PRESENTATION REGARDING THE MARICOPA COUNTY FY 2020 RECOMMENDED
BUDGET
Presentation regarding the Maricopa County FY 2020 Recommended Budget. (C-49-19-016-P-00)
Cynthia Goelz, Budget Director

Recommended Budget.
Ms. Goelz thanked the Chairman and his staff, Laura Etter and Zach Schira for their help and
leadership. She also thanked the Board of Supervisors and all the elected officials and their
staff for working collaboratively with the Budget staff leading to the completion of this final
product.
Ms Goelz stated the total recommended budget for Maricopa County is $2,573,762,798. She
said this budget aligns with Chairman Gates’ vision for Smart Government with the ability to
respond to an unexpected economic downturn.
Ms. Goelz began by reviewing the budget guidelines and priorities that were adopted by the
Board of Supervisors on January 16, 2019.

In developing the budget it was a key assumption to keep a structural balance in operating
funds. This requires that recurring revenues meet or exceed recurring expenditures over the
economic cycle. The most likely revenue streams are:
State shared sales tax
State shared vehicle license tax
Jail excise tax
Reserve contingencies are based on historical utilization and revenue risks. They are built into
the budget in anticipation of an economic downturn.
Ms. Goelz reviewed the departments that submitted zero-based budgets listed on the slide

below.
Ms. Goelz reviewed the Major Budget Challenges as seen below. She noted with regards to
the Detention Fund, an additional $23M is needed from the General Fund to support the
Detention Fund.
Ms. Goelz said she wanted to review some economic factors that influenced the development
of this budget. The current economic recovery cycle is 119 months old and is the longest
recovery cycle the County has ever experienced. Contingencies have been built into the
budget to enable the County to weather economic shocks.

Page 9 of 42
Ms. Goelz stated that per the budget guidelines, the budget was based on a flat tax rate that is
reflected in the illustration below.
With a flat tax rate, any change to the property tax levy is the result of:
1.
The addition of property to the tax rolls; or
2.
A change to the valuation of existing property.
Ms. Goelz explained that as Proposition 117 limits the growth of valuations, the change in
property tax revenue does not mirror the change in property values. She said the Arizona
Constitution established a limit on the amount of primary property taxes that can be levied.
Based on a flat tax rate, the proposed levy of $605 million is $140.5 million below the
maximum levy.

Monday, May 20, 2019
Page 10 of 42
Chairman Gates asked how the County levy savings compare to other local governments. Ms.
Goelz stated that many counties are at their maximum levy amounts so Maricopa County is
unique in this situation.
The next slide reflects FY 2019 percentage of County Primary Property Taxes to Total
Property Taxes. Ms. Goelz said the FY 2020 County Primary Property Taxes percentage will
be updated in August when the new levies for Total Property Taxes are set.
Ms. Goelz stated that although we have been in expansion for the last 119 months, the State
Shared Sales Tax (a revenue source) has not mirrored the expansion. Since 2015, the year
over year growth has been steadily declining. Going forward the hope is there will not be the
steep decline in the State Shared Sales Tax.

Supervisor Hickman asked Ms. Goelz about the downward slope. Ms. Goelz said it appears
we are starting to see the end of the recovery.
The next slide shows a downward trend and what is to come. Other than the Property Tax, the
County’s Major Operating Revenues are the State Shared Sales Tax, Jail Tax (Detention Tax),
and Vehicle License Tax. In FY2019 there was a projected increase of 4-4.5 % increase.
However in recent months, all three of these revenues categories have been on the decline
(3.5% for state shared sales tax; .4% for vehicle license tax; 2.5% for the jail tax). If there is a
shock to our economy, our revenue expectations may not be met.

Each year the County has expenses (State Mandated costs) it cannot control. The following
slide summarizes the healthcare services as State Mandated Costs to the County. Ms. Goltz
stated for FY2020 those healthcare expenses amount to 17.8% which is a large percentage of
the general fund. Additionally there is another $6.7 million for Juvenile Corrections and $3
million for Department of Revenue. The combined total for the expenses to the State of
Arizona for FY2020 amount to 18.5% of General Fund operations.
Ms. Goelz said these projections are based on the Baseline Budget, and there could be an
additional $6 million expense for Long Term Care that is not currently built into this budget.
Ms. Goelz thanked the Government Relations team as they continue to work to relieve the
County of these State Mandated impacts.
The State of Arizona is slated to release budget information that will impact Maricopa County.
The following slide highlights some of the areas likely to impact the County FY2020 Budget:
Net Assessed Value of Solar panels: $1.7 million decrease (less property taxes
received)
Reduced state shared sales tax: $2.2 million increase
Property tax mailing cost: $500,000 increase
Increase ALTCS contribution based on utilization of services: $6-7 million increase
Legislature is considering a reduction in General Fund and Special Revenue Fund by
eliminating civil subpoena filing fee: $200,000 reduction

Contributions.

The next slide showing the Sheriff’s Office General Fund operating budget recommendation at
$125.8M that is a 1.8% increase or $2.2M. This increase is due to Base Retirement
Contributions and Telecom Charges. She reviewed the remainder of the slide.
Supervisor Hickman asked about the Expansion of Recruitment Campaign. He asked if they
had any information from the Sheriff’s office as to the effectiveness of the first recruitment
campaign. Ms. Goelz said they would find out.
Supervisor Hickman asked about the Contingency for Helicopter Purchase and what would be
done with the old one. Joy Rich, County Manager, confirmed that the old one is being
replaced/decommissioned. She was not sure if the old one could be sold or what the salvage
value would be. Ms. Rich said she would find out.
Regarding the Recruitment Campaign, Supervisor Gallardo noted the importance of retaining
the employees we have. It is a situation that many employers struggle with.
Chairman Gates commented on the impact that the low unemployment rate has throughout
the county. He said he was glad to hear that more millennials are entering the jobs market with
an attitude of wanting to be involved in something bigger than themselves.
Supervisor Sellers commented on targeted employee compensation strategy and retention.
There is a cost with high turnover and the County wants to minimize the turnover rate.

Ms. Hourigan reviewed the next slide. The MCSO General Fund Compliance operating budget
is 3.7% higher or $874K more than last year. The reason for the increase is due to Base

from FY2008-FY2020 was $151,050,067.

Administrative and Detective Positions; Six new positions related to 225 W. Madison operating
and moving costs.
The slide for Public Defense System General Operating Budget shows less than a 1% rise
which amounts to a $154K increase. This small increase is the result of base retirement
contributions.

regular reviews and quarterly updates with the Board. All adjustments would require Board
approval. Supervisor Gallardo said he had concerns as to where the allocated $35M went and
how did this result in a shortfall. He supports having the reserve available for use as needed.
