Our fiscal situation has changed dramatically since then which I think can be attributed to the good stewardship we have demonstrated in investing the state's fiscal resources. Our record will attest to this. One of the records that I am most proud of is the one involving money we did not spend, deciding to return it to our citizens in the form of tax reductions. The income tax relief that I am proposing for 1998 will increase the amount of taxes eliminated to almost $900 million during my eight years in office. That is an unprecedented achievement that no other Administration in Georgia's history can even closely match. The new tax cut, one of five over the last eight years, will increase the personal and dependent exemptions on the income tax to $2,700 and to $1,300 for those over 65 to match the federal exemption rate. This tax cut will mean an annual savings of $168 a year for an average family of four, a 15 percent tax cut. More than 5.2 million Georgia taxpayers and dependents will enjoy the benefits if this proposal is approved by the General Assembly. This tax cut - second largest in Georgia's history - will cost $205 million in the Fiscal Year 1999 budget, and these funds have been set aside from revenue projections. Even so, the 1999 state fund budget will increase by $756,860,000 over the existing budget now in effect for Fiscal Year 1998. Coincidentally, the last of four stages in the largest tax cut in Georgia's history will take effect October 1 ofthis budget. Thus, we will be implementing parts ofthe two largest tax cuts for Georgia taxpayers at the same time, and will still have adequate resources for new expenditures to deal with the needs of our state. Education has been my single highest program priority. We have accomplished much in education through an increase in state general funds as well as the extra spending that has been possible through voter approval of the Georgia Lottery. My Fiscal Year 1999 lottery proposals call for spending $530 million in lottery funds for education. Since 1994 the amount of lottery receipts that have been invested in the education of our children totals $3,013,000,000. We will be reaping the benefits of this money for years. I am recommending a 6 percent teacher pay raise in Fiscal Year 1999 for the fourth straight , year, increasing to 24 percent the amount of teacher raises we have funded during my second term. These raises have surged our teachers past the Southern average. And the Southern Regional Education Board projects that we could pass the national average in the 1999-2000 school year. Enrollment continues to increase in all of our educational systems. We have had in place for some time the provision of additional facilities needed to handle our public school and technical institute enrollment growth, but I did not believe we were doing enough for higher education. I began to change that situation in recent years. The allocation of$185,120,000 in bonds for Regents in the 1999 budget will bring the total to $1,023,074,090 in capital outlay spending on college facilities during my Administration, the largest portion coming in my second term. Guaranteeing the health of our children is an important consideration if Georgia is to substantially improve the lives of all citizens as we approach the 21 5t century. I am taking a major step towards this goal by recommending funding and legislation that will provide access to health care coverage to more than 228,000 children in Georgia who now have no health insurance protection. The total cost of this program will be $78 million -- $20 million in state funds and $58 million in federal funds - but I believe this is a cost that will more than pay for itself in many different ways. The health insurance program has three components: Expanded Medicaid coverage for pregnant women and 24,000 children from birth to age 5 up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Private health insurance costing only $7.50 a month for 88,000 children, to be administered by the State Merit System. Private health insurance at significantly reduced rates for 166,000 children above 200 percent of poverty. I have mentioned here just a few of the initiatives that I feel are important to the people of Georgia. These and other initiatives are discussed more fully in the Budget Highlights section that follows and in the various department sections of this document. They represent a strong affirmation that we have supported programs for the benefit of our people and to improve their lives. I came into office with a belief that this is the role of government, and I have not once wavered from that belief. My budget recommendations stand as proof of that fact. F.Y. 1999 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS APPROPRIATIONS AND REVENUES Appropriations totaling $12,528,603,880 are recommended for expenditure by state agencies in F.Y. 1999, which begins on July 1, 1998 and ends on June 30, 1999. The appropriations would be funded from the following sources: --$11,849,775,000 from taxes and fees as estimated by the Governor, an increase of $731,150,000, or 6.6% over the F.Y. 1998 budget of $11,118,625,000. --$530 million from lottery proceeds. --$148,828,880 from the Indigent Care Trost Fund. TAX CUTS $205 million to cut state income taxes for more than 5.2 million Georgians. The action, as proposed by the Governor, will raise the income tax personal exemption for both taxpayers and dependents to $2,700 each beginning January 1, 1998. The current exemption is $1,500 for taxpayers and $2,500 for dependents. The tax cut will provide annual savings of $168 a year for an average family offour, a 15 percent tax cut. In addition, the plan raises the deductions for senior citizens from $700 to $1,300, benefiting more than 300,000 senior citizens. While this tax cut-the second largest in Georgia's history-is being put into effect, the state will be implementing the fourth and final year of the elimination of the state's 4 cents sales tax on groceries, starting on October 1, 1998. The fiscal impact will be $129,000,000 in F.Y. 1999 and $44,000,000 in the first three months of F.Y. 2000, increasing the total cost to $550 million It is the largest tax cut in Georgia's history. In alL Governor Miller has cut taxes five times during his eight-year Administration for total tax relief of $878,000,000.

Budgetary Concepts Sector Separation. The economic income which Georgians enjoy results from an interaction of government sectors with the private sector in the utilization of the State's resources. In long-term perspective, the sectors complement each other in extending the resource base and in enhancing the explicit and the implicit incomes produced for households. In the short-term, nonetheless, what one sector uses the other must forgo. Fortunately, productivity advantages can compensate for specialized absorption. The private sector combines its purchases of inputs in various markets with government-provided services and durables and produces those things which the public will buy. In contrast, governments first reach into the private sector with fees and taxes to get revenues. After buying various goods and services from the private sector, they then use their own "non-profit" technologies to generate "non-priced" outputs and to return these to businesses and individuals as "free" capital (like highways or an educated work force) or as service incomes (like those from parks, welfare, or general education). Since no market mechanism operates to diminish or augment the size of sectors, the division of the resource base is managed mainly through political institutions. Incremental Adjustment. As technologies, public preferences, and concentrations of people and activities shift, so do the ways in which government and private sectors interact in support of citizen wellbeing. By and large, the extents and forms of participation are altered incrementally. at Despite increasing efforts strategic ordering, the long-term government-private path of participation is still ruled more by persistent political ideals and short-term political opportunism than by far-sighted planning. For example, there are no budgets to define governments' roles over a decade. Nor are there budgets incorporating the flows of services from existing infrastructure (like roads) and melding them with flows from new infrastructure being put in place or planned. But, the long-term span is nevertheless made up ofa sequence of shortterm periods. Consequently, annual budgets hone the preferred combinations of private and government spheres of activity. New programs and products compete with established services and goods for scarce government dollars. Pilot programs evolve and become general. Improvements for one group or area seep to other voters and places. By "political nudging", budgets for single fiscal years are used to head participation paths in the direction of the currentlyviewed "best mix" of sector outputs. Sectoral Inertia. The State's budget for Fiscal year 1999 is not a stand-alone fiscal proposal. It is developed against the backdrop of what is happening in the private sector and what trends have been emerging. It builds upon what the State has done, is doing, expects to do, and is expected to do. It is attuned to the economic momentum of both the government and the private sectors. As the budget reinforces and extends, so too it eases and narrows the role of government. Overall, the purpose of the Fiscal Year 1999 budget is to foster a politically-preferred sectoral interaction suited to today's thinking about government's productive capacity. Thereby, it acts to elevate flows of all kinds ofpersonal income. Oualitative Content. Significantly, the budget includes no measures of the intensity of the government's reach-in for funds and of its return of goods and services to the private sector. Neither does the budget register whether the reach-in and the return are done clumsily or efficiently. In fact, only one qualitative dimension is firmly imbedded in current Georgia practice. The Constitution requires that budgeted expenditures be "balanced" by available surplus and expected collection of revenues from new and existing sources. Government must "pay" its way. This requirement speaks against the State's use of an outreach through borrowing to augment general funds. While borrowing in the creation of capital is expected, "smoothing" of government's involvement in the economy via the use of off-budget funds is not allowed. Although general-obligation debt is not permitted to enlarge the supply of general funds, the Constitution does require that annual charges for debt service (interest and principal) be given first-claim on general revenues. Moreover, the law restricts debt service payments to 10 percent of the prior year's general-fund revenues. Though capital financing through debt issuance is an "off-budget activity", such borrowing then turns out to reduce simultaneously the level of "disposable" general funds. This feedback makes borrowing less attractive. The notion of "affordable debt", the borrowing restraint built into the State's Debt Management Plan, is thus rendered one of "affordable general funds". Informal qualitative bounds on the budget also exist. A self-imposed limitation, one given prominence in the administration of Governor Zell Miller, calls for the annual filling to maximum statutory levels of the State's two formal budgetary reserves. Such filling is possible only if the spending of general funds leaves "excess" collections at year's end. Under the Midyear Adjustment Reserve (1982), up to one percent of the State's prior-year net revenues can be made available for appropriation by the General Assembly at midyear in an effort to meet expenditure "needs" not satisfied in the full-year budget. Under the Revenue Shortfall Reserve (1976), up to three percent of net revenues of the prior year can be held as a potential "smoother" of expenditures. The reserve can be drawn upon when services are simultaneously threatened by a private sector slowdown and when offset through changes in taxes is not politically feasible. In earlier administrations, the policy of maintaining reserves by including both the needed funds and the budget within the estimated revenues was treated as volitional. Under Governor Miller's approach, in contrast, reserve maintenance has become 14 a virtual component of the budget and, as such, has been covered routinely by the Governor's revenue estimate. Important qualitative restraints are not necessarily political. Some restraints are imposed upon the budget by the private sector. One limitation again involves debt issuance. Corporations which sell credit ratings on states to the Nation's inveStment community emphasize as indicators of repayment FIGURE I STATE GOVERNMENT'S CLAIM ON INCOME Bil . 97$ GEORGIA: F.Y. 1972 - F.Y. 1997 (Ratio Scale) 6.60 -r-------------------, likelihood the ratios of a state's debt to state personal income, 6.40 population, and tax revenues. The better a state's credit rating, 6.20 the higher the price at which its promissory notes sell and the 6.00 lower its interest cost. For the highest ratings (the "AAA" which Georgia enjoys), these ratios must be held close to what, in view of the repayment history of all states, appear to be prudent levels. In addition to favorable debt ratios, rating agencies sense repayment security in budgets supported by a diverse set of revenue sources. Taxation of broad (rather than 5.80 5.60 5.40 5.20 ,,"- "", ,,10 ,,'0 'b~ 'b"- ~ '010 'b'b "'~ ","- ",'" ",10 narrow) bases but at low (rather thah high) marginal rates are preferred.

The resulting made up by revenues flowing to the State for the fiscal years "average income-elasticity" of Georgia's revenues proves to be from 1972 to 1997 are depicted. Obviously, the share of approximately 0.9. That is, when income rises by 10 percent, personal income which government has used to meet public revenues (on average) rise by 9 percent.

Conversely, during Assembly. slowdoWns or recessions, tax bases flatten or stagnate and collections' growth falls behind the gains in the private sector. III. Anatomy of Revenue Growth The revenue/income response falters.

With no action. appreciable hesitation in the advance in the private sector in In Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999, neither boom nor sight, the anticipated "after-relief' gain of only 7.7 percent recession is expected. Consequently, the revenue response to over 1997 levels appears conservative. Even without the tax growth in the private sector appears likely to fit the long-term plan, the implicit 10.2 percent gain over 1997 levels is modest. average. For a growth in personal income of about 7.5 Afterall, the one-year gain of 1997 over 1996 was 6.6 percent. percent, revenues in Fiscal Year 1999 could be expected to A clear message emerges. The 5.0 percent cut in individual climb by as much as 6.3 percent. After allowing for the 2.3 income taxes is affordable. In fact, to have a $275 million percent cut in individual income taxes, the posited growth rate income-tax reduction come so soon after the 1996 lowering of of about 6.8 percent appears to be conservative but reasonable. the sales tax rate on food (effectively a $540 million relief provision in Fiscal Year 1999) provides a second unmistakable FIGURE III GEORGIA'S NET REVENUES: FISCAL YEARS Bit. 97$ (Ratio 1981 - 1997 (Unadjusted for tax change) Scale) 12.00.,...------------------.., 10.00 8.00 6.00 ~. 4.00.p signal. The path downshift apparent in Figure III will endure. Greater efficiency and productivity in the delivery of government services is allowing more "needs" to be met with fewer revenues. The diversity in revenue sources which the rating agencies prefer is apparent in the representation of Figure IV. From the economic downturn in 1990 through the year 1997, individual income taxes have grown the most rapidly. In Fiscal Year 1991, the yield from this tax made up 40.9 percent of the State's net revenues; by 1997, the proportion had reached 42.7 percent. Corporate income taxes made the 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 sharpest recovery among the three taxes after their slide from Fiscal Year 1990 through 1992. Their proportion of total revenues rose from 5.3 percent in 1992 to 6.4 percent in 1997. Sales taxes In Figure III, the pattern of revenue growth over the 19811997 fiscal years is portrayed. Inspection shows that the revenue-growth path that applied from roughly 1983 to 1989 was interrupted in 1990. Despite a 10-percent tax boost (sales taxes) which became effective in that fiscal year, revenue growth in the expansion following the 1990-1991 recession grew at only a slightly slower rate than individual income taxes until the first stage of the reduction in the rate on food purchases was implemented in October of 1996. Despite levelling in Fiscal Year 1997, the sales tax collections rose by 48.4 percent from 1990 to 1997. Their proportion of total revenues eased from 38.0 percent to 36.5 over the same period. was launched along a growth path as steep as that of the eighties but considerably downshifted. Though budgetary levels have remained below those ostensibly expected in 1989 when the sales tax rate was raised, the provisions of the FIGURE IV Index GROWTH IN REVENUE SOURCES 1990=1,000 GEORGIA: FISCAL YEARS 1990 - 1997 1,800.,..-----------------------------., 1,600 government for the economy in the 1,400 years 1992-1997 have evidently been satisfying.

The Revenue Prospect The conservative nature ofthe estimate of revenues which finances the Fiscal Year 1999 budget and maintains the budgetary reserves has been asserted. It is made clearer by review of current trends in the private sector of the Georgia economy, As shown in Figure V, employment in services and in wholesale and retail trade have lead the state's expansion in employment since 1990. Of the roughly 611,000 gain in nonagricultural employment from 1990 to 1997,314,000 workers have been added in services and 172,000 in trade. Although manufacturing employment has had weaker growth, manufacturing workers are more numerous in Georgia today than they were in 1990. In the Nation, fewer manufacturing workers are to be found. These advances have put Georgia's rank in employment gains in the top quarter of the states for the years 1994-1997 (Figure VI). While both Georgia's ranking and growth were stronger in the eighties, the 2.7 percent average annual advance in the last three years has kept Georgia's income growing robustly. Personal income gains in the state have averaged 7.0 percent per year since 1990. Since 1994, the rates of gain in income have remained stable at approximately 7.5 percent. Employment gains have eased to the 3.5 to 4.5 percent range and, as apparent in Figure V, slow slippage in growth is continuing. Yet, there is no suggestion that the rates of gain will slow abruptly. Although population growth is easing as well and business expansion is cooling somewhat, the probable growth in the private sector through 1999 remains in the 6-7 percent range for income and the 1.5 to 2.5 percent range for employment. This combination will be sufficient to keep revenues flowing above the modest expectations implicit in the revenue estimate undergirding the Fiscal Year 1999 budget.

