COLORADO COUNTY of WELD STATE of COLORADO COUNTY OF WELD 1981 BUDGET MESSAGE PRESENTED TO THE WELD COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS C . W . KIRBY, CHAIRMAN NORMAN CARLSON, COMMISSIONER LYDIA DUNBAR, COMMISSIONER LEONARD ROE, COMMISSIONER JUNE STEINMARK, COMMISSIONER BY THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION DONALD D. WARDEN SEPTEMBER 30, 1980 September 30, 1980 Weld County Board of Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Board Members: The 1981 proposed budget for Weld County for Capital and Operating Funds totals $39,384,597, with a net of $36,961,378 when interfund transfers art excluded. In addition, intergovernmental Service Funds have budgets; total inp $5,012,710. In the 1981 budget, hospital operating budgets are not included, since they are not legally a budget adopted by the Board of County Commis- sioners, with the exception of the Capital Fund which is included in the ahoo totals. The budget has been prepared in accordance with your directives. The proposed fiscal program can be funded from increased revenues and anticipated year end fund balances within the 5% property tax limitation imposed by the Weld Count Home Rule Charter. Although property tax revenues will increase by 5% for a total of $12,265,198, the mill levy will decline by 3% to 16. 759 compared to 17.247 in 1980 because of the 8% increased assessed value of $731,849,`x70. Although the proposed budget submitted at this time represents a reasonable fiscal plan that meets essential needs of the people of Weld County, it was not done without difficulty, since $1,181,831 or 3% was reduced from the re- quested amount. As Weld County faces the 1981 fiscal year many adverse im- pacts and uncertainties exist. These adverse impacts and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, an inflation rate of over 13%, impact of Federal budget limitations and program reductions, growing demand for ser- vices, and the impact of the recession on the local economy. Given the potential impact of these and other pending factors, each department's budge t was scrutinized by themselves and by Finance and Administration to arrive :,.t the recommendations submitted to your Board. As your Board holds hearings and makes decisions on the budget, the potential to increase the proposed budget is balanced by the.potential to cut it. Y,u, Board has the option to add or delete a number of items. There are a aumber of policy matters and points of issue for your consideration in the budge' deliberations. Tn my opinion, the items not funded in the proposed budget : at be denied without seriously affecting County services except in the area Road and Bridge. In the proposed budget there are items totalling $496,969 that are not futile, in any specific line item for your Board's consideration, but there is $472,D4d included that should be addressed by your Board as policy matters. Plus t'iere is $41,350 in the General Fund Contingency to fund a portion of the unfu:ricd programs or to be held as a reserve amount to face program and funding i :sac in 1981. In addition, under the Home Rule Charter your Board has the to request additional funding up to $357,018 from the County Council.., . 'sic you decide to do so. Contained in the proposed budget is adequate funding to provide a bendhnr r compensation plan fur all County employees. The compensation plan in tile 19ti1. budget continues to hold or bring all County employees up to parity with common jobs in the surrounding labor market for both public and private r- ganizations. In order for the County to maintain and attract an effei.t i., ' workforce, it is essential that the salary level for all County employer, remain competitive within the labor market. The range of increase goes from 2.5% to .1.7. 5%. It is strongly recommended that the Board implement a s❑ iset review process of all vacated positions, as well as any positions the Boer identifies in the budget hearing process as not fully justified or provL ing a low priority service. The one area that the proposed budget inadequately addresses is the Road ace Bridge program. Although the Road and Bridge Fund increased by over 67. f tie 1980 base amount, it is grossly under what is required to keep pace with ttr- growing needs of Weld County in the area of roads and bridges. Even tho..g:?. the 1981 budget shows a 6% increase over the 1980 base, the service level Ail be substantially reduced because of the significant inflation of road bridge costs, as well as , no anticipated supplemental state funding, suc.. :_s was received in 1980 in the amount of $654,000. Your Board's action to -laca the 1% sales tax issue on the November ballot was an attempt to address this dire need, but approval will remain uncertain until the final budget hearing. For this reason, optional funding increments are presented for your Board's determination considering the $357,000 maximum amount available with County Council approval and/or the anticipated $2,300,000 that would be generated from the 1% sales tax. 'i'he optional increments are the proposed $7,124 ,248 level, a level of $7,491,266 which is the maximum amount possible with County Council approval, $9,434,248 if the sales tax passes, and $9,791,266 maxim up amount with both the sales tax and added property tax with County Council approval. Without either added sources of revenue, road and bridge operatLens will fall further behind in meeting the identified road and bridge needs et the people of Weld County. With the total budget increase far less than the rate of inflation, your hozrc{ during the budget hearing process, must continue to ask questions concerni4. the program needs and purposes, objectives, priorities, benefits, altLTn.htl e approaches and service levels of all. County activities in order to pro- Lde t :'ie services most necessary to the citizens of Weld County within the resource capacity permitted by the Home Rule Charter. 2 With the many difficult decisions facing the Board in the 1981 budget hearin,; process, it is hoped that the budget message and line item budgets will serv.' as useful tools in making program plans and funding decisions for 1981 Count services. In summary, preparation of the 1981 proposed budget could not have been accomplished without the help of all initiating department managers and personnel in the staff departments. l wish to acknowledge my thanks arr appreciation for their fine work.

