It is my privilegeto present thebalancedbudget for thefiscal year beginning July 1, 2021, andending June30, 2022, whichtotals $262,981,010.TheannualbudgetisthepolicydocumentthatcommunicatesthefinancialpoliciesoftheCityforthefiscalyear.The budget is prepared each year with the support and policy input of our elected officials and hard work from our departments to ensure that we are preparing the leanest budget possible while still providing high quality services through excellent service delivery.Eachannualbudgethasalong-termimpactonourcommunityandourcitizens.Wecontinuetomaintainfiscalprudence and efficient management of operations to ensure we stay well positioned to respond to challenges facing the City today while addressingfutureneedsofourcommunity.
TheCityofRockHillpreparedthe2022budgetbasedonactualrevenuecollectionsduringtheheightoftheCOVID-19pandemicin fiscalyear2021andgrowthpriortothepandemic.TheCityofRockHillwasfortunatein2021tocontinuetoseerevenuegrowthin most of our revenuestreams including property taxes, permit fees, andutility revenues. Thehardest hit industry for RockHill was the hospitality sector, where the City experienced declines in hospitality and accommodation tax revenue resulting from the pandemic. Hospitality taxrevenue startedto meet pre-pandemic expectations inMarch2021 andhas continuedto increase each month.Thefiscal year 2022budget was adoptedinJune2021withtheexpectationthat theCOVID-19 pandemic financial impacts would be significantly less than the 2021 budget. While this is still the expectation, the City adopted a budget with flexibility to makechanges if therearerevenueshortfalls throughout theyear. Thefinanceteam has beenkeeping a closeeyeoncollections and asking all departments to be mindful of overtime, seasonal staff and traveling expenses. Additionally, the combined utility systemhascapitalpay-asyougoprojectsthatcanbedelayedtofutureyearsiftherearerevenueshortfalls.
InMarch2021,theCityofRockHillwasapprovedfor$13,179,656inAmericanRescuePlanFunding.CityCouncilandstaffarestillin theplanningstagesfortheuseofthisfederalfunding.
While the FY2022 budget maintains flexibility, City Council approved several personnel focused initiatives including: merit-based wageincrease,longevitybonus,midpointliftsandemployerretirementincrease.Themerit-basedwageincreaseisa2.5%increase foremployeesbasedonanannualperformanceappraisal.Thelongevitypayincentiveisayearlybonuspaidtoemployeesbasedon their yearsof continuousserviceto theCity.Themidpoint lift isacontinuing initiativefrom2021focusedonemployeeswho have at least 3 years of serviceinthesamepositionandhavenot hit themidpoint of thepay range.Theseemployees will beevaluated bytheirsupervisorsandhumanresourcestoreceiveawageadjustmentinNovember2021.Theretirementincreaseisa1%increase to theemployer portionof retirement mandatedby thestatelegislature. This mandate, enactedinFiscal Year 2018, includes a1% employer retirement increase for each of the following six years. The increases in employer retirement contribution rates will ultimately produceanemployer rateof 18.56% for SCRS and21.24% for PORS. Evenif payroll remains unchangeduntil FY 2023, it will addover $4 millioninannual costs to theCity’s payroll whichwill greatly impact theCity’s financial flexibility inthecoming years.
In addition to the personnel initiatives listed above, the FY2022 budget focuses on providing quality, cost-effective sanitation services. City staff looked closely at the current sanitation services and are working through recommendations to improve and expandcityservicesduetopopulationgrowth.
TheFY2022budgetalsorenewedtheCity'sfocusontourism,includingfundingforMiraclePark,anall-inclusiveparkintheheartof Rock Hill. This one-of-a-kind park is designed for people of all ages and abilities to play and work. The park includes two miracle fields, one standard field, an inclusive playground, multipurpose fields and more. This park was constructed with private sponsorships and a City partnership. The City of Rock Hill will provide staffing to operate and maintain the facilities. The grand opening for Miracle Park is scheduled for September 2021. The City of Rock Hill is also scheduled to host the 2024 BMX World Championships in the summer of 2024. The next few years will focus on redesigning and upfitting the BMX track and accommodations for the next World Championships. The last time the City hosted the BMX World Championships in 2017, the directeconomicimpactwas$19.2millionwithanestimatedtotalattendanceofover50,000peoplefrom48countries. StrategicPlanning

