BUDGET MESSAGE
FISCAL YEAR 11 APPROVED BUDGET
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVES A 3 CENT REAL ESTATE TAX INCREASE; STATE FUNDING REDUCTIONS LESS THAN EXPECTED
The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors approved the Fiscal Year 2010‐2011 Budget totaling $150.7 million with a 3 cent increase in the real estate tax rate from 71 cents to 74 cents. The Proposed Budget Message presented a budget which required a 75 cent real estate tax rate. A lower rate was expected to require additional budget reductions. Some restoration of state funding by the General Assembly coupled with an increase in some local revenue categories allowed for the budget to be balanced with a 3 cent ‐ rather than 4 cent ‐ increase in the real estate tax without further expenditure reductions.
Additional changes from the Proposed Budget to the Approved Budget include:
• Capturing dollars saved through reduced premiums for insurance;
• Offsetting additional state funding reductions to Libraries;
• Offsetting the reduction the State Recordation Tax allocated to schools;
• Offsetting additional state revenue reductions to the Registrar’s Office;
• Adding a one‐time appropriation of $800 for the Brain Injury Services of Southwest Virginia;
• and reducing state funding for public schools to be offset by a reduction in the cost of payments to the Virginia Retirement System.

Percent of State Funding for Constitutional OfficersFY 2000 to FY 2011
FY 00 FY 08 FY 10 FY 11 (proposed)
Last year, strategies were employed to balance the current year budget which included no new positions; no merit or cost of living increases; freezing vacant positions; a reduction of maintenance and capital funding; a 50% reduction in funding for fire and rescue capital; use of debt service reserve and rainy day funds to reduce debt service; and less funding for travel and training for our employees.
As staff assembled the proposed 2010-2011 budget for your review, I have emphasized that our budget must ensure the County will continue to maintain quality public safety protection and a quality educational system for our citizens, while minimizing the impact on local taxpayers as much as possible. We have employed several strategies to minimize the possible impact on these priorities, including continuing no merit or cost of living increases for the second consecutive fiscal year; continuing the freeze on nearly 13 currently vacant positions; rejecting all requests for increased funding for operations unless mandated or required (e.g. utilities); and no restoration of part-time salary funding in several departments or funds for travel or training.
All these are small items, but they add up. Localities will have to supplement the funding or do away with the program.”
Virginia Department of Planning and Budget Manager Jerry Edwards
One strategy that must be considered in the proposed budget is the reduction of personnel in offices where the state has eliminated funding for staff positions. In the Commissioner of the Revenue’s and the Treasurer’s offices, all funds for staff were eliminated except for the two Constitutional Officers. I am proposing that the County restore funding for five of these positions in each office; as a result, five positions will need to be eliminated from each office. When we compare the current staffing in these offices to other counties with similar demographics, we can no longer support shifting County dollars from other critical areas to support the higher staffing levels. To allow time for both offices to address reductions in staffing, these reductions will be effective January 1, 2011 for positions not currently vacant. Over the next year, we will also work closely with both offices to achieve greater efficiencies through technology and workload redistribution.
I am also proposing that we continue the freeze on filling existing vacancies in the organization. This results in a reduction of nearly 13 full-time equivalent positions; when combined with the elimination of 10 additional positions, this represents a reduction in County staff of nearly 6%. In addition, the proposed budget anticipates offering incentives to employees who are eligible for retirement to help avoid the need for additional layoffs or terminations. If five to fifteen employees elect to accept incentives and retire, this would result in a total reduction of County staffing of 7% to 10%.
The County’s employees are our organization’s greatest asset. Reductions in staff create additional work for the remaining employees who carry on the duties of supporting our citizens each day. No reductions in salaries or benefits are proposed for these employees, as they will have more responsibilities and duties as a result of the reductions proposed above. We have many dedicated and loyal employees who work hard to provide the best possible service to our citizens, and I greatly appreciate their efforts during this extremely difficult time.
The Board of Supervisors offered consensus in changing the method of motor vehicle valuation, which will allow us to offset some of the shortfall in personal property revenue, and help to stabilize the existing local revenue base. This change in valuation method will generate approximately $700,000 in revenues, without changing the existing personal property rates.
“What we have here is a classic case of shifting the fiscal burden to the locality and setting up a condition in which the locality feels the complete brunt of the pressure. The state does not appear to have an appetite for addressing revenues, and that position is something that localities will live with for years.”

Where It Comes FromFY 2011 Proposed Budget
$154.1 Million
For FY 2010-2011, I am recommending the Board consider a 4 cent increase in the real estate tax rate. Increasing the real estate tax by 4 cents will generate approximately $2.7 million, and allow us to restore $700,000 to the school system’s FY11 funding request, and also add $300,000 to our County schools to address the proposed change in funding for the local composite index. The proposed increase will also allow us to fully support our public safety operations; allow money to be set aside for future years’ budgets; provide funding for road improvements and the purchase of equipment for fire and rescue operations; and provide funding for retirement incentives and phasing in of staff reductions. It should be noted that our budget projections are based on former Governor Kaine’s proposed budget, and do not reflect any adjustments proposed in the current session of the General Assembly. Governor McDonnell’s proposed reduction in funding to public schools could amount to an additional $3 million to $5 million in cuts to the Montgomery County Schools.
The Commonwealth has proposed to cut 21% of its funding for the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office and the Sheriff’s Office. With a 4 cent real estate tax rate increase, we will be able to maintain full staffing (except for three frozen vacant positions) in the Sheriff’s, Commonwealth Attorney’s, and Clerk of Court’s offices. Our commitment to public safety remains strong, and we appreciate all that those in the law enforcement community do to protect us each day.

Where It GoesFY 2011 Proposed Budget
$154.1 Million
As County staff reviewed our financial situation with you in earlier work sessions, you requested that I develop a worksheet showing reductions that would be required if the Board approved a smaller real estate tax increase, or no tax increase. That summary is attached as Appendix A to my budget message. Should the General Assembly restore funds to address the reductions proposed in former Governor Kaine’s budget, then these recommended reductions will change. As we continue through the budget review process, we will update this information as we receive more information from the State.
In April 2004, I wrote these words in my budget message to the Bedford City Council:
“We must continue to encourage our state elected officials to move forward with finding long-term solutions to the Commonwealth’s funding issues, and we must demand that the State continue to evaluate the distribution of funds to the localities to meet core services. Without major changes in the tax structure in Virginia, our ability to control our local fiscal affairs remains somewhat limited. We must continue to be aggressive in promoting economic development … in order to continue to expand our tax base and improve the opportunities for our workforce.”
These words are every bit as true today as they were six years ago! It has become obvious the State has decided that rather than evaluating how funds are raised and distributed for core services such as education and public safety, they are simply going to pass the burden of funding these core services to the localities. With no hope of additional revenues from the state to fund these and other essential functions, it is left to our local elected officials to decide how

