I am pleased to present to the Board of Supervisors, and the residents of Livingston County, the
tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2018.
Prior to in-depth commentary on the details and specifics of the tentative budget, I feel it
important to emphasize the goals of the 2018 budget process, as laid out in August with Department
Head meetings, and reinforced at the October 11th Board of Supervisors Budget workshop. These goals
are organization-wide and are unchanged from last years Budget process.
o Present a practical, responsible budget that delivers core County services in a cost-
effective manner
o Comply with the New York State imposed property tax cap (if we can)
o Use conservative estimates (i.e. sales tax revenue forecast)
o Fund priority projects and programs
o Fund the 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan
o Maintain services and programs
o Protect fiscal & operational stability
o Mitigate fiscal stress
o Continue our Anti-Complacency efforts
o Adopt a Balanced Budget (expenses are matched with revenues and fund balance)
I am pleased to report that the budget goals outlined above have again been met in their entirety.
The tentative budget calls for a tax rate of $8.21, up twenty-three cents or about 3% from the
2017 rate. Our tax levy, the total amount of taxes collected from properties in the County, will rise
approximately 3.32%, a percentage increase that is within the Countys calculated tax cap figure of
nearly 3.7%. We are poised to raise approximately $900,000 more in property tax dollars in 2018 than
we did in the prior year. Barring assessment changes, an average homeowner with a single family
home assessed at $130,000 will see their County tax bill initially increase roughly $30.00 or
$2.50/month under this plan:
Copies of these plans and policies are on file at the Clerk of the Boards office and available for
request or public inspection.
The budget is submitted as a balanced budget. The Board of Supervisors has defined a balanced
budget as one that has realistic revenue and expense projections and with estimated expenses 100%
matched with estimated revenues, inclusive of fund balance allocations if/when applicable. This year,
we are using slightly less ($100,000) in fund balance than was used in the 2017 budget process. In the
2018 budget, the balanced budget mechanics look like this:
The Countys budget process starts in earnest in August of each year. In early August, I as
County Administrator and Budget Officer, send a call-out memo to Department Heads seeking their
requests, inputs and recommendations on spending and revenues for the upcoming year. We then
spend the entire month of August in meetings to review and refine these numbers before presentation in
draft, not yet tentative, form to the Countys financial oversight committee, the Ways and Means
Committee. Insight, feedback and commentary is gained from the Committee, leading to a further
refined draft budget document that is presented and discussed by the Board at a budget workshop in
October. Finally, that budget file is molded into what is the technical format of the officially submitted
tentative budget, which is what you are reading now. A calendar with the various steps, and substeps
not mentioned in detail above, is included here for your perusal:
As the budget is a best-guess scenario, based on available financial information and forecasting
methodologies, there is never a year where all numbers project out as initially expected. Therefore, the
Board of Supervisors does make regular in-year adjustments to the adopted budget to maintain
accounting controls and keep the finances balanced. This is done through two distinct measures: 1)
budget amendment resolutions (submitted by Department Heads, approved by the County
Administrator, and submitted to the Committee and Board for final approval) and 2) budget transfers
(same process as amendments, and pursuant to the aforementioned Budget Transfer Policy). New in
2017 was the implementation of an online system for Department Heads to make these budget
adjustment entries versus the old, triplicate carbon copy, archaic methodology we employed for
decades. This technological change has greatly streamlined and quickened this process.
As approved in December 2011 by the Board of Supervisors, the Livingston County Fund
Balance Policy guides fund balance utilization and administration. The policies and procedures section
of the policy is most relevant to the formation of the annual budget and is included here:
POLICY:
1. When resources have been spent, the County deems that they have been first spent from the
highest constraint level available; therefore, they are considered to have been spent in the following
order: restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
2. The County will maintain an adequate fund balance in its general fund to provide flexibility and
to mitigate current and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures), to ensure
stable tax rates, to provide for one-time opportunities and to retain favorable credit ratings. The
County will endeavor to maintain unassigned fund balances in its general fund of twenty percent (20%)
of regular general fund operating expenditures, net of local sales tax distribution. This amount
provides the liquidity necessary to accommodate the Countys uneven cash flow, which is inherent in its
periodic tax collection schedule, and to respond to contingent liabilities.
