at just over 9% this year and then declining to a more historic level by 2016. November 16, 2010 -8- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOLBOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST Mrs. Whitesell reviewed in detail some of the local Revenues. The slight rise and dip in the early years of the forecast is due to the use of and loss by the Federal Stimulus funding in both City and School programs. The City is expecting a slow and steady improvement in its revenue streams. November 16, 2010 -9- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST These assessments are expected to decline, by approximately 3%, in next year's Budget. By the end of the Forecast, assessments are expected to increase slightly. This is a reflection of the marketing expectations that housing and commercial values will begin to recover toward the end of the Forecast period. November 16, 2010 -10- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST November 16, 2010 -11- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOLBOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST November 16, 2010 -12- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST November 16, 2010 -13- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Both the City and School system have tremendous need for modernization and revitalization of existing infrastructure. Tough choices have been made to limit the Capital Improvement Program to minimize the impact of the recession on the Operating Budget programs and services. As the graph illustrates, funding in the construction programs has been sustained only through the use of fund balance and Federal Stimulus funding. The amount of current revenue allocated to support construction is shown as the green portion of the bar on this graph has decreased. November 16, 2010 -6- CITY COUNCILandSCHOOLBOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST While there is a growth in the population over the Forecast period, the majority of this growth is in the over 45 age group, City-wide. Those under eighteen (18) continue to become a smaller percentage of the City's population. The median age for the City has increased to 36.3 years from 1990's average of 28.9. As our population ages and has ramifications for various programs offered by both City and Schools to the Citizenry, one concern raised at the Economic Summit was that nationally the percentage of the population in prime working age continues to shrink, while the dependency age groups of those under eighteen (18) and those over sixty-five (65) continues to grow as a percentage of the population. This will have some ramifications in terms of some of our entitlement programs at the Federal level.

As the graph illustrates, funding in the construction programs has been sustained only through the use of fund balance and Federal Stimulus funding. The amount of current revenue allocated to support construction is shown as the green portion of the bar on this graph has decreased. November 16, 2010 -14- Debt Servic This graph looks at cash funding to the Capital Improvement Program in more detail. During the Recession, both the City and Schools either suspended pay-as you-go financing strategies or significantly reduced. The City was able to mitigate the impact of these decisions again by replacing lost funding with fund balance or Federal Stimulus Dollars. Those are both one-time sources and are expected to decline. As the economy improves, both the City and Schools are attempting to increase their use ofpay-as-you-go within the I The Debt Per Capita, which is the most restrictive of the four (4) debt indicators, remains the City's most restrictive. The $2, 400 cap is being approached in 2012 and actually achieves $2, 361 that year. November 16. 201 D CITY COUNCILandSCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST -15- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST SCHOOL FORECAST To meet the need for economic development, infrastructure maintenance and School modernization projects indicates some discussion of increasing this indicator may be advisable over time Farrell Hanzaker, Chief Financial Officer -Virginia Beach City Public Schools, displayed the chart indicating the projected revenues and expenditures during the Forecast period. The first year shows a balanced budget. This is due to the fact that when Schools developed a Biennial Budget during the past year, the current Fiscal year and the year 2012 were covered. In order to balance the 2012 Budget, a combination of savings and reserve funds was utilized. In the last four (4) years of the Forecast, there is a $14.2-MILLLION deficit in 1214, a $10-MILLION deficit in 2013-2014, a $446, 000 surplus in 2014-2015 and in the November 16, 2010 -16- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST Nnvemher / h 2~ 1 ~ -17- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST This chart included Debt Service. November 16, 2010 -18- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST November 16, 2010 School Forecast (Continued) -19- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST Farrell Hanzaker advised the most significant cost drivers over the Forecast Period are the benefits cost. Those are primarily increases in the Health Care and the VRS rate. All other costs in the Forecast Period are basically stable and remain fairly `flat ". The School VRS rate is a significant cost driver in the entire Forecast Period. November 16, 2010 -20- CITY COUNCILand SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFING FIVE YEAR FORECAST CITY FORECAST Catheryn Whitesell, Director -Management Services, discussed the City Forecast. A key assumption is all the tax rates remains the same as in the approved Budget. No anticipated adjustments in the tax rates are included in the Forecast.
