County of Monterey Recommended Budget
Historical Perspective
2
In the February 2009 Forecast, Monterey County staff forecasted a general fund structural deficit of $65.4 million to emerge by 2011-12.
In response, the Board adopted reductions totaling $25.7 million and 209 positions as part of its 2009-10 adopted budget.
Over the next four years, the County chipped away at its structural deficit, cutting another 123 positions and reducing General Fund Contributions (GFC) by another $11.7 million, for a four year total reduction of 332 positions and $37.4 million in GFC.
Monterey County’s employees helped minimize impacts of these reductions; miscellaneous employees now contribute 3.5% of salary towards their retirement, while safety employees pay an additional 4.5%.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY: Top administrator expects196 layoffs
Riverside County’s top administrator said Wednesday that as many as 196 county jobs may have to be eliminated in the coming months because, despite ongoing cuts, expenses still outstrip revenue.In the first of two days of hearings on budget plans for 2012-13, county supervisors heard that and other unwelcome news, including the possibility of cutbacks in fire protection. The second hearing, covering the Sheriff ’s Department and district attorney’s office, is scheduled for 9 a.m. today in the board chambers, 4080 Lemon St., Riverside.
Interim County Executive Officer Larry Parrish said the hearings are intended to provide “an overview of a strategy to handle what we’ve got in the way of an extremely complex and difficult set of circumstances.”Parrish is asking for layoff plans from department heads by May 1. Formal budget hearings are in June.In a memo to the supervisors, Parrish wrote that despite signs of economic recovery, “the revenue needed to sustain a full fiscal recovery of our county’s budget is not expected for several years.”

About 100 employees of Santa Cruz Counseling Center on furlough due to federal sequesters
SANTA CRUZ -- Fewer than 1 percent of the jobs in Santa Cruz County involve working for a federal agency, yet the federal sequester requiring cuts of $85 billion as of March 1 to trim the deficit is hitting home at a local nonprofit.The pain is being felt at the Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center, which expanded Head Start for children ages 3 to 5 and Early Head Start for those younger than age 3, with federal stimulus funds three years ago.The two programs locally were operating with a budget of $7.9 million to serve 900 children until a memo arrived in April.
"They issued a memo saying you need to cut 5.19 percent off the top," said Cynthia Sloane, director of child and family development programs at the Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center. "We had only seven months to make up this money because of our fiscal year starting November 1.“
To pare the budget, about 100 employees are being furloughed.

STATE BUDGET CUTS FORCE TULARE COUNTY TO CUTThe recently signed state budget calls for a 10 percent across the board reduction to Child Welfare Services – a drastic cut that officials announced Thursday will mean unavoidable cuts for local programs run by the Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency.
"Tulare County has done everything within our power to minimize the local impact of the cuts put into place by Governor Schwarzenegger and the Legislature, but layoffs look to be unavoidable," said Phil Cox, Chairman of the Tulare County Board of Supervisors. "The Agency implemented many cost-cutting measures earlier this year in anticipation of the Governor’s actions, such as freezing positions, but the state program reductions are too deep to absorb locally."
The State of California budget reductions mean severe cuts to the Health & Human Services Agency's grants and allocations, including a $2 million cut from CWS funding, and an additional $18 million cut from the agency's overall budget. The $2 million CWS cut could mean as many as 55 layoffs.
"We’re going to do everything we can to preserve public services and local jobs," said Cox. "From under filling positions, to moving staff members across departments within the Health & Human Services Agency, we will use every tool we have to save as many positions as possible."

Historically state & federal aid provided over half of general fund revenue.
However, state & federal revenues for behavioral health programs, previously part of the general fund, now reside in the new behavioral health fund.
The decline over the last two fiscal years reflects the loss of federal stimulus monies and state budget reductions.
Program vs. Non-Program Revenue
18County of Monterey | County Administrative Office | June 5, 2013
Approximately two-thirds of the County’s general fund revenues is legally restricted to specific activities.
Examples include federal & state aid for health & social services programs, charges supporting planning & building programs, and entrance fees for support of parks operations & maintenance.
Non-program revenues comprise the other one-third of general fund revenue and are the County’s only true source of discretionary funds.
Primary sources of non-program revenue include property taxes, TOT, & sales and use tax.
The Board appropriates these revenues as general fund contributions (GFC) to supplement departments’ program revenues.

