Department of Law

 

The enacted budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget; the Department’s All Funds appropriation is reduced by $23.59 million from its SFY 2009-10 enacted budget All Funds appropriation (June 22, 2010).

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 26, 2010):

 

A SFY 2010-11 workforce of 1,747 FTEs, 100 FTEs less than the adjusted SFY 2009-10 workforce. This reflects the attrition of 122 FTEs offset by 22 new fills.  During SFY 2009-10 the Department lost 185 FTEs presumably through attrition.  The changes by program are as follows:

·         An All Funds appropriation of $210.02 million, a decrease of $23.6 million (-10.1%) from the enacted SFY 2009-10 All Funds appropriation.

 

·         A total Personal Service appropriation of $134.5 million, a decrease of $8.6 million (6%) from the enacted SFY 2009-10 personal service appropriation.

 

·         An overall department contractual service appropriation of $43.8 million, a $5.5 million decrease from the SFY 2009-10 appropriation.  $10.6 million of this decrease is in the Administration program and $4 million is in the Counsel for the State program. These decreases are offset by a $6.2 million increase in the contractual services Special Revenue Other appropriation within the Litigation Settlement SRO account in the Counsel for the State Program.

 

·         The Executive Budget shows that the Department of Law employed an estimated 163 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10, at an estimated cost of $9.8 million, for an average annual cost per consultant of $60,227. In SFY 2010-11 the Department will hire an estimated 62 consultants at a cost of $4.3 million for an average cost per consultant of $69,442. 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.
