STATE OF GEORGIA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
ATLANTA 30334-0900
TO MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
Two days ago this Legislative Session began and I was sworn in as the new Governor of this great state. Today I present to you a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2000 which will take us into the new millenium. The sound financial principles and progressive investment strategies that have always guided this state are continued in this Budget Report.
My revenue estimate for Fiscal Year 2000 is a conservative low range estimate of 5.6% over the current Fiscal Year 1999 budget estimate.
We are well into a sustained growth period, and we should remain cautious as many indicators tell us that a slowdown could be on the horizon. However, we have done much in Georgia over the past several years to keep our economy strong. These efforts have encompassed not only economic development initiatives, but also emphasized a strong technical school network to provide for a flexible workforce, a strong and nationally recognized university system, competitive salaries for public school teachers and investments in our infrastructure and transportation systems.
As a newly elected Governor, I have recently heard the collective voice of Georgians who want us to continue making this state the best place in which to live and raise their families. In meeting this goal, we face serious challenges that are going to require all levels of government and the private sector to accept responsibility for some quick and definitive action. The problems we face threaten things as fundamental to us as the quality of our air and water and a safe and prosperous region in which to live and raise our families. In this regard, I have included startup funding for the new Georgia Urban Transportation Management Authority that I am proposing. This new organization will tackle the problem of addressing serious environmental and quality of life issues while at the same time providing a first class transportation system that allows mobility for a growing population.
Georgians also want some relief from their local property taxes. You will find in this budget the first installment on my pledge to increase the homestead exemption to $20,000. I propose that $83 million be used to double the exemption to $4,000, thereby eliminating property taxes on the first $10,000 of fair market value.
In this budget you will see that we are continuing with a dramatic addition to our capacity to keep criminals off our streets. I recommended a significant capacity increase in the Fiscal Year 1999 amended budget and we are providing new funding for the operating costs of new prison beds in this budget. The budget I present to you today includes $48.3 million to annualize and provide new funding for 6104 prison beds in our adult system. However, it is going to take more than just building prisons. I want to explore ideas of increasing education, providing for job skills and strengthening the family unit as equally important challenges facing us to lower the crime rate.

I am especially pleased to recommend budget items that need to be accomplished to keep our focus on providing the best possible environment for our children's education. My budget proposal contains significant new funding, $143.5 million, to keep the salaries of our school teachers competitive. I am recommending to almost double the funding for alternative schools to make them a more effective means of dealing with special needs children. We must make sure that the opportunity for a quality education is not denied to anyone because of a disruptive classroom environment. You will also find that this budget continues my commitment to the HOPE and Pre-Kindergarten programs with $193.8 million and $224.8 million in lottery funds respectively.
We have included a major initiative for economic development to unite the University System, the Department ofIndustry, Trade and Tourism and the Georgia Research Alliance. This initiative will be the catalyst for making our state a preeminent leader in design of electronic components. This effort will help us to continue our goal of establishing a balanced and diversified industry base as we face the dual challenge of competing globally for technology markets and developing our workforce for traditional and other growth industries.
Our welfare rolls continue to decline and this attests to the success of the reform efforts that have been underway the past few years. This reform effort proves one thing; if given a choice, Georgians would rather work than be on welfare. The state has been giving welfare applicants that choice by providing training and other support that is temporarily needed. The welfare reform success has given us the ability to use some of our welfare block grant funds to provide childcare to parents who are working in low wage jobs and who must spend a large percentage of their take home pay on childcare. This budget allocates an additional $30 million of the block grant to childcare for working parents in low-income jobs; bringing the total state investment for childcare to $173.3 million.
To keep our criminal justice system working properly I am recommending $6.3 million to add 85 positions for the State Crime Lab. This will bring the total new investment in the Crime Lab for this Session to $28.1 million. And for our juvenile justice system, my budget proposal includes over $18 million for an array of improvements required to meet the state's second year commitment in our memorandum of agreement with the United States Justice Department.
As you review the rest of the proposals in this Budget Report I believe you will see we have allocated our tax revenues in a manner that provides adequately for ongoing vital services, improves the educational opportunities for our children and makes strategic economic investments to keep Georgia strong and vibrant.
I look forward to working with all you during this 1999 Session of the General Assembly.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation $6,369,390 for 85 new positions, equipment and related expenses for crime laboratories statewide to respond to an increasing demand for services, and for expansion of the State Medical Examiner program. This will bring the total new investment in the Crime Lab recommended by the Governor in this Session to $28.1 million.
$395,000 for 6 positions and related expenses to perform an instant background check on purchasers of rifles in accordance with the Brady law.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

THE ECONOMIC CALCULUS OF THE BUDGET

The Budget Report for F.Y. 2000 registers the fiscal choices which the Governor recommends to the General Assembly. Insofar as they become embodied in the appropriations bill, these choices will delineate the state's involvement in the economy of Georgia. The Report points to the needs and opportunities for participation which the Governor ranks uppermost. It builds in the programs and projects which he believes can reach to these purposes. It indicates the composition and level of funding which are believed necessary to reach these goals. Finally, the Report specifies the amount of revenue which, in the Governor's view, merits deflection from the private sector.
Cast differently, the Report presents the results of an expenditure competition. As judge of this competition, the Governor has been sensitive to the momentum of the state's ongoing outreach into the private sector, to the
advantages of scale iIi public provisions, to continuing
contributions from learning-by-doing, and to the practical call of politics for quick dispersions across constituencies and locations of service improvements, infrastructure additions, and operating innovations. While addressing F.Y. 2000 directly, the Report reaches backwards to gain perspective and reaches forwards to anticipate an evolving menu of "high tech" and globally-imposed needs.
Besides the inter-program review, total expenditures recommended in the Report have been weighed against the withdrawal of a like amount of purchasing power from the private sector of the economy. To the Governor, expected benefits from the proposed participation by the state government have had to outweigh any erosion of the economic wellbeing of individuals and businesses caused by the payment of taxes and fees. It has not been enough that expenditures and revenues be in balance as the Constitution requires for appropriations. Rather, the expenditures and revenues have had to be brought into balance at a level where the net impact on Georgia's economic activity would be clearly positive.
While seeking impact balance, revenue flows have not been afforded sovereignty. Just as programs can be augmented, curtailed, or shifted to suit needs, so the Governor has considered the revenue structure to be malleable if the calls for collections so dictate. Taxes can be cut, rates can be smoothed, and bases can be narrowed or broadened.
Overall, the approach to budget balance has had to be dynamic. Estimates of pecuniary and behavioral impacts have relied upon the demonstrated long-term interactions of various programs and infrastructures with private economic incentives. Revenue yields have been estimated, not from their own record, but from their interaction with private

