The 2015-16 operating budget of approximately $57.1 million is $4.9M or 9% more than the current year’s adopted budget. This increase can be attributed to an increase in budgeted contingency for 2016-17. Contingency reflects a budgetary reserve that is set aside for emergencies or unforeseen expenditures not otherwise budgeted. The unappropriated fund balance reflects a $3,966,800 reserve account in the Special Projects Fund for General Fund supported activities in the event timber revenues provided for operations fall short in future years and $1,507,900 in the General Fund that will be needed to meet current expenditure levels in the following fiscal year. Wages and employee benefits will cost an estimated $20.7 million in 2016-17. Materials and supplies total $11.2 million; Capital Outlay $2.5 million, Special Payments total $2.6 million, Debt Service $189 thousand, and Contingencies $16.7 million. This budget provides $3.2 million in interfund transfers. In addition to property taxes, other major revenues anticipated to finance these services are state and federal grant payments of $10.1 million most of which are restricted to specific uses such as the $2.6 million in state collected gas and registration tax used for road purposes, the $2.1 million received for the parole and probation services and the $1.8 million provided for developmental disability and mental health services. Other major revenues are state forest timber sales, estimated at $3.9 million; charges for services, $1.9 million; and the beginning fund balances totaling $25.1 million. The tax rate for the fair district local option levy is $.050/$1,000 as a result of a voter approved ballot measure that extended the local option levy for an additional 5 years starting in FY 2016-17. The 2016-17 budget provides for a total of 207.5 FTE positions compared to the 204.1 provided in the 2015-16 budget and 200.6 in the 2014-15 FY. SPECIAL DISTRICTS: In addition to the general county government budget, Clatsop County manages the independent budgets of four special districts. Each district is governed by the Board of County Commissioners. All but the Road District also include advisory committees of local citizens. The Westport Sewer Service District is the only district that has payment of a loan received in 2006 in the total amount of $112,250. Road District No. 1: In 1988, voters approved a road district tax base. These monies are transferred to the Road Department to support an increased level of maintenance and construction. This budget anticipates receipt of $1.9 million in property tax revenue and $1.3 million in timber revenue. Westport Sewer District: The District operates the Westport sewer system and wastewater treatment plant serving about 90 connections. It is funded entirely by user fees. The 2016-17 budget has increased $30,000 from the 2015-16 budget due to an increase in contingency. This budget includes $6,200 equipment maintenance. The district employs .26 FTE in part-time district employees. 4-H & Extension District: The District supports the OSU Extension Service by providing additional funds for extension education programs and information services. Services are provided by OSU employees who assist the extension agents in 4-H and other programs. This budget anticipates receipt of $285,960 in property tax revenue and $66,660 in timber revenue. Rural Law Enforcement District: The District levied its first property taxes in 1995-96 on property located outside an incorporated city. The monies are used to enhance the level of law enforcement services in rural areas of the County. This budget anticipates receipt of $1.3 million in property tax revenue at the full tax rate. In addition, timber revenue of $898,220 is anticipated.
