  • The total appropriation for Personal Service is $1.7 million, an increase of 13.2%.

 

  • An All Funds increase of $204,000, (+10.4%) from SFY 2006-07.

 

  • Four FTEs were added through federal funding to the Division during SFY 2006-07.  The Budget shows no federal funds to support these four positions so it is unclear how these positions are funded.  According to the Assembly they are funded under a sub-allocation from the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families fund. This issue should be clarified at statewide labor management.

 

  • The Executive Budget shows that the Division employed an estimated 1 employee under consultant contracts in SFY 2006-07 at an estimated cost of $69,750.  It is estimated that the number of employees employed under consultant contracts will remain the same in SFY 2007-08.  Interestingly, the consultant contract employee will be paid $79,750 in SFY 2007-08 a 14.3% increase over the cost in SFY 2006-07. The purpose and use of this contract employee and whether they can be replaced by state employees should be clarified at statewide labor management

 

  • The Executive Budget makes language changes to DPCA local assistance appropriations for the intensive supervision program ($5,996,000), alternatives to incarceration demonstration projects ($5,696,000), and probation eligible diversion programs ($1,140,000) which, according to the Senate, would distribute funding differently than was originally intended. The Executive also proposes Article VII legislation that would allow funding assistance to localities for intensive supervision of sex offenders to be distributed proportionally based upon the number of registered sex offenders under supervision.
