The Enacted budget passed by the Legislature on May 1, 2003 made no changes to the Executive Budget.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):

 

·        An FTE level of 401 positions, which represents a decrease of 7 positions from the Governor’s revised estimate of the 3/31/03 FTE level.  This revised estimate is a decrease of 33 positions from last year’s Executive Budget FTE estimate of 441.  The changes from last year’s estimate occurred in the Policy and Organizational Support Services General Fund (-45 FTEs); Policy and Organizational Support Special Revenue Other-Funds (+7); Regional Operations General Fund (-17 FTEs); and Regional Operations Special Revenue Funds-Other (+25 FTEs).  The School District Income Verification program was eliminated during SFY 2002-03, which resulted in the loss of 3 FTEs.  It is possible that this program was rolled into the Regional Operations program.  SFY 2003-04 changes are expected to occur in the Administration General Fund (-57 FTEs); Regional Operations program General Fund (-38 FTEs); and Special Revenue Funds-Other (+88 FTE).

·        The All Funds appropriation is decreased by only $669,400 (1.8 percent).  However, there was a shift in funding from the General Fund to Special Revenue Funds-Other.  General Funding decreased by $10.3 million (50.7 percent) while Special Revenue Funds-Other funding increased by $9.6 million (50.3 percent).  This SRO increase is the result of a proposed increase in the real property transfer filing fee from $25 to $50.

·        Decreasing the General Fund support in the Policy and Organization Support Services program by $5.6 million (60.2 percent) in personal services and by $1.6 million (61.5 percent) in nonpersonal services.

·        Decreasing the General Fund appropriation in the Regional Operations Program by $2.8 million (44.2 percent) in personal services and by $38,500 (43.4 percent) in nonpersonal services.

·        Increasing the Special Revenue Fund-Other in the Regional Operations Program by $6 million in personal services (134 percent), $2 million (41.6 percent) in nonpersonal services, $2.3 million (151.8 percent) in fringe benefits, and $194, 600 (106.1 percent) in Indirect Costs.  These increases offset some of the personal service and nonpersonal service reductions in the General Fund appropriation for the Policy and Organizational Support Services and Regional Operation Programs.

·        Eliminating $1 million Special Revenue Funds-Other Maintenance Undistributed appropriation in the Regional Operations program.  This was used for improvement of real property tax administration.

·        Eliminating the School District Income Verification program as a separate program item in the budget.  The Executive Budget narrative still maintains that the work is being done by the Office of Real Property Services.