The recommended level reflects a 6.1% increase over the 1980 level of $10,330,659. With an inflation rate for 1980 in excess of 13%, the 6.1 increase still reflects nearly a 7% decline in purchasing power for Weld County in the General Fund. The 6.1% increase reflects no program expansion, and simply accommodates inflationary pressures experienced by Weld County. The primary increases are attributed to proposed salary increases totalling $657,615, law enforcement cost increase of $60,000, airport expansion contri- bution $25,000, utility costs $50,000, and salary adjustments for other than General Fund (activities serving the General Fund) $70,000, and a contingency amount for points of issue totalling over $46,000. The increases just cited are slightly offset by the reduction in the election budget of $160,000 and non-participation in the Council of Governments for $62,800. The remaining changes in the budget are attributed solely to inflationary costs in all line items. The recommended revenue to fund the General Fund amounts to $10,797,339 for an increase of $620,578 from the previous year, or 6.1%. Property taxes account for an increase of $427,000, anticipated interest earnings $80,000, county attorney revenues from Social Services $58,000, ambulance fees $49,000, she- riff fees $70,000, and specific ownership tax $25,000. Revenues in most areas are stable due to local and national economic conditions with the exception of declines of $90,000 in building inspection fees, planning fees, and clerk fees associated with economic activity such as motor vehicle purchases and property transfers. Included in the recommended budget is a contingency amount of $698,965 of which $657,615 is recommended to be utilized to provide employees with a salary adjustment to place all positions near parity with a recent salary survey conducted by the Personnel Department in conjunction with other private and governmental agencies. Salary adjustments are shown in later pages. The remaining $41,350 in the contingency amount is placed there for the Board's consideration and policy decisions regarding various points of issue and policy matters concerning County priorities and programs for 1981. A detailed list of the points of issue and policy matters for the budget are in the preceeding pages. As proposed, Weld County would end the 1981 fiscal year with a fund balance of $540,000. This fund balance amount is consistent with the anticipated ending fund balances for the last two years. The $540,000 should be viewed as a contingency amount, together with the $471,000 found in the Contingency Fund to meet unforeseen expenditures or revenue declines that Weld County may experience in 1981. Because of the local and national economic situation, it is prudent management for Weld County to maintain an anticipated fund balance to respond to unforeseen needs of the citizens of Weld County in 1981 and future years. 24 BUDGET UNIT REfUEST SUMMARY n("-- FISCAL YEAR 1981 AGENCY/DEPT.

One Secretary IV received a promotion and commensurate salary increase in 1980. Office supply funds have not been expended as anticipated in 1980 and were, therefore, decreased in the 1981 budget. Anticipated increases in CCI and NaCo dues and the increase of the mileage reimbursement rate to 20c per mile equalled $3,018. FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : Recommended budget reduces training and conventions to current year level consistent. with Board policy and holds office supply account to current year expenditure pattern. 25 BUDGET UNIT RErUEST SUMMARY , © FISCAL YEAR - 1981 AGENCY/DEPT .

