ACTUAL BUDGET
FY2017 - 2018
TOWN COUNCIL
Danny Ritchie, Mayor
CarronFranklin

TOWN MANAGER
Sherri B. Bradshaw

BUDGET MESSAGE
Pursuant to Section 159-11 of the North Carolina General Statutes, I am pleased
to present the Town of Drexel's proposed FY 2017 — 2018 annual budget for your
review and consideration. The proposed budget is balanced and maintains the
property tax rate at $0.38 per hundred dollars of valuation. A copy of the proposed
budget is available at the Town Hall for the public to view.
The 2017 — 2018 proposed budget is $4,511,085. This budget allows Drexel to
remain a full-service town with the goal of continuing to provide quality services at the
most affordable prices possible. Being a full-service town continues to make Drexel a
great community in Burke County. Without a commercial tax base, Drexel is fortunate
to have maintained the excellent level of service its citizens have grown to enjoy. Grant
opportunities and economic development prospects will continue to be a focus this
budget year as administration works toward the cleanup and redevelopment of the old
Drexel Heritage property. With the donation of this property to the town comes the
extra-large task of cleaning up an eye sore of the community. With assistance from
Burke Development, Inc., ElectriCities and Western Piedmont Council of Governments,
the development of this property will be a major focus over the next few years. As the
property is developed, Drexel should see an increase in the tax base which will be a
positive factor in being able to sustain and improve the quality of life for Drexel's
citizens.
The General Fund accounts for the expenses incurred by the Town in providing
general municipal services. Police protection, fire protection, street maintenance,
garbage collection, recreation and legal services are accounted for in this fund.
The operation of the R. O. Huffman Center continues to be an uncertainty for the
future. General Fund revenues budgeted include the last settlement payment from
Burke County of $125,000, due by December 31, 2017. This budget revenue will allow
the continued operation and maintenance of the R. O. Huffman Center this year with
minimum maintenance and repairs. During the current fiscal period, the Recreation
Department acquired the task of leading the Burke County Youth Recreation Program
for the Drexel school district. The town received $12,650 from the Drexel Chargers
organization at the changeover. These funds have been placed in a separate account
for future recreation needs of this specific program. Also during the current fiscal
period, additional personnel was added to assist with the growth of the recreation
responsibilities. All recreation personnel are part-time, with a total of five (5) positions
being budgeted for the year. With full control of the youth recreation program, revenues
have increased minimally. Operating costs continue to outweigh revenues generated.
Although this is normal in the recreation business, Drexel is not positioned financially for
the burden of an aging recreation building and a full-fledged recreation program.
1

Decisions will need to be made during this budget year regarding the future of the R. O.
Huffman Center and the service of a recreation department.
The Police Department budget includes the implementation of CAD (Computer
Assisted Dispatch). The expense includes a one-time licensing fee for five mobile units
to be connected to the county emergency management system, plus the software and
server fees for annual service. Replacement of worn uniforms is an additional expense
(normally budgeted between vehicle purchases) and will include a color change for
shirts. The continued expense of the law enforcement separation allowance for one
retiree is budgeted. The expense of this one retiree will continue for approximately
seven years with other officers becoming eligible for retirement during this time frame.
Budgeted items for the Fire Department include the cycled replacement of
personal protective gear (SCBA systems), pagers, turnout gear and other
miscellaneous items. The bulk of the department's requests was included when
applying for the NCFSA state-wide grant. Monies were also allotted for the rebuilding of
the pump on Engine 2. $23,000 has been budgeted as revenue from expected receipt
of NCFSA grant. Debt on the 2011 Pierce International will be retired this budget year.
Other proposed General Fund expenses include;
Revenues for the General Fund include the continuance of a solid waste
disposal fee to be charged to all residents within the town limits. This fee will remain at
$7.00 per month and will be applied to the expense of providing household garbage
collection (once per week), rough trash collection (twice per week), limb/brush/leaf/
collection (constant rotation) and recycling (available year-round). This fee is charged
on the monthly utility bill.
The Electric Fund accounts for all operations of the electric distribution system
including administration expenses. Electric rates are budgeted to remain the same.
ElectriCities passed a wholesale rate decrease of two percent effective July 1, 2017.
Maintaining rates at the present schedule will help compensate for salaries, equipment
and maintenance of power lines. Substation maintenance will continue in this budget
year. A major expense for the Electric Fund budget will be the warehouse expansion.
Storage of equipment and materials continues to be an extreme need. (the warehouse
expansion project is a carry-over item from the current budget.) Another large expense
for the Electric Department is the contracting of WPCOG to provide services in the
development and implementation of an asset inventory and assessment of the town's
electric system. Over the course of the 2017-2018 fiscal period, the entire system will
be inventoried and assessed, documented to a database. Once completed, the town
staff will have computer and mobile access to the town's electrical system — a GIS/GPS
of the entire system. Monies have also been budgeted for the expansion of electrical
services to the old Drexel Heritage site once development of the property begins.
2

