Commission approves 2013 cash proffer survey showing $83.5 million in collections
Summary
The Commission on Local Government unanimously approved its 2013 Cash Proffer Report, which found $83.5 million in proffer collections in FY2013 (a 37.4% increase from FY2012) and $51.4 million in expenditures; transportation and schools accounted for the largest shares.
The Commission on Local Government unanimously approved its 2013 Cash Proffer Report at a Nov. 19 meeting in Front Royal.
Local Government Policy Manager Zachary Robbins presented the draft survey results, saying 298 localities were eligible to collect cash proffers and 162 were required to report. After follow‑up requests staff achieved a 100% response rate among those required to report, he said. Thirty‑seven localities reported collecting cash proffers in FY2013, down from 38 the prior year.
Mr. Robbins said total collections in FY2013 were $83.5 million, a 37.4% increase over FY2012, while expenditures totaled $51.4 million, a 15.9% increase. He said 31% of proffer expenditures were used for transportation purposes and 30% for schools, and identified Loudoun County as showing the heaviest proffer activity, followed by Prince William, Fairfax and Chesterfield counties. Mr. Stirrup and Mr. Bannister participated in the discussion and the Commission voted to approve the report without amendment.
The Commission recorded the approval by motion: Mr. Bannister moved to approve the report; Mr. Goodson seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes do not record individual roll‑call votes beyond unanimous approval.
The Commission did not attach additional restrictions or amendments to the report during the meeting. The proffer survey and its approval provide the Commission and local governments with a current snapshot of cash proffer collections and spending priorities for FY2013.
