SAN BENITO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FY 2015-2016 BUDGET POLICIES Maximize opportunities to consolidate, collaborate and cooperate with other agencies to improve service delivery while saving money. Identify opportunities to provide service delivery while improving efficiencies and saving money. Maintain the goal of a General Fund prudent cash reserve at the recommended minimum of 15%. Maintain the goal to retain Contingency of at least 3% per Fund (If a fund balance is available) as a proactive measure for unforeseen expenses or revenue reversals during the year. Direct departments to maintain the currently authorized FY 14/15 FTE's. CAOs office will provide each department their salary projections that include step increases and changes to employer paid benefit rates. Consider increases to FY 14/15 authorized FTE levels with new or increased non-general fund allpurpose revenue funding sources, or on a case by case basis utilizing General Fund sources. Increase transparency of the true cost of government by including Cost Plan charges in all General Fund department budgets. Analyze the impact to the General Fund's ongoing OPEB costs and evaluate the new 2015 actuarial study and Annual Required Contribution (ARC) payments. Department Heads must inform the CAO of impending employee retirements in all operating budgets in order to budget accordingly. Continue to identify areas for evaluation efforts by staff, committees, or consultants to judge the effectiveness and/or efficiency of County services. Identify options to reduce or eliminate services and costs in non-mandated or discretionary program areas. Implement an expense strategy to completely erase County's current unfunded Vacation/Sick time Accrual. Utilize Teeter Fund Excess Cash to help pay down Vacation and Sick Accrual hour liabilities and bring County up to date with OPEB obligations in the General Fund departments. Adopt a Rainy Day Fund with one-time funding as opportunities present themselves. Recognize possible/estimated salary savings due to normal employee vacancies in all operating budgets. (Vacancy Budgeting) Consider including in the budget proposed reorganization affecting personnel job descriptions only after Human Resources has reviewed the impacts that may relate to meet and confer issues. 7 Maximize the use of Trust and Special Revenue Funds and other revenue sources (Le., grants, etc.) to support programs and services that would otherwise consume General Fund resources. Prioritize and pursue ongoing funding for County Information Technology, network/infrastructure development, operating system applications and maintenance as a means to maximize productivity and personnel cost savings.