Revenue is up by $30,000 in Title IV Incentive and reimburseahle time to Social Services is up $33,646. FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval. �__ In maintaining the current work force it will be necessary to curtail certain acti- vities in order to maintain the same level of service in critical areas and avoid expansion of the department . The County Attorney recommends we eliminate representa- tion of the Weld County Airport Authority and reduce the in-house contact w₹-th certain departments in the areas in which so-called "problems" could be handled by the depart- ment head rather than the County Attorney's Office. Also, a certain portion of the IV-D collection unit work (outgoing URESA's) will be handled by the secretaries for the three non-social services attorneys. No adverse impact should be felt from the above recommendation. This should stop tin- general trend toward using the County Attorney's Office for matters of a non-legal nature which evolves when attorneys are readily available to the various county depart- ments. It is anticipated that the savings will be realized in the postponement of ir- creasing County Attorney's staff, both professional and secretarial. 26 BUDGET UNIT PECUEST SUMMARY O FISCAL YEAR 1981 AGENCY/DEPT.

The 1981 Road and Bridge budget, as presented, is funded within the 5% Charter limitation. The Board of County Commissioners have taken action to place on the November ballot a sales tax issue which, if passed, would generate approximately $2 , 300,000 designated for use in the Road and Bridge Fund. Contingency bud- gets are discussed below in the event that there is approval by the electorate on November 4th for the implementation of a 1% sales tax effective January 1, 1981 for a five year period. However, for planning purposes, it is recom- mended that the 1981 budget be initially prepared to be funded within the 57. Charter limitation. As discussed in the budget message, there is also the petentia1 for the Board of County Commissioners to go to the County Council foe approval to maintain the current mill levy applied against the increased a r.ses.sed value for the generation of an additional $357,000. Again, an op- t ,onai Road and Bridge Fund budget including all or a portion of the $357,000 w' !.1 be discussed as a policy option for the Board of County Commissioners to consider. The 1981 Road and Bridge budget funded within the 5"/. Charter limitation pro- v:des for an increase of $390,488 over the 1980 base budget level. It should be noted, however, that during 1980 because of the passage of Senate Bill 148, Weld County received an additional $654,000 from the State Highway Users' Fund ar a one-time appropriation for Road and Bridge purposes. Since there is no assurance that a like ameunt from another S.B. 148 type appropriation is forthcoming in 1981, Weld County Road and Bridge Fund has a net decrease of $264,000 over the adjusted 1980 expenditure level. The increase of $390,488 f.ur 1981 is accommodated by an increase of Revenue Sharing and property tax totalling $225,000, increase in moving permits from oil activity of $37,000, and an increase of $240,000 in the regular Highway Users' Fund. The combina- tion of property tax and Revenue Sharing totalling the $225,000 is accommo- dated only by devoting the entire anticipated Revenue Sharing entitlement of $1,600,000 to the Road and Bridge Fund. As indicated on the following pages , the Highway Users' 'fax increase of $240,000 for a total of $2,190,000 or 12.3% is attributed to the fact that. Weld County's share of the 22% of the counties Nf ,hway Users' Fund portion has been increased from 4. 71891 to 5.1.7305 in the Highway Users' Tax formula. The increase in the percentage is attributed to r.z • surveying of County roads in the State and the application of the diffi- cilty of maintenance factor. As Indicated in the calculation that follows for tea Highway Users' Tax, it Is recommended to only anticipate $2,190,000 instead of the• slightly higher figures estimated by the Public Expenditure Council and the State Office of Management and Budget. The more conservative figure is bIsed upon no anticipated growth in the funds going into the Highway Users' lux, whereas the State 0°rice of Management and Budget anticipates a 1X growth and the Expenditure Council anticipates a 1.. 