Office of Victim Services
The enacted budget makes the following changes to the Executive Budget (analysis
as of March 27, 2012):
·
The enacted budget makes no
changes to the Executive Budget All Funds, state operations, appropriation
proposal of $10.3 million.
·
Rejects the broad Executive
Budget proposal to allow the Executive to have unlimited transfer and
interchange authority over all State Operations appropriations. Instead it
creates specific transfer and interchange authorization for State Operation
appropriations, for this agency they include: OGS/Back Office, Call Center, and
Information Technology. In general
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 Executive Budget
recommends (analysis as of January 20, 2012):
A SFY 2012-13 workforce of
78 FTEs, an increase of 3 FTEs from the level in the proposed 2011-12 Executive
Budget, in which OVS was part of the DCJS budget.
The adjusted FTE level for 2011-12 is at the same level as was proposed
for this agency.
The estimated workforce level for SFY 2012-13 is the result of the
attrition of 2 FTEs, being offset by 5 new fills.
The following chart
identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year FTEs along with the
recommended differences in FY 2012-13 FTEs by program:

·
An All Funds appropriation of $10.3 million, an
increase of $59,000 (+.6%) from SFY 2011-12.
·
The State Operations reduction reflects a reduction
in Federal grant support as well as a slight increase in personal service to
support the continued efforts of the agency to process victims claims in the
most expeditious and accurate manner possible.
·
The total appropriation for Personal Service is
$6.2 million, an increase of $68,000 (+1.1%) from SFY 2011-12.
·
It appears that the Victims and Witness Assistance
Program is once again being funded as a standalone program within this agency.
In prior fiscal years the funds and accounts within this program were
shifted to the Administration program and/or eliminated.
The total personal service appropriations within this program equal
$779,000; the agency’s FTE table did not indicate how many FTEs are allocated to
this program for SFY 2012-13.
·
The Office employed an estimated 2 employees (or 1
FTE) under consultant contracts in SFY 2011-12 at a cost of $90,000.
It is estimated that the same number of consultant employees will be
employed in SFY 2012-13 at a cost of $110,000.
The expenditures may include more than personal service costs and is
inconsistent with Office of State Comptroller data on consultant spending so it
is difficult to draw conclusions as to the cost per consultant employee.
·
No major Article VII proposals.
