government. City commissioners participate in a variety of boards, commissions and committees. Their involvement provides an important link between citizens, businesses, non-profits and municipal government. The City Commission ensures the provision of community services the people of Johnson City need and want. In carrying out its duties, the City Commission must address citizens’ concerns while planning for the community’s long-term growth and development. To this end, it is the responsibility of the City Commission to oversee costs and be as efficient as possible while managing the City’s infrastructure projects and investments.

City Manager’s Message to Commission DATE: May 6, 2025 TO: Mayor and Board of Commissioners FROM: Cathy D. Ball, City Manager SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Annually, I present and recommend to you the fiscal year budget in accordance with the Johnson City Charter and applicable governing bodies. The Fiscal Year 2026 budget for the City of Johnson City reflects our commitment to our core services, education, and our employees. This budget is estimates expenditures and revenue while focusing on the commission’s strategic goals of Economic Vitality, Future-Ready Infrastructure, Quality of Place, and Excellence in Government. This year’s budget presents a unique financial challenge to the city. A large legal settlement occurred in the same fiscal year when a significant drawdown on the city’s unassigned fund balance to pay for one-time capital equipment and projects was budgeted. The combined effects of the settlement and the budgeted capital expenses have resulted in our general fund balance going from $54.8 million total ($19.3 unassigned and $22.5 in emergency reserves at the end of FY 2024 per the latest audit) to an estimated $24.5 million total (no unassigned balance and an estimated $13.5 million in emergency reserves at the end of FY 2025). Despite these obstacles, the City has seen significant achievements in Fiscal Year 2025: • The Fire Department, in collaboration with Water and Sewer Services, achieved an ISO rating of 1, the highest possible score. • Our Juvenile Court launched the Safe Baby Court program in collaboration with the State of Tennessee, powerfully impacting mothers and children across our community. • The Main Street program was successfully brought in house and continues to positively impact the economic viability of downtown for resident and visitors. • Our Development Services division launched JC Builds to improve the development process in our city. • Participation and engagement is up versus the prior year in both Parks and Recreation programming and Senior Services programming. • Pine Oaks Golf Course is on track to achieve an all-time high of 43,000 rounds of golf. • Our homeless outreach coordinators have helped house 110 people with a 90% retention rate. • The Police Department’s ‘Safer Drive in 25’ campaign, a continuation of the ‘Safer 26 in 24’ initiative, has resulted in a reduction of accidents and an increase in traffic stops, citations, and arrests on Interstate 26. • In addition to the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the Budget Department received special recognition in the area of Strategic Goals and Strategies from Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). 6
City Manager’s Message to Commission The list goes on, and these accomplishments remind us that we can face challenges and experience incredible success at the same time. This budget is a product of extensive examination, evaluation, and reevaluation of the areas that matter most to us as an organization, and prioritizing appropriate funding in order to continue our successes. As in prior years, those areas of prioritization remain a commitment to our employees, excellent core services, and education. For Fiscal Year 2026, we are budgeting the total general fund revenues at $120.1 million, which represents a $1.33 million or 1.1% total growth versus the Fiscal Year 2025 projected total revenue amount of $118.77 million. While the FY 2026 budgeted revenue number may seem overly conservative, it’s important to keep in mind that the $118.77 million total projected revenue for Fiscal Year 2025 includes the one-time revenue of $1.6 million from the sale of Buffalo Valley Golf Course. Total revenue growth budget-to-budget is $2.8 million or 2.4%. The total general fund expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026 are $120.1 million, a $1.7 million or 1.4% reduction from the $121.8 total general fund expenditures budgeted for Fiscal Year 2025. Due to the aforementioned legal settlement and budgeted drawdown, the total projected general fund expenditures for Fiscal Year 2025 are $149 million. The budget-to-budget reduction in total general fund expenditures allows for a truly balanced budget that prioritizes expenditures based on the following:
Employee Prioritization Consistent with our employee-first culture, our largest investment this year is a proposed 4% pay increase for City employees. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to attract, retain, and support a dedicated workforce. The proposed adjustment is expected to increase total personnel costs within the General Fund by $1.8 million.