5% growth factor. 19 As indicated in the past, the constraints of the 5% property tax limitation are most evidenced in the Road and Bridge area which has limited resource capacity, but is receiving tremendous demand from the public for Road and Bridge services. This situation will become even more critical as Weld County moves into the 1980's unless an increased funding capacity is developed through legislative change or voters ' approval, such as the sales tax. The funding sources for Road and Bridge, which is primarily property tax and Highway Users' Tax, with the Home Rule 5% property tax limitation and the lack of growth in the funds derived from the Highway Users' Tax, severely limit the runding capacity of the Road and Bridge Fund. While at the same time, the Road and Bridge area is most severely impacted by the inflation factors of labor and petroleum. As indicated by the. State Department of Highways Cost Index, road construction from 1976 to 1980 has more than doubled, while the resource capacity derived from property tax and Highway Users' Tax has gone up only slightly over 20%. The recommended base budget of $7,134,248 is constructed with a number of optional approaches for the Board of County Commissioners to consider. The approach that is included in the recommended amounts includes base service levels as they exist in 1980, plus cites optional service levels that are included for patching, construction contracts, ditch cleaning, and bridge materials, while at the same time provides a list of optional service levels that are excluded from the Road and Bridge request. The specific approaches available to the Board are outlined in the following pages in a skeletal form. The approaches include the base budget within the 5% with the optional ser- vices to be included and excluded in the base amount. Optional funding and services that could be provided in the event that the Board decided to request that the County Council allow the 1981 budget to exceed the 5% limitation and utilize a portion of the $357,000 derived from increased assessed value for Road and Bridge activities. Finally, the third option includes a service level and road improvement program in the event that the electorate approve the 1% sales tax and provide $2. 3 million of added funding for 1981. During the budget deliberations it is recommended that work sessions be held with County staff and the Board of County Commissioners to develop the various options in funding levels, ranging from the base 5% limit amount of $7,134,248 to the next range of increments of $7,491,000 assuming County Council's appro- val to exceed the 5% limit; the incremental step to $9,434,000 in the event that the electorate approve the 1'7 ;ales tax; and the final increment up to $9,891,000 should the Council and the electorate approve the added resources. These increments and a skeleton of the approaches can be found in the follow- ing pages. Included in the summary for the Road and Bridge Fund is a list of the contract road work identified by the County Engineer and the prioritization that the hoard of County Commissioners have done for 1981, assuming various funding resource options. 80 1981 IROAI) AND BRIDGE BUDGET UNIT AMOUNT BASE: 801 Engineering & Administration $ 570,913 803 Capital Outlay -0- 815 Road Maintenance 1,706,929 818 Production 2,048,719 821 Municipalities 508,299 832 Rights-of-Way -0- 833 Bridge & Culvert 647,054 898 Salary - Contingency 190,000 817 Reserve/Temporary 218,405 OPTIONAL -- INCLUDED: 801 Safety Equipment 3,100 /t ( 818 Patching Material 150,000 818 Construction Contract 815 Ditch Cleaning 10,000 871 Bridge/Material 300,000 TOTAL $7 2134248 OPTIONAL, -- EXCLUDED: 803 Capital - Grader Shed $ 30,000x( it - - 832 Right-of-Way 15,000 801 Highland Drainage Study 15,000 818 Patching 50,000 815 Snow Removal 36,200-1 " 813 Bridge/Material 51,000 87 Reserve/Temporary 60,703 ; 1 ) - 818 Construction Contracts 119,171 ,' j; ..