propensities to produce, to move, and to achieve growth. Indeed, it is this fundamental linkage of revenue flows to the activity of individuals and businesses which justifies this "Economic Report" as an introductory segment of the Budget Report for F.Y. 2000.
I. The Revenue Components The Budget Report involves revenues of several
types. The dominant one is "net revenue", a total commonly referred to as the state's general revenue. In the latest audit (F.Y. 1998), it made up 93.9% of the state's total collections. Taxes constituted 96.1% of the net revenue and interest and fees made up the remaining 3.9%. Among taxes, those on income and sales accounted for 88.5% ofthe total. Taxes on motor fuel (both sales and gallons levies) were next in importance at 4.9%. Importantly, though motor fuel taxes are counted in net revenue, the Constitution requires appropriation of these monies to the Department of Transportation for expenditure on roads and bridges. Net revenues are defmed annually by the State Auditor.
A second revenue component is the proceeds from the sale of the state's general obligation bonds. The face amounts of new bonds issued to finance capital projects are listed in the Report both for F.Y. 2000 and for the years 2001 through 2004. Still, they are not counted as revenue for purposes of budgetary balance. The accounting approach which puts these monies "outside" of revenues and "off budget" is commonplace among states although it is not followed by the federal government. Yet, bond proceeds do enter the Report, albeit indirectly. Each year expenditures are directed to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund for "debt service", that is to cover payments of interest and repayments of principal. The Constitution gives debt service first claim on general revenues. Moreover, the Constitution limits the volume of bond proceeds the state can gain by requiring that debt service in any fiscal year be no more than 10% of the prior year's net revenues. In F.Y. 1998, the state's payments into the sinking fund amounted to 5.4% of the 1997 net revenue.
A third revenue component consists of voluntary payments by hospitals into the Indigent Care Trust Fund. While not drawn into the state's treasury by a tax or fee, monies contributed to this fund become appropriable by the state for medical services specifically linked to Georgia's indigent. The amounts to be subscribed each year are settled by the indigent-care hospital group without direct participation by the state. The willingness of hospitals to contribute follows from provisions by which federal funds for indigent care can be "leveraged" by private transfers to the state.

III. The F.Y. 2000 Estimate The Governor's estimate of net
revenues for F.Y. 2000 is $12.662 billion. Of this total, $12.515 billion is available for budgetary expenditure and $0.147 billion can be directed into the state's two budgetary reserves. The revenue estimate for F.Y. 2000 is $0.685 billion or 5.7% above that for F.Y. 1999. The expenditure which it can support is $0.666 billion or 5.6% above the budget in the current year. Interestingly, growth in net revenues in F.Y. 2000 is more than two and one-half times that experienced in F.Y. 1999 ($0.259 billion or 3.2%). In the main, the

with and in the private sector has remained below levels that might interfere with economic advance. Thus, the exaggerated increase in per capita revenues in F.Y. 2000

90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 Fiscal Year

should not be of concern. The expansion in net revenues since
the end of the 1980s has been driven by

income taxes. This is shown in Figure IV.

Since 1990, sales tax revenues have climbed

16

by 56.8% while net revenues have risen by 76.0%. The virtual absence of sales tax growth from 1996 through 1998 reflects the phased elimination of the exemption on food purchases. The increases in F.Y. 1999 and 2000 merely reflect a return to the trend of increasing sales that follow increasing income. Yields of the income tax have risen by 98.8% since 1990. The tax cut of 1998 will slow that pattern of advance (as did the cut in 1995) but only temporarily. As time passes, net revenues come to be more and more closely tied to the vanguard of economic advance -- growth in income (output) per person.
IV. The Supportive Economy The relatively slow growth of estimated net
revenues in F.Y. 2000 seen in Figure I is explainable in terms of a corresponding slowing in the growth of the state's tax bases. Georgia's personal income which was advancing at around 7% per year from 1994 through 1997 is now rising at between 5 and 6%. Although compensation of workers is still climbing at an annual rate of about 4%, the

gains of employffient over year-ago levels have been drifting downward from nearly 4% to barely 2.5%. With population increasing by only 2% per year, the 4% (and even 5%) increments of the middle 1990s can hardly be sustained. Today, with full employment and little rise in the work-force participation rate, there is little likelihood that the bases for the individual income and sales tax can grow by more than 5 to 6% per year. With corporate incomes levelling, the contribution of the income tax to revenue growth will become even weaker.
Although the revenue estimate for F.Y. 2000 connotes easing economic and fiscal growth, there is no indication that a threat of recession has been built into the Governor's perspective. In economic jargon, perhaps he sees a "soft landing" for the private and public sectors in F.Y. 2000. Be that as it may, a slowing of pace and a recession are distinct phenomena. The drop in the growth rate of revenues to below 6% in no way indicates that the synergisms of economic slippage that produced the rates of close to one percent in F.Y 1991 and 1992 have reemerged.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING

Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) is helping to integrate Georgia's budget process into a comprehensive system of results-based management. Now in its third year of phased implementation, RBB is designed to assist the Governor in carrying out his vision for a better Georgia by supporting a more efficient, effective government and making government more responsive and accountable to Georgia citizens.
When fully implemented, RBB will move the state towards a results oriented budget as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act. This new system will inform the public on the progress that state programs are making in addressing the economic, education, social, and service needs of the citizenry. It will provide state policymakers, agency managers, and program customers with a mechanism to identify successful and unsuccessful strategies for carrying out public policy and addressing public problems.
Last year, state agencies identified program goals and the projected annual desired results for each goal. For many agencies, this process required that program managers identify and collect new types of data Because RBB is a new process, many programs had not collected information on program results and so could not report on actual achievements or quantify projected results. Other programs had difficulty in identifying measurable program outcomes.
As part of the strategy to phase in Results-Based Budgeting, OPB examined F.Y. 1999 RBB submissions to determine areas in which agencies needed assistance in developing valid, useful measures and data. Based on this analysis, OPB once again partnered with the Merit System's Organizational Development and Training Division to conduct a series of one-day training sessions for agency personnel. During these training sessions, participants used guidelines, examples, and team activities to improve and, sometimes, redesign their F.Y. 1999 RBB submissions.
After training, many agencies requested assistance in developing their F.Y. 2000 RBB submissions. When requested, OPB staff provided individualized training and worked closely with agencies' program staff to help them develop the submissions.
Agencies' F.Y. 2000 Results-Based Budgets have improved significantly. While approximately 49% of the F.Y. 1999 performance measures addressed actual results, at least 70% of this year's submissions included quantified measures of actual and desired results. Many program staff have expanded their results measurement to assess the effectiveness of specific sites and program strategies. Other program staff have identified and have begun collecting new types of effectiveness data.