Education A new Towne Acres Elementary School tops the list of projects for this budget. In the prior fiscal year, much of necessary preparation was undertaken in order to begin construction. This budget proposes officially issuing the debt for the new school and beginning construction on this crucial project for our community.
Core Services Residents and service providers depend on safe and accessible infrastructure that is maintained and upgraded on schedule. We recommend $5.5 million for these efforts, which include street resurfacing, street reconstruction and pavement maintenance.

City Manager’s Message to Commission With limited remaining funding after accounting for all operating expenses and no unassigned fund balance from which to draw, we are only able to recommend $499,000 of new spending toward capital equipment purchases and capital projects. There is, however, a significant amount of carryover capital equipment and capital projects in this year’s budget. On the equipment side, we recommend $190,000 for Microsoft Windows and Office Licensing, $10,000 for Cisco phone services, and $16,000 for two crime scene scanners. Carryover equipment includes $626,000 for three large and two small school buses as well as $640,000 for a fire engine pumper. For capital projects, this budget recommends $93,000 for re-plastering the pool at Memorial Park Community Center and $190,000 for the local portion of a federal grant that goes toward an expanded fiber optic network. Carryover capital projects include $1.2 million for Keefauver Farm Phase I, $209,000 for Carver Recreation Center HVAC, $265,000 for downtown cameras, and $1.2 million for the Gray Station/Bobby Hicks intersection. Thank you for your dedication, leadership and direction.
With appreciation,
Cathy D. Ball City Manager

CITY OVERVIEW History Johnson City, Tennessee is a small city in the northeastern region of the state, located mostly in Washington County, with parts in Carter and Sullivan counties. The city has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s when it was first settled by European immigrants. Known in those early days at Blue Plum or Johnson’s Depot, the farming community only had a population of around 500 people. Henry Johnson anticipated the hustle and bustle a new mode of transportation – the railroad – would bring and set up shop directly in its path before a single rail car made its way through the area’s mountains. The town of Johnson City was officially incorporated in 1869 with Henry Johnson elected as its first mayor. During the early 1900s, Johnson City became a hub for the railroad industry, with several major rail lines passing through the city. Henry Johnson was the first in a line of entrepreneurs who established a variety of businesses and industries that made the railroad central to everyday life in Johnson City. Johnson City continued to grow and prosper, with the construction of the National Soldiers Home in 1903, a campus for America’s veterans, and the establishment of East Tennessee State Normal School in 1911, the predecessor to East Tennessee State University. Appalachian Hospital also opened during this time. These institutions helped to establish Johnson City as a center for education and healthcare in the region, and the city’s economy continued to thrive. As a
result, the population of Johnson City grew rapidly, reaching over 20,000 by the 1930s. Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, Johnson City underwent significant changes, with the growth of the retail industry, the expansion of the healthcare sector, and the establishment of several new industries. Today, Johnson City is home to a diverse array of businesses, including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and technology companies. One of Tennessee’s fastest-growing cities, the City of Johnson City has evolved into a vibrant regional center that strives to honor the physical and cultural characteristics that provide much of its small-town charm and character. The city is home to several historic landmarks and attractions, including the Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site, which was once the home of early settler John Tipton, and the Tweetsie Trail, a popular hiking and biking trail that follows the path of an old railroad. Johnson City has a rich and diverse history that has helped to shape its identity as a vibrant and thriving community. As the city continues to grow and evolve, local leaders and policymakers are committed to continuing their investment in the city’s infrastructure and resources, ensuring that Johnson City remains a great place to live, work, and visit for years to come. 15

The benchmarks for each metric are set by federal or state guidelines, thirdparty industry standards, relevant comparisons to other municipalities, or internal policies. By measuring the city’s performance against these benchmarks, we can better assess Johnson City’s past performance, current state, and future trajectory. The Board of Commissioners has four Strategic Goals: 1. Economic Vitality 2. Quality of Place 3. Future Ready Infrastructure 4. Excellence in City Governance
