SECTION XII. SETTING OF A MILLAGE RATE
The Newberry County
Council shall fix by Resolution a tax millage rate sufficient to support the
appropriations and levies herein made and shall advise the Auditor who shall
set said millage as advised by the County Council, and the Auditor, pursuant to
§4-15-150 of the S.C. Code of Laws, 1976, as amended, shall also set the
millage rate necessary to raise the levy for debt service on bonded
indebtedness. To the extent required by
Section 6-1-320 of the S.C. Code of Laws, 1976, as amended, any millage rate
set above that for the previous fiscal year, which shall be in excess of the
increase of average of the twelve monthly consumer price indexes for the most
recent twelve month period consisting of January though December of the
preceding calendar year, i.e. 2006, plus the percentage increase in the
previous year in the population of the County as determined by the Office of
Research and Statistics of the State Budget and Control Board, shall only be
imposed by a two thirds vote of the membership of Newberry County Council and
only for one or more of those five purposes specified in Section 6-1-320 (B) of
the S.C. Code of Laws, 1976, as amended, to wit: (1) the deficiency of the
preceding year; (2) any catastrophic event outside the control of the governing
body such as a natural disaster, severe weather event, act of God, or act of
terrorism, fire, war, or riot; (3)
compliance with a court order or decree; (4) taxpayer closure due to
circumstances outside the control of the governing body that decreases by ten
percent or more the amount of revenue payable to the taxing jurisdiction in the
preceding year; or (5) compliance with a regulation promulgated or statute
enacted by the federal or state government after the ratification date of the amendments to § 6-1-320 set
forth in 2006 Act No. 388, Pt II, § 2.A., for which an appropriation or a method for obtaining an appropriation is
not provided by the federal or state government. Any such tax imposed for such purpose must be listed on the tax
statement as a separate surcharge, with an explanation of the reason for each
separate surcharge.
Reserve Fund
Maintenance
In accordance with Code
Section 6-1-320 (D) of the South Carolina Code of Laws 1976, as amended,
Newberry County Council instructs the County Auditor to levy a separate Reserve
Fund Maintenance Millage for purposes of ensuring the County’s ability to
maintain sufficient financial reserves to meet unforeseen budgetary needs of
the County, and to ensure the timely expenditure of budgeted
appropriations. Such millage shall be
levied subsequent to the adoption of this and all future annual operating
budgets, together with any amendments thereto, with such levy producing the
funding necessary, as specifically budgeted, to maintain the Reserve Fund. For any year (s) in which County Council
does not specifically budget revenue needs for this purpose, the millage levy
shall nonetheless be nominally printed on the tax bills as a “Reserve Fund”
levy, expressing the need for no ad valorem taxation (0.00 mills) for this
purpose.
The County Administrator may, if he
deems it in the best interest of the County and within the appropriations
provided by this ordinance, transfer funds or any portion thereof from any
fund, department, activity, or purpose to another fund, department, activity,
or purpose. Amounts over $5,000 from
the Contingency Fund shall be transferred by the County Council. Neither the Administrator, nor any
Department Head, may establish or fund any new position without the knowledge
and consent of the County Council.
SECTION XIV.
BUDGET PROVISOS
The
Budget Provisos attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference and shall
be published in the Budget Book as part of the County Budget for the Fiscal
Year 2007-2008. Unless otherwise
directed by this Ordinance, these Provisos shall govern the expenditures made
by the County and the conduct of those
recipients of such funds with regard to the matters mentioned therein.
SECTION XV. TAX ANTICIPATION BORROWING
In the event that County Council
determines that it is necessary to borrow money in order to meet the
operational cash flow needs of the County for this fiscal year until sufficient
tax revenues have been collected, the County, as authorized by subsequent
Resolution or Resolutions of Newberry County Council, may borrow sufficient
funds to meet such operational cash flow needs, by executing one or more tax
anticipation notes, in a total amount outstanding not to exceed Four Million
($4,000,000) Dollars, said sums to be repaid on such terms as County Council
may negotiate from tax collections for
the Fiscal Year 2007-2008, with all amounts borrowed to be repaid prior to the
end of such fiscal year.
SECTION XVI.
SEVERABILITY
If any clause, phrase, sentence,
paragraph, appropriation, or section of this Ordinance shall be held invalid,
it shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Ordinance or of the
remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, appropriations, or sections
not affected by such invalidity.
SECTION XVII. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Ordinance shall become effective
when adopted and shall govern the revenues and expenditures for the Fiscal Year
2007-2008, which commences on July 1, 2007, including the disposition of funds
carried forward from the prior fiscal year, unless otherwise encumbered.
AND
