The enacted budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget; the Office’s SFY 2010-11 All Funds appropriation is a $36.1 million decrease from its SFY 2009-10 enacted budget All Funds appropriation (analysis as of June 23, 2010).

The Assembly Budget resolution makes no changes to the Executive Budget’s State Operations appropriations (analysis as of 3/24/10).

The Senate Resolution recommends the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of 3/22/10):

Rejects the Executive’s proposal to provide $99.1 million in re-appropriated spending authority for the construction of a State Data Center, in order to delay the construction until further information is provided regarding the new plans for such Center that involve partnerships with various institutes of higher education (public-private partnership proposal).

According to the Assembly Yellow Book, (analysis as of January 27, 2010):

According to the Assembly Yellow Book, the Executive Budget includes a decrease of $2.6 million to the Office for Technology Program Internal Service fund, this is attributed to fringe and indirect cost adjustments and collective bargaining savings. The collective bargaining savings, we assume is the CIO/OFT’s share of the $250 million in proposed union concessions.

According to the Senate Finance Committee, (analysis as of January 27, 2010):

The OFT budget includes additional funding of $2 million for debt service costs related to $10 million capital funding for retro-fitting a space located in Poughkeepsie for State agency disaster recovery needs.

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 23, 2010):

A SFY 2010-11 workforce of 673. This increases the level of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for SFY 2009-10 by 25, according to the Agency Presentation. However, the Workforce Impact Summary Report shows a SFY 2010-11 workforce of 668, an increase of 31 FTEs from SFY 2009-10, which is achieved through the attrition of 28 FTEs, offset by 59 new fills. This discrepancy should be addressed at statewide labor management. Also, the Agency Presentation for the Office of Homeland Security indicates that the interoperable communications program of the Office for Technology will be merged with OHS, 8 FTEs are attributed to this program in the OHS budget but no FTEs appear to be moved from OFT in either the Agency Presentation or the Workforce Impact Summary Report. This should be addressed at statewide labor management.

The following chart is based on the Agency Presentation and identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year’s FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2010-11 FTEs by program (if the FTE’s are the same the program is not listed):

Program	FY 2009-10 Adjustment	FY 2010-11 Est. FTEs 3/31/11	FY 2010-11 Difference
Statewide Technology Program	-36	5	-6
Technology	-65	668	+31
Total	-101	673	+25

The difference between the estimated FTEs for SFY 2009-10 and the adjusted level of 2009-10 FTEs is -101 FTEs. This should be addressed at statewide labor management.

An All Funds appropriation of $437.2 million, a decrease of $36.1 million (-7.6%) from the enacted appropriation for SFY 2009-10. This includes a $3 million (-5.7%) decrease in Personal Service and a $12.3 million (-3.8%) decrease in Contractual Services. Most of the All Funds decrease is in special revenue funds, with the largest reductions being from the Statewide Technology Program: -$35.2 million or -91.1%, of which -$2.9 million is a reduction in personal service and -$12.3 million is a reduction in contractual services from the program’s Statewide Public Safety Communications Account, SRO. The rest of the reduction reflects the discontinuation of the Statewide Wireless Network (SWN) project, and according to the Agency Presentation, the transfer of responsibility for implementation of interoperable communications to the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.

The CIO/OFT employed an estimated 190 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10 at a cost of $24.8 million. It is estimated that the number of consultant employees employed and the amount of funds disbursed will remain the same in SFY 2010-11.

According to the Agency Presentation the CIO/OFT plans to enter into a public-private partnership to develop a shared data center. This project will be a cooperative effort with institutions of higher education and private sector.

According to the Agency Presentation the CIO/OFT will retro-fit a leased facility in Poughkeepsie to serve the State’s disaster recovery and interim space needs, and is cultivating other interested customers.