General Fund Contributions (GFC) represent discretionary funding appropriated by the Board to supplement department’s program revenues.
The Board allocates almost half of available GFC to support the public safety function and has taken significant steps to protect this function to the extent possible during the last four years of budget reductions.
As a percent of the countywide total, GFC for the public safety function has grown from 40.6% in the 2008-09 adopted budget, before budget reductions took place, to 48.7% in the 2013-14 recommended budget.
During the same time period, most other functional areas have seen significant declines due to the County’s loss of non-program revenues.

Augmentation Highlights – Public Safety (Continued)
The Board has made considerable effort to protect public safety functions, including the District Attorney & Public Defender budgets, from the impacts of the recession.
Since 2007-08, total GFC for support of departments has fallen $28.7 million (13.9%).
During this same period, GFC for the DA & PD each increased by $1.8 million.
The recommended budget provides $9.1 million in GFC for the DA & $9.2 million for the PD.
Although caseloads have declined since the pre-recession years, overall staffing levels for both offices have increased as part to the Board’s commitment to public safety.

The Recommended Budget includes 4,676 positions, increasing by 161 positions (3.7%) since adoption of the 2012-13 budget.
Many of the recommended position augmentations support areas that leverage federal and state funding, particularly in the health and social services function which is preparing to implement ACA.
However, overall staffing levels remain below pre-recession levels while, at the same time, the County has been required to take on additional responsibilities from the State under “realignment” and ACA.

MillionsOver the past decade, PERS retirement costs doubled, rising from $19.8 million in 2003-04 to $40.9 million by 2009-10.
Since that time, salaries have flattened in the absence of pay raises and through staffing reductions achieved through attrition.
In addition, employees now contribute towards their retirement.
The combination of these factors reduced general fund PERS payments to $32.7 million in 2012-13.
For 2013-14, expenditures increase due to higher PERS contribution rates and increases in staffing related to the filling of vacancies and position augmentations.

In April 2013, CalPERS adopted changes to its rate smoothing & amortization policies.
The new policies will accelerate rate growth to pay down unfunded liabilities at a faster pace.
The effect will be an increase in general fund expenditures of $2.8 million in 2015-16, ramping up to a $14.3 million annual increase over the following four years before leveling off.

In total, PERS expenditures will grow between $2.8 million and $8.3 million in 2015-16, ramping up to an annual increase of $14.3 million to $25.3 million over the five-year phase-in.
This level of rate growth could consume the potential growth in the County’s discretionary revenue over the next five years.

County-Paid Employee Health Insurance Costs
Expenditures for employee health insurance are budgeted to increase $3.9 million in 2013-14 due to a 16% increase in premiums as of 1/1/2013.
Assuming premiums continue growing at a more conservative annual rate of 5.6% (the 2000-2010 average), the County’s health insurance costs would rise by another $2.3 million in 2014-15 and an additional $2.5 million in 2015-16.
These increases will add significant pressure to operating budgets.

Recommendations (Continued)
4. Authorize the County Administrative Office and Auditor-Controller, in the event that any unbudgeted fund balance is available as determined through the final audited year-end FY 2012-13, to allocate such fund balance in the following order of priority:
a) Increase the Public Safety Sales Tax assignment by $376,910 which totals the
amount of FY 2012-13 Public Safety Sales Tax contributions delayed due to agreements with County fire districts.
b) Increase Strategic Reserve, to equal established Board policy of 10% of estimated FY 2013-14 General Fund revenue.
c) Increase Accrued Leave Assignment not to exceed 30% of FY 2012-13 reported Compensated Absences liability to provide gap funding for retirements and payroll buyouts that exceed the ability of General Fund departments to cover within current operations.
d) Capital Assignment for all remaining unbudgeted fund balance.
55County of Monterey | County Administrative Office | June 5, 2013
Recommendations (Continued)
5.Authorize the County Administrative Office to adjust the FY 2013-14 Adopted Budgets for the Other Funds under the authority of the Board of Supervisors to reflect the FY 2012-13 year-end final Available Fund Balance. 6.Direct the County Administrative Office, after adoption of the FY 2013-14 State Budget, to return to the Board of Supervisors, if necessary, with a modified County Budget that takes into account the impacts of the State Budget and realignment of State responsibilities to counties.