The County match is $1,912,007, which is up over 17% from the amount approved for 1980. The actual effective reimbursement rate from the State on the total request from Social Services is 78.4% as opposed to the statutory 80%, which equates to an added local cost of $137,547. Inflation and projected caseload growth are the prime contributors to the increased request. Most programs administered are mandatory and leave little room for reduction at the local level. As the Social Service costs continue to climb, it is suggested that County staff in 1981 work with the Board in exploring any cost control initiatives and legislative changes that may hold down or reduce public assistance costs in Weld County. Inflation aside, growth in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program due to some deterioration in the local economy and the Monfort Plant closure is expected. Other substantial cost increases are expected in Day Care and Foster Care. Projected caseload growth in Day Care as more low income single parent households apply for this subsidy is anticipated in 1981. Although the Foster Care caseload is expected to grow marginally, the cost of this care is rising rapidly as indicated in the following pages. New programs include "Placement Alternatives", (S.B. 26) , S.B. 38 which is designed to divert the disabled and elderly from Nursing Homes, and a new energy program that the State will expect Counties to administer. The later two have potential to increase local cost. With the exception of S.B. 26, no forecast of cost impact has been made in this requested budget, as the State has not formulated their program requirements as of this date. The budget request reflects an overall staff salary compensation plan increase of 6.8%. One additional employee is requested and recommended for the Child Support program, to increase collections. Social Services may be able to handle the S.S. 38 program with existing staff, and for that reason no ad- ditional positions are recommended in that area. It is doubtful that the assistance payment program division can administer the new energy program without additional manpower or significant overtime. Because of this, Social Services is working with the Personnel. Department and Human Resources to utilize a CETA position to hold down local cost. The Social Services Department reigns well within their allocation of person- nel from the State. As of July, 1980, Weld County had 101 County authorized positions employed. The 1980-1981 State allocation for Weld County is 110.45 FTE. Weld County remains one of the very few departments within the State that uses less staff than authorized. 98 The 1981 budget for the Old Age Pension Program is drastically increased. This increase is due to the legislature, in December, 1979, granting signi- ficant utility grant increases to pension recipients and State Supreme Court decisions lowering the eligibility age to 60 (Class B) . Both changes were unanticipated at the time the 1980 budget was prepared, in that they came from decisions made subsequent to the 1980 budget preparation time. The result of these changes were Old Age Pension grant increases of 30% or more, plus the addition of many individuals between the ages of 60 and 65 onto the pension rolls. In addition, a long time trend where Old Age Pension caseloads were slowly declining appears to be reversing. Now the trend is towards gradual. growth in this case load. The 1981 request is for $1,683,000. This reflects the continuation of the cost Weld County has experienced in 1980 plus the addition of some cases. All pension grant costs are reimbursed 1O0% to the Counties. The County pays 20% of the salaries of those staff members who administer the program. It is not anticipated that this growth in case load will necessitate increase in staff. 99 WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES ADMINISTERS MANDATED FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS Assistance Payments Programs: Practically all Assistance Payments programs are mandated by Federal and/or State law and regulation. Consequently, local government is limited as to what can be done to limit or reduce costs for these programs. Federal Mandated State Mandated Aid to Dependent Children X X Aid to the Needy Disabled - SSI X X Aid to Needy Disabled - State X X Aid to the Blind X X General Assistance (Although the County has wide discretion in the type and level of General assistance it provides, county indigents must be assisted according to Colorado Poor Law.) X Social Service Programs: Similar to Assistance Payments, all Social Service programs administered by the Weld County Department of Social Services are mandated by Federal and/or State law. However, local government does have a higher degree of management flexibility with these programs. Service Vendor Payments Federal. State Federal State Mandated Mandated Mandated Mandated Child Protection - Casework Service X X Youth Service - Casework gEOvice X Foster Care X X Day Care X Service Payments X X Homemaker Service X County policy and management discretion can be exercised in the purchase of vendor services, i.e. , type, quality, and cost, and in the degree of direct service coverage provided through direct services. Please note: Homemaker and Day Care programs are State mandated. State legislature can broaden, restrict, or even delete these programs. 100 Administration: Major costs cover direct service staff and Assistance Pay- ments administrative staff as well as related overhead costs. The Colorado State Department of Social Services provides administrative allocations for personnel, operating, equipment, travel and office space. Expenditures are reimbursed 80% within these annual allocations. However, allocations are grossly insufficient in cost areas such as Office Space and Data Processing. Thus , net reimbursement to the county has deteriorated to 77.5% for Administrative costs. Considering all costs, program and adminis- trative costs, Federal-State reimbursement has decreased to 78.4% (down from 80%) while the County share has increased to 21.6%. So, as the State share gradually recedes without concomitant reduction in program, it is left to local government to shoulder the load previously carried by the State. The county has discretion in the level of staffing it decides to have, the compensation plan option within the Colorado Merit System, and at least to some extent, administrative operating costs. Weld historically has spent less on administrative expenses -- staff and overhead --than most other large county Social Service Departments. 101 BUDGET UNIT RECUEST SUMMARY FISCAL YEAR . 981 AGENCY/DEPT.

