The Fiscal Planning Guide provides data collected from municipal governments in Georgia through the 2002 Report of Local Government Finances. The Guide is a practical tool for local government officials in understanding the complexities of local finances in Georgia. Officials can use the Guide to examine the finances of their government in comparison with the finances of governments of comparable population size. The comparisons will provide officials with insights into how their governments are functioning in contrast with other local governments.
The information used to prepare the report was collected through a comprehensive survey of every municipal government in the state. The project surveyed only general public purpose local governments. Not included were entities such as school boards and independent authorities. The survey has been the basis of a twenty year-old cooperative agreement between the State of Georgia and the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The data collected by the survey is forwarded to the Census Bureau each year for inclusion in its nationwide series of reports on local governments.
The annual survey of local government finances obtains data for the most recent fiscal year which ended for each local government between July 1 and the following June 30 of each year. Data in this report is for the fiscal year, which ended between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2002. For that reason, the data reported does not conform to a specific 12-month calendar period, since governments may have differing fiscal years. In addition, governments are not required to use

audited data in responding to the survey. Therefore, a degree of caution must be used when analyzing and interpreting the data. In addition, as governments use different accounting systems,

certain data requested in the survey may not be available from each local government in the exact format requested.

Using this Guide

Comparing Local Finances Municipal government officials should have little difficulty using the data contained in this report. To compare the finances of a particular government with those of a similar size, these steps should be followed:
STEP 1. Determine the population group of the government. To do this, use Appendix C, which lists all municipalities alphabetically, along with their 2002 estimated population and the population group to which they belong (A through H).
STEP 2. Examine the data tables for the jurisdiction's population group. Each population group has a series of 10 tables. The group's letter designation is listed in the upper right hand corner of the page.
STEP 3. Compile the local government's data for comparison with the data of its population group. This may be difficult if audits and other local records are used. Therefore two options are suggested:
Best Option: Request a printout of the tables for your jurisdiction so that a direct comparison can be made. For this printout, contact:
Department of Community Affairs Research Services (404) 679-4907
2nd Best Option: Compile the data from your copy of the DCA local government finance survey, as completed in 2002 and submitted to DCA. Appendix B of this report provides the structure of data categories to be used in compiling the survey data to the form used in the tables.

A Word About The Tables Each set of tables is preceded by a brief profile showing the number of municipalities in the group, their population range, and the total population of the group.
Table Contents
1 General revenues by source
2 General Operating Expenditures by Category
3 Leading Capital expenditures
4 Debt Issued, Retired, Outstanding at End of Year and Interest Paid on Debt
5 Cash and Investment Assets Held at End of Year
6 Debt Outstanding at End of Year, by Purpose
7 Revenues and Expenditures from Enterprise Funds
8 Personnel Expenditures for Current Operations
9 Revenue Sources in Per Capita Rank Order
10 Expenditures in Per Capita Rank Order
Per capita and average amounts, as defined below, are the primary yardsticks used in the tables to compare the finances of jurisdictions of similar size. These numbers are merely ways to compare revenues and expenditures: they are not goals or recommended levels or amounts to achieve.

2002 Fiscal Planning Guide
Per Capita Amount: Total amount for any item or category divided by the estimated total 2002 estimated population of the jurisdictions reporting that amount. Average Amount: Total amount reported by the group divided by the number of jurisdictions reporting the item.
The "Fine Print"
There may be questions on the definition or use of a particular term. Most local governments will begin using the new Uniform Chart of Accounts for Local Governments in their fiscal year ending in 2002. Conversion to the uniform chart will provide greater uniformity in local government financial reporting. However, since local governments in Georgia are not yet required to conform to a "standard chart of accounts," these governments may not use the same terminology.
This lack of uniformity can cause problems, but two features in this guide are designed to minimize confusion. First, Appendix B outlines
Municipal Population Group Ranges

the structure of local finances employed by the Department of Community Affairs. It shows what items combine or form larger categories or classes of data. Second, a "Glossary" is included. Terms and usage likely to create confusion are explained.
Further definitions and clarifications are available upon request. The instructions received by local governments with the annual Report of Local Government Finances from DCA also contain specific instructions for accounting and reporting.
Feedback The Department of Community Affairs is determined to provide relevant information in a timely fashion and useful form. To improve the guide's content and utility, the Board and staff of the Department invite and encourage feedback. Ideas on additional data, how to present the information, and ways to better serve Georgia's local governments will be greatly appreciated.