This year, the Budget Report includes all executive agencies, their programs and subprograms, program goals, actual results for F.Y. 1998, and desired results for F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000. The public now will have an opportunity to see how effective government programs are in addressing the problems they were created to solve and in providing the services they were created to deliver.
The F.Y. 1998 actual results will provide a baseline upon which program managers can project future results. As data to measure these desired results are collected, actual progress can be compared to the F.Y. 1998 baseline and the projected desired results.
When fully implemented, RBB will enable the Governor, the General Assembly, program managers, and the public to relate program results to program expenditures. This information will assist the Governor and the General Assembly in allocating scarce resources to best benefit the citizens of Georgia by:
Focusing the legislative process upon the policy implications of funds spent in state agency programs and services.
Identifying similar programs across state agencies and assessing their combined impact.
Identifying successful and unsuccessful programs.
Determining when environmental influences indicate changes in program strategies because current strategies no longer meet existing needs.
Enabling programs to be evaluated and funded according to their actual benefit to program customers and taxpayers.
Aiding policy makers in determining if it is in the best interests of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result.
Enhancing the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in policy areas across agency boundaries.
Enabling program managers to compare the results of different strategies and program sites to identify superior performance, ascertain the reasons for the enhanced performance, and transfer successful strategies to other sites throughout the state.
Results-Based Budgeting will provide state policymakers and the general public with information on how government operates, how policy initiatives are implemented, and the results of efforts and expenditures that matter to the taxpayers.

STATE STRATEGIC PLANNING

Since the passage of the Budget Accountability and Planning Act of 1993, strategic planning in state government has become institutionalized. Since the passage of this act, two state strategic plans and over 60 state agency strategic plans have been completed The new administration of Governor Roy Barnes has begun the development of his new state strategic plan which will outline for the citizens and the employees of state government his vision for the State of Georgia. This represents a growing commitment to strategic planning that is providing a comprehensive management tool to align state agencies' plan with the Governor's state strategic plan.
The importance of state strategic planning cannot be overstated The state strategic plan provides citizens, the customers of state government, with the Governor's written vision of where he wants to take the state. The state agencies are looking for guidance in the areas of policy and results on which they should focus their programs and activities. This articulation by the Governor of his priority policy initiatives guides the state government actions in the direction that the Governor wants to take the state.
The state agencies will then have a template to follow in developing their state agency strategic plans. This strategic management component will encourage innovation by agencies to get results and move the state toward the Governor's proactive vision for Georgia. It will also compliment and will be integrated with their agency's results based budget Each agency's strategic plan, aligned with the state strategic plan, will provide a policy focus and the targets for developing their results based budget.
A new element in the state strategic planning process will be the development of "policy benchmarks" for the policy areas that the Governor presents in his new state strategic plan. Following the statewide implementation of strategic planning and results based budgeting, a seedling effort towards even greater accountability at the policy level of state government began in 1998. This "policy benchmark" effort began with representatives from state agencies meeting in the summer of 1998 to identifY "preliminary" policy benchmarks for the 1998 State Strategic Plan six policy areas. (See examples in next column.) This initiative was designed to be a learning effort for state agencies in the development of higher level policy 'results. ' These benchmarks will assist the state in tracking progress toward achieving goals set forth in the vision for each policy area In the development of the new state strategic plan, these policy benchmarks will playa key role in linking state agency results from their results based budgets to their own strategic plans as well as upward to the state strategic plan.

Governor Barnes will present his strategic plan in the first year of his administration. It will help state agencies in the development of their plans, their results based budgets and in identifYing those broad policy concerns and areas that cross agency and organizational boundaries.
Examples of Policy Benchmarks
Educationally Involved Communities Measures: Number of Volunteers/Supporters Adult/Continuing Education Activity Local Financial/Resource Support
Safe Communities Measures: Reduction in Public Safety Incidents Reduced Drug UseNiolence in Schools Personal Investment in the Community
Healthy Communities and Georgians Measures: Reduced Infant Mortality Rate Increased Access to Care for All Georgians Reduced Pregnancy Rate Among School-age Girls

READER'S GUIDE

The F.Y. 2000 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with the Governor's budget recommendations to the 1999 General Assembly.
This Budget Report reveals the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for F.Y. 2000, which begins July 1, 1999 and ends June 30, 2000. It also includes detailed information 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 General 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 General Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 1999 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fIscal year that ends on June 30, 1999.
The Budget in Brief is published each year 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 current fIscal year in effect.
CHANGES IN F.Y. 2000
The F.Y. 2000 Budget Report is organized essentially in the same format as the previous edition, but there is one noteworthy change. The third phase the Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) program is implemented.
RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING
Results-Based Budgeting is a recent initiative that divides all state government activities into programs. The future of all programs, in terms of their continuing existence and funding level, will be determined by how well they measure up to the performance measurements that will be recommended in the future by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly.
RBB information is presented in two parts-Program Summa!"ies and Program Fund Allocations.
The fIrst phase of Program Summaries in the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided information on each program by name, purpose and goals. The second phase, documented in the F.Y. 1999 Budget Report, identifIed desired results expected from each program during F.Y. 1999. The second phase also refmed and identifIed programs more in line with the state's original expectations.

The F.Y. 2000 Budget Report includes phase three, which involves for the fIrst time the identifIcation of benchmarks against which desired results will be measured. New desired results for F.Y. 2000 are also in this year's document. The F.Y. 2001 document will measure actual results for all RBB programs against previously published desired results.
The Program Fund Allocations section provides the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget recommendations for each program and the F.Y. 1999 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 fourth year in F.Y. 2000, and it has been one of the main instruments in making possible increases in funding for specifIc areas while the state sales tax on groceries was being eliminated and 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 guiding the Governor's approach to the budget. While the impact of redirection is spread throughout the entire budget, it is highlighted in two sections in each department-the Financial Summary and Budget Summary pages.
Redirection requires all agencies to reexamine how they do business. The Governor wants them to study their expenditures carefully and eliminate or downsize those activities that are no longer needed or have a low priority as compared to other higher priority services.
To achieve this goal, all department heads had to present their F.Y. 2000 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least 5 percent of an agency's F.Y. 1999 adjusted base budget. Agencies are allowed to include general effIciency cuts, or reductions in their operating expenses, as it part of their redirection proposals. The reallocated funds identifIed may be used for three purposes:
Fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources.

20

READER'S GUIDE

Fund growth in fonnula 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. 2000 Redirection level could not exceed 99 percent of the F.Y. 1999 adjusted base budget.
The adjusted base budget was detennined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the F.Y. 1999 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 1999 salary adjustments.
Once the adjusted base budget was detennined, 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 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 F.Y. 2000 BUDGET REPORT
Departments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this F.Y. 2000 Budget Report, with each section providing a different level of infonnation about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section.
ORGANIZATION CHART
Each agency's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the major divisions comprising each department. The description of services perfonned by each division is noted in the Roles and Responsibilities section.
The numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October 1, 1998 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 infonnation by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations.
The frrstpage of each summary includes the following infonnation concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests:
F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998 actual expenditures F.Y. 1999 current operating budget F.Y. 2000 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals
The second page of each summary includes the following infonnation concerning the F.Y. 2000 Governor's recommendations:
Adjusted Base Funds to Redirect Additions Redirection totals Enhancement totals
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.

READER'S GUIDE

Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary.
ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The fIrst line lists the existing state appropriations for F.Y. 1999, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for F.Y. 2000 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases and reductions for non-recurring expenditures. These adjustments to the 1999 appropriation total provides the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his F.Y. 2000 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 recommendations by the Governor for the upcoming fIscal year.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
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. 2000 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 fmal 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 to dramatize these major initiatives.

