Department of Audit and Control

 

The enacted budget passed by the Legislature made the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of March 31, 2005):

 

 

The proposed Deficiency Budget recommends (analysis as of February 14, 2005):

 

·          $40 million in additional payments for NYC indigent legal services is appropriated in Aid to Localities but shows up in the summary table as State Operations.  This is probably a technical error.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 27, 2005):

 

·        An estimated 2,325 FTE positions on March 31, 2005, an increase of 54 FTEs all of which will occur in the State Services program.

 

·        An All-Funds appropriation for State Operations of $219.4 million, a 5.1% increase over the SFY2004-05 enacted appropriation.  Most of this increase is to cover collective bargaining salary increases and increased fringe benefit costs.

·        A $539,000 or 19.1 % increase in the personal service appropriation for the Legal Services program.  This increase seems high in light of the fact that there is no increase in FTEs for this program (remains at 34 FTEs).  This issue should be clarified at Labor-Management.

·        A $232,000 or 1288% increase in the non-personal service appropriation for the Legal Services program, about $230,000 of this increase is for contractual services. The enacted appropriation bill for SFY2004-05 shows only a $18,000 non-personal service appropriation for non-personal service in the Legal Services program.  However, the SFY2005-06 Executive Budget Appendix 1/Agency Presentations shows no change from the enacted SFY2004-05 non-personal service appropriation for this program and the proposed $250,000 appropriation for SFY2005-06 (see page 290).  It also shows no change in the $237,800 appropriation for contractual service within this program.  This indicates that an interchange of appropriations most likely occurred during SFY2004-05 from some other program in Audit and Control to the Legal Services program.  This issue should be clarified at Labor-Management particularly as relates to the purpose of the $237,500 appropriation for contractual services.

·        A $2,616,000 decrease (17.7%) in the non-personal service appropriation in the Payroll and Revenue Service program. The enacted appropriation bill for SFY2004-05 shows a $14,742,000 non-personal service appropriation in the Payroll and Revenue Service program.  However, the SFY2005-06 Executive Budget Appendix 1/Agency Presentations shows no change from the enacted SFY2004-05 non-personal service appropriation for this program and the proposed $12,126,000 appropriation for SFY2005-06 (see page 290). This indicates that an interchange of appropriations most likely occurred during SFY2004-05 from Payroll and Revenue Service program to another program or programs within Audit and Control. This issue should be clarified at Labor-Management.

·        A $2,015,000 (6.8%) increase in the personal service appropriation for the State Services program.  This increase appears too small to fund the proposed increase of 54 FTE positions in this program and the collective bargaining salary increases for SFY2005-06.  This could indicate that most of these new hires would occur at the end of SFY2005-06.  This issue should be clarified at Labor-Management.
