PREFACE
Georgia Act 1066 directs the Office of Planning and Budget to prepare and annually update the Biennial Development Program (BOP). The BOP's purpose is to guide State government operations in order that funded programs contribute to the State's physical, economic and social development. This Volume is intended to fulfill this legal requirement, to assist the legislature in making budget de cisions; to provide a management tool for program administrators and agency heads; and to facilitate comparative analysis and evaluation of programs. Act 1066 also provides that each program shall have objectives, alternative solutions and expenditure plans; and that there shall be a continuous review of programs to determine their consistency with long-range policies and goals. The objectives for each program were derived from the Goals for Georgia program, annually updated and revised as necessary, and have been coordinated with the State agencies. The alternative solutions which were developed by the agencies and reviewed and analyzed by the Office of Planning and Budget are included in the agencies' Zero-based budget submissions. The Act also provides that the Governor shall submit the State Development Program to the General Assem~ly at the same time that the Budget is submitted.
Volume II of the State Budget presents the programmatic display of the Budget. The seven Major Program Categories, the 42 State Programs and the 234 Activities include all budgeted functions of State Government. Current, requested, recommended and projected (5-year) expenditures are displayed, and program data are provided in brief, narrative form. The purpose of this State Development Program is to report the Governor's program budget recommendations for the fiscal year 1975 and agency projections of program costs for the ensuing five years. For the past eight months the Governor, The Department Heads and staffs, and the staff of the Office of Planning and Budget have been involved in analysis of governmental services to meet the needs of the citizens of the State.
The State Development Program's structure was modified last year to better reflect the reorganization of State Government approved in the 1972 Session of the General Assembly. The Major Program Categories of the Program Structure are:
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT HUMAN DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT GENERAL GOVERNMENT
The first part of this Volume contains a summary of the recommended expenditures for each major program category, and a graphic comparison is shown.
The second part of Volume II is divided into seven sections, one for each Major Program Category. At the beginning of each section, the Major Program Goal is stated, and the Major Program is assessed. Following the major program information is a summary of each program; the objective is stated; activities which make up the program are listed; the program financial summary and, if appropriate, a program assessment or description statement is presented. The expenditures and agency expenditure projections by fund source are displayed. The five-year expenditure projections for each activity were prepared by the respective agencies. These projections provide an estimate of the cost of operating State Government for the five succeeding years, based on the best data available at the time of preparation.
The evolution of a program-oriented budgeting process depends on strong inputs from a coordinated planning process: the establishment of development goals, policies, and program objectives; the identification and analysis of problems, needs and issues; the maintenance of relevant information for planning; the development of alternative solutions and strategies; and the monitoring and evaluation of program achievements. As the reorganized State Departments continue to improve their planning capabilities, and make this important function an integral part of the management and budgeting of State Programs, the increased visibility of cost/benefit relationships in programs and activities should result in a marked increase in the effectiveness of State Government.

ASSESSMENT: Georgia's public and non-public enrollment of 1.158 million students for FY 72-73 ranks 13th nationally and represents 96 percent of the school-age population. The number of public and
10
11
non-public schools increased from 1881 and 151 respectively for FY 69-70 to 1971 and 184 respectively in FY 72-73. Only 64 percent of the 1968 ninth-grade class graduated in 1972 in

1970 to 4 percent in 1972. The 9,337 failures in the first grade for 1971-72 represented 8.39 percent of total first-graders while only 1.66 percent of the 4th-7th grade students failed. If

development projects will be completed. Each year every school and school system is evaluated under the School Standards Program. In 1972-73 over 97 percent of the school systems were
12
13
classified as standard, an increase of 13.7 percent over 1971-72. However, this figure is somewhat deceptive in that a system can be classified as standard even though one or more of the
13
14
schools within that system are non-standard. In 1972-73, for example, there were 30 standard syst.;!ms in which 50 percent or more of its schools were non-standard. The 1550 standard
14
15
schools represented almost 87 percent of all public schools in 1972-73, increasing from 1344 or 75 percent in 1970-71.

ASSESSMENT:
Although this program is designed to increase involvement in visual and performing as well as literary arts, the current emphasis is on the library services, both public libraries and those within school systems. Georgia is fortunate that the number of volumes has increased at a rate of 123 percent, almost double the rate of population growth since 1962. The volumes per capita from 1962 to 1972 has increased from 1.01 to 1.4. Services for the blind and handicapped increased to 146,662; books and materials circulated to 11,095 in FY 72. The FY 72 figures were unimpressive compared to the 98,872 books and 3,300 participants of 1968. State efforts in the visual and performing acts are confined almost totally to the public school program. In 1970-71 about 16 percent of the secondary enrollment participated in music classes. An even smaller percentage participated in the visual arts. Five art experts estimate that over 3000 elementary fine arts specialists and over 1500 secondary teachers are needed across the state to provide an effective fine arts program in the schools.