BUDGET SUMMARY
FISCAL YEAR 11 APPROVED BUDGET
BUDGET SUMMARY
Budget Summary, Page 1
Introduction The FY 11 budget for the General Fund and the School Operating Fund totals $128.2 million. The General Fund totals $39.6 million and the School Operating Fund totals $88.6 million. The total County budget also includes the Debt Service Fund ($17.8 million), the Law Library Fund ($17,600), the School Cafeteria Fund ($3.8 million), funding for Fire and Rescue Capital Equipment ($340,000), and a Revenue Stabilization Fund ($564,248). The County budget for all funds totals $150.7 million. The approved real estate tax rate is set at 74 cents, which is a 3 cent tax rate increase. In order to address state funding reductions, increases in fringe benefit costs and debt service, reallocation of some resources and reductions in some expenditure categories were required. The FY 11 budget reflects a total decrease of $8.3 million in state, federal, and local funds.
County funds provided in the School Operating Budget total $35.7 million. This is a $610,211 increase in County funding from FY 10 to FY 11, and a $1,312,291 increase over the School Board’s proposed budget. The Governor’s budget reduces State funding for public schools by $9.1 million from the FY 2010 Approved Budget, a reduction of 16%. To offset a portion of this shortfall, additional County funds are approved. The County accepted only expenditure requests for items that were required to maintain service contracts and to address health and safety issues. A total of $71,580 was added for these categories. The FY 11 Approved Budget estimates a 12% increase for health insurance premiums, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase in unemployment insurance rates. The increase in group life is due to actuarial adjustments for FY 11 and the increase in unemployment insurance is based on the extension of unemployment benefits and the increase in the number of claims being filed. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11. No compensation increases (i.e. no July 1 pay plan adjustments, merit increases, reclassifications) are included in the approved budget.
Costs for operations for the five constitutional officers total $14.1 million, of which local funds cover 58% for these offices with state and other resources covering 42%. Compared to the FY 10 budget, local funds provided 54% of these costs with state and other resources covering 46%. This increase in local funds is the direct result of state funding reductions made in the Governor’s budget.

Budget Summary, Page 2
Summaries of Major Selected Functions General Government Administration General Government Administration refers to divisions such as the Board of Supervisors, County Administrator, County Attorney, Registrar, Financial and Management Services, Information Technology, Human Services, Internal Services, and others. Highlights include:
$16,000 is added to the Wellness Program for the increased utilization of the health clinic. This
increase is made for the County health clinic based on the projected employee usage in FY 11. The number of employees participating in the health clinic has increased 55% between 2008 and 2010 from 220 to 340.
($72,317) is reduced from the Information Technology Division to reflect one FTE held vacant due to
the County hiring freeze.
($39,719) is reduced in this Registrar’s Office to reflect one FTE held vacant due to the County hiring freeze. An additional ($2,133) is reduced from the registrar’s mileage budget to reflect the revised state policy that suspends mileage reimbursements for Electoral Board Members.
Judicial Administration Judicial Administration includes the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Juvenile and Domestic Court Clerk, Circuit Court, District Court, Magistrate, Commonwealth’s Attorney, etc. The County is required to provide office space, furniture, filing cabinets and other minimal operational items for the Courts. The State Supreme Court provides funding for other costs such as personal services. While in the past, offices such as the Commonwealth’s Attorney and Clerk of Circuit Court were funded almost exclusively by the State Compensation Board, state budget reductions require additional local dollars in order to preserve services to the extent possible. Tax Collection Tax Collection includes the Commissioner of Revenue and the Treasurer. Funding from the FY 10 to the FY 11 budget decreased 7.96%. State budget reductions have drastically affected the operations of these two offices.
Highlights include:
($123,815) and Five FTE are reduced from the Commissioner of the Revenue budget due to a reduction in state funding. The Governor’s proposed budget eliminated all state support for staff and operations within the Commissioner’s state budget, with the exception of the constitutional officer. The additional state funding reductions, termed the “flexible cuts,” removed any additional revenue added to the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office in the final approved state budget. Through the County approved budget, local dollars will restore six of the ten positions cut by the state. Effective January 1, 2011, four positions will be eliminated in the Commissioner’s Compensation Board

Budget. An additional position, which is located in the Commissioner’s Assessments Division, has been held vacant due to the County’s hiring freeze. This position will be eliminated July 1, 2010.
($96,431) and Five FTE are reduced from the Treasurer’s compensation board budget due to a
reduction in state funding. The Governor’s proposed budget eliminated all state support for staff and operations within the Treasurer’s state budget, with the exception of the constitutional officer. The additional state funding reductions, termed the “flexible cuts,” removed any additional revenue added to the Treasurer’s office in the final approved state budget. Through the County approved budget, local dollars will restore three of the eight positions cut by the state. Effective January 1, 2011, five positions will be eliminated.
Public Safety Expenditures for Public Safety are comprised of the Sheriff’s Department and fire and rescue operations. This category increased 2.72%. The Governor’s budget drastically reduced funding for the operations of the Sheriff’s Office; however, the preservation of public safety was given high priority. Additional local dollars have been provided to restore lost state revenue to the extent possible.
Highlights include:
$360,465 is added for increased costs associated with the Regional Jail. The Western Virginia Regional Jail (WVRJ) per diem increased from $20 to $30.20 for FY 11 due to $1.9 million in state budget cuts and $1.1 million in increased debt service costs.
($127,955) is reduced in the Sheriff’s Office to reflect three FTE held vacant due to the County hiring
freeze. The Sheriff’s Department currently has three vacant positions which the Sheriff has elected to hold vacant, providing savings in FY 11 to help offset state budget reductions.
$340,000 or half a penny of the real estate tax rate is provided for fire and rescue capital equipment.
The Sheriff’s Office is supported with $4.6 million in state/other designated funds or 44% of the Sheriff’s total budget. Local funds provide $6 million or 56% of the Sheriff’s total budget. In FY 10, the state provided 46%, with local funding providing the remaining 54%. The increase in local dollars is the direct result of cuts to the Sheriff’s state funding in the Governor’s budget. The following chart shows the amount of local funding provided for the Sheriff’s office over the past six fiscal years.

General Services The General Services function consists of Solid Waste Removal, Maintenance of Buildings and Grounds, Animal Control, Engineering/Environmental Services, and Inspections. Increases to the General Services budget are included to cover the costs associated with basic expenses of utility and fuel costs, as well as maintaining the County’s infrastructure. Highlights include:
$54,280 is added in the General Services Division for increased electricity costs. This increase is added based on average usage in all County facilities.
($68,465) is reduced in the General Services Division to reflect 2.6 FTE held vacant due to the County
hiring freeze.
Health and Welfare Health and Welfare includes Social Services, Human Services, Public Health and the Comprehensive Services Act. Funding for these agencies includes federal, state and local dollars totaling $9.2 million. An additional $50,000 in local money is held in Special Contingencies to meet increased costs for the Comprehensive Services Act. Of the total amount budgeted for Health and Welfare, 73% is attributable to the Department of Social Services where funding is provided to cover the County’s share of mandated costs related to public assistance programs and administrative costs which include their participation in the County’s Compensation Plan. Funding for Human Services and the Health Department provides 9% of the total in this category. The remaining funds support services through the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA), of which County dollars represent 18% of the total funding.