This new budget system is designed to support a more efficient and effective state 'government that will be more accountable and responsive to the public for all tax dollars spent. This Results-based Budgeting (REB) process is being phased in over the next several years. This methodical implementation will ensure that state budget and program personnel have the knowledge base for successful implementation. When fully implemented, REB will move the state towards a results-oriented budget as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act (Senate Bill 335). The new system will better link planning and evaluation to budget development and management. Results measures will be used more systematically to assess progress made toward meeting state goals and objectives for each department or agency of state government. Through REB, all activities of state government will be grouped into programs and subprograms. For each program, a program purpose, goal, and desired result that can be accomplished during the fiscal year will be developed. This desired result will be measured at the completion of the funding period and progress toward achieving the result will be measured. Last year, state agencies began this budgeting process by identifying all of their programs and developing a program purpose and goals for each program. Additionally, the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided Financial Summaries that indicated the total cost of each program. This year, this REB program information has been expanded to include the desired results for each program. A reader can review the various programs that define a department, the purpose and goals of that program, the measurable results that the program intends to provide the citizens and state government and the money that is spent achieving these results. This initiative is designed to relate program results with program expenditures. The Governor and the General Assembly can then decide through public debate whether or not the State is making the proper investment. Most of the agencies will be establishing their baseline data on their desired results during this fiscal year. It will therefore require another year to actually begin to assess the progress that agency programs are making in achieving these results. This year is the benchmark year for most programs. In a memorandum to all state agency heads in May 1996, Governor Miller wrote of his full commitment to REB and encouraged the same commitment from agency heads. The Governor wrote: "Constantly focusing our attention on not simply how we spend our resources, but rather on what we achieve or accomplish will keep Georgia on the right track towards effectively addressing the most important needs of Georgia citizens. .I think we can substantially implement this new concept as we develop the state budget over the next two years. Approaching this challenge with the same dedication with which you implemented budget redirection will carry the state and this administration a long way towards fulfilling the vision I have for a fiscally sound, effective and results-oriented state government." Results-based Budgeting is a method the state will use to require accountability for every tax dollar spent by every Executive Branch department. REB will organize a process of gathering information and documenting the state's efforts of whether or not expenditures are actually achieving stated goals and results. The specific goals of Results-based Budgeting include: Focus the legislative process upon the policy implications of funds expended in state agency programs and services. Identify similar programs across state agencies and assess total impact. Identify successful and unsuccessful programs. Enable programs to be evaluated and funded on the basis of achieving a specific desired result. Aid policy makers in determining if it is in the best interest of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result; i.e., is it worth it? Enhance the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in programs across agency organizational boundaries. To enhance state government's ability to understand and implement REB, the Office of Planning and Budget and the State Merit System Training Division developed and provided REB training to over 600 state budget and program personnel. This has enhanced the quality of this year's REB submissions from the agencies and the information provided in this year's budget document. 18 STATE STRATEGIC PLAN -1998 This State Strategic Plan for Georgia has been developed by the Governor's Office and the Office of Planning and Budget. The plan fulfills the statutory requirements for a state strategic plan as outlined in Code Section 45-12-73. It represents the second state strategic plan and a comprehensive vision for the future of Georgia. The strategic plan provides a view of the Georgia of tomorrow and the activities that are presently underway to move toward that future. Additional initiatives are identified that should be undertaken to attain our vision. The plan focuses on results necessary to achieve the vision. VISION FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA Georgia is a land blessed with natural resources and is fortunate to have residents who have been willing to work hard to support a dream for their children. It is this dream of a better future that has been the driving force behind our state's economic development in the last generation. While we have made much progress toward meeting that goal, there is still work to be done. Achieving this goal of a brighter future will require work and perseverance. It will not simply happen but will occur only if we take the necessary steps that are required. These steps must be taken concurrently in a variety of areas which, while important separately, together can create the dynamic climate that will make Georgia a national leader. Citizens, communities and governments of Georgia must find new ways to solve problems. These local problems are often statewide problems and statewide solutions have proven to be difficult to identify or implement. This will require new levels of cooperation and partnerships between all levels of government and all segments of local communities to focus on getting results in areas of common concern. State government must be a catalyst for innovative solutions and provide support to communities by reducing bureaucratic barriers and unnecessary regulations. Georgians deserve an educational system which will allow them to reach their full potential by giving them the knowledge and skills needed for the new challenges of tomorrow. It must provide both the opportunities to learn, such as the pre-kindergarten program, and tangible rewards for hard work, as provided by HOPE scholarships. In the future, Georgians will see education as a lifetime experience that prepares the individual for the constantly changing conditions of a world community. All Georgians also have the right to lead a life in a secure and safe community in which crime is controlled and fear of crime becomes a relic of another time. Government will maintain effective law enforcement to protect the public and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. By continuing to build a fair and effective judicial system, Georgia will create a climate of respect for the law that will help to break the cycle of violence found in parts of our society. A prosperous future will be based on a strong state economy that can compete successfully with the nation and the world. Georgia's economic growth must be protected by continuing a multifaceted strategy which attracts new industry, strengthens existing industry and provides the foundation and infrastructure necessary to foster economic growth. In developing industry, Georgia must also be careful to protect the very resources upon which our prosperity is based. Rich agricultural areas, expansive forests, and abundant water have helped to foster strong growth. These resources must be protected in order to assure continued prosperity in the future. By developing resources in an ecologically sound manner, building upon the format established by Preservation 2000 and River Care 2000, Georgia can ensure that it maintains the very resources which have created its current prosperity. A good quality of life for themselves and for their children has long been a goal of all Georgians. Adults as well as children deserve a social environment that allows them to develop to their fullest potential. Human services must be guided by principles that encourage and develop individual responsibility and accountability. Special emphasis must be given to policies that strengthen the family unit, because it is the breakdown of the family that has created the most serious consequences affecting the social and economic conditions in which children are now raised. In striving to create a better future, state government cannot work alone. Because of limited resources, government is just one of many partners in the public and private sectors which must work together if a better future is to be achieved. Our challenge is to keep government as a good partner, one that encourages quality development and growth, in partnership with communities to maximize local solutions to issues and problems. To accomplish this goal, government must work to deliver services to citizens in an efficient and effective manner. This state government must focus on getting results and on continuously measuring the progress on achieving results. An ineffective government will drain our economic strength and threaten our prosperity. As we proceed along convergent paths in all of these areas, a better Georgia will emerge. This better Georgia will be built on a network of improving communities that are partnering with state government to improve the lives of Georgians with a focus on results. Our state will thrive in a climate of fiscal responsibility and personal security. It will prosper with the strength of an educated, well-trained workforce and an infrastructure unrivaled in the world. 19 STRATEGIC AGENDA PRIORITIES The strategic plan focuses on six primary issues that the Governor believes to be the top priorities in setting the agenda for moving into the future. These six major issues are: Education As the information society becomes a reality, the role of education is growing in significance. Intellectual capital is becoming a medium of exchange, and individuals are challenged to learn and grow to the limits of their capacity. More than ever, education is a prerequisite for a good job and an improved standard of living. The future of Georgia's communities will be built upon an educated citizemy. In the future, Georgia's communities will work to coordinate resources in creative ways. Local educational institutions will serve as hubs for community activity centers oflifelong learning. The state's role will evolve to better support schools and colleges in local communities. Information on strategies for success must be shared, and we will hold local schools and colleges accountable for results. Schools and colleges are vital tools to ensure the overall well being of local communities as they work to create a culture of education throughout the state. With a strong vision of the long-term destination and a sharp focus on the desired results for education, we will build stronger partnerships between the state and local communities so that education serves our people well. Crime and Public Safety All Georgians have a right to live in safe and secure communities. Governments, both state and local, have a responsibility to provide for the public safety. To accomplish this, the state must maintain well-trained, effective law enforcement and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. Persons who commit a crime must be aware that they will be caught and retribution will be paid to the fullest extent of the law. Georgia's laws will be the toughest on violent criminals in the nation. The Georgia judicial system must be organized and staffed so that the enforcement of Georgia's laws can be administered quickly, efficiently and fairly. While we must ensure that the judicial system protects the rights of the accused, the system must also protect the rights of the victim. Finally, state government must create partnerships with communities to solve Georgia's crime problem. By working together with an eye on results, we can focus on turning troubled, at-risk juveniles from lives of crime. Economic Development Private industry is the driving force behind Georgia's economic development. However, state and local governments play a critical role in providing the infrastructure and business environment in which private industry exists. Georgia's economic growth has consistently out-performed the national average. Consequently, Georgia must continue to enhance its economic growth. Our goal is to maintain Georgia's strong economic growth rate to provide ongoing opportunities to Georgians. This goal will be achieved through a multifaceted strategy that attracts new industry, builds and supports existing industry, involves local governments, promotes Georgia and its products to the world, and provides the foundation and infrastructure for new industries of the future. Human Senices All Georgians want a good quality of life for themselves and their families. Children should grow up in a safe and nurturing environment that helps them develop to their fullest potential. To accomplish this, Georgia has returned to the original purpose of public welfare: a short-term hand up to help families get back on their feet rather than a longterm handout for life. Georgians will have access to education, training, and support services that provide an opportunity to break the cycle of welfare dependency. Our health-eare system will be strengthened to provide costeffective, quality care. The system will emphasize prevention, education, early intervention, and increased individual responsibility for personal health. Citizens will receive the support and care needed to maintain functional independence so they can continue to live in their communities as long as possible. The Environment Georgians are blessed to live in a state with remarkable ecological diversity. To maintain this diversity over time, the citizens of Georgia are becoming better stewards of the environment. Environmental diversity is a strength. It must be preserved and protected so that the children of tomorrow can enjoy the same wonders as their parents do today. This is why environmental protection is so important and has been a special focus over the last six years. By acting now, the future of Georgia's environment will be clean, diverse, well managed, and available for all citizens to use and enjoy in the Georgia of tomorrow. An Efficient and Effective State Government Delivering valued services to citizens, the customers of state government, must continue to be the primary concern of every government agency and every public employee. Georgians demand increased accountability and state stewardship of public monies. To ensure that state government continues to become ever more efficient and effective in the delivery of services to its citizens, it must continue to focus efforts on programs that are achieving desired, demonstrable results. The state must continually review its programs, policies and procedures, redirecting resources to those mandated and desired program areas that promise substantial return or which have demonstrated successes. State government must partner with local communities and focus on common areas of concern with a result orientation. The state will benefit from a network of improving communities. 20 READER'S GUIDE The F.Y. 1999 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with Governor Zell Miller's budget recommendations to the 1998 Geneml Assembly to establish state spending for two different fiscal years-the upcoming F.Y. 1999 Budget Report and the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget Report. The Budget Report reveals the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for F.Y. 1999, which begins July 1, 1998 and ends June 30, 1999. It also includes detailed infonnation about past, current and projected revenue collections; past expenditures and budgets; program policies, and state organizational structures. This document is released in connection with the Governor's Budget Message to the Georgia Geneml Assembly during the first week of its annual session. An Amended Budget Report, released during the week prior to the session, details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the fiscal year underway when the Geneml Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 1998 Geneml Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fiscal year that ends on June 30, 1998. The Budget in Brief each year is published after the legislative session ends and covers all new or amended expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the next fiscal year (often called the outyear) and for the fiscal year then in effect. CHANGES IN F.Y. 1999 The F.Y. 1999 Budget Report is organized essentially in the same fonnat as the previous edition, but there are three changes in content that are noteworthy. The changes are: Second-phase implementation of the ResultsBased Budgeting (REB) program. An expansion of the state's Capital Improvement Program to 5 years from 4 years to be more consistent with the State Strategic Plan and most Agency Strategic Plans. A reorganization in the way capital outlay recommendations and requests are displayed in the Capital Outlay section. RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING Results-Based Budgeting is a new initiative that divides all state government activities into programs. The future of all programs, in tenns of their continuing existence and funding level, will be determined by how well they measure up to the perfonnance measurements that will be recommended in the future by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly. RBB is presented in 2 parts-Program Summaries and Program Fund Allocations. The first phase of Program Summaries in the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided infonnation on each program by name, putpose and goals. The second phase, which is implemented in this document, identifies desired results expected from each program during F.Y. 1999. The second phase also refmes and identifies programs more in line with the state's original expectations. The F.Y. 2000 Budget Report will include phase 3, which will involve for the first time the identification of benchmaIks against which desired results will be measured. New desired results for F.Y. 2000 also will be in next year's document. It is possible that some actual results will be in the F.Y. 2000 document. The F.Y. 2001 document will for the first time measure actual results for all RBB programs against previously published desired results. The Program Fund Allocations section provides the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations for each program and the F.Y. 1998 actual appropriations. Total and state funds are shown separately. The recommendations and prior appropriations are both displayed by agency programs, attached agency programs and pass-through funding. This display provides a fuller accounting of an agency's mix of funds than has historically been provided in the state's budget documents. REDIRECTION A new dimension was added to the State of Georgia's budget process beginning with F.Y. 1997-Redirection. The concept will be entering its third year in F.Y. 1999, and it has been one of the main instruments in making possible increases in education funding while the state sales tax on groceries is being eliminated during a period when revenue growth has been moderating and citizens are demanding improved services. An understanding of Redirection and its impact on the budget is especially important in understanding the philosophy that is governing Governor Miller's approach to the budget during the last years of his Administration. While the impact of redirection is spread throughout the entire budget, it especially impacts 2 sections in each department-the Financial Summary and Budget Summary pages. Through Redirection, Governor Miller requires all agencies to reexamine how they do business. He wants them to study their expenditures carefully and eliminate or 21 READER'S GUIDE downsize those activities that are no longer needed or have a low priority as compared to other higher priority services. I To achieve this goal, Governor Miller ordered all department heads to present F.Y. 1999 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least 5 percent of an agency's F.Y. 1998 adjusted base budget, with the reallocated funds to be used for 3 purposes: Fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources. Fund growth in formula and entitlement-related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas. Increase fund availability for priority areas within state government as a whole. The F.Y. 1999 Redirection level could not exceed 100 percent of the F.Y. 1998 adjusted base budget. The adjusted base budget was determined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the F.Y. 1998 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 1998 salary adjustments. Once the adjusted base budget was determined, agency heads were allowed to request enhancement funds for new or expanded services requested above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests, however, were limited to 4.5 percent of the adjusted base. Generally speaking, enhancement funds represent a funding level that in recent years has been known as improvement fund requests. The major difference is that there is now a cap on enhancement funds whereas there was no cap on funds requested for improvements. Also, much of the funding that was once requested as improvement funds must now be requested in redirected dollars, not the add-on dollars represented by enhancement allocations. There is no limit on the amount of capital funds that can be requested. THE KY. 1999 BUDGET REPORT ORGANIZATION CHART Each agency's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the divisions comprising each department. The description of services performed by each division has been removed from the chart and merged with the Roles and Responsibilities page. The numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October 1, 1997 for each division. The total number of positions budgeted for each department is listed underneath each department's title at the top of the page. HIGHLIGHTS The Highlights page for each department provides a summary of new or expanded appropriations that are being recommended for that department by the Governor. The page may be omitted for any agency that does not have sufficient enhancements to justify a separate page for such highlights. FINANCIAL SUMMARY The Financial Summary for each department provides up to 12 different levels of budget information by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations. The ftrst page of each sununary includes the following information concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests: F.Y. 1996 and F.Y. 1997 actual expenditures F.Y. 1998 current operating budget F.Y. 1999 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals The second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the F.Y. 1999Governor's recommendations: Adjusted Base Funds to Redirect Additions Redirection totals Enhancement totals Departments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this F.Y. 1999 Budget Report, with each section providing a different level of information about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section. Each Financial Summary includes the total funds recommended or appropriated to each department, including state general funds, federal funds, funds collected and retained by departments, and any other funds available to them. The totals for each category of fund sources are shown at the bottom of the tables. Total State Funds, displayed in bold type, represents state general funds either recommended or appropriated to the departments. 22 READER'S GUIDE The number ofpositions and motor vehicles are the last items displayed under each table. BTJDGETSUMMARY The Budget Summary explains the Governor's Recommendations, as displayed by object class on the second page of the Financial Summary section, from the perspective of new budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new, expanded or redirected programs and setVices that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary. ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The ftrst line lists the existing state appropriations for F.Y. 1998, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for F.Y. 1999 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases and reductions for non-recurring expenditures. These adjustments to the 1998 appropriation total provides the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations. REDIRECTION FUNDS. The section on Funds to Redirect is an explanation of the numbers displayed on column 2 of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary. The Additions section explains column 3, while the Total Redirection Level number represents column 4. ENHANCEMENT FUNDS. Column 5 is explained in this section, separated by Enhancement Funds and Capital Outlay. The Total State Funds number matches with column 6. FUNCTIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY Functional budgets by total and state funds are displayed in this section for the current year's appropriations and for the outyear's recommendations by the Governor. ROLES AND RESPONSmILITIES This page describes what departments are responsible for doing by law, policy or mandate. It also describes how departments are organized to carry out their missions. Since the Organization Charts for each department no longer carries information about the responSIbilities of each division within the department, the Roles and Responsibilities page for F.Y. 1999 combines the contents of both pages in prior publications. STRATEGIES AND SERVICES This section discusses the major budget and policy changes taking place in each department. The discussion focuses on major initiatives that are in the ftnal stages of implementation, those that are currently being implemented and possibly expanded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future. Charts and graphics are used extensively to dramatize these major initiatives. CAPITAL OUTLAY The state's Capital Improvement Program is being expanded from 4 to 5 years to be more consistent with the timeframe of the State Strategic Plan and most agency Strategic Plans. In addition to listing each agency's capital outlay requests and the Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 1999, the Capital Improvement Program displays capital outlay needs for ftscal years 2000 through 2003, as identifted by the agencies. Adding an additional year to the Capital Improvement Program recognizes that most major capital projects require significant planning and analysis prior to a formal request for design and construction funds. As a consequence of this change, several significant changes are being made in the organization of capital outlay pages. Both the F.Y. 1999 recommendations and the ftscal years 2000-2003 projections will be reorganized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided into 5 categories. Projects will be listed in 2 groupings-fIrst, by groups of projects with a common interest; second, with each group being subdivided into 5 categories. First, projects are grouped by such subjects as institutions, authorities, commissions, centers, or by common relationships, such as Major Markets, Wildlife Resources, Local School Systems or Regional Youth Development Centers. Second, the major groupings are subdivided into the following categories: Property Acquisition, New Construction, Renovations and Improvements, Major Repairs and Equipment. The cost of construction is listed for all projects, by cash or bonds, either as recommended by the Governor for F.Y. 1999 or as estimated by the departments. 23 READER'S GUIDE A separate table in the Capital Outlay section displays the total impact of capital outlay on the F.Y. 1999 recommended budget, including new bonded indebtedness, cash capital outlay, the cost of opening new facilities, and the estimated future operating costs of all projects recommended for funding by the Governor. APPENDIX Several items of general background information are displayed in this section, including state surplus for the prior 2 years, historical information and current statistical data about state bonds, a 3-year record of authorized positions, a glossary of budget-related terms, the identification of all acronyms, a statistical overview of the state, and an explanation of the basis of budgeting and accounting in Georgia. THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA Readers interested in a detailed explanation of how the budget process works in Georgia are urged to see a separate section on this topic in the Appendices of this document. The section explains the various sources of state revenues and how budgets are approved and administered. The explanation includes how current budgets are amended and how original budgets are passed for the following fiscal year. 24 Financial Summaries ESTIMATED FUND AVAILABILITY, BUDGETS AND SURPLUS SURPLUS: State Funds Surplus Estimated Agencies' Lapse - State Funds Lottery Surplus Estimated Agencies' Lapse - Lottery Total Surplus RESERVES: Midyear Adjustment Reserve Motor Fuel FISCAL YEAR 1998 FISCAL YEAR 1999 $524,974,958 49,161,998 69,869,338 17,054,052 $661,060,346 $111,313,935 24,674,865 REVENUES: State Revenue Estimate Additional assessments to be collected by the Insurance Commissioner and deposited into the Treasury during the first quarter ofF.Y. 1999.