ASSESSMENT: Two new junior colleges opened in the fall quarter 1973 bringing the total units in the University System to 31. Since 1964 eleven junior colleges were opened. However, the proportion
15
16
of the State's junior college enrollment relative to total college enrollment failed to grow as rapidly as the southern region and the nation. Enrollment per thousand population in University
16
17
System institutions increased from 9.1 percent in 1964 to 22.7 percent in 1972. However, the percentage of Georgia's college-age population (ages 18-21) actually enrolled is low; in 1970
17
18
it was 36.7 percent compared to a national average of 60.6 percent. Although a larger percentage of Georgia's total population will be enrolled in the University System in 1980, projections
18
19
for the seventies indicate that both absolute enrollment growth and the rate of growth will be less than in the sixties.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the opportunities for post secondary education of financially needy resident students and to produce an adequate supply of vitally needed trained personnel.

ASSESSMENT: The 1972 Governor's Committee on Student Financial Aid identified a total unmet need of $40 million. Despite an increase of $1 million in needs-based State programs and a simultaneous in-
10
11
crease in federal financial aid funds coming to Georgia, a large reservoir of unmet need remains. At the present a disproportionate share -58 percent -of State funds allocated for student
11
12
financial aid go into the Tuition Grants Program, which is not based on demonstrated financial need. A major goal of the State programs is to train personnel for those critical professions for
12
13
which there still exist unmet manpower deficits. However, these efforts insofar as achieving a greater geographical dispersion of medical doctors, for example, is only relatively successful. Of
13
14
the 358 practicing physicians trained under this program, only 47% are practicing medicine in approved communities. Sixty-five percent of those trained in allied health professions with state
14
15
financial assistance remain in health practice in approved areas.

OBJECTIVE:
To provide central control, guidance and support services for the Universities and Colleges of Georgia's University System.

15
ASSESSMENT: The rate of gain in student enrollment in Georgia's higher education institutions is beginning to decline. However, overall increases are expected to continue over the next few years, due to
15
16
stronger holding power of the public schools. Also, more professionals are continuing their education at advanced levels thus increasing the need for improved services. Current problems
16
17
and needs of society demand that universities and colleges participate more fully in solving these problems, and develop closer relationships among higher education institutions and between
17
18
higher education and the Public School System.

MAJOR PROGRAM EVALUATION:

Georgia's relatively small densely populated urban areas and large sparsely populated rural

16
a singular isolated need. The ultimate purpose of these activities is to assist Georgians in becom-
17
ing self-sustaining and contributing members of society.

Inadequate or totally absent health care and social services have contributed to the accele-
20 21

24
25
26 27
The concentration of health care professionals and ancillary personnel along with service facilities in urban areas has limited both the urban and rural poor's access to needed services.
25
Vocational Rehabilitation will continue emphasis on services to public offenders; acquisition

This limitation results from the location of the facilities and private offices in the more affluent

health care costs. These factors have, in turn, affected the mobility and the unemployability
31
of the poor.
32
Georgia's Income Maintenance Program will be substantially modified during 1974 as payments to the aged, blind, and disabled will be federalized. The number of children receiving

none of the problems mentioned above are new, the Department of Human Resources has re-

As a result of new federal regulations, Georgia's Medicaid Program will be expanded to cover an estimated 20,000 newly eligible persons. This financial assistance should significantly

OBJECTIVE: To foster a uniformly satisfactory state-of-health for Georgians through comprehensive area services and through surveillance and preventive measures.
13

14
ASSESSMENT: The expansion of the emergency medical services activity includes funding and technical assistanc'! for ambulance and equipment purchase, training and communications. Georgia now has 54
15
hospital-based radio systems and 21 hospital-based ambulance services. The local health program has also expanded to reach a greater number of people with a greater variety of services. In
16
1973, for example, DHR performed 447,800 screening examinations, 74,526 PAP smears, 205,000 dental orocedures and saw 69,374 family olanninq oatients. The utilization of Georgia's
17
hospitals has also increased despite rapid rises in per patient day costs (up 28.6 percent since 1970). There remains the problem of accesibility of hospitals as some 37 of the 179 general hos-
18
19
pitals are located in metropolitan Atlanta and, of course, a large number of the remainder are located in the other metro areas. A maldistribution of physicians and dentists also exists (i.e. of
19
20
the 4.425 physicians and 1,375 dentists in patient care over half are in Atlanta) and 32 counties have no resident dentist while 16 have no resident physician.

