Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services
The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (June 22, 2010):
· Increases the All Funds appropriation by $297,000, an increase of $41.1 million from the SFY 2009-2010 All Funds enacted budget appropriation. This increase is in the Fire Prevention and Control Program, reflecting two Special Revenue Other Accounts (the Cigarette Fire Safety Account, $261,000, and the Fire Protection Account, $66,000) transferred from the Department of State.
· Amends the Article VII legislation authorizing the consolidation of the Office of Homeland Security, the State Emergency Management Office, the Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination, the State 911 Board, the interoperable communications program of the Office for Technology (OFT), and the Office of Fire Prevention and Control into the new Division by adding “transfer of function” language: which ensures all employees received their rights under Section 70.2 of the Civil Service Law.
The 21 day amendments recommend (analysis as of February 10, 2010):
· Adds a $30 million nonpersonal services appropriation to the Statewide Public Safety Communications Account in the Interoperable Communications Program for the purchase of emergency communications equipment for State agencies.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 27, 2010):
A SFY 2010-11 workforce of 397 FTEs, an increase of 221 FTEs from the FTE level for SFY 2009-10. This includes 229 positions associated with agency/program mergers and the attrition of 8 FTEs. The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services consolidates the Office of Homeland Security, the State Emergency Management Office, the Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination, the State 911 Board, the interoperable communications program of the Office for Technology (OFT), and the Office of Fire Prevention and Control into a new Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). The 229 merged FTEs appear to be from the following agencies: DMNA, 97 FTEs; Department of State, 124 FTEs; and OFT, 8 FTEs. Savings of $1.5 million are attributed to the merger.
The following inconsistencies regarding FTEs appear in various budget documents and analyses:
·
The Senate
Blue Book indicates that there will be 15 attritions in SFY 2010-11 while
the Workforce Impact Summary Report shows 8.
·
Interoperable
Communications: The Agency Presentation for the HSES 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 HSES budget but no FTEs
appear to be moved from OFT in either the Agency Presentation or the Workforce
Impact Summary Report. The Senate Blue Book also indicates that 8 FTEs
are merged from OFT.
·
Fire
Prevention and Control: The Workforce Impact Summary Report shows 116 FTEs
merging from DOS, the Agency Presentation for DOS and the Senate Blue Book
indicate the movement of 124 FTEs to HSES with the attrition of 8 FTEs. The
Agency Budget Presentation for HSES shows 104 FTEs for the estimated year end
FTEs for this program. The proposed Article VII legislation (S6606/A9706) states
that all employees of the Office of Fire Prevention and Control will be
transferred to DHSES.
These inconsistencies should be clarified at statewide labor management.
The following chart identifies adjustments in current fiscal year’s FTEs (where a merged program was not a standalone program in the original agency it was not possible to calculate this number), the estimated FTEs for 2010-11 and the recommended changes from the adjusted 2009-10 FTEs.

The new
Division will have its central office in Albany, a satellite office in New York
City, and five regional emergency management facilities throughout the State. In
addition, the State Preparedness Training Center located outside Oriskany (for
which $42 million in capital funding is proposed), New York, and the Academy of
Fire Science in Montour Falls, Schuyler County will serve as key training
facilities for first responders across the State
·
An All Funds
appropriation of$106.4 million, an increase of $10.8 million (11.3%) from SFY
2009-10. This includes a General Fund decrease of $10.59 million (-47%), offset
by an increase of $20.46 million in Special Revenue-Other (SRO) funds. The
SRO increases include $13.47 million for the Statewide Public Safety
Communications Act in the Administration Program (which the Assembly Yellow
Book attributes to support for the State Preparedness Training Center);
increases of $2.09 million in the Critical Infrastucture Account, $2.0 million
in the Cyber Upgrade Account and $4.0 million in the Statewide Public Safety
Communications Account in the Cyber Security Program; an increase of $1.5
million in the Statewide Public Safety Communications Account in the Emergency
Management Program; and an increase of $2 million in the Statewide Public Safely
Communications Account in the Interoperable Communications Program, offset by
the $4.6 million elimination of the New York Alert Account in the Emergency
Management Program.
·
A total
Personal Service appropriation of $19.42 million, a $1.9 million increase
(11.2%). This primarily reflects $4.47 million in new personal service funding
in the Statewide Public Safety Communications Account SRO in the Administration
and Interoperable Communications Programs, offset by a reduction of $1.8 million
in the Administration Program.
·
According to
the Senate Blue Book, the Executive proposes a total increase of $4.6
million in Special Revenue Fund spending for the Office of Cyber Security of
which $2.1 million is related to increases in critical infrastructure contracts;
$500,000 for increase detection services to State Agencies; and a $2 million
increase in Orthoimagery upgrades for New York City
·
The Executive Budget also includes $30 million for the purchase of emergency
communications equipment for the Division of State Police, Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation, and the Department of Environmental
Conservation.
·
According to
the Agency Presentation, HSES would offer grants totaling up to $50 million next
year to assist counties in developing communications networks and consolidating
dispatch centers. The grants would be funded from cellular surcharge revenues
that were formerly intended to finance the Statewide Wireless Network Project–
the same source that would provide support for a portion of the operations of
the new agency.
·
According to
the Senate, $204,000 in savings reflects collective bargaining agreements, which
we assume to be OHSES’ share of the $250 million in proposed union concessions.
·
An increase
of $346,000 in Contractual Services. Significant increases are associated with
the Statewide Public Safety Communications Account SRO in the Administration
Program ($1.8 million) Emergency Management Program ($950,000) offset by a
reduction of $1.36 million in the Emergency Management Program.
·
The Office of
Homeland Security employed an estimated 29 consultant contracts employees in SFY
2009-10 at an estimated cost of $3,074,236. It is estimated that the number of
employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2010-11 will increase to 34 at a
cost of $3,637,336, an average cost of $106,980 per consultant. The purpose and
use of these contract employees and whether they can be replaced by state
employees should be clarified at statewide labor management.