Education The Montgomery County Public Schools’ total School Operating Fund decreased $7.8 million for FY 11. This decrease in funding is the result of $9.1 million in state funding cuts. County funding in the FY 11 budget totals $35.7 million. This is a $610,211 increase in County funding from FY 10 to FY 11, and a $1,312,291 increase over the School Board’s proposed budget. Additional County dollars are provided to help offset some of the state funding reductions. Regional Library The Regional Library accounts for 4% of the General Fund budget, with funding of $1.7 million. State budget cuts have also affected the library through state aid reductions. Highlights include:
($144,101) is reduced in the Library to reflect 3.375 FTE held vacant due to the County hiring freeze.
The chart below shows the funding for the Regional Library over the past six fiscal years.
Debt Service Debt service requirements on existing and new debt are based on the sale of bonds and the interest rate at the time of sale. Debt service tables are established and dictate debt service retirements over a fixed period.
• ($1,262,226) is removed from the base budget. The base budget is adjusted each year to cover the cost of principal, interest and administrative fees associated with long-term debt.
o The FY 10 budget included a one-time transfer of $1,050,000 from the General Fund to provide funds to shave the peak of debt service costs over six years. $175,000 of these funds will be used in FY 11 to offset debt service.
o An additional $300,000 was reduced due to debt service savings resulting from the planned issuance of interest free Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB) rather than Literary Loan debt at an interest rate of 3%.

o The use of funds generated by the four cents of the tax rate previously set aside increased $20,338, for a total of $1,893,883.
o The planned use of interest earnings is reduced by $107,564 due to a projected decrease in interest rates.
• $352,692 in one-time only funding is included as a contingency. These funds are one-time only
funds that will be used in future years to cover debt service costs. The debt service schedule assumed interest earnings would pay a portion of debt payments in future years. Given the low interest rates, a one-time contingency fund will be used to offset interest earnings if they are lower than expected.
Contingencies – General The General Contingency is established to pay for unknown and unanticipated expenditures that arise during the year that have not been included in the approved budget.
No funding is added to the General Contingencies. The County has a policy of retaining 1% of the County’s General Fund budget to cover contingency needs. Current funding is slightly less than 1% of the total General Fund Budget for FY 11.
Contingencies – Special Special contingencies include monies held in abeyance as a holding account for known issues/expenditures of which the details have yet to be resolved.
$50,000 is included to meet the mandated local share of the Comprehensive Services Act.
$262,500 is added for retirement incentives. Incentives, such as sharing in the cost of health insurance premiums, may result in future budget savings should employees chose to retire and their positions be held vacant.
Detailed explanations of the expenditure recommendations, a recap of expenditures by fund, County dollars by division, position (FTE) listing, and a graphic summary of the FY 11 Approved Budget are included in the Appendices at the end of this section.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY’S BUDGET PROCESS
UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET PROCESS
Understanding the Budget Process, Page 1
Preparation of The Annual Budget Montgomery County's annual budget begins with the proposed budget, the budget recommended by the County Administrator, and ends with the approved budget, which has been reviewed and adjusted by the Board of Supervisors. This budget document includes both the County's general government operating budget and Montgomery County Public Schools' operating budget. The Board of Supervisors holds public hearings at which citizens may express their views on the recommended budget. Such comments assist the Board of Supervisors in making decisions regarding spending. The County's 2011 original Budget Calendar is as follows (some changes may occur during the process): Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Calendar Activity Date/Deadline County Administration delivers budget forms to divisions and external agencies. 11/06/09 Board of Supervisors holds budget work session for budget development. 11/16/09 Divisions without access to the County’s network key base budget changes. 12/07-12/11/09 Divisions and external agencies (except schools) submit proposed base budget 12/30/09 revisions to County Administrator and administrative review of base budget. Board of Supervisors holds public hearing for citizen input. 01/11/10 County Administrator review with Directors, Constitutional Officers, and Agency Heads the Proposed Budget. 01/11-02/08/10 Board of Supervisors holds budget work session for budget development. 01/25/10 School Board budget presented to Board of Supervisors. 02/08/10 Board of Supervisors holds budget work session for budget development. 02/22/10 County Administrator delivers Proposed Budget to Board of Supervisors. 03/05/10 County Administrator presents FY 2011 Proposed Budget. 03/08/10 Board of Supervisors develops advertised budget and tax rate and budget synopsis. 03/08-03/15/10 Board of Supervisors establishes advertised tax rate and prepares budget synopsis for advertisement in newspapers. 03/15/10 Board of Supervisors holds public hearing on advertised tax rate and budget. 03/25/10
UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET PROCESS
Understanding the Budget Process, Page 2
Activity Date/Deadline Board of Supervisors holds work sessions to establish tax rate and adopt budget. 03/15-04/12/10 Board of Supervisors establishes tax rate and adopts budget. 04/12/10 Board of Supervisors makes budget appropriation. By 06/30/10 County Administration notifies divisions and agencies of final appropriations. After 07/01/10 The County's Budget Process With the goal of allowing decision-makers to focus on broader issues, the budget document consolidates similar functions. Efforts to streamline the process and reduce the volume of paper generated have changed the process in past years. The FY 2011 budget continues to consolidate information and array budget data in ways that facilitate a broader understanding of the document. These include: • Base Budget Targets are established for budget requests. This allows for the delineation between previously approved funding levels and requested increases in items.
o Base Budget Targets are established as follows:
Personal Services - Includes all positions approved up to the issuance of the proposed budget, and covers the estimated costs in fringe benefits.
Operations and Maintenance Target - Caps funding at the level of the FY 10 Approved Budget,
less adjustments for one-time only expenditure items.
Excludes Capital Outlay - Capital Outlay requests are presented separately from the Base Budget.
• Addenda Requests are increased funding over and above the Base Budget Targets. They must be
presented as Addenda to the Base Budget. This means that additional justification for increased funding or the inclusion of Capital Outlay dollars must be provided with the request.
These changes were designed to clearly identify increases to operations, initiatives proposed by departments, and all capital outlay items requested. The chart on page 3 depicts the process.
UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET PROCESS

How to Understand and Use This Document The FY 2011 budget document is organized into six major headings, each of which is separated by a large divider tab:
o Budget Message o Table of Contents o Budget Summary o Understanding the Budget o Revenue Summary o Expenditure Plans
Included under the last section, Expenditure Plans; are 34 of the County's major Divisions or budget categories, which include revenues earmarked for use by the specific Division. Listed numerically according to a three-digit code, each of these sub-sections includes the Division’s Organizational Chart, Financial Data, Description of the Division as a whole, Base Budget Discussion, Addenda Discussion, which includes the County Administrator’s recommendation. Also included are each Department’s Description and Financial Data. Division Financial Data - Provides a recap of the Division's funding history, including the Base Budget and addenda requests, as well as recommended funding by three categories:
o Personnel Services o Operations and Maintenance o Capital Outlay
Division Description, Base Budget Discussion, and Addenda Discussion - The Description section explains the Division as a whole. The Base Budget Discussion and Addenda Discussion justify and describe the County Administrator’s funding recommendations.
Base Budget Total Budget Addenda + = Estimated Costs for Continued Dollars Over and Above the Operations Base Budget Target for Operating and Capital Items Base on Prior Year Approved
Budget with Adjustments Dollars Requested for New Base Budget + or Expanded Services (Initiatives) Addenda Excludes: Motor Vehicle Purchases Office Furniture Other Equipment
UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET PROCESS

Department Description and Financial Data - Presents historical budget data by major category for each department. The following column headings are used:
FY 09 Revised Budget
FY 09 Actual Budget
FY 10 Approved Budget
FY 11 Base Budget
FY 11 County Administrator’s Recommended Addenda
FY 11 County Administrator’s Recommended Total
The County Administrator's Recommendation column identifies the amount of funding recommended for each major cost category by base budget and addenda. Revenue that has been designated to offset expenditures in divisions is also presented. These sources include State Compensation Board funding, fees and permit charges collected by the respective divisions and other sources related to each specific function. In the presentation format, designated revenues are totaled and subtracted from the expenditures, identifying the amount of the County’s undesignated general fund revenue needed to support the division’s expenditures. Conclusion The Board of Supervisors uses this combination of documents and information to review and approve the annual budget. It is available as public information for review by any citizen who requests access to it and is found on the County’s web site at www.montva.com. A glossary of financial terms begins on the following page in an effort to assist citizens in reviewing and understanding the County's budget. If you have any questions about the County's budget or the budget process, please contact Montgomery County’s Office of Public Information at 382-5700.

