FISCAL YEAR 2004
WITH AMENDED FISCAL YEAR 2003
BUDGET IN BRIEF
Sonny Perdue GOVERNOR

June 2003
MY FELLOW CITIZENS:
The attached report details the finances of the State of Georgia as reflected in the Amended Fiscal Year (AFY) 2003 budget and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 budget that begins in July. The state has not been able to escape the economic downturn that has affected the nation. Like most of America, we have experienced our share of declining revenues. Georgia's leaders are now faced with the challenge of how we meet the human needs of our citizens. The choice becomes, do we simply make the cuts that tide us over until economic recovery begins, or do we make institutional changes to the way we treat the taxpayers' resources?
I sincerely believe we have a rare opportunity in our State's history to reform the budget process. Over the coming months, we will conduct a thorough examination of how we spend State revenues. Guiding principles will be established. Priorities will be set. Measurable results will be expected. We must return to an era of true results-based budgeting. Every year we will examine each agency or department's funding request in its entirety. We must exercise fiscal discipline. We must carry out a sustained series of performance audits to ensure that Georgians are receiving optimal value for their tax dollars.
The AFY 2003 and FY 2004 budgets are a beginning to this fiscal restraint and responsibility. Enhancements are minimal, but those that are included are in line with our core principles of an educated Georgia, a healthy Georgia, a safe Georgia, and a growing Georgia.
An educated Georgia is the cornerstone of economic development and our future quality of life. We cannot afford to shortchange the children of our State and those who seek higher education. Therefore, the reductions to the QBE formula for local schools are less than the reductions to most agencies. I am committed to working with the State Superintendent and local school systems in helping them address these reductions. In FY 2004, there is $191 million in additional formula earnings for enrollment growth and teacher salary increases based on training and experience changes. The FY 2004 budget includes $2.4 million for additional funds to provide the 10% salary supplement for the 806 teachers who achieved National Board Certification in 2003. This will bring the total of National Board Certified teachers in Georgia to 1,621. There is also $186 million in bonds for local school construction. For our youngest students, there is $243 million for Georgia's voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program. This program is a model for the nation, and with these funds, more than 3,340 classrooms throughout the State will be filled with eager four-year-olds.
Georgia currently enjoys a higher education system that exceeds national standards and is viewed by many as the rising model for excellence. In FY 2004, we will continue support of the HOPE Scholarship program by providing $377.7 million for tuition, mandatory fees, and a book allowance to eligible students enrolled in public and technical colleges. Additionally, $45 million is included for the HOPE Private College Scholarship Program. For FY 2004, lottery funds are reserved exclusively for the HOPE scholarship programs in the Student Finance Commission and for the Pre-Kindergarten Program in the Office of School Readiness.
Our most important resources are our young people and our families. What more important priority could we set than a safe Georgia for our children? The AFY 2003 budget includes $9.4 million to provide additional funds for Specialized Foster Care services. Our children's safety in foster care and emergency shelters must be ensured. To support the closure of the Fulton and DeKalb County emergency shelters for children and adolescents and to seek alternative placements and services for those housed there, the FY 2004 budget includes $4.9 million along with $2.9 million in the AFY 2003 budget.
Even in unsure economic times, we have an obligation to continue to provide health and human services to those amo ng us who are most vulnerable: our children. This is one area of our budget where neither, you, the citizens of Georgia, nor I, will tolerate

