Council on the Arts

The enacted budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of 4/2/2007)

 

The Executive budget recommends (analysis as of February 3, 2007):

A FY 2007-08 workforce of 55.  This maintains the number of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2006-07. 

 

  • The total appropriation for Personal Service is $6.3 million, 1.9%. 

 

  • An All Funds decrease of $922,000 (9.4%) from SFY 2006-07.

 

  • An increase of $364,000 in the Administration Program’s Personal Service funding.  This increase does not reflect a change in the SFY 2007-08 FTEs.  According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee the Executive Budget also provides the following proposed increases in Personal/Nonpersonal service funding: $16,000, or 2.6%, increase in the Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation Program; and a $45,000, or 2.1%, increase in the New York State Theater Institute Corporation Program. 

 

  • A decrease of $983,000 (13.9%) in the Administration Program due to both the Council on the Arts Account (SRF), $993,000 allocated previously; and the Combined Gifts, Grants and Bequest Fund (SRO), $400,000 allocated previously, not receiving funding for SFY 2007-08.  However, the Council on the Arts account is now funded under the Aid to Localities appropriation.  According to the Senate Finance Committee the $400,000 decrease is due to the elimination of appropriation authority to accept private donations. 

 

  • The Council on the Arts did not employ consultant employees in SFY 2006-07 and that remains the same for SFY 2007-08.
