The Executive Budget recommends (revised analysis as of January 22, 2009):

A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 717 FTEs. This is a decrease of 10 FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2008-09. During SFY 2008-09 DCJS did not fill or lost to attrition 11 FTE positions they were authorized to fill in the SFY 2008-09 Enacted Budget. The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year’s FTEs along with the recommended differences in SFY 2009-10 FTEs by program (if the FTE’s are the same the program is not listed):

  • The total appropriation for Personal Service is $36.8 million, a $1.98 million or 2.5% increase. However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation narrative for DCJS shows a net $1.09 million decrease in the personal service appropriation from the adjusted SFY 2008-09 agency appropriation. This reflects adjustments due to the Special Pay Bill containing negotiated union raises and agency-wide reductions made during the fiscal year.
  • An All Funds decrease of $1.815 million, (1.6%) from the enacted SFY 2008-09 appropriation. However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation narrative for DCJS shows a net $5.253 million decrease in the All Funds appropriation from the adjusted SFY 2008-09 agency appropriation. This reflects adjustments due to the Special Pay Bill containing negotiated union raises and agency-wide reductions made during the fiscal year.
  • A decrease of over $5 million in the Contractual Service appropriation, over $4 million of which is in the Operations and Systems program. The specific impact this cut would have on DCJS operation should be clarified at Statewide Labor Management. According to the Assembly and Senate these savings will come from information technology efficiencies including delaying the replacement of IT equipment, contract renegotiations, replacing consultants with state employees, and replacing a paper file operation with a digital archive, and increased control measures on all non-personal service costs.
  • Capital funding for the acquisition and development of a “modern replacement system” for the Statewide Automated Fingerprint Identification System is provided “elsewhere in the budget”. According to the Assembly and Senate the new system will be called the Statewide Automated Biometric Identification System and will be funded through bonds (debt service). We cannot locate which agency has the Capital funding or debt service for this program which should be clarified at Statewide Labor Management.
  • A $1.5 million (100%) increase in the Violence Against Women Account (Special Revenue Federal). The Senate and Assembly say the increase is due to anticipated increases in federal funding for this program. How this increase will be used should be clarified at Statewide Labor Management.
  • The Executive Budget shows that DCJS employed an estimated 160 FTE employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2008-09 at an estimated cost of $21.9 million or an average cost of $136,713 per consultant contract employee. It is estimated that the number of FTE employees employed under consultant contracts will stay the same in SFY 2009-10, at a cost of $18.9 million or an average annual cost of $117,969 per consultant contract employee. The purpose of these consultants and whether they can be replaced by state employees should be clarified at Statewide Labor Management.
  • Article VII legislation (S56/A156 Part F) would require applicants to be licensed as an insurance agent, broker, adjuster, consultant, or intermediary, to submit their fingerprints to the Division of Criminal Justice Services as part of a background check.