The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10 percent of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. Ifnet 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 $54,323,390 on June 30, 1997. 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 percent a year until the reserve equals 50 percent of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year. Lottery surplus available at the end ofF.Y. 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended F.Y. 1996 budget and still leave enough funds over to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its fITst year. Governor Miller wrote the State Auditor a letter requesting that the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount be fully funded from the 1995 surplus, and the Auditor complied with the Governor's request. The Subaccount's balance on June 30, 1997 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of $25,224,063. The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1997 total as follows: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount $ 54,323,390 77,718,586 TOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES $ 132,041,976 35 RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS State law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.GA) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $530,000,000 for F.Y. 1999. The Governor recommends $530,000,000 for the following programs. VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS This program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends fimding of$217,828,959 in F.Y. 1999 to serve 61,000 four-year-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 26,210 four-year-olds, and all other private providers serving 34,790 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,232.97 in base earnings per student. With a State-Certified Teacher: Zone 1*$91.68 Zone 2*$83.00 With a Non-Certified Teacher: Zone 1*$82.67 Zone 2*$73.99 The reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for F.Y. 1999 for the 36-week program represent a 3 percent increase over the F. Y. 1998 rates and are as follows: * These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for child care sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division ofFarnily and Children's Services in accordance with federal regulations. The zones are as follows: Zone 1 -- Metro Atlanta and Zone 2 - All Other. The total fimding includes $22,315,757 for at-risk services including extended day services for at-risk four-year-olds to allow their parents to participate in work or training and family service coordinators for families of at-risk four-year-olds. In addition, there is $800,000 to fund start-up costs for the expansion from 59,000 students in F.Y. 1998 to 61,000 in F.Y. 1999. There is also $2.8 million for training of new teachers and $3,338,806 for administration of the program. HELPING OUTSTANDING PUPILS EDUCATIONALLY (HOPE) AND OTHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS These programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F. Y. 1999 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in the 1993-1994 school year and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE grant at any Georgia public college or eligible private institution in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE grants in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 19971998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE grants in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE grants at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive grants for their senior year. HOPE grant awards for eligible students attending public colleges will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grant awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. All seniors who are otherwise eligible for tuition equalization grants will be entitled to receive a second-tier tuition equalization grant of $1,500. This second-tier HOPE Tuition Equalization Grant will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants. HOPE grants will be paid to the colleges. All students working toward a diploma at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks.

In F. Y. 1999, home schoolers are for the first time being made eligible for the HOPE program. There is no current consensus about how to fairly equate the grade average of a home schooler with that of a student going through several years with several different teachers and achieving a cumulative "B" average. For F. Y. 1999, home schoolers will be eligible for HOPE and will be reimbursed for tuition, books and fees for the 45 hours achieved. grade point average of3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full.

Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in F. Y. 1999 will be $3,500,000.

AUTHORITY Title 50-5, 40-3548 Georgia Code Annotated. 61 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Strategies and Services The Department of Administrative Services provides an assortment of services to state agencies. A few of the areas in which the department furnishes agencies services or support are described below. The items featured are the: Family and Children Electronic Tracking System (FACETS), implementation of the state purchasing card program, privatization of state fuel card management program, development of the alternative fuels program, and the department's production services unit which offers audio, video and conference support services to interested agencies. FAMILY AND CHILDREN ELECTRONIC TRACKING SYSTEM (FACETS) The department's Information Technology Division is developing and implementing a new computer system to better enable the Department of Human Resources' Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) to oversee and manage the services provided to children and families in the state. The Family and Children Electronic Tracking System (FACETS) will facilitate collection of information essential for tracking, monitoring, reporting and management of cases handled by the following DFCS units: Child Protective Services, Adult Protective Services, Foster Care Placement Services and Adoption Placement Services. When completed, this system will be certified as a Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System by the federal Department of Health and Human Services. FACETS is designed to interface with various state and federal databases and agencies to ensure effective and efficient administration of services and payments to clients. FACETS will be the primary tool used to track and process information and activities for reporting incidents, assessing cases, recording decisions and changes in case funding source purchases being made, assure the eligibility, and managing cases. This purchases are valid, and that the card system will allow counties access to is being used properly.

Conversely, in the case of a IMPLEMENTATION OF THE non-card purchase, payment through STATE PURCHASING CARD the agency would take several days to PROGRAM several weeks due to the extra The department, in its ongoing paperwork and processing time effort to make the purchasing process associated with non-card purchases. for state agencies more flexible, The department's goal is to responsive and less expensive, is now eventually convince all agencies and allowing state agencies to use institutions to enroll in the purchasing purchasing cards for purchases of card program, and have the amount of $2,500 or less. Using the purchasing card eliminates the excessive time and Purchasing Transactions Under $2,500 paperwork formerly necessary to process orders for small value items, allowing items to be obtained more promptly with a significantly reduced administrative cost. The department has 685,561 contracted with NationsBank Visa to operate the program. NationsBank pays for the card purchases made and sends participating agencies a monthly invoice with a record of card transactions and card usage so these agencies can 1994 1995 1996 1997 Fiscal Years monitor the 62 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Strategies and Services non-card purchases of items costing $2,500 or less drop 75%. The department also hopes to expand the scope of card purchases beyond the current supplies, materials and equipment allowed. The expanded scope would include small value services and utilities as well as statewide, agency and mandatory source contract purchases. PRIVATIZATION OF THE STATE FUEL CARD MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Faced with addressing the limitations of the current state fuel purchasing card program (Peach Card) and the need to improve and consolidate reporting of state vehicle fuel purchases and use, the department, supported by the recommendation of the Governor's Commission on Privatization is in the process of privatizing the state fuel card management program. Privatization has been determined to be the most cost-effective way of replacing the present outmoded Peach Card program with an expanded fuel purchasing card program which is capable of comprehensive, detailed reporting of fuel purchases and consumption. The new fuel card will be a commercial credit card accepted statewide, linked to an electronic system which monitors and controls card purchases and use. Agencies will be provided information for analyzing vehicle fuel usage. The main advantages of a privatized, statewide fuel program are: Capture of point-of-sale data, and electronic monitoring of fuel and service purchases for a specific vehicle or operator. Access to an account manager for new card issuance, cancellation and monitoring. Exemption of fuel tax at all fuel card network locations to the extent legally permitted. Provide performance data for a specific vehicle or class of vehicles.Limit purchases to authorized users and products, and provide data to agencies to monitor for abuse. Ability to set restrictions for each card as necessary (e.g. maximum number of gallons allowed per transaction) based on the specific needs of an agency, or to have default restrictions or parameters by vehicle class or agency. The department plans to have the contractor selected and the program operational by Spring 1998. Once implemented, the state under this program will have access to a more extensive network of fuel sites statewide for its entire fleet of vehicles, and greater capability to control fuel and vehicle operating costs. DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALTERNATIVE FUELS PROGRAM In response to federal laws enacted in recent years relating to clean air standards and the use of alternative fuels, the department has developed an alternative fuels program to educate agencies on the clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchases these laws require, and organize agency efforts in this area. Under the present federal mandates, the percentage of eligible state vehicle purchases consisting of clean/ alternative fuel vehicles must increase each model year until 200 I when 75% of eligible vehicles purchased are to be clean/alternative fuel vehicles. The program works with the 18 agency Clean/Alternative Fuels Task Force to coordinate the collection, analysis and reporting of clean/alternative fuel state vehicle purchase information, and assist agencies in determining how to satisfy the federal clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements. The program is responsible for filing periodic reports with the federal Department of Energy documenting the state's progress in meeting the federal clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements. Because a clean/alternative fuel vehicle usually cost $4,000 to $4,500 more than a conventional vehicle, state agencies with limited vehicle purchase budgets may have difficulty in procuring the necessary number of clean/alternative fuel vehicles. Recognizing this situation, the Governor in a step to assure state agencies comply with the federal clean/alternative fuel statutes, is recommending $232,500 in initial funding for F.Y. 1999 to assist qualified agencies in making the required clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchases. The program would administer these funds to qualified agencies to underwrite the additional purchase cost of these vehicles. The intent of the program is to provide adequate funding to assure that 100% of eligible vehicle purchases will comply with clean fuel requirements in the Atlanta ozone non-attainment area. The program is also striving to expand partnerships between established private vendors and state and local governments to encourage vendors to increase the number of alternative fueling stations available to state clean/alternative fuel vehicles, and stimulate manufacturers to furnish adequate supplies of the clean/alternative fuel vehicle models needed in fleets throughout the state. PRODUCTION SERVICES The department's Production Services unit serves the department and other state agencies through the offering of services including video production, audio recordings and special event/conference support. The unit's ability to provide a wide range of video, audio and conference support services gives the department and customer agencies an expedient, cost-effective resource to use in handling educational, instructional and training needs for agency employees and the general public. The unit also assists agencies in finding the appropriate private sources for a particular video, audio or support project, negotiating contracts regarding these private sourced projects, and overseeing quality and performance compliance regarding these projects. 63 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Results-Based Budgeting Program Summaries INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND PRODUCTS PURPOSE: Provide for state government a consolidated, statewide system of information technology services which are state of the art, reliable, cost effective, efficient and flexible to meet customer needs and expectations.

The department's efforts in these areas are also desjgned to protect farmers and consumers purchasing and selling agricultural products. The department's programs are operated jointly with the u.s. Department of Agriculture. PLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The role of this division is to administer and enforce federal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, treated timber, boll weevil eradication, and other related programs for environmental protection. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests, and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to be sure that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled. ANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION The Animal Industry Division is responsible for eradicating brucellosis, tuberculosis, pseudorabies, etc., in livestock. Additional responsibilities include: promoting certification and accreditation of cattle herds, qualification and validation of swine herds, and maintaining strict surveillance programs to prevent reinfection through total testing at livestock markets; assisting livestock producers through disease surveillance programs and laboratory diagnostic work; and gathering and reporting information on the poultry markets of Georgia. The division enforces the Dead Animal Act, Poultry Carcass Regulations, Garbage Feed Law, Prompt Pay of Auctioned Livestock Bill and both inter-state and intra-state livestock movement. Additionally, the division procures fertilizer, feed and lime samples for laboratory testing, and enforces the provisions of the Georgia Meat Inspection Act of 1969. MARKETING DIVISION The Marketing Division operates 6 regional markets (Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and Thomasville) and 17 seasonaVlocal market places. This division collects and distributes market information on Georgia agricultural products, administers various marketing programs and locates and develops new international markets for Georgia products. They also provide supervision for the 8 Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions. FUEL AND MEASURES This function ensures equity between buyers and sellers in commercial transactions by inspecting weighing and measuring devices to verify that the prescribed level of of accuracy for these devices is maintained. To insure compliance with applicable laws, the division enforces advertising laws regarding motor fuel and conduct examination/inspections of state warehouse and grain dealer. The division also inspects and tests commercial weighing devices, including scales, L.P. gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals and bulk plants. CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of this division is to inspect retail food establishments (i.e., grocery stores) for contamination and adulteration of retail food products. To ensure that all requirements are being maintained according to minimum federal and state standards, the division operates a dairy inspection program on farm and processing plants operating in Georgia, and provides information and statistics about milk and the dairy program to the industry and consumers. SEED TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION This division produces, processes, treats, stores and distributes to seed producers and farmers foundation agricultural seed stocks of 18 or more different crops comprising 60 to 65 different varieties and hybrids. AUTHORITY Title 5, 42-208, Georgia Code Annotated. 83 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Strategies and Services The Department of Agriculture hosts a variety of programs and services in its regulation of agriculture and agriculture related industries, as well as in its education and protection of the public on agriculture and associated areas (Le., retail food stores, petroleum products, meat and poultry inspections, etc.). The following strategies and services illustrate activities occurring in the Food and Milk Safety, Pesticide and Pesticide Container Disposal, Agriculture Product Promotion, Fuel and Measures, Structural Pest Control, and the Animal Protection programs. FOOD AND MILK SAFETY The Food and Milk Safety Program consists of the following types of inspections: retail food store, meat and milk. The rising number of non-traditional retail sales establishments expanding into the retail food sector has prompted the department to begin implementing a new electronic inspection system to cope with the added workload and other demands these developments in the retail food industry have placed on the department's inspectors. Additionally, the department's retail food inspectors are also continuing to receive advanced level training in all areas of food processing, including in-store meat processing, seafood handling, deli operations and bakery operations in order to remain abreast of developments in the retail food field. Meat inspectors currently inspect and license 158 red meat slaughter and processing facilities for the purpose of assuring the production of wholesome, unadulterated and properly labeled meat/poultry products. The Meat Inspection program's responsibilities were expanded with the commencement of the voluntary inspection program concerning ratite (i.e. ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and processing. This new program allows red meat slaughter/processing plants to be approved to slaughter/process ratite meat for sale to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history. The long range goal of the meat inspection program is to provide inspections that are comparable to those conducted at federally inspected establishments in degree and scope, and to effectively cross-utilize resources in performing these inspections whenever possible. and organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 273,000 pounds of chipped plastic in F.Y. 1998 through these efforts compared to the 245,250 pounds recycled in F.Y. 1997. The division is also sponsoring a program, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to collect pesticides which can no longer be legally used. In this program, targeted illegal pesticides are collected and disposed of by authorized disposal firms to prevent illegal disposal of and environmental contamination from these outlawed pesticides. Pesticide collections were made in a total of 8 Food Establishment Inspections FY 1993 - FY 1997 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 Fiscal Years Milk safety inspectors inspect dairy facilities for compliance with health and safety regulations concerning milk and dairy products. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the development and testing of a new electronic inspection system to be eventually used nationwide. PESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL The Pesticide Division is coordinating a program in conjunction with local governments counties for both 1995 (Dooly, Houston and Peach) and 1996 (Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook and Lowndes). Collections will be made in another 5 counties (Crisp, Lee, Macon, Schley and Sumter) in 1997. AGRICULTURE PRODUCT PROMOTION The department is continuing its activities to promote Georgia agricultural products in campaigns directed at the domestic and international markets. These campaigns use the theme "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" in publicizing and displaying Georgia 84 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services products at food and trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing btoadening the use of the "Georgia...Always In Good Taste" logo in concert with its product promotion efforts. The department is working with large retailers in identifying and marketing Georgia grown and processed items. FUEL AND MEASURES The Fuel and Measures Division is responsible for regulating the accuracy of all commercial weighing and measuring devices, and the quality of petroleum products. The division has upgraded 3 of its 4 trucks used in inspecting and testing heavy weigh scales to comply with the latest revised federal Department of Commerce standards for large weigh scale testing. The division's petroleum fuel and antifreeze inspection and testing outfits now inspect nearly 8,600 service stations and test approximately 17,000 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples annually. STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL The Structural Pest Control Program regulates firms, certified operators and employees involved in supplying household pest control services for controlling ants, roaches and other insects, along with wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi. Program staff also conduct inspections of dwellings and products treated for these pests. These inspections verify that the dwellings and products have been properly treated for the pest(s) in question. ANIMAL PROTECTION The department enforces the Animal Protection Act which requires pet industry operators (i.e. pet dealerslbrokers, breeders, animal shelters, kennel operators, etc.) to satisfy a variety of standards before being issued an operating license. The Act's purposes are to prevent unhealthy pets from being sold to the public, and to protect animals from abuse or neglect while they are awaiting sale. Inspectors also enforce federal laws regarding the use of controlled drugs for euthanasia at animal shelters, and monitor federal certificates of veterinary inspection and rabies inoculation records. The 7 inspectors assigned to this licensing and enforcement program inspect over 2,000 establishments and respond to nearly 300 complaints annually.