ECONOMIC VITALITY The economic vitality of the Johnson City has continued to improve since the prior year as demonstrated by the growth in the Real GDP, and per capita income with a decline in unemployment. The city’s population growth shows potential signs of concern. Likewise, the city is struggling with housing affordability amid abrupt population growth and high interest rates. Real GDP

Strategic Planning The previous chart looks at the Total Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the Johnson City Metropolitan Statistical Area (Washington, Carter, and Unicoi counties) since 2001 until 2023, the first and last years of available data. Real means the amounts are adjusted for inflation. As the chart demonstrates, Johnson City had strong real GDP growth in the early 2000s before the Great Recession. Real GDP peaked in this period at $7.18 billion in 2008. It wasn’t until 2015 that the Real GDP was able to reach a new high of $7.24 billion. 2017-2020 saw a period of relatively steady average growth of $151 million per year. After the pandemic, from 2021-2023, Real GDP average growth erupted, more than doubling its previous rate to a new average growth rate of $322 million per year. Median Household Income

Median Household Income in Johnson City shows a bit of a mixed bag of results. From 2017-2019, as shown in blue, median income was roughly $41,000 per year on average. From 2021-2023, the median household income was around $55,000 per year on average. That’s a significant improvement; however, as the chart also shows in orange, the real (inflation adjusted) income has fallen precipitously since 2021, from around $50,000 per year to round $45,000 per year in 2017 dollars. Stagnant wage growth from 2021 to 2023 means that the inflation adjusted value of 2023 median household income is roughly the same as it was in 2018, despite increasing $10,000 a year.

The above chart is where we first start to see signs that give pause to a universally positive outlook. As the chart demonstrates, the city’s population increased substantially since after the pandemic from 2021-2024. However, the population growth slowed substantially from 2023-2024, increasing by fewer than 200 people. This could indicate that the period of expansive population growth has ended and we are entering a period of low to modest growth. Without substantial increases in population, Real GDP growth will likely come in much lower than the 3-year average of $322 million per year.

Above is the Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index for the Johnson City MSA from 19922025. As the chart demonstrates, in the years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Johnson City MSA saw extremely stable home prices with small incremental increases. From Q1 of 1995 until Q1 of 2019 the index only increased from 100 to 200, meaning it took 24 years for home values to double. However, from Q1 2019 to Q2 2022, the index increased from 200 to 300, meaning home values increased the same amount as the prior 24 years in the span of just over 3 years. This huge leap in home prices had a profound effect on home affordability as the next chart shows:

This affordability index is based on the one published by the National Association of Realtors. The National Association of Realtors does not publish data for the Johnson City MSA, but all of the data necessary to recreate their affordability index is available through different sources. This index calculates affordability based on median list price, median family income, estimated monthly payment assuming a 20% down payment, and assuming qualifying income as 25% of gross family income for housing expenses. One hundred (100) on the index indicates that the qualifying income and estimated mortgage costs are equal, while a score above 100 means qualifying income exceeds the estimated mortgage costs by that percentage (120 = 120%, 140 = 140%, etc.). As the chart shows, from 2016-2021 the median family income in the Johnson City MSA was more than enough to afford a median priced home within the Johnson City MSA. However, in Q4 of 2022 the index dipped below 100 and has never recovered. This means in the Johnson City MSA, a median family income was no longer sufficient to purchase the median priced home since Q4 of 2022. This strain on housing costs and options bears out in the National Community Survey results as well:

A significant point of emphasis is the Cost of Living result. Even though positive response rate fell from 70% in 2018 to 48% in 2024, the 48% positive response rate was higher than the typical municipality. Responses that are noted as higher or lower mean the response rate was 10-20 points higher or lower than the average response. So, despite the drop in positive responses, Johnson City still scores better in cost of living that most municipalities.

