Department of State
The enacted budget makes no changes to the State Operations portion of the Executive Budget for this agency (analysis as of April 1, 2005).
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 26, 2005):
- A FTE level of 853 positions, an overall increase of 6 FTEs from the revised estimate for 3/31/05 of 847. During 2004-05, however, the FTE level was expected to rise from 803 to 806. The extra 41 FTEs were throughout the Department: 13 in the Administration Program, 14 in Business & Licensing Services, one in the State Ethics Commission, and 13 in the Local Government and Community Services Program. The 6 FTEs added in SFY 2005-05 consist of 5 in Local Government and Community Services (General Fund), and 1 in the Tug Hill Commission (General Fund).
- Personal services funds in the Local Government and Community Services Program do not reflect an increase of FTEs. There is a reduction of $34,000 for personal services in the General Fund and a net increase of only $8,000 in Special Revenue other funds. This discrepancy should be raised at Labor/Management.
- An All Funds appropriation of $64,068,000, an increase of $4.9 million (8.2 percent). The additional spending is almost entirely within the Business & Licensing Services Program ($4.2 million, including a personal services increase of $1,153,000).
- Within non-General Fund programs, personal services increases are not commensurate with fringe benefit increases. The Watershed Partnership, for example, shows personal services decreasing from $119,000 to $109,000 while fringe benefits increase 35 percent from $40,000 to $54,000.
- A new $1.6 million capital projects appropriation to construct a live fire training simulator building and an arson investigation simulator building.