lip service or politics. My budget for FY 2004 includes $5.8 million to add 125 new Child Protective Services (CPS) positions. Also included is $9.9 million in additional state funds to convert to a Level of Care placement system for children currently in the CPS system. For children in foster care, I have provided $579,493 to double the annual clothing allowance for each child and another $825,000 to identify and recruit new foster and adoptive parents.
Georgia will continue to work toward the full implementation of the Olmstead decision of the United States Supreme Court. In order to provide additional services for the disabled, the FY 2004 includes $8.6 million to facilitate those moving from institutions to community-based settings. In addition, there will be $4.08 million for service expansions to accommodate persons waiting for community-based services. There are also a number of our citizens who live in nursing homes but are clinically able to live in the community. For those individuals who are transitioning to the community, there is $3.6 million to provide communitybased residential care for them.
We owe it to the families and the children of our State to create and maintain a safe Georgia. I will meet our correctional expansion needs to ensure the protection of our citizens. The FY 2004 budget includes $4.1 million to start-up and operate four correctional facilities: the Valdosta Diversion Center, the DeKalb Transitional Center, the Bleckley Parole Revocation Center, and the Appling Parole Revocation Center. Additionally, there is $2.65 million to increase State-funded operating assistance to county work camps and jails. While part of the mission of any correctional system is punitive, another part is rehabilitative. This is particularly true for our juvenile offenders. Thus, for those caregivers who provide services to our children in the juvenile justice system, the budget provides for $3.7 million to convert to a Level of Care Placement/Payment System. This system will pay uniform rates for therapeutic residential treatment based on the needs of the child.
A growing Georgia is a priority. We need to continue to help our rural communities attract businesses to their area and enhance existing efforts. In order to boost economic viability, I have included in the FY 2004 budget $3.15 million for the Jekyll Island Authority for the final phase of improvements to the historic district and to provide design funds for improvements to the convention center. To continue our training efforts for new and expanding businesses, the AFY 2003 budget includes $14.75 million in bonds for a new visual commu nications building at North Georgia Technical College.
Sustained economic development in every corner of our great State is essential for a growing Georgia. The FY 2004 budget includes $65.8 million in tobacco settlement proceeds for the OneGeorgia Authority. These monies will enable the Authority to continue grant and loan programs targeted at Georgia's most economically challenged counties.
We are all committed to a healthy Georgia. However, healthcare costs in Georgia and for state government continue to rise year after year, particularly in Medicaid. The FY 2004 recommendation for the State's portion of Medicaid is $1.6 billion. In recent years, we have experienced sharply escalating costs that drive up the State's investment. To assist us in covering these costs and to improve the health and life spans of Georgians, beginning in FY 2004, there will be an increase in the excise taxes on tobacco products. Research has proven that when the costs of tobacco products are raised, the health benefits are marked: fewer youths and adults start smoking; and many smokers elect to stop smoking altogether. The end results are a significant healthcare cost reduction in future years, and more importantly, healthier citizens.
Although we continue to face uncertain economic growth, I remain committed to ensuring that the level of service excellence provided to our citizens is not compromised. I will continue in my efforts to streamline State government, be more prudent in our spending efforts, and provide efficient and effective services.
I am committed to upholding this philosophy of good stewardship throughout my Administration.

SP:bp

Sincerely, [signed] Sonny Perdue

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE
The 1976 session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account an amount equal to not less than 3% nor more than 5% of net revenue collections (excludes Lottery Funds, Indigent Care Trust Funds and Tobacco Settlement Funds) as directed by the Governor as of the end of the fiscal year. Additional surplus above the reserve is available for appropriation. The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 12 years is presented below.

LOTTERY RESERVES

Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.

The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10% of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.

Funds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $69,167,200 on June 30, 2002.

The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account.

The scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over five years at a rate of 10 % a year until the reserve equals 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year.

Lottery surplus available at the end of FY 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended FY 1996 budget and left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2002 totaled $134,004,202.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2002 total as follows:

EDITOR'S NOTES
VETOES AND EXPENDITURE CONTROLS BY THE GOVERNOR
Vetoes HB 122 FY 2004 General Appropriations Act
Section 41, pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services, page 42, lines 1818 through 1820: This language was approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800-megahertz system. All communications equipment purchases are now under the direction of the Georgia Technology Authority and this language is inconsistent with general law, the Governor stated.
Section 49, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, pages 45, lines 1931 through 1939: Since FY 2000, state funds appropriated to the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources has been used to match federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to provide mass transit subsidies for state employees. The use of state funds for subsidies to individuals has required special authorizing language in each appropriation bill since the initiation of this program. Beginning in FY 2003, the Georgia Building Authority will continue the state employee mass transit subsidy program with non-state funds and this language will no longer be necessary, he stated.
Section 53, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 46, lines 1977 through 1981: This language authorizes the Department to transfer position counts between budget functions provided that the Department's total position count shall not exceed the maximum number of annual positions assigned by law. All executive branch agencies are legally authorized to amend their budgets and transfer positions between budget functions when the Office of Planning and Budget has approved a properly drawn amendment to the annual operating budget. In addition, the number of positions in each budget function is not specified in the Governor's budget recommendation to the General Assembly or in the annual Appropriations Act making this language unnecessary, he stated.
Section 53, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 46, lines 1986 through 1988: This language authorizes the Department to use available funding for right-of-way acquisition for a multi-lane road to connect the Atlanta Motor Speedway to Interstate 75 via State Road 20 and State Road 3. This project was funded in FY 2001. In addition, as a state route, this project is eligible for motor fuel funds and special language is not necessary, the Governor stated.
Section 62, pertaining to Federal Funds, page 49, lines 2088 through 2092: This language essentially provides a pool of federal money to be available only to supplant state funds. It prohibits an amendment of federal funds above the amount appropriated in the Appropriations Act for purposes other than to supplant state appropriations for the pertinent programs. This language limits the state's ability to accept additional federal funds as they become available throughout the fiscal year, he stated.
Section 63, pertaining to the General Obl igation Debt Sinking Fund, page 54, lines 2295 through 2301: This language essentially provides $348,000 in debt service funds for a principal bond amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for the Georgia Military College, which is attached to the Board of Regents for administrative purposes. This project was fully funded in FY 2002 ($13,430,000) and FY 2001 ($600,000) in accordance with the approved pre-design costs and scope. Any expansion of the scope of this project or increases in cost are the responsibility of the Georgia Military College, he stated.
Expenditure Controls HB 122 FY 2004 General Appropriations Act
Item a on page 20 of the Comparative Summary of HB 122, pertaining to the Department of Community Health: This item contains language, limiting enrollment in PeachCare for Kids so that FY 2004 expenditures do not exceed the FY 2004 appropriations provided for PeachCare benefits or administrative costs. Without a limit on enrollment, it would be necessary to appropriate additional funds to the department to accommodate the projected annualized cost of care for more program participants. The General Assembly disagreed with the Governor's recommendation to limit enrollment. However, because the General Assembly failed to appropriate the funds considered necessary for the department to meet its expected

