| Statement of Purpose |
| RS17291C1 |
This is the fiscal year 2009 Appropriation to the Department of Water Resources in the amount of $24,599,500 of which $14,587,500 is from the General Fund, $7,049,900 is from dedicated funds, and $2,962,100 is from federal funds. Although, the bill shifts the remaining 14.5 positions from the Snake River Adjudication program to the Water Administration program, only 7.5 of these are funded with ongoing money. The bill transfers 18 full-time equivalent positions and about $3 million to the Governor’s Office for the Office on Energy Resources. It creates a new Aquifer Planning and Management Fund, transfers $20 million from the General Fund to the new fund, then adds three positions and appropriates $2,760,000 for comprehensive aquifer planning from the new fund. The final FTP cap is a reduction of 18 FTP because these three new positions are offset by the elimination of three other positions to provide money to increase the salaries of remaining employees.
