Budget Message
In accordance with Section 6.25 of the City of Fort Oglethorpe City Charter, we proudly present the following Fiscal Year (FY) 2018
Budget and Budget Message to all residents and City Council for review, examination, and consideration. We are a community
comprised of individuals, families, and businesses, and we encourage feedback and involvement from all throughout the budget
development process to align our City’s fiscal needs with prudent management and oversight and establish a collective vision for the
future of the City of Fort Oglethorpe.
The proposed FY 2018 Budget is balanced as estimated revenues plus planned use of fund balance are equal to proposed
appropriations for the general fund, each special revenue fund, and each debt service fund as required by Georgia State Law
O.C.G.A. § 36-81-3.
The proposed FY 2018 Budget is more than a financial plan. In addition, the proposed FY 2018 Budget is an operations guide, a
policy device, and a communications tool. As an operations guide, the document includes organizational charts; describes the
activities, services, and functions carried out by each organizational unit; states the goals and objectives of organizational units; and
provides objective measures of progress toward accomplishing the City’s mission as well as goals and objectives for each
department. As a policy device, the document includes a budget message articulating priorities and issues for the upcoming year;
and it outlines the process for preparing, reviewing, and adopting the budget for the coming fiscal year. The proposed FY 2018
Budget is a communications tool as it is provided in an easy to use format with a table of contents, charts and graphs, and other
important supplemental information describing the organization, its community, and the population.
OVERVIEW OF FY 2017 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Over the course of 2017, Fort Oglethorpe experienced many positive changes as an organization and as a community. In February
2017, the Mayor and City Council made several key appointments including a new City Manager and a new Police Chief.
Additionally, new directors were ratified for the departments of Streets, Parks, and Recreation and Building, Planning, and Zoning.
Nearly 45% of the organization’s administrative leadership changed in 2017.
The change in leadership stopped with the organization’s administrative staff. The community, in strong support of the Mayor and
City Council, did not oppose the three candidates up for election in November 2017. For the first time in the city’s history, the sitting
elected leaders ran unopposed. Leadership provided by the Mayor and City Council resulted in many significant community
improvements in 2017.

BUDGET BRIEF
The primary points of emphasis of the FY 2018 Budget include continued efforts to promote and sustain public safety and dedicate
resources to maintaining and expanding public infrastructure. The proposed budget includes a $3 per hour raise for part-time
firefighters, three new full-time firefighter positions, an upward adjustment in the starting salary for patrol officers, and changes in
employer/employee contributions for health insurance. Additionally, a five-year capital improvement plan is included in the proposed
FY 2018 Budget.
The FY 2018 Budget totals $15,060,668 in revenues for all appropriated funds. Revenues are allocated within the general fund,
water and sewer fund, and other funds including confiscated assets, multiple grants (Police), hotel/motel tax, SPLOST, CDBG, and
municipal court.
The FY 2018 Budget allocates $13,768,668 in revenue for operations. The operating budget anticipates maintaining a reserve
sufficient to cover governmental operations for at least four months and upholds the city’s rollback millage rate of 6.632. General fund
revenues are allocated to dedicate limited resources to critical public safety improvements. The proposal includes reducing the city’s
portion of family and plus one health insurance from 85% to 80% in 2018. The city’s employee portion remains at 85%. Future
proposed budgets may include additional reductions in the city’s contribution to employee health insurance. In 2018, each
percentage reduction in city contribution to plus one and family coverage releases over $8,000 in resources to be allocated to city
service priorities. The total projected savings in health insurance in 2018 is $40,588.18.
11
The FY 2018 Budget allocates $1,292,000 in revenue for capital projects. Key elements of the capital budget include $149,285 for
paving, intersection, and sidewalk improvements and specific allocations for long-term enhancements such as the Lafayette Road
streetscape enhancement improvement project. Planned equipment purchases in 2018 include replacement of personal protective
equipment, breathing apparatus, and 800 MHz radios for the Fire and Police Departments as well as the purchase of new body
cameras for the Police Department. The total planned capital expenditures for equipment replacement is $193,570 in 2018. Vehicle
replacements for public safety vehicles total $161,975 in 2018.
Additional capital improvements planned for 2018 include:
• Fort Oglethorpe City Gymnasium: $75,000
• Installation of Storm Drains and Vehicle/Equipment Wash Bay at the Shop: $35,000
• Geographic Information System and Storm Water Projects: $100,000
• Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Projects: $31,455
• Replace Walkways at Ball Complex: $100,000

The FY 2018 Budget invests in the community’s pursuit of improved infrastructure, roads, sidewalks and parks, while creating new
ways to invigorate the beneficial assets and opportunities existing today, which in turn, affect the quality of life tomorrow. Each of the

grow. The 2020 census will demonstrate the fast paced growth with the population likely to exceed 10,000. The proposed initiatives
and budget requests from departments reflect the plans and capital enhancements designed to enliven, enrich, and improve the
community.
SUMMARY
The proposed FY 2018 Budget provides a means to invest in and invigorate our growing community. The document outlines a
carefully developed plan to deliver dependable and fiscally sound city services. We look forward to reviewing and discussing the FY
2018 Budget proposal over the coming weeks and appreciate your thoughtful input throughout the process.
