Office of Children and Family Services

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 17, 2001):

An FTE level of 4,534, which represents an increase of 57 FTEs. Specific program changes include an additional 80 FTEs in Child Care, an additional 18 FTEs in Systems Support, an additional 6 FTEs in Family and Children Services and a reduction of (47) FTEs in Youth Facilities.
An increase of $6.9 million in the Administration Program Special Revenue-Other appropriation from the OCFS Program Account. No details were provided as to what this money is for.
A reduction of ($1 million) in the Administration Program Maintenance Undistributed appropriation for the Human Service Application Services Center (HSASC).
An increase of $4 million in the Child Care program Special Revenue-Federal appropriation from the federal Day Care account.
A reduction of ($8.5 million) in the Departmental Administrative Reimbursement program for administering federal programs.
An increase of $6,983,000 in the Systems Support program nonpersonal services appropriation. No details are available as to what this money will be used for.
A decrease of ($5.7 million) in the Systems Support program Maintenance Undistributed appropriation for the CONNECTIONS program.
A reduction of ($2,376,300) in the Systems Support program personal services appropriation even though the Executive Budget shows an increase of 18 positions. We believe this is due to the fact that Systems Support is down (46) positions from last years Executive Budget recommendation. These positions, we believe, were moved to either the Office for Technology or the HSASC. This movement would have reduced the amount of money needed to support the office and the net impact of hiring more staff would still be a reduction in the appropriated amount. This is speculation on our part and you should verify this scenario with your management.
A decrease of ($36 million) in the Training and Development program due to the elimination of federal funding for state operations.
An increase of $10,153,000 in the Training and Development program Special Revenue-Other appropriation from the Multiagency Training Contract Account.
A reduction of ($300,000) from the Youth Facilities program Special Revenue-Other appropriation from the DFY Energy Efficient Rebate Account for energy conservation and efficiency projects.
The (47) FTE reduction in the Youth Facilities program will be accomplished by:
Changing the teacher ratio from 1:14 to 1:16
Closing two units at Harlem Valley
Eliminating 15 funded vacancies
Closing all of state operated group homes and,
Transferring the most serious offenders to DOCS at age 16
