What is a Budget? A budget is the basis for appropriations, which create the authority to spend public money Financial plan Estimate of Resources (revenues) and Requirements (expenditures) Certifies property taxes to county assessor Single fiscal year or HB 2263 allows for biennium Fiscal year: July 1 – June 30

Local Budget Law Governance
Who: Oregon Department of Revenue What: Trains local officials on Local Budget Law Provides budgeting manuals and forms Sets out specific steps that must be followed during the budget process Where: Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) to Why: It’s the law!

Purposes of Local Budget Law
Establish standard procedures Outline programs and fiscal policies Require estimate of resources and expenditures Encourage citizen involvement Control expenditure of public funds via appropriations

Why Follow Local Budget Law?
A district that does not follow LBL may not lawfully: Expend money (with some exceptions) Certify property taxes to the county assessor (ORS ) A property tax made contrary to LBL is voidable by the Oregon Tax Court if appealed. (ORS ) Use DOR example on their page 4 for taxes voided by the court. Include who can appeal. Concludes the overview of Budget Law Basics.

Four Phases of the Budget Process
Propose the budget Approve the budget Adopt the budget Changes after adoption

Phase 1 - Propose the Budget
Budget Officer Appointed at first organizational meeting Prepares budget under direction of Executive Officer or Governing Body (ORS )

Budget Message Prepared by/under Executive Officer Explains budget document Describes financial policies Explains changes Must be in writing Can be delivered by anyone (ORS )

The Proposed Budget: Must be prepared by fund Estimate of resources & requirements must be in line item detail Estimates of resources & requirements must be in “good faith” All resources & requirements must be budgeted Resources & requirements must balance (ORS )

Standardized Budget Format – The budget officer prepares the proposed budget using budget detail sheets. Historical Data Descriptions of Resource and Requirement Budget for Next Year Actual Adopted Budget This Year Proposed By Budget Officer Approved By Budget Committee Adopted By Board Second Preceding Year First Preceding Year

Fund Classifications General Fund (100) Special Revenue Fund (200) Debt Service Fund (300) Capital Projects Fund (400) Enterprise Fund (500) Internal Service Fund (600) Trust and Agency Fund (700)

Budget Resources – Money In Beginning Fund Balance Current Year Taxes Prior Year Taxes Interest Earned Grant Revenue Bond Proceeds Transfers In

Budget Requirements – Money Out School Districts and Education Service Districts Appropriate by Function Other Uses (5000) Debt Service (5100) must be an appropriation line item Transfers (5200) must be an appropriation line item Unappropriated Ending Fund Balance (UEFB) UEFB Function 7000 is not appropriated

Budget Building Requirements Resources must equal requirements Historic figures must be Actuals (slide 23) Current year budget must be the final adopted budget as amended to date (slide 23) Next year proposed, approved and adopted columns must be displayed (slide 23)

Budget Building Requirements All Funds must appear by fund and function All Resources must include prior year’s taxes Transfers In (5200) = Transfers Out ( ) FTE must be in budget

Phase 2 - Approve the Budget
Budget Committee The Governing Body + an Equal Number of Appointed Electors Electors are registered voters in the district Cannot be officer, agents or employees Appointed for staggered 3-yr. terms All members have the same authority If you can’t fill all appointed, committee can be fewer

Notice of Budget Committee Meeting Publish notice of first meeting at which: The budget and budget message are presented, and the public comments and questions are heard. Form A If the public comments are not heard at the first meeting, give notice of both meetings. Form B In Washington County, also submit summary of proposed budget for publication on the county website. (ORS )

Publication Methods Printing twice in a newspaper of general circulation 5 – 30 days before meeting Posting notice on your website At least 10 days before meeting And printing once in newspaper 5-30 days before meeting Mailing by U.S. Postal Service first class To each street address, PO Box and RRN in district at least10 days before meeting Hand delivery To each street address in district at least 10 days before meeting

Budget Committee Meeting Process All budget committee meetings subject to public meeting laws Presiding officer must be elected at first meeting Quorum is required to conduct business Majority of committee is required to take action Committee may request and receive additional information from district officials

Budget Committee Duties Receive the budget document Hear the budget message Hear and consider public comment Discuss and revise the budget as needed Approve the budget Approve the property taxes

Budget Committee Receives Budget Document Budget is a public document when released to committee Available to the public at the same time as the committee Public has right to inspect Must provide means for public to copy Can charge for copies

Budget Committee Hears Public Comment On the date and time in the published notice If additional meetings, give same notice as regular meeting of governing body Any member of “public” may speak May establish time limits and other policies for public comment period

Budget Committee Final Action Approve the budget When the budget committee has approved the budget and the taxes, it is now finished. Sample motion to approve budget: “I move that the budget committee of Cherry City approve the budget for the fiscal year in the amount of 12,345,678.” (motion and vote recorded in the minutes.)

