Budget Highlights

The Executive Chamber is the Office of the Governor and includes the immediate staff that assists him in developing Executive policies. The Executive Chamber is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive proposes All Funds appropriations of $13,831,500 to support the activities of the Office of the Governor and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The requested appropriation reflects a net reduction of $729,500, or 4.98 percent in funding from current State Fiscal Year 2003-04 funding levels.

The Governor proposes a General Fund appropriation of $13,366,000 for the Office of the Governor, reflecting a decrease of $705,000 or five percent from SFY 2003-04. The change is attributable to a reduction through attrition of seven Full-Time Equivilant positions (FTEs) from SFY 2003-04 and reduced spending in Non-Personal Service (NPS) associated with supplies, a reduction in staff travel, conference attendance, and other costs.

The Executive recommends an appropriation of $100,000 to fund the Special Revenue Fund-Other (SRO) Community Relations Account. This fund was reclassified on recommendations from the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which provides guidelines for establishing and improving standards of state and local government accounting, from a Fiduciary Expendable Trust Fund to an SRO. The appropriation is required to permit the use of private grants within the Office of Community Affairs.

A General Fund appropriation of $300,000 is provided for the activities of the Moreland Act Commission.

The Executive proposes a General Fund appropriation of $465,500 reflecting a $24,500 or five percent decrease from SFY 2003-04 for support of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The decrease is attributable to personal service savings associated with a reduction through attrition of one Full-Time Equivalent position (FTE).
