State University of New York

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

An All Funds increase of $62.8 million.

Adds $22.8 million to the All State University Colleges and Schools Program, which includes: Research and Public Service (+$3.9 million); Infrastructure and Technology (+$10.1 million); Student Services and Financial Aid (+$8.8 million).

Increases the Student Aid Program’s Federal Department of Education Fund, SUNY Pell Program Account (SRF) by $40 million (this was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009).

The Senate analysis of the enacted budget states that $25.4 million was restored to the three SUNY Hospitals at Syracuse, Brooklyn, and Stony Brook. This funding is related to the state subsidy for fringe benefits and is available due to maximizing the use of disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments, which will generate $48 million for two years.

Rejects the Article VII language, which would have increased SUNY and CUNY’s existing flexibility in the areas of procurement and capital construction.

Adds Article VII language that would authorize incremental retention of revenues generated by tuition increases by SUNY campuses as follows: 20% in 2009-10; 30% in 2010-11; and 40% in 2011-12; and 50% in 2012-2013.

According to the 30-Day Amendments (analysis as of January 20, 2009):

The 30-day amendment changes reflect a $40.7 million increase in the All Funds appropriation, when compared to the original Executive Budget SFY 2009-10 proposal. This increase includes the following changes: a $10.3 million increase in the Dormitory Income Reimbursable account; a $23.7 million increase in the General Income Reimbursable account; and a $6.7 million increase in the Tuition Reimbursable account (this increase included a $1.7 million increase in personal services; and a $5 million increase in nonpersonal services).

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

The Executive Budget proposes a $40 million decrease of General Fund support due to the offset from the SUNY’s Income Fund Reimbursable account. This represents a replacement of General Fund support by increased funding from SUNY’s revenue generating accounts.

The Executive Budget proposes an $18.99 million increase for additional collective bargaining costs for SFY 2009-10 and a $14.1 million increase for personal and nonpersonal service inflationary costs.

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

A $75 million appropriation has been carved out from the University’s General Income Fund Reimbursable Account (IFR) positive operating cash flow, which would be used to protect against future faculty and staff layoffs. This new SUNY Supplemental Operating Account may have been created from IFR funds. The IFR is a depository for various revenue generating activities on all SUNY campuses, including student fees, parking fees, summer and international programs and others.

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of December 20, 2008):

A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 40,632. This maintains the level of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2008-09, according to the Agency Presentation. However, the Workforce Impact Summary Report indicates that there will be 40,609 FTEs in SFY 2009-10, which is 23 FTEs less than the level for FY 2008-09. That figure includes 28 attritions and 5 new fills. The Capital Projects Funds account also has 5 FTEs allocated for SFY 2009-10. The FTE discrepancy and the types of positions included in the Capital Projects Funds 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.

The total All Funds appropriation for SFY 2009-10 is $7.43 million, an increase of $470.2 million, a 6.8% increase from SFY 2008-09. However, the Agency Presentation indicates that the total All Funds appropriation is actually a $159.3 million net increase from the adjusted SFY 2008-09 All Funds appropriation. This discrepancy in the increase may be due to the Special Pay Bill, which contained negotiated union raises and also due to the agency-wide reductions made during the fiscal year.

The total appropriation for Personal Services is $906.15 million, a 10.9% increase from SFY 2008-09 (this figure is for the Hospital Income Reimbursable Programs only).

An All Funds increase of $429.5 million, a 6.2% increase from SFY 2008-09.

The following programs had a significant increase in personal service funding that is not associated with an increase in FTEs. These funding and position changes should be clarified with management.

1. Doctoral and Health Science Campus Account:

 SUNY Stony Brook (+$25 million or +10.2%).

 SUNY HSC Brooklyn (+$5.6 million or +7%).

 SUNY HSC Syracuse (+$5.2 million or +10.1%).

2. Hospital Income Reimbursable Account:

 Stony Brook (+$19.1 million or +5%).

 Brooklyn (+$36.7 million or +14.5%).

 Syracuse (+$32.95 million or +18%).

The State University of New York employed an estimated 1,359 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2008-09 at a cost of $58.95 million or an average cost of $43,379 per consultant contract employee. It is estimated that $58.5 million will be allocated for consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10 for 1,225 employees, at a cost of $47,700 per consultant contract employee.

The following programs had a substantial increase in the proposed contractual services appropriation when compared to SFY 2008-09:

1. Doctoral and Health Science Campus Account, SUNY HSC Brooklyn (+$1.08 million or +16.9%).

2. Hospital Income Reimbursable Account:

 Stony Brook (+$12.5 million or +8.5%).

 Brooklyn (+$9.8 million or +11.5%).

 Syracuse (+$11.9 million or +8.7%).

A SUNY Supplemental Operating Account is created with an appropriation of $75 million. This new account would cover additional services and expenses of State University operations to preserve full time faculty and other campus workforce positions.

A proposed $1.7 million appropriation in the All State University Colleges and Schools Program’s Infrastructure and Technology account is provided to expand SUNY Nursing Programs (+$700,000 from SFY 2008-09).

The Executive Budget Briefing Book indicated that $129 million is included in the budget for annual subsidy payments to SUNY’s hospitals at Brooklyn, Stony Brook and Syracuse. This reflects a $25 million reduction from the 2008-09 Academic Fiscal Year level (SFY 2009-10 Savings: $24 million; SFY 2010-11 Savings: $33 million). We believe this is related to the state subsidy for fringe benefits, this should be clarified at statewide labor-management.

The Executive Budget, according to the Budget Briefing Book, assumes that SUNY and CUNY will require their respective private, non-profit research foundations to pay an amount equivalent to 10 percent of their indirect cost recoveries on federal grants as partial reimbursement for using state-funded facilities (2009-10 Savings: $10 million; 2010-11 Savings: $10 million).

Article VII language proposes changes that will enhance SUNY and CUNY’s existing flexibility in the areas of procurement and capital construction. It permits:

1. SUNY and CUNY to purchase goods and services without prior approval by any state agency (contracts would remain subject to post-audit review by the Comptroller);

2. not-for-profit organizations affiliated with SUNY to participate in the centralized contracts maintained by the Office of General Services;

3. the broadening of SUNY’s authority as a health care provider to permit participation in joint ventures. Provides further contracting flexibility to SUNY’s health care facilities;

4. the use of any project delivery method, including but not limited to, design, bid, build, design/build, or construction manager at risk; and

5. the State University Construction Fund to establish guidelines for procurements that are consistent with the standards that apply to public authorities.

The Department of Health Article VII language proposes: shifting Health Care Reform Act (HCRA) Graduate Medical Education (GME) funds to the indigent care pool to support teaching hospitals serving uninsured patients; reduce unspent GME funding; and reduce public hospital recruitment and retention grant funding. It is unclear if any of these changes will have an impact on the overall financial status or staffing level of the SUNY hospitals.
