The enacted budget makes the following changes to the
Executive Budget (analysis as of 3/3/09):
- Rejects the Article VII proposal for a $25 probation registration fee.
According to the Senate White Book, (analysis as of December 31,
2008):
The Executive Budget includes adjustments to the SFY 2008-09
enacted budget appropriations to reflect an increase of $136,000 related
to collective bargaining agreements in General Fund State Operating
funding, and $300,000 is included for the shift of four Full Time
Equivalent positions to State Operations funding for the 200 percent
Poverty Program. It is unclear which account these 4 FTEs were funded
out of, prior to this shift.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of December 29, 2008):
A FY 2000-10 workforce of 35. This is the same as adjusted FTE level
for FY 2008-09. During SFY 2008-09 2 FTEs that were authorized in the
enacted SFY 2008-09 budget were not filled or will be lost to attrition.

The total appropriation for Personal Service is $2.5
million, an increase of 23.2%. However the Executive Budget Agency
Presentation narrative for the Division shows a much smaller increase of
$35,000 in the Personal Service appropriation from the adjusted SFY
2008-9 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 increase of $335,000 (+12.5%) from SFY 2008-09.
However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation shows a decrease of
$101,000 from the adjusted SFY 2008-09 appropriation, reflecting the
Special Pay Bill and agency-wide reductions.
Contractual services are reduced by $141,000 (-26.3%) in the
Community Corrections Program. According to the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee this reduction includes reduced funding for the Correctional
Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions, an offender
supervision tool.
- The Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives does
not report employing any employees under consultant contracts in SFY
2008-09, however estimated disbursements for SFY 2008-09 total $142,130
and are estimated at $62,650 for SFY 2009-10. The purpose of these
disbursements should be addressed at statewide labor-management.
Article VII legislation (S56/A156 Part O) would credit
probation sentences for time served under interim supervision and
implement a one-time $25 probation registration fee with the revenue to
be retained by local probation departments. This would generate
approximately $1 million in revenue each year to support their costs.
This new revenue stream and the interim probation credit, which would
reduce probation officers’ caseloads, would help to offset the six
percent reduction to county probation departments that is recommended as
part of the SFY 2009-10 Executive Budget.
