A final report from the Task Force is due by April 15, 2002. The Executive recommends a $300,000 General Fund Maintenance Undistributed appropriation to fund the Task Force and the hiring of 3 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. Greenway Heritage Conservancy of the Hudson River Valley The Executive proposes a $250,000 General Fund appropriation, a $20,000 increase from State Fiscal Year 2001-02.

The Division of the Budget (DOB) will develop an allocation plan for the transfer of this appropriation to any state agency, department or public authority for services and expenses incurred on behalf of the statewide gaming program. Statewide Wireless Network The Executive proposes a Special Revenue-Other deficiency appropriation of $5,214,000 in State Fiscal Year 2001-02. Emergency Homeland Security In light of the events and aftermath of the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center, the Governor issued an Executive Order on October 10, 2001 appointing a Director of Public Security. This position is responsible for the development and coordination of public security plans throughout the State, particularly with respect to anti-terrorism efforts. The Executive recommends a $200,000,000 All State Departments and Agencies-All Funds deficiency appropriation in State Fiscal Year 2001-02 for the Office of Public Security, with a full reappropriation of this line in the proposed SFY 2002-03 Budget. While the Office of Public Security is not presently slated by the Executive for establishment as a free-standing State entity, there are approximately 12 staff from State agencies assigned to the Office. Reimbursement of the involved agencies for costs associated with these staff as well as reimbursement to State agencies for increased security costs incurred since September 11th would be made from the $200,000,000 appropriation/reappropriation. In SFY 2001-02, such reimbursement is anticipated to total $38,500,000, with the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, the Department of Correctional Services, and the Division of State Police receiving the majority of the reimbursement funds. The level of disbursements from t he proposed $200,000,000 reappropriation in SFY 2002=03 has not been projected by the Executive because the public security plans being developed by the Office of Public Security are not yet complete. Therefore, the amount of State funding that the plans will entail is not known. World Trade Center On September 13, 2001, the Legislature acted in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center to provide appropriations to ensure that the State had sufficient authority to receive and disburse Federal funds related to the disaster. The initial Federal funds appropriation of $5,000,000,000 is reappropriated in the Executive's proposed SFY 2001-02 Budget. An additional $10,000,000,000 of Federal funds spending authority is being sought by the Executive in SFY 2001-02 through a deficiency appropriation. Of the Executive's anticipated total $15,000,000,000 of Federal funds appropriations related to the World Trade Center attack, $14,730,000,000 would be reappropriated within the Division of Military and Naval Affairs' SFY 2002-03 Budget. It is important to note that only Federal funds related to the World Trade Center that have been or will be both received and kept by the State are counted in the Executive's Financial Plan. Federal funds received by the State and then passed through to the City of New York or other entities are not reflected in the Executive's Financial Plan. The Executive recommends the reappropriation of $475,000,000 in SFY 2002-03 from the $500,000,000 All State Departments and Agencies - All Funds appropriation enacted on September 13, 2001.

Yonkers Settlement The Executive proposes a deficiency appropriation of $70,000,000 in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2001-02 for the City of Yonkers in accordance with the terms of the settlement to end the Educational Improvement Plan (EIP) I and II litigious costs related to desegregation activities of the Yonkers School District. The Executive maintains an appropriation in SFY 2002-03 for the City of Yonkers.
