R- ley, Jr County Administrator 540/665 -5666 Fax 540/667 -0370 TO: Board of Supervisors & Finance Commi ee FROM: John R. Riley, Jr., County Administrat c DATE: December 16, 2008 SUBJECT: FY 09 Budget Cuts E -mail: iriley@co.fredefick.va.us During the November joint Board of Supervisors and Finance Committee meeting, FY09 funding scenarios were presented to address the anticipated budgeted revenue shortfall of $4 million. After discussion, direction was given to staff that budget cuts would need to offset the projected revenue shortfall. The $4 million shortfall will proportionately reduce non- school budgeted expenditures by $1.68 million and school expenditures by $2.32 million. As requested, a list of proposed non - school cuts is attached for your review. Cuts of this significance will impact both the citizens and employees of Frederick County. With our primary function of service delivery, our employees have always been the key to the success that we have experienced in Frederick County. The proposed budget cuts in the current fiscal year will eliminate a minimum of four positions. If additional cuts are requested, it will result in the reduction of additional personnel. As County Administrator, I recognize the budgets that we are facing are the hardest that we have seen in decades. While partnering with both the Board of Supervisors and the School Board to get through these economic challenges, I urge the Board of Supervisors to fully understand the consequences of the budget cuts that will be needed with a level real estate tax rate. 107 North Kent Street - Winchester, Virginia 22601 FY 09 Proposed Non- School Budget Cuts Awards Banquet (remaining funds) Reduce Transportation funding (does not include carryforward) 5,000 100,000 Eliminate Fire & Rescue VIP program Eliminate Fire & Rescue vaccination program 93,120 Reduce Fire & Rescue Company capital contribution (50% reduction) 7,500 50,000 Reductions in Inspections, Engineering and Refuse (includes positions) 519739 Reduce Gypsy Moth Spraying 100,000 Cancel remaining budgeted travel 110,000 Eliminate position of Revenue Recovery Specialist 48,000 Eliminate employee Education assistance (funds remaining) 40,000 Fuel commuting costs (eliminate commuting in county vehicles) 20000 Eliminate Public Safety Operations Supervisor 45,000 Eliminate Public Safety Radio Technician 50,000 Reduce repairs and maintenance (buildings and grounds) 100,000 Eliminate Planning Technician 40,000 Reduce office expenses — Planning Department 15,000 Reductions in EDC (professional fees / office } 18,500 Freeze all Salaries - 97,435 Reductions in Sheriffs Dept. operating budget 80,000 Reduce Jail Operating funding 50,945 Eliminate Fire and Rescue Deputy Chief 100.000 Total 1,690,239 ,���Frederick County Public Schools to ensure all students an excellent education uupai II=1 IuCl 11 ul Jcnuols DATE: December 17, 2008 TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors THROUGH: Frederick County School Boa I FROM: Patricia Taylors Superintendent of Schools taylorP @frederick. k 12. va. us RE: Impact of Potential Reduction of Local Funding in FY2009 As requested, the School Board has considered how it would enact a $2.3 million spending reduction if that amount of local funding from the County is withdrawn. The following items have been identified to offset this possibility in FY2009 The potential items for reduction will affect direct instructional services to students. • Remaining FY2008 funds returned to the County's general fund ........ $633,420 ® Projected surplus in vehicle fuel expenditures ......... .......................$350,000 ® Hiring freeze for selected vacancies........... .....$282,183 ............................. a Projected NREP credit in current year ......... .........$118,441 ........................ Maintenance projects (boiler replacement) ............. .......................$169,199 0 Reduce school allocations.......... ..........$256,923 ....... ............................... Restrict overtime and substitute expenditures ......... .......................$174,277 • Reduce intervention and remediation services ........ .......................$335,557 Should local funding to the school division be reduced in FY2009, it is requested that any remaining funds that may be generated in the school operating fund by the end of the fiscal year be approved for transfer to the school capital project fund to address capital needs in FY2010. FY2010 will be more challenging for school divisions. At this point, it is expected that state funding to public education will be reduced between 5% to 15 %.

Box 3508 Winchester, fax 54D ' nchester, Virginia 22604 2 -722 - 546 . 2788 Page Two Impact of Potential Reduction of Local Funding in FY2009 funds, reduced local funds, and increased expenditure requirements will create a possible budget shortfall of $10 to $16 million for our school division. With a shortfall to this degree, services provided by the school division will be reduced. The school board will consider the following options. • Elimination or reduction of instructional programs • Elimination or reduction of after- school programs • Elimination or reduction of support programs • Reduction of workforce - loss of jobs • Salary reduction /freeze • Longer bus rides • Reduced functionality of technology • Delayed opening or new school or closing of existing school(s) On behalf of the School Board, I wish to convey our deep concern for the fiscal state of affairs and its long term impact to public education in our community. It is our desire to work with you in any way to discuss any of the above - mentioned items which will impact services to the young people of this community. C: John Riley, County Administrator
