The State University of New York
The budget passed by the Legislature (May 16, 2002) made the following changes to the Executive Budget:
· Added $25.1 million to SUNY’s overall funding. The largest portion of this was the $16.9 million added to the General Income Offset account which we believe reflects that SUNY will generate more of is own revenue than projected in the Executive Budget. There was also some smaller increases were for faculty in the All State University Colleges program and EOP in the Student Aid program.
· Added $2.4 million to the Long Island Veterans Home
· Added $500,000 to the All State University Colleges/Student services and Financial Assistance program for payment of tuition awards to recipients of the Maritime Appointments program at SUNY Maritime. This program provides funds for the Governor and Legislators to make appointments to the school providing a full scholarship to the appointees.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 28, 2002):
· A decrease of 450 FTEs in SFY 2002-03. According to the Division of Budget, none of these reductions are likely to occur at the SUNY hospitals.
· A cut of -$163,000 (0.1 percent) to Stony Brook’s personal service appropriation.
· Increases to Brooklyn’s $15.3 million (11.6 percent) and Syracuse’s $8.3 million (6.2 percent) personal services appropriations.
· Increases to all of the hospitals’ nonpersonal services appropriations: Stony Brook $10 million (6.1 percent), Brooklyn $1 million (1.2 percent), and Syracuse $19.4 million (16.3 percent). It is not clear from the budget bills how this money will be spent.
· Increases to the hospitals’ fringe benefit appropriations: Stony Brook $13 million (20 percent), Brooklyn $13.4 million (36.3 percent), and Syracuse $7.3 million (17.8 percent).
· An increase of $10 million (20 percent) in the Hospitals Special Revenue-Other Hospitals Reimbursable Account. It is not clear from the budget bills how this money will be spent.
· Increasing the flexibility of the hospitals’ operations. The language included the following:
- Expanding the authorization for payment of pay differentials to all SUNY direct care employees.
- Raising limits for contracts that can be authorized without prior approval outside the competitive process to $500,000 for consultant services, $2.5 million for goods, and $2.5 million for joint or group purchase consortia purchases.
- Authorizing the use of binding arbitration to resolve disputes regarding contracts between SUNY’s hospitals and clinics and other entities.
- Enhancing the operational oversight of the hospitals by establishing three thirteen-member local Boards of Directors to supervise the operations and affairs of the SUNY hospitals.
· Continues the “state subsidy” of $92 million. This is in recognition of costs associated with the SUNY hospitals’ state agency status.
· Making the second payment of $13 million as the State’s share of the multi-year effort to address the accumulated hospital deficit.
· The hospitals are also receiving a share of the HCRA II largess. This includes $17.8 million for recruitment and retention of non-supervisory direct care staff (this will be paid over three years) and $61 million in disproportionate share. There is also some belief that the hospitals will also receive $13 million as an inflationary adjustment which would bring the total to $92 million. We are checking these numbers and will update them as soon as we get new information.