CAPITAL OUTLAY
The state's Capital Improvement Program was expanded last year 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. 2000, the Capital Improvement. Program displays capital outlay needs for fIscal years 2001 through 2004, as identifIed by the agencies.
The multi-year Capital Improvement Program recognizes that most major capital projects should have suffIcient planning, analysis, and predesign work completed prior to a formal request for design and construction funds, and encourages agencies to view the budget requests as the fIrst year of their capital plan.
Both the F.Y. 2000 capital requests and recommendations and the fIscal year 2001-2004 projections are organized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided into 5 project type categories.
First, projects are grouped by such general or common subject areas 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 capital project type categories: Property Acquisition, New Construction, Renovations and Improvements, Major Repairs, and Equipment. The total project costs are listed for all projects. The Governor's recommendation is provided for each requested project.
APPENDIX
Several items of supplemental and general background information are displayed in this section, including the state surplus for the prior 2 years, a 3-year record of authorized positions, historical information and current data about state bonds and debt, an explanation of the basis of budgeting and accounting, an overview of Georgia's budget process, a statistical overview of the state, the identifIcation of acronyms, and a glossary of budget-related terms.

REVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE

The 1976 Session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account up to three percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation.
The status of the reserve for the last 14 fiscal years follows:

FY 1998 FY 1997 FY 1996 FY 1995 FY 1994 FY 1993 FY 1992 FY 1991 FY 1990 FY 1989 FY 1988 FY 1987 FY 1986 FY 1985

LOTTERY RESERVES
Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.
The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10 percent of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.
Funds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $58,143,873 on June 30, 1998.
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 sufficientto meet immediate needs in the amendedF.Y. 1996 budget and left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The Subaccount's balance on June 30, 1998 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of $43,682,957.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1998 total as follows:

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS

State law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.G.A.) 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 $543,000,000 for F.Y. 2000. The Governor recommends $543,000,000 for the following programs.
VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-yearolds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $224,779,234 in F.Y. 2000 to serve 62,500 four-year-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 26,887 four-year-olds, and all other private providers serving 35,613 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,321.77 in base earnings per student.
The reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for F.Y. 2000 for the 36-week program represent a 2% increase over the F.Y. 1999 rates and are as follows:
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
* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for child care sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Family 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 funding includes $19,573,882 for at-risk services including resource coordination services for at-risk four-year-olds and their families. In addition, there is $800,000 to fund start-up costs for the expansion from 61,000 students in F.Y. 1999 to 62,500 in F.Y. 2000. There is also $2.1 million for training of new teachers and $5,148,630 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. 2000 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in 1993 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 scholarship at any Georgia public institution or eligible private college in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE scholarship 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 1997-1998 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 scholarships in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE scholarships in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive scholarships for theirjunior 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 scholarships at the end oftheir sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive scholarships for their senior year. HOPE scholarship awards for eligible students attending public institutions 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 scholarship 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. HOPE scholarships will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG), but second-tier HOPE TEG grants are no longer available.
All students working toward a diploma or certificate 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. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in 1993, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant.

The Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 is $215,000.
The HOPE Teacher Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. 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. 2000 will be $3,500,000.

GOVERNOR'S REDIRECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
The Governor's F. Y. 2000 budget recommends $321 million to be redirected from agencies' adjusted base budgets into higher priority areas. The redirection level changes made in agencies' F. Y. 2000 budgets enabled the Governor to focus spending on education, public safety, and transportation.
The agencies' F. Y. 2000 redirection level reflects improved services from efficiencies undertaken by department heads and their boards as well as the identification and elimination of various efforts considered to be of lower priorities. The chart below shows each agency's recommended redirection level only.

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) provides a wide range of support services to all state agencies and many interested local governments and their entities.
DOAS receives most of its revenues by charging for services as they are rendered. Of an initial budget totaling $174,311,537 for F.Y. 1999, direct state funds totaled only $41,586,669,or24%.

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Strategies and Services

The

Department

of

Administrative Services (DOAS)

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: Phoenix Program

(replacement of the state's mainframe

computer financial accounting

systems), Order Process Improvement

Project, conversion to the Statewide

Transport Network, implementation

of the state purchasing card program,

privatization of state fuel card

management program, and

development of the alternative fuels

program.

PHOENIX PROGRAM The state, prompted by the need
to make the its financial accounting systems compliant with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards, and the problem of remediating these same systems to become Year 2000 compliant, is replacing these systems in an effort called the Phoenix Program. The department, because it is responsible for maintaining these mainframe computer systems, is the primary agency charged with implementing the replacement for the current systems under the guidance of the Phoenix Steering Committee. This committee is comprised of representatives of the Office of Planning and Budget, Legislative Budget Office, Department of Audits, DOAS and State Merit System.
When the project is completed, the present assortment of financial, purchasing, property inventory and personnel information and accounting systems will be replaced by software modules which are Year 2000 compliant, and can be upgraded easily as industry standards and technology change, and as GAAP fmancial reporting standards are revised. Implementation of these replacement systems began in August 1998 and is slated to be fmished by July 1999.

ORDER PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
In September 1997, the department, after a review of its customer service operation, initiated the Order Process Improvement Project (OPIP) as the primary means of improving and expanding its ability to efficiently and effectively respond to customer needs regarding products and services acquired from DOAS. When completed, this project will have completely revamped the way customer service activities are organized and performed within DOAS.
The Project's objective is to redesign and develop standard operating processes to meet several objectives:
Reduce the time to process orders, procure items and bill for services.
Improve the ability of DOAS and its customers to determine the status of an order.
Improve inventory accuracy and lower the amount of money invested in inventory.
Streamline work and eliminate duplicate processes within the department.
Automate the redesigned operating processes to the extent feasible.
Convert to operating systems and practices which support the use of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) compliant accounting.
Replace existing department internal operations computer systems which are not Year 2000 compliant.
Several recommendations have resulted from this project and are currently being implemented. Two major recommendations are the consolidation of all the department's customer service activities into a central customer service center; and identifying all functions related to procurement, inventory and warehousing and organizing them into a single section within the department. The central customer
60

service center is scheduled to begin as a pilot operation during F.Y. 1999 with the entire program expected to be implemented by the first quarter of F.Y.2000.
Once the Project is complete, the department hopes to realize significant gains in product and service delivery, and in its customer service performance. These gains are anticipated to allow the department to operate more efficiently and at less cost in these areas.
STATEWIDE TRANSPORT NETWORK
In an effort to ascertain how and to what extent the state's video, audio and data network infrastructure must be updated due to changing technology and network customer needs, the department, in association with the Information Technology Policy Council, the Georgia Tech Communications Systems Center and several customers, conducted an analysis of the state's current network infrastructure. From this study, plans and requirements were developed to modernize the state's present network infrastructure. The resulting Statewide Transport Network (STN), which will be installed in phases over the next several years, possesses a number of advantages over the present more limited and increasingly outdated system. These advantages include additional capacity and bandwidth for video, audio and data transmission; wider range of services and features; faster response times; greater reliability; enhanced transmission security; and state of the art technology. The installation of the STN should help carry the state's networking capabilities and economic development opportunities well into the future.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE PURCHASING CARD PROGRAM
The department in its ongoing effort to make the purchasing process for state agencies more flexible,