The expense of participation in Burke Development Inc. ($6511), as well as
Drexel's share of the Burke Business Park ($8020), is included in the Electric Fund's
administrative budget. Also, included in the Administration Department is the continued
assistance of Western Piedmont Council of Governments. WPCOG will provide
technical assistance regarding Code Enforcement and Minimum Standard Housing,
review and update of the Zoning Ordinance and areas of economic development. An
individual from WPCOG will be on-site one day per week, twice per month. Continued
participation in the North Carolina Debt Setoff Program has allowed the Town to recoup
some of the bad debt incurred when utility customers leave our system.
The Water/Sewer Fund accounts for the operation of the distribution and
collection system for these utilities. Drexel continues to purchase water from City of
Morganton and wastewater treatment from Town of Valdese. North Carolina Rural
Water Association completed a water/sewer rate study in March, 2015. Although the
period,
five-yeara rate increase is not being
study suggested rate increases for a
proposed for this budget. Rate increases from Morganton or Valdese may give cause
to revisit the possibility of a rate increase later in the year. Sixty radio-read meters have
been budgeted in the second stage of water meter replacement. Most water meters on
the system are thirty plus years old. Steady replacement of aged meters will make a
huge impact on the water loss in the system and will improve revenues. The
Water/Sewer Fund also has monies budgeted for the inventory and assessment of the
water distribution system. Once completed, the town staff will have a GIS/GPS of the
entire system. Drexel was awarded a grant by the State Water Infrastructure Authority
for the wastewater asset inventory and assessment that will coincide with the electric
and water system collection of data. Monies have also been budgeted for the match for
the grant.

to be effective 1
of 2 o is recommended ,
A cost of livingadjustment (COLA) / July
2017 for all employees (payroll date July 14, 2017). The Public Works Department has
one vacancy for a general laborer. Currently this position is being filled by contract labor
through a temp service. The Police Department's budget includes a certified reserve
officer working one weekend per officer during the year for a total of one hundred forty-
four hours. Money has been budgeted for possible merit increases. These merit
increases would be effective January 1, 2017 and will be based on employees obtaining
necessary certifications. Although health insurance premiums continue to rise, Drexel
was fortunate to receive a decrease of three percent. A longevity program is included
at an expense of $700 for this proposed budget. This is a once per year monetary
award based on years of service to be given in November. Anyone employed at least
five years at the first award will receive a monetary gift of the last milestone passed.
The breakdown is in five-year increments beginning at five years and going through
thirty years. The monetary amounts are in $25 increments from $25.00 to $150.00.
3

As stated in the previous year, the Town of Drexel has a great team of
employees and it is a team that gives one hundred percent all the time. With this team,
we have a wealth of knowledge that could never be compensated for its worth. Besides
"doing their jobs", we have a group of employees who truly care about the job being
accomplished and how it affects the town and its citizens. Starting with the department
adifference
in the day-
to-day
heads and working its way down, this group of employees makeY
to help
to-da lives of our citizens. On a regular basis, employees will go the extra mile
y
someone — it just makes the day "smile worthy" when a call comes in complimenting a
Town employee or employees for doing a good deed! Those calls do happen and it
happens for department — Public Works, Police, Recreation, Fire and
pp every
Administration. Maintaining a well-trained and motivated workforce will help us to
continue being a success in serving the Drexel community.
A Fee Schedule is included as part of the Budget Message with no changes
being made to the current schedule.
In summary, the overall 2017 - 2018 budget has decreased by $177,049 over
the present budget and allows us to continue as a full-service town. The tax rate is
proposed to remain the same at $0.38/$100. The electric rates will remain the same
with the exception of the Renewable Energy fee. Water and sewer rates will remain the
same. A solid waste disposal fee of $7.00 per resident will continue to assist in the cost
of all solid waste disposal within the Town. All department heads have worked hard at
requesting needs and are to be commended for time spent preparing their
department's requests. The total budget is $4,511,085 and no services are
recommended to be eliminated or decreased.

