Intro to Public Adminstration

due Sunday Feb 4, 2018 at 8 pm

Week four discussion

Question 1

Milakovich and Gordon discuss the trend in recent years to “privatize” or “contract out” work previously managed and financed by public entities. We have seen this approach applied to everything from managing prisons to educating children. Discuss and provide some examples of this dynamic. Are there some policy areas that you think are well suited for privatization? Are there responsibilities where privatization might not be desirable?

Question 2

Our text focuses on federal government budgeting. While the federal government can run a deficit, local governments must balance their budgets (and so, too, must most state governments). Take a look at the

Chatham County (GA) 2016-2017 budget information

and note the listed revenue sources (pages 30-39) and the amount allocated to emergency management (page 83).

Select a different local or state government in the U.S. and do in-person or Internet research to find a recent annual budget for that government; list its key sources of revenue and the amounts from each source. If available, note the budget amount for the emergency management. Provide a link (or contact office if you obtained in hard copy) for your source of information.

Question 3

In an essay of approximately 250 words, identify and explain how complex decision-making structures in U.S. government affects the role of emergency managers. In your essay, explore one or more impacts – positive or negative — this system can have on emergency management. In addition to the text, reference at least one credible government or academic source. Provide in-text citations and a reference/works cited list in APA Style. Submit your essay to Turnitin before uploading it here.

Question 4

You have been asked to brief a federal agency administrator on how to evaluate a program under his/her agency’s control. Select one of the following U.S. federal programs related to emergency management and, conducting additional research as needed, identify several key points you would recommend to evaluate the effectiveness of program you selected.

Explain the relevance (and the source, if applicable) of the points you recommend. Consider how evaluating disaster and security-related programs might be different from evaluating other types of government programs.

Fiscal Year 2017 Proposed Budget & Budget Message

Chairman Albert J. Scott, Board of Commissioners
& the Citizens of Chatham County:
As I send you the proposed budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, it is a good time to take stock of our
financial health. I can report that it is strong: we have an AA bond rating, which places Chatham County
in a mid-level position as compared to more than 3,000 counties nationwide. We can do better. With
the Board’s direction, we have established the 90 day reserve, we are setting aside funds for CIP
(Capital Improvement Projects), and we are setting a course of action that will make us eligible for
being re-rated with the intention of reaching AAA status. This will not only define Chatham County as
a financially sound local government but will additionally demonstrate that we are following plans set
forth financially without major deviation. These actions also make Chatham eligible for lower cost
financing as we become an attractive risk to investors. This will prove that our
administration/management ability is strong in the field of finance, planning and implementation of
financial policies, placing Chatham County on course for a potential upgrade in the bond rating, saving
the County millions in future debt costs.
In order to understand where we are headed, it is important to understand the regional economic
impacts in our county and community. Our revenues and expenditures are driven by housing,
manufacturing, retail sales, etc. and we as local government must understand these complex issues
in order to develop long term plans to meet the needs of the community. Therefore, in cooperation
with Armstrong State University, an economic impact analysis has been prepared covering 2016-2017
for your review in Attachment A. Without a map, direction or plan, we will waste precious time and
investment opportunities for our community. Planning is the key to our potential success.
We have reasonable and improving reserve levels and a good balance sheet with affordable debt
levels – giving us the ability to continue infrastructure investments in our community with strategic
planning and guidance as to revenue sources. This isn’t an accident – it is the direct result of a strong
tradition of sound financial and management practices. So why are strong finances so important?
Without them, it would be very difficult to provide the breadth, depth and quality of services for which
we are known.
This proposed budget continues this tradition. As we approach this year’s budget process, we do have
challenges – but they are good challenges. They are a direct result of our success as a vibrant, growing
and diverse community. First among these is meeting the demands of a growing population, which
presents challenges to Chatham County infrastructure as well as County parks, Libraries, Public
Works, Building Safety, Engineering, Human Services, etc. We face demands for infrastructure
investment. We face demands for new services for a growing senior and millennial population and
workforce. We also face demands to keep up with core service delivery and program expansion in
public safety and SCMPD (Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police Department), and to support the
poorest and most vulnerable in our community all supported in the Chatham County Blueprint.
1