Tax Exempt Revenue Bonds Under the lease revenue method, the County and/or School Board transfer a “lease hold interest” (the legal right to use the property) to the Industrial Development Authority. The IDA then “leases back” these facilities and projects to the County and/or the School Board for a term equal to the debt service. The lease payments cover the debt service. These issuances were also structured with a Trustee. The Trustee must enforce all obligations. Consequently, the Trustee collects rental payments, pays bondholders, monitors requisitions on the use of funds and issues checks to vendors from the proceeds. Tax Levy The total dollar amount of tax that should ideally be collected based on existing tax rates and assessed values of personal and real properties. Tax Rate The level at which taxes are imposed or charged for certain property owned by citizens and businesses. Unemployment Rate The Virginia Employment Commission's (VEC's) report of persons who are actively filed as not holding, but are seeking, a job for which they would receive compensation. This does not include persons who have no job, but do not consult the VEC for job placement services.
REVENUE SUMMARY
FISCAL YEAR 11 APPROVED BUDGET
REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 1
Overview of Economic Status The condition of the County economy is greatly affected by national and state economic conditions. The economy has an impact on County services and the County’s ability to pay for these services. A strong economy promotes more people working, more homebuyers, and more tax revenue. In contrast, a bleak economy means businesses close, unemployment rates increase, and the competition for government dollars increases. The state of the economy is the single most important factor in predicting growth and increased tax revenue. Predicting Future Revenue Collections
• Real Estate values are based on the actual value as of January 1, 2009 and estimated increases from new construction. From January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010, assessed values due to new construction are estimated to increase $95 million. From January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2011, assessed values are estimated to increase $80 million.
• Personal property tax collections are based on the 2009 tax book, which is the most recent
documentation of assessment values. From this data, the 2010 values are estimated. In addition, prior year collection rates are used as predictors of future year collections. The rate of collection in FY 09 and FY 10 is used to estimate the rate of collection in FY 11. The 2010 personal property book will not be issued until at least September 1, 2010, which is in FY 11. As additional information is known, better estimates can be made.
• Estimated values and collection rates can also change depending upon the fluctuations in the
economy and interest rates. If consumer confidence wanes, the growth in sales tax collections, personal property values and the value of new housing starts are affected. Mirroring the nation and state, sales tax collections, new car registrations and new housing starts are declining from the growth realized in previous years.
• In FY 09, many revenue categories exceeded projections, while a few fell short of the projected
estimates. In FY 10, revenue collections are down significantly from budgeted estimates. Undesignated revenue collections are estimated to miss budgeted estimates by nearly $1.6 million, creating shortfalls in FY 10. The two main sources of the anticipated shortfall in FY 10 are in personal property motor vehicle collections (down $750,000) and local sales and use tax (down $840,000). In FY 11, the projected revenue shortfall is estimated at $1.3 million. Estimates in real estate growth were revised downward based on the most recent building permit data. Additional revenue will be generated due to changing the valuation method for assessing motor vehicles from loan value to trade value. This change in valuation method will offset $700,000 of the projected shortfall in FY 11. Given current economic conditions and known state budget cuts to localities, shortfalls in FY 11 are expected in the following categories of revenue: state support for public education and constitutional officers, sales and use tax collections, and interest earnings.
What is the National Economic Outlook?
• The state and local economy often mirrors national trends.
• The United States unemployment rate had fallen in recent years, indicating a strong economy. This changed significantly over the past two years with record high unemployment rates. According to the
REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 2
Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), the unemployment rate for the U.S. fell from 5.5% in 2004 to 5.1% in 2005 to 4.6% in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, the unemployment rate increased to 5.8%. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2009 was 9.7% compared to 7.1% for December 2008. The most recent data indicates that unemployment rates are rapidly increasing with double digit unemployment rates expected throughout much of 2010.
• The U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GPD), which is the total market value of goods and services
produced in the United States, is a good indication of economic trends. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the GDP of the U.S. for the third and fourth quarters of 2009 increased at a rate of 2.2% and 5.7% respectively, indicating signs of economic recovery. Consumer spending, business investment and exports have all had significant impacts for moderate growth in the last two quarters of 2009.
• The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of inflation. In 2005, the percentage change (inflation
rate) for the CPI was 3.4%. This rate decreased to 3.2% for 2006, decreased to 2.8% for 2007, and increased to 3.8% for 2008. In 2009, the rate decreased to -0.4%, the lowest rate and first negative rate in the last five years.
• While unemployment rates are near record highs, the U.S. economy is showing signs of recovery.
Most economists believe the recession hit bottom at the end of the second quarter in 2009, with real gains in GDP in the third and fourth quarters. Economists are hesitant to predict much in the way of economic growth, given the uncertainty of the future and the modest gains experienced at the end of 2009. Most economic forecasts are cautious and conservative with estimates of real growth in GDP of 2% to 3% for 2010. High unemployment rates, tighter credit markets, an increase in the national savings rate are placing downward pressure on consumer sales and broad based economic growth. Whether the national economy will continue its path to recovery into 2010 is unknown. Efforts at the Federal level to stabilize the banking, auto and housing industries, along with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act have helped to restore some growth to the national economy.
What is the State Economic Outlook?
• Virginia’s economy is experiencing similar trends as the national economy.
• Virginia’s unemployment rate had also fallen over the past several years, indicating job growth until 2008. According to the VEC, the unemployment rate for the State of Virginia fell from 3.7% in 2004, to 3.5% in 2005, to 3.0% in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, the unemployment rate increased to 4%. Comparing the latest information, the unemployment rate for December 2009 was 6.7%, up from 5.1% for December 2008.
• While corporate growth is occurring, the number of jobs has not increased as quickly as expected. Unemployment rates are expected to begin declining in the second half of 2010.
• State General Fund revenues collapsed in the second half of 2009 with declines in payroll withholding, sales tax collections, corporate income tax collections, and recordation taxes. Including the December reforecast, the state has reduced revenues by over $7.5 billion for the 2008-2010 biennium. Revenue collections for 2010 have trailed estimates and have led to additional budget reductions that have been pushed down to local governments.
REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 3
• The housing market in Virginia is showing signs of stabilization. The decline in home sales and depreciating market value bottomed in the spring of 2009.
• Based on the latest data, Virginia’s economic outlook is consistent with national trends with the economy showing some signs of improvement. However, recent data shows that unemployment rates are still increasing drastically and state revenues are not keeping pace with estimates. This has resulted in major budget cuts in state funding at the local level.
What about Local Growth?
• While the local economy often mirrors state and national trends, Montgomery County’s growth potential is weaker than in previous years.
• Like national and state trends, Montgomery County’s unemployment rate has fallen in recent years
and then increased sharply. According to the VEC Montgomery County’s unemployment rate fell from 3.6% in 2004 to 3.5% in 2005 to 3.0% in 2006. The unemployment rate then increased to 3.2% in 2007 and 4.1% in 2008. In December 2009, the County’s unemployment rate was 6.4%, up from a year ago when the unemployment rate for December 2008 was 5.2%.
• New car registrations for the first and second quarters of 2009 compared to the first and second
quarters of 2008 were down 23%. New truck registrations for the first and second quarters of 2009 compared to the first and second quarters of 2008 were down 39%. Montgomery County’s decline is consistent with most other localities in the New River Valley.
• Over the past several years, Montgomery County was still experiencing growth while other localities, and the nation in general, were experiencing problems from the recession and the collapse of the stock and real estate markets. While local governments were experiencing the effects of the recession, causing revenue shortfalls in FY 2008 and FY 2009, Montgomery County did not experience the effect until FY 2010. Since Montgomery County experienced the downward effects of the recession later, it is also expected that the County will experience the upward effects of the recovery later as well. Normal growth patterns are not expected to occur until FY 2012.
State Budget: Local Impact
• Over the past several fiscal years, the state has drastically reduced the amount of state funding provided to local governments. Public education, public safety, Constitutional Officers, local libraries, and other local services have all been affected. In many areas, the state has shifted the burden of revenue on to local governments. For FY 2011, the impact to local government is even more severe than in previous years.
• The Governor’s budget reduces State funding for Montgomery County’s public schools by $9.1 million from the FY 2010 Approved Budget, a reduction of 16%. State funding reductions to general county operations total nearly $0.7 million from the FY 2010 Approved Budget, a reduction of 8%. Total estimated state funding reductions for FY 11 is estimated at $9.8 million and represents a 15% reduction from the FY 2010 Approved Budget. The table on the next page provides a breakdown of the state funding reductions by functional area from FY 2010 to FY 2011.
REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11