Strategic Planning QUALITY OF PLACE Public Safety Public safety and crime are often the first things people think of when they consider the overall quality of place. TBI collects crime data for every municipality in the state. Of particular interest are the Group A crimes, which constitute the most frequently occurring and/or most serious crimes. The following chart, also displayed in the prior year’s budget book, shows the Group A offenses per 1,000 residents in Johnson City from 2017-2024: Group A Offenses per 1,000 population
As the chart shows, Johnson City has seen a substantial drop in the rate of Group A offenses since 2017, with the sharpest improvements occurring during the years 2022 and 2024. During these years, Johnson City has placed an increased emphasis on public safety and that increased emphasis appears to be paying off. Likewise, continuing a trend seen in prior years, the rate of Group A offenses continues to fall despite increases in population:

For FY 2026, real and personal property taxes are budgeted to increase by 1.2% or $525,000 on a budget-tobudget basis. Overall, property tax collections account for approximately 36.6% of General Fund revenue. Local option sales tax, the second largest General Fund revenue source at 28.1%, is budgeted to increase by approximately 1.3% on a budget-to-budget basis, and 3.1%, $1,018,000 on a projected-to-budget basis. This is due to lower than anticipated sales tax revenue in FY 2025. From FY 2021-2023, sales tax revenue benefited greatly from unexpectedly strong post-pandemic economic conditions, growing annually at 13.6%, 13.7%, and 7.7%, respectively. This was substantial compared to a 3.2% average growth rate from FY 2015-2020. This boom in sales tax revenue growth appears to have reached its end in FY 2024 as the growth rate for FY 2024 was 2.3% and projected at 2.1% for FY 2025.
41
Budget Overview Hotel/motel tax collections are budgeted at $3,700,000, an increase of $300,000 (8.8%) budget-to-budget. Licenses and permits, which reflect building activity, are budgeted at $1,339,300, an increase of 2.1% or $27,300 budget-to-budget. This mirrors the steady growth the city has been experiencing. Intergovernmental revenues, which account for approximately 12.8% of General Fund revenue, are budgeted at $15,329,080, an increase of 4.4%, or $647,400, budget-to-budget. Intergovernmental revenues are mostly comprised of state shared revenue, such as state shared sales tax, state mixed drink tax, state gas tax, and state highway maintenance, as well as the SRO grant through the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES General Information GOVERNMENT Johnson City adopted the council-manager form of government in 1939. This form combines the benefits of elected legislative representation with a professionally managed government. Citizens elect, at large, five city commissioners who serve four-year terms. The Board of Commissioners hires a professional city manager to manage and direct the day-to-day operation of the City government, administer the budget, and employ all City employees with the exception of the Juvenile Court Judge, Juvenile Court Clerk, Municipal Court Judge, and City Attorney. The Juvenile Court Judge and Juvenile Court Clerk are elected by the municipal voters. The Municipal Court Judge and City Attorney are appointed by the City Commission. The City Manager is the chief executive officer for the city. It is the responsibility of the City Manager to enforce the laws and ordinances of the city and attend all meetings of the governing body with the right to take part in the discussion. Having no vote, the City Manager can make a recommendation of measures to the governing body. The City provides a wide range of services similar to other jurisdictions in the State, including public safety (both Police and Fire), municipal and regional solid waste services, municipal and regional water and sewer services, parks and recreation, a civic center, seniors’ center, one golf course, a mass transit system, public works, a school system, and economic development.
BUDGETARY AND FINANCIAL REPORTING The City of Johnson City is implementing the recommended practices by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB). City staff has applied diligent effort into improving the process, decisions, and outcomes with each new budget year. The budget process is not simply an exercise in balancing revenues and expenditures one year at a time, but is strategic in nature, encompassing a multi-year financial and operational plan that allocates resources on the basis of identified goals and objectives. The budgetary, accounting, and reporting standards adopted by the City of Johnson City conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to government units. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered to be a separate entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts, recording cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the purposes of carrying on specific activities or obtaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. The funds included in this budget are as follows:
48
Policies and Procedures GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS General Fund The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for most of the basic government services, such as police, fire, parks and recreation, street maintenance, administration, and planning. General Fund revenues include property taxes, local option sales tax, business license fees, court fines and fees, and state and federal grants. The largest expense within the General Fund is personal services, which includes the cost of employee salaries and benefits.
