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.
