The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 20, 2000):

A reduction of 24 ASAFL positions in the Personnel Management Services General Fund and an increase of 16 ASAFL positions in the Personnel Management Services Internal Service Funds, for a net reduction of 8 ASAFL positions. The total DCS workforce would be 657 ASAFL positions. The GOER report shows a total full-time equivalent workforce of 664 positions with no reductions from SFY99-00. The net reduction of 8 positions will likely come from eliminating funded vacancies.

An overall increase of $14,867,300 in the State Operations portion of the DCS budget. $9,236,400 of this increase is in the internal service appropriation within the Administration and Information Management program. The total maintenance undistributed appropriation doe this program is $11,381,400 and will likely be used to "refine" the New York Electronic Personnel System (NYSTEP) and to begin development of the NEXTSTEP project. In addition to this appropriation, the $1,144,200 increase in the non-personal service appropriation for the Administration and Information Management program also appears to be related to NYSTEP refinements and NEXTSTEP development. The NEXTSTEP project will automate "several routine personnel management functions for those agencies that elect to participate in the project". We believe that most of the NYSTEP work is performed by an outside contractor. This is indicated by the fact that $5,404,900 of the $5,581,500 non-personal service appropriation for the Administration and Information Management program is allocated for contractual services and all but $100,000 of the increase in this appropriation is for contractual services.

The appropriations for the Personnel Management Services program indicate that 16 ASAFL positions would move from the General Fund to the internal service fund within the Personnel Management Services program. This is because the General Fund non-personal service appropriation is decreased by $1,217,900 and the internal service appropriation is increased by $4,115,000. It is unclear what the remaining increase in the internal service appropriation would be used for but it is probably related to the NEXTSTEP project.
