County Directives to CSA Staff
• Financial Priorities
• Prevent any new cost shifts of state
programs to the county taxpayer.
• Reform the Public Safety Personnel
Retirement System
• Eliminate legislative mandates for
counties to fund state agencies: ADJC,
DOR, ASH and DPS.
• Increase investment in transportation
• Find a mutually beneficial solution to 1%
constitutional property tax cap liability shift
• Reestablish the counties’ share of lottery
revenue.
• Eliminate, fully fund, or require political
parties to pay for the costs associated
with the state-mandated PPE
• Advance client-initiated CSA-sponsored
legislation
• Engage legislation that impacts county
resources, services or authorities

Getting the Message Out
• Counties mobilize
to communicate
priorities
• Sustain ongoing
conversations with
decision-makers
• Legislators and
stakeholders hear
a consistent,
resounding
message

State Budget County Issues
• ADJC: 25% county payment to ADJC kept; however a one-time
$8 million appropriation to reimburse part of ADJC costs in FY
2017. Impact: $3.26 million.
• DOR: DOR must assess a fee to every county, city & town, and to
MAG & PAG. County share is $6.7 million, based on population.
• Lottery: $5.5 million to AZ Dept. of Administration to distribute to
10 counties under 200,000 persons in lieu of county lottery revenue.
• PPE: $6.13 million to reimburse counties for costs associated with
the PPE. This appropriation is in addition to the current funding in
the FY 2016 budget.
• HURF: One-time $30 million HURF appropriation; $10 million for
counties.
• Flexibility Language: Allows counties under 250,000 persons to
use any county revenue to meet any county fiscal obligation up to
$1.25 million.
• Increased Superior Court Salaries: Provides a two year
phase in of a 3% pay raise for judges. Once the raise is fully
implemented in FY 2018 the total cost to counties will be
approximately $691,540.
