'I' T 1 Introduction and Background 1 I: 'T (- J' / ! , i i ! I / " '" :. i' ,. -, ..... T of "''i Introduction and Background on Richmond County Locatiol!) and Governments Richmond County (the County) is located in the mid-eastem portion of the State of Georgia on the Savannah River which also serves as the border between the states of South Carolina and Georgia. The CoulIIty is the most populous of the thirteen county Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) in Georgia and the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) comprising five counties in Georgia and South Carolina. Augusta, Hephzibah and Blythe comprise the incorporated municipalities within the County. Richmond County was created by legislative act in the State of Georgia in 1903. The County i5: governed by an eight-member Board of County Commissioners elected for four year terms with an appointed County Administrator. On June 20, 1995, the voters approved the consolidation of the governments of Richmond County and the City of Augusta effective January 1, 1996. The consolidation of the two governments is awaiting the approval of the U. S. Justice Department. This report dC1es not address the consolidated governments. Populati'Dn and Economy' Richmond County and the metropolitan have experienced stable and steady population growth since 1950 (Sel~ Table 1). The County experienced its fastest growth in population in the period from 1950-1980, increasing in population from 108,876 to 181,629 an increase of66.8%. The current population- (1995) of the County is estimated at 199,726 which represents 40.4% of the MSA population of 494,530. The County's share of the MSA population has steadily decreased from the high of 63.5% in 1950. This is due to the rapid growth in -the adjoining counties particularly in Columbia County. Projections of future increases in population growth reflect a slower rate of increase than prior decades reaching 209,015 in the year 2000 and 227,236 by the year 2010. The incre~ase in population has likewise been accompanied by increases in the tax digest. Table 2 indicates that the assessed value of all property in Richmond County increased from $1.5 billion in 1984 to S3.2 billion in 1995 for an increase of III %. Expectations are that the tax digest will continue to experience steady growth (in the range of2-3% annually) throughout the decade reaching $3.5 billion by the year 2000. Of panicu1ar importance to the local economy is Fort Gordon, .the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, the medical community anchored by the Medical College of Georgia, continued expansion of the industrial sector and the increasing contribu~on from the tourism and convt~ntion market. Expectations from community leaders are that the consolidation of the governments of Augusta and Richmond County will create increased levels of development interest in the area.. Finance and Taxes Background. The County operates on a January to December fiscal year basis. On or before the third Tuesday in November of each year the County adopts a tentative budget for the coming year , in compliance with County Code Section 2-161. The permanent budget is adopted by the :/ Commission on or before the second meeting of the Commission in February as provided for in th~- County Code (Section 2-162). All funds must be balanced on an annual basis. The County Jr' I 2 i i r / . J.

For financial reporting purposes, the County includes all funds and account groups that are controlled by or dependent on the CountY. . The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by the County. Overview-Combined Funds. Table 3 provides a general financial overview of County operations by showing revenues and expenses for all funds for the period 1991-199'5. Total revenue for all funds is projected. to be $119,597)3.9 for 1995. The general fund, special. purpose local option sales tax (phase II) and the water and sewer fund account for the majority of the revenue as presented in the table with 4 L 6 %, 18.4% and 10.8% respectively of the total. These three funds account for approximately 700!cl of the total revenue and eXpense activity. The proportionate share of these funds to total activity has been fairly stable for the period 1991-1995. Revenue growth for all funds has averaged about 4.5% per year since 199 L On a year to year basis, the fluctuation in expenses is mainly attributable to scheduling of sales tax projects. General Fund. The general fund is the general operating fund of the Cou~ty. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. As noted in Table 3, the general fund accounts for more than 41% of total revenue and expense activity for all funds. Table 4 shows a breakdown of revenue and expenses for the general fund for the period 1991- 1995. Ofparticular note is that taxes will account for approximately 70~o of all general fund revenue and public safety for approximately 31 % of general fund expenses. It should be pointed out that the local option sales tax (not special purpose) was shown in a separate fund in 1991 and not accounted for under the category of taxes and consequently explains why taxes appear low for that year. Collections under the local option sales tax in 1991 are shown as transfer in ($23,558,894) under revenues which includes an accumulated balance of $4,705,000 from prior year's collection. Table 5 shows projected revenue and expenses for the general fund during the period 1996-2000. Both revenue and expense projections are based on past growth trends for each category. Revenues are projected to increase to approximately $57.6 million in the year 2000 ('!pproximately 16% over the five-year period). The financial impacts of the new jail and the addition of two new judges in the Superior Court are included based on the following assumptions: . Assumes opening of the new jail in December 1997. . When fully operational, an additional 84 law enforcement positions will be required to staff the new jail and expansion at the existing law enforcement center. These positions are budgeted at $24,868 each including salary, fringe benefits and related overhead. Twenty-four additional positions are budgeted in public safety for this purpose in the fourth quarter of 1997, a total of forty-two additional positions in 1998 and the full eighty-four additional positions in 1999. When fully staffed the operational costs of the new facilities in 1995 dollars will be $2,088,912. . The new jail will have 147,800 square feet and the addition at the existing law enforcement center will contain an additional 24,000 square feet. The additional costs for maintenance and janitorial services are estimated to be $5.58 per square foot which includes an additional five positions. This additio.nal cost of $961 ,962 is included in the administration expense category beginning in 1998. 5 " .' ~, C:1\ C:1\ ~'" I ~'" C:1\ C:I'\ ~'" ..