3. The actual level of fund balance in the Countys general fund is determined in its annual
financial statement, several months after the end of the fiscal year. The Countys budgeting process,
which culminates both in the establishment of the following years tax rate and the use of any
appropriated fund balance, begins approximately two years in advance of the financial statement that
will show the budgets results. Because of this time lag and because of the uncertainties of the
budgeting process (such as the amounts of appropriated fund balance actually used each year), it is not
possible to guarantee in advance a specific level of fund balance at the close of any fiscal year.
Therefore, the County will use the following procedure to adjust the levels of fund balance, as
necessary.
PROCEDURE:
1. Once the external auditor has reviewed the Countys financial statements for the prior year and
has confirmed the fund balances of the general fund, the County Administrator will recommend to the
Ways and Means committee of the Board of Supervisors the amounts and types of assignments for the
fund balance to be included in the financial statement.
2. The Ways and Means committee will review these assignments, discuss them with the external
auditor as necessary and accept or modify the assignments prior to the presentation of the statement to
the Board.
3. The County Administrator, as Budget Officer, shall make recommendations regarding the use of
fund balance to be appropriated in the following years budget based on this policy; specifically, he
shall recommend an amount that will, in his estimation, retain the requisite/appropriate level of fund
balances established in this policy.
The fund balance position, with estimated impacts from 2017 budget-to-actual performance as
forecasted by the County Treasurer, is included here:

The accompanying documents (starting in Section 2) present a summary of the revenues and
expenditures and are organized as follows:
Within the schedules noted above, both revenues and expenses are broken down by major type
(revenue, i.e. property taxes; expenses, i.e. Legislative Board) and display the 2016 Actual
performance, the 2017 budget figures, the 2017 actual year-to-date numbers, and finally the Budget
Officers recommended estimates for 2018.
Revenues
Total non property tax, non fund balance revenues in the 2018 budget estimate number
$129,845,650. These include items such as fees, PILOTS, other taxes, interdepartmental revenues,
intergovernmental revenues, sales tax, state and federal aid and miscellaneous sources. Forecasts for
revenues are obtained through a variety of means and mechanisms including but not limited to:
information gleaned from state association sources, State Comptroller data, state aid award letters,
federal aid award letters, estimates from other governments, and trend analysis projections. More
detailed revenue information on the revenue centers representing the largest percentage shares of the
budgeted revenues is included here:
Sales Tax
The Countys largest single revenue center in the General Fund continues to be sales tax.
Unlike last year, the County is projecting Budget growth in this revenue center for 2018.
We are seeing a return of year-over-year increases as was usual and customary pre-recession
and post-recession through 2015-2016 when we had a dip, mainly due to the price of gasoline. As of
10/31/17, we are tracking to be up about 5% versus 2016 returns and the trend line is pointing in a
positive direction as we head into 2018. The 2018 budget therefore shows projected growth of
$350,000.
As always, the 4th quarter spending and retail sales activity for the holiday season and the end of
the 2017 calendar year does still have the potential to be game-changing either in a positive or negative
way. Additionally, with our heavy reliance on the price of gasoline (some ~18% of our total sales tax
collections), we must be mindful of gas price fluctuations and the impact on our 2018 budgeted returns.
State Aid
As a County in New York State, we are regularly mandated to provide certain programs and
services. In total, the costs of running these programs and accounting for these mandates far exceeds
the aid that comes in from the State government to financially support these locally-delivered County
efforts. That being said, State Aid still represents a sizeable portion of our General Fund revenues, with
approximately $16 million expected in 2018. This is down from over $17 million in 2017 due to timing
on Public Safety revenues (State grants for Interoperability improvements). Many years it can appear
that the County is experiencing major dips or growth in State Aid when in reality such changes are
often due to one or two major state grant awards, such as Public Safety and Farmland Protection grants.
Major income areas for state aid revenue include Social Services, Public Health, and Public
Safety/Homeland Security. Impact areas that are negative or concerning include Probation (woefully
underfunded by the State) and Public Defense. As an example in Probation, we receive approximately
$12,000 in reimbursement from the state for efforts related to the semi-recent Ignition Interlock Device
installation and monitoring mandate that was placed on Probation departments. When we recently
charted our expense outlay per case, the annual expense was approximately $56,000 or nearly 5x the
amount of our supposedly fair and equitable state reimbursement.
The Seneca Nations contentious relationship with the State government and the Governor has
led to the Nations withholding of casino revenues to counties, like Livingston, in the so-called
exclusivity zone. This ~$360,000 annual revenue was removed from the budget for 2018 due to the
uncertainty around collection. The parties are presently in arbitration and there is no agreed upon
approximate end date for resolution.