ASSESSMENT: The number of disabled persons that have been rehabilitated by this program has increased from 11,142 in FY 70 to 12,686 in FY 73. Persons served in State and community rehabilitation
15
16
facilities increased 4.9 percent during FY 73, from 12,784 in FY 72 to 13,412 in FY 73. Under a new alcohol and drug vocational rehabilitation program 68 drug users were trained for employ- 16
17
ment and 294 alcoholics were rehabilitated. Expanded VR services to the mentally ill resulted in 2,551 persons being readied for employment. In 1973, 2,252 disabled welfare recipients were
17
18
successfully rehabilitated, an increase of 285 over the previous year. These people are either working and have been removed from welfare rolls or their payments have been substantially reduced 18
19
as a result of their own earnings. The Cooperative School Program served 9,023 mentally retarded clients in FY 73, an increase of 494 over the previous year and the number of persons rehabili- 19
20
tated was 1,219 an increase of 151 over FY 72. Plans for the State assumption of responsibility for the Warm Springs Foundation should result in expanded services to severely handicapped
20
21
Georgians.

ASSESSMENT: On January 1, 1974, the Federal government will assume financial and administrative responsibility for the aid to the Aged, Blind, and Disabled programs. In 1972, 90,239 eligible recipients
10
11
received an average monthly payment of $54.96 approximately 75 percent of the average U.S. payment. The 3154 blind persons who received benefits in 1972 received an average monthly
11
12
payment of $74.60, a 17 percent increase over 1969. The 39,617 disabled persons who received benefits in 1972 received an average monthly payment of $64.04, 62 percent of the U.S.
12
13
average. Aid to Families with Dependent Children, which continues to be a State administered program, experienced a 70 percent roll increase from 1969 to 1972 with 336,678 children re-
13
14
ceiving an average monthly payment of $30.06 in 1972. Georgia's AFDC average payment ($153.00 per month to a poor family of four) represents 58 percent of the average U.S. payment.
14
15
In 1974 Georgia's Medicaid Program is to be expanded an additional 20,000 newly eligible persons due to changed Federal regulations.

MAJOR PROGRAM EVALUATION:

15 16 17 18 19
The primary purpose of a transportation system is to facilitate the movement of people and goods in order to allow individuals to pursue their social and economic objectives. In order to accomplish these objectives, the transportation system must provide mobility within three different zones: regional, national and international, sub-regional and local. The effectiveness
20 21
of the transportation system in meeting individual and societal needs should be judged in terms of how well it facilitates these movements. In addition to mobility goals, transportation pro-
22
grams should enhance the achievement of other common goals such as a maintenance of envi-
23
ronmental and community quality and the conservation of energy. Thus, transportation's
24
mobility goals may be in direct conflict with societal goals dealing with the maintenance of
15
The sub-regional transportation system is not adequate. While most of the State population
16
centers are connected with rail lines and thus can have rail freight service, there is virtually no rail
17
passenger service between these urban areas. Similarly, there is no limited-access highway system
18
tying together the State's major urban areas although many of them are connected to some degree
19
by the Interstate Highway System. The State is attempting to extend the limited-access highway
20

Local transportation systems must be divided into rural and urban because of the varying
23
densities, intensities of use, and modes of transportation which are applicable. Transportation in
24
25
environmental quality, the preservation of community amenities, and the conservation of energy.
26
27
The passenger segment of Georgia's transportation system is dominated by the private
28
automobile. While the automobile provides the ultimate in personal mobility for those posses-
29
sing cars, it has serious negative impacts on the community and the environment, and is an
30
extremely inefficient consumer of energy. Urban land use patterns have developed around the
31
private automobile. Thus, the post World War Two urban community is characterized by low
32
population densities and of wide geographical dispersion of public and private services. Conse-
33
quently, the movement by modes other than private automobile is extremely difficult. This
34 35 36
restriction of mobility has always been the case for that 25% of society, i.e. the old, handicapped, etc., which does not have use of a private automobile. In the face of severe shortages
:r1
of gasoline, the mobility of many other citizens may be reduced, since mass transportation
38
services are not adequate substitutes.
39
Historically, Atlanta has been a transportation hub for the Southeast. Presently, it has a
40 41
42
major regional airport, extensive rail service, and several Interstate Highways. The linkages between Atlanta and other major population centers are good. The exception to this general-
43
ization is in two areas. First, there is extremely limited rail passenger service. Second, the
44
incompleted segments of l-16restricts Georgia's ability to fully capitalize on its major deep
46
water port facilities at Savannah.
rural areas is, and will probably continue to be, dominated by the private automobile. The small,
25
highly dispersed nature of the rural population precludes the use of most forms of mass transporta-
26
tion. However, in a few cases special purpose mass transportation systems could, and should be
27
implemented to improve the mobility of individuals without private means of transportation. Tra-
28
ditionally, this type of service has been provided in order to provide individuals access
29
to specific social services. In general, the rural roads necessary to effect local movement patterns are adequate.
30 31 32
In urban areas transportation problems primarily center around the high volume corridor lead-
33
ing to the central business districts. These corridors are characterized by ever increasing congestion
34
and decreasing vehicle speeds. Generally, there is insufficient lane capacity in high density urban
36
corridors to accomodate the demand. Increasingly, it is becoming apparent that what is appropriate in low density areas may not be appropriate in high density areas. Whereas the private
38 :r1 38
automobile can service the commuter trip in smaller urban areas, but the demand in large urban
39
areas is too great to be met without causing irreparable damage to the remainder of the community.
40
Thus, it is necessary to refocus the transportation system on the problem of moving people rather
41
than moving vehicles. Unfortunately, current trust fund financing of transportation developments
42
(highways) results in extreme inflexibility in the capability of government to provide transportation
43
systems adapted to the needs of specific communities.

