Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 27, 2004):
· A projected FTE fill level of 1,557, which is a decrease of 10 positions through attrition from the current level. All of these positions are found in the Park Operations Program (General Fund). However, the current FTE level is actually 41 FTEs above what was anticipated in the SFY2003-04 budget. This is due to an increase of 69 FTEs in the Park Operations Special Revenue-Other program which was partially offset by decreases in the following program areas: Historic Preservation - Special Revenue – Federal (-3), Park Operations – General Fund (-5), Special Revenue Funds – Federal (-1), and Capital Projects Funds –Other (-17).
· An All Funds increase of $1.2 million or 0.7%.
· Adding $2.1 million to the personal service appropriation in the Park Operations Program. This appears to be related to the loss of a $1.5 million maintenance undistributed that was added by the Legislature in SFY 2003-04 to support personal service expenses and costs associated with EPF related positions. The maintenance undistributed was necessary because the Legislature denied the Executive 03-04 proposal to shift funding for 18 FTEs to the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF).
· A $1.9 million increase in Special Revenue – Other appropriations to offset the elimination of $1.2 million in Fiduciary Funds as funding for Bayard Cutting, Miscellaneous Gifts, Planting Fields, and the Rockefeller Trust. These programs will now be supported by SRO funds rather than Fiduciary Funds.
· Increasing by $651,000 the Special Revenue-Other appropriation in the Park Operations Program’s I Love NY Water Account for services and expenses related to boating access and maintenance, which is funded by a new boating access surcharge fee. This appropriation can be transferred to the Office’s capital projects fund or aid to localities budget.
· Proposes Article 7 legislation to increase snowmobile registration fee to $45. The Executive projects $3.7 million in additional revenue from the fee increase. 22.2% of this fee will be deposited into the General Fund and the remainder into the Snowmobile Maintenance and Development Fund.
