January 25, 2010

To Members of City Council, Mayor, and City Manager:

I have lived in Alexandria for 25 years and paid casual attention to the city's governance and management - until now. Upon hearing of our city's concern over a $40,000,000 potential deficit, I became curious as to how such a prosperous community could find itself in such straits and decided to do some research.

I studied the city' s annual report, the report of the State of Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts, reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and from the Securities and Exchange Commission. What I found was an astonishing lack of management, leadership, and governance in our city.

And here is why.

Growth of the population serves as a solid benchmark against which to compare growth in our government. Our population grew 11.6% between 2000 and 2009. How does an 11.6% growth in population manifest itself in growth of services and expenditures? One would assume they would be roughly in line, but not necessarily a direct correlation. After adjusting for inflation, here is what I found:

Per capita personal income up 17%
Great!

Total assessed property value up 106%
Great!

General property tax up 45%
Four times faster than population growth.

General property tax as percent of city revenue up 54%
Up 6.9 percentage points from 2000. Our city is more
dependent on general property tax.

City payroll up 41%
Up 16% faster than revenues and hogs 68.1% of revenues.

Average city salary up 36%
The average city employee makes almost 10% more than the
average citizen.

Total city expenditures up 54%
Up five times faster than population growth.

Expenditures per government employee up 49%
Easy to spend money that 's not yours. Four times the rate of
population increase. Is the quality of life in the city four times
better than in 2000?

City spending per citizen up 38%
Up from $3,450 per citizen to $4,775.

Education expenses up 50%
Four times faster than population growth and with a slightly
smaller student population. Are our children four times more
prepared or educated?

Expenditures per student up 47%
And one of the highest in the nation. Results?

This looks like a pretty dismal record of milking a cash cow rather than conserving resources.

And just what may be the root causes of this?

When looking at the breakdown by general departments, some areas of concentration stand out and point to areas needing thorough investigation by the city administration:

Department Size in Millions Percent Growth From 2000

Education $165.7 Is it top-heavy with administration?
There has been virtually no student
growth yet school payroll is up 41.1%

Public Safety 91.8 Up four times population growth?
Are we four times safer than in 2000?
Anecdotally I do not notice much
difference.

General Government 77.6 This looks like general overhead to
me. Should not have grown four
times as fast as the population
growth.

And whre might be the best areas to look for savings? Payroll stands out. The city has increased payroll at 3.5 times the rate of increase in our population.

If our payroll in proportion to revenue were the same as …
Savings to the city would be:
All Virginia Independent Cities $24,000,000
All Virginia Municipalities $9,500,000
Fairfax and Arlington Counties $85,000,000
Goldman Sachs $97,000,000

It appears that at a minimum no increase in compensation at any level of the government is justified and actually some tough decisions need to be made to get the payroll back in line with a minimum target of no more than 60% of revenues. If there is attrition as a result, so be it. We are in a tough economy with unemployment in Alexandria at 4.6% (U-3) and a projected U-6 rate of almost 8%. That compares to 6.2% and 10.6%, respectively, in the Metropolitan area. There are plenty of qualified people looking for jobs. It is time for the city employees to tighten their belts like the rest of us.

Raising taxes is an unacceptable solution. The job of the city government and leadership is to be faithful stewards of the resources of the city and its citizens. Constant vigilance to prevent the squandering of our resources and reducing costs must always be high on our leadership's agenda.

The city payroll is the largest target and opportunity. Where the rest comes from is a challenge and charge to the city government and leadership from the citizens of Alexandria.

Sincerely,

J.J. Smith