Assistance activities include, but are not limited to, Personnel Administration, Building Codes, Public Works, Governmental Organization/Management Practices and Regional Development Centers (RDCs). The department provides training to local governments in a variety of administrative areas such as payroll, budget and accounting, and procurement. The department conducts code enforcement training for local government inspectors in implementing the statewide uniform construction and building codes. Additionally, training is provided to local governments that request assistance in installing a user fee system for local public works. The department also develops sample policy and procedure manuals for local law enforcement and other governmental organizations and also contracts with RDCs to provide technical assistance to local governments. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ASSISTANCEl SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING The department has primary responsibility for implementing the Planning Act of 1989 (Growth Strategies). In this regard, the department develops and administers appropriate standards and procedures for local comprehensive planning; reviews plans submitted by local governments; certifies local governments as qualified participants in the planning process; and assists the Governor and his Development Council in preparing a comprehensive statewide plan. In addition, the department fulfills its statutory obligation to the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act by reviewing the waste reduction strategies adopted by regional/local government coalitions. INFORMATION The department has primary responsibility to serve as a clearinghouse for information and initial point of contact within state government for information, data, resources and assistance regarding activity related to local governments. Staff time and efforts are devoted to ongoing development and enhancement to the Georgia database and network. The database contains: 10 years of local finance data; population, economic and other demographic data; census data; historical data; and state agency data. Additionally, the database is incorporated into the states' Geographic Information System (GIS) planning efforts. Based on information collected from various sources, the department prepares numerous surveys, reports, documents, publications and studies. PARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ADMINISTRATION OF GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS The department administers the state and federal funds entrusted to the state for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grants and Revolving Loan Funds in the 35 Appalachian Regional Commission counties. The department also functions as a manager and contract monitor for passthrough grants. Such grants/contracts administered by DCA include state contracts for Regional Planning and Development, Local Assistance Grants, Local Development Fund, Regional Economic and Business Assistance Grants and Local Government Efficiency Grants. ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority makes low cost loans available to local governments for water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste facilities and coordinates the remediation and removal of state owned underground storage tanks.

AUTHORITY Titles 8, 12, 36, 48 and 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. 105 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Strategies and Services Since its creation, the Department of Community Affairs' miSSIOn has been to improve the quality of life of all Georgians through local planning and community development programs, by building local leadership capabilities; and by maintaining a positive relationship with the multitude of local governments in Georgia. Since the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority has been merged with DCA, the department's mission has expanded to include increasing the availability of affordable housing. The department also serves as the Governor's representative to local communities and local government associations in matters dealing with local and regional community development issues. Community development and technical assistance is provided to local governments primarily through four divisions: Business and Financial Assistance, Planning, Information and Management, Housing Finance and Rental Assistance. REGIONAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT Because of the many community problems that transcend city and county boundaries, many of them requiring financial assistance, Governor Miller recommended a targeted regional assistance grant program in F.Y. 1998 aimed at better solutions and economies of scale for regional or multi-county problems. The first grant applications were received in December and 36 different applications were submitted involving over 100 local governments. In F.Y 1999, the Governor will strengthen the state's efforts in community and economic development by providing more state resources for regional and rural development. In cooperation with the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism (ITT), the Governor is recommending state funded regional rural development teams consisting of 2 DCA and 2 ITT positions in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta. For DCA, the Governor is recommending 22 positions and operating expenses to deploy state resource specialists in the 11 planning regions. These state resource specialists will work with Industry, Trade and Tourism to support the state's economic development efforts by identifying state resources, facilitating regional or multi-governmental projects, and providing technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. There will also be two positions in DCA's Atlanta office to coordinate and support the 22 positions. The Governor is recommending $2,005,903 in DCA's budget for this new regional collaborative effort. The development teams will be advised by a Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region. DCA and ITT will each appoint the same number of advisors to the councils. State agencies who change their planning or service delivery boundaries to coincide with the boundaries of the new state development regions will be accommodated on the councils. A number of agencies and nongovernment organizations have already indicated they will change their boundaries to conform to the state development region boundaries. In addition, the Governor is recommending $1,000,000 to encourage counties and RDCs to realign their boundaries to coincide with the new state development boundaries. The $1,000,000 incentive package will consist of three parts. First, RDCs that agree to consolidate offices to align with the state boundaries will be able to apply to DCA for costs directly associated with consolidation and merger. DCA will assist with the legal, property and system integration costs of the consolidations. Second, counties that change RDCs will be able to obtain funds to realign their plans with their new RDCs and as an incentive for changing to the new state planning boundaries. Finally, RDCs will also be given an incentive for realigning with the state boundaries to help them incorporate new counties into their regional plans and to redirect their service delivery system to accommodate the new counties. The Department assists with regional planning and development through contracts with RDCs and other eligible regional organizations to address regional planning and development issues especially growth strategies issues. For F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends $1,959,945 to continue these contracts. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The department provides economic development assistance to local governments through administration of a number of grant programs. The federally funded Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) support several programs that assist Georgia's communities with economic development. The Employment Incentive Program (EIP) funds projects that result in new or retained jobs for low and moderate income persons. Also through the EIP, Georgia communities have established Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) programs. RLFs provide loans to local start-up and expansion businesses which provide a variety of services to help local communities improve their quality of life and that provide important employment opportunities, particularly for low and moderate income people. Regular competitive grants, the majority of CDBG projects, fund public facilities, economic development and housing projects which primarily benefit low and moderate income persons. The state funded Regio~al Economic Business Assistance Grant 106 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services (REBA) Program provides flexible and timely financial assistance to job creating development projects. For F.'y. 1999, the Governor has recommended $5,225,000. The department's guidelines fqr grant awards for direct economic development assistance stipulate that projects will be considered based upon: jobs created (or retained); total private capital investment; impact on the state, regional and community tax base; degree of local commitment; consistency with local and regional development goals and objectives; project impact; reasonableness of cost estimates; and assessment of criticality of state assistance to retention and recruitment of companies. The department seeks the advice of other state agencies such as the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism in making the final assessment. Included in these grants is $50,000 to make the model for the required economic impact assessment more user-friendly and to train community and economic development personnel throughout the state in the use of this model. Finally, $150,000 of REBA is to be used for Facilitech - Georgia's unique incentive for design and engineering services to new and expanding companies. Facilitech has assisted many companies in dealing with plant equipment positioning problems. HOUSING ASSISTANCE The Housing and Finance Division of the Department of Community Affairs administers programs aimed at increasing the number of first time homeowners in Georgia. The state and federally funded HOME programs offer qualified first time homebuyers low interest loans and down payment assistance. In addition, this program offers multifamily housing assistance to encourage developers to increase the number of low-income residential rental developments they build or rehabilitate. Developers can obtain public and private financing from a number of sources including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and Georgia Housing Trust Fund monies. The Department also administers the federally funded Stewart B. Mckinney Homeless Assistance Act programs and the state funded Georgia Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless programs. These state and federal programs aid homeless shelters and agencies with assisting the state's homeless with adequate housing. In F.Y. 1997, 350 projects received almost $4 million from these programs. RENTAL ASSISTANCE Another housing assistance area is the Housing and Urban Development, Section 8 program. The Department administers this program in 149 of 159 counties, providing low income families with quality affordable rental housing. The program is administered through regional offices in Albany, Athens, Carrollton, Eastman, and Waycross. Rent subsidies are provided to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families. The Family Self Sufficiency program is an effort to reduce participants dependency on Section 8 and other public support. Public and private sector resources provide education, counseling, job placement assistance, job training and other supportive services to help participants become self sufficient. GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. In F.Y. 1998, it is projected that GEFA will award $32 million in state-funded water and sewer loans for a total in excess of $258 million in loans since F.Y. 1992. The Governor is again 107 recommending $20 million in G.O. bonds to enhance the loan program. In addition, the authority administers the disbursement of federal energy program funds and federal drinking water funds. The F.Y. 1999 recommendation includes the last of three $5 million installments in G.O. bonds for the assessment and remediation of stateowned fuel storage tanks needed to meet federal requirements. The program will be re-assessed at the end of F.Y. 1299 to determine if the removal of the remaining tanks is necessary to prevent long term pollution problems. GEORGIA MUSIC AND SPORTS HALLS OF FAME Both the Music and Sports Halls of Fame in Macon aim to preserve Georgia's contributions to music and sports history, respectively, by maintaining and operating official state museums. The music museum opened in October 1996 and provides quality exhibits and educational programs for children and adults. Museum educational programs enhance the quality of primary and secondary education through planned school tours, after-school activities, and Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) distance learning programs to schools statewide. Since opening, the music museum has done well in attracting visitors and generating revenues. A monthly comparison of attendance in October 1996 versus October 1997, shows attendance increased by more than 104% and revenues (e.g., admissions, memberships, gift shop sales, rental fees, etc.) increased by 27%. This is due in large part to the Authority's state supported aggressive marketing strategy to promote the music museum as a recognized tourist destination. For the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, the Governor is recommending $248,000 to match private donations to complete the children's interactive exhibit and $150,000 for state-of-the-art equipment for the museum library. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services The children's exhibit will have various interactive themes such as a musical instrument workshop, small recording studio, distance learning studio - via GSAMS, a Georgia legacy component, music printers workshop, and other themes design to enhance the educational aspects of music. The museum library provides scholars, music aficionados and others a history of music via collections, interviews, and photography. The Governor is also recommending $737,260 in operating support for F.Y. 1999 for the first full year of operation for the Music Hall of Fame. The Sports Hall of Fame Museum is tentatively scheduled to open in December 1998. For the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, the Governor is recommending $640,000 to provide one-time funding outlays needed to aggressively promote the Sports Hall of Fame in advance of its December 1998 opening ($150,000) and for equipment and gift shop build-out ($490,000). An additional $100,000 is recommended in the Amended Budget for critical positions needed now (especially a curator). The Governor is also recommending $696,399 in F.Y. 1999 for first year state operating support for the Sports Hall of Fame. The Governor has directed the Sports Hall of Fame and the Music Hall of Fame to examine closely all areas where the two Halls of Fame can combine functions. Accounting, budgeting, security and maintenance require no special skills or knowledge in the areas of music and sports. Other areas may also be appropriate for consolidation when examined. The Boards of both halls of fame must work closely to maximize efficiency and save state dollars.

More than 36,300 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 135,000 offenders are on probation, 3,800 whom are in residential programs. The mission of the GDC is to protect the public and staff by managing offenders either in a safe and secure environment or through effective community supervision according to their needs and risks. In collaboration with the community and other agencies, GDC provides programs that offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law-abiding citizens. GDC has adopted 6 management directions to guide operations: Increase efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability. Ensure that prison is an undesirable experience. Have well-run, secure facilities. Supervise and monitor compliance with probation conditions. Offenders will work. Have effective programs and training. DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured, secure environment which removes from the community those offenders who pose a high risk. GDC provides legally mandated sei"vices in the areas of physical and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services and recreation. GDC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms; in food preparation, laundry, and construction; in facility and landscape maintenance; and doing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. The types of GDC institutions include: State Prisons (40). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than I year of incarceration to serve. County Prisons (24). The state pays a subsidy to county institutions to house and supervise state inmates. Inmates assigned to the county prisons typically work on roadway or construction projects for the county in which they are housed. Inmate Boot Camps, Probation Boot Camps, Probation Detention Centers (I 7). These 3 programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol. Transitional Centers (5). These community-based centers are designed to allow offenders nearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the community. GDC requires offenders to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center and support their families. Probation Diversion Centers (16). Judges may sentence offenders to diversion centers as an alternative to prison. Like transitional center residents, offenders in the diversion centers work and pay room and board, restitution, fines, and family support. Probation is designed to enforce judicial sentences in the community. The Statewide Probation Act of 1956 laid the legal foundation for the Probation Division. The law provides for standardized supervision by sworn peace officers of those offenders sentenced to probation, either directly from court on a straight probation sentence, or after completing a specified term of imprisonment on a split sentence. The mission of the Probation Division is to serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. Probationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fmes, and court costs. Many probationers are also required to perform community service, unpaid labor for the local community. Probationers are supervised with increasing levels of intensity in accordance with the risk they pose to the community. Requirements at these varied supervision levels may include adherence to a curfew, wearing an electronic device to monitor movements, drug testing, and home and job visits by the probation officer. ATTACHED AGENCIES The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is composed of five members appointed by the Governor and empowered to grant, deny, condition and revoke executive clemency. The board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and supervises the offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion of their sentences. The Georgia Correctional Industries Administration is a public corporation, wholly owned by the state. GCIA utilizes inmate labor to manufacture products and provide services to government agencies. This work also allows the inmates to receive training in these areas. AUTHORITY Titles 9, 42 and 77 of the Official Code of GeoTl~ia Annotated. 128 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS Strategies and Services Adults committed to the Dwartment of Corrections (DOC) have more than doubled over the past 10 years. Georgia's incarcerated adult population for F.Y. 1997 to F.Y. 2QOO is projected to grow at an average rate of 4% annually. Current crime data for Georgia shows that violent crime such as rape, robbery, and aggravated assault make up 25% of the total arrests in the state. The data reflects a 2% drop in the number of violent crimes when compared to prior years. However, the data also shows an increase in property crimes such as burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft and drug related crimes. BED-SPACE MANAGEMENT Usually, commitments to prison peak in March and then diminish until the next session of court in the fall. However, commitments to prison have risen sharply since mid-January 1997 and remained high throughout the year and at the same time, releases remained stable. Currently the prison system is operating at capacity. Specialized populations and the growing number of close security prisoners make even greater demands on the needed bed-space. The Department of Corrections continues efforts to steward its bedspace and funding resources. Initiatives include: Maintaining the occupancy rate of 99% in state prisons. Continuing to double-bunk offenders where facilities and staffmg allow. Reviewing, and identifying areas to establish additional bed-space with no need for additional staff at selected institutions. By the end of F.Y. 1999 opening a total of 3,228 prison beds authorized by the Governor to meet the growing commitments to the correctional system. Bed expansions at state prisons to be opened in F.Y. 1999 are Smith (I 92-beds), Washington (I 92-beds), Augusta Medical (384-beds), Macon (384- beds), Coastal (384-beds) and Wilcox (1 92-beds). Contract prison beds to open are Charlton (500-beds), Coffee (500 beds) and Wheeler (500 beds). The Department of Corrections will have available 41,008 prison beds by the end of F.Y. 1999 to serve the growing inmate population. to 1,855 and by October 1997, the jail backlog was at 1,790. The Board of Pardons and Paroles uses county jails to house parolees who have violated parole. County jails are also used to house probationers who have violated probation.

The department pays a jail subsidy rate of $20 per day for inmates that have been sentenced to a state prison and are awaiting pickup in excess of 15 days after the department has received a sentencing package. At the beginning of F.Y. 1997, Georgia's jail backlog for individuals sentenced to state prison stood at 918. By the end of F.Y. 1997, it had risen revoked to the Department of Corrections, are under the jurisdiction of the local judiciary and not the department. The judge decides whether the probationer is jailed or not. Code Section 17-10-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated designates the local county jail as one of the options the judge can use to incarcerate a probation violator. The county is not paid a subsidy for a probation violator. At the beginning of F.Y. 1997, the backlog for parole and probation violators stood at 1,359. By the end of F.Y. 1997, it had 129 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services County Inmate Jail Population July 1996 Number ofInmates in County Jails - 20,347 Local Jail Capacity - 22,285 County/Other Sentences 5,525 r---_ ProbationIParole Issues 1,359 Correction~J~IBac~og 918 October 1997 Number ofInmates in County Jails - 26,480 Local Jail Capacity - 24,572 County/Other Sentences 7,136 r---_ ProbationIParole Issues 1,078 Corrections/Jail Bac~og 1,790 risen to 1,565 and by October 1997, the mnnber of parolees and probationers held in county jails was 1,078. During October 1997 the Department of Community Affairs reported the number of individuals in county jails at 26,480. The number consisted of 16,476 awaiting trial, 7,136 county/other, 1078 probation and parole issues, and 1,790 sentenced to state prisons. During F.Y. 1999 the department will be opening the authorized bed expansions, which should reduce the number of inmates in county jails sentenced to DOC. PROBATION SUPERVISION During the past year to effectively meet the department's mission of public safety, the probation division began implementation of a Risk-Based Supervision Model to supervise probationers. Using a new offender classification system and this supervision model helps insure that those offenders presenting the greatest risk to Georgia's citizens will 130 receive the greatest share of the supervision resources. The implementation of the RiskBased Supervision Model comes in response to a changing probation population. In 1985 the make-up of the population was 47% felons and 53% misdemeanants, by 1990 felons made up 63% of the population with the remaining 37% misdemeanan'ts. The June 1997 probation population consisted of 73% felons and 27% misdemeanants. The change in the probation population has required the Probation DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services Division to prioritize the allocation of its field resources. The new model sets caseload capacity limits for mammum and high levels of supervision. This is the first time limits have been placed on the number of offenders each officer supervises. Restricted caseload size will allow officers to spend more time in the field, making unscheduled visits to offenders' homes and places of business, enforcing strict probation conditions, and holding offenders accountable for their actions. EDUCATION The Department of Corrections currently has 7 Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing 2,187 hours of instruction to inmates. During F.Y. 1998 the department has brought on line 10 additional sites, which are currently running at different levels of utilization. With the 10 sites up and running the department will have a total of 6,062 GSAMS hours available for the inmate population at the 17 sites. projecting that 9,025 inmates will enroll in GED classes. An increase of 57% in the number of GED tests administered in F.Y. 1998. In F.Y. 1997, 1,900 GED tests were administered to inmates and for F.Y. 1998 the department is projecting that 3,000 GED tests will be administered to the inmates. The Governor is recommending operating cost for the current 17 GSAMS sites and additional funding for 7 new sites. This will give the department statewide coverage for Geor2ia's Chamrin2 Probation Environment Misdemeanors 44,709 June 1990 - Cases 120,835 Frequency of probation officer contact with the probationer is emphasized. Minimum contact requirements have been set for each classification level. The model also establishes a Specialized Caseload category composed of offenders who have committed sexual crimes against children or crimes of family violence. The supervision for these offenders includes home searches for illicit sexual materials, registration with local law enforcement, and monitored treatment attendance. Specially trained officers supervise these case10ads. The goal is to protect victims and to help prevent any additional crimes against new victims.

