Stephen White [email protected] Joe Skinner Don Seifert Phone (406) 585-3000 Fax (406) 582-3003 Final Budget Message August 25, 2015 Residents of Gallatin County: This document is the Final Operating, Capital Equipment and Projects Budget for Gallatin County, Montana for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 (FY 2016). The document represents the County’s continued efforts to provide and maintain quality services to citizens while maintaining or reducing the costs to provide those services. The FY 2016 Final Budget demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to balancing the budget and maintaining the County’s long-term financial stability, while keeping tax increases to a minimum. Some changes to the budget from the previous year that are noteworthy include an increase in County staffing levels and an increase to taxes. The budget includes an increase of 8.09 Full Time Equivalents (FTE) in County Tax Supported Funds and a decrease of 4.12 FTE in Non Tax Supported Funds. The result is an overall increase of 3.97 FTE. Unfortunately, the Commission has found that taxes need to increase by $1,076,149 for Operating Budgets and $129,430 for Permissive Medical Levy. The increases in taxes are necessary to support Deputy County Attorney cost increases, Pre-Trial Officer, Detention Officer, Planning Assistant, Sheriff Grant Match costs, and Treasurer Motor Vehicle Clerk along with health insurance premium increases. While the budget does increase taxes by 4.36%, the Commissioners did not levy an additional $2,339,055 (8.1%) in permitted taxes. For FY 2016, the Commission undertook a major project to overhaul the Performance Management system for the County. In consultation with the Government Finance Officers Association, the Commission established a set of priorities captured in the following five (5) citizen-centered statements: • I want to support an effective and efficient government; • I want to be safe; • I want to know all residents have the ability to be healthy; • I want to have sustainable infrastructure; and, • I want to promote the Gallatin County culture. The County is continuing to expand on this project with the goal of full implementation in the FY 2017 Budget. A brief summary of the Final Budget follows. 9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Budget Message Overview of Budgeted Resources The following table depicts beginning balances, estimated revenues, approved expenditures, and projected ending balances for the budget year. All funds of the County are included in the Final budget. The table reflects estimated revenues of $84.3 million, budgeted expenditures of $137.2 Million, resulting in a decrease in the ending balance of $52.9 million. Explanations of the significant changes in fund and cash balances (those greater than 10%) for each of the major fund groups are found immediately following the table.

Two factors that will mitigate the potential use of working capital are: o The County utilizes conservative revenue estimates with actual revenues normally coming in higher (121.81% in FY 2015). o The approved budget is the maximum spending limits for departments.
