WHEREAS, the County Administrator has requested the Legislature to establish a tax-levy
guideline to use in working with departments and preparing his recommended budget for 2019, and

WHEREAS, it is currently estimated that the 2019 property tax cap imposed on all local

WHEREAS, as of April 25, 2018, the County Administrator estimates that a 2.2% increase in the
County’s property tax levy, which is equivalent to $1.1 million of the 2018 tax levy, including a 0.5%
increase dedicated to capital improvements identified in the County’s Capital Program, will support a
maintenance-of-effort budget for all County departments as well as addressing certain other critical needs
and priorities, and

WHEREAS, it is recognized that the County’s fiscal policy allows departments and agencies to
request funding in excess of their 2019 spending targets via an “Over-Target Request,” thereby allowing
the Legislature to consider exceeding the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget in the event that
compelling reasons to expand or maintain a program or service are presented, and

WHEREAS, it is estimated that, if the 2.2% property tax-levy increase is met, then the additional
cost on a $178,000 median-value Tompkins County home will be approximately $13.00 per year, and

County Clerk’s salary shall remain at $79,062.24 for 2018,