With the addition of two new judges in Superior Court and the new jail becoming operational, the projected revenue in fines and fees have been increased as follows: 1997- $200,000, 1998-$800,000, 1999-$1,500,000 and 2000-$2,500,000. No major capital projects are budgeted or provided for in the general fund. Since the approval of the special pW'pose local option sales tax in 1988 all qualifying major capital improvements are budgeted in the sales tax fund or other fund accounts. The financial consequences of failure to renew this tax on the general fund is discussed later in this section. Tax Digest and Millage Rates As previously indicated, the assessed value of all.property in Richmond County in 1994 was $3.2 billion. Table 2, as presented earlier,. shows the breakdown of the digest by category. By far the most important category is real and. personal property which accounts for approximately 88% of the digest. Certain exemptions (homestead, freeport & amendment 74) reduces the total value of the digest. The net value after these exemptions in 1994 was $2.3 billion. The net assessed valuation is important to local governmental jurisdictions since that is the value upon which the tax millage is applied. In the County, one mill of property tax in 1994 generated property taxes in the amount of $2.34 million. Table 6 presents the millage rates for all taxing jurisdictions in Richmond County. For a resident of the unincorporated area, the total millage in 1994 was 27.22 mills. Of this total, only 7.4 mills were levied by Richmond County for operations and debt service. Thelargest portion of the millage is levied by the Board of Education in the amount of 19.57 mills or 71.9% of the total tax rate. In 1980, the Georgia Constitution was amended to establish a ceiling or cap on the millage which could be imposed in any tax year after January 1981. Table 7 shows a comparison of the actual tax millage imposed by the CountY for general fund operations, debt service and fire protection with the millage rate ceiling allowed by the law for the period from 1985-1994. For instance, in 1994 the actual millage imposed by the County for general fund operations was 6.53 mills and the maximum allowed under the tax cap law was 8.77 mills,.or a difference of2.24 mills. The closest the County has come to reaching the cap in the general fund was in 1987 when the actual millage was only. 76 mills under the cap. The limitations imposed by the millage rate ceiling, obviously limits the ability of the County to raise additional revenue in any given year for unusual projects, especially major capital improvement projects. 1bis limitation stresses the importance of other special revenue sources such as the special pW'pose local option sales tax. As noted earlier, this source of funds has provided the County with virtually all of the revenue for major capital improvement projects in the general fund since its inception in 1988. The importance ofth~ special purpose local option sales tax is illustrated by Table 8 which shows the sales tax collections since 1988 in comparison with the additional property taxes which would have been generated by imposing the maximum millage rate allowed under the tax cap (ceiling). T ota! collections from the special purpose local option sales tax for the period 1988-1994 was $156,993,260 compared to an additional $31,795,272 in property taxes had the maximum millage rate been imposed as allowed under the tax cap. In other words, the additional property tax revenue would have only constituted approximately 20% of the funds generated by the sales tax for 9 i' -:. .. -. ~ r '\.'

