<br />* * General Fund departments such as police, fire, and general government functions are
<br />accounted for in the General Fund, of which, approximately 60% of the overall funding sources is
<br />the property tax levy. However, in some cases other revenues are tied to specific functions that
<br />lower the amount supported by property taxes. See example below.
<br />
<br />Example - Finance Department:
<br />2004 Finance Department Budget
<br />Less contracted bookkeeping services to the HRA
<br />Less contracted bookkeeping services to the R V A
<br />Less profits from the License Center (managed by Fin Dept.)
<br />Less business licensing fees (managed by Fin Dept.)
<br />Less liquor licensing fees (managed by Fin. Dept.)
<br />
<br />$403,525
<br />($4,250)
<br />($25,000)
<br />(100,000)
<br />($37,500)
<br />($200,000)
<br />
<br />Net amount of property taxes needed to support the department
<br />
<br />$36,775
<br />
<br />% of budget supported by property taxes
<br />
<br />9%
<br />
<br />In this case, one could also argue that because the department is responsible for managing the
<br />City's investment portfolio, and if the Department were to charge an investment management fee
<br />similar to practices in the private sector, the Department would also collect an additional
<br />$175,000 annually (assuming a 0.5% fee on a $35 million investment portfolio).