All of these demands must be balanced against the tax burden impacts on our residents and
businesses. We must achieve this balance as we face an increasingly competitive economic
environment. We want to keep the Chatham County community as one that people and future industry
want to come to, to live, work, play and be successful.
This proposed budget provides an approach to balancing these competing priorities, made possible
by our economic and financial strength. With continual guidance from the Board of Commissioners
that directed me in my proposed budget to:
o Fund services that meet the areas determined through the ongoing Chatham Blueprint
process: (Attachment B)

• Economy
• Education
• Health
• Quality of Life

o Present a balanced budget that assumes no increase in tax rates or fees while increasing
services in areas or at a minimum keeps services level through better efficiency.
o Present options to the Board for budget consideration.
o Secure other revenue resources through grants, State & Federal assistance
o Increase the County’s financial position, financial planning efforts and Bond rating
As directed by the Board of Commissioners, the proposed budget is balanced and assumes no
increase in tax rates and program expansions are included where an actual “ROI” (Return on
Investment) can be determined and justified. This proposed budget does provide ongoing funding to
address structural budget issues in a few strategic areas denoted in the County Blueprint and is
detailed as an attachment (attachment B) to this Budget Message. Of course, the Zero Based or Needs
Based Budget approach was paramount in developing this budget as our new budget Team required
justification of every item, project or personnel both existing and new to ensure investment of tax funds
were appropriately allocated.
Emphasis was placed on establishing a “real” Capital Plan for the County with starting to budget for
capital needs of existing structure, buildings and projects. This is an area that is critical in our quest to
secure a stronger financial future. As budgeted in 2016, a complete analysis of all County buildings to
determine future replacement needs such as chillers, boilers, HVAC, roof systems, etc., based on their
life expectancy. This formal analysis also determined expansion of the Facilities Maintenance &
Operations Division was necessary to more adequately service the existing facilities to include two
additional personnel members and vehicles. The facility analysis also recommends a better work order
and tracking system to ensure more efficient completion of repairs and to bring about a higher level
maintenance program giving the County maximum life of equipment and systems. I would like to
commend the Facilities Department as it was noted that the department is operating at a high level
regarding repairs and maintenance. However, with “tweaking” the system and adding a tracking/work
order system, Chatham County Facilities should operate at maximum efficiency.
There were areas we were unable to find funding for including but not limited to the State Cooperative
Mowing program. At this time the cost of taking over the State routes for maintenance is out of range
of affordability; therefore, we will seek to find ways within our existing program to maintain roads the
County is presently responsible for and prioritize the upkeep of said roads. I am in hopes that over the
next year we can collectively find a way to expand roadway mowing and maintenance. However, there
are many changes in revenues and expenditures that I would like to highlight for the Board and the
citizens shown in Attachment C denoting percentage of change from last fiscal year. As can be seen

Chatham County –
Economic Outlook 2016-2017
Chatham\Metro Savannah Economy
The Chatham\Savannah metro economy continued in pause mode
through the fourth quarter of the year. Impressive gains in total
employment were offset by another decline in port activity and a
very modest dip in electricity sales. Tourism employment, plane
boarding’s at the airport and consumer confidence registered gains, as did the coincident index of
economic activity for the nation. In general, the underlying fundamentals of the regional economy
remain strong. The Coastal Empire leading economic index increased, but at a slower pace than
through the first three quarters of the year. The regional housing market improved during the
quarter, but labor market conditions modestly weakened. Unemployment insurance claims
increased during the fourth quarter, while consumer expectations in the South Atlantic states
declined. Expectations for growth in 2016 are modestly reduced from earlier projections, but the
momentum in overall employment growth is expected to continue into the second half of 2016.
Region: Fundamentals – Remain Strong
The Coastal Empire coincident economic index effectively held steady at 171.6 for the second
consecutive quarter. The continued momentum in employment growth supported the index, while
gains in airplane boarding’s and consumer confidence in the South Atlantic states also contributed.
The upside growth was limited by declines in electricity sales and port activity. The blip in electricity
sales appears transitory and is attributed to weakness in October, as November and December sales
rebounded healthily. Further, continued normalization of port activity, following the restoration of
west coast shipping patterns after labor strife there eased, returned cargo handling in Savannah to a
more sustainable level. Although TEU throughput is off 8% during the past six months, it remains 12%
ahead of 2014 on a year-to-date basis. Turning to the labor market, seasonally adjusted employment
in the three-county metro area increased 1,700 jobs to average 173,300 for the quarter. Over the-
year employment growth held steady at 3% and signaled the sixth consecutive quarter during which
regional employment growth exceeded the 3% mark.
At the sector level, employment in the tourism industry surged by 900 workers, while state
government added about the same amount. Business and professional services eased, shedding 200
workers during the quarter, but remains 11% higher than year-ago data. Overall, service sector
employment increased 1,400 jobs. In the goods-producing sector, manufacturing added 300 workers,
while construction firms added 100 workers, reversing a two-quarter string of losses in construction.
Construction employment climbed to 6,000. Total seasonally adjusted employment in manufacturing
increased to 17,500 in December, hitting a 25-year high.
5

