The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis March 28, 2012):

·        Rejects the creation of the new Tenant Protection Unit, and reduces the funding of the Office of Rent Administration by $4.8 million.

 

·         Rejects the broad Executive Budget proposal to allow the Executive to have unlimited transfer and interchange authorization over all State Operations appropriations. Instead it creates specific transfer and interchange authorities for State Operation appropriations; for this agency they include: OGS/Back Office, Call Center and Information Technology.  This authorization allows the Executive to move appropriations between state agencies for these purposes. For additional detail please see page 5 of the Summary of the SFY 2012-13 Enacted Budget memo.

 

The Senate made the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis as of March 12, 2012)

·        The Senate denies the creation of a new Tenant Protection Unit, and reduces funding of the Office for Rent Administration by $4.795 million to reflect that rejection.

 

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 20, 2012):

A SFY 2012-13 workforce of 759, an increase of +14 FTEs over the adjusted 2011-2012 FTE level.  However the adjusted FTE level for 2011-12 is a decrease of (-12) FTEs from the level projected in last year’s budget. The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2011-12 FTEs by program:

·     The increase of 14 FTEs over the adjusted 2011-12 FTE level is due to additional staff needed to support the new Tenant Protection Unit in the Office of Rent Administration. The new unit will “proactively enforce landlord obligations and impose strict penalties for failure to comply with New York State’s rent laws”.

 

·     An All Funds appropriation of $97.69 million, an increase of $5.7 million, (+6.2%) over the SFY 2011-12 enacted budget’s All Funds appropriation. The total appropriation for personal service is $53.45 million, a $1.1 million, or 2.2%, increase over the SFY 2011-12 enacted budget’s personal services appropriation. The total appropriation for Contractual Services is $14 million, a $1 million or 7.8% increase over the SFY 2011-12 enacted budget’s contractual services appropriation.

 

·     The Department employed an estimated 21.1 FTE employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2011-12 at a cost of $435,000.  It is estimated that 19 FTE consultants will be employed in SFY 2012-13 at an estimated cost of $409,000.  

 

·     Article VII legislation: A9059/S6259 (Part J) authorizes additional credits of $8 million for low-income housing for each of the next five fiscal years.
