This appropriation of $11,954,500 for the State Controller includes the standard maintenance items of personnel cost rollups 
and 5% Change in Employee Compensation (CEC).  The budget includes $1,400 for a 2.6% inflationary adjustment for the
Administration sub-program unit.  The State Controller did not request an inflationary adjustment for other budget units.
There is also $412,800 provided for Replacement Items.  For some of these Replacement Items, the fiscal year 1999
appropriation represents only a portion of the total cost of the item purchased.  The State Controller plans to pay for
these items over three fiscal years.  As a result, the $412,800 appropriation for Replacement Items leaves an obligation of
$651,200 for future fiscal years.  There are four enhancements funded in this budget.  The first provides $100,000 in
one-time funding for bonus money to be paid to employees deemed to be critical to completing the Year 2000 project.  The
second provides $660,000 for the State Controller's Accounting & Payroll divisions to pay the State Controller's Computer
Center division to do the work of converting the STARS and Payroll programs to be compatible with "Year 2000" dates.  The
third provides $1,075,000 for the Computer Center.  Of that amount, $575,000 is one-time funding to make the fiscal year
1999 payment on the recent upgrade of the State Controller's mainframe computer, and $500,000 is ongoing funding to pay for
the increased software licensing costs associated with that mainframe upgrade.  The fourth enhancement provides $100,000 in
one-time money for an online payroll system pilot project.  According to estimates, a fully functioning online payroll
program would cost about $2 million.  This budget provides the standard $1,000 discretionary fund for statewide elected
officials.  It also provides carryover spending authority and lump sum appropriation for all fund sources and programs.