10
ASSESSMENT: As of December 1972, there were 99,143 miles of public roads in Georgia. This mileage is composed of 9,431 miles of local city streets, 71,620 miles of county roads, and 18,092 miles of
10
11
road in the State Highway System which consists of all State and Federal highways and the Interstate Highway System. As of April 1, 1973,882.2 miles or 76.6 percent of the Interstate
11
12
Highway System was open to traffic with an additional86.5 miles or 7.4 percent under construction. At the present rate of funding, Georgia's Interstate Highway System cannot be completed
12
13
before 1980. Generally the highway system in rural areas seems adequate for effecting local movement patterns. Due to congestion and the energy shortage, even with the completion of the
13
14
Interstate System, travel speeds on Interstate Highways are projected to decrease from 57.2 m.p.h. to 51.0 m.p.h. Vehicle speeds on the other systems are projected to change very little between 14
15
1972 and 1990. In the Atlanta Area, even if all planned highway projects are completed, vehicle speeds are projected to decrease from 49.0 m.p.h. in 1972 to 40.0 m.p.h. in 1990.

ASSESSMENT: The Georgia Ports Authority operates deep-water facilities at Savannah as well as a smaller facility at Brunswick and inland barge terminals at Columbus, Bainbridge, and Augusta. Cargoes
10
11
handled at Savannah increased from 1,986,289 tons in 1968 to 2,397,338 tons in 1972. Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport serves as a major regional airport for the Southeast with
11
12
10,368,000 enplanements and 477,400 flight operations in 1972. Other major Georgia airports providing air carrier service are Louis B. Wilson in Macon, Columbus Metropolitan Airport
12
13
and Bush Field in Augusta which totalled 411,700 enplanements and 279,030 flight operations in 1972. There are 135 open-to-the public airports whicfllink Georgia communities with
13
14
regional and national markets. Rail passenger service in Georgia is basically non-existent with minimal service provided by Southern Railway and Amtrack. In 1972, 14,000 cars carrying
14
15
35,000 passengers passed through the Atlanta terminal. Seven Georgia cities currently have mass transportation systems which are either maintaining or increasing patronage.

Four measures may be used to gauge the effectiveness of the Economic Development Program:
$407,422 to $634,392 in 1972. However, the rate of increase, as indicated by the percentage change, 16

has been fluctuating. On the other hand, between 1969 and 1971 the dollar value of livestock in

Changes in the quality of economic life of Georgians are indicated by comparing the indicators for
Georgia declined. However, in 1972 this trend reversed itself sharply, increasing by 11.88% over the

19711evel. It must be emphasized again, though, that changes in the total value of crops and livestock 19

were most likely due more to price and inflation factors than to changes in inflation.
20
21
22
23 24
25
As can be seen from the Table below, Georgia's population has been steadily increasing. Relative to the nation, Georgia's population is approaching the level achieved in 1950. However, the average annual rate of growth between 1970 and 1972 has fallen. Georgia's diminishing growth is probably reflective of a national trend toward a slower rate of population increase.
The absolute value of government payments declined during each of the years 1969, 1970 and 1971. In 1972 this trend was reversed and government payments increased by 27.03% over the 1971 level. However, the U.S. D. A. is not optimistic about government payments increasing in 1973 nor in 1974.

The labor-force participation rate (the proportion of civilian noninstitutional population in the

Gross State product has been consistently increasing in absolute amount as well as relative to gross national product. Also, the average annual rate of growth has been increasing steadily. As the Table indicates, between 1970 and 1972, the rate of growth was 10.06%. For the previous period the average growth rate was only 8.71%.