For System members hired before July I, 1982, "old plan members", employee premiums are one-half of a percent, half of which is contributed by the state on behalf of the employee. MEMBERSHIP Total membership in the eight plans, including all three categories of active, retired and inactive was 271,112 as of June 30, 1997. An additional 86,262 were members of the Defined Contribution Plan as of June 30, 1997. The ERS estimates 200 that approximately two-thirds of its annual operating budget is required to provide accounting for all active and inactive members, including the processing of refunds and monthly benefit payments due to terminated and retired members (See table.). INVESTMENTS The ERS has its own "in-house" Investment Services Division, which handles the day-to-day investment transactions with advice from five outside advisors. Five members of the ERS Board of Trustees along with the Executive Secretary comprise the Investment Committee. Investment recommendations made by the Investment Committee require EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- Strategies and Services approval by the entire ERS Board of Trustees (See table.). 1982 AMENDMENT EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM . In 1982, the ERS of Georgia Act was amended to assure future actuarial soundness. Members employed on or after July 1, 1982, are referred to as "new plan members." Members joining the ERS prior to July 1, 1982, are referred to as "old plan members." Approximately 70 percent of the ERS members have joined under the new plan provisions. A primary difference between the old plan and new plan provisions is in benefits. The "benefits formula factor" in the old plan allows for a range with a minimum of 1.45 percent up to a maximum of 2.2 percent for 35 or more years of creditable service. The "benefit formula factor" in the new plan allows for a fixed percent factor of 1.64 percentage regardless of the number of years of creditable service. A minimum of 10 years of creditable service is required under either plan. ERS Investmt!nts AS at June 3'0, 1997 Market Value: ..

At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value of the state's forests. Forestry contributes $17.4 billion to the state's economy and provides more than 144,000 jobs in Georgia. The Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forest land, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset. The Forestry Commission has three budget unit divisions: Reforestation Field Services General Administration and Support The Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offers technical assistance to landowners in urban areas. FOREST PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Forest Protection, the primary function of the Forestry Commission, includes a statewide network of county and district offices adequately supplied with manpower and equipment necessary for the suppression of Georgia's more than 9,000 annual wildfires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires. This is followed by a powerful initial attack with trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized at the early phases of a forest fire. The average size fire in Georgia is four acres while the average for the southern region is 13 acres and the national average is 42 acres. The success ofthe program is credited to the manpower and equipment, including fire detection aircraft, being maintained in a constant state of readiness in order to respond during the early phases of a forest fire. The Rural Fire Defense program is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the Forestry Commission. This program has provided 812 fire departments located in 140 counties a total of 1,203 pieces of low cost/lease fire equipment. The Commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local fire departments statewide. In the area of Forest Management, the Commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. Multiple forest resource management is encouraged and promoted through forest stewardship on both public and private lands. Other forest management responsibilities of the Department include forest health monitoring (which includes periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest quality, education and compliance surveys, promotion and maintenance of RC&D and providing cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the Department conducts the management of four state-owned and two non-state forests using forest stewardship principles and the training of 77 field foresters. REFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide high quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the Commission's tree improvement and seedling production program, its intensively managed seed orchards, its low-cost seed cleaning and conditioning plant and its two tree seedling nurseries. EDUCATION AND URBAN FORESTRY In order for the State to maintain its leadership role as one of the top forestry states in the nation, the Forestry Commission believes in providing information about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment to the public and targeted audiences. The role of the Education and Urban Forestry program is to inform the public via all media areas about the importance of forest resources to the State's economy, environment and quality of life for all citizens. The responsibility of the Urban Forestry program is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests and provide professional expertise to resolve conflicts between people and forest resources. The program is responsible for the administration of more than $300,000 in federal grants to Georgia communities. UIllJZATION, MARKEI1NG AND DEVELOPMENf The Commission provides technical assistance to Georgia's small to medium forest product companies in the area of wood utilization (fiber supply and recycling of wood products) to ensure that these industries remain a strong and stable force in the state and local economy. The commission also provides input about fiber supply to the Georgia Pulp and Paper Initiative. ATTACHED AGENCY The Herty Foundation supports Georgia's pulp and paper industry by providing research and product development opportunities to manufacturers at its facility in Savannah. This support consists of providing laboratory services and several pilot scale production paper machines to allow Georgia's pulp and paper manufacturers to conduct research, develop new or improve existing products. AUTHORITY Title 12-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. 211 STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION Strategies and Services The protection, regeneration and effective management of Georgia's more than 24 million acres of forestland, with an estimated value of $36 billion, is the primary responsibility of the commission. Through the combined efforts of reforestation, forest protection and management and utilization programs, the Georgia Forestry Commission continues to provide an invaluable service to all the state's forest related industries while saving landowners millions of dollars each year. Georgia continues to plant more trees each year than any other state in the nation and has the best fire control record in the southeast - a ten-year average of 8,935 fires burning an average 3.96 acres (see table on next page). With the implementation of redirection in the budget process, the Forestry Commission took a hard look at how it provided its services in Georgia. As a result of a creative and thorough analysis over the last 3 years, the Commission has significantly changed the way it fights fires without altering the quality of its services. The impact of the redirection packages has been broad. The Commission has significantly reduced the number of fire tower operators in the state and gone to more effective methods of detecting fires. The addition of GPS locating systems has improved its ability to map the exact location of fires. Establishing contracts for service with metro-area counties has reduced costs in areas with mostly urban forests. Finally, for F.Y. 1999 the Commission will consolidate offices and air operations to further improve response time while reducing costs. In F.Y. 1999, the Forestry Commission promises to be more effective and efficient than ever before. FIRE PROTECTION Fire control is administered through a network of county units and 12 district offices. With the F.Y. 1999 redirection, the commission will no longer fight fires solely with the unit in the county of the fire, but will instead move to a "closest available resource" service-delivery mechanism. This will allow the Forestry Commission to continue its consolidation and devolution of fire protection services with the consolidation of 20 county units into 8 multi-county units with annual savings of at least $657,942 in state funds. Fire suppression equipment is vital to the Forestry Commission's operations, especially considering that with the F.Y. 1999 redirection the Forestry Commission will have reduced its personnel count by 9.6% over three years. The Commission's equipment consists of 341 tractor-plow bulldozers with accompanying transport trucks and trailers. The current budgeted replacement cycle for these transports is over 44 years. With this in mind, the Governor's F.Y. 1999 recommendation includes an additional $681,087 for motor vehicle purchases to implement a more efficient vehicle replacement cycle so as to ensure fire suppression equipment can be taken to any fire. Fire suppression equipment is used to plow approximately 22,000 miles of landowner requested firebreaks each year and 1,000,000 acres of forest land is prescribe burned annually to reduce the debris likely to fuel larger fires. The installation of presuppression firebreaks is the most popular service offered by the Forestry Commission to landowners in the state. Fire detection and suppression are supplemented with the use of 18 state owned single engine airplanes that will operate air detection flight patterns in 8 newly designated regions. These new regions are the result of the cancellation of the air detection contract for North Georgia, allowing the Commission to consolidate all state air operations while saving the state money. With the cancellation of this contract, the Commission will hire 1 additional pilot and seasonal help to patrol these 8 regions. Three UH-IH helicopters acquired through the Federal Excess Property Program at no cost to the state are also part of the air detection program. Continued improvements in response time, suppression capability, and technology are critical to the operation of the fire protection program. This is the third year that the commission has utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to more accurately map the location of fires detected via aircraft. The use of this technology, in coordination with previously mentioned improvements in response time and suppression capability, assists the commission in successfully providing the best fire protection in the southeastern states to Georgia's landowners. In response to the increased number of homes and other structures being built in forested areas throughout Georgia, the Commission conducts the Rural Fire Defense Program. The Rural Fire Defense Program provides low-cost fire-fighting equipment and technical assistance to local communities. To date, more than 1,200 fire trucks have been built and leased to rural fire departments under this program. In 1988, the State Legislature added the outdoor burning permit requirements to the Forest Fire Protection Act. This law requires all citizens wishing to conduct outdoor burning to call their local Forestry Commission office and consult with a Forest Ranger for a permit number. Over 1Y2 million permits have been issued since the permit law began. The permit system is a valuable fire prevention tool. By regulating the days that bum permits are issued, the Commission has prevented smoke problems caused by large forestry bums. The bum permits also provide Rangers with information as to the location and time of outdoor bums, which greatly improves their ability to respond to fires reported by citizens. The Governor's F.Y. 1999, recommendation includes $87,000 for dedicated FAX lines in county units to provide better response to landowners seeking bum permits and to transmit weather information necessary to the permit process. 212 STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services REFORESTATION The Commission's Seed Orchard Program provides a reliable source of tre'e seed and the opportunity to exploit the genetic potential of our forest trees. The seed orchards currently being established are projected to increase growth by 30 percent. This 30 percent increase will result in an average per acre value of $3,195 at the 35-year rotation. Through the Flint River and Walker nurseries, the commission offers approximately 50 million tree seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners in an effort to encourage reforestation. These seedlings reforest approximately 71,000 acres each year, helping to reduce the gap between acres harvested and regenerated, while at the same time providing wildlife food and habitat, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing urban or rural aesthetics. FOREST MANAGEMENT Programs and services offered to private landowners in the Forest Management Program include reforestation, site preparation, forest management plans, timber marking, forester referrals, insect and disease detection, timber stand improvement, natural regeneration, and marketing of state forest products. Through forest stewardship, the Commission encourages and enables non-industrial private landowners to practice better stewardship of their woodlands, including timber, wildlife, soil, water, historic, scenic and recreational resources. Many of the federal government's forest management programs, such as the stewardship program, are available to landowners through the Forestry Commission. In addition to the landowner services, the State Forestry Commission manages the Dixon Memorial, Baldwin, and Alamo State Forests and the Gracewood, Dawson, and Paulding Forests. Through management of the state's forests, the Commission promotes multiple resource management and environmental awareness in the areas of timber, soil, water, wildlife, recreation, and aesthetics. UTILIZATION, MARKETING, AND DEVELOPMENT The forest utilization efforts of the commission include providing technical assistance to the forestry community of wood manufacturers, contractors, banks, entrepreneurs and other state agencies to ensure an efficient, sustainable, productive forest resource that will provide job creation opportunities for Georgians. These services range from encouraging efficient use of wood in the manufacturing process, providing information on recycling of wood and wood products, collecting and analyzing marketing and resource data, and expanding markets for Georgia's forest products. The commission's compilation of the Forest Inventory Analysis on a five-year cycle has proven to be a success with landowners and forest product industries. The compilation of vital information about forest resources, health and productivity levels is expected to significantly impact forest planning to the benefit of the $17.4 billion industry in the state. 30 25 20 Acres 15 10 Average Fire Size for Southeastern States (1986-1996) 29.25 Ga.

Upon request, the GBI provides investigative and enforcement support services to local and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the state. In addition to conducting general and special investigations, the bureau provides forensic laboratory examinations and collects data on crime and criminals. Numerous programs are operational and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting are in place to combat drug trafficking and other crimes. The operations of the GBI include a staff of 741 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and 5 Regional Crime Laboratories through which the various support services are carried out GENERAL INVESTIGATION The mission of the General Investigation Section, within the investigative division is to provide assistance to local law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes committed throughout the state on a daily basis. The office also has original jurisdiction in the investigation of crimes committed on state property; the enforcement laws governing non-tax paid alcohol and tobacco; and the investigation of crimes committed on the basis of race, creed, religion or national origin. The majority of the manpower resources are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the 4 regional drug enforcement offices. The regional field offices conduct general investigations of all crimes and comprise the most significant program in the General Investigation Section of the division's budget. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. There are 7 specialized areas of operations: Crime Analysis Unit. Crime Scene Specialist Program. Financial Investigations Unit. Intelligence Unit. Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces. Polygraph Unit. A number of services are provided to assist local agencies in solving crimes throughout the state: Aid in the detection, apprehension and conviction of criminals, and behavioral science related services. Criminal investigations into auto thefts, car jacking, organized crime, fugitives, and controlled substances. Arson investigations. Publications and dissemination of the Criminal Activity Bulletin. Polygraph exams for other criminal justice agencies upon request. Assistance with security and crowd control for major organized events and civil disturbances in the state. FORENSIC SERVICES The Division of Forensic Sciences operates the headquarters laboratory in Atlanta and 6 regional laboratories in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Moultrie, Macon and Summerville. The laboratories examine submitted evidence, report scientific conclusions about that submitted evidence, and testify in court about results. These services must be timely and as up-to-date as possible to satisfy the needs of the courts and the police. The Headquarters Laboratory consists of the following programs: Administration Criminalistics DNA Database Drug Identification SerologylDNA Questioned Document Implied Consent Photography Toxicology Latent Examiner FirearmsIdentification Medical Examiner Services. GEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the operation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national information databases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Uniform Crime Reporting system. It performs audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies. AUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. 222 GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Strategies and Services Continuing his tradition of upgrading the capabilities and efficiency of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) each year, Governor Miller is providing a special bep.efit for GBI agents and scientists in his F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations-an extra pay incentive. The following pay increases are proposed to help bring agents and scientists to parity as compared in similar jobs in the private sector or in the employ of other governments: AGENTS-Increase the beginning salary for agents from $24,052 to $29,382; move agents that are paid below target to GeorgiaGain established target; and provide a 4% increase for agents that are paid above target. SCIENTISTS-Increase the beginning salary for scientists from $32,238 to $34,305; move scientists that are paid below target to GeorgiaGain established target; and provide a 4% increase for scientists that are paid above target. The GBI is losing agents and scientists to federal law enforcement and private companies for better pay and benefits. Their starting salaries are the lowest of Georgia's police departments, the lowest of 8 southern states and the lowest after 5 and 10 years of employment of 8 southern states that were surveyed. The Governor has recommended $940,000 to support the agent's salary increases and $585,000 to support the scientist's salary increases for a total recommendation of $1,525,000. CRIME INFORMATION CENTER AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS) -- AFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fingerprints with speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fingerprint cards and reports of final disposition create and update computerized criminal history records which are used by all criminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. These records are also used to respond to inquiries for applicant background checks. Latent prints submitted from law enforcement agencies are processed for the purpose of providing investigative leads or positive identification of a suspect. Remote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBI's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely. AFIS now electronically receives thumbs for each offender and total 1,116,811 records. Latent cognizant files total 762,149 and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,200 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the tenprint files or the latent cognizant files. These prints are stored for future reference. The chart below represents significant productivity data since the inception of AFIS. Automation of final disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions directly into the computerized Activity AFIS Searches AFIS Matches AFIS/CCH Records Initiated/Updated CCH Records Disseminated Tenprint to Latent Inquiries Production 524,028 330,032 591,866 792,903 464,048 fingerprint images transmitted directly from live scan terminals, and remote agencies search and update AFIS and the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) data bases. This recent upgrade of live scan images replaces the old inked impressions. Fingerprint images are captured electronically for transmission or for printing on a hard copy fingerprint card. In the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, Governor Miller has recommended $550,000 via a grant included in the Department of Community Affairs for 5 AFIS remote stations. These stations will be located in Whitfield County, Richmond County, Bibb County, Clarke County and Muscogee County. Local law enforcement agencies in these 5 counties and in surrounding counties will be able to take advantage of this advance technology to access the AFIS database. The AFIS database files currently total 1,878,960. Tenprint files store 2 223 criminal history database via the GO Network and a second transaction from specially designed case management software. Electronic updates of final dispositions from both types of automated courts accounted for approximately 14% of the judicial data to GCIC. GBI plans for future upgrades to handle the increase in submissions and to take advantage of new technology through remote terminals installed throughout the state in local law enforcement agencies. CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CnS) NETWORK--The cns network provides law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies quick access to critical state and national and driver's records; vehicle, boat and airplane registrations; stolen vehicles and property; wanted persons; and missing children and adults. There are currently 5,217 tenninals on the cns Network. During F.Y. 1997, the GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services system processed 120,604,086 messages. UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING (UCR)-- UCR is a program designed to collect and provide crime statistics for Georgia on incidents of crime and arrests. Crime and arrests statistics are reported to local law enforcement agencies, the Governor and General Assembly, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, county and muuicipal officials, and media representatives. Interested citizens also could obtain the same statistics through the publication of "Georgia UCR Summary Report". The UCR program also began the collection of family violence incident reports during F.Y. 1996. The 1992 General Assembly passed legislation mandating the collection, reporting and analysis of family violence data. FIREARMS PROGRAM (Instant Gun Check)--The Firearms Program provides a state backgrouud check for handguu purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handguu Violence Protection Act, the program provides the means for a federally licensed firearms dealer to call a 1-800 number to obtain an "instant check" on individuals prior to the transfer/sale of a handguu. This check is to insure the individual is not prohibited by law to possess a handguu. GCIC has processed 85,152 transactions and 7,637 have been denied. Seventy-six were denied based on felony warrants; 1,873 were denied based on convicted felons; 5,528 were denied based on felony arrests with no dispositions; and 154 were denied for family violence crimes. CRIME LABORATORY SERVICES--Governor Miller continues to address the changing demands for the services provided by the Crime Laboratories statewide. To address these demands, 2 additional positions and funds to fill 8 vacancies are being recommended in F.Y. 1999. With construction of a new branch laboratory in Summerville, completed in the summer of 1997, $205,000 for 2 positions and funding to fill a vacant position is recommended to staff a medical examiner program. This full service laboratory will give law enforcement agencies and the courts in the northwest portion of the state direct access to the expertise they need to solve cases and convict criminals. Services that are provided by the 6 regional laboratories will be improved with the support of an additional scientist at each laboratory. The Governor's recommendations include $147,790 for these scientist positions. Additionally, $23,446 is recommended to fill a technician position for the headquarters laboratory to handle the everincreasing receipt of evidence to be processed by the laboratory. LABORATORY UPGRADES-The Governor's F.Y. 1999 Budget recommendations include $1.3 the GBI Headquarters, which includes the state's largest medical examiner facility, cannot accommodate the growing staff and increasing workload. Built for performing 470 autopsies, in F.Y. 1997 a total of 1,322 autopsies were performed. This laboratory is on track to receive 150 cases per month in F.Y. 1998. The new facility will allow personnel to physically expand in the areas of computer services, DNA, photography and firearms identification. The Moultrie Regional Medical Examiner's Office has been operational for almost 2 years. Autopsies performed at this regional laboratory greatly improved service to the citizens of southwest Georgia. These cases did not require transportation to Atlanta. The graph below represents the number of autopsies completed between F.Y. 1990 through F.Y. 1997.

