Graham Chairman, Committee on Finance 31st Legislature of the U.S. Virgin Islands Capital Building, P.O. Box 1690 St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands 00804 Re: U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority’s FY 2017 Budget Submission Dear Senator Graham: I am pleased to submit the U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority’s (“USVIEDA” or “Authority”) Fiscal Year 2017 (“FY 2017”) budget request for consideration by the 31st Legislature’s Committee on Finance. The USVIEDA’s FY 2017 General Fund request is $4,998,515, which is an increase of $198,515 or 4% over the FY 2016 appropriation level. The Authority’s plan for FY2017 represents a rapid transformation in our approach to accomplishing the organization’s objectives. It compels us to think differently, and to challenge ourselves in providing higher levels of service that were not thought possible before. It also compels us to expend the Authority’s limited resources in areas that yield the greatest returns. We cannot continue to do business the same way and expect different results. It is with this level of exuberance and confidence that we present this budget. It reflects the belief that FY2017 will serve as the catalyst to spur an economic revolution. This means inducing changes in many aspects of our society and transcending the artificial boundaries of narrowly defined economic dimensions. These include recognizing the role of culture and entertainment, understanding the importance of delivering superior services, and being actively engaged in entrepreneurial activities for new and emerging businesses to name a few. The challenges that confront us today are no different from those of yesterday; the difference in our approach is that we have embarked on a path of scrutinizing every mechanism that has the potential to increase the living standards of our residents. This budget represents a new frontier, which will enable us to confront the future with renewed enthusiasm. We look forward to dialogue with you and the rest of your colleagues during the budget hearing process. Respectfully, Wayne Biggs, Jr. Acting Chief Executive Officer U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2016 Principal Officials Governing Board Board Member Position José A. Penn Chairman Philip Payne Vice Chairman Avery Lewis Secretary Haldane Davies, PhD. Member Juan Figueroa, Sr. Member Catherine Hendry, Esq. Member Simon B. Jones-Hendrickson, PhD.

Gerard, Director, Economic Development Commission, Compliance Unit Nadine Marchena Kean, Director, Enterprise Zone Commission Sharmane Brookes, Director, Economic Development Bank Mark Finch, Industrial Park Superintendent, Economic Development Park Corporation U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Mission Statement The U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (USVIEDA) is a semi-autonomous governmental agency responsible for the promotion and enhancement of economic development in the United States Virgin Islands. The USVIEDA strives to foster positive public/private sector partnerships for the enhancement of economic growth and development. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Scope and Overview The U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (“USVIEDA” or “Authority”) is a semi- autonomous governmental instrumentality responsible for the development, promotion and enhancement of the economy of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The USVIEDA is the umbrella organization which assumes, integrates, and unifies the functions of the following subsidiary entities: the Economic Development Bank (“EDB”), the Economic Development Commission (“EDC”), the Economic Development Park Corporation (“EDPC”), and the Enterprise Zone Commission (“EZC”). The USVIEDA operates under one Governing Board (“Board”) in order to achieve maximum efficiency of operation by avoiding duplication of services, positions, and responsibilities; to reduce expenses of personnel, physical plant and operations; and to develop comprehensive programs for the economic development of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The USVIEDA is a vehicle by which the U.S. Virgin Islands Government develops and nurtures the economic growth of the Territory. According to the legislation which governs the USVIEDA, the Authority shall be governed by a seven (7) member board. Of the seven (7) members, three (3) shall not be employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands or the Government of the United States and shall be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Legislature, for a term of three (3) years. Of the three (3) non-governmental employees, one must be a resident of St. Thomas, one must be a resident of St. John, and one must be a resident of St. Croix. Three (3) members shall be cabinet- level appointees. One (1) member shall be appointed from either the Board or executive staff of the Employees Retirement System of the Government of the Virgin Islands, Virgin Islands Port Authority, or the University of the Virgin Islands. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 USVIEDA Organizational Chart U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Accounting System and Financial Reporting Roles and Responsibilities The USVIEDA is a component unit of the U.S. Virgin Islands Government and follows enterprise fund accounting and reporting. The financial statements are presented in a manner similar to that of a private business, using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Management prepares a plethora of financial and statistical reports, including the Financial Statements with Supplementary Information (annual audit), and is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of management and financial reporting. Management prepares Reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America, applying certain estimates and judgments as required. The USVIEDA employs internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance of integrity and reliability of financial reporting and to safeguard, verify, and maintain accountability of assets. Such controls derive from established written policies and procedures and are implemented by trained, skilled personnel. The USVIEDA’s employment policy prescribes that all employees maintain the highest ethical standards and conduct business practices in a manner above reproach. The USVIEDA engages the services of outside auditors to perform an annual independent audit of its financial statements. The objective of an audit is to express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The USVIEDA’s Governing Board formulates the vision and fulfills its responsibility for oversight and administration of the Authority’s practices and governance through actions of the full Board as well as through its committees. The Board’s Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing the annual budgets, making recommendations, and advising the full Board on major financial issues and decisions. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 USVIEDA Direct and Indirect Cost Allocations The USVIEDA’s activities are classified into two broad categories – operational and administrative – and all expenses of the USVIEDA are attributed to both operational and administrative units, either as direct or indirect costs. An operational unit is a division with the responsibility of carrying out organizational mandates. The operational divisions include the Economic Development Bank (“EDB”), the Economic Development Commission (“EDC”), the Enterprise Zone Commission (“EZC”) and the Economic Development Park Corporation (“EDPC”). An administrative unit is a department that provides support to the operational units in fulfilling their mandates. The administrative departments include the USVIEDA Governing Board, Executive Office, Administration and Finance, Human Resources (“HR”), Legal, Marketing/Public Relations, and Economic Development Management (“EDM”). A direct cost is a cost that can be identified specifically with a unit and can be directly traced with relative ease and a high degree of accuracy. An indirect cost, on the other hand, is a cost that is incurred in common with other units and cannot be traced to any specific unit. Indirect costs, therefore, are distributed to both the operational and administrative units through an internal allocation process or indirect cost rate. All operating indirect costs are budgeted and expensed in the Economic Development Management department that is part of the administrative grouping. At the end of a period, the indirect costs accumulated in the EDM department are distributed to all operational and administrative units based on a pre-determined allocation rate. At the end of a fiscal period when all direct costs are posted and all indirect costs are allocated from the EDM department, each operational and administrative unit will be able to determine its total operating cost. The total direct and indirect costs for each administrative unit are considered indirect costs to the operational units and are allocated to the operational units using a pre-determined allocation method. By the end of this process, the total cost to operate each operational unit or division within the USVIEDA can be determined. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Goals, Objectives, Performance Measurement, and Performance Evaluation Goals, objectives, performance measurements, and performance evaluations establish the strategic framework for the USVIEDA’s operations. A goal is the end result to be accomplished and answers this question: “What is the purpose in the big picture?” For the USVIEDA, the purpose is the creation of good jobs to improve the standard of living for residents and the expansion of the tax base of the Government. Objectives are the action steps taken to carry out the big picture and serve as benchmarks to measure performance. Each objective has these four (4) fundamental characteristics.  Be measurable;  Identify a target of program activity;  Set a timeframe for completion; and  Provide an expected direction of change. Performance measurement is the ongoing monitoring and reporting on program accomplishments compared to the pre-established goals and objectives as outlined by each unit. We recognize that the development of performance measurements requires careful thought and planning and includes the following basic ingredients: objectivity, relevance, reliability, validity, and indicators of degrees of success. Performance Evaluations are critical, especially in periods of scarce resources, and provide a means of assessing how well a unit is performing. Evaluations answer key goal-related questions, such as: 1) Are stakeholders getting what they deserve? 2) Are taxpayers getting their money’s worth? 3) Are those we serve better off? 4) Can the service we provide be improved? The achievability of the USVIEDA’s goals and the fulfillment of objectives rest with supervisors and their subordinates, and the budget provides the financial resources to do so. The execution of performance measurement and evaluation functions in ensuring that scarce resources are used in the most efficient manner for the benefit of residents, is of utmost importance. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Budget Calendar and Processes The budget formulation process is designed to allow the USVIEDA to fulfill its mission by aligning goals, priorities, and objectives with financial resources and then evaluate actual achievements relative to anticipated outcomes. December – January The budget formulation process begins with the development of revenue and expenditure projections for the upcoming fiscal year. These projections are presented to the USVIEDA Governing Board’s Finance Committee with a comparison and analysis of past trends (i.e. appropriations, allotments, and expenditure levels) in addition to other financial data to justify and support the budget recommendation. During this period, the USVIEDA’s Governing Board outlines the priorities, goals and objectives of the Authority for the upcoming fiscal year. This forms the basis for the development of the budget and determines the final budget amount to be submitted to the Office of Management & Budget for consideration and inclusion in the Government of the Virgin Island’s annual operating budget submission to the Legislature. February The USVIEDA’s budget staff establishes budget ceilings for each division and department within the USVIEDA consistent with the priorities, goals, and objectives as outlined by the USVIEDA Governing Board. This information is communicated to each division or department head through a budget call that provides instructions and guidance for preparing the budget. The budget staff conducts budget orientation sessions with lead members of each division and department in order to provide an overview of the budgeting process and to address budgetary concerns. March – April The budget staff holds individual budget review discussions with all division and department heads to discuss areas of concerns, goals, and new initiatives, or programs the departments desire to implement for the upcoming fiscal year. At this meeting, each division or department has the opportunity to justify its needs before the Chief Executive Officer and Assistant Chief Executive Officer/Chief Operating Officer. After discussions, revisions may be made and the budget schedules are updated accordingly. The proposed budget is presented to the USVIEDA Governing Board for consideration and final approval before submission to the Legislature’s Post-Audit Division. April – June Communication is maintained with the Post-Audit Division in its analysis of the budget while the USVIEDA’s budget staff researches and gathers data and conducts round-table sessions with the internal department and division heads before preparing the first draft of the Chief Executive Officer’s budget presentation to the Finance Committee of the Legislature. U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority – Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Budget Calendar and Processes continued July – August The Chief Executive Officer, accompanied by the Assistant Chief Executive Officer/Chief Operating Officer, and the Director of Administration and Finance, defends the USVIEDA budget recommendation before the Finance Committee of the Legislature. October Once the budget is passed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor, the USVIEDA is legally authorized to request quarterly allotments from the Department of Finance through the Office of Management and Budget. Twelve (12) Months Monitoring (October – September) Actual revenues and expenditures are monitored throughout the year and are compared and analyzed against the budget to ensure that resources are managed in accordance with the budget plan and are consistent with the goals and objectives of the organization. On a quarterly basis, financial reports and analyses are presented to the Finance Committee of the USVIEDA’s Governing Board detailing the sources and uses of funds compared to the budget and comparing actual revenues and expenses with the same period in the previous fiscal year. When necessary, and on an ongoing basis, the budget staff offers recommendations for policy review to senior staff and management to improve overall financial integrity and efficiency.
