·         The total appropriation for Personal Service is $526.3 million, an increase of $82.985 million, or 15.8% from the enacted SFY 2010-11 Personal Service appropriation. However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation narrative for the Division shows a net $47.2 million decrease in the Personal Service appropriation (General Fund and other than General Fund) from the adjusted SFY 2010-11 Personal Service appropriation. This reflects adjustments due to the Special Pay Bill containing negotiated union raises and agency-wide reductions made during the fiscal year.

 

·         According to the Assembly, this also includes the continued implementation of a Workforce Reduction Plan, -$11,320,000; and anticipated concessions from collective bargaining units, -$9,889,000, which we assume reflects the Division’s share of the proposed $250 million in union concessions.  According to the Senate, the Executive reduces the General Fund by $11.3 million attributable to savings from the Executive’s reduction of the workforce associated with the delay of recruitment classes (164 FTEs) for a second year and other savings attributable to controlling staffing levels.

 

·         An All Funds increase of $61.1 million (9.3%) from the enacted SFY 2009-10 All Funds appropriation. However the Executive Budget Agency Presentation narrative for the Division shows a net $75.76 million decrease in the All Funds appropriation from the adjusted SFY 2009-10 agency appropriation.  This reflects adjustments due to the Special Pay Bill containing negotiated union raises and agency-wide reductions made during the fiscal year.  According to the Assembly this includes a $2,435,000 reduction in Federal support for the Internet Crimes Against Children Program, (-$700,000) and the National Institute of Justice DNA grant program (-$1,735,000), offset by the annualization of the Motor Vehicle Law Enforcement Assessment (MVLEA) fee, +$16,125,000. 

 

·         There also appear to be major decreases in the Seized Assets SRO accounts in the Criminal Investigation Program (-$4 million) and Technical Police Program (-$5.498 million).  According to the Senate, this reduction also includes $10.5 million associated with a continuation of the Deficit Reduction Plan (DRP) non-personal service reductions taken in SFY 2009-10 and $16.5 million in across the board reductions to non personal services.

 

·         A new $7.9 million maintenance undistributed appropriation in the Patrol Activities program, $6.8 million of which is for contractual services  According to the Assembly, this will fund the administration of an automated speed enforcement program in work zones and designated stretches of highways. These funds would support the purchase of software and equipment and would also support vendor costs. The utilization of speed enforcement cameras is expected to generate $25 million in SFY 2010-11 and $71 million each year thereafter.

 

·         A reduction of $4.96 million in contractual services, primarily reflecting a decrease of $1.0 million in the Patrol Activities Program, and $7.17 million in the Technical Police Program, offset by the Patrol Activities MU for automated speed enforcement.

 

·         The Executive Budget shows that the Division of State Police will employ an estimated 29 FTE employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2010-11 at a cost of $4.39 million, an average cost of $151,621 per consultant employee, unchanged from SFY 2009-10.  The number of consultants is not equated to full-time equivalents therefore their average cost is of minimal use. The purpose of these consultants and whether state employees can do their work should be clarified at statewide labor management.

 

·         Article VII legislation (S6606/A9706) Part H would establish a program for photo-monitoring enforcement of speed limits in work zones and designated stretches of highway. The owner of a vehicle found to be speeding would be required to pay $100 for violations of speed limits in work zones and $50 for violations of such limits along designated stretches of highway.
