Total Expenses

Employee Benefits revenue is heavily dependent upon property tax revenues. Property tax revenues are estimated to have a 3% increase every year.

Future expenditures are projected with the assumptions that personnel related expenditures will grow at a 3% rate annually and services will grow at a 2% rate annually. A large proportion of expenditures for the Employee Benefits Fund is the transfers out to the General Fund and Road Use Tax Fund to cover personnel benefits expense. These transfers are projected to grow at the same level as the property tax revenues.
