It outlines a strategic framework and three guiding principles of sustainability, resiliency, and transformation to develop a balanced budget during difficult economic times.

The Columbia Gorge Community College Budget Committee met on April 28, 2015 to review the proposed budget for 2015-16. The meeting included orientation on the budget document, an overview of the economic and revenue environment, and a presentation of the budget. State support through the Community College Support Fund makes up the largest portion of revenue but has declined as a percentage of the state budget in recent biennia. Tuition and fees make up the second largest revenue source and are dependent on enrollment levels.
This document summarizes Evanston's current long-term financial policies including fund reserve policies, budget policies, and debt policies. It recommends increasing general fund reserves to match GFOA minimum standards of 16.6% of operating expenditures. For enterprise funds, it recommends increasing reserves to 16.6% as well and establishing project implementation reserves. It also recommends updating various fund policies and adopting a strategy of funding capital improvements through a mix of debt financing and pay-as-you-go funding from operating budgets over time. Projections show how this could reduce debt service costs while providing stable capital funding. The next steps outlined are to update facilities inventories and infrastructure schedules to further develop the capital planning process.

Emerald Ash Borer Ash Tree Removal and ReplacementFairfax County
This document addresses common questions about removing ash trees and hiring tree care companies. It recommends cutting down ash trees that have died or become brittle as they pose a hazard by dropping limbs. Removed ash wood can generally be disposed of locally but should not be transported to other states with quarantines. Most tree removals on private property do not require county permission, except in protected areas. When hiring an arborist, check that they are certified and insured, get multiple quotes in writing, and inspect contracts carefully. Native tree species should replace removed ash trees to promote diversity.

Alameda County 2011-12 Proposed Budget OverviewKeith Carson
The document provides an overview of Alameda County's proposed budget for FY 2011-12. It discusses economic factors like unemployment rates, home values, and tax revenues that impact the budget. The proposed $2.056 billion budget is $45 million less than FY 2010-11 and reduces positions by 55. It allocates over half of funding from state/federal aid and about 15% each from property taxes and charges for services. Major expenditures include health care, public assistance, and public protection.
Fairfax County Executive Anthony Griffin presented his proposed budget to the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 22, 2011. More details at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget
The document provides a mid-year update to Franklin, MA's five year financial outlook. Key points include:
- State aid outlook has deteriorated, with an expected $1.7M reduction in FY2011 and ongoing risks.
- The forecasted deficit is minimally changed from $4.7M to $8.3M over five years.
- Franklin remains heavily dependent on state aid and has below average property taxes and school/municipal spending compared to peers.
- The structural deficit is expected to continue due to annual revenue growth being insufficient to maintain existing services.
The Music Academy of North Carolina (MANC) is a nonprofit music education organization located in Greensboro, NC. An analysis of MANC's financial statements from 2008-2011 found that the organization relies heavily on temporarily restricted assets and debt financing. Ratios showed MANC operates with lower efficiency and profitability than industry standards. The analysis concluded MANC should work to increase unrestricted assets and profitability while decreasing debt levels to improve long-term sustainability.

This document provides an overview and update of the financial situation for the FUS Capital and Operating Funds. It discusses revenue sources such as capital pledges, annual pledges, and other fundraising. It outlines capital expenses and debt obligations. The operating budget funds ongoing capital repayment through annual pledges. Maintaining status quo is challenging due to increasing debt payments and expenses.

Masco's 2011 financial performance was disappointing due to a challenging environment including a flat housing market, difficult economic conditions in Europe, and commodity cost pressures. Key metrics such as adjusted EPS, margins, and free cash flow declined compared to 2010.

In the first quarter of 2007, CSX reported earnings per share of $0.52 compared to $0.53 in the first quarter of 2006. Excluding insurance recoveries, comparable earnings per share was $0.50.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.

30. STEP 4: Reasonable
Revenue Enhancements
This budget is balanced based on numerous factors, including revenue enhancements
totaling $121.4 million:
A proposed 5‐cent real estate tax rate increase will generate $93.4 million
Recommend that the Board advertise an 8‐cent tax rate increase for flexibility, a rate of
$1.12
This budget recommendation also includes the implementation of a $33 vehicle
registration license fee which will generate $27 million in FY 2011
Fee increases in the School‐Age Child Care (SACC) program to generate $1.0 million
Revenue enhancements NOT included in this budget but for future consideration:
Other longer term considerations include a Meals Tax
Requires approval by voter referendum
Could generate $80 million at maximum rate of 4%
Current state law permits the imposition of a local admission fee for theatre and other
entertainment events. Under proposed rate of 10%, this tax could generate as much as
$3 million