Federal Aid
Many programs, as is the case with the aforementioned state mandates, carry with them a
reimbursement formula from the Federal government. This area of revenue is projected to return over
$16.3 MM to the Countys General Fund in 2018, up over $300,000. Major departmental drivers of
this revenue include Social Services (e.g., Child Care), Public Health (e.g., WIC program) and the
County Jail with Federal Inmate board-ins. These jail revenues are, in-turn, redirected towards debt
reserves to more quickly pay down the 2009 jail construction bonds. As of the writing of this message,
the debt pay-down reserve established to hold onto such proceeds stands at some $3.5 million and
grows each year by a substantial amount.
The Highway and Machinery Fund (Funds D and DM) projects $7.8 MM in non property tax
revenues for fiscal year 2018. This is buoyed by State Aid and the New York State CHIPS program
($2.2 MM) and Federal Highway Capital Grants ($3.5MM). We continue to exercise the benefit of the
recently established bridge capital account ($1MM plus) to do additional work with local dollars and
offset local matches on larger, state and federal aid eligible construction projects. The Highway budget
also calls for the budgeting and filling of long-vacant staff positions to fill out our ranks in the
department.
Aside from miscellaneous revenues of some $750,000, the Center for Nursing Rehabilitation
(Enterprise Fund E) is funded through daily room rate revenues of residents at the Center ($25.6 MM)
which are comprised of Medicare, Medicaid, Private Pay Insurance, and Veterans Insurance; and the
Federal Government Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) Program of $8.2 MM. The match for the 2018
IGT (required to originate from the Countys General A Fund) will be drawn from the Countys fund
balance when required. A major concern looms in the out-years and that is the reliance on the Countys
General Fund for the payments to support the IGT. This situation is one of those good problems to
have in that we are financially healthy enough on the General Fund side to continue these matches and
we in turn are buoying the finances of the CNR. As of 10/31, the CNR had a cash balance of over $25
MM. Consequently, we are headed into a situation where the Enterprise Fund balance is rivaling the
General Fund balance and a correction is in order to right that shift in balance to proper, yet still strong,
levels of unappropriated cash for each fund.
The Risk Retention, Workforce Development and Water & Sewer Funds are sans substantive
change in 2018. The Workers Compensation Fund is also without major change, save for the continued
rolling in of cost-share ratio changes, moving more expense to the County and away from the Towns
via a formula amendment approved within the last year.

The County maintains a very prudent and manageable schedule of debt. Most projects are
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis through reserve and project allocations accompanying the 5 Year
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The County recently approved an approximately $5.8 MM energy
performance contract (EPC) with Danforth Company to provide for budget-neutral energy
improvement efforts via lease financing. Once financing is approved, we will make budget transfers to
appropriate money into various accounts for necessary payments. The CNR (Enterprise Fund) will
handle $2 MM of this with available cash, the County General Fund will handle $1 MM in debt-reserve
cash and the remaining balance, under $3 MM, will be financed via lease financing expected to be
initially approved at the November 13th Ways and Means meeting with subsequent, full Board approval
expected on November 15th. The County also plans to accept, also in Q4 2017, a USDA grant/loan
combination financing package for an expansion of the Emergency Operations Center to handle the
growth of the County Emergency Medical Services department. This amount will be in the $1.5-1.75
MM range.
As aforementioned, and in concert with the wishes of the Board, the majority of the Countys
jail revenues, which have increased substantially with the influx of Federal, ICE and outside County
inmate board-ins, are being transferred to the jail debt reserve so as to allow for more aggressive
principal paydown on the existing jail construction debt. Only monies used for expenses attributable to
our larger jail population (increased deputies, transport costs, mental health additions, etc) are offset
with these revenues, with the remaining balance transferred into the debt reserve. We anticipate shaving
off 3-5 years of debt payments with this mechanism. The current jail reserve balance is over $3.5 MM
and the outstanding debt on the jail at year-end 2018 will be approximately $ 9 MM so we continue to
inch closer and closer to our goal of early pay-off. Once completed, this truly will represent the so-
called debt payoff snowball as we will have extinguished $2MM in annual debt payments and likely
will still maintain $1 MM plus in annual board-in revenues leading to a positive balance of $3 MM+
when the debt is satisfied.