Agricultural production in Georgia, as indicated by its total dollar value, has increased steadily since 1969. However, the disproportionate percentage change which occurred between 1971 and 1972 was likely due more to price increases and inflation than to productivity increases. Moreover, the percent-

ASSESSMENT: Per capita personal income in Georgia has increased steadily in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the national average. The income gap, i.e. difference between the U.S. average and
10
11
Georgia, remained approximately constant through 1971. The gap widened from $557 in 1971 to $632 in 1972. Prior to 1972 the growth rate in per capita personal income in Georgia
11
12
exceeded the national growth rate; in 1972 it fell below. Both average hourly and average weekly earnings in Georgia have been consistently below those of the nation but approaching
12
13
parity. Average hourly earnings ($3.04 Georgia vs $3.65 U.S.) lagged average weekly earnings ($124 Georgia vs $136 U.S.) in 1972 as the typical employee in Georgia worked 3.6 hours
13
14
per week more than his national counterpart. Unemployment rates in Georgia are below the national rate and was 3.9 percent vs 5.6 percent in the U.S. in 1972. In 1972,54 percent of
14
15
the State's unemployment occurred in the five largest urban areas.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the economic viability of the underdeveloped areas of Georgia.

15
ASSESSMENT: Social and economic conditions vary widely in substate regions of Georgia. The primary thrust of this program is to improve those areas where unfavorable conditions prevail to at least
15
16
State norms. However, improvement in the economic viability of the severely depressed areas of Georgia is not easily attained. For example, thirteen percent of all housing in Georgia has
16
17
inadequate plumbing; however, in one Area Planning and Development Commission district the rate is 32 percent. Although the population growth rate is declining, the unemployment rate
17
18
for the State has increased to 3.9 percent and has risen to 5.6% in one APDC district. This factor coupled with Georgia's high proportion of poverty families and low median family income
18
19
require that there be optimum use of the State's resources in community development and improvement efforts. Despite this need, however, total planning dollars for FY 1974 declined
19
20
more than 15 percent, a decrease exceeding $100 thousand. Significant losses occurred in six APDC districts, three of which are in the most economically depressed area of Georgia--
20
21
The Coastal Plains Region.

ASSESSMENT: Georgia's unemployment rate in recent years has remained consistently below the U.S. average. In August, 1973, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.8 percent while the Georgia rate was 4.1
10
11
percent. However, Georgia does not compare favorably on key indicators. Georgia's labor force participation rate is approximately 60 percent which is 98.8 percent of the national rate. The
11
12
average duration of unemployment in Georgia is 13.6 weeks compared to the U.S. average of 9.2 weeks. Georgia is taking positive steps to develop its manpower potential. The Georgia De
12
13
partment of Labor provides a wide variety of services including job placement and counseling. Through the direction of the State Manpower Planning Council,local, state, and federal man
13
14
power programs (MOTA, EOA, EEA) served approximately 15,000 unemployed and underemployed persons in FY 73. In FY 74 the number of unemployed and underemployed persons
14
15
served is estimated to increase to 20,000.

ASSESSMENT: Although agriculture continues to decline as a fraction of total state income, the absolute income from the agricultural sector in Georgia continues to increase. A 12 percent increase in cash farm
10
11
income from $1,317,230,000 to $1,502,230,000 was recorded from 1971 to 1972. The individual farm income is also on the increase with a 23 percent increase in net income per farm from $5,719 11
12
in 1971 to $7,529 in 1972, reflecting the 12 percent increase in gross income per farm from $18,795 to $21,343. Consumer protection and information and education are served through the
12
13
Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin which has a circulation of 280,000, and radio spots on 95 radio stations in the state. For the first time, in 1972, peanuts exceeded commercial broilers
13
14
as percent of cash farm income with 15.2 percent of the total compared to broilers at 14.3 percent. Tobacco ranks second in crop income at 6.7 percent, cotton third at 3.8 percent and corn
14
15
at 3.8 percent.

ASSESSMENT: Increased employment of scientific and technical personnel in Georgia has been achieved mostly in the area of agricultural sciences. Although in other categories of technical skills, Georgia
10
11
still remains below the national ratio of such personnel to total population; Progress toward increasing employment in these skill areas has been achieved primarily by the development of
11
12
training documents, adult continuing education courses, provision of training for technical skills, and technical assistance to industrial development and research.

of justice and invasion of privacy.
There are three major efforts in the protection program. One is improvement in the efficiency of law enforcement and criminal justice systems. Another is improvement in relations between law enforcement officers and members of the community. This process of improvement includes training and upgrading peace officers, judicial reform, effective correction and rehabilitation programs and increased police community cooperation. The third area of effort is improved protection of the Georgia consumer. It includes prevention and remedy of unfair trade and credit practices; improved equalization of public services; and increased visibility of consumer abuses by public service institutions.
The Offender Rehabilitation program has been successful in reducing the recidivism rates for adult offenders. From the data available for F. Y. 72 and F. Y. 73 the annual rate averages less than 3 percent.
19 20 21 22
Law enforcement services increased in Georgia in 1972 over the previous year. The moderate
23
2 percent decrease in civilian employees was offset by an increase in law enforcement personnel.
24
Since 1970, criminal activity rates indicate a decrease for the Region and Nation while Georgia's
25
overall crime rate continues to rise although at a slower rate than during the 60's.
26
27
Georgia has instituted several programs to cope with its highway safety problem. Among the
28
29
Georgia's prison population has experienced substantial declines during the decade of the sixties.