Significant increase for County Attorney costs - $42,300 to $62,000 - due to increase volume, law changes, and liti- gation. FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval. Continued efforts to automate functions for cost avoidance in the future should be pursued even at only 50% reimbursement . Building costs are still not funded at 80%. The Board should continue to advocate administrative and legislative remedy to the ongoing battle for proper office space reimbursement formulas for grandfathered long-term lease counties. County should continue efforts to get the State to pay for any new mandated services or expansion of services to avoid the constant shift. of State costs to the County through programs, or administrative procedures. Efforts for the full transition of Welfare Fraud to Social Services needs to be con- tinued in 1981, even though more State funding is available in 1981.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : Policy Issue: Funding level for "Domestic Violence": "Woman's Place" plans to open in October, 1980. They project in their first phase of operation to accommodate 4 family units at a time at a net cost of $3,063 per month. In Phase II (basement remodeled) , they indicate their capacity will double. It is expected that most of their clients will qualify for county assistance under present rules. Woman's Place representatives expect that indigent clients will need approximately $'+0,000 annually under Phase I and $80,000 under Phase II when the basement is remodeled. Department of Social Service impression is that their projected volume of clients is high con- sidering our eligibility criteria. Policy issue is to what extent should the county support this program? Recommend 5% above 1980 level or $21,000. Policy Issue: The county has provided funds ($18,000 in 1980) each year for indigent care at Weld County General Hospital. It may be possible for the hospital to parti- cipate in the State's Medical Indigent program, thus diverting this cost from the county and perhaps obtaining additional revenue for the hospital from the State for the care of indigents. Department of Social Services could continue to do an eligi- bility determination if this was necessary for the hospital even though they partici- pated in the State program. ,pRe�c-o-mmend -0-. 7 ul mow+ e e � �" �� (CONTINUED) J,f oxt.�Z n a,�r� id/eta,- t.t.

LJa'-1,.k � �"'". "J State "Poor Laws" (CRS 30-17-101 et. seq.) require counties to provide some assis- tance for County indigents. Since the "Poor Laws" were written in 1897 they leave considerable latitude and interpretation in how this assistance may be provided and at what level. Since the "Poor Laws" are subject to challenge and varying inter- pretations, the Board should consider supporting legislation that would repeal or amend the "Poor Laws" to spell out exactly what County obligations are under the statute, before court interpretation expands service type and level in a way costly to Colorado Counties.

A stagnant or deteriorating economy and inflation appear to contribute to their growth as economic pressures mount on low-income families. More households are "discovering" this program and are quali- fying for service.

Positions -- -- -- -- SUMMARY OF CHANGES.: The budget request was grossly understated. This was due to the legislature in December, 1979 granting significant utility grant increases to pen- sion recipients and the State Supreme Court decisions lowering the pension eligibility age to 60 (Class B) . Both changes were unanticipated in that they came from decisions made subsequent to 1980 budget preparation time. The result of these changes were Old Age Pension grant increases of 30% or more plus the addition of many individuals between the ages of 60 and 65 who came onto the Pension rolls. In addition, a long- time trend where OAP caseloads were slowly declining appears to be reversing. FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : The 1981 recommendation is for $1,683,000. This reflects a continuation of the costs we are experiencing in 1980 plus the addition of some additional cases. All Pension grant costs are reimbursed 100% to the counties. The county pays 20% of the salaries of those staff who administer this program. It is not anticipated that this growth in caseload will necessitate increase in staffing. 114 PUBLIC HEALTH FUND • Health Fund Revenue By Source 1981 Total 1,257,427 Interfund Transfer $574,965 45.7'o Federal/State $557,a5o 44.47 Charges for Service $96,754 Miscellaneous 7.7% $27,858 2.2% 1980 Total 1,769,495 Federal/State $988,521 55.9:Y.