• Undesignated Resources fall into two categories: undesignated revenue and fund balance. Undesignated Revenue represents accounts which may be used in the budget at the Board’s discretion. These accounts include property taxes, sales taxes, and similar local sources of revenue.
Total budgeted revenue for FY 11 is $150.7 million with $73.9 million considered designated. Of this designated amount, $56.7 million or 77% is earmarked for schools. Designated resources are mandated for specific uses. Undesignated Revenue dollars that may be used in the budget at the Board’s discretion, total $76.7 million. Of this amount, $35.7 million or 47% goes to the public schools for operations. $15.6 million or 20% of the undesignated dollars support debt service costs for county facilities including public schools. $2.1 million in funds generated by the four cents on the real estate tax rate previously set aside for debt service is used in the FY 11 Approved budget.

REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 7
Personal Property Tax Assessments
• Personal Property Tax is assessed on cars, vans, pick-up trucks, utility trailers, boat trailers, motorcycles, and similar property owned by individuals and businesses. The rate is $2.45 per $100 of assessed value.
• Since FY 02 the County has experienced significant growth in motor vehicle revenue collections.
Dramatic increases have occurred in prior years due to the larger than average sales in sport utility vehicles. Recent data, however, show a decline in car and truck registrations. The values on the personal property book have remained relatively flat for several years. For FY 10, the value on the personal property book for motor vehicles dropped dramatically due to a change in vehicle valuation by the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA) from an oversupply of used vehicles on the market. This resulted in a $33 million drop in valuation on the personal property book for motor vehicles. It is estimated that the County will fall short of the $9.3 million FY 10 estimate by approximately $750,000. To help offset this shortfall in FY 11, a change in the method in which motor vehicles are assessed from loan value to trade value is approved. This change in valuation is estimated to offset $700,000 of the projected shortfall for FY 11.
• The Car Tax Relief program prohibits increasing the personal property tax rate on the first $20,000 of value for vehicles that qualify for relief. In addition, before the state will provide reimbursement, the locality must first collect the taxpayer’s share. Changes in the Car Tax Relief program made by the General Assembly became effective in FY 07. These changes reduce the amount of funding the State provides for Car Tax Relief. Individuals no longer receive a 70% reduction on their Car Tax bills. Each year the percentage of relief changes. The percentage of relief for FY 10 is 65.16% and the percentage for FY 11 will be known in the fall of 2010.
Other Personal Property Taxes
• Machinery and Tools is a tax on businesses at $1.82 per $100 in value which is assessed at 60%/50%/40% depending on the number of years the asset has been owned. Since FY 02, revenue

REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 8
collections have been relatively flat, averaging close to $2 million per year. In recent years, the County has seen a spike in revenue with the County collecting $2.3 million in FY 06. However, newer projections indicate a decline in collections since FY 07. The County estimates $2.16 million for FY 10. The FY 11 estimate has been set at $2.11 million.
• Merchants Capital is a tax on the value of inventory at $3.05 per $100 and is assessed at 20% of the actual value. In FY 03 and FY 04, assessed value declined. In FY 05, the tax rate was lowered from $4.50 to $3.05 which generated a 38% increase in value deemed to be from car dealerships retaining their inventory within the County. The County estimates $1 million in collections for FY 10, and collections indicate the County will meet the estimate. The FY 11 estimate has been lowered to $0.8 million due to declining inventories at local automotive dealers in the County.
Local Sales Tax: Growth of Retail Sales
• Local sales tax collection had been increasing progressively over the last several years until FY 09. FY 09 was the first year in which actual revenue collections came in lower than the prior fiscal year. For FY 2010, the County estimated $7.6 million; however, it is now estimated that the County will fall short of that estimate by approximately $840,000. Due to declining sales, the FY 11 estimate is set at $7 million.

REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11

Revenue Stabilization Fund
• Given the uncertainty of local revenue, and the potential for additional state funding reductions, a revenue stabilization fund has been established for FY 11. Monies in this fund represent on-going resources and totals $564,248. The fund is intended to ease further reductions in revenue should they occur in the upcoming fiscal year.
Fund Balance
• No General Fund balance dollars have been used to balance the FY 2011 budget.
• The FY 10 budget included a one-time transfer of $1,050,000 from the General Fund to provide
funds to shave the peak of debt service costs over six years. $175,000 in Debt Service Fund balance will be used in FY 11 to offset debt service.
• $1,893,883 in School Capital Construction Fund balance is transferred to the Debt Service Fund for School Debt Service for FY 11. In prior years, the County earmarked 4 cents of the tax rate for new school construction. In FY 10, the County transferred $1,873,545 from this fund to cover a portion of debt service costs for the 2008 debt issued for new schools.
Reserve Funds
• A reserve fund is defined as an account used either to set aside revenues that are not required for expenditure in the current year or earmark revenues for a specific future purpose.
Why Do We Need Reserve Funds and a Cash Flow Reserve?
• The financial health of a locality is determined based on its “operating position” which refers to three factors:
o The County’s ability to balance the budget using current revenue (not using fund balance in the
operating budget). o The County’s ability to maintain reserves for emergencies (establishing reserve funds for
specific purposes).

