7 Profile of the County Richland County was organized into a separate political entity in It encompasses nineteen townships, six villages, with Lexington being the largest, the City of Shelby, a small portion of the Cities of Crestline and Galion, the City of Ontario, and the City of Mansfield, which is the County seat. The County has an area of 449 square miles and has a population of 122,673, according to an estimate by the United States Census Bureau. A three-member Board of Commissioners, thirteen other elected officials and various department heads govern the County. Elected officials and department heads manage the internal operations of their respective divisions. The chief administrator of the County is the Board of Commissioners which authorizes expenditures and serves as the budget and taxing authority and contracting body for County services. The County Auditor is fiscal officer, assessor of real and personal property, administrator of the data processing center and sealer of weights and measures. The Auditor is also responsible for maintenance of financial records, establishment of subdivision tax rates, calculation of the tax list, and distribution of the revenues generated from the tax list. The County Treasurer is custodian of all County funds and is responsible for the investment of those funds. The Treasurer also collects all revenues generated from the Auditor's tax list. Those remaining elected officials include the Clerk of Courts, Coroner, Engineer, Prosecuting Attorney, Recorder, Sheriff, two Common Pleas Court Judges, a Juvenile Judge, a Domestic Relations Judge, and Probate Judge. Richland County employs over 1000 people who provide various services to benefit its citizens. These services include welfare and social services, justice system services, sewer services, road and bridge services, support services, police protection and other miscellaneous County services. The County's reporting entity has been defined in accordance with principles established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity." The reporting entity is comprised of the primary government and its component units. The primary government consists of all funds, departments, agencies, institutions, commissions, and organizations that are not legally separate from the County. For Richland County, the primary government includes the Children Services Board, the Board of Developmental Disabilities (DD), the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board, the Job and Family Services Department, the Richland County Emergency Management Agency, and all departments and activities that are directly operated by the elected County officials. Component units are legally separate organizations that are fiscally dependent on the County or for which the County is financially accountable. Richland Newhope Industries, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation subsidized by the County. It has been included as a discretely presented component unit of the County in this report because, in the opinion of the County, it would be misleading if its operations were excluded. By statute, the annual appropriations adopted are by the Board of County Commissioners within the first quarter of the year. All disbursements and transfers of cash among funds require appropriation authority from the Board of Commissioners. Budgets are controlled at the object level for the general fund and at the fund level for all other funds. Purchase orders are submitted to the Auditor's Office by department heads; the funds are then encumbered prior to their release to vendors. Those purchase orders which exceed the available appropriations are rejected until additional resources are secured. 3

8 Local Economy The County is located in north central Ohio, approximately halfway between the cities of Columbus and Cleveland. This centralized location has been a key factor in the County s growth and economic development. The economy is broad based with no single industry dominating it. The County s largest employers include MedCentrall Health Systems, Richland County and Gorman-Ruppindustriess (excluding government), as reported by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The chart below shows the proportionate number of employees in the various Financial and Professional Services 20% Business Sectors Education and Health 18% Trade, Transportation, and Utilities 7% Other Services 4% Manufacturing 16% Construction 11% Goods Producing 24% Despite the diversity of the business sectors, the County has an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, slightly higher than the state average of 7.2 percent. Although the unemployment rate is higher than the state average becausee of Richland County s centralized location many companies have expressed interest in expanding operations to our area. Unemployment Rates 14..0% 12..0% 12.6% 11.8% 10.3% 10..0% 8..0% 6..0% 4..0% 2..0% 7.2% 5.0% 7.2% 6. 5% 6.1% 5.7% 5. 5% 5.5% 6.5% 5.6% 7.4% 6.5% 10.2% 10.1% 8.6% 8.3% 7.2% 0..0% State of Ohio Richland County 4

9 Long-Term Financial Planning Richland County has an ongoing one and one quarter percent permissive sales tax of which the initial half percent and two-thirds of the additional three quarter percent benefits the County s General Fund. A portion of the other one-third of the additional three quarter percent is given to the County s cities, villages and townships to be used for road improvements. During the last six months of 2012 the County enacted an additional ¼ percent sales tax in an effort to increase cash reserves to receive a higher bond rating on future debt borrowings. The County operates a jail that combines both Richland County and the City of Mansfield s jail facilities into one structure. The City of Mansfield leases 80 beds and pays the County for housing and medical costs of their inmates. The County acts as the central booking agent for both County and City prisoners and the City provides ambulatory services for the facility. The consolidation allows both entities to lower their costs and to more efficiently operate their correctional operations. Relevant Financial Policies The County s Budget Commission has developed a practice of establishing certificates of estimated resources based on ninety percent of estimated revenues. This practice helps account for fluctuations in sales tax, and other economic driven factors affecting the County s revenue sources. For calendar year 2012 and 2013 budgets the County took the drastic step to reduce local government revenue by 30 percent and 50 percent respectively of 2010 revenue, due to State budget cuts. The County also has developed a policy to allocate permissive sales tax between the County s general fund and cities, villages and townships in the County. Major Initiatives During 2012, the County s sewer department continued construction on two projects: Harp abandonment, and the Lust and Country Meadow abandonment. The projects are being funded by loans from the Ohio Public Works Commission and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act monies in accordance with agreements between the County commissioners and the grantors. The Richland County One-Stop Employment and Training Center continues to offer free employment services for businesses and job seekers. Employers can use the Training Center to seek out available applicants, while job seekers can use the facility for help with resume writing and locating available job opportunities. The Training Center also features a resource room furnished with seven computer stations, one of which offers software for people with physical and visual impairments. During 2012, the Training Center offered extended hours to better serve Richland County residents, as well as job fairs to help users find employment. The County has been working with the Richland County Foreclosure Prevention Committee to create ways to reduce the growing number of home foreclosures in the County. Home foreclosures have increased at a record pace over the last five years. The Committee is working to educate borrowers through the loan process to ensure they do not get a mortgage they cannot afford. The Committee is also working to create a mediation process between lenders and borrowers to resolve foreclosure cases without the borrower losing their home. 5