Position Summary Schedules
The County budget funds hundreds of positions spread across scores of programs and services.
A summary of position count and status is included in the appendices section of this submitted budget.
The budget calls for a few changes to the present personnel landscape. Additional full or part-time
positions are budgeted in ITS, Emergency Medical Services, the 911 Center, and Veterans Services.
This budget has also continues accounting and budgeting for our federal funding advocate/lobbyist The
Ferguson Group.
There are no major programs or service additions or deletions in the budget. Over the last few
years, we have changed some departmental operations and consequently have had budgetary impacts as
a result. We in-sourced, versus contracting out, the services of a Conflict Defender - a position and
office that is nearing its one-year anniversary. The Emergency Medical Services department (County
Ambulance) continues to grow and expand as the medical emergency and corresponding patient-care
needs of the community change and evolve. The Highway Department has done yeomans work in
taking over the automotive maintenance needs of the entire county fleet over the last few years. For
2018, we do not have any of these types of changes proposed in the budget. Instead we have select
position and operational changes here and there but nothing in the category of significant or
substantive.
That being said, we as a County government are not one to rest on our laurels. The Ways &
Means Committee recently approved the purchase of approximately 110 acres in the Town of
Groveland, adjacent to the Countys existing Hampton Corners Complex, for possible expansion. The
Al Lorenz Park Master Plan calls for nearly $500K improvements to our only official county park.
Lastly, the aforementioned EOC expansion project will commence in fiscal year 2018.
Our CIP is expected to be separately approved in November at a Ways and Means committee
meeting and again shows various needs in the departments. This five-year outlook projects capital
improvements for expenses like building renovations, software and hardware upgrades, emergency
communications and interoperability upgrades and adaptive re-use of existing space. Inclusive of all
funds and accounting for 100% grant funded projects (e.g., 911), our capital need in 2018 alone is over
$4.3 MM. Of particular interest in 2018 will be the (long awaited) rollout of the enterprise resource
planning (ERP) system implementation. This organization and systems-wide changeover of financials,
payroll, accounts payable and a host of other software suite programs will be the largest information
technology infrastructure change to face the county since the advent of email and the internet.
Legislative mandates from New York State represent the largest single largest expense and
programmatic burden to the County budget. A few years ago, NYSAC spearheaded the program 9 for
90 which highlighted the fact that 9 mandates were directly attributable to 90% of the tax levies
collected by counties statewide. In Livingston County, this situation remains the same. Medicaid is
our largest single expense and perhaps the most recognizable as a fiscal burden. Despite monumental
legislative wins from 2000-2015, including a 3% cap and finally a fixed expense level, our annual bill
is still $9 MM, and represents, by itself, nearly 32% of our expected property tax collections in 2018.
The Collins/Faso led legislative attempts this past year were met with stiff criticism from many in the
political arena but if they did nothing else they exposed to hopefully millions nationally the largesse
and expanse of the New York State Medicaid program, which spends roughly $1 Billion dollars per
week and mandates onto counties the largest county-share Medicaid obligation in the nation. Pension
costs are still high, in the $7.5 MM range organization-wide. That being said, we have had much-
needed stabilization in this expense area over the last two years which is much-appreciated.
Other major mandates that contribute to the levy size include Community Colleges, Probation,
Pre-K Special Education, Public Defense and a multitude of Social Services programs. Community
colleges are a growing concern. NYS formula changes for funding and county/state/student share
ratios are continuingly kicked down the proverbial road and counties are left to make up costly local
share impacts. Additionally, we still await the impact of a bevy of public defense related changes
include mandated counsel at arraignment and new changes expected in the area of income qualification
for public defense service.
In addition to the dozens of contractual relationships we have with non-profit providers for
service arrangements (e.g., Catholic Charities), the 2018 budget continues and expands upon the long
tradition of Board of Supervisors financial support of local non-profits and community agencies. In
2018, the Pioneer Library System will receive over $90,000 in support for our in-County libraries. The
support for the Hemlock Fair is double that of the 2016 appropriation. The Soil and Water
Conservation District is budgeted at an increase of $10,000. The Historical Society is budgeted at
$42,700; Cornell Cooperative Extension at $481,254; Livingston Arts at $40,000 and numerous others
at varying appropriation figures.
