Governing and Management Non- Departmentals - continued <br />Health Insurance Increase $226,444 <br />Funds for anticipated health insurance increase. Recommended funding for FY 2013 -14 will <br />allow for an 8% increase in health insurance premiums, effective January 1, 2014. <br />Manager's Miscellaneous $20,000 <br />This account provides funds for miscellaneous, non - budgeted expenditures that often arise <br />during the fiscal year. It provides the Manager with the flexibility to handle small non - budgeted <br />items as they occur immediately. This account prevents requesting small expenditures from the <br />Board of Commissioners' contingency account. <br />Meeting Support Supplies $0 <br />Funds for supplies and meal costs for Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) related <br />meetings. Historically, funds were paid from this line item, but beginning with the FY 2011 -12 <br />Commissioner Approved Budget these funds were moved to the BOCC's budget. <br />Recruitment and Selection $28,500 <br />Funds to cover costs of the recruitment and selection process for positions at and above the <br />department head level. Increase of $13,500 based on FY 2012 -13 actuals and anticipated <br />vacancies in senior level positions, which will require external panel selection participants, travel <br />reimbursement and relocation expenses. <br />Referendum Education $0 <br />Funds to cover costs of an education campaign related to the Article 46 ('/4 cent) Sales Tax vote <br />in the November 2011 election. <br />Reserve from Revaluation Savings $0 <br />In fiscal year 2012 -13 the Board of Commissioners delayed the revaluation, deviating from the <br />previous four -year cycle. The $350,000 savings represents the additional costs to the <br />revaluation fund during a revaluation year. <br />Retiree Health Insurance $2,026,919 <br />These funds provide for health insurance for County retirees who are eligible under Orange <br />County's Personnel Ordinance. The projected increase is due to a higher number of retirees <br />and an anticipated 10% increase in the cost for both Medicare and the group insurance <br />premiums. As the retiree population ages, the Medicare Plan F premiums also increase based <br />on the retirees' ages. <br />Fiscal <br />Year <br />Retirees During <br />Fiscal Year <br />Retiree Health <br />Insurance <br />Change from <br />Prior Year <br />2010 -11 <br />18 <br />$1,352,193 <br />22.82% <br />2011 -12 <br />23 <br />$1,506,702 <br />11.43% <br />2012 -13 <br />11 <br />$1,522,067 <br />1.02% <br />2013 -14 <br />24 <br />$2,026,919 <br />33.17% <br />all IN <br />