o The County’s ability to maintain sufficient cash to pay expenses on a timely basis. (Ensuring an adequate level of cash flow reserves).
• Setting aside monies through reserve funds will help further declines in County revenues in the
upcoming fiscal year.
Why Shouldn’t We Use Reserve Money to Balance the Budget?
• These funds are “non-recurring”. The use of these funds can only be for items that do not require expenditures in future years (one-time-only expenses). These funds cannot be used for salary increases, additional personnel, or program expansion that recurs in future years. For example, if $1,000,000 of reserve monies were used in the budget to cover salaries, the next year there would be $1,000,000 worth of costs and $1,000,000 less money. The County’s financial advisors have recommended a policy of maintaining undesignated fund balance between 8% and 10% of operating revenue.
• Cash Flow Reserve sets aside approximately $14.9 million or 9.8% of the total FY 11 Approved Budget for emergency and unforeseen circumstances to ensure sufficient cash to pay the bills.
• Debt Service Reserve – Through this reserve fund, money can be earmarked to address unanticipated “peaks” in debt service costs or buy down debt service costs as the annual payments begin to decrease. In FY 10, monies from this reserve were combined with monies from the Rainy Day Fund to “shave the peak” in debt service over a 6 year period. Because of this, there are no funds in this reserve for FY 11.
• Landfill Post Closure Reserve – The Landfill Closure reserve sets aside monies for the costs associated with monitoring and remediation of a landfill after it is closed in order to meet the requirements of the Department of Environmental Quality. The reserve is $250,000, and $59,150 may be needed in FY 10 for remediation costs.
• Facilities and Maintenance Reserve – This reserve fund earmarks monies for facilities and general
maintenance items. This reserve differs from the Capital Reserve in that the Capital Reserve focuses on major capital projects designed to meet long-term needs. Items supported through this reserve would be for purchases that are considered a part of general operations such as machinery, equipment, general repairs, and upkeep of facilities and grounds. The reserve is $723,000.
• Capital Reserve – This account reserves funds for transfer to support projects in the Capital Budget.
The reserve is $500,000.
• Technology Reserve – This account reserves funds for technology projects and infrastructure requirements from monies remaining from the Information Technology Department budget at year end. The reserve is $131,493.
• Rainy Day Fund – In FY 09, this account was established and reserved $1,000,000 to adjust for unanticipated financial issues. $229,920 was used to offset the state “flexible cut” in FY 09. $550,000 of the fund was used in FY 10 to offset $175,000 in debt service costs over a six year period. An additional $131,480 was also used in FY 10 to cover additional state reductions. The remaining balance in this reserve for FY 11 is $88,600. Additional monies from the real estate
REVENUE SUMMARY FY 11
Revenue Summary, Page 11
windfall of approximately $1 million will be added to the Rainy Day Fund after June real estate collections are analyzed.
Conclusions
• The approved real estate tax rate is set at 74 cents for the FY 11 Budget, representing a three cent tax rate increase.
• The change in the motor vehicle value from loan to trade is included in the FY 11 Approved Budget.
• Given the uncertainty of the ability to meet the current year revenue estimates combined with the unknown impact of all state agency reductions on the County’s revenue, the revenue stabilization fund is intended to enable the County to react positively to future circumstances.

REASSESSMENT
Division Description As required by the Code of Virginia, Montgomery County will conduct a general reassessment that is
effective for 2011. Montgomery County is required to reassess all real property at least once every four
years. The assessed values for every parcel of real estate (undeveloped land and one or more buildings) in
Montgomery County, including parcels in Blacksburg and Christiansburg will be made publicly available.
The Code of Virginia requires that all property be assessed at 100% of market value. This is the value used
to calculate property taxes, which are the product of the assessed value and the tax rate.

TREASURER – COMPENSATION BOARD
Division Description
The Treasurer is an elected constitutional officer responsible for collecting all County revenue, including
Federal and State funds; ensuring County funds are adequately safeguarded; submitting financial reports to
the state and County; and authorizing County disbursements. This division accounts for the costs shared
between the State Compensation Board and the County for the operations of the Treasurer’s Office.
Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each
division/department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows
how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The base budget includes funding for a 12% increase
for health insurance, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in
group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase
in unemployment insurance rates. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11.
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.
($142,260) is Reduced From the Treasurer’s Compensation Board Revenue Budget – This reduction
is made to reflect the state budget reductions contained in the Governor’s budget. This reduction is a
65% reduction in state revenue and eliminates all state support for staff and operations with the
exception of the constitutional officer. Giving priority to preserving public safety services, no
additional revenue was restored during the development of the approved state budget as additional
state aid to locality reductions, also known as flexible cuts, were incorporated in the Treasurer’s
budget for FY 11.
($96,431) and Five FTE are Reduced From the Treasurer’s Compensation Board Budget Due to a
Reduction in State Funding – The Governor’s proposed budget eliminated all state support for staff
and operations within the Treasurer’s state budget, with the exception of the constitutional officer. In
FY 10, the Treasurer’s compensation board budget employed nine state funded positions, including
the constitutional officer and additional eight County funded positions were included in Division 162,
Collections. Through the approved budget, the County is providing local dollars to restore three of the
eight positions cut by the state. Effective January 1, 2011, five positions will be eliminated, leaving
four state funded positions and eight County funded positions. Giving priority to preserving public
safety services, no additional revenue was restored during the development of the approved state
budget as additional state aid to locality reductions, also known as flexible cuts, were incorporated in
the Treasurer’s budget for FY 11.

Division Description
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office safeguards life, liberty, and property, and maintains civil order. To
serve these purposes, the Sheriff's Office appoints the necessary personnel to enforce the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and the County of Montgomery. Through its appointed personnel, the Office of
Sheriff provides uniformed patrols and security for civil process, corrections and courtrooms; conducts
motor vehicle accident investigations and criminal investigations; and provides for the protection of life,
liberty and property as needed by the citizens of Montgomery County. The division also provides financial
reports and statistical information to the locality and the state. This division is designed to show the costs
shared between the state and the county for operations of the Sheriff’s Office.
Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each
division/department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows
how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The base budget includes funding for a 12% increase
for health insurance, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in
group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase
in unemployment insurance rates. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11.
Base FTE Shift – A total of 5 Full-time Equivalent (FTE) positions have been shifted from the
Sheriff’s Compensation Board budget to the Sheriff’s County budget. This shift has occurred in
preparation for the development of a Regional 911 Emergency Communications Authority, in
conjunction with the Towns of Christiansburg and Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. When this center
opens, the dispatcher positions will transfer to the new center. In preparation, the Sheriff requested
state funding be applied to other positions and operational costs and allow County funding to support
the dispatcher positions. The Compensation Board has approved this request.
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.
($124,202) is Reduced From the Sheriff’s Compensation Board Revenue Budget – A total of
$124,202 is reduced from the Sheriff’s state Compensation Board revenue budget for FY 11 to reflect
the state budget reductions contained in the Governor’s budget. This is an overall reduction of 3% of
state funding from the base budget of $4,018,459. Giving priority to preserving public safety services,
additional revenue provided by the state during the development of the approved state budget has
restored $735,185 of an original proposed budget reduction of $859,387.
SHERIFF – COMPENSATION BOARD
($33,104) is Reduced From the Sheriff’s Jail Block Revenue Budget – A total of $33,104 is reduced
from the Sheriff’s state Jail Block revenue budget for FY 11 to reflect the state budget reductions
contained in the Governor’s budget. This represents a 50% reduction in per diem rates from $8 to $4.
Giving priority to preserving public safety services, additional revenue provided by the state during
the development of the approved state budget has restored $19,570 of an original proposed budget
reduction of $52,674.
($37,399) is Reduced to Reflect One FTE Held Vacant Due to the County Hiring Freeze – At the
beginning of FY 10, the County instituted a hiring freeze on vacant positions. The Sheriff’s
Compensation Board Budget currently has one vacant position which the Sheriff has elected to hold
vacant. This addendum captures the dollars saved from holding this position vacant for FY 11.