Health Insurance
Health insurance expenses, including retiree health insurance, are major cost centers. The
organization-wide health insurance budget, inclusive of the retiree health expense, is holding steady at
just under $14MM. There is a budget jump reflected via forecasted increases, in the 10% range, for the
Countys plans. Should the forecast be under in October 2018 (the start of our program year) we will
have savings. We continue to recognize and appreciate the positive financial benefits of the countys
move to a self-insured funding model. We again bested regional averages in terms of our expected
percentage increase versus the traditionally insured marketplace. Additionally, we maintain in our
reserves (versus these accumulating to the benefit of an insurance company) any excess balance
leftover. That reserve has a healthy balance of $1.2 MM as of 10/31/17 and will likely grow by some
$750K more once the 09/30/16-10/31/17 program year is closed out in December of 2017. Transfers
are then made the following year to reappropriate some of these surplus dollars back into the General
Fund, capital projects or General contingency, while still maintaining an adequate reserve and
insurance fund balance. New health insurance-related activity for 2018 includes a request for proposal
process for an employee health clinic and the introduction of a health risk assessment and an optional
high-deductible health insurance plan.
Economic Outlook
Numerous economic trends and indicators are worth noting due to their interface to the budget
process and expected outcomes. Unemployment rates are at historically low averages, as the graph
below illustrates:
Countywide assessments saw very minor growth in assessed values. This amounted to nearly
$13 million in new taxable values. Caseloads in the Department of Social Services are often used as a
barometer of the local economy. Tracking from January 1, 2017, key service component areas changes
are as follows:
Livingston County has a low fiscal stress score as measured by the NYS Comptrollers Office.
Fiscal stress scores as a measure of financial condition may be defined as a local governments ability
to finance services on a continuing basis. This ability involves maintaining adequate service levels
while surviving economic disruptions, being able to identify and adjust to long-term changes, and
anticipating future problems. The weighted score for Livingston County is again much better than the
averages of all counties, regional counties, and counties of similar size. We maintain a fiscal stress
score in the top tier of all counties in New York State.

2018 will be a pivotal year for the County from a financial perspective. As aforementioned, the
CNR is in an enviable financial position as it ends 2017 with a sizable fund balance level. The ability
of the General Fund to continue making these IGT matches, at the expense of the General Funds own
balance sheet, is certainly under threat in the coming year and years ahead. Equally disconcerting is the
unknown impact, fiscally and operationally, of the state mandated Raise the Age initiative. Among
other county departments and operations, the Jail, Probation, County Attorney and DSS are all
impacted. Couple this with the legislation itself, which calls for 100% reimbursement from the State
for all RTA costs but only for counties that are tax cap compliant, and you have both a brand new
sizeable mandate and a strengthened tax cap law that was already onerous. On the revenue side, we
will be closely watching the retail trends in the local economy and the budget performance of the sales
tax forecast, in addition to monitoring the Casino arbitration.
Exciting times also await us this fiscal year. The Countys fledgling Land Bank is up and
operational and poised to conduct its first transaction before years end. We saw a record-breaking
amount of in-county Consolidated Funding Applications (CFA) submitted to the Regional Economic
Development council, with award announcements expected next month. Priority projects for the
county include private sector led investments in the agribusiness sector and seed capital for the
proposed Public Market. Concurrently, we continue work on the proposed anti-poverty plan entitled
Thrive In Livingston, which aims to secure Upstate Revitalization Initiative funds for targeted personal
and economic empowerment projects across spectrums such as housing, benchmarking, and workforce
development.
This tentative budget again funds the staff, services, programs and projects necessary to drive
creativity, strategic initiatives and high-performance efforts in Livingston County. With a budgeted
payroll of nearly $50MM, Livingston County employs over 1,200 workers dedicated to delivering
high-quality, responsive and best-in-class service to our 65,000 residents. The four collective
bargaining agreements (CBAs) that cover the full-time employee base of the county all have either
tentative or Board approved agreements and the balance of reasonable wage increases and cost control
efforts was again struck. I thank the union workforce for their efforts at achieving what have been
harmonious union-management relations during these respective negotiations.
This submitted tentative budget continues the tradition of a status quo financial plan for the
forthcoming year. Livingston County government remains committed to serving our residents, visitors
and taxpayers with only the highest quality of public service and this budget adequately funds these
services. In concluding this budget message, I would like to personally thank the County government
staff for their public service. This budget is fiscally sound, balanced and forward looking. I readily
await its public inspection, review and eventual adoption.
Sincerely,
Ian M. Coyle
County Administrator