This is a 36.6% decrease from the $1,717,855 level in 1980. Nearly 32% of the 36.6% reduction is attributed to the trans- fer of the Home Health Care program from the Health Department to the private sector in 1980. The Home Health Care program amounted to $473,454 of the total Health Department budget in 1980, and contained 33.15 positions. An additional reduction has occurred in the area of Environmental Health with the State assuming the inspection of milk producers in Weld County. The recom- mended budget contains the reduction of 2 Environmental Health Specialists associated with the milk inspection, but as noted in the following pages, it is recommended that there be further study of staffing needs in the laboratory and Environmental Health as it relates to milk inspections prior to the begin- ning of 1981. The 1981 budget, as recommended, funds 63.75 full time equivalent positions in the Health Department as opposed to the 105.15 positions funded in 1980. The reductions have been realized in the two programs cited above, as well as , the elimination of two accounting positions and the shift of the accounting function to the Central Accounting Unit. Nursing has eliminated four posi- tions associated with program reduction in the East Side Health Clinic, Home Health, nurse supervision, and support staff. ARRC has added two positions in their restructuring of their staff by reclassifying counselors to aide pos- itions to provide better coverage of the facility. Even with the above reductions, the County's allocation to the Health Depart- ment has only declined to $574,965 in 1981, compared to $589,736 in 1980. The local contribution to the Health Department amounts to 45. 7% of the entire budget, which together with 44.4% from the Federal and State government, 7. 7% from charges for services, and 2.2% from other miscellaneous revenues provide the total resources to fund the various health programs in Weld County. An additional $44,015 of General Fund money is required for salary increases for a total local cost of $618,980. As specified in the individual budget unit request summaries, there are a number of policy issues for the Board of County Commissioners to consider. Many of the issues relate to the fact that the Federal government has reduced funding of certain health programs in the area of the 314D funding and the State of Colorado has made corresponding reductions. Basic policy issues are brought to the Board's attention since it has been the Board's policy, begin- ning in 1.979, to scrutinize various health programs that are funded by con- tract with the State of Colorado and to fund only at the State funding level. The Board of Health has done a great deal of examination and prioritization of various health programs offered in Weld County, and their recommended priori- tization of services follows on their budget ranking sheet. As has been the case in the past, the 1981 budget is recommended at a funding level and ser- vice level that should not he to the detriment of the health of the citizens of Weld County. Specific issues are addressed in the individual budget unit request summaries that follow, as well as, the input from the Board of Health concerning program priorities. 117 • 4J u 0 vv H a H 'O ae .. o .7 CO CO I o O 0 �y 0 0 f 0 44 N N T -t to y H fq Ei VI Ln n N -' .-I O J 1D 'O co 0 CO Ca -i in ri H H N N ^) '. c VI c E 0 h — W n - 2 Z W .O w VI C1 N .0 N to 0 .7 O a) r- W iF 2 U `H° 0 N.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : Funding for Director of Public Health has been set at $60,000 in 1981. Charter issue will determine course of Board action after election. It is recommended that all accounting functions be transferred to Central Accounting in 1981, since Home Health billing will be eliminated. A study of clerical staff in administrative unit should be done to determine necessary staffing level for 1981. With program and staff reductions in the Health Department, available space exists for other County functions or compatible non-profit organization. The hospital has indicated that they will be needing the space currently occupied by the Ambulance Service at the end of 1981. It is recommended that the Ambulance Service be located in the Health Department Building during 1981. To accommodate this a garage and bathroom must be constructed as proposed in the Capital Projects budget. Any other compatible occupants of the building should be encouraged.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION : n/a 126 HUMAN RESOURCES 2A' HUMAN RESOURCES FUND SUMMARY The Human Resources Fund shows a significant decline of 24.7% from $7,935,031 to $5,973,201. The significant reduction is attributed to reduction in EOPP planning dollars that are not included in the 1981 budget, as well as signi- ficant reductions at the Federal level for CETA and manpower related programs. The Human Resources Fund is totally funded through State and Federal programs with the exception of the 25% local match for the Aging Program, which amounts to $7,471. The Board, in 1980, took actions to transfer the Area Aging Pro- gram from the Larimer-Weld Council of Governments to Human Resources Depart- ment. The County contribution of $7,471 is offset by a reduction in the COG funding for 1981. Many of the proposed budgets in this fund will be amended as final State and Federal funding levels are determined in 1981. Each con- tract will come before your Board individually for approval, therefore, they are not discussed in detail here. This fund is related to other funds as the programs compliment programs in the Health Department and in the Social Services Fund. Specifically, the utilization of CETA/EOPP programs to transition AFDC unemployed fathers from the Social Services payroll grants to HRD's job pro- grams has significantly reduced the County's cost in the Social Services Fund, since 20% of Social Services is funded by the County and the CETA/EOPP program is 100% funded by the Federal government. The Board raised the concern at the September 17, 1980 Board meeting regarding out-of-state travel . It is noted here for discussion during the budget hearing process. — `i _! /7C/ ate frectit 127 BUDGET UNIT PEOUEST SUMMARY FISCAL YEAR 1981 AGENCY/DEPT.

