  33. Proposed Tax Levy- • Allowable tax levy increase 2.61% • Proposed tax levy increase 2.00% • Proposed Budget increase $53 • Percentage Budget increase .0004%

  34. The 3 Numbers that affect your tax rate: • The tax levy from the School District • From the budget approved by the voters. • The higher the levy , the higher the tax rate • Fixed in May • The Equalization Rate set by the State • Brings the assessed value up to full value if no re-evaluation has been done by the Township • The lower the equalization rate the higher the full value and the higher your tax rate • Fixed in August • The Assessed Value of the District set by the Tax Assessor for the Town. • From home improvements, new construction, etc. • The more improvements, the higher the assessed value and the lower the tax rate. • Fixed in August

  35. Proposed Budget / Property TaxesWhen equalization rates drop, the full market value increases and thus property taxes regardless of the district budget.

  36. Proposed Budget/Property Taxes-Star Exemptions cannot increase by more than 2% from the previous year

  40. Home w/ Assessed Value of $100,000 Enhanced STAR Exemption

  41. Contingency Budget-New Rules • With a contingency budget , the school’s tax levy cannot be anymore than the previous year’s tax levy • It still has to maintain an Administrative Cap- • The percentage it comprised in the previous year’s budget exclusive of the capital portion of the budget

  42. Contingency BudgetIncrease allowed in budget over previous year, no longer applicable-

  43. Administrative Cap is still applicable

  44. Current Fund Balance • Reserve for Employee Benefit Accrued Liability $330,225.22 • Reserve for Debt $202,267.43 • Appropriated Fund Balance to offset Property Taxes $550,000.00 • Assigned Fund Balance –Previous Yr’s Encumbrances $ 4,482.00 • Unassigned Fund Balance (4% of Budget) $594,290.26 • Total Fund Balance 1,681,264.91 • Estimated Fund Balance at end of June 2012 • Beginning Fund Balance $1,681,264.91 • Less: Amt approp.to offset property taxes $ (550,000.00) • Less: Use of Reserve for Debt $ ( 36,893.00) • Fund balance at end of June 2012 $1,094,371.91

  45. Future Fund Balance- • Beginning Fund Balance July 1, 2012 • Reserve for Liabilities $328,529.00 • Reserve for Debt $168,374.43 • Reserve for Encumbrances (est.) $4,000.00 • Unassigned Fund Balance $593,468.48 • Total Fund Balance Beg.July2012$1,094,371.91 • Estimated Unassigned Fund Balance End of June, 2013 • Less: Amt. Approp. to offset Property Taxes ($460,000.00) • Ending Fund Balance June 2013 $634,371.91 • Make up of Ending Fund Balance June 2013 • Less: Reserve for Liabilities $328,529.00 • Less: Reserve for Debt $168,374.43 • Unassigned FB June 30, 2013…………………. $137,468.48 • Equal .9% ( Should be 4%)

  46. Estimated Fund Balance June 2013 • July 1, 2012 $1,094,371.91 • June 30, 2013 $ 634,371.91 • We’ll have used 58% of our fund balance in one year.

  47. Problem w/ Fund Balance • Unless we can continue to come up with an amount to offset property taxes equal to $460,000 next year, we would have to raise taxes by that amount or cut the budget by that amount. • $460,000 is equal to a 13% tax increase alone, which is way above the Tax Levy Cap imposed by Gov.Cuomo. • $460,000 in budget cuts would seriously impact the programs at BCS. • We will be out of Reserves and Fund Balance by 2014-15 Budget , unless we receive more state or federal aid.

  48. Passage of the Proposed Budget • Even if the District’s Proposed Budget is still under the Tax Levy Cap- • The proposed budget must pass by a majority vote of at least 51%

  49. Passage of the Proposed Budget • If a District wishes to pass a budget that is over the tax levy cap- • The Budget must pass by 60% of the voters of the District • Brocton’s proposed budget for 2012-13 is under the Tax Levy Cap
