Department of Agriculture & Markets

The Executive Budget recommends a net increase of 31 FTE’s. The FTE workforce will be 595 positions on March 31, 2002. The Executive Budget also recommends (analysis as of January 17, 2001):

The increase in FTE's is due to the addition of 24 positions in the Consumer Food program (General Fund) and 18 positions in the Environment & Recreation program (Capital Projects Funds-Other). There will be a loss of (8) FTEs from the Clean Water/Clean Air program (Capital Projects-Other) and (3) from the Agricultural Business Services program (General Fund).

Recommends $1.4 million in new funding to implement legislation enacted in 00-01 requiring expanded inspections of retail food stores and the licensing and regulation of pet dealers throughout NYS.

Adds $19 million for a Special agricultural Inspecting and Marketing Account (Special Revenue-Other).