The special tax was imposed for a maximum of four years. The revenues were to be used for road, street and bridge purposes. The County irtegotiated an agreement with the Cities of Augusta and Hephzibah which provided that Augusta would receive 190./0 and Hephzibah-would receive .75% of the tax collections for qualifying capital improvement projects within their respective jurisdictions. Table 10 illustrates the total collections by year, the amounts received by the Cities of Augusta and Hephzibah and the net collections to the County. The tax generated gross revenues of $85,974,246 for the four-year period it was in, effect. When interest and other income is added to the net collections, the County had approximately $79.9 million available for capital projects in Phase I.

',' " ~ Process for Development of Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Purpo.se. Richmond County as all other local governments carry out numerous capital improvement projects every year. They may range from extensions of utility lines to the construction of major public ibuildings such as a jail. WIth the. shortage of federal, state and local dollars for capjtal projects, it is e~;sential for the County to carefully analyze the way it programs funds for various capital improvements to be sure that it stretches its limited dollars as far as possible. The basic reason for a capital improvements program is to do just that-to inSure that the limited capital funds are being spent wisely. The CIP also helps balance competing pressure for limited funds and to demonstrate to the public that fairness and' objectivity are being exercised in public spending. Essentially, capital improvement prognumning includes scheduling of public physical improvements for the community over a. certain period of time, with consideration for priorities and financial capabilities of the community. Increasingly, local governments are utilizing a pro-active citizen panicipation process to develop a community consensus in the selection and prioritization of capital projects. Benef1its. The benefits of preparirig a capital improvements plan are numerous, but the most signifi(:ant are: · Identifies alternative funding sources and means of financing the capital improvements. " Evaluates the capitaJ needs for a five-year period in a coordinated comprehensive fashion. " Provides a method of ranking, evaluating and prioritizing project needs and costs to determine. if a project is both desirable and cost effective. " Ensures that needed public facilities are provided in a timely manner for the benefit of the citizens. · Offers the opportunity for long-range financial planning to prepare for not only capital costs, but also maintelU1TlCe, operation and staffing expenses resulting from new facilities. " Assists in the preparation of grant applications for federal and state assistance to leverage limited county funds. " Helps stabilize property tax rates and budgets by providing needed improvements in a coordinated manner without a major financial burden in any one year. " Offers the opportunity of involving citizens early in the process so that their comments, recommendations and suppon for projects can be determined and solidified " Permits early identification ofneWfaci/ity sites so that they can be acquired early at a 'potential cost savings. " . Encourages cooperation and coordination between departments and helps eliminate costly conflicts. Review of Current Plans. In the process of developing the CIP it was important to utilize and build upon the planning efforts already completed by Richmond County. The following documents were reviewed to determine either identified projects or community goals and needs: . . . Updated Comprehensive Plan for Richmond County. Augusta Regional Transportation Study. Phase I and Phase II of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Program. 22 Public Hearings. In consultation with the County officials, it was decided that the identification of the capital projects should be accomplished through an open, public participation process. To achieve this goal seven public meetings were scheduled throughout the eight County Commission districts. Additionally, meetings were held with the South Richmond County Pride and Progress Committee and the Belle Terrace Neighborhood Association. The comments and proposals received at these meetings are included in Appendix C. At each of the public meetings, participants were requested to rank the type of capital projects which they felt were most important and needed in either their neighborhood or the County and submit specific projects which they would like to see included in the CIP. Also infonnation was distributed on the status of capital projects currently being funded by either Phase I or Phase II of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program and the type of projects which were eligible for funding under this program. Copies of these forms are included in Appendix D. . The results of the survey taken at each of the meetings for the commission districts are shown in . Table 12 as well as a combined total for all the district meetings. The most important capital needs as identified at these meetings were recreation improvements, followed. by road improvements, stonn drainage improvements and additional libraries. Within the individual districts, the results were essentially the same with road improvements receiving the number one ranking in Districts 6 & 8 and stonn drainage improvements receiving the number ranking in District 2. .:; 23 ;; '; - u E III CC co!!!