FINANCE/ADMINISTRATIVE REcOMMEN.DAT I ON : • n/a 156 OTHER SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS OTHER SPECIAL REVENUE FUND SUMMARY The Library Fund is recommended to be funded at the level of $313,097 in 1981, which is up slightly over 8% from 1980. It is suggested that the library activities be funded by a carry-over fund balance of $16,520, various revenues of $5,000, and a net County contribution from the General Fund of $240,783. In addition to the basic budget, the Payment For Lending budget of $20,000 and the System Area Reference System of $30,794 are both funded 100% by State funds. The Library has made significant efforts to contain cost and retain existing service level with existing staff as recommended by Augustine and Associates in 1979. Not reflected in the current budget level is a request for the development of an automated library system for the library in 1981.. A feasibility study has been completed in 1980, identifying potential savings and enhanced service by use of automation. This request will be discussed in conjunction with all other Data Processing requests as part of the budget. deliberations. The Revenue Sharing Fund is budgeted at $1,600,000, which is up $269,568 over 1980. Although the $1,600,000 is included in the 1981 proposed budget, the actual extension of the Revenue Sharing program is still currently pending before Congress as of the time of printing this report. All indications are that it will be extended through 1983 at the current level, which is the amount proposed. Final allocations may require final budget adjustment to actual amount prior to the finalization of the 1981 budget. As was the case in 1980, it is recommended that all Revenue Sharing Funds for 1981 be utilized in the Road and Bridge program and any other funds requested from Revenue Sharing Funds should be funded via the General Fund budget as recommended. The Conservation Trust Fund is recommended at the funding level of $3,818, which is the anticipated carry-over fund balance from 1980. The State did not appropriate any funds in 1979 or 1980 for this program. Based upon lack of funding, the remaining fund balance of $3,818 has been recommended to he used for Missile Site Park development in 1981. Termination of funding at the State level means that the Board is unable to allocate the Conservation Trust Funds to worthwhile projects in towns within Weld County as they did in 1978 and 1979. The Subdivision Park Fund is funded at the carry-over level of $28,404. These funds are restricted to be used in the area of the subdivision that made the contribution to the fund, or to a regional park. As in 1980, it is suggested that the Board of County Commissioners make a policy determination of the kind of use that they want to put these funds, and in early 1981 the staff and the Board should work towards determining the projects that the Board has iden- tified. The only project currently in progress is the Wattenburg project approved in 1979 by the Board of County Commissioners. 157 The Contingency Fund is recommended at the carry-over fund balance level of $471,372. These funds are all appropriated in the unforeseen expenditure line item. The Board is encouraged to fund the Contingency Fund at slightly less than $500,000 in 1981 in order to accommodate any adverse fiscal impacts in revenues or expenditures in 1981 that Weld County may face. In light of the fiscal situation in Weld County, it is prudent management to maintain this level of Contingency Fund in order to be able to respond to the unforeseen needs of the citizens of Weld County in 1981 and future years. The Solid Waste Fund is funded in the amount of $71,300. This program is funded from the proceeds of the 5% surcharge the Board of County Commissioners enacted August 1, 1979 to support solid waste disposal activities in Weld County. The proposed funding level of $71,300 is composed of a fund balance of $33,800 and the anticipated 1981 revenue of $37,500. It is recommended that the entire amount be utilized to pave roads 7 and 6 accessing the Erie landfill. This use is in accordance with the anticipated use of the surcharge in that the road construction is necessary to support the traffic utilizing the landfill. Depending, upon the final financial arrangements of the funding of roads 7 and 6, it may be necessary for the Board to commit the funds gene- rated in the Solid Waste. Fund for the next three years to pay for this road project. 158 BUDGET UNIT RECUEST SUMMARY FISCAL YEAR 1981 AGENCY/DEPT.