Following Budget Approval Publish Budget Hearing Notice and Summary of Budget Alternative Publication Format Optional narrative format Same information as Form ED-1 Same timelines as Form ED-50 Can use narrative, charts, pictures, etc.

Publication Errors Budget published is not “as approved” by the Budget Committee Hearing notice not published timely Hearing not held on date published Budget summary doesn’t include all funds Budget doesn’t balance

Correcting Publication Errors Publication is considered sufficient if the budget officer makes a “good faith” effort If you know your notice will be late, re-schedule the hearing and publish timely If you know your hearing won’t be on the date published, publish another notice

Correcting Publication Errors If these errors occur: Typographical error Math error Error in calculating the tax Then at first meeting after error is discovered, budget officer must: Advise the governing body in writing and Give testimony correcting the error

Phase 3 - Adopt the Budget
Governing Body Holds Budget Hearing On date and time published Or reschedule & publish a revised notice Budget “as approved” by the budget committee Any person may comment on the budget

Changes After Budget Hearing Governing Body may increase expenditures or tax, but: If expenditures in any fund increases by more than 10% or $5,000 (whichever is greater), or If the rate or amount of tax increases at all: Budget must be republished and another hearing must be held with regular publication requirements.

Governing Body Duties Enact resolutions to: Adopt the budget Make appropriations Impose each tax levy Categorize each tax by its Measure 5 category Fills out necessary Department of Revenue Forms Submits Paper and Electronic Budgets to Department of Education

Governing Body Duties Making Appropriations

Final Budget Review - Budget Checklist Governing body appoints a budget officer at first board meeting in July Governing body appoints budget committee Budget officer prepares the proposed budget Budget officer publishes the Notice of Budget Committee Meeting as required Budget officer provides a copy of the proposed budget to each member of the budget committee and the public Budget officer files a copy of the budget in the district office for public viewing Executive officer of district prepares or directs preparation of the budget message

Phase 4 – Changes after Adoption
Budget Plan based on estimates Provides the foundation for appropriations Appropriations Limitations on expenditures Authority to spend public money Budgets and appropriations may be changed during the year Some changes can be made by resolution Some changes require a supplemental budget

Make changes to Appropriations or Budget before over-spending The change must be in place before an over-expenditure is made. Adopting a resolution or supplemental budget after an over-expenditure does not correct the violation of Local Budget Law. (ORS (6)

Actions Possible after Adoption Transfer of appropriation authority – ORS Supplemental budget – ORS & Expenditures outside of budget law – ORS Other fiscal tools – Interfund loans – ORS Eliminate unnecessary fund – ORS Emergency authorizations – ORS

Appropriation Transfers - Resolution To move appropriations between existing categories within a fund or between two funds To transfer appropriations and resources from one fund to any other fund Resolution must state: Need for transfer Purpose of expenditure Amount

Transfer Contingency Transfer to another existing appropriation Transfer by resolution is limited to 15% of total fund appropriations 15% limit is cumulative for the fiscal period If more than 15% transferred in a year, a supplemental budget is required for the excess

Supplemental Budget Modifies the currently adopted budget Effective through the end of fiscal year only Used to: increase or decrease appropriations create a new appropriation category, or create a new fund

Supplemental Budget Justification: Occurrence of condition not known during the regular budget process Unforeseen pressing necessity requires prompt action Unanticipated money from federal, state or local government Request for services, to be paid by others Destruction, involuntary conversion or sale requires immediate replacement More property taxes received than estimated Local option approved in September election Add debt service when GO bonds are approved in May election

Supplemental Budget Process Two processes Change in expenditures in a fund is 10% or less Change in expenditures in a fund is > 10% When determining expenditures, do not include: Transfers Contingency Reserves for future expenditure or Unappropriated Ending Fund Balance

If Change is 10% or Less Adopt at a regular meeting (no hearing required) Publish notice of the regular meeting At least 5 days prior to meeting In newspaper, by 1st class mail or by hand-delivery Include a statement that a supplemental budget will be considered at the meeting Adopt by resolution Appropriate by a resolution that states the need for, the purpose and the amount of the appropriation

If Change is More Than 10% Public hearing is required Publish notice of the regular meeting At least 5 days prior to meeting In newspaper, by 1st class mail or by hand-delivery Summarize changes in each fund changing >10% After hearing, adopt by resolution Resolution must state the need for, the purpose and the amount of the appropriation