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES - Strategies And Services

responsive and less expensive, has issued to and is now allowing state agencies to use purchasing cards for purchases of $2,500 or less. Using the purchasing card eliminates the excessive time and paperwork formerly necessary to process orders for small value items, allowing items to be obtained more promptly with a significantly reduced administrative cost. The bank vendor 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 monitor the purchases being made, assure the purchases are valid, and that the card is being used properly. After the invoice has been reviewed and reconciled, the agency pays the bank vendor with a single check, as opposed to the numerous checks the non-card purchase approach requires. Since most of the card information is transmitted electronically between the bank and the agencies, the transfer of purchasing information to agency accounting offices is more accurate and timely. Under the purchasing card arrangement, an added benefit to companies selling small value goods to the state is that they are paid through the bank within three days. Conversely, in the case of a non-card purchase, payment through the agency would take several days to several weeks due to the extra paperwork and processing time associated with non-card purchases.

The department is aiming to eventually convince all agencies and institutions to enroll in the purchasing card program, and have the amount of 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 is 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 has now fully implemented the program. With the program fully operational, the state 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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Agriculture is responsible for enforcing laws and conducting programs safeguarding the quality of agricultural products and encouraging growth in the productivity and income of the state's agricultural industry. The department's efforts in these areas are also designed 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 seasonal/local 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 eight 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 conducts 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.

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 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 148 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 in 1995 with the

commencement of the voluntary

inspection program concerning ratite

(Le. 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, now fully implemented, 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

conjunction with local governments and organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 27:3,000 pounds of chipped plastic in F.Y. 1999 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. Since F.Y.

inspections whenever possible. 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

1995, pesticide collections have been made in a total of 13 counties (Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Crisp, Dooly, Houston, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Peach, Schley and Sumter). A pilot program has been implemented in Screven County.

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

83

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services

publicizing and displaying Georgia products at food and trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing broadening 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 the six 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 7,100 service stations and test approximately 15,500 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 10 inspectors assigned to this licensing and enforcement program inspect over 2,000 establishments and respond to nearly 300 complaints annually.

ENHANCEMENTS 1. Expand the use of funds originally appropriated for the Export Assistance Loan Fund to include the Downtown Redevelopment Revolving Loan Fund.

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 merger with the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority (GHFA), the department's mission has been 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 are provided to local governments primarily through the divisions of Business. and Financial Assistance, Planning and Environmental Management, External Affairs, Housing and Finance, and Rental Assistance.
REGIONAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
In recent years, the Department of Community Affairs has focused attention on the many community problems that transcend city and county boundaries. The department has addressed these issues by providing fmancial and technical assistance to Georgia's communities. In the area of fmancial assistance, the targeted regional assistance grant program was created in F.Y. 1998 for multi-county or regional projects. In F.Y. 1999, six projects involving 18 counties received $1.731 million in funding from this program through the Department of Community Affairs and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority.
In an effort to strengthen the state's support for community and economic development, the department partnered with the

Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism (ITT) in F.Y. 1999 to provide more technical assistance and state resources for regional and rural development. Regional development teams consisting of 2 DCA positions in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta were implemented to assist communities in identifying state resources, to facilitate regional or multi-governmental projects, and to provide technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. A Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region advises each regional team.
Drawing from discussions among the Regional Advisory Councils and information gathered by the regional development teams, the Governor is recommending the implementation of a Downtown Redevelopment Fund in F.Y. 2000. This fund would assist non-entitlement cities whose downtown commercial areas have a significant number of commercial structures over 50 years old and a high percentage of empty storefronts or documentation of an immediate threat to the downtown's commercial viability. This fund will be fmanced by expanding the use of $2,000,000 in funds originally appropriated for the Export Loan Guarantee Fund in GHFA to include downtown redevelopment. The Governor's recommendation will allow the use of the $2,000,000 for both loan funds.
The department also assists Georgia's smaller cities through the Better Hometown Program. The Better Hometown Program is a public-private partnership between DCA, the Georgia Power Company, The University System of Georgia, and the Georgia Municipal Association that assists in the revitalization efforts of cities with populations between 1,000 and 5,000. Better Hometown status is awarded through a competitive process to communities that demonstrate a commitment to revitalizing their

downtown areas. The Governor is recommending an additional $70,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget for the department to expand contracts for technical assistance to Better Hometown communities.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The department provides
economic development and community investment assistance to local governments through administration of a number of grant programs. The federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) supports several programs that assist Georgia's communities.
The CDBG 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 facility projects that primarily benefit low and moderate income persons. These projects can include the extension of water lines, installment of sewer, construction of curbs and gutters, and other public infrastructure improvements. CDBG has also funded housing rehabilitation projects and the construction of community facilities such as health centers and senior centers.
The state funded Regional Economic Business Assistance Grant (REBA) Program provides flexible and timely fmancial assistance to economic development projects that create or retain jobs. The department grants awards for direct economic development assistance based on 8 criteria: jobs created (or retained);

108

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services

total private capital investment; economic 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 the retention and recruitment of companies.
The department seeks the advice of other state agencies such as the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism before making the fmal assessment of projects eligible for REBA grant funds. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor has recommended $4,963,750 for REBA.
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 fmancing 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.
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 participant 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 (GEFA) provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. The Governor is recommending $20 million in general obligation bonds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to continue state support for the loan program. This installment of $20 million will create a revolving loan fund for the Authority with a guaranteed repayment stream of $20 million. This repayment stream will insure that Georgia communities will always have funds available to address necessary water and sewer infrastructure needs. In addition to state funds, the Authority administers the disbursement of federal energy program funds and federal drinking water funds to assist Georgia communities.
The F.Y. 2000 recommendation includes $3 million in G.O. bonds for

the remediation and removal of stateowned fuel storage tanks. This is the initial installment in a projected $25 million program necessary to prevent long term pollution problems and meet federal requirements. The state has already met federal requirements for the replacement and upgrade or closure of storage tanks by December 1998. Georgia must now comply with current law that states closed tanks must be removed and sites remediated within 12 months of closing. Due to the abundance of tanks the state closed, the Environmental Protection Division is allowing flexibility on the deadline as long as a viable program is in place to address the issue. At issue are 1,408 tanks that require .removal and remediation. At least 121 of these sites have documented contamination.
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. Operations for the Music Hall of Fame were merged with the Department of Community Affairs in F.Y. 1999, allowing for increased efficiencies in management.
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. The museum library provides scholars, music aficionados and others a history of music via collections, interviews, and photography. The Governor is recommending $873,008 to support the operations of the Music Hall of Fame in F.Y. 2000.
The grand opening for the Sports Hall of Fame Museum is tentatively scheduled for April 1999. The 43,000 square foot museum is on a site adjacent to the Georgia Music Hall of

