This is the fiscal year 2000 appropriation for the Department of Commerce in the amount
of $24,982,300. Although the department is funded as a single program, it is comprised
of four divisions: Economic Development, Community Development, International Business
Development, and Tourism Development. The program maintenance area of this budget
includes $115,600 for Replacement Items, $300 for risk management charges, $3,800 for
increased State Controller fees, $69,500 for 3% Change in Employee Compensation (CEC),
and $133,500 to annualize the cost of the Governor's spaceport promotion position, and
the Governor's Washington D.C. Office and position. The total cost of the annualized
spaceport position in the FY 2000 budget is $119,500, which is funded from INEEL
Settlement funds. The position makes $82,180/year. The annualized FY 2000 cost of the
Washington D.C. Office and position is $126,300, which is funded by the General Fund.
The position, which has not yet been hired, has been budgeted to make up to $76,500/year,
and will work out of the Washington D.C. Office once an office space has been secured.
There are two enhancements funded in this budget. The first provides $50,000 in ongoing
General Fund money to contract for additional trade representation in South America and
Europe. These contract representatives will help Idaho exporters with making contacts in
foreign countries, setting up meetings, and represent Idaho and Idaho products at trade
shows. The last enhancement provides a $668,200 increase in spending authority for the
department's tourism promotion fund, which is a dedicated fund derived from the 2%
lodging tax. This will enable the department to spend down excess fund balances that
have accumulated over the last few years.