financial obligations, I am directing the department to monitor enrollment and take actions necessary to ensure that expenditures do not exceed the FY 2004 appropriations for PeachCare, the Governor stated.
Vetoes HB 121 Amended FY 2003 General Appropriations Act
Section 41, pertaining to the Department of Administrative Services, page 42, lines 1820 through 1822: This language was approved in the 1996 session of the General Assembly to control the purchase of communications equipment that was not compatible with an 800-megahertz system. All communications equipment purchases are now under the direction of the Georgia Technology Authority, and this language is inconsistent with general law, the Governor stated.
Section 42, pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 42, lines 1832 to 1835: As part of the budget cuts to FY 1992, an Environmental Protection Division grant program that provided local governments with small loans for emergency water and sewer projects was eliminated. Later, this program was replaced with a state-funded loan program in the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA). This language was added to the appropriation bill at that time to highlight that a "loan" program was replacing a "grant" program. There has been no state funding for the GEFA emergency loan program since the end of FY 1999, and this language is no longer necessary, he stated.
Section 42 pertaining to the Department of Community Affairs, page 43, lines 1847 through 1848: This language authorizes the Department to provide a total of $70,034 in special support for the Southeast Georgia Regional Development Center from the Contracts object class. This special contract was established in the agency by the Fiscal Affairs subcommittee in June of 2001, and therefore this language is unnecessary, he stated.
Section 51, pertaining to the Department of Natural Resources, page 81, lines 3679 through 3687: From FY 2000 through FY 2002, state funds appropriated to the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources were used to match federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to provide mass transit subsidies for state employees. The use of state funds for subsidies to individuals required special authorizing language in each appropriation bill in which this program received funding. Beginning in FY 2003, the Georgia Building Authority continued the state employee mass transit subsidy program with non-state funds and this language was no longer necessary and was vetoed in HB 1002, the Governor stated.
Section 55, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 82, lines 3727 through 3731: This language authorizes the Department to transfer position counts between budget functions provided that the Department's total position count shall not exceed the maximum number of annual positions assigned by law. All executive branch agencies are legally authorized to amend their budgets and transfer positions between budget functions when the Office of Planning and Budget has approved a properly drawn amendment to the annual operating budget. In addition, the number of positions in each budget function is not specified in the Governor's budget recommendation to the General Assembly or in the annual Appropriations Act making this language unnecessary, he stated.
Section 55, pertaining to the Department of Transportation, page 82, lines 3736 through 3738: This language authorizes the Department to use available funding for right-of-way acquisition for a multi-lane road to connect the Atlanta Motor Speedway to Interstate 75 via State Road 20 and State Road 3. This project was funded in FY 2001. In addition, as a state route, this project is eligible for motor fuel funds and special language is not necessary, he stated.
Section 64, pertaining to Federal Funds, page 85, lines 3831 through 3835: This language essentially provides a pool of federal money to be available only to supplant state funds. It prohibits an amendment of federal funds above the amount appropriated in the Appropriations Act for purposes other than to supplant state appropriations for the pertinent programs. This language limits the state's ability to accept additional federal funds as they become available throughout the fiscal year, he stated.
Section 65, pertaining to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund for the Board of Regents, page 88, lines 3954 through 3960: This language essentially provides $421,950 in debt service funds for a principal bond amount not to exceed $4,850,000 for the Georgia Rural Economic Development and Technology Center at East Georgia College. An Economic