BUDGET MESSAGE
Pursuant to Section 159-11 of the North Carolina General Statutes, I am pleased
to present the Town of Drexel's proposed FY 2017 — 2018 annual budget for your
review and consideration. The proposed budget is balanced and maintains the
property tax rate at $0.38 per hundred dollars of valuation. A copy of the proposed
budget is available at the Town Hall for the public to view.
The 2017 — 2018 proposed budget is $4,511,085. This budget allows Drexel to
remain a full-service town with the goal of continuing to provide quality services at the
most affordable prices possible. Being a full-service town continues to make Drexel a
great community in Burke County. Without a commercial tax base, Drexel is fortunate
to have maintained the excellent level of service its citizens have grown to enjoy. Grant
opportunities and economic development prospects will continue to be a focus this
budget year as administration works toward the cleanup and redevelopment of the old
Drexel Heritage property. With the donation of this property to the town comes the
extra-large task of cleaning up an eye sore of the community. With assistance from
Burke Development, Inc., ElectriCities and Western Piedmont Council of Governments,
the development of this property will be a major focus over the next few years. As the
property is developed, Drexel should see an increase in the tax base which will be a
( positive factor in being able to sustain and improve the quality of life for Drexel's
citizens.
The General Fund accounts for the expenses incurred by the Town in providing
general municipal services. Police protection, fire protection, street maintenance,
garbage collection, recreation and legal services are accounted for in this fund.
The operation of the R. O. Huffman Center continues to be an uncertainty for the
future. General Fund revenues budgeted include the last settlement payment from
Burke County of $125,000, due by December 31, 2017. This budget revenue will allow
the continued operation and maintenance of the R. O. Huffman Center this year with
minimum maintenance and repairs. During the current fiscal period, the Recreation
Department acquired the task of leading the Burke County Youth Recreation Program
for the Drexel school district. The town received $12,650 from the Drexel Chargers
organization at the changeover. These funds have been placed in a separate account
for future recreation needs of this specific program. Also during the current fiscal
period, additional personnel was added to assist with the growth of the recreation
responsibilities. All recreation personnel are part-time, with a total of five (5) positions
being budgeted for the year. With full control of the youth recreation program, revenues
have increased minimally. Operating costs continue to outweigh revenues generated.
Although this is normal in the recreation business, Drexel is not positioned financially for
the burden of an aging recreation building and a full-fledged recreation program.
; 1

Decisions will need to be made duringthis budget year regarding the future of the R. O.
Huffman Center and the service of a recreation department.
The Police Department budget includes the implementation of CAD (Computer
Assisted Dispatch). The expense includes a one-time licensing fee for five mobile units
to be connected to the county emergency management system, plus the software and
server fees for annual service. Replacement of worn uniforms is an additional expense
(normally budgeted between vehicle purchases) and will include a color change for
shirts. The continued expense of the law enforcement separation allowance for one
retiree is budgeted. The expense of this one retiree will continue for approximately
seven years with other officers becoming eligible for retirement during this time frame.
Budgeted items for the Fire Department include the cycled replacement of
personal protective gear (SCBA systems), pagers, turnout gear and other
miscellaneous items. The bulk of the department's requests was included when
applying for the NCFSA state-wide grant. Monies were also allotted for the rebuilding of
the pump on Engine 2. $23,000 has been budgeted as revenue from expected receipt
of NCFSA grant. Debt on the 2011 Pierce International will be retired this budget year.
Other proposed General Fund expenses include:
Revenues for the General Fund include the continuance of a solid waste
disposal fee to be charged to all residents within the town limits. This fee will remain at
c ' $7.00 per month and will be applied to the expense of providing household garbage
collection (once per week), rough trash collection (twice per week), limb/brush/leaf/
collection (constant rotation) and recycling (available year-round). This fee is charged
on the monthly utility bill.
The Electric Fund accounts for all operations of the electric distribution system
including administration expenses. Electric rates are budgeted to remain the same.
ElectriCities passed a wholesale rate decrease of two percent effective July 1, 2017.
Maintaining rates at the present schedule will help compensate for salaries, equipment
and maintenance of power lines. Substation maintenance will continue in this budget
year. A major expense for the Electric Fund budget will be the warehouse expansion.
Storage of equipment and materials continues to be an extreme need. (the warehouse
expansion project is a carry-over item from the current budget.) Another large expense
for the Electric Department is the contracting of WPCOG to provide services in the
development and implementation of an asset inventory and assessment of the town's
electric system. Over the course of the 2017-2018 fiscal period, the entire system will
be inventoried and assessed, documented to a database. Once completed, the town
staff will have computer and mobile access to the town's electrical system — a GIS/GPS
of the entire system. Monies have also been budgeted for the expansion of electrical
services to the old Drexel Heritage site once development of the property begins.
•

