This appropriation of $10,745,200 for the State Controller includes an FY 1999 negative
supplemental, which removes $400,000 in billing funds that the State Controller has
identified as savings in the budget. This money is reverted to the General Fund.
Maintenance items include $393,000 for Replacement Items, an annualization of the State
Controller's pay increase, and 3% Change in Employee Compensation (CEC). There is one
enhancement funded in this budget. It provides $100,000 in one-time funds for the
Statewide Payroll program to clear up a backlog of projects that had been delayed due to
the staff's recent focus on the Year 2000 computer conversion project. This
appropriation also changes the way all of the State Controller's programs except the
Computer Center are funded. Rather than provide a mix of billing funds and General
Funds, the State Controller will receive a General Fund appropriation. Agencies will
then be billed for their share of the full cost of the State Controller's services.
These revenues will then be deposited in the General Fund as reimbursement to the General
Fund for the cost of the State Controller's appropriation. This will increase General
Fund revenues by an estimated $4,832,800. When this is compared to the increased costs
to the General Fund of this funding methodology, it results in net savings of $1,550,200
for the General Fund over the Governor's Recommendation, and a savings of $1,960,200 over
the Agency Request. This budget provides the standard $1,000 discretionary fund for
statewide elected officials. It also provides carryover spending authority for all fund
sources and programs. Any cash balances remaining in the State Controller's Accounting
and Payroll billing funds on July 1, 1999 will be swept into the General Fund, since
these funds will no longer be in use as of July 1st.