Financialrealityinthebudgetprocess
As withany budget process, therearecertainfinancial limitations that aretakeninto account. TheCity’s financial policies govern theentirebudgetprocess.Forexample,theCityisverycognizantofourGeneralFunddebtmarginof8%.Withthisinmind,there havebeencertaincapitalprojectsthattheCitychosetofundfromtheoperatingbudgetinsteadofissuingdebt.Anotherexample of how the City’s financial policies govern the budget process is with our operating transfer policy. The City uses a formula that presupposes that utility services wouldbeprovidedby aprivately-ownedutility insteadof theCity’s publicly-ownedutility. Sucha utility wouldhavepaidmunicipal advalorem taxes anda franchisefeeto theGeneral Fundof theCity, andtheutility’s investors would have been entitled to a return on their investment. For this reason, the City has established a policy guideline regarding franchise fees, payments in lieu of taxes, rates of return and operating transfers from the utility system. Both the FY2022 and FY2023budgetsstrictlyadheretotheseguidelines.
AFewBudgetHighlights:
The Fiscal Year 2022 approved budget totals $262,981,010, a 2.78% increase over last fiscal year. The proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budgettotals$272,047,517,a3.45%increaseoverFiscalYear2022.
The Local Hospitality Tax continues to have a positive impact on our community by supporting tourism-generating activities whichhavehadasignificanteconomicimpactsinceitsinceptionin2003.TheFY2022approvedbudgetincludesincreasedrevenue for the Rock Hill Sports and Event Center (RHSEC) based on FY2021 actuals. The RHSEC is funded by hospitality and accommodations taxrevenue.This facility is a170,000squarefoot facility ableto host athletics,conventions,conferences etc.This facilityisexpectedtogeneratenearly$1.4millioninrevenueforthehospitalitytaxfundeachyear.
Successful business recruitment efforts haveresultedinbusiness licenserevenues remaining strong. Therehas also beenmodest growth in real and personal property taxes. Despite milder weather patterns, electric, water, and wastewater revenues also remainedstrong.
TheapprovedFY2022 General Fundbudget totals $72,573,041, anincreaseof 3.42% whencomparedto last fiscal year’s approved budget. Property tax rates have remained unchanged for the 15th year in a row. The City of Rock Hill has seen tremendous population growth due to the proximity to Charlotte, NC. This growth has allowed us to keep property taxes low while still maintaining the same level of service for our citizens. The proposed FY2023 General Fund budget totals $74,377,393, a 2.49% increasewhencomparedtoFY2022.
TherevenuesintheGeneralFundarepredominatelypropertytaxes(45%),intergovernmental(20%),chargesforservices(18%),and licenses/permits(17%).Theproperty taxrateremains at 93.5 mills. TheCity’s taxpayer concentrationremains favorable; thereis no significantexposureamonganycertaintaxpayer.

The proposed 2023 budget is $174,240,452, which represents a 1.85% increase over FY2022. Maintaining aging infrastructure, expanding infrastructureinto growing areas, andusing technology to enhanceservicedelivery arepriorities for our Utility Fund. TheCityisplanningtoapplyforstaterevolvingfundloansforupcomingwaterandwastewaterprojects.Theapplicationsforthese loans aredueinFiscal Year 2022 andtherepayment of theloans will start whentheconstructionhas beencompletedoneachof theprojects.
As mentioned above, the Fiscal Year 2022 budget includes a slight increase in sewer rates. Wastewater customers will see an increase of 3.00% wastewater base and volumetric rate, equivalent to $1.40 per month for the average residential customer. The proposedFY2023 budget includes acombinedbaseandvolumetric increaseof 3.00% for wastewater andwater customers anda 5.00%increaseforstormwatercustomers.Theoverallmonthlyimpactontheaverageresidentialcustomerwillbe$2.30inFY2023.
Thewater andwastewater systemshaveseenmodest rateincreasesover thepast several yearsto fundtheexpansionof boththe water filter plant and the wastewater treatment plant. These increases were gradually put in place to avoid rate shock to our customers with the issuance of new debt. The increases are projected through FY2026 but this could change depending on constructioncostsandtimingoftheprojects.
Conclusion
Despite the challenges presented with balancing the Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023 budgets, Rock Hill’s tradition of fiscal prudencehas allowedus to continuewithprogress onaccomplishing thegoals outlinedintheStrategic Planandenhancing the overall quality of servicedelivery to our community.

In the 2000’s, the City began proactively planning for future plant expansions for water and wastewater treatment. Originally, the plant expansionswereplannedforFiscalYear2013.Knowingthattheplantexpansionswouldbesubstantial,theCitycreatedaplaninordertohave small, incremental rate increases over many years. These increases were designed to avoid rateshockto our customers by raising the necessaryfundingtopaytheultimatedebtserviceovertime.
Overthecourseoftimetheprojecteddateforthelargebondissuanceforwaterandwastewaterplantexpansionswaspostponed.Thiswas due to a number of reasons. One of the biggest factors was weak revenue growth. Growth in electric revenues was hampered by yearly purchasedpowerincreases. Additionally, waterrevenues begandecliningduetothesuccessful conservationeducational efforts. Forthree years, from 2007 to 2010, the City experienced a drought, and citizens learned conservation techniques. Wastewater revenue was proportionally slow growing. The plant expansions were also delayed due to a greater cost, which included factors such as, unexpected inflationandadditionalstateandfederalregulations.Estimatedcostsforexpansionofourfacilitieswhichincludeallimprovementsneededto managetheanticipateddemandonoursystemduetogrowth,continuedtoclimb,makingadifferentapproachtofundingnecessary.During 2015,aconsultantwashiredtocompletearatestudywhichprovidedaproposalonhowtobestaccommodatetheneedsofthesystemina waythatwasequitabletoourcustomers.BeginninginFiscalYear2017,awaterandwastewaterraterestructureinitiallydecreasedthewater base charge and implemented tiers based on consumption toreflectindustrystandards. In addition, a wastewaterbase decrease with an increasetothevolumetricchargewasalsoimplemented.Combininghigherratesforhigherconsumptionwithincreasestoimpactfeesfor newdevelopment,theapproachputmoreofthecostofexpandingthesystemonthoseresponsibleforthegrowthofthesystem.