Fame and the Douglas Theater. A total of $8.4 million was previously authorized by the legislature to plan, design, and construct the museum. The museum's exhibit theme will capture a good balance between interactive and static displays that foster a higher level of learning and entertainment.
Within each of these areas, display themes take and capture a variety of perspectives at different levels of sports - grade and middle school sports, high school, amateur, college and professional. In addition to exhibit areas, the museum includes instructional facilities, an auditorium, a gift shop, food service areas, exhibit support space, library and archives area, and administrative offices.
The Governor is recommending $83,150 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to upgrade archival equipment and storage preservation facilities in anticipation of the April 1999 opening. The Governor is also recommending $832,984 in F.Y. 2000 for state operating support for the Sports Hall of Fame

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Corrections (DOC) administers the prison and probation sentences of offenders adjudicated by Georgia courts. More than 41,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 138,000 offenders are on probation, 4,400 whom are in residential programs.
The mission of the DOC 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, DOC provides programs that offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law-abiding citizens.
DOC 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. DOC provides legally mandated services in the areas of physical and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services and recreation.
DOC 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 DOC institutions include: State Prisons (41). 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 (15). 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. DOC 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
5 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 Georgia

BED-SPACE MANAGEMENT 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. The Governor authorized DOC in F.Y. 1999 to redirect funds within the department to open 750 additional beds throughout the prison system.
By the end of F.Y. 2000 opening a total of 6,104 prison, transitional, detention and work camp 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 and 2000 are Smith (192-beds), Washington (192-beds), Augusta Medical (384-beds), Macon (384beds), Coastal (384-beds), and Walker (192-beds). Contract prison beds to open are Charlton (1,000beds), Coffee (1,000 beds) and Wheeler (1,000 beds). A transitional center (200-beds) is recommended by the Governor to open in Savannah. Also during F.Y. 2000, a total of 576 detention beds will open in Houston, Paulding and Terrell counties.
The Governor in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget recommended $66,808,625 state funds and $8,353,100 matching federal funds to construct 2,000 inmate beds to be operated by the Department. These

beds would be available in F.Y. 2002 to address the growing prison population. The Governor is also recommending opening 600 transitional center or work camp beds in F.Y. 2000. Both of the Governor's proposals include the option to alter the proposed bed plans to provide a mix of bed space based on an evaluation of the projected profile of the prison population. This option would result in an increase in diversity and number of beds added after consideration of proposals to expand county correctional facility space and other alternative or transitional bed space proposals.
The Governor in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget has authorized the Department to use $1,094,000 in existing bonds and $9,846,900 in matching federal funds to construct a

192-bed death row addition at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison. The death row addition would be available in F.Y. 2002. The Department of Corrections will have available 44,218 inmate beds by the end ofF.Y. 2000 to serve the growing inmate population.
JAIL BACKLOG County jails are operated by local
authorities and are used for pre-trial detention and post conviction confinement pending pick-up by DOC. 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.

Georgia's jail backlog for individuals sentenced to state prison stood at 1,855. By the end of F.Y. 1998, it had risen to 3,309 and by October 1998, the jail backlog was at 3,014.
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. Probationers, unless 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. 1998, the backlog for parole and probation violators stood at 1,565. By the end of F.Y. 1998, it had dropped to 712 and by October 1998, the number of parolees and probationers held in county jails was 597.
During October 1998 the Department of Community Affairs reported the number of individuals in county jails at 28,831. The number consisted of 17,874 awaiting trial, 7,346 county/other, 597 probation and parole issues, and 3,014 sentenced to state prisons.
During F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000 the department will be opening the

authorized bed expansions, which should reduce the number of inmates in county jails sentenced to DOC.
PROBATION SUPERVISION To effectively meet the
department's mission of public safety, the probation division uses a RiskBased Supervision Model to supervise probationers. Using an offender classification system and this supervision model helps insure that those offenders presenting the greatest risk to Georgia's citizens will receive the greatest share of the supervision resources.
The implementation of the RiskBased Supervision Model came 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% misdemeanants. The June 1998 probation population consisted of 78% felons and 22% misdemeanants.
The change in the probation population has required the Probation Division to prioritize the allocation of its field resources. The model sets caseload capacity limits for maximum and high levels of supervision. 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. 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 caseloads. The goal is to protect victims and to help prevent any additional crimes against new victims.
EDUCATION The Department of Corrections
currently has 17 Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing 12,196 hours of instruction to inmates. During F.Y. 1999 the department will bring on line 4 additional sites, which are currently running at different levels of utilization. With the 4 sites up and running the department is projected to have over 15,000 hours available for the inmate population at 21 sites and are projecting enrollment of7,583 inmates during F.Y. 1999.

The Department of Corrections, by changing over to part-time teachers, conducting class at night and using the GSAMS and Video Tape Educational Programming has increased enrollment by 60 percent over the F.Y. 1997 enrollment level.
The Department of Corrections, utilizing the GSAMS, has contracted with Thomas Technical Institute to provide GED classes at all sites, introduce computer literacy to the inmates, to conduct vocational programs for the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program and On the Job Training for work detail supervisors.
ELECTRONIC MONITORING The Board of Pardons and
Paroles has operated an electronic monitoring program since November 1991. Electronic monitoring (EM) is an enhancement to supervision that has been recognized as a tool to provide additional surveillance and control for a selected parolee population.

Electronic monitoring does not

provide continuous knowledge of the

offender's whereabouts, but rather it

is a means of knowing when an

offender is not at a prescribed

location. The purpose of electronic

monitoring is to place a parolee

within a structured and controlled

environment. Electronic monitoring

is most effectively used in

conjunction with other supervision

and rehabilitative strategies, not

alone. Studies have shown that,

combined with appropriate case

supervision, electronic monitoring

can increase the likelihood of parole

success.

During F.Y. 2000, the number of

electronic monitoring units is

projected at 980 units, with an

average cost of $3.10 per offender per

day. These units will continue to be

utilized to expand the types of

parolees placed under electronic

monitoring.

The electronic

monitoring program will be used in

conjunction with the Specialized

Parole Supervision program (SPS) to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risklhigh need parolees.
AUTOMATION OFFENDER RECORDS
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- The Parole Board will have migrated from paper documents to electronically stored documents (or images) for all new cases entering the Department of Corrections by the end of F.Y. 1999. One of the challenges in F.Y. 2000 is to expand this document management system so that the existing inmate files are converted to electronic form.
Once current cases are converted to the document management system, the field staff will add information to an electronic file at the time investigations are being completed. The case material will be built from its earliest stages in this new format soon after a convicted person is incarcerated into the Department of Corrections' system. The data that originates at the parole sites will be available for the first time. It will be fully integrated into one system from which many people can draw data for analysis.
The Offender Records Management System and the Case Management will allow the board to be more flexible in changing its focus as needs change. It is this flow of data that will better equip managers at all levels to supervise the ever increasing population of parolees. The board will also be able to report to other entities of the state, such as Office of Planning and Budget and others, with much more analytical information.
CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- For too long, the Parole Board has had to rely on data gleaned from reports that have been produced manually and then tallied by hand.

