Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
The Executive Budget recommends a net decrease of (12) FTE’s. The FTE workforce will be 1,661 positions on March 31, 2002. The Executive Budget also recommends (analysis as of January 17, 2001):
The net decrease in FTEs is primarily due to a decrease of (11) FTEs from the Park Operations program (General Fund).
Transfers 18 Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act positions to the General Fund.
Allocates $1.5 million for operating costs of new and expanded parks.
Reduces General Fund by $1.5 million due to "managerial efficiencies" (achieved through streamlining of administrative oversight, business office and engineering services which will be pooled on a regional basis among park clusters) and increased fee revenues. The increased fees will :
raise $800,000 by increasing camping fees by $1 to $2 in the Adirondacks and Catskills;
raise $1million by increasing fees by between 1 and $10 for state campgrounds outside the Adirondacks and Catskills, higher fees will be paid for prime waterfront and oceanfront sites
