Higher Education Services Corporation

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 700.  This maintains the number of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2006-07.

 

  • The total appropriation for Personal Service is $45.1 million, 2%.

 

  • An All Funds increase of $10.8 million, 9.7% from SFY 2006-07.

 

  • The HESC Premium Payments Account (SRO) increased by 21%, with most of those increases being related to contractual services.  The Nonpersonal Service funding for this account increased by $5.2 million, with 48% or $19.4 million of the total Nonpersonal Service funding allocated for Contractual Services.  Additionally, the Maintenance Undistributed funding within this account, $5 million, is for Contractual Services, specifically related to rental cost increases and potential moving expenses. The potential for relocation should be explained at statewide labor management.

 

  • The Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) employed an estimated 21 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2006-07 at an estimated cost of $8.03 million or an average cost of $382,581 per consultant contract employee.  It is estimated that the number of employees employed under consultant contracts will not change in SFY 2007-08.  However, in SFY 2007-08 the consultant contract employees will be paid $8.08 million in SFY 2007-08 or an average cost of $384,705 per consultant contract employee, a 1% increase over the average cost in SFY 2006-07.  The purpose and use of these contract employees and whether they can be replaced by state employees should be clarified at statewide labor management.