This has resulted in insufficient reporting of caseload management processes, as well as those newer board initiatives such as electronic monitoring, drug testing, counselor referrals and cognitive restructuring. The agency has fully implemented the new case management system. Now each parole officer has a laptop computer that is connected to the document management system.
The case management system allows the board to quickly evolve from a document/text driven system to a data/information driven environment which connects directly, the field personnel with the central office's clemency process.

SPECIALIZATION

CLASSIFICAnON/CASE

MANAGEMENT -- The Board of

Pardons and Paroles uses the results

driven supervision model for parolee

supervision and case management. In

this model, officer interaction is

designed to focus on the outcome of

supervision, producing a compliant,

law-abiding parolee.

Parolees

continue to be classified into 1 of 3

levels of supervision based on a

formal, instrument-based assessment

of the risk they present in the

community. The higher their risk, the

higher the level of supervision.

Supervision activities are a

combination of surveillance,

monitoring and intervention activities

customized to each parolee to ensure

their compliance with the conditions

of parole and the safety of the

community.

Certain groupings of parolees

require more intensive supervision

due to the heightened risk they

present or to the special needs or

problems they exhibit. Continuing

expansion of the board's Specialized

Parole Supervision program (SPS) is

underway. By integrating the SPS program with the board's very successful electronic monitoring program (EM) these offenders can be successfully managed on parole supervision. Parolee groupings targeted for the SPSIEM program include boot camp parolees, sex offenders, violent offenders and parolees with drug and alcohol problems. These high risklhigh need parolees will be supervised on reduced caseloads and generally be placed on electronic monitoring to ensure that they receive intensive services to remain safely in the community.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING PROGRAM - A core component of results-driven supervision is substance abuse treatment for parolees whose past or current alcohol or other drug use makes them high risk for relapse into criminal behavior and drug use. The goal of parolee substance abuse treatment is to increase community safety by promoting the productive, law-abiding, and drug free lifestyles of offenders.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles contracts through the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse and the Regional Boards to provide access to local assessment and treatment services where available. In area where services are limited the Board of Pardons and Paroles has begun contracting on a part-time basis, to provide services within the parole offices. The agency also monitors contracted residential substance abuse programs at Homerville State Prison and Whitworth Detention Center.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Defense serves the nation and the State of Georgia by organizing and maintaining National Guard forces, which the President can call to active duty to augment the nation's regular armed services, or which the Governor as Commander-in-Chief of the State Militia can order deployed in instances of disaster, riot, violence or other dangers threatening the state and its citizens. The department achieves these objectives through its 4 components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, the Army National Guard and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide.
GEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to
provide fully equipped, fully trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation/deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping and housing of its units as well as the evaluation of its wartime capability are mandated responsibilities.

GEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for
maintaining a level of operational readiness, which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters.
OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to
provide command and control of the entire organization as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System.
STATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the State Defense Force is to serve as a
caretaker administration in the event of a full mobilization.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Strategies and Services

FACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
The Facilities Operations and Maintenance program is the largest program within the agency. This program provides the foundation, which supports the infrastructure of the Georgia National Guard. The Georgia Department of Defense currently manages approximately 1,200 buildings and facilities throughout the state, the majority of which are licensed for use by the state. Most of these facilities are 100% federally funded for operations and maintenance, and a significant number require 25% matching state funds. The industrial type facilities and the heavy equipment repair shops fall into this category. The balance of the facilities comprises of 69 National Guard armories and a number of office buildings at headquarters. These facilities are 100% state supported as required by law. The Governor has recommended $300,000 in F.Y. 2000 for roof replacements for armories and other repair work that will be eligible for federal matching funds.
In addition to the portion of the program that receives federal and state appropriations, the armories are rented as community centers, used for meetings and conferences, voting precincts, and a host of other activities. These funds historically have been reinvested into the facilities, which have generated the revenues.
To maximize the use of state funding, some accomplishments have been made. The department has reduced facility-operating costs through consolidation at the Army National Guard Headquarters, closed 10 armories, and renegotiated utility rates.
MILITARY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
The Military Relations program provides assistance to approximately 13,000 Georgia National Guardsmen, active and retired, as well as their

families,

during

military

mobilizations. The program also

provides information and assistance

to retirees in order to secure for them

all of the benefits and entitlements for

which they legally qualify. Casualty

assistance is also provided to the

families of deceased guard members.

YOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM
The Youth Challenge Program, which is operated by the Georgia National Guard, a division of the Georgia Department of Defense, provides at-risk youth between 16 to 19 years of age the opportunity to earn a High School Graduation Equivalency Degree and acquire valuable life skills.
The program is based at the National Guard Training Center at Fort Stewart. Military personnel, functioning as platoon leaders and mentors, teach and train the students during the 22-week residential program that is conducted twice a year. As a complement to the

military setting, students live in military type dormitories, eat in a military dining facility and participate in vigorous physical activities.
During the course of the residential program, students are immersed in a military environment that stresses academic achievement, and the attainment of competency in basic life skills such as: establishing and maintaining financial credit, balancing a check book, and social interaction through community service. These necessary skills prepare the youth to lead productive lives and avoid destructive behaviors. Since the program's inception in August 1993, students have performed a cumulative 34,624 hours of community service and as the graph depicts over 93% of the students have graduated with a graduation equivalency degree.
Upon graduation, the residential phase is completed and the students move into a post-residential phase, which will continue to assist the students in identifying and

With

continued guidance and support from

monitored for at least six months after

graduation.

This relationship

provides the students with support

while they are transitioning from the

program to another productive phase

in life.

The average cost per student

enrolled in the Youth Challenge

Program is approximately $9,600.

Governor Barnes has recommended

$916,000 in state funds in F.Y. 2000

to provide for operating expenses in

support of this important program.

These recommended state funds will

be matched with .federal matching

funds of $2.1 million.

STATE DEFENSE FORCE The Georgia State Defense Force
provides for an organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response volunteer force and civilian relief organization in impending or actual emergencies to assure the welfare and safety of the citizens.