Capital Projects and Capital Equipment Funds The Capital Projects and Capital Equipment Funds account for capital purchases and improvements, such as land acquisition, fleet equipment replacement, construction of facilities, etc. Most of the items recorded in either of these funds are financed through borrowings or transfers from the General Fund.
Debt Service Fund Included in a Debt Service Fund are general long-term principal and interest payments on bonds issued, as well as revenue sources to meet the payment obligation on the debt.
Special Revenue Fund A Special Revenue Fund generates specific revenue sources. Expenses are legally restricted to specified purposes and are directly related to the revenue source. Freedom Hall Civic Center, Transportation Planning, and the Community Development Block Grant Fund are Special Revenue Funds for the City.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS Enterprise Fund An Enterprise Fund is intended to be self-supporting in that expenditures are offset by revenues in the form of fees and charges to external customers for goods and services. Enterprise Funds included in this budget are the Water and Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Funds (Municipal and Regional), Mass Transit Fund, and Stormwater Fund.
49
Policies and Procedures BASIS FOR BUDGETING The budgets for all Governmental Funds are prepared on a modified accrual basis. This means that the obligations of the City are budgeted as expenses, but revenues are recognized only when they are actually received. The Enterprise Funds are budgeted on a full accrual basis. Expenditures are recognized when a commitment is made, and revenues are recognized when they are obligated to the City. Debt interest payments are budgeted as an expense for Enterprise Funds. Not included in the budget are debt principal payments, which are reflected as a reduction in the liability only when payment is made, and capital equipment and improvements, which are funded through the Capital Equipment and Projects Funds or as an operating transfer from the General Fund.
BUDGET AND BUDGETARY CONTROLS The City’s financial plans are set forth in annual capital and operating budgets which reflect the projection of all receipts from and disbursements to all sources. The Board of Commissioners has the final responsibility for establishing program and fiscal policies, approving the annual operating budget and Capital Improvement Plan, amending the annual budget, and setting the property tax rate and fees for services. Budgetary control is maintained in the individual funds at the department level in order to ensure compliance with legal spending appropriations as approved in the annual operating budget. Activities of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Capital Projects and Equipment Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for all Governmental Funds. The revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available. Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, special assessments, interest income, and charges for services. Property taxes are levied and due in this fiscal year and also collected within 60 days after year end. Amounts not collected within those 60 days are recorded as deferred revenue. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability has been incurred. All Proprietary Funds use the accrual basis of accounting, where revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned and expenses are realized as soon as a liability is incurred. Proprietary Funds also display the assets and liabilities associated with the fund on the balance sheet. In Governmental Funds, fund balance is segregated into reserved, designated, and undesignated components. Enterprise Funds reflect a change in total net assets corresponding to the outcome of revenues and expenditures.
Financial Management Policies GENERAL FINANCIAL PHILOSOPHY The financial policy of the City of Johnson City is to provide a sufficient financial base and the resources necessary to sustain a high level of municipal services for the citizens of Johnson City.
50
Policies and Procedures It is the goal of the City to achieve a strong financial condition with the ability to: • • • • • •
Withstand local and regional economic impacts; Adjust efficiently to the community’s changing service requirements; Effectively maintain and improve the City’s infrastructure; Prudently plan, coordinate, and implement responsible community development and growth; Provide a high level of police, fire, and other protective services to assure public health and safety; and, Provide other services necessary to ensure quality of life for the community.
