The Enacted Budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget’s State Operations appropriations (analysis as of March 31, 2009).

 

The 30 day amendments propose no changes (analysis as of January 22, 2009):

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of December 23, 2008):

 

A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 31.  This is a decrease of 1 FTEs through attrition from the from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2009-10.

 

·          Personal Services increase of $100,000 or 3.6%.  However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation narrative for HESC shows a net $130,000 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.