As mentioned earlier, the County has not budgeted any funds for major capital improVI~ent projects in the general fund since the inception of the special purpose local option sales tax program in 1988. Capital projects normally funded from the general fund would include recreation, road improvements, . storm drainage, libraries, and public buildings. Vehicles and equipment have been funded for from the general fund since they have a fairly shon life and must be replaced on a regular basis. Other major capital projects which the County undertakes for water and sewer :lmprovements and waste management (landfill) have been budgeted and financed in their separate enterprise funds. As noted earlier in Chapter I, Richmond County has experience substantial growth over the last several decades. This growth trend is expected to continue over the next decade with the population increasing by approximately 9% to 218,094 by the year 2005. As the County continues to grow, there 'Will be increasing demand for additional services from the citizens, improvements to existing servi~: associated with a growing population, rising operating costs, replacement imd modernization of outdated capital facilities and less financial assistance from federal and state sources. A total of 241 projects has been identified and reviewed with a cost of approximately $23 1 million for the period 1996-2000. The County will be unable to meet these increasing capital needs from local prlJperty taxes. As illustrated in Table 8, the additional revenue from property taxes is limited even if the County were to levy the maximum millage allowed under the millage rate ceiling. For instance:, road improvements alone would require an additional annual levy of 4.8 mills in property taxes, based on the 1994 tax digest, to generate the additional funds to construct the capital projects identifi(~. This means that the County must explore other sources of funds, other than property taxes, if they are to provide the needed or oftentimes mandated capital projects. It is also imperative that the: County schedule and prioritize the projects in such a manner to take full advantage of the limited federal and state funds that are available. This is particularly true with transponation projects in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Transportation. In this manner, the limited local funds that are available can be leveraged to have the maximum impact. During the course of this study, the following sources of funding have been identified for this purpose: . -General Obligation Bonds - Revenue Bonds - - Certificates of Participation -Federal Grants · :State Grants - Increases in Millage Rates (propeny taxes) - :Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) . Privatization Taking the above into consideration, the County has decided that the most equitable and logical manner to fund the general fund type capital projects which have been identified over the next five years i~; seek voter approval of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for five additional years. This tax, if approved by the voters, would be identified as Phase ill of the program. Two estimates of projected revenue to be generated by the extension of the tax have been prepared. 44 A low estimate, which repre~nts an annual increase in collections of 3.8% between 1996-2000, would generate an estimated $153 million. A higher estimate, which represents an annual increase in collections of 5.5%, would generate an estimated $163 .7 million for the period 1996-2000. Table 15 indicates the projected revenue by year which would be generated by the extension of this tax under the two different growth rates. It also shows the collections which would be made available to the City of Augusta, City ofHephzibah and Richmond County under the agreement negotiated by the County with those respective cities. Historically, sales tax collections have increased at an annual rate of 5.4% for the period 1988-1995.

Planning, Research & Management Associates Project Evaluation, Rating and Ranking. Given the decisio~ made by the County to fund the identified capital projects through an extension of the SPLOST, each project identified in Table 14 was reviewed in consultation with the County Attorney to determine eligibility under Georgia Code Section 48-8-110 et seq. Following the eligibility determination, each project was reviewed and rated 45 .' by the Technical Advisory Committee appointed by the County to assist in the preparation of the Capital Improvements Plan. If a project was deemed eligible, it was assigned a numeric score to the degree that it met the criteria as outlined in illustration 5. Ifa project was detennined to be ineligible, it was not rated. The determination of ineligibility did not mean it was not a worthwhile project but that it. was not eligible for sales tax funds under the existing state law. Also similar projects were combined such as all the renovations to the 51 individual parks (4.32-4.82), several public building projeC1:s for the print shop, mail room, new probation offices and several projects were eliminated which were no longer necessary or otherwise being solved, After c~ach qualifying project was rated, they were subsequently ranked according to the numeric score teceived. Table 17 lists all projects which are eligible for funding under Phase ill of the SPLOST program, the Commission District in which the project is located or affects, a project description and estimate of cost. Table 16 provides a summary of qualifying projects by category. The total cost of eligible projects is $147,25,488. The categories of road improvements (37.4%), recreation (27.9%), public buildings (13.7%) and stonn drainage (7.4%) account for approximately 86% of projects which are. eligible.