U.S. Economy Slows Further
In the fourth quarter of 2015, U.S. economic growth slowed to 1% (annualized), down from the 2%
pace recorded during the third quarter of 2015. Underlying growth was supported by consumer
spending, residential construction, and federal government purchases. Nonetheless, consumers
slowed their spending somewhat, dropping annualized consumption growth to 2% from 3%. Non-
residential construction fell at a 6.6% pace, while residential construction grew at 8%. Government
spending slipped to 0.1% from 1.8%. The Wall Street Journal consensus forecast for GDP growth in
2016 is 2.3%, a slight decline from the 2.4% growth experienced in 2015.
The Fed finally moved on interest rates as 2015 drew to a close. A rate increase had been expected
in September, but volatility in financial markets and economic uncertainty overseas, particularly in
China, put a damper on that plan. In December, the Fed pushed the short term interest rate to 0.24%,
the first increase since the Great Recession. Fed officials have noted the moderate pace of economic
growth, diminished slack in the labor market, and generally healthy gains in household spending and
business investment as the setting stage for additional increases. While the recent slowdown in U.S.
economy may have put those plans on hold for further evaluation, expect another rate hike before
the end of 2016.
Forecasting Index Points to Continued Growth
The Coastal Empire leading economic index increased four-tenths of one percent (1.7%, annualized),
rising to 152.5 from 151.8 in the previous quarter. The pace of increase declined during the fourth
quarter, falling below 2% for the first time since mid-2013. Gains in the housing market were offset
by falling consumer expectations and an increase in the number of new claims for unemployment
insurance. In the housing market, building permit issuance for single-family homes moved above 500
(to 509 units) homes per quarter; a level not seen since mid-2007 before the housing market bubble
burst. Building permit issuance was 25% higher than year-ago data (see the chart). The average value
of a single-family home building permit rebounded somewhat, rising 3.7% to $206,000, slightly above
the two year average value of $202,500. In the labor market, seasonally adjusted initial claims for
unemployment insurance (UI) increased 7.1% to 758 per month from 707 claims. While UI claims
ticked up, this followed a particularly strong third quarter figure. By comparison, UI claims remained
6% below the figure recorded for the fourth quarter of 2014. Combining the usual number of UI claims
with steady job growth led to the unemployment rate ticking down to 5.25% from 5.4% in the third
quarter (seasonally adjusted). The unemployment rate was 6.5% one year ago.
Conclusion
In summary, the coincident index of economic activity indicates Savannah’s economy generally held
steady during the closing quarter of 2015. The forecasting index is suggesting continued moderation
in regional economic activity through the first half of 2016. The declining growth rate of the leading
index, while meriting continued monitoring in early 2016, is not a particularly troubling read this
quarter, especially given the strong momentum of underlying economic fundamentals for the region
(employment growth, tourism, port activity). Expect continued employment gains and economic
expansion in the Savannah metro economy through mid-2016, at the pace of about 2.5%, rather than
6

the 3% or higher rates of growth experienced through 2015. 2016-2017 should bring about growth
in local revenues. Estimates show just under 2% growth in the tax digest and sales tax revenues.
Though this appears low, it is a steady increase since the recession. This growth rate forces local
governments to think strategically in meeting the needs of citizens and businesses and to be
conservative in estimating revenues.

