Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities
The Enacted Budget passed by the Legislature on May 1, 2003 makes the following changes to the Executive Budget:
· Adds $11,868,000 to fully restore funding for the Institute for Basic Research in developmental disabilities.
· Reduces the Central Coordination and Support Program by $2 million in nonpersonal services. DOB claims that this reduction will lead to an estimated 45 layoffs; there is no indication that any of this reduced appropriation is currently used to fund state employee positions.
· Does not restore funding for the Youth Opportunity Program.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 31, 2003):
· A net decrease of 13 FTEs , including 24 FTEs in SFY 2003-04. There are 194 FTE increases in the following programs: Central Coordination and Support Program (13 FTEs, 2 of which occur in SFY 2003-04); Community Services Program (79 FTEs, all in SFY 2003-04), and Institutional Services Program (102 FTEs, all in SFY 2003-04). These increases are offset by a reduction of 207 FTEs in the Research in Mental Retardation Program. Overall there will be 218 position abolitions in OMRDD. The estimated year end workforce is 22,245 FTEs on March 31, 2004.
· Closure of the Institute for Basic Research (IBR) for a savings of $11.8 million in operating savings ($10.5 million in Personal Service and $1.4 million in Nonpersonal Service) and over $12 million in capital cost avoidance.
· Elimination of the Youth Opportunity Program (YOP) for a savings of $1.3 million.
· Discharge of 130 consumers from institutional to community care.
· Development of 30 Local Intensive Treatment Unit beds.
· Development of 20 new Multiply Disabled Units beds.
· A $15.6 million increase in Personal Service in the Community Service Program; this reflects the 79 new FTEs for SFY 2003-04.
· A decrease of $4.2 million in Personal Service in the Institutional Service Program, which contradicts the increase of 102 FTEs in that program in SFY 2003-04. We will clarify this with OMRDD.
· The following changes in Aid to Localities:
- 1,900 new NYS CARES II beds, 600 new opportunities for in-home services, 370 new day services opportunities, and additional funding for family support services.
- A trend factor of 3.4% for Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) and most Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs.
- Annualizes the 2002-03 COLA for community-based programs, using savings from the closure of IBR.
