The Enacted Budget makes no changes to the State Operations portion of the Executive Budget proposal (May 1, 2003):
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):
· A projected FTE fill level of 557, which is a decrease of 11 positions, all in the Regulation of Utilities program supported by Special Revenue-Other funds. It is unclear what units will have these reductions, but according to the Division of the Budget, all reductions will be through attrition.
· The adjusted FTE workforce for 3/31/03 is 33 FTEs lower than the 3/31/03 FTE workforce that was estimated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. The lowered estimates are due to reductions in Administration (-4) and Regulation of Utilities (-29). All of these positions are supported by Special Revenue-Other funds.
· An All Funds reduction of $587,000, or 0.9%.
· Proposed legislation that would eliminate the Special Revenue Funds-Other in the Customer Owned Currency Operated Telephones (COCOTS) Account ($517,000) and would permit the redirection of these funds to the General Fund. The Legislation would also change the payment option for utility companies from four times per year to two times per year. It is estimated that this will provide $887,000 in General Fund relief in SFY 2003-04. DPS will not longer inspect COCOTS unless they receive a specific complaint; the inspection unit has already been eliminated.
