4 OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS - The adopted budget includes $25,600 for the purchase of four data collectors for survey tool stations. Used by survey crews, the current data collectors have exceeded their useful life and are no longer supported by the vendor. The new collectors will reduce equipment failures, which can cause surveys to be redone. - The Real Estate Division budget is decreased by $77,330 (-17.1%). This is primarily due to the sale of the Bryce A. Stuart Building to the City of Winston-Salem and resulting reduction of rent the division pays for their share of the building. There is a similar revenue decrease in the Real Estate Division for the rebate received from the Risk Acceptance Management Corporation (RAMCO). This rebate will no longer be received beginning in FY

9 PROPERTY AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS - Continued - The adopted budget includes the addition of one associate fleet technician and one senior fleet technician to assist with preventative maintenance and general repairs of heavy equipment ($75,180). As part of its FY work plan, the Citizens Budget Advisory Council (CBAC) reviewed North Carolina Benchmarking Project (NCBP) performance measurement data for Fleet Maintenance. Data from the FY NCBP report showed that the City had fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) fleet technician positions than similarly-sized cities (Charlotte, Durham, Greensboro, and High Point). In addition, the NCBP data showed that the City s effectiveness measures (timely work order completion and available rolling stock) had decreased over time. The CBAC found that the City s fleet was on average 20.8% older than the comparison cities. In addition, they found that the volume and cost of outsourced equipment repairs had risen over time. The additional two positions in the adopted budget would reduce the number of outsourced vehicle repairs and allow the Fleet Services Division to continue a robust preventative maintenance system. This would improve turn-around times and potentially reduce departmental fleet maintenance and repairs costs. Facilities Management - Gross expenditures in the Facilities Management Division budget are increased $1,914,520, or 32.5%, primarily due to the City s purchase of the Bryce A. Stuart Municipal Building (+$1,803,460) from the Risk Acceptance Management Corporation (RAMCO) in September Although gross expenditures show an increase for operating the facility and making debt service payments, budgeted rent payments from departments nearly offset the entire increase. The FY net budget for this facility is $86,100, which reflects no rental revenue from the space formerly used as a restaurant. Under the City s ownership, departmental rent payments are budgeted to decrease $449,320 from the prior year. Cemeteries - The Cemeteries Division budget is increased $58,070, or 10.0%, primarily due to increases in the wages for temporary employees (+$18,030) and replacement of three zero turn mowers (+$21,300) for cemeteries maintenance. Cemeteries operating revenues are decreased $31,000, or 7.3%, as certain types of grave spaces are projected to sell out in FY As part of the FY budget, the Cemeteries Division was moved into the general fund in anticipation of higher operating losses resulting from Sections J and L at New Evergreen Cemetery running out of available space. Going forward, the general fund will cover all operating losses at New Evergreen and Woodland Cemeteries. - The cemeteries operating budget includes a contribution from the cemetery perpetual care fund to cover maintenance expenses associated with those areas of the cemeteries that are occupied. The amount of the contribution is based on 5% of the average of the immediately preceding three year-end balances of the fund. For FY , the contribution from the cemetery perpetual care fund is increased $22,930, or 16.9%, due to increased investment income in the fund in FY and FY The following chart provides a projection of the fund balance for the cemetery perpetual care fund. The decrease in perpetual care fund balance beginning in FY is reflective of the decrease in plot sales at New Evergreen Cemetery. Plot sales and subsequent contributions to the perpetual care fund will continue to decrease as sections of New Evergreen Cemetery fill to capacity. 167
