Controller
2014 Utility Budgets
Mike Jones, Controller, presented to the Board and recommended approval of the Water Works and
Water Pollution Control Utility Budgets. Mr. Jones explained the zero based budget model versus a
baseline model methodology to the Board. All employees will receive a 2% salary increase with PERF;
the state retirement fund increased the mandatory contribution per employee from 9.5% to 11%.
The overall budget for Water Works for 2013 increased $245,950, which is an overall 3% increase over
the 2013 budget. 20% of that increase comes from the pension costs. The reallocation of Water Works
share of computer software/hardware maintenance expenses accounts for 43% of that increase. The Water
Depreciating Fund budget is in the amount of $1,400,000.00. Mr. Jones presented the Water Works
Utility budget for 2014 is in the amount of $845,250.00. Mrs. Murray moved for approval. Mr. Childress
seconded. Passed.
The overall budget for Water Pollution control (WPCD) has raised $4,454,460.00 which is a change of
17.3%. Mr. Jones stated that such a large increase does tend to turn heads but of that increase 77% comes
from 2 items. The 2 items include the increased Depreciation Fund transfers and the allocation of the
computer software/hardware maintenance expenses. The Sewer Operations has an overall increase of
$49,000.00; the largest item is the Part Time Payroll item. Mr. Jones stated that the Storm Water’s budget
has begun to level out from the 1st pro forma plan that was adopted and the stability is reflected by the
less than 1% increase. The WPCD Depreciation Fund budget will again include an emergency line item
of $1,000,000.00. Mr. Jones presented the WPCD Utility budget for 2014 is in the amount of
$30,228,855.00. Mr. Childress moved for approval. Mrs. Ross seconded. Passed. Mr. Jones and Brad
