Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS15078C1

This is a FY 2005 Supplemental Appropriation to Indirect Support Services Division and the Domestic Violence Council within the Department of Health and Welfare.

&nbsp

Fiscal Note

The Department of Health and Welfare proposed changing contract information technology staff to state employees in an effort to better manage the services and create cost savings in FY 2005 through FY 2007. In order to accomplish this change $53,700 of current operating expenditures were transferred to personnel costs and 20.00 FTP were added. These new positions will be transitioned beginning in FY 2005 and throughout FY 2006. In addition, the Division was provided with $53,800 of one-time training and transition costs for FY 2005 that will be removed in the FY 2006 Appropriation. The final action was to permanently remove $53,900 from operating expenditures. The net impact of this change in FY 2005 is a reduction of $100, with a savings of $118,900 in FY 2006, and a savings of $706,900 in FY 2007.

The Domestic Violence Council was provided with 1.00 FTP and an increase of dedicated and federal spending authority of $90,000 in personnel, $182,600 in operating expenditures, and $300,000 in trustee and benefits for a total ongoing increase of $572,600.

Section 5. of this bill increases the Department’s FTP cap by 49.00 FTP. This increase is for all of the Department’s supplemental appropriations:

20.00 Convert IT Contractors to State Staff – Indirect Support Services

25.00 Eligibility Workers in Division of Welfare

3.00 Substance Abuse Services – Access to Recovery Grant

1.00 Domestic Violence Council

49.00 TOTAL
