Orange County, NC <br />Financial Plan & Rate Study for Solid Waste Enterprise Fund <br />2.1.8 Model Results <br />Exhibit 12 shows the Modeled Budgetary Gap for Scenario 1 and the break -even Program Fees <br />for Scenario 2 for FY 2016 -17 to FY 2020 -21, all of which reflect a continuance of the General <br />Fund contribution. In addition to developing the Test Year revenue requirements, SCS forecasted <br />the annual revenue requirement for FY 2016 -17 to FY 2020 -21 based on the projected annual <br />expenses. The assumptions used to develop the forecast for Fund reserves and expenses are <br />presented in Appendix C. These forecasted revenues and expenses were utilized with the Rate <br />Model to calculate the Fund's potential annual net revenue /deficit or break -even Program Fee, <br />depending on the scenario. Note that the Program Fee was back - calculated using an optimization <br />algorithm. Complete financial model results highlighting the Fund's projected annual net <br />revenue /deficits are presented in Appendix F. <br />Exhibit 12.

Allocations to the <br />respective Department Divisions were made proportionally based on the expenses of those <br />divisions and were calculated with the net output of the Model. This "Division Budgetary <br />Leveling" should be considered for clarity and reference purposes only and is not a financial <br />recommendation. <br />20 <br />
