$24.7 million from TIF districts. Due to this,
the County will lose property tax revenue in
the sum of $5.1 million.
Debt Service/Repayment:
County Treasurer Tom Kriz said County gov-
ernments are allowed to finance certain ex-
penses by borrowing the funds and paying off
the resulting loans or bonds through the Debt
Service fund tax levy. The expenses would
have been included in the FYI4 budget, re-
gardless of their financing. The additional tax
of $1 million in revenue from TIF districts in
FYI4 will reduce the typical residential FY14
property tax bill by $19 per $100,000 assessed
value.
Deputy Treasurer Dana Aschenbrenner said
the County's debt at the end of FY12 was

$14.7 million which is about 2.7% of the
statutory debt limit, with the debt at the end
of FY14 scheduled to drop to $14.4 million.
Aschenbrenner presented th e debt repayment
schedule and said all debt incurred in FY14
will be extinguished by the end of Fiscal Year
2016.
FY14 Budget Highlights
Rettig said on average, natural valuation
growth is $1 million to $2 million. Each year,
the County's base personnel cost increases just
over $I million. For FY14, natural growth is
projected to be only $600,000, which creates
a $400,000 gap. Funding tbr Mental Health/
Disability Services regionalization is still
developing at the state level but the County
budget includes a contingency plan to address
yet unknown developments.
Rettig said in FY14, SF.ATS tax askings are
projected at $457,000, of which Iowa City
is to pay $100,000 and Coralville is to pay
$30,000.
Rettig highlighted nine new initiatives for
FY14. Budget neutral Board-approved initia-
tives include a focus on nutrition programs for
senior dining, and Johnson County Poor Farm
restoration to enhance the trails network. The
total budget for Board-approved initiatives is
$128,942.
Secondary Roads:
Sullivan said 15 years ago, the County inherit-
ed abotit 23 miles of road due to the transfer of
jurisdiction from the State. The small annual
stipend of $255,000 from the State discontin-
ues in FY14, and so now the County is fully
responsible for upkeep and repairs. The cost
to repair three of the transferred roads was
over $7 million. Johnson County will address
following in FYI4: Mehaffey Bridge Re-
placement, Mehaffey Bridge Road, and 520th
Street Phase 111 at a cost of approximately $15
million.
The countywide levy, without the Joint Emer-
gency Communications Center (JECC), is
$6.01 per $1,000 of valuation.
Services to Rural Residents
Sullivan reported the Animal Shelter services
budget is $227,694, the library services bud-
get is $655,244, and the Secondary Roads
transfer increase budget is $271,754 for heavy
duty maintenance on existing roads. The total
Rural Levy is $3.34 per $1,000 of valuation.
Joint Emergency Communications Center
(JECC):
Harney said the JECC exists per the Code
of Iowa and a 28E Agreement with Johnson
County and several other governmental enti-
ties. The Board does not have fiscal control
over the JECC and is mandated to fund JECC
operations out of the General Supplemental
Fund via Emergency Management. JECC
operational expenses are $3,518,779. In ad-
dition, the JECC building bond is $4.1 mil-
lion and the equipment bond is $11 million.
For F¥14, the total cost is $5,119,212 and the
total levy is $0.74 per $1,000 of valuation. Of
the total countywide levy, Johnson County re-
ceives $6.01 per $100,000 in valuation and the
JECC receives $0.725.
FYI4 Budget Summary
Claiborne said MH/DS, Central Services, and
Secondary Roads generate a significant por-
tion of the non-tax countywide revenue.