The City of Johnson City’s financial policies shall address the following fiscal goals: • • • • • • •
Keep the City in a fiscally sound position in both the long and short term; Maintain sufficient financial liquidity to meet normal operating and contingent obligations; Expect that service users pay their fair share of program costs; Operate utilities in a responsive and fiscally sound manner; Maintain existing infrastructure and capital assets; Provide a framework for the prudent use of debt; and, Direct the City’s financial resources toward meeting the goals of the City’s strategic plan.
OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES The annual budget is the central financial planning document that embodies all operating revenue and expenditure decisions. It establishes the level of services to be provided by each department within the confines of anticipated municipal services. The City Manager shall incorporate the Board of Commissioner’s priorities in the formulation of the preliminary and final budget proposal. Adequate maintenance and replacement of the City’s capital infrastructure and equipment will be provided for in the annual budget. The budget shall balance recurring operating expenses with recurring operating revenues. The City shall adopt a balanced budget annually.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES The City will establish and implement a comprehensive five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This plan will be updated annually. An annual Capital Improvement Budget will be developed and adopted by the Board of Commissioners as part of the annual budget. The City will make all capital improvements, in accordance with the CIP, for which there is available funding. Unexpended capital project budgets shall be carried forward to future fiscal years to complete the intent of the original budget. 51
Policies and Procedures Routine capital needs will be financed from current revenues as opposed to the issuance of long-term debt. The City will maintain all assets at a level adequate to protect the City’s capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
REVENUE POLICIES The City will estimate annual revenues by a conservative, objective, and analytical process. The City will consider market rates and charges levied by other public and private organizations for similar services in establishing tax rates, fees and charges. The City will periodically review the cost of activities-supported user fees to determine the impact of inflation and other cost increases. Fees will be adjusted where appropriate to reflect these increases. The City will set fees and user charges, for the Utility Funds, at a level that fully supports the total direct and indirect costs of operations, capital requirements, and ensures that adequate reserves are maintained. The City will continue to identify and pursue grants and appropriations from Federal, State, and other agencies that are consistent with the City’s goals and strategic plan. The City will follow an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
INVESTMENT POLICIES Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet daily cash flow demands and conform to all state and local requirements governing the investment of Public Funds. The City will continue the current cash management and investment practices, which are designed to emphasize safety of capital first, sufficient liquidity to meet obligations second, and the highest possible yield, third. Investments will be made in accordance with the policies set by Tennessee Code Annotated 6-56-106. Authorized investments include, but are not limited to, the following: • Bonds, notes or treasury bills of the United States Government; • Bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued or guaranteed by United States agencies; • Certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at state and federally chartered banks, savings and loan associations; • The local government investment pool created by title 9, chapter 4, part 7. The City shall attempt to match its investment with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matches to a specific cash flow requirement, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than two (2) years from the date of issue. Investments maturing more than two years from date of issue require approval 52
Policies and Procedures by the state director of local finance. The City’s financial information system will provide adequate information concerning cash position and investment performance.
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICIES The City of Johnson is subject to debt limitations imposed by the City Charter. The total bonded indebtedness of the City shall not exceed 10% of the assessed valuation, for the preceding year, of the taxable property of the City. In determining the debt applicable to the legal debt limit, the following types of debt are excluded: • Bonds payable out of funds derived from special assessments for public improvements; • Bones primarily secured from revenue of other sources with the secondary backing of general tax revenues; and, • Tax anticipation bonds and notes. The City shall issue debt only when necessary to meet a public need and when funding for such projects is not available from current revenues, reserves, or other sources. Long-term borrowing will be used to finance capital improvements as approved in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. Capital projects financed through issuance of debt shall be financed for a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project. The City will not incur debt to finance current operations. The total debt service on tax supported debt of the City shall not exceed 20 percent of total General Fund operating expenditures. It shall be the long-term goal of the City to reduce this percentage to the ideal level of ten percent. Lease-purchase obligations, capital outlay notes or other debt instruments may be used as a medium-term method of borrowing for the financing of vehicles, computers, other specialized types of equipment, or other capital improvements. The City will maintain good communication with bond rating agencies in order to optimize its bond rating status.