In 12 years, the population in State institutions dropped by almost 1,600, a decrease of approxi-

31
The U.S. rates were 4.5, 4.7 and 27.2 respectfully.
32
33 34
The number of paroles granted between F. Y. 68 and F. Y. 71 remained fairly constant.
Georgia has a wide variety of consumer protection programs. The major areas are: finance,

fair trade, safety and occupational certification.

ASSESSMENT: The Office of the Comptroller General administers the Industrial Loan Act by inspecting, regulating, and licensing insurance companies in Georgia. Approximately 1000 licenses are issued each
10
11
year to insurance companies in the State~ The Department of Banking and Finance supervises 380 chartered banks, 163 credit unions and 5 building and loan associations. Consumer credit and
11
12
securities are also regulated by this agency. Rates for the public utilities and common carriers are controlled by the Public Service Commission. Fuel oil laboratory analysis and inspection of
12
13
tanks, public scales and volumetric measuring devices were conducted by the State Department of Agriculture. Fire safety inspections and mobile home construction regulations are functions
13
14
of the Comptroller General's Office. The Department of Agriculture inspected 276 meat processing plants and 760,830 animals in FY 73. Thirty-seven examining boards under the Secretary
14
15
of State certify professionals and non-professionals in diverse fields such as medicine and the construction trades to protect the public from fraudulent arid unscrupulous practitioners.

OBJECTIVE: Effective and responsive statewide direction and management of disaster prevention and recovery.
13
14
14
15
ASSESSMENT: In FY 73, 28 counties and 14 cities had civil defense organizations legally established. In FY 72 there were 44 packaged disaster hospitals throughout the State. A packaged disaster
15
16
hospital is a large group of boxes containing supplies and equipment necessary to set up and operate a 200 bed general, surgical hospital for thirty days. Georgia also has two natural
16
17
disaster hospitals (designed for use during a natural disaster such as a hurricane or a flood) located in Savannah. The development and maintenance of local emergency shelters, has
17
18
reached the point where there are spaces available for 5,247,670 persons, over 100 percent of the resident population of Georgia. The shelter spaces stocked in FY 73 (1,292,261)
18
19
could serve about 28.2 percent of Georgia's population, a decrease of 30.8 percent over FY 72. The decrease is due to deterioration, pilferage, normal expiration of shelf-life, and :to
19
20
a cessation of the Federal re-stocking program.

ASSESSMENT:
The Georgia National Guard is composed of 31 Air and 92 Army units. There are 12,500 Georgians who are members of the National Guard, an increase of 135 over the 1972 strength. In 1973 the Guard was called upon for assistance to communities which had suffered natural disasters: the metro Atlanta ice storm, 50 men; and 60 military policemen were utilized following the Athens and Conyers tornadoes. The Georgia Guard will undergo a series of organizational changes on December 1, 1973, gaining 278 manpower positions; but with no
alteration of the number of Air or Army units.

PROGRAM: Highway Safety
11

12
13
OBJECTIVE: To decrease deaths, injuries, and property damage caused by automotive accidents.
13
14
14
15
ASSESSMENT: Georgia's fatality rate from vehicle accidents is above the national norm. In 1972, in Georgia, 4.7 deaths occurred per every 100,000 miles driven, 6.3 deaths per 10,000 vehicles, 39.9
15
16
deaths per 100,000 population versus national figures of 4.5, 4.7, and 27 .2. Further, Georgia experienced an average daily increase of 730 vehicles and 825 drivers. The vehicle inspection
16
17
program has grown dramatically since its inception. In 1972, with a vehicle registration of 3,021,767 some 2,825,425 vehicles (93.5 percent of the total registrations) were inspected. Of
17
18
these, 1,104,348 or 39 percent failed. The main cause for failure (14 percent) was faulty headlights (402,204). Second highest cause was faulty brakes (136,167). Conjointly, 2,360
18
19
vehicle inspection stations were authorized in 1972. However, 213 were placed on probation and 121 suspended. Of those on probation and suspension, some 186 went out of business
19
20
and 111 were reinstated after showing compliance with the law.