Constructed in 1984, 224 INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL DRUG TASK FORCE-GBI provides an assistant special agent-incharge (ASAC) to supervise multi- GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services jurisdictional drug task forces throughout the state. The initial task force was funded with a federal grant and was staffed with representatives from various local law enforcement agencies within a judicial circuit. Over the years, the bureau has had numerous requests to provide ASAC's to serve as supervisors for multi-jurisdictional task forces throughout the state. The Governor's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council administers federal grants, which are used as the initial funding sources for these task forces. Currently the GEl is responsible for the supervision of 15 multi- jurisdictional task forces that work street to mid-level and in some instances major drug investigations in 50 of the 159 counties in Georgia. These supervisors provide experienced, capable leadership and help to ensure an organized and cooperative effort between not only the GEl and the task forces but also other law enforcement agencies. CRIME SCENE SPECIALIST PROGRAM--GBI assigns 1 special agent as a crime scene specialist to each of the 15 regional investigative offices statewide. Each specialist is equipped with and trained in the use of the latest state of the art instruments designed to identify, collect and preserve physical evidence from a crime scene. Additionally, they are trained to reconstruct each crime as it occurred and testify to their fmdings after an examination of the physical evidence. The unit is made up of 3 distinct units, the Crime Scene Specialist Section, the Medical Examiner Investigators Section and the Criminal Investigative Analysis (profiling) Section. FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT--The Financial Investigations Unit serves as a mechanism for removing the financial rewards gained by persons and organizations involved in illicit drug trafficking. In the 6 years following the inception of this program, the unit has played a key role in successful seizures of over $40 million in illicit assets, and has been involved in training over 1,500 officers in the various investigative disciplines of financial investigations. The investigative process utilized in drug related financial crimes apply as well to traditional and non-drug related white collar crimes, and state funded personnel have been added over the years to handle these type of crimes. Unit personnel have begun investigating fmancially motivated crimes such as fraud (to include telemarketing and healthcare fraud), political corruption, embezzlement, theft and even murder. INTELLIGENCE UNIT--The Intelligence Unit acts as a repository for criminal intelligence information. The unit provides specialized support to GEl work units as well as other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Information from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies. An average of over 13,000 requests is received each year. The unit publishes and disseminates the Criminal Activity Bulletin, which is the means of notifying local law enforcement agencies and district attorneys of the impending release from prison, of persons convicted of crimes in their jurisdictions. The unit is affiliated with local, regional, national and international law enforcement agencies.

ATTACHED AGENCIES The following agencies are attached to the Office of the Governor for administrative purposes. The protection from discrimination against any individual in public employment and in the sale, purchase or rental of housing within the state because of race, color, religion, sex national origin, handicap or age is the responsibility of the Commission on Equal Opportunity.

The Children and Youth Coordinating Council, operating through federal/state grant awards, assists local government and private service agencies in the development of community-based programs for delinquent youth and youth who are at high risk of becoming delinquent. The Georgia Human Relations Commission provides assistance for resolution of problems, issues and situations that pose a threat to positive community relations, and develops programs and activities to achieve a positive human relations climate in the state.

The council will promulgate requests for proposals, train potential applicants, award grants, monitor recipients, provide technical assistance, and provide information on funding sources. In F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller has recommended that funds be redirected to distribute 3,100 copies of the "Driving Ambition" video to local groups to educate teens about the changes in the driving laws. The Governor has stated that informing Georgia's youth about the new driving laws and thus promoting responsible driving and reducing traffic fatalities is a top priority of this Administration. The video will be distributed to state patrol offices, driver license facilities, juvenile court judges, public and private schools at no charge to the public. The Governor also recommended $46,000 for 1 public relations and information coordinator position to manage the educational responsibilities of the council.

GEMA staff also provides a comprehensive training program for reservists, volunteers who supplement GEMA's staff during disasters. EXERCISE-The emergency preparedness exercise program is designed to give state and local governments the opportunity to determine how well their plans and procedures will work when they are actually used and identify improvements that are needed. GRANTS FOR VICTIMS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT Federal formula grants are provided to state and local governments to aid in implementing effective drug enforcement and other criminal justice improvement projects. Along with the formula grant program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is responsible for administering and coordinating other programs that are of service to the citizens of Georgia. DRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT FORMULA GRANT PROGRAM-- The grants aid state and local governments in implementing effective drug enforcement and other criminal justice improvements which emphasize violent crime and serious offenders. These funds may be used to support projects, which improve the apprehension, prosecution adjudication, detention, supervision, and rehabilitation of drug offenders. Additionally, eradication projects, treatment projects, projects that target major drug offenders, and projects, which improve the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system, are eligible for funding. A total of $12.8 million was made available in F.Y. 1997 from the U.S. Department of Justice for drug enforcement projects and other improvements to the criminal justice system. The table below highlights some of the local and state projects that received awards. Local projects received 60% of the total awards and state projects received 40%. CRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND CRIME VICTIMS COMPENSATION PROGRAM-Federal fuilding of $10.4 million was made available in 1997 to enhance direct services to victims, and to encourage states to develop and improve comprehensive services to all crime victims. Correspondingly, the Crime Victims Compensation Program provides monies to victims of crime usually for lost wages and for medical/funeral expenses. The Council received 1,274 claims in F.Y. 1997 and made 737 awards. Victims can be compensated for out-of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $10,000. Public awareness for this program will be increased through regional workshops and statewide victim conferences. During F.Y. 1997, the council was designated to administer 2 additional grant programs, the Residential Substance Treatment Grant Program and the Violent Offender Incarceration/Truth in Sentencing Grant Program. The Residential Substance Criminal Charges On Which 24 Defendants Have Been Indicted Following OCA's Criminal Investigations In FY 97 Wire Fraud 28 Counts 21% Total - 135 Counts Theft Offenses 55 Counts 41% Odometer TamperingRollback 8 Counts 6% Conspiracy 38 Counts 28% Counterfiting Titles 6 Counts 4% 247 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services Treatment program provides funds to assist state criminal justice agencies and units of local government in developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state and local correctional and detention facilities. The Violent Offender Incarceration/Truth in Sentencing program provides immediate assistance to state and local governments to contend with the escalating inmate population crisis facing most corrections systems. The program recognizes the need for adequate conventional confinement space for violent offenders-adults and juveniles-to ensure that such offenders serve a substantial portion of their prison sentences. PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS The Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA) protects consumers and legitimate business enterprises from unfair and deceptive activities. TELEMARKETING-over $40 billion are lost each year to illegal telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like the OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While recognizing the fraudulent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. The OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions. The graph below recaps the types of criminal charges filed against 24 defendants. In 1995, with the assistance of Governor Miller, a specialized program called the Georgia Elder Consumer Abuse Program was established to combat the increasing problem of financial abuse of elderly citizens. Our elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for financial abuses since they often live alone, usually have substantial savings or equity, have a fixed income, and are generally more trusting than other segments of our population. The OCA specializes in the education of older citizens about abuses directed at or against them and the investigation and prosecution of companies and individuals who are targeting their deceptive activities at our elder citizens. Of the many illegal telemarketing cases litigated in the last 3 years, the OCA has obtained judgments in excess of $2.5 million, representing consumer restitution, reimbursement of investigative costs and civil penalties and numerous injunctions prohibiting future deceptive activity. 248 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Results-Based Budgeting Program Summaries OFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET (OPB) FISCAL PLANNING AND PROGRAM EVALUATION PURPOSE: Guide and monitor the implementation of the Governor's policies by formulating the Governor's annual state budget recommendations, developing strategic plans, and assessing state programs and operations.

This reflects a 30% decrease in the budgeted number of cases from 120,400 to 85,117, assuming a Y2% continued decline in the number of cases per month. The Governor proposes redirecting funds to support various social services. $15 million will be redirected to expand childcare slots. When combined with $10 million in redirected TANF funds, an additional 12,625 childcare slots will be created, bringing the total number of children in state-supported childcare to 81,625 at a total cost of $142.3 million. Federal TANF dollars are also being redirected from cash assistance to several other social services areas to help former and potential welfare clients achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. $7 million will be used to provide transportation services to persons on welfare who are in education and training programs or former TANF clients who are now employed. This $7 million will approximately double the funding being spent on transportation for welfare clients. Federal TANF funds will also be redirected to expand training and work partnerships with the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). The $4 million being redirected will provide training in specific job skills so successful participants are ready for immediate employment. Another $6 million in federal TANF funds will be used to expand Georgia's teen pregnancy prevention initiatives. An additional $14 million in redirected state funds from TANF will provide the match for over $28 million in federal funds to support the new Welfare-to-Work grant for hard-to-place TANF recipients. Funds will be administered through the Department of Labor (DOL) based on a collaboration among DHR, DOL, and DTAE. The Governor is recommending $9.5 million in state funds to improve the quality of foster care and reduce the number of childrens' placements in different foster homes. Among these initiatives are comprehensive assessments to determine the most appropriate placement for children entering the foster care system, more funding for institutional foster care slots, and an increase in the family foster care per diem. $6,986,250 is being recommended to expand and enhance various adoption initiatives including using private placement agencies to permanently place 550 special needs children who are typically more difficult to place with adoptive families. The Governor is recommending the closure of the Georgia Mental Health Institute (GMHI), a mental health hospital in DeKalb County, at a savings to the state of $12.2 million. $10.2 million of these savings will be redirected to community services for the chronically mentally ill (CMI) and pregnant substance abusers. An additional $14.9 million redirected from state hospitals to the community in accordance with the hospital reallocation formula (H. B. 100) will complete CMI services statewide and fund additional services for the mentally ill and substance abusers. $1.6 million is being redirected to complete core services for severely emotionally disturbed (SED) children statewide. Recommended Department Appropriation as a Percentage of the State Budget $7,594,141 is recommended to annualize the cost of community placements that were established for the residents of Brook Run, which closed effective December 30, 1997, and for clients on the waiting list. The Governor is recommending $3,896,400 to expand community-based services for the elderly by adding 2,061 Community Care Waiver slots for Medicaid eligible individuals. $1,637,250 is recommended to serve an additional 932 elderly clients who are not Medicaid eligible. The Governor is recommending $2.95 million to expand Family Connection sites statewide. Currently in 86 counties, this expansion to the remaining 73 counties in Georgia will enable communities to form local collaboratives which enhance and coordinate social services for children and families. 259 DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Financial Summary Expenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests Budget ClasseslFund Sources Personal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees & Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Children's Trust Fund Cash Benefits Special Purpose Contracts Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Operating Expenses Major Maint. & Const.

Bonds TOTAL STATE FUNDS 1,208,358,117 266 DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Strategies and Services The Department of Human R6sources (DHR) was created by the General Assembly in 1972 to form a coordinated network of human service agencies. Services are provided through over 100 health, financial assistance, social services, regulatory and rehabilitation programs in 1500 locations. The department's mission is to assist Georgians in achieving healthy, independent and self-sufficient lives. In order to fulfill its mission the department is: Focusing on strengthening families; Encouraging and demanding responsibility from both parents in the caring of their children; Emphasizing communitybased services with local partners who share in making decisions; and Increasing emphasis on education, early intervention and prevention. To achieve its goals and objectives in these areas, DHR is working closely with other state agencies, local communities, private enterprise, and private foundations and charitable organizations. The department is also actively seeking to privatize services where possible. Day care, child support recovery, and community-based services for the elderly and for the mentally retarded are areas where privatization has been the most successful. WELFARE REFORM Georgia's new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program was implemented January 1, 1997 and has built on the successes of the state's welfare reform efforts over the last 5 years. Under this program, welfare is no longer an entitlement but a program that provides temporary cash assistance while moving people into employment. Cash assistance is limited to a maximum of four years -one year less than the federal maximum lifetime benefit. Georgia is implementing the program according to these principles: A central focus on work; Meeting the needs of children first; Linking benefits to personal responsibility; and Reducing teen pregnancy. The state will continue to provide clients with support services to help them work or prepare for work. Transitional childcare and Medicaid are provided for one year. Subsidized childcare and Medicaid may continue after one year. Other services include transportation, job training and education, work clothes and emergency shelters. The state is participating in the newly enacted federal Welfareto-Work initiative which targets hard-to-employ TANF customers through the collaborative developed by the Departments of Human Resources, Labor, and Technical and Adult Education. These departments will seek to integrate Welfare-toWork into Georgia's overall workforce development strategy, while maintaining local flexibility to meet the needs of local communities and helping recipients overcome barriers to employment and attain self-sufficiency. The Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations include $14,004,188 to provide the state match for the Work-to-Welfare grant. The TeenPlus program consolidates and streamlines the state's pregnancy prevention programs that include abstinence education, male involvement, and teen friendly clinics. The Governor is recommending that $6 million in TANF funds be used in F.Y. 1999 to expand these programs. Adequate childcare is essential to successful welfare reform in Georgia. Women with children cannot easily move to self-sufficiency without safe, affordable childcare. In recognition of this basic need, the Governor is recommending that $25 million in state and TANF funds, available due to TANF caseload reduction, be reinvested in the provision of childcare. This reinvestment would provide care for an additional 12,625 children, thereby increasing the total number of children served to 81,625, a 18.3% increase over F.Y. 1998.