UTILITY FUND POLICIES Enterprise Funds will be established for City-operated utility services. Enterprise Fund expenditures will be established at a level sufficient to properly maintain the Fund’s infrastructure and provide for necessary capital development.
53
Policies and Procedures Each Utility Fund will maintain an adequate rate structure to cover the costs of all operations, including maintenance, depreciation, capital and debt service requirements, reserves, and any other costs deemed necessary. Ideally, reserves should approximate three months of operating costs. The total outstanding debt of the Water/Sewer Fund shall not exceed 50 percent of the net capital assets of that fund. Utility rate studies will be conducted periodically to update assumptions and make necessary adjustments to reflect inflation, construction needs, maintain bond covenants, and avoid significant periodic rate increases.
RESERVE FUND POLICIES Adequate reserve levels are a necessary component of the City’s overall financial management strategy and a key factor in external agencies’ measurement of the City’s financial strength. Reserve funds provide the City with the resources to manage cash flow and deal with unanticipated emergencies and changes in economic conditions. In addition, reserve funds enable the City to take advantage of matching funds and other beneficial (but limited) opportunities. The City shall place emphasis on increasing unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund to an amount equal to approximately 20 percent of the General Fund operating budget expenditures. This represents approximately two and one half months of operating expenditures. At the close of each budget year, any excess of revenues over expenditures that will increase the cumulative unrestricted fund balance above the established target amount will be recorded as a restricted reserve account available for appropriation by the Board of Commissioners, for one-time capital expenditures. Reversion of Bond Proceeds: Bond proceeds remaining (unspent) after the purpose for which the bonds were issued has been completed shall be returned to the respective bond funds for future appropriation. The balance of available bond proceeds will be reported to the Board of Commissioners on a monthly basis. Further use of these monies shall be consistent with provisions contained within the appropriate bond resolutions and inconformity with federal and state regulations.
Budget Procedure PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE BUDGET The budget is the City’s financial plan, covering a 12 month period that balances projected revenues with anticipated expenditures, related to City services. Upon adoption by the Board of Commissioners, the City of Johnson City’s budget becomes a major policy document of this community for the ensuing fiscal year. Essentially, the City of Johnson City’s budget strives to achieve the following objectives: 1. Establish a legal basis for the expenditure of city tax dollars; 2. Establish a means of public accountability and control of expenditures;
54
Policies and Procedures 3. Provide a method for continuous review of city programs through established goals and departmental services; 4. Provide an operating plan of service for city departments; 5. Provide a basis for establishing policies, adopted by the Board of Commissioners, through recommendation by the City Manager; 6. Establish more effective communication between the citizens of Johnson City and City officials.
ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS OF THE CITY OF JOHNSON CITY The City’s annual budget process typically begins in September with the preparation of the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In January, a budget kick-off meeting is held with department and division directors to distribute budget instructions and to highlight concerns, challenges, and goals that face the City in the upcoming fiscal year. Following this informational meeting, department/division heads prepare their budget requests over the next 30-day period. From there, the budget calendar is followed through the remainder of the budget process: • Revenue estimates are prepared for the next fiscal year for all City funds. • Departmental budgets are reviewed and analyzed and budget hearings are conducted with each department. Following these meetings, a tentative budget is prepared in consideration of the projected revenues and policy guidelines established by the City Manager. • Budget work sessions are conducted with the Board of Commissioners, City Manager, and staff. These work sessions are open to the public. • At the conclusion of these work sessions, the Board of Commissioners’ input is incorporated into the proposed budget. An appropriation ordinance is prepared and is required by the City Charter to be published for public review no later than 10 days prior to the first reading of the ordinance. • By City Charter, the first reading of the budget ordinance and public hearing is required to occur at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Commissioners, followed by two additional readings of the ordinance. • The adopted budget takes effect July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS Amendments which revise the total expenditure of any appropriated fund or department may occur at any time during the fiscal year after advertising and a public hearing before the Board of Commissioners. Three readings of the ordinance amending the budget are required.