PROGRAM: Crime Prevention and Control

OBJECTIVE:
To detect, deter, or prevent criminal acts throughout Georgia; to apprehend and prosecute persons responsible for criminal activities.
13
14
14
15
ASSESSMENT: The estimate of economic losses from serious crimes in Georgia in 1972 amounts to $1.16 billion. The average cost to society per serious crime is $9975 and Georgia recorded 116,500
15
16
serious crimes in 1972. The crime rate per 100,000 population declined slightly (-2.6 percent) for the U.S. in 1972, but increased 3.6 percent in Georgia. The breakdown shows t:,at the
16
17
violent crime rate increased 10.8 percent from 1971 to 1972 while the property crime rate increased 2.4 percent. An analysis by urban/rural divisions in Georgia shows that 3.1 percent
17
18
of the increase in the crime rate occurred in urban areas and 11.2 percent occurred in rural areas. The violent crime rate rose 16.2 percent in urban areas and dropped 3.5 percent in rural
18
19
areas; the property crime rate, however, increased only 1.2 percent in the urban areas and jumped 15.8 percent in rural areas. As virtually all of Georgia's population increase occurred in
19
20
areas classified as rural, these rapid increases in crime rates are highly significant.

ASSESSMENT: A major objective of Offender Rehabilitation is to achieve an anni'al 4 percent reduction of the recidivism rate for adult offenders (from 69 percent in FY 72 to 57 percent in FY 75). A
10
11
recidivist is defined as an offender reincarcerated for a felony within three years following discharge from the State prison system. During the12 months period 7-1-71 through 6-30-72,
11
12
192 of 6,631 released offenders returned to the prison system, a recidivism incidence of less than 3 percent. Since the greatest proportion of recidivism generally occurs between three and
12
13 14
six months following release and then declines sharply, this limited data indicates that the program is movi.g toward achievement of the objective.

chaplain service, basic education, vocational education, and work release including work education. Information for FY 71 and FY 72 indicate a consistent 60 percent successful dis-
17
18

15
16
three to five members. Board members acting under established eligibility laws release,under parole supervision, all inmates who the board determines will obey the laws of Georgia.
16
17
Releasees unable to successfully carry out the conditions of their release are promptly returned to the institution. In FY 1973 the number of paroles granted exceeded by 50 percent
17
18
the 1971 grants, from 1,419 to 2,176. The number released from parole during this period increased from 925 in FY 71 to 1,619 in FY 73. This represents a relative increase of
18
19
releases to beginning population from 60.7 percent to 65.6 percent. Parole revocations during this period increased slightly from 212 to 269. Revocations related to release indicates
19
20
a decrease in revocations of over 6 percent during this period.

The push to build a stronger economy and the accompanying growth in Georgia's population has
17
for many years taken a heavy toll on our State's resources and environment. What was generally not
18
recognized was that from an environmental standpoint, it is the rule that low-cost solutions to prob-
19
lems, in the long run, turn out to be high cost ones.
did not apply to land mined prior to January 1, 1969 and there are presently over 33,000 acres of unreclamated la~d for which there is no reclamation requirement. These lands presently serve no useful purpose, and are a constant source of pollution. Several possibilities exist for their reclamation, including recreation potential and possible sites for regional solid waste disposal.
16 17 18 19
20

23
This trend has been reversed in recent years by the positive conservation and preservation measures which have been implemented. Many of the most serious environmental problems of today cannot be solved short of a statewide approach.
24
A recent survey of Georgia's needs for municipal wastewater treatment facilities estimates the total
In addition to the foregoing pollution control activities, the State is very active in providing
21
outdoor recreation opportunities and in preserving essential parts of our heritage.
22
The Heritage Trust Program is actively identifying and evaluating sites for inclusion as Heritage
23 24
Trust Areas. A sum of $12.5 million dollars will be spent during F. Y. 1974 and over 400 sites
25
25
cost of such facilities to be in excess of one billion dollars. Thus, while industrial water pollution has

26
26
generally been brought under control, municipal and county water pollution will require intensive ef-
27
forts and extensive funds for many years.
28 29 30 31
Water and air quality controls have been initiated, but unsatisfactory and dangerous conditions often exist. About 8.6 cents per person served by public water supply was spent in F.Y. 1973 at the State level to protect public drinking water. Even so, it is estimated that some 35 percent of the public water
32 33
systems do not meet the various standards for quality drinking water. Moreover, some 75 percent of the systems maintained inadequate water quality tests.
34
While air pollution in Georgia is not as severe as that found in some other parts of the nation, local
35
problems do exist and others are potentially possible due to the State's meteorological characteristics
36
and the rapid growth in the number of pollution sources. Alternative solutions must be sought to the
"S1
current energy crisis which do not involve relaxation of the various pollution standards.
In the future, natural resources management will be required to assume a new role in order to 27
continue the progress of the past. In addition to continuing the vigorous enforcement of pollu-
28
tion abatement laws, it will be necessary to increase efforts in the areas of land and water manage- 29
ment and development controls, placing greater emphasis on the conservation of important and
30
threatened State resources. It will be necessary to develop concepts of long-term productivity
31
that will provide for both economic development and the conservation of vital natural resources. 32
Many pollution problems are directly related to prevailing patterns of land use and population
33
density. Through broad scale land-use planning and economic development design, it will be
34
possible to reduce pollution problems and conserve energy. Future land-use patterns will have to 35
be based on the suitability and availability of resources for development, and greater emphasis
36
will have to be placed on permanently preserving unique historical and natural areas.