The expense of participation in Burke Development Inc. ($6511), as well as
Drexel's share of the Burke Business Park ($8020), is included in the Electric Fund's
administrative budget. Also, included in the Administration Department is the continued
assistance of Western Piedmont Council of Governments. WPCOG will provide
technical assistance regarding Code Enforcement and Minimum Standard Housing,
review and update of the Zoning Ordinance and areas of economic development. An
individual from WPCOG will be on-site one day per week, twice per month. Continued
participation in the North Carolina Debt Setoff Program has allowed the Town to recoup
some of the bad debt incurred when utility customers leave our system.
The Water/Sewer Fund accounts for the operation of the distribution and
collection system for these utilities. Drexel continues to purchase water from City of
Morganton and wastewater treatment from Town of Valdese. North Carolina Rural
Water Association completed a water/sewer rate study in March, 2015. Although the
rate study suggested rate increases for a five-year period, a rate increase is not being
proposed for this budget. Rate increases from Morganton or Valdese may give cause
to revisit the possibility of a rate increase later in the year. Sixty radio-read meters have
been budgeted in the second stage of water meter replacement. Most water meters on
the system are thirty plus years old. Steady replacement of aged meters will make a
huge impact on the water loss in the system and will improve revenues. The
Water/Sewer Fund also has monies budgeted for the inventory and assessment of the
water distribution system. Once completed, the town staff will have a GIS/GPS of the

2017 for all employees (payroll date July 14, 2017). The Public Works Department has
one vacancy for a general laborer. Currently this position is being filled by contract labor
through a temp service. The Police Department's budget includes a certified reserve
weekend per officer during the year for a total of one hundred forty-
four

increases would be effective January 1, 2017 and will be based on employees obtaining
necessary certifications. Although health insurance premiums continue to rise, Drexel
was fortunate to receive a decrease of three percent. A longevity program is included
at an expense of $700 for this proposed budget. This is a once per year monetary
award based on years of service to be given in November. Anyone employed at least
five years at the first award will receive a monetary gift of the last milestone passed.

As stated in the previous year, the Town of Drexel has a great team of
employees and it is a team that gives one hundred percent all the time. With this team,
we have a wealth of knowledge that could never be compensated for its worth. Besides
"doing their jobs", we have a group of employees who truly care about the job being
accomplished and how it affects the town and its citizens. Starting with the department
heads and working its way down, this group of employees make a difference in the day-
to-day lives of our citizens. On a regular basis, employees will go the extra mile to help
someone — it just makes the day "smile worthy" when a call comes in complimenting a
Town employee or employees for doing a good deed! Those calls do happen and it
happens for every department — Public Works, Police, Recreation, Fire and
Administration. Maintaining a well-trained and motivated workforce will help us to
continue being a success in serving the Drexel community.
A Fee Schedule is included as part of the Budget Message with no changes
being made to the current schedule.
In summary, the overall 2017 - 2018 budget has decreased by $177,049 over
the present budget and allows us to continue as a full-service town. The tax rate is
proposed to remain the same at $0.38/$100. The electric rates will remain the same
with the exception of the Renewable Energy fee. Water and sewer rates will remain the
same. A solid waste disposal fee of $7.00 per resident will continue to assist in the cost
( of all solid waste disposal within the Town. All department heads have worked hard at
requesting needs and are to be commended for time spent preparing their
department's requests. The total budget is $4,511,085 and no services are
recommended to be eliminated or decreased.

appropriate written notice to the Town. In the event such customers "opt-out", they are not subject to the
DSM/Energy Efficiency portion of the charges above. All customers are subject to the Renewable Resources
portion of the charges above.
