The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of 3/30/09):

 

 

According to the Assembly Yellow Book, (analysis as of December 31, 2008):

  • The Executive Budget proposal provides a net increase of $1.4 million for the reallocation of staff costs to Internal Service funds (ISF).
    •

    According to the Senate White Book, (analysis as of December 31, 2008):

  • Article VII language will make technical changes to the State’s wireless surcharge. Among those technical changes is one that provides an exemption from the surcharge to the State, its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions.

    • The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of December 21, 2008):

    A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 749.  This maintains the level of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2008-09.  The Workforce Impact Summary Report shows that the level of FTEs remains unchanged, but it indicates that there will be 702 FTEs. This difference should be addressed at statewide labor management.

  • There is no difference between the estimated FTEs for SFY 2008-09 and the adjusted level of 2008-09 FTEs.
  • An All Funds increase of $90.1 million (+24.7%) from SFY 2008-09. Included in this increase is a $9.2 million increase (+7.6%) in the Office for Technology Program’s State Data Center Internal Service Fund (ISF) account (of which, according to the Agency Presentation, $6.4 million is to support annual lease and utility costs associated with retro-fitting a facility outside of the Capital Region to serve the State’s disaster recovery needs); and a $75 million increase (+149.8%) for the Centralized Technology Services, ISF account to expand Enterprise contracting and service opportunities. The Agency Presentation indicates that it is an $84.9 million increase from SFY 2008-09, this difference in the amount of the increase may be due to the negotiated union raises and agency wide reductions made during the fiscal year.
    • Office for Technology Program:

    Centralized Technology Services Account, ISF (+$1.3 million or +2,136%).

    OFT NYT Account, ISF (+$1.2 million or +18.5%).

    State Data Center Account, ISF (+$2.1 million or +10.8%).
  • The CIO/OFT employed an estimated 201 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2008-09 at a cost of $26.1 million or an average cost of $129,845 per consultant contract employee.  It is estimated that the same amount will be allocated for consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10, but for 199 employees, at a cost of $131,500 per consultant contract employee. The purpose and use of these contract employees and whether they can be replaced by state employees should be clarified at statewide labor management.
    •  Office for Technology Program, General Fund (+$2.7 million or +28.2%), and other fund subaccounts of this program:

    Centralized Technology Services Account, ISF (+$73.1 million or +146.2%).

    State Data Center Account, ISF (+$6.4 million or +10.1%).
  • According to the Executive Budget Agency Presentation there is an $11 million Capital funding reappropriation to renovate existing state-owned office space, which is needed to accommodate projected agency demand for additional data center space, while construction on the new consolidated data center is ongoing. Additionally, there is a $99.1 million Capital Projects reappropriation for the construction of the new Consolidated Data center at a “single, efficient primary site.”
