Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

 

The enacted budget makes no changes to the State Operations portion of the Executive Budget for this agency (analysis as of April 4, 2005).

 

The 30 day amendments to the Executive Budget recommend the following changes (analysis as of February 14, 2005):

 

·          Reduces Personal Service spending in each Program, “to reflect a technical adjustment to personal service funding.”   General Fund appropriations in Personal Service decline $2.4  million (3.5%), in the following programs:

o       Administration, -$200,000

o       Historic Preservation -$213,000

o       Park Operations -$2 million

o       Recreation Services -$35,000

 

·          Reduces the Special Revenue-Other Patron Services Account in the Park Operations Program by $1.1 million in personal service and fringe benefits.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 26, 2005):

 

·        A projected FTE fill level of 1,566, which is an increase of 9 positions.  All of these positions are in the Park Operations Program (General Fund). 

·        An All Funds increase of $17,848,900 million or 10.8 percent.  Most of this increase is from the General Fund.

·        The Park Operations Program, the Office’s largest program, increases $16.7 million, or 11.7 percent.  Nonpersonal service with Park Operations more than doubles, from $3.7 million to $8.2 million.  Contractual services for this program more than doubles, with an increase of $2.6 million.  The purpose of this increase should be questioned in Labor/Management.

·        General Fund personal service appropriations increase by 9.0 percent in the Administration Program, by 5.8 percent in the Historic Preservation Program, 9.9 percent in the Park Operations Program, and 12.4 percent in the Recreation Services Program.  These increases are attributed to salary increases.

·        Special Revenue-Federal funds increase $983,900 (26.5%), attributed to a $1.2 million increase in federal funding availability due to new guidelines that expand eligibility for Marine and Recreational Vehicles Grants to include canal waterways and specific municipalities, offset by a $307,000 decrease in funding availability for Historic Preservation.

·        The Snowmobile Trail Development Account (Special Revenue – Other) increases $164,000 (18.3 percent), most of which is for suballocation to other departments and agencies.