GENERAL SERVICES
Division Description The Division of General Services is responsible for auxiliary and operational support services for all County
divisions. Services are provided through the departments of, Buildings and Grounds, Housekeeping, Public
Facilities Administration, Engineering, and Internal Services departments. The division is also responsible
for the departmental operations of Animal Control, Solid Waste Collection, and Inspections.
Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each
division/department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows
how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The base budget includes funding for a 12% increase
for health insurance, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in
group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase
in unemployment insurance rates. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11.
Base Motor Vehicle Insurance Adjustments – $2,377 is reduced from the base budget to reflect a 13%
decrease in motor vehicle insurance premiums for FY 11.
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.
$42,102 is Added to the General Services Revenue Budget – This increase is the result of adjustments
to all local fee revenue lines in the General Services budget. As shown in the chart below, the main
increase in revenue is the result of the new courthouse maintenance fee. According to the Code of
Virginia 17.1-281, any County that operated, on or after January 1, 2008, a courthouse that is not in
compliance with the Virginia Courthouse Facility Guidelines, as certified by the State Department of
General Services, could assess an additional $3 dollar fee, on top of an existing $2 dollar fee, for
courthouse maintenance. The County began assessing this fee in January of 2010. This increase
added $63,502, while other categories decreased $21,400, resulting in a net increase of $42,102.
$54,280 is Added for Increased Electricity Costs –This increase is based on average usage in all
County facilities, and an inflationary factor that was calculated using the U.S. Department of Energy's
cost estimates.

Revenue Adjustments
GENERAL SERVICES
($68,465) is Reduced to Reflect 2.6 FTE Held Vacant Due to the County Hiring Freeze – At the
beginning of FY 10, the County instituted a hiring freeze on vacant positions. The General Services
Division currently has 2.6 vacant positions which are frozen. This addendum captures the dollars
saved from keeping one maintenance worker position and one housekeeper position vacant for FY 11.
Dollars associated with a site attendant position (.6 FTE) have been reallocated to offset wages
associated with non-classified employee hours necessary to keep the consolidated sites open as
scheduled.

in an attempt to improve coordination, eliminate duplication of services, and ensure that costly residential
care was provided only in cases where it was clearly warranted. The law requires localities to establish
Community Policy and Management teams and Family Assessment and Planning teams to administer the
program. The law also mandates that certain groups of children receive services, primarily special education
and foster care children. The County is required to provide a local match for all expenditures.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Division Description
The Parks and Recreation Division is responsible for offering recreational opportunities for the citizens of
Montgomery County. The Division's mission is to provide quality, customer valued recreation programs and
facilities that engage participants and add value to the quality of life of the citizens of Montgomery County.
The Division offers programming and facilities in the following recreation service areas: Aquatics; Athletics
and Team Sports; Youth, Adult and Senior Wellness and Education; Outdoor Recreation; Tours; Special
Events; and Summer Programs.
Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each
division/department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows
how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The base budget includes funding for a 12% increase
for health insurance, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in
group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase
in unemployment insurance rates. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11.
$2,200 Base Budget Shift – A total of $2,200 has been shifted from the personal services budget to the
operations and maintenance budget for FY 11. In prior years, the $2,200 was earmarked for
compensation of boards; however, the commission elected to defer member payment in lieu of
providing a meal at the regular meetings. These funds have been permanently moved from the
personal services budget to the operations and maintenance budget to reflect the actual use of funds.
Base Motor Vehicle Insurance Adjustments – $522 is reduced from the base budget to reflect a 13%
decrease in motor vehicle insurance premiums for FY 11.
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Division Description
The Economic Development Division serves as the primary marketing resource for the County and two
towns to generate taxable capital investment and meaningful job creation. The Board of Supervisors has
adopted a long-range Economic Development Strategic Plan to guide and focus resources. The plan outlines
five major program goals: recruitment of new industry, retention and expansion of existing business and
industry, market research, workforce development and product (sites and buildings) development. The
division works closely with the Economic Development Authority, Economic Development Commission,
and the MBC Development Corporation serving both as staff and partners in attracting new investment to the
County, as well as supporting the success of existing businesses. The Division also partners with the towns
of Blacksburg and Christiansburg to develop appropriate business inside the towns.
Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each
division/department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows
how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The base budget includes funding for a 12% increase
for health insurance, a 5% increase in Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rates, a 40% increase in
group life insurance rates, a 23% decrease in workers’ compensation insurance, and a 250% increase
in unemployment insurance rates. All other fringe benefit rates remain unchanged for FY 11.
Base Motor Vehicle Insurance Adjustments – $76 is reduced from the base budget to reflect a 13%
decrease in motor vehicle insurance premiums for FY 11.
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.

Budget Discussion
PAYMENTS TO HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES
$345,524 is included for the New River Valley Detention Home, an increase of $40,490 – A total of
$345,524 is included for the New River Detention Home (NRVDH). The agency received a total of
$305,034 in the FY 10 budget. The NRVDH’s request for FY 11 is $345,524 which includes
$330,731 for operations based on the County’s usage of the facility and $14,793 which is level
capital funding based on the County’s ownership of the facility. In the FY 09 request, the formula for
determining operating contributions was changed to allocate costs among participant jurisdictions on
the basis of days used, averaged over a 2.5 year period. Under the revised formula, Montgomery
County’s billed usage for the facility for FY11 is 60.0%, an increase of 6.29% over the billed usage
for FY10 of 53.71%. In addition, the Commission is requesting funds to cover the capital costs of
facility repairs and equipment replacements. The facility is over 30 years old and requires upgrades
and equipment for licensure compliance. Owner jurisdictions are asked to contribute capital funding
based on their percentage of ownership in the facility. Undesignated surplus funds at year end will
also be placed in the capital fund with a goal of accumulating monies over the next five years to
cover the required facility upgrades. A total of $25,000 is requested from all jurisdictions for FY11.
Since Montgomery County’s share of ownership is 59.17%, $14,793 is requested. The increase
requested from Montgomery County, including operating and capital funding, is $40,490, and full
funding is provided.
$30,994 is included for the NRV Free Clinic – A total of $30,994 is included for the NRV Free Clinic
for FY 11. The agency received $30,994 in the FY 10 budget, and the clinic requested level funding
for this fiscal year. The clinic provides medical and dental care as well as pharmaceuticals to
uninsured citizens of the New River Valley who live below the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The Free
Clinic requests $25 for each client served. In FY 11, Montgomery County is projected to provide
64% of the local government resources in the New River Valley to the Free Clinic with 66% of total
projected clients served. The table on the next page shows the detail behind prior year funding as
well as the FY 11 requests. In addition, the County provides the building at 215 Roanoke Street
which was renovated for the clinic. Assuming the Free Clinic had to rent space equivalent to the
building provided by the County, the rental costs would likely exceed $64,352 (8,044 square feet X
$8.00).