Because virtually all mining in Georgia is done by surface mining, the State has been interested in land reclamation programs for several years. The Georgia Surface Mining Act became effective January 1, 1969. Since that time, some 16,320 acres at over 900 locations have been licensed and improper mining practices have for the most part been brought under control. However, the Act

OBJECTIVE: To insure the proper use of land, water, and air resources; to minimize the adverse effects of pollution; and to conserve, for use by future generations, the State's irreplaceable resources.

ASSESSMENT: The number of approved solid waste disposal sites has increased from 11 percent in FY 72 to about 25 percent at present, which serve over half of the State's population. Since 1969, some
10
11
16,300 acres of surface mined land have been placed in the land reclamation program. However, there are over 33,000 acres of land which were mined prior to enactment of the Surface
11
12
Mining Act and these remain as sources of pollution with no plans for their reclamation. The 25 million acres of woodland in the State received protection from the State mainly in the form
12
13
of surveillance and suppression of forest fires, and reforestation of "poorly stocked" woodlands. The over 500 municipal and county water supplies, as well as about 3200 other public water
13
14
systems and 221 industrial and recreational systems are kept under surveillance. Wastewater treatment is a vital part of pollution control, and all of the major industries with one exception,
14
15
discharging to state waters in 1973, are nearing completion of approved treatment systems. The Heritage Trust Program resulted in the purchase of 10-12 sites in FY 74.

ASSESSMENT: Increasing demand for outdoor recreation opportunities has accompanied the increasing population and affluence in Georgia. Presently, 3,527,503 acres,, r land (9.5 percent of the State) are
10
11
used for recreational purposes. The number of State parks (including Heritage Trust sites) increased by 7 in 1973. More than 9,100,000 people visited Georgia'" parks in 1972. Extensive game
11
12
management programs, carried on in 43 wildlife management areas and every county in the State, are expected to provide over 14,000,000 man-days of hunting in FY 74. Fisheries management 12
13
is anticipated to provide some 27,753,000 fishing trips in FY 75 to Georgia's streams, ponds, and reservoirs. Hatcheries are expected to produce some 5.5 million bream; 695,000 catfish;
13
14
1,200,000 bass; and 1,200,000 trout in FY 75.

and contracting options available to State government in the construction industry marketplace.
21
22 23 24 25
26
The first two priorities for improvement of programs in this category during F. Y. 75 are the responsiveness and the operating efficiency of service and support activities. These improvements have been planned and facilitated during F. Y. 7 4 and can be expected to continue during F. Y. 75 and beyond.
Whenever competing demands of many client agencies have exceeded the available supply of centralized printing, data processing and transportation services, there has been a need for authority to resolve and impose service priorities. Ways and means are currently under consideration to institute the needed authority.

also continuing to streamline work flow, consolidate and re-configure existing operating facilities and standardize procedures so that these service activities can realize more efficient economies of operating scale and minimize public investment in State government operations.
31
More optimal scales of auditing and enforcement compliance activities are currently under consideration as a means to increase gross collections consistent with present minimal costs of collections.

Time deposits of State revenues have yielded approximately $14 million in F. Y. 74 for a direct admin- 34

OBJECTIVE: To collect revenue and to insure compliance with Georgia Tax Laws.

ASSESSMENT: Major emphasis is on the improvement of the management and operational processes for servicing State tax programs and regulatory functions. A central auditing unit and a field audit service
10
11
have been established. These efforts will effectuate closer compliance with State Tax Laws. Legislation concerning administration of ad valorem taxation which was passed by the 1972 General 11
12
Assembly is being implemented. This legislation includes provisions for State supplements to local assessors' salaries, training programs, and assessment procedures, as well as minimum educa-
12
13
tional requirements for Tax Assessors. In addition, data processing equipment is being utilized to process ad valorem tax data. This step will facilitate the review of property classifications and
13
14
assessments which, in turn, will tend to make ad valorem taxation more equitable. Motor vehicle registration procedures are also being studied in order to make them more efficient. Costs of
14
15
tax collection in 1972 were 2.788 percent of total collections decreasing to 2.74 percent in 1973 indicating greater efficiency in tax administration.
