16 Service Delivery Plan Planning tool for use in preparing for increased service demand as a result of: Increases in overall Bexar County population Increased population in unincorporated area A more urban-like and developed unincorporated area 16

17 Used annual growth rate in the 2000s to project the growth through 2017 using 2010 population as the baseline Decade Annual Percentage Population Increase 1960-19692.09 % 1970-19791.91 % 1980-19891.99 % 1990-19991.75 % 2000-20092.10 % 2010-20192.10 % Service Delivery Plan 17

18 Bexar Countys population projected to increase by 13.3 percent through 2017 Increase of 268,000 citizens Estimated Bexar County population in 2017 of 1.9 million citizens Service Delivery Plan 18

19 If cost-effective service delivery methods arent identified, the cost of serving our growing County population could be $19.2 million over the next five years. This does not include City Like Services Service Delivery Plan 19

20 If City Like Services were in the unincorporated area of Bexar County: Tax rate increase of $1.2251 per $100 valuation Would bring total tax rate up to $1.552 per $100 valuation Constitutional Limit of $0.80 per $100 valuation There is an RFP out to develop options for citizens in the unincorporated area to acquire more City Like Services, as needed. Service Delivery Plan 20

21 County will need to change our way of delivering services: E-gov, technology, automation More efficient business processes More cost-effective staffing models Proactive service delivery planning program Focus on Core Service Delivery Service Delivery Plan 21

22 Employee Compensation Going forward, the County will need to identify ways to fund Cost of Living Adjustments to keep up with future inflation growth and maintain market competitiveness with other employers FYI: 1% salary increase for all County employees = $2,133,453 22

23 Employee Compensation 74% of County Operating Revenue is provided by property taxes Employee salaries and benefits account for 70% of County Operating Expenses 23