The program is different from conventional substance abuse programs in that it focuses on the families' needs and provides support services, such as transportation, transitional housing and childcare, which are necessary if these women are to leave public assistance and regain custody of their children. The Governor is recommending $8 million in state and TANF funds to expand this program statewide. 'THRIVE BY FIVE' On October 27, Governor Miller social needs to be addressed in the children's critical years; Starting Points, which helps ensure that parents are ready to care for their newborn babies; Babies Can't Wait, which provides early intervention for children born with developmental disabilities and special needs; Georgia Voluntary Pre-K program, which gives four year-olds an opportunity to acquire the skills they need to be ready to learn and succeed in school; The Family Connection which works under the guidance of the Policy Council for Children and improving the well-being of children and families. The Policy Council framework for achieving this objective calls for results accountability; community-based planning and decision-making; a prevention focus; family-centered service strategies; government streamlining; and creative fmancing approaches. The Policy Council has identified 5 targeted result areas to improve the well being of children and families: healthy children; children ready for school; children succeeding in school; strong families; and self-sufficient families. Additionally, the Policy Council has MHMRSAFunding SummaryRY.1996 toF.Y.1998 F.Y. 1998 F.Y. 1997 F.Y. 1996 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% .CommWlity o Hospitals introduced "Thrive by Five" -- an umbrella initiative which includes a variety of programs to promote and enhance the development of Georgia's youngest citizens. The intent of "Thrive by Five" is to emphasize the importance of the early years in brain development; provide public awareness for parents/caregivers to nurture and stimulate their infants; and link common programs together for greater effectiveness, results, and better use of resources. Some of the programs under this umbrella include: Children 151, which checks all newborn babies to identify health and Families to form collaborative partnerships with communities to improve services to children and families. Funded initially by a $5 million grant from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, The Family Connection targeted 15 pilot communities. Currently, state funds have been appropriated to support 86 sites across the state. In 1995, the Governor proposed and the General Assembly approved legislation creating a state-level policy council to develop and coordinate statewide strategies for 268 adopted 26 benchmarks that measure progress toward these results. Throughout Georgia, local Family Connection collaboratives decide what areas are most important to them and tailor their own programs to meet their particular needs. Overall, children and families in Georgia are faring better today than in the early 1990s. While the state is making progress toward most of the' benchmarks, there is still much to be done. Therefore, Governor Miller is recommending $2.9 million in F.Y. 1999 to expand Family Connection' statewide. DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services HOSPITAL RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN In 1992, Georgia's General Assembly created a State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Service Delivery to study gaps and shortcomings in the 150 year-old system and to make recommendations for improvements. The commission brought together consumers, families, advocates, providers, public and community leaders throughout the state. The group focused on the issues of accessibility, accountability, equity, integration, consumer empowerment, and privatization. House Bill 100, one of the most sweeping health care reform proposals to be introduced in recent years, passed the General Assembly in March 1993 and was signed into law by Governor Miller on April 27. The law created the framework for a new system and called for more local control and strong input from consumers and families. The key to the new system is the 13 governing boards which plan and coordinate MHMRSA services on a regional basis. The regional boards act as the front door to the service system and are the single point of accountability. They assess the needs in their regions and allocate all public funds, both community and hospital, based on regional plans to meet those needs. In 1995, a task force was appointed to recommend an allocation methodology for allocating hospital resources consistent with the mandates of H.B. 100. The formula recommended by the task force primarily addressed services for adult mentally ill and substance abuse clients. As a result, from F.Y. 1995 through F.Y. 1997, the state has made tremendous strides in shifting resources and clients away from state hospitals to community programs: The state hospital facility system had a 15.2% decrease in the total number of days of care. The cost centers that are a part of the allocation formula had a 27.8% decrease. The hospital system had a 30% decrease in the total number of admissions. All regions reduced their use of state hospital care. The regional average decrease was 28.9% which represents 12,771 days of care per region. The percent increase in community funding for F.Y. 1998 over F.Y. 1996 is 17%. In F.Y. 1997, $14,675,283 was transferred from hospital services to community services. The Governor is recommending that another $14.9 million be transferred in F.Y. 1998. These funds will be used to expand services for the chronically mentally ill and for substance abusers. Additionally, as a result of the decline in hospital utilization, the Governor is recommending the closure of the Georgia Mental Health Institute in Atlanta. Services provided by GMHI will continue to be provided by Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta. The proposal calls for redirecting $8.2 million of GMHI's state funding to complete services for the chronically mentally ill. Another $2 million will be redirected to community substance abuse treatment for women. FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION During F.Y. 1997, DHR provided foster care for approximately 19,000 children. Many of these children have been moved from placement to placement. To provide a more stable environment for foster children, the Governor is recommending $16.5 million to expand and improve foster care and adoption services: More stringent screening of potential foster parents will be required along with more training to help them better cope with behavioral and other problems; The family foster care per diem will be increased from $10.70 to $11.1 0 to help offset the cost of rearing foster children; Funding will also be provided to assess 2,250 children entering the foster care system so that they can be placed in appropriate settings; Many children need an environment that is more structured than a basic family foster care setting. Funding is proposed to provide institutional foster care for 1,000 children currently in family foster care; and DHR will contract with private adoption services to fmd permanent homes for an additional 550 special needs children plus post-adoptive services for an additional 250 children. 269 DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES General Administration and Support Financial Summary Expenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests Budget ClasseslFund Sources Personal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees & Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Special Purpose Contracts Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Grant-in-Aid to Counties Institutional Repairs and Maint.

Public Health accomplishes this mission through the provision of2 broad categories of services: Individual health services - direct delivery of health and medical care to individuals. Population-based services activities and interventions that are targeted to protect entire populations from illness, disease, and injury. RANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES Approximately 20% of Georgia's residents, or 1.4 million individuals, receive health services at county health departments each year. However, all Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. Specific duties of the Division of Public Health include: Preventing, controlling and treating a variety of diseases and afflictions which affect physical health, including cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, hypertension, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. Providing services in family planning, teenage pregnancy prevention, family health care, maternal and infant care, dental hygiene, community care for the elderly, malnutrition, and immunizations. Providing and disseminating health information and education. Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiological investigations and reporting communicable and infectious diseases. Monitoring various aspects of environmental health including inspections of restaurants, sewage systems, hotels and motels, and other facilities for compliance with health laws. Collecting vital statistics and maintaining records of all births, deaths, marriages and abortions occurring in Georgia. Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel. Policy Development - using the information gathered from assessments to develop and direct comprehensive state and local public health policies. Assurance - making sure that needed health services are available, either through the public or private sector, that address the health status and health needs of the community. SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Division of Public Health has 19 district health offices located across the state. Each district office is headed by a director who must by law be a medical doctor. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment. In each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay.

"CORE" FUNCTIONS Because the responsibilities of Public Health have evolved to be so broad and varied, there has been much discussion about what the basic role of Public Health should be. To address these concerns, the division has adopted three "core" functions: Assessment - analyzing and evaluating, on a continuous basis, prevailing health status and health needs of the community. 278 DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Rehabilitation Services Financial Summary Expenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests , Budget Classes/Fund Sources Personal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees & Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Special Purpose Contracts Purchase of Service Contracts Institutional Repairs and Maint.

As required by the 1992 amendments to the federal Rehabilitation Act, the division gives priority to those with the most severe disabilities. DRS also provides speakers, seminars, and consultation to state and local governments, employers and consumer organizations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION Comprehensive services designed to rehabilitate disabled individuals are provided statewide through 57 hub offices located within 12 service regions. Additionally, the division contracts with 22 private non-profit facilities located across the state. Services include vocational assessment, the development of an individually written rehabilitation plan based on service needs, medical treatment, psychological services, vocational and academic training, counseling, interpreter services for the deaf, reader services for blind individuals, work adjustment training, equipment and job placement. ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES While employment in the public and private sectors is the major emphasis of the placement process, there are alternative programs for people who are currently unable to work in the competitive labor market. The Supported Employment Program offers support and services for individuals whose disabilities are so severe as to have precluded immediate entry or re-entry into the competitive workforce. Through temporary job coaches and supports within the community, a person can learn necessary job skills while working in a real job setting. The Georgia Industries for the Blind provides training and employment in manufacturing and services to afford citizens who are blind the opportunity to learn job skills that can be used in the private sector. Plants are located in Bainbridge, Griffin, and Atlanta. The Business Enterprises Program provides employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired to become independent business people operating vending facilities throughoutthe state. The federal Randolph Shepard Act gives priority to blind individuals in federal buildings and requires that the Director of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program be the state licensing agency. independent in the local community. Preventing and/or removing people from nursing home care is one of the major functions of the Independent Living Program. Services are provided through contracts with 7 nonprofit agencies in Atlanta, Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Gainesville, Macon and Savannah. Additionally, the division operates a residential treatment program at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute. ROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE The Institute is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation facility which serves people with severe disabilities. Major programs include a 78-bed hospital, a 215-bed vocational rehabilitation unit, a statewide Spinal Cord/Head Injury Registry, an industrial rehabilitation program, outpatient services and 5 satellite clinics. Also located at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute is the Center for Therapeutic Recreation Complex which can serve over 200 patients, students and other Georgians with disabilities daily, providing the therapeutic benefits of recreation while enhancing their independent living skills. The Institute is a major participant in the Learning Disabilities Grant which will fund a research and training center at the Institute for adults with learning disabilities.

The mission of the division is to enable families and individuals to' protect and care for their children and themselves. The division works to prevent dependency and to keep families together. There are county departments of family and children services in each of Georgia's 159 counties. A county director and a local board administer the county offices. The county director oversees the daily operations and administers the programs in the county. The board serves as an advocate for the county department and approves the budget for the agency's operations and for county-funded programs. The County Commission appoints the board members. EMWLOYMENTPROGRAMS DFCS is the state agency responsible for conducting the state's welfare program under the provisions of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This program replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The primary goal of the program has shifted from ensuring clients receive cash assistance to assisting needy families become self-supporting through job preparation, work, and prevention of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Assistance to TANF recipients can be divided into three categories: work activities, support services, and cash assistance. Work activities include job searches, education and job training, and assistance with job placement. Support services such as child care, vouchers for housing, transportation, emergency needs and other necessary expenditures will assist the family toward work and prevent the need for cash assistance. Cash assistance is provided to TANF recipients either by check or electronic benefit transfer. These services will be available in all counties. Services will be directed by the county department of family and childrens services in collaboration with other local public and private agencies. A range of job placement, job preparation and support services are available at the local level but will vary in content based on the availability of local resources. Work participation is a major component of Georgia's TANF program. Adult recipients, including those with children over the age of 1, are required to participate in a work activity. All services are provided in keeping with the goal of reducing dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls when they apply for assistance. SOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive approximately 80,000 reports of child abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigates reports and assesses the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. Over 19,000 children are in protective custody of the state at any given time. Children whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, those of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system or who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoptions through the state. Many of these children are classified as special needs children and qualify for a supplemental payment after adoption. The department has been and will increase its use of private placement agencies to find homes for the special needs children in its care. In F.Y. 1997, 744 children were placed in adoptive homes through the state. CHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement helps any custodial parent or caretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Nearly 245,000 parents were under court order to pay child support in F.Y. 1997. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1997, over $314 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $68 million, of which $10 million were state funds. The program operates from 80 offices in 47 Judicial Circuits. Legal assistance is provided by local Assistant District Attorneys or Special Assistant Attorneys General.

The division is charged by law to: Provide adequate mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services to all Georgians. Provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers. Provide services through a coordinated and unified system that emphasizes community-based services. The mission of the division is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence and self-sufficiency. SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The division is responsible for setting policy regarding the use of all federal and state funds and allocates funds to 13 regional boards. The regional boards are responsible for service planning, coordinating, contracting and resource allocation functions. The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures and monitoring and evaluating the achievements of service providers. Twenty-eight community service boards have been established to govern the operation of public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse community services. The regional and community boards are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice of providers by expanding participation of public and private providers. STATE HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS There are 8 regional hospitals primarily addressing psychiatric and substance abuse problems. These hospitals are located in Atlanta (2), Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah and Thomasville. Additionally, patients are sent to state hospitals by court order for evaluation before trial and for treatment if found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. One state institution, Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serves people with mental retardation exclusively. Four of the regional hospitals have special units serving people with severe mental retardation. The 9 institutions have a total staff of 9,903 which provide inpatient and outpatient services, therapies and other support services to clients within multi-county service areas. With an average client load of approximately 3,597 for all institutions, they serve 19,202 patients annually. AREA PROGRAMS The 28 community service areas are made up of a variety of dispersed but coordinated subprograms serving all age and primary disability groups. Basically, this service network includes community mental health center clinic sites, mental retardation day training centers, detoxification units, 28-day treatment programs for substance abusers, day treatment programs for adolescent substance abusers and a variety of residential programs for all disability groups. Additionally, there are a number of community programs operated through contracts with private nonprofit agencies. This service network delivers comprehensive preventive, early detection, rehabilitation and treatment services for five major groups: adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people who are mentally retarded, adults addicted to alcohol or other drugs and teens with alcohol and drug problems. Clients most in need are those with social, emotional, developmental and/or physical disabilities resulting from mental illness, mental retardation or substance abuse, and who, without state-supported services, are unable to function. With the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each of these clients. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-tenn crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Additionally, community staff screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients who are discharged from the hospitals. The community service programs are comprised of 218 state staff and over 10,000 local staff who provide services to approximately 80,000 mentally ill adults, 13,000 mentally retarded clients, 33,000 children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, and 47,000 substance abuse clients annually.

ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING The Administration Division not only supports the department in budget, personnel, accounting and procurement, but provides computer, audio-visual and creative graphic design services to the economic development, trade and tourism efforts. The department's marketing efforts are coordinated through this division. The Strategic Planning and Research Division provides research and planning needed for all department functions, the Governor, and the General Assembly in the formulation of the state's overall economic development strategy. Primary functions of this division include planning and coordinating resources needed to improve the state's business climate, develop the workforce, enhance development incentives and create the right infrastructure to sustain quality growth. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Economic Development Division markets Georgia as a location for new industries by providing out-of-state and international companies with accurate information on such topics as wage data, labor availability and taxes on potential sites; accompanying industry officials on tours of communities for prospective industrial development; and helping support local communities in their business development programs. The division also assists existing industries in expanding their present facilities or relocating to other Georgia communities. In addition, the economic development efforts include coordinating the support and operations of the overseas offices in Tokyo and Brussels. The Film program, as part of the Economic Development Division, functions to develop and promote the state's film, television and commercial production industry. The staff working in the Film program actively pursue film prospects through direct mail marketing, prospect visits, advertising and trade show participation. The Film program also provides a program of on-location assistance to production companies and coordinates the filming needs of the company with other state agencies and local governments. Georgia Legacy Division is a special targeted marketing division within the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. The strategic focus of Georgia Legacy is to build on Georgia's competitive strengths and seek the best opportunities for creating vital industries for the future for each region of the state. The division's marketing presents to businesses the qualities and character that have made Georgia one of the world's most desirable business centers and corporate relocation sites for targeted industries. INTERNATIONAL TRADE The role of the International Trade Division is to promote the sale of Georgia products and services to customers abroad and to coordinate all facets of international trade and export in the state. Through the Export Assistance Center, the Trade Division assists small and medium size businesses involved in exporting with trade leads, market analysis, trade shows and identification of [mancial assistance options. Coordination of international trade assistance is accomplished through: International Programs--Building relationships with Georgia companies to develop programs that will lead to increased sales of Georgia companies in foreign markets. In-State Programs--Building relationships with local private sector partners to increase awareness among Georgia companies of the benefits of exporting. Trade Contracts--Developing and contracting for identification of foreign trade opportunities in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. TOURISM The Tourism Division's role is to increase the number of travelers by providing information services and by developing a marketing strategy that leads travelers to choose Georgia as a vacation destination. Through regional tourism representatives, the division assists local and regional tourism associations in the development of effective tourism programs. Tourism is also responsible for ensuring that the state's 11 visitor information centers are operated and maintained in a manner that encourages visitors to return to Georgia. These centers serve approximately 17 million visitors annually with travel information and assistance. ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Ports Authority is responsible for the operation, administration and maintenance of Georgia's four ports--2 ocean ports located in Savannah and Brunswick, and 2 inland river ports located in Columbus and Bainbridge. The authority promotes the port facilities to shipping lines worldwide through its sales offices in Atlanta, New York, Tokyo, Oslo and Athens. The Ports Authority receives no state operating funds. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority is responsible for promoting and servicing regional, national and international events, conventions and trade shows which generate economic benefits to the state. The authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome. The Dome is also the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The state provides no operating funds to the Congress Center. AUTHORITY Title 50-7, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. 325 DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM Strategies and Services The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism (ITT) is Georgia's lead agency for attracting new business investment, encouraging expansion of existing industry, locating new markets for Georgia products, promoting tourism, promoting the state as a location for film and video projects and planning and mobilizing state resources for economic development. The department offers services through 5 major programmatic divisions - Economic Development, International Trade, Tourism, Legacy Marketing, and Strategic Planning and Research. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOCUS GROUPS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING In F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller created two new divisions, Strategic Planning and Research and Georgia Legacy. This was the first step in a more focused and collaborative public-private partnership for the department's economic development efforts. The Governor asked the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and its Board to "raise the bar" for our state's economic development efforts. Through the development of recommendations by several focus groups, the Governor has set forth a budget that reflects his priorities for elevating our economic development above those of our competitors in the Southeast, the nation and the world. The focus groups, representing the state's broad geographic interests and a cross section of industries and institutions, reviewed issue areas and recommended the most practical, workable ideas critical to the Department's and the state's, economic development efforts. The recommendations by the focus groups reflected in the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget can be summarized into a few strategic areas. First, the Governor is recommending a teamwork approach to community and economic development especially in rural areas through the establishment of 11 state development regions plus the Atlanta Regional Commission. The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and the Department of Community Affairs will place 2 people in each of the II regions. The 2 DCA positions will be state resource specialists charged with helping plan and mobilize resources necessary to help communities grow and develop economically. Of the 2 ITT positions in each region, 1 will be an economic development officer working to strengthen existing business and industry and assist with rural economic development needs and the other position will be a workforce development specialist to help address the most often cited industry problem. As part of this team effort, the Governor is recommending $732,000 for 8 economic development officers (3 positions already exist) and operating expenses and $1,326,828 for 12 workforce development specialists in the II regions and Atlanta. The development teams will be advised by a Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region. DCA and ITT will each appoint the same number of advisors to the councils. State agencies who change their planning or service delivery boundaries to coincide with the boundaries of the new state development regions. A number of agencies and non-government organizations have already indicated they will change their boundaries to conform to the state development region boundaries. ITT's Strategic Planning and Research Division will utilize the Regional Advisory Councils and the development teams to fulfill the department's commitment to the Governor to develop a state strategy for economic development that recognizes the characteristics and circumstances of each region. A second critical area reviewed by the focus groups was technology, both as a targeted industry recruitment area and as a resource essential to the department's implementation of future programs. The technology focus group also recommended that the Georgia Legacy Division target at least the same industry areas as the Georgia Research Alliance: advanced telecommunications, environmental technology and biotechnology. The group also recommended the addition of an advanced telecommunications recruitment specialist position ($122,943) to build on the area with the greatest short-term growth opportunity. The Governor is also recommending $80,040 to hire a public information and communications officer proposed by the technology focus group and $220,000 to purchase necessary hardware and software to provide for the management and access of the department's and state's economic development data. Also essential to the department's success in accomplishing these economic development goals is having well trained and adequate staffmg. The Governor is recommending $398,555 for internal departmental improvements including $228,660 for staff training and $169,895 for technology information position upgrades and merit system position adjustments. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Workforce development has emerged as a priority issue in economic development. In the past, a company asked about roads and water/sewer capacity when deciding where to locate. Increasingly, human resources are becoming critical ill determining whether a company locates or expands in a community. To begin exploring the critical needs of the state in the area of workforce, the Governor created by executive order in September of F.Y. 1998 the 326 DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services Governor's Workforce Development Taskforce. The Taskforce is recommending policy and legislative cnanges and initiatives to the Governor. As a result of the work of the taskforce, it has become clear there needs to be a focal point for workforce development and a regional structure for assessing and responding to the varying levels of workforce needs around the state. The taskforce is proposing legislation to create the Workforce Policy and Planning Council attached to the Governor's Office and the Governor is recommending $300,000 in the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism budget to support the Council and to initiate programs and activities not eligible for federal funding. To support regional workforce efforts, the Governor is recommending 12 workforce development specialist positions, 1 support position and operating expenses for a total of $1,326,828. This will provide for a specialist in each of the II state development regions plus one in the Atlanta ,area. These specialists, as employees of the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, will be responsible for creating regional strategies and goals for workforce development, establishing regional benchmarks and evaluating performance, coordinating state resources and other workforce related activities. A state workforce coordinator attached to the Council will help coordinate the Council's work with the department's regional workforce specialists. MAIN STREET In 1980, Georgia was one of 6 pilot states to begin a statewide program of downtown economic development called Main Street. Using a simple but effective fourpoint approach modeled on a concept originated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Georgia Main Street is nationally recognized as a leader in practical economic development of its downtown commumtIes with populations between 5,000 and 50,000. Since 1994, the Main Street program has been coordinated by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and the number of Main Street cities has grown to 40. The combined public and private investments of the central business districts in these cities was over 100 million in F.Y. 1997. In F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller is recognizing the importance of this program and recommending $80,512 to add a position and enhance the program's operations to better coordinate the Main Street cities in this state. VISITOR CENTERS Visitor centers are the front door to our state and; therefore, must make a good first impression on visitors. This first impression can influence the state's ability to be a vacation destination to the 17 million visitors who stop at the 11 centers each year. In F.Y. 1999, the Governor has recommended the transfer of the maintenance and operation of the visitor information centers to the Department of Transportation. DOT already maintains all rest areas in this state and will most likely contract out the maintenance of the visitor information centers. The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism will continue to provide the information function at the centers, including providing visitors with brochures, answers to questions and assistance in finding lodging. In fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 1997 the Governor recommended the reconstruction of the visitor centers in Ringgold, Lavonia and Augusta respectively, and in F.Y. 1995 $500,000 was provided for major repairs to the state's visitor centers. In F.Y. 1997, almost $500,000 was budgeted to extend visitor information center hours, 24-hour restroom service, enhanced maintenance and security and special travel marketing events during the Olympic Games. The Governor again 327 in F.Y 1998 recommended $500,000 to make further repairs to visitor center roofs and sewage treatment plants. For F.Y.1999, the Governor has recommended $1,590,000 to construct additional restroom buildings and to modernize the interiors of the Kingsland and Savannah visitor information centers. In addition, the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget includes $1,304,000 to replace the sewage treatment system at the Tallapoosa Center and $170,000 to replace the roof at West Point. INTERNATIONAL TRADE Since the creation of a separate Trade Division by Governor Miller in 1993, the department's trade efforts have focused on assisting companies in targeted industries with export potential. Governor Miller has expanded overseas trade programs focusing on contracts targeted to various countries offering trade opportunities rather than establishing overseas offices staffed with department employees. The department will also continue to work through the Export Assistance Center, providing export information to small and mediumsized businesses in Georgia. Since its opening, the center has provided export information and resources to visitors and responded to more than 6,800 information requests from Georgia exporters and prospective exporters as well as from international buyers interested in Made In Georgia USA products and services. The Georgia Export Assistance Center remains the only one of 13 around the country that involves a true partnership between federal agencies, led by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and state agencies, led by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. In F.Y. 1999, the Governor has included $70,000 for an export finance position that was transferred from the Department of Community Affairs. This position is located at the Export Assistance Center and provides export counseling and financial advice to small and medium DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services size companies with the greatest potential to export. GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY Governor Miller has always maintained that Georgia must remain a Southeastern center for international commerce. His commitment to positioning Georgia for global trade expansion is reflected in his budgets since F.Y. 1992. He has recommended $139,200,000 million in funding for port facilities in Savannah and Brunswick. In addition, the state has invested $84,847,000 million for harbors and maintenance during Governor Miller's administration. Under the management of the Georgia Ports Authority, the Port of Savannah has emerged as one of the premier container ports in the U.S., offering service to more than 100 countries by more than 50 major steamship lines. Savannah now is the tenth largest container port in the United States and the third largest in the highly competitive South Atlantic market. The Authority's growth rate in container tonnage has exceeded 61 % over the last 10 years, and with Home Depot is expected to exceed 75% by the end of 1997. For F.Y. 1999 Governor Miller is recommending $1,500,000 in G.O. Bonds to complete the feasibility study and design of the Brunswick harbor deepening and $4,140,000 for the full feasibility study and design of the Savannah harbor deepening. A matching amount of federal funding will bring the total feasibility and design cost to $3,000,000 for Brunswick and $8,280,000 for Savannah. GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER The authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center, Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The Congress Center is an international trade show and convention facility legislatively created to encourage economic development and to enhance private enterprise. The facility opened its doors in 1976 and, with the Phase III expansion completed in 1992, constitutes the second largest convention center in the nation. The expansions of the Congress Center have allowed the facility to accommodate growing trade shows and conventions such as The Super Show, which draws more than 100,000 attendees. In order to continue to accommodate growth in trade shows and to remain competitive, the Governor is recommending $10,530,000 in G.O. Bonds for the planning and design of the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center. Once constructed, this facility will add 3 exhibit halls, 30 meeting rooms, a ballroom, banquet room and other trade show facilities. In addition to the expansion, the Governor is recommending $3,836,900 in F.Y. 1999 for needed repairs to the original roof and HVAC system of the Congress Center. The Georgia World Congress Center will provide 50% of the funds, for a total of $7,673,800 for the repairs. 328 DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM Results-Based Budgeting Program Summaries BUSINESS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PURPOSE: Expand and strengthen Georgia's economy by recruiting companies from outside Georgia and encouraging existing industry expansions within the state.

The department's responsibility is to educate employers and the public about the changes in the federal and state statutes concerning health insurance, and enforce these new requirements. The main changes both pieces of legislation made in health insurance law were in the areas of pre-existing condition exclusions, crediting coverage with the alternative method, special enrollment, affiliation periods, non- discrimination and guaranteed renewability, certificates of creditable coverage, and the state's alternative mechanism of obtaining portability of coverage when an individual loses group health insurance coverage.

Fiscal Years 339 OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE -- Strategies and Services regarding this product. Manufactured housing plant reviews usually entail the examination and approval of each housing design plan and quality assurance manual. Before a plant commences operation, an initial comprehensive inspection is conducted involving all aspects of production and material handling, along with testing and evaluating the plant's quality assurance program. Plants in operation are inspected regularly. During these inspections, each section of each home is inspected in at least one phase of the production process, to assure compliance. The plant and the homes it produces must be in full compliance with federal and state standards before a HUD label of approval can be placed on the manufactured homes and these homes offered for sale. The Manufactured Housing section also regulates the sale and installation of manufactured homes through inspecting manufactured homes on dealer lots for possible damage during transit to the dealer, for dealer alterations and other violations. Inspections can be prompted by consumer complaints. Section staff handled 1,344 such complaints in calendar year 1996. Presently, section staff have the responsibility of enforcing federal and state manufactured housing standards for the 26 licensed in-state plants and 93 out-of-state manufacturers licensed to conduct business in Georgia. Section staff regulate 621 licensed manufactured housing dealers and 532 licensed installers. FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION The Fire Safety Division, through its Fire Safety Education Program, develops instructional programs on and promotes awareness of fIre safety. The program's efforts emphasize a person's responsibility for fIre prevention and fIre safety measures at home, school, work and other areas. In this regard, the program coordinates the efforts of the Commissioner, news media, State Fire Marshal's OffIce and the department's Public Education section to educate the public on fIre safety in a clear, organized fashion. The program is attempting to further educate the public on fIre safety by expanding its involvement in several organizations such as the Coalition of Public Fire Safety Educators, Safe Kids of Georgia and the EMS Advisory Council. Prompted by the importance and the effectiveness of learning and practicing fIre safety at an early age, the program hopes to initiate and expand its efforts directed at school-age stu- dents as a way of reaching and teaching children about fIre safety. Some of these efforts include the Learn Not To Bum, Challenge ."~~.===0.. For Life, and u0; Junior Fire Marshal pro- grams, as well as the acquisition of a mobile fIre safety house where live demonstrations of fIre safety techniques can be presented to school and public groups. Other areas in which the program is active include smoke detector distribution programs, establishing a volunteer fIre safety education teaching group, and developing the cooperation necessary for joint efforts by the local fIre services and the local boards of education to encourage fIre safety education activities in every school. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS The Fire Safety Division's Hazardous Materials section enforces areas designated to the department concerning the storage, transportation and handling of hazardous materials including liquid propane gas, anhydrous ammonia, flammable and combustible liquids, explosives, welding gases, natural gases and blasting agents.

Prior to 1992, the department functioned as a division within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose of DJJ is to: Provide for the supervlSlon, detention, and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody; Operate and provide assistance for prevention programs; and Provide for treatment of juvenile offenders with specialized needs. Aside from internal support services, DJJ carries out its operations through three divisions: campus operations, detention services, and community programs. CAMPUS OPERATIONS This division manages the youth development campuses (YDC). These institutions hold juveniles for long-term sentences and 90-day boot camps. YDCs are state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services. Within the past few years, there has been a tremendous growth in the need for YDC bed space. The department has been handling this responsibility through rapid expansion. In F.Y. 1999, the division will operate ten facilities through the department or by private contract. The total bed capacity at the end of the year will be 3,007 beds with plans for two other YDCs to open in fiscal years 2000 (Sumter County) and 2001 (Muscogee County) creating a statewide total of 3,307 beds. DETENTION SERVICES This division provides for juveniles to be detained in regional youth detention centers (RYDC) until a court hearing can be held or a permanent placement for the youth is available. Even though RYDCs are designed for short-term occupation by a juvenile, a full range of services is available including education, medical, and counseling. Currently, the state operates a network of 20 RYDCs with a total capacity of 797 beds. There are also contracts with Chatham County and Fulton County for RYDC bed space. In late F.Y. 1998, the new Metro RYDC will replace the Fulton County detention center. It will be a 200-bed facility, expandable to 300 beds in F.Y. 1999 with the addition of temporary bunks. Plans for F.Y. 1999 also include an additional 189 new RYDC beds bringing the statewide total to 1,286. The Governor's recommendation also proposes to add 210 more beds by F.Y. 2001 for a total of 1,496. COMMUNITY PROGRAMS This division is responsible for case management of juveniles, as well as the development and operation of community-based rehabilitation programs. Case management is conducted primarily through court services. This unit provides intake of juveniles, as well as probation services. Court services offices are located throughout the state. The division also operates five group homes: Albany, Augusta, Gainesville, Savannah and Winder. Four homes serve males with the newest one in Augusta serving females. Generally, a group home provides a family environment along with group counseling. Attention/contract homes overseen by the division are similar to group homes, but serve less than five juveniles. They are scattered throughout the state situated in either family homes or other appropriate institutional foster care settings. Another responsibility of the division is to manage the contracts for wilderness camps and outdoor therapeutic programs for youths in the department. Multi-service centers are also run through the division. The centers consolidate DJJ programs and offer services in the evening hours and weekends. Finally, the division runs three non-residential community schools. The goal at these schools is to help youths transition back to a regular academic setting.

"'>, MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The team approach ~\, becomes even more critical with welfare reform, and the department has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Human Resources (DHR) and the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) to further reduce redundancies and streamline their services. The common denominator is the population now on TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and the three agencies have come together to meet the stringent state and federal work requirements. The Memorandum of Understanding: focuses on immediate employment opportunities for welfare customers and persons with disabilities, as well as developing strategies to foster long-term success for these customers in the workplace; encourages coordinated efforts and strategies in the areas of: -sharing customer information to minimize duplication; -coordinating intake, assessment and case management; -collaborating on job referrals; -coordinating efforts with employers; -linking electronic databases and coordinating training efforts; and allows providers in the partner agencies to develop local service strategies so that each may specialize in what it does best. In this collaboration, each agency builds on its strength. For instance, rather than the Department of Human Resources hiring a large number of job developers whose responsibility would be to fmd jobs suitable for often low-skilled people with little if any work experience, this task now rests with the Department of Labor. Already in the business of fmding jobs for people and making matches that satisfy both job seekers and employers, the department has transferred its most experienced people to work with TANF recipients. DHR, in tum, has taken the lead on case management, and DTAE on training. Staffs from all three agencies are learning new roles, as well as how to 364 work together. In many cases, staffs are co-locating to be able to provide comprehensive services to clients regardless of where they enter the system. Over 130 Department of Labor staff members are being located in various Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) offices and other community locations, thus ensuring easy access to employmentrelated services in all areas of the state. The collaborative is already seeing positive results as the population on public assistance continues to decline. CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION OF LOCAL nPA PROGRAMS Due to funding cuts and other issues, it has become apparent in the past few years that additional options for local administration of Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs were needed. In response to requests by chief elected officials and private industry councils (PICs), the department has agreed to serve as grant recipient in some regions. The department took on the administration of JTPA programs in the 14-county Southwest Georgia service delivery area, previously administered by the Southwest Georgia Regional Development Center in Camilla. The department also became the grant recipient for the l3-county Georgia Mountains region when the RDC opted not to continue in that role. nPA Participant Data (F.Y. 1997) Disadvantaged Adults Disadvantaged Youth Summer Youth Dislocated Workers Older Workers 4,361 1,925 6,852 16,304 350 As local system building continues through the three-agency collaborative, the department anticipates more requests for centra' administration of local programs. There are certain administrative GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies and Services efficiencies that make this arrangement attractive for some areas of the state. SERVICES TO DISLOCATED WORKERS Through JTPA (Title III), the department provides services to individuals who have been laid off and are unlikely to return to jobs in the same occupation. When a layoff is announced, an on-site meeting is arranged with the employer. State, local office and JTPA staffs explain to the employer and the organized labor representative(s) the variety of services available to workers. They also discuss the opportunity to file a Trade Act or NAFTA Trade Assistance petition, if appropriate. These programs are available to assist workers whose jobs have been eliminated because of imports or moved to Mexico or Canada as a result ofNAFTA. The next step is to schedule an employee meeting. During the meeting, local providers explain the services and options available to the dislocated workers. They also survey the workers to determine their needs. Training providers discuss retraining options and claims for unemployment insurance may be filed. Finally, either on-site or at the initial visit to a local office or substate provider, workers undergo individualized needs assessments and are offered retraining or reemployment services. At employer requests, local staff provide services on-site. For some large layoffs, career resource centers are established at locations convenient to the dislocated workers. In Georgia, the largest number of layoffs has occurred in the manufacturing industry, followed by transportation, communication and public utilities. In rural parts of Georgia, layoffs have tended to be structural in nature-i.e. those industries that are declining as a whole in the United States (such as textiles, apparel and manufactured homes). In rural areas, dislocated workers are typically interested in obtaining another job in their community, either immediately or following retraining. The employment and retraining options in these areas tend to be Commissioner working with the employer community. Tax rate reductions were passed in both the 1996 and the 1997 Legislative sessions. This would not have been possible but for a healthy economy and a prudently managed unemployment insurance trust fund.
