2018 Budget PresentationBudget Hearing:
October 9, 2017
Budget Adoption:
October 23, 2017
THE FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT EVERY PUBLIC BUDGET:
1. How much do we propose to spend and on what would we spend it?
2. What revenues and resources will we have to support the needed expenditures?
3. Will our budget be balanced?
4. What does all this mean to the taxpayer?
5. What is our long-term outlook?
FIRST:
The Required State of
Indiana Budget Forms and
Related Budget Documents
DLGF’s State Budget Forms for 2018
Form 1 – Detail of Appropriations
Form 2 – Projected Revenues
Form 3 – Summary Totals of Appropriations and
Levies
Form 4A – Another Summary of Appropriations
Form 4B – Calculation of Levies
Required Supporting Documents:• Current Year Worksheets
• Debt Service Worksheets
• CPF and Bus Replacement Plans
“Advertised” and “Actual”
The
“Advertised”
Budget
• Required format
• Required forms
• Rates, levies, calculations
pre-ordained or strongly
recommended because
of statutory process and
state level
oversight/direction
The “Actual” Budget
• Anticipated revenues
based on formulas and
laws
• Anticipated expenditures
based on continuing
contracts and other
obligations
Projections!
DISCLAIMER: THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES, PROJECTIONS OF COSTS, TAX RATES, LEVIES, ANDAPPROPRIATIONS, AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION AND DATA PRESENTED HEREIN ARE INTENDED FOR INFORMATIONAL OR ANALYTICAL USE ONLY AND MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. THE STATE FORMS SHOWN IN THE OFFICIAL BUDGET (STATE FORMS 1 THROUGH 4B, THE CAPITAL PROJECTS PLAN, THE BUS REPLACEMENT PLAN, AND ALL OTHER STATE REQUIRED RELATED DOCUMENTS) CONSTITUTE THE OFFICIAL 2018 BUDGET OF THE ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE AMOUNTS SHOWN ON THE OFFICIAL STATE FORMS AND DOCUMENTS AND ITEMS IN THIS PRESENTATION, IF ANY, ARE SPECULATIVE, BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN FUTURE EVENTS, AND CANNOT BE CONSTRUED AS CONTRADICTIONS OF OR DISCREPANCIES IN OR WITH THE OFFICIAL BUDGET.
FURTHER, THE PROJECTIONS AND ESTIMATES SHOWN, WHILE BASED ON THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THEIR FORMULATION, ARE SUBJECT TO UNKNOWN OR UNEXPECTED EVENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AT ANY TIME DURING THE BUDGET YEAR.
THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS ACHIEVED MAY THEREFORE BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PROJECTIONS AND ESTIMATES SHOWN.
About those Projections:The Purpose of our projections is to
inform the Board that in our opinion:
If the Board adopts “X”, the result will
be “Y.”
“Y” may not always be the result we
would like, but “X” has been carefully
formulated to yield the optimum “Y”
we can achieve from the state’s
budget process.

2018 BUDGET PRESENTATION SUMMARY:
The five questions about the proposed budget:
1. How much would we actually spend and what will we spend it on? An estimated $80.1 million will be expended.
2. What revenues and resources will we have to support the needed expenditures? All combined, revenues should be about $79.4 million, which will be made up of approximately 52% State Funding, 43% Property Taxes, and 5% Other Sources.
3. Will our budget be balanced? We expect the General Fund to be balanced . The Debt Service Fund will adjust its cash balance slightly, proportionate to savings from the refinancing of the 2005 bonds. All other funds will be balanced.
4. What does all this mean to the taxpayer? The total property tax bill for 2018 should be the same as in the past several years for nearly all homeowners. Rental and agricultural property, and commercial property, likely will see either no change or a tiny decrease.
5. What is our long-term outlook? Our outlook is fair. Our General Fund’s financial position remains dependent on continued continuity in future versions of the state funding formula. The overall property tax rate,whichsupports our other funds, is expected to remain steady at around $1.30 for the forseeable future. The long-term effects of the upcoming fund restructuring in 2019 are not yet known.
