Department of Civil Service

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 29, 2004):

 

·          An FTE level of 575, which represents a decrease through attrition of 4 FTEs from the SFY 2003-04.  The decreases are all General Fund items and found in the following program areas:  Administration and Information (-1), Personnel Benefit Services (-1), and Personnel Management Services (-2).

·          An All Funds appropriation of $57.853 million, a $963,000 decrease from the enacted SFY2003-04 appropriation.

·          Proposes a $2.3 million increase in funding for Contractual Services for Administration and Information Management (a non personal service increase of $1.7 million) and Personnel Management Services (a non personal service increase of $517,000).  $1.4 million is related to costs associated with the relocation of the Department to the Alfred E. Smith Building in the summer of 2005.  We believe the balance may be related to contracting out for services.

·          The Executive proposes legislation necessary to clarify the authority of the Department of Civil Service regarding the administration of the Employee Health Insurance Fund and codify the Department's longstanding practice of accounting for health insurance program dividends and making payments from the Fund without appropriation authority.  This Fund was established in 1956 to account for payments in support of health insurance benefits provided to active and retired employees of the State and other employers. Although the appropriation for this Fund is in General State Charges, the Department is responsible for payment to insurers.