is included for Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program – A total of $81,096 is included
for the New River Community Action and the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program.
The New River Community Action (NRCA) agency serves low-income residents of Montgomery,
Pulaski, Floyd, and Giles Counties and the City of Radford. The agency’s goal is eliminating
poverty. NRCA requests $57,007 for FY 11, which is level funding. As shown in the table below,
the County would provide 32% of the funding for this agency while the percentage of clients served
is projected at only 30%. In addition, NRCA will maintain its tax exempt status yielding $3,948 in
available dollars. Therefore, a reduction in funding is approved to bring the percentage of funding
provided in line with the proportion of clients served. The County funds also support a Community
Service Worker position in NRCA that administers the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance
Program (MCEAP). MCEAP partners with NRCA to provide emergency assistance to County
residents only. In FY 10 MCEAP received $30,471. MCEAP requests $38,468, an increase of
$7,997, to cover an increase in salary, fringe benefits and indirect charges. Due to budget constraints,
the County is unable to provide additional funding at this time. $30,471 is provided for the
Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program.
$37,381 is included for the Women’s Resource Center, which is a $9,631 or 20% decrease – A total
of $37,381 is included for the Women’s Resource Center for FY 11. The agency received $47,012 in

below. As shown in the table below and on the following page the County would provide almost
48% of the funding for this agency while the percentage of clients served is projected at only 42%.
Therefore, a reduction in funding is approved to bring the percentage of funding provided in line with
the proportion of clients served.

through its facilities or in hotel rooms, to 30% of those seeking shelter. Others seeking shelter can
receive either out-of-town shelter services or bus tickets to other lodging arrangements. Last year
approximately 80% of clients residing in established shelter space moved into permanent housing
upon leaving the shelter. The Shelter has the potential to serve all localities in the New River Valley.
Other New River Valley localities have not historically been asked to fund the shelter due to the
negligible number of clients outside of Montgomery County.

CONTINGENCIES - SPECIAL
Division Description
This Division provides for contingency reserves to pay for unanticipated expenditures that arise during the
year that have not been included in the budget or expenditures that have been approved but the details of the
expenditure have yet to be resolved. The County has two types of contingencies – General and Special. The
General Contingency is established to pay for unknown and unanticipated expenditures that arise during the
year that have not been included in the budget. The Special Contingency serves as a holding account for
known issues/expenditures of which the details have yet to be resolved.
Base Budget Discussion
Special Contingencies serves as a ―holding account‖ by setting dollars aside until issues are resolved, and
monies—if needed—are distributed among the appropriate functions. There is no actual base budget for this
Division. Funds held in Special Contingencies that are not used within the fiscal year revert to General Fund
Balance at year end. For fiscal year 2010, funds were held in this account and distributed among
departments as needed for the following:
$50,000 is Held to Cover Additional Local Matching Costs for the Comprehensive Services Act – A
total of $50,000 is held in abeyance for local matching costs in excess of the amount included in the
Comprehensive Services Act Division Budget-510 based on historical expenditures and the County's
28.34% local match. If these funds are not needed, the funding will return to the County's General
Fund Balance. This amount was reduced 50% from the $100,000 previously held. A detailed
explanation can be found under the Comprehensive Services Act budget (Tab 510).
Addenda and Reduction Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital. Approved
addenda items are generally for new and/or expanded services/initiatives. Reductions reflect dollars reduced
in revenue and/or expense necessary to address a shortfall in the general fund revenue.
$262,500 is Added for Retirement Incentives – This increase is included in the Special Contingencies
budget to reflect dollars included for a retirement incentive program. Suggested incentives such as
sharing in the cost of health insurance premiums may result in future budget savings should
employees chose to retire and their positions be held vacant.

Budget Discussion
$88,616,820 is provided for the School Operating Fund – $88,616,820 in total funding is provided for
the School Operating Fund, which represents a decrease of $7,807,904 from the FY 10 Approved
Budget. Of this amount, County General Fund Dollars total $35,714,191, an increase of $610,211
from the FY 10 Approved Budget. State funding reductions have reduced the Schools’ operating
budget by $9,143,334. Recognizing the shortfall in County revenue, the School Board’s proposed
budget included a 2% or $702,080 reduction in County dollars. To help offset the state reductions,
funding is provided to restore the $702,080 reduction proposed by the schools and adds an additional
$610,211. This addition provides a $1,312,291 net increase over the School Board’s proposed budget
for FY 11. The approved budget also reflects the inclusion of $641,519 in one-time only funds as
adopted by the School Board.
$3,804,715 is provided for the School Cafeteria Fund – $3,804,715 in total funding is provided for

how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs approved in the current fiscal
year.
($1,262,226) is Removed from the Base Budget – The base budget is adjusted each year to cover the
cost of principal, interest and administrative fees associated with long-term debt.
o The FY 10 budget included a one-time transfer of $1,050,000 from the General Fund to
provide funds to shave the peak of debt service costs over six years. $175,000 of these funds
will be used in FY 11 to offset debt service.
o An additional $300,000 was reduced due to debt service savings resulting from the planned
issuance of interest free Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB) rather than Literary
Loan debt at an interest rate of 3%.
o The use of funds generated by the four cents of the tax rate previously set aside increased
$20,338, for a total of $1,893,883.
o The planned use of interest earnings is reduced by $107,564 due to a projected decrease in
interest rates.
These adjustments were made to reconcile the base budget to the amount of funding required to fund
FY 11 debt service requirements.
$352,692 in One-time Only Funding is Included as a Contingency – These funds are one-time only
funds that will be used in future years to cover debt service costs. The debt service schedule assumed
interest earnings would pay a portion of debt payments in future years. The issuance of QSCB bond
payments rather than Literary Loan debt has deferred the first debt service payment until FY 12.
Given the low interest rates, a one-time contingency fund will be used to offset interest earnings if
they are lower than expected.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY CAPITAL
Division Description
The County Capital Fund is used to fund the capital costs of future County capital project needs. Dollars
earmarked for this fund will be used in future years for County capital needs.
Budget Discussion
$340,000 or One-Half Cent of the Real Estate Tax Rate is Earmarked for Fire and Rescue Capital –
$340,000 or one half cent of the real estate tax rate has been earmarked for Fire and Rescue Capital
equipment. One cent of the real estate tax rate is estimated to generate $680,000. In FY 09, the
County set aside one cent of the tax rate to provide the Fire and Rescue Commission with an ongoing
source of cash-to-capital funding to fund fire and rescue equipment needs. However, due to the
current shortfall of General Fund revenue, this was reduced to a half cent of the real estate tax rate for
FY 10 and is continued at a half cent for FY 11.
