BACKGROUND: On September 27, the Board of Supervisors and the School Board met to review the FY 20 - 24 amendment year process, learn more about the County’s debt capacity and affordability challenges, and discuss ways the Boards can work together to address capital needs in the future. They also received information about Public Private Partnerships (P3s) and the Public Private Education Act (PPEA). During this meeting, Board members shared that they would like to continue their joint discussion on P3s and PPEAs.
Additionally, in October of each year, the Board of Supervisors and School Board meet to gain an understanding of the Human Resources Department’s annual compensation market analysis and benefits information. They also meet in November to review long-range fiscal planning information prior to the annual budget process.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: Rather than hold separate work sessions to address these topics, this year during the November 5 work session, the Board and the School Board will:
• Review a summary of their September 27 conversation regarding ways to work together in the future;
• Gain additional understanding of the Public Private Education Act (PPEA), and consider necessary steps to position the County to utilize the PPEA for future projects, consider adoption of PPEA guidelines, consider timing elements associated with P3s and Center 1, and consider next steps;
• Gain an understanding of the County’s compensation market analysis, compensation initiatives and a long-term outlook of our health insurance plan;
• Receive a brief introduction to Five Year Plan Revenue Assumptions;
• Gain an understanding of the School Division’s five-year Financial Plan; and
• Review next steps in the long-range and annual budget development processes.
BUDGET IMPACT: Long-range financial planning connects long-range fiscal planning with strategic plans and provide an important context for the annual budget process.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
The Board of Supervisors and the School Board utilize this work session to gain additional understanding about Public Private Partnerships and the Public Private Education Act, employee compensation market analysis and initiatives, the health care program, and the School Division’s long-range financial plan.