Pllanning, Research & Management Associates Table 17 lists projects in order of point score. The highest rated project is listed first and the project receiving the fewest point~ is listed last Renovations to the existing parks received the highest score with 73.1 points. This listing, by placing the highest scoring projects at the top of the list, brings attention to those projects which have the greatest overall impact on the County. Since the net project1ed revenues to be received by the County from the SPLOST totals $112,245,268 and the list 46 ofeliglble projects totals $147,225,488 it will be necessary to cut approximately $35 million from the list of projects or find other sources of funding for these additional projects, Another important point that must be considered in evaluating the potential projects is the annual impact on operating and maintenance cost associated with the projects. In a general sense, the construction of recreational facilities such as community centers, gymnasiums and swimming pools require substantial increases in operating funds to maintain and operate the facilities. On the other hand, the paving of a str~ may actually reduce maintenance cost associated with maintaining the unpaved street. In an effoit to begin to identify any operating and.mairitenance cost associated with the projects listed in Table 17, the impact of the project on the operating budgets is indicated. "None" indicates no effect, "Low" indicates operating costs up to $30,000, "Moderate" indicates operating costs between $30,000-$75,000 and "High" indicates projects with an annual operating cost of more than $75,000. Since all future increases in operating and maintenance costs must be included in the general fund budget, the County must carefully evaluate those capital projects which have future year costs associated with them. As indicated in Chapter 2, the County is limited in its ability to take on additional costs in the general fund given the projected growth in the tax digest and the previous commitments associated with the new jail. . 47 .'

Recommended Plan ,. A working session was held on July 11, 1995, with the members of the Richmond County Board of Commissioners to review the projects which had been proposed for funding from Phase ill of the special purpose local option sales tax. The Commissioners ranked the broad categories of eligible projects just as the participants in the publicmfll1l'ht,~ did. The Commissioners ranked storm drainage as the most important capital need followed by road improvements and recreation, whereas, the participallts at the public meetings ranked recreation as the most important capital need followed by road improvements and storm drainage. The results from the Conunissioners survey is shown in Table 18. Table 18 Results of Capital Needs Priority Survey by Couoty Commissionen . Cate:ory Storm Drainage Road Improvements Recreation Cultural Library Courthouse Building Landfill Other (Economic Development) Hospital Civic Center Jail Correctional Facilities' Coliseum Rank/Points Received 1 (35) . 2 (29) 3 (26) 4 (11) 5 (7) 6 (4) 6 (4) 8 (3) 9 (1) (0) (0) (0) (0) Planning, Research & Management ~sociata ;. I . Additio~py, the Commissioners reviewed each of the eligible projects listed in Table 17 and ranked their need: as either "high", "moderate" or "low". The results of this project ranking and the capital needs SUIiley by the Commissioners were used in conjunction with the results of the public meetings and the rankings of the projects by the Technical Advisory Committee to develop the recommended list ofprctjects to be funded from the extension of the special purpose local option sales tax (phase Ill). Since the estimated cost of the identified capital projects to be funded by the sales tax exceeded the antici.pated sales tax revenues it was: decided to divide the projects into two groups. Tier one would be: the first priority projects to be funded from the anticipated sales tax revenues (low estimate ) and tier two would be undertaken at the discretion of the Commission if sales tax revenues exceeded the low estimate which are projected to be received in Table 15 and from cost savings and 57 ,-:.' ;- other reimbursements from tier one projects. Since the sales tax collections are subject to fluctuations in the economy, there is no completely accurate method of forecasting revenues from this tax. Due to the dependency relationship of sales tax collections to eonomic activity, ,it was decided to prepare the .low and high estimate of revenue collections and the resulting two tier listing of projects. ,;; - Table 20 also indicates a proposed. plan for scheduli,ng and managing projects based on project priorities and annual revenues generated by the sales tax. A tentative year to begin implementation of each project is indicated in the table. This scheduling plan generally equates the projects to anticipated revenues for each Year.'. Due to .state matching funds, particularly in the area of transportation, it will be necessary for the Commission to continually monitor and coordinate priority schedules with the Georgia Department of Transportation and other funding sources. Projects which already have a commitment for other funding are so indicated. The Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transport anon has previously committed $0.75 for each $1.00 of County money devoted to mutually acceptable and eligible road and bridge projects. Potential projects for these matching funds are identified as "possible DOT county contract IJ within the table. The Commission may find it necessary to modify the scheduling, rearrange priorites and adjust projects to leverage the sales tax funds. A summary of the priority projects recommended for funding from Phase ill of the SPLOST program is shown in Table 19: A project total of$112,020,614 is shown for fundingJrom Tier One (low estimate) and an additional $7,689,752 in projects in Tier Two if revenue collections exceed the ..
