Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services
The Executive Budget recommends a decrease of 7 FTE’s, all in the Executive Direction Program. The FTE workforce will be 1,001 positions on March 31, 2002. The Executive Budget also recommends (analysis as of January 19, 2001):
The reduction of 7 positions reflects the final phase of restructuring of central oversight functions. No staffing reductions are made in the Addiction Treatment Centers (ATCs).
An increase of $1.3 million in the Executive Direction program Special Revenue-Federal appropriation. This is mostly attributable to a $1.1 million increase in personal services within that appropriation. This represents a 50 percent increase in the personal services appropriation. While there is no apparent reason for such a large increase in this appropriation it may be that the state is using the federal money to pay for the contractual increases.
An increase of $1.2 million in the Institutional Services program nonpersonal services appropriation. There is no information provided in the Executive Budget explaining this increase.
Funding for 100 beds offering specialized treatment to adolescents and women with children is being reappropriated this year.
The Executive Budget Appendix I shows an actual decrease in funding for personal services in the Institutional Services program of (-$334,000). This would seem insufficient to cover negotiated salary increases and to maintain staffing levels. This should be raised through the Labor/Management process.
