Revenue Components as Portions of Total Revenue (FY 2016-17) <br /> (chart) <br /> Baseline (Status Quo) Scenario <br /> • 5-Year Projections <br /> • Maintains Revenues <br /> o SW Programs Fee — $107/parcel <br /> o Appropriated Fund Balance — Excludes sources other than loan proceeds in last <br /> 4 years <br /> • Estimated Fund Deficit of$1.8 Million addressed by Appropriated Fund Balance in FY <br /> 2016-17 only <br /> Commissioner McKee referred to the deficit for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, noting an <br /> increase of about $100,000 each year. He asked if there is a reason for the jump in those <br /> years. He said the solid waste balance appropriation is going down, but the deficit is <br /> increasing. <br /> Bob Dick said any place where there is not a direct correlation between the indication of <br /> a diminishing appropriated fund balance contribution, and the ultimate deficit, is most likely <br /> attributed to capital projects that are to be completed in that individual year. He said the <br /> department is in the process of modernizing some of the solid waste collection centers. He <br /> said the operation costs tend to change in a uniform nature, and any substantial changes are <br /> due to larger equipment purchases, or an upgrade or modernization of a collection center. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if the current general fund contribution, listed at $2 million, is the <br /> total of the fee collected. <br /> Bob Dick said no. He said the Solid Waste Assessment fee, at $107 per parcel, yields <br /> about $6.5 million, which is included in the top line revenues. He said this current general fund <br /> contribution is an allocation that the County has made historically each year. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if$2 million is in addition to the $6.5 million that is generated by <br /> the fees. <br /> Bob Dick said yes. He resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Baseline (Status Quo) Scenario <br /> • FY 2016-17 <br /> Enterprise Fund Deficit = $3.8 Million <br /> - General Fund (GF) Contribution= $2.0 Million <br /> - SW Fund Balance = $1.8 Million <br /> Yields Balanced SW Budget = $0 <br /> • FY 2017-18 <br /> Enterprise Fund Deficit = $4.0 Million <br /> - Current GF Contribution = $2.0 Million <br /> - SW Fund Balance* = $0.5 Million <br />
