July 16th, 2013

FIT Discussion Topics

• ET+FIT Overview• Revenue Projections• Expenditure Projections• Output and Summary

Model Overview• Method based on the Federal Reserve Fiscal Impact Tool (FIT)

– County-level analysis– Aggregates all sub-county jurisdictions– Provides a standardized method for conducting planning-based fiscal

assessments• Revenues & Cost based on the Census of Gov’t finance data (2010)

– Provides user override for all assumptions• User inputs:

– County / Municipal population– Annual taxable sales (County total & City)– Property & Sales tax rates (weighted average)– Property assessment ratios (weighted average)– Added population & employment (from ET+)– Added project value by land-use (from ET+)

Existing Conditions

What is the current fiscal outlook?• Census of Governments (2010)

- County-level data- Annual revenue, capital outlays, operations & maintenance

• Local data (2011)- Taxable sales- Tax rates- Assessment Ratios

Local Data Sources

More recent data (2011) gathered for each city, village and township and aggregated to the county level:• State Auditor of Ohio - Summarized 2011 Annual Financial Data for

all jurisdictions• Ohio Department of Taxation – Sales tax and property tax rates for

all jurisdictions• Assessor’s Data– Assessed land and building valuation at the

parcel level as an input to property tax calculations• Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Data (Census)–

Counts of employment by location as an input to municipal income tax calculations

Step 1: Model a library of building types that are financially feasible at the local level.

Building Prototypes

• Density and Design• Rents, Sales Prices• Market Value• Employment• Population• Costs and Affordability• Energy and Water Use

Use Real-World Examples

• Rents, sales prices calibrated to NEO region

• Design and density modeled using local examples

Projecting Future Revenue

ET+ FIT applies user-defined tax rates to scenario-defined population, employment, and building values.• Revenue projections

– Property tax– Sales tax– Income tax– Non-tax revenue

• Sewerage• Solid waste• Utility• Intergovernmental

FIT MODEL PROJECTED REVENUE

USER-DEFINED TAX RATES

Sales Tax Revenue Projection

• Annual sales tax revenue = [Total payroll in scenario] x [% consumer dollars spent subject to sales tax]

• Payroll based on County Business Patterns (CBP) data and scenario employment by sector

Property Tax Revenue Projection

• Annual scenario property tax revenue = [market value of scenario construction] x [millage rate] x [assessment ratio]

• Broken out by residential and commercial property types

Income Tax Revenue Projection

• [annual average wage by sector] x [scenario employment by sector] * [weighted average income tax rate]

• Weighted average based on municipal population ratio – incorporated v.s. unincorporated population in county

ET+FIT OverviewRevenue Projections• Up Next: Expenditure Projections• Output and Summary

Projecting Future Expenditures

• One-time expenditures (capital outlays)– New roadways, sewage treatment plant, school

construction

• On-going expenditures (operations & maintenance)– Public safety, housing and community development,

roadway maintenance

FIT MODELPROJECTEDEXPENDITURE

Capital Outlay Projection

• Envision Tomorrow + tracks capital outlay costs related to infrastructure:– Roads – lane miles of new roadway– Utilities – miles of overhead electric– Water/Sewerage – lineal feet of pipe

Development Type Assumptions• Each development type has associated road

lane miles per vacant acre assumptions• Less than 100% of these are publicly financed• City Architecture provided estimates of %

publicly financed by development type• It is assumed that sewer, water, and utilities

scale with miles of new roadway

Infrastructure Cost AssumptionsNew Infrastructure Costs

Sewerage Lineal Foot $ 100

Water Lines Lineal Foot $ 227

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projection

• The following categories are tracked:– Education– Hospitals– Roads– Police– Fire– Parks– Sewerage– Solid Waste– Utility

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projection

• ET+FIT uses scenario capital outlay to “pivot” around existing annual per capita O&M

• Future O&M is a factor of the change in average annual capital outlays

• Future per capita O&M = [Baseline per capita O&M] x [% change in average annual capital outlay]

• In estimating future O&M costs, it is assumed that all roads in a shared right of way will eventually be publicly maintained, even if privately constructed.

Discount rates are applied to costs and revenues over the forecast horizon. User can define when costs and revenues “ramp up”

Summary

• The summary tab aggregates existing costs and revenues with 30 year cost and revenue streams to provide a revenue/cost ratio

• If revenue/cost ratio is positive, revenue exceeds costs over the forecast horizon.

• Net reduction tells us the direct impact of the scenario on the cost to revenue ratio. Positive means that there was a negative impact.

• Scenario tells us the revenue/cost ratio of the scenario development by itself.