EDITOR'S NOTES
Development Technology Building is under construction at Swainsboro Technical College about two miles away. Both facilities have classrooms and computer labs and both colleges are offering Associate Degrees in Information Technology. In the current state fiscal situation, it is important to look for efficiencies and to have agencies work closely together on programs and delivery of services. A thorough evaluation should be undertaken to merge or mesh the two campus programs into one shared facility, the Governor stated.
Section 65, pertaining to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund for the Board of Regents, page 88, lines 3961 through 3967: This language essentially provides $87,000 in debt service funds for a principal bond amount of $1,000,000 for a campus entryway and related infrastructure for Atlanta Metropolitan College. The current main entrance is owned by Atlanta Technical College and is shared with them. In these difficult budget times, cosmetic focused projects that are not essential to the functioning of a campus should be deferred, he stated.
Section 65, pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 87, lines 3917 to 3922: As a part of the Department of Technical and Adult Education's budget request to the Governor, a list of capital outlay projects was provided. These projects were reviewed and approved by the board for consideration for funding during the 2003 session of the Georgia General Assembly. Although an Allied Health building for the Southwest Georgia Technical College was not included on the board's list, HB 121 includes $74,820 for $860,000 in 20-year bonds for this project. This project received funding in HB 121 while many board-approved projects did not, he stated.
Expenditure Controls HB 121 Amended FY 2003 General Appropriations Act
Item 4, page 14 of the Comparative Summary of HB 121, pertaining to the Department of Community Health: This item contains language, limiting enrollment in PeachCare for Kids so that FY 2003 expenditures do not exceed the FY 2003 appropriations provided for PeachCare benefits or administrative costs. This item also recognizes that a limit on enrollment would reduce the FY 2004 annualized cost of children enrolled in FY 2003. Without a cap on enrollment, it would be necessary to appropriate additional funds to the department to accommodate the projected annualized cost of care for more program participants. The General Assembly disagreed with the Governor's recommendation to limit enrollment. However, because the General Assembly failed to appropriate the funds considered necessary for the department to meet its expected financial obligations in FY 2004, I am directing the department to monitor enrollment and take actions necessary to ensure that expenditures do not exceed either the FY 2003 or FY 2004 appropriations for PeachCare, the Governor stated.
Section 65, pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 86, lines 3868 to 3873: The Department of Technical and Adult Education traditionally receives an appropriation for the replacement of obsolete equipment at its institutions throughout the state. In recent years, the annual funding level has been $12,500,000. In the 2002 session of the Georgia General Assembly, $7,500,000 was appropriated for this purpose. I recommended an annual funding level of $10,000,000 in the 2003 session. This represented an increase over the previous year's funding. HB 121 increases the funding level by an additional $4,200,000 to a total of $14,200,000. Although maintaining current training equipment at our technical institutions is a good use of state resources, this increase over the historical level of funding during a year of austerity reductions in state programs across the board seems excessive. Therefore, I will direct the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to withhold from sale that portion of these bonds that exceed the austerity level of funding for obsolete equipment included in my budget report, he stated.
Section 65, pertaining to the State of Georgia General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund, page 88, lines 3948 to 3953: As a part of the Department of Technical and Adult Education's budget request to the Governor, a list of capital outlay projects was provided. These projects were reviewed and approved by the board for consideration for funding during the 2003 session of the Georgia General Assembly. HB 121 includes $156,600 for $1,800,000 in 20-year bonds for renovations to recently acquired buildings at Columbus Technical College. There are at least 20 unfunded projects on the Department's consolidated priority capital outlay list ahead of this project, he stated.

EDITOR'S NOTES
In these difficult budget times, it is important to focus on the serious infrastructure issues that affect campus operations and classrooms, labs or library facilities that impact instruction or accreditation. Less important projects such as landscaping, campus entrances and project elements that could wait until design is complete should be deferred. Therefore, I am instructing the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to defer funding on the following Board of Regents bond projects or portions of projects:
1. $2,500,000 of the $5,000,000 Southern Polytechnic State University project on page 64, item 16 of the Comparative Summary of HB 121 that is for campus entrance changes with appropriate road and utility realignment and landscaping. The portion of the project ($2,500,000) that is for lab expansion and renovation for the engineering technology programs should proceed; and
2. $400,000 of the $700,000 Georgia Southwestern State University project on page 65, item 21 of the Comparative Summary of HB 121 that is for renovation of historic Wheatly Hall Administration Building for repairs and the removal of two additions needed to make the building conform to its original configuration. The portion of the project ($300,000) that relates to pre-design and design should proceed. Since the hall is a functioning administration building, any repairs needed in the interim to keep the building functioning should be funded from the Regents' additional MRR (Major Repair and Rehabilitation) bonds added to HB 121, the Governor stated.