Reclassification of Mosquito Control Operator position (Program Cost – $106,170) Department currently has two
pilot positions, Chief Pilot and Pilot/Mechanic. The Chief Pilot duties require that position to be classified as a
supervisory position, which is considered an exempt position according to the Fair Labor Standards Act and, as such,
not eligible for overtime pay. The current Chief Pilot is paid straight time for hours worked over 40 per week. The
reclassification of a vacant Mosquito Control Operator position to Pilot/Mechanic results in a third pilot position
allowing the Chief Pilot to concentrate on the supervisory aspects and enable management of the overtime budget.
The two Pilot/Mechanic positions would perform the bulk of the evening missions while on a 4-day/10-hour
schedule, thus decreasing overtime expenditures. This would, in tum, allow the Chief Pilot to work a standard 40-
hour work week. Human Resources has reviewed the request and agrees. The County Manager recommends this
reclassification. Approved cost – $88,505.

The Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council (CCSNPC) was created to assist the Chatham County Commission
in better meeting the health care needs of uninsured and underinsured residents. Personnel are funded for the
fiscal year through a grant from Memorial Health. A small amount of the grant covers administrative support, and a
Health Department employee helps with the Safety Net. Department has an outstanding grant request for
$525,000. If received, the grant would divert some administrative costs; 20% of Ms. Hayes’ salary. Ms. Hayes is paid
through county funding and not from Health Department funding. Ms. Hayes would like to come under the county
health plan. Ms. Cramer advised Ms. Smalls to add two people to the insurance plan for this department. The cost is
$12,000 per person for the county, which the county will cover. An agreement will be created in order for the
people to be added to the health plan and they will join the county health plan in July. FY2017 budget increased

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS
Capital Project Funds account for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other
than those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds). Funding sources include general
obligation bond proceeds, Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds, revenue bond
proceeds, and other unrestricted local funds, usually as a result of an operating transfer from the
General or SSD Funds.
In general, the County defines capital assets as items with an individual cost of $25,000 or more
and an estimated useful live in excess of five years. The threshold for infrastructure assets is an
individual cost of $50,000.
Inclusion of a project / capital item for funding through a capital project funds is dependent upon
the nature of the fund involved. For example, legislative requirements vary among what is
allowed in each sales tax fund. The Sales Tax I Fund is only for road projects. The Sales Tax II Fund
expanded to include drainage projects and various capital facilities. Sales Tax III included roads,
facilities, drainage, and municipality distributions. The Sales Tax IV Fund included all of the above
as well as distributions to non-profit organizations. Projects in the bond fund are limited to the
projects listed in the offering statement. The CIP Fund represents general project needs of the
County and identifies an individual cost of $25,000 with at least a five year life-span for capital
project inclusion.

GENERAL PURPOSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2016 –
JUNE 30, 2021
The County’s annual budget includes the preparation of a capital budget for general purpose capital needs and a
five-year (5) Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Funding for the first year component is appropriated in
conjunction with the adoption of the County’s annual operating budget. Through the annual CIP process, the
County strives to develop plans and recommendations aimed at achieving a number of objectives. These objectives
are:
1. To preserve and improve the basic infrastructure of the County through public facility
construction and rehabilitation;
2. To maximize the useful life of capital investments by scheduling major renovations and
modifications at the appropriate time in the life-cycle of the facilities;
3. To identify and examine future infrastructure needs and to establish priorities among projects so that
available resources are used to the best advantage;
4. To improve financial planning by comparing needs with resources, estimating future bond issues and
identifying potential fiscal implication.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the government unit or to other
governmental units, on a cost reimbursement basis.
Listing of Internal Service Funds contained herein:
• Computer Replacement Fund – This fund’s purpose is to replace desktop and laptop computers
within the County departments every four years. Each County department is charged an annual
replacement fee based on the number of computers within the department.
• Risk Management Fund – This fund was originally established to track the reserve that is
restricted for payment of risk management claims. With the adoption of the FY 2015/2016
budget an Occupational Safety department was added to the fund.
• Health Insurance Fund – This fund is used to account for physicians, hospitalization and
pharmaceutical claims for which the County is self-insured. The Health Insurance Fund also
accounts for County-paid individual employee insurance coverage. This fund provides budgetary
protection by purchasing excess insurance that otherwise may expose the fund to significant loss.
