Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element
<br />Many of the revenue sources identified in the CIP have unique characteristics. For example, sales
<br />taxes react differently than gas taxes to similar circumstances. The analysis accounts for such
<br />differences. Because gas taxes are levied on a per gallon basis rather than a price percentage basis
<br />like the sales tax, gas taxes do not increase as a result of rising prices the way that sales taxes do.
<br />Further, gas taxes do not typically decline as significantly as sales taxes during economic
<br />slowdowns. For property taxes, impact fees, user fees, interest earnings, and other revenues,
<br />additional behavioral characteristics were considered in forecasting future receipts. All such
<br />forecasts were developed with the use of professionally accepted methodologies. To ensure a
<br />financially balanced CIP (see Appendix A), scheduled expenditures were constrained by projected
<br />revenues.
<br />As part of this capital improvements element, the County's general revenues were forecasted for fiscal
<br />years 2016/17 through 2020/21. This section addresses general revenues and earmarked projected
<br />revenues as well as the county's tax base and millage rate projections.
<br />• Overall Forecasted Revenues
<br />Table 6.7 summarizes the County's forecasted revenue for fiscal years 2016/17 through 2020/21.
<br />Those revenues include the County's general governmental funds, enterprise funds, and internal
<br />funds. As table 6.7 shows, general revenue collected by the County is forecast to remain relatively
<br />level from fiscal year 2016/17 to fiscal year 2020/21 with revenues from "Other Sources" such as
<br />grants fluctuating.
