Office for Technology
The Enacted Budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget proposal (May 1, 2003):
• Reduces the General Fund nonpersonal services appropriation in the Office for Technology program by $1,600,000 which results in an $11.092 million decrease from last year’s nonpersonal services appropriation.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):
• An FTE level of 679, which represents a decrease of 54 positions (15 General Fund & 39 Internal Service Fund). However, the Office gained an unanticipated 96 FTEs during the most recent fiscal year (SFY 2002-03), largely reflecting transfers from the Office of General Services (OGS).
• Increasing appropriations by $48 million, or 20%. This increase is due to an increase of $81.9 million in the Internal Service Fund New York Intranet account. According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, this reflects a transfer of $85,697,000 from OGS and completes the transfer of the Division of Telecommunications from OGS to the Office for Technology.
• The increase for the New York Intranet is partially offset by a decrease of $17 million in the Internal Service Fund Entrepreneurial Technology account. There are also decreases in the OFT program’s personal service ($965,000), nonpersonal service ($9.4 million), and maintenance undistributed appropriations ($5.9 million). The maintenance undistributed cut is related to the Data Center Consolidation and is probably related to a reduction in scheduled COPS payments.
• Transferring the Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination Division from the OFT to the Office of Public Security in order to centralize oversight of the State’s security functions. According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, this involves the transfer/merger of 37 OFT staff to the Office of Public Security for a savings of $3,528,000. This accounts for 37 of the 39 FTE reductions in the Internal Service Fund.
