Beaufort County’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2016-2017 does not include all of the funding the City of Washington is seeking from the county.

The city is seeking $1,323,490 from the county to help pay for operating the city-owned Brown Library, Grace Martin Harwell Senior Center, Hildred T. Moore Aquatic & Fitness Center and the city’s recreation facilities. The Beaufort County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to hear budget requests from outside agencies and others at a meeting Tuesday at the county’s administrative offices.

Mayor Mac Hodges is scheduled to present and explain the city’s funding request to the commissioners.

County Manager Brian Alligood’s recommended budget, presented to the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners last week, recommends $15,732 for the city’s recreation programs and $7,800 for Brown Library, a total of $23,532.

The breakdown of the city’s request is $539,488 for recreation facilities, $357,263 for the aquatic center, $293,822 for the library and $132,917 for the senior center.

The city is seeking county money, in part, because many county residents use city facilities and programs but do not pay city taxes to support them. According to city documents, 66 percent of the people using Brown Library are county residents who do not live in the city and 54 percent of the people using the senior center and city pool are county residents who do not live in the city.

In previous years, such requests for funding were made more or less on an informal basis. This year, the city submitted formal requests for the money — after the county required that formality, according to City Manager Bobby Roberson.

In an interview in March, Alligood made it clear the county commissioners are the final arbiters when it comes to determining the fate of the city’s funding requests. Alligood believes the city’s detailed funding requests will be helpful to the commissioners in deciding what county dollars, if any, the county will allocate to the city. Alligood, who was the city manager before becoming county manager, said his time as city manager provides him a better understanding of what the city wants to accomplish with its funding requests.

“We’re a public-service organization, and they are, too. Subsequently, we like to provide services for all citizens of Beaufort County, but we have to do it at reasonable cost,” Roberson said in March. “We’re not trying to make any money, but we’re certainly trying to break even. The activities that we are currently doing for the city of Washington and Beaufort County, the number of individuals who are participating in the programs — the majority of them are outside the city limits. In essence, our request to the county is to help us provide those services at the same level we’ve been providing them over the past three to five years.”

At a recent pubic hearing on the city’s proposed budget, several speakers said they believe Beaufort County should provide money to help operate the city’s pool. They said they would lobby for county funds to help support the pool. The public hearing on the proposed county budget is scheduled for June 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Superior Courtroom at the Beaufort County Courthouse.

Tuesday’s budget meeting, set for 5:30 p.m., will be conducted at the county’s administrative offices, 121 W. Third St., Washington.