This program provides welltrained and equipped volunteer individuals and leaders to perform duties as they may be called upon. These activities include search and rescues, which augment the ability of other agencies to perform their missions. State funds provide for minimal support.
COUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS The Georgia National Guard
provides ground reconnaissance and observation support to requesting drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) by providing personnel and equipment necessary to perform operations for the purpose of drug interdiction and eradication. Upon request by state agencies, the guard also provides personnel to research and document information necessary to establish probable cause. Georgia National Guard personnel are also assigned to perform tasks which include but are not limited to operational planning, transportation for elements of DLEAs, assisting in

information gathering, provide security and crowd control, marking and cataloging evidence found at the scene, and assisting in the dismantling of crime scenes.
HEADQUARTERS 21 The Headquarters 2 I Project
analyzed the department's business processes and realigned resources to optimize effectiveness and increase efficiency. The project identified and recommended that the Directorate of Organization and Workforce Development be established to service and manage the department's resources. Examples include: the sound framework that has been erected to manage all human resource issues, both federal and state, and the consolidation of support services that have historically been fragmented due to the service being delineated along federal, state or military lines.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT In Georgia, as well as nationwide,
the last 15 years have seen a focus on improving the nation's public schools and an improvement in student achievement. Even though per pupil expenditures continue to increase and our efforts are focused, student achievement has not risen as fast as it should. And, the United States is even beginning to fall behind in areas where we once held supremacy. For example a 1998 report found that the United States' high school graduation rates are now trailing other developed nations, such as Poland, Sweden and South Korea.
The nation is concerned that our children are not only lacking basic knowledge of reading, writing, and mathematics, but are not acquiring the critical thinking skills needed in the new millenium. In this national mix of confusion and disappointment, just how well are Georgia's students doing?
Student scores on assessment instruments are usually the "bottom line" when student achievement is discussed. Georgia's testing programs comprehensively assess students' educational achievement from kindergarten through high school. The Department of Education's testing schedule includes both normreferenced and criterion-referenced components to determine educational effectiveness. The administration of nationally norm-referenced tests provides students, teachers, and parents with grade equivalencies and percentile ranks whereas criterion-referencedtests yield results about learning and
mastery of Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC).
The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) are some of the assessment tools Georgia educators use. The ITBS are a battery of general achievement tests for grades three through eight. They are intended to measure how well a student has learned the basic knowledge and skills that are taught in

elementary and middle schools, in such areas as reading and mathematics.
The ITBS are norm-referenced tests designed to provide information on how well students perform in comparison to a national norm group. An ITBS test score interpretation of a 3rd grade national percentile ranking of

Thus, Governor Barnes recommends increasing the Reading First Program by $4,632,785 to add 160 additional schools and adding $5,000,000 to increase the Reading Challenge after school initiative to serve approximately 3,600 additional students over the 7,123 students in F.Y. 1999.

61 in Reading reveals that 61 % of Georgia's third graders are doing as well or better than the 3rd graders in the national norm group.
In the past three years, scores in reading and mathematics have seen a steady gain or have stabilized across all three grade levels. With Governor Barnes' support of programs like Reading First and the Reading Challenge after school program, which focus on reading fundamentals for all students, there is little doubt that this upward trend will continue and be reflected in future national percentile rankings. Further, continued lottery funding for Georgia's Voluntary PreKindergarten program will prepare our youngest students for school success. We may have some distance to travel before our children reach our educational aspirations for them, but Georgia's educational system is moving them in the right direction. Governor Barnes believes in giving the many good educational initiatives we already have in place the necessary time to positively impact student achievement.

Often touted as a crucial indicator

of student achievement, the Scholastic

Aptitude Test (SAT), continues to be a

yardstick held by institutions of higher

learning to measure their prospective

students. Usually taken by rising high

school seniors, SAT scores have seen a

steady increase in Georgia since 1994.

Georgia has put into place several state

funded initiatives which have

encouraged this steady gain in

achievement. Governor Barnes

continues to be a proponent of these

incentives. The Governor has

recommended that the state continue

funding the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT) for 10th grade

students to "practice" for the SAT. The

Governor also realizes the importance

of giving Georgia's students the

opportunities to take more rigorous

academic coursework.

He

recommends the state keep on funding

opportunities for Georgia's high school

students to take more challenging

courses through the Advanced

Placement (AP) program and attend

institutions of higher learning while

still in high school through participation in the Postsecondary Options (PSO) initiative. Governor Barnes is recommending $1.6 million in continuing funds for high school seniors to take AP exams and $4.5 million in lottery funds for 4,596 students to participate in PSO. These initiatives will help Georgia students reach the Department of Education's goal ofthe average SAT score of" 1000 by 2001."
Besides tests that our student's take which we can use to compare them to others in the nation, it is important to have a competency test that measures the knowledge of the state's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). Currently in the final development phase, the Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) will test Georgia students on their required core courses and then be used for diagnostic, remedial, and enrichment purposes. Anticipated to be fully implemented in the 2000-200 I school year, the CRCt will serve a dual purpose of diagnosing individual students and program strengths and weaknesses as related to instruction of the Quality Core Curriculum and provide a means to gauge the quality of education in the state of Georgia. Governor Barnes is supporting this accountability initiative in education through his recommendation of

$864,000 in additional funding to complete the F.Y. 1998 CRCT contract providing a total of 18,000 test questions.

GOVERNOR'S ALTERNATIVE

SCHOOLS INITIATIVE

Georgia's citizens are well

acquainted with the national need to

ensure the personal safety of students

and teachers in our classrooms, as well

as the need to control the rising tide of

youth violence in our neighborhoods.

Today, more than ever before, parents

and teachers are extremely concerned

about the problem of discipline in the

classroom. Data show that no one is

exempt from the problem of school

discipline.

Schools from all

geographical locations of the country;

schools in urban, suburban, or rural

areas; and schools serving students

from all racial/ethnic backgrounds-all

experience problems with student

behavior. Moreover, these problems

are more than a security and safety

problem, but are critical factors in

academic achievement. Many feel that

unless you have order and civility in

our schools, not much learning will

take place.

In recent years numerous policy

proposals have emerged to deal with

the problem of disorder in schools.

While delinquent behavior of students

has been a concern for many years, it received particular attention with the number of schoolyard shootings that have taken place recently. Also, more attention has been given to school discipline with the development of the Georgia's School Safety Act of 1997. In response, policy makers have proposed various reforms, including requiring students to wear uniforms, showing "zero tolerance" to gang activity, putting students in small schools or schools within schools, hiring more security guards, and supporting efforts to prevent school violence before it occurs.
Governor Barnes is committed to ensuring Georgia's schools are places where parents can feel at ease in knowing that the classrooms their children occupy are free of distractions and are conducive to a positive learning environment. That is why he supported the School Safety Act of 1997, which provides support for alternative "Crossroads" schools that provide intensive supervision and strict discipline to troublesome students. Governor Barnes wants Georgia's Crossroads programs to meet the needs of students who, for a variety of reasons, learn best by following a nontraditional path. The CrossRoads program offers an assortment of required and elective subjects presented in an independent study format that uses individualized instruction.
Georgia's CrossRoads programs are often located on a separate campus away from our traditional schools and welcome students who did not find success at their comprehensive middle or high school. Governor Barnes' objective is to implement an effective educational program in which students are assisted in becoming responsible citizens. By providing them with appropriate opportunitiesto experience success as they study, more CrossRoads students will complete the requirements for a Georgia high school diploma or pass the General

170

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

Equivalency High School Diploma Examination.
The mission of the alternative schools is to return students to their home campuses as cooperative members of the learning community. The CrossRoads program objectives include helping students to earn graduation credit, improve academic skills, refme decision-making and problem-solving techniques, and explore educational and vocational opportunities after high school. The program also teaches responsibility, respect, and encourages the development of an improved selfimage.
As a member of the Legislature, the Governor supported efforts to make Georgia's schools a safe place. He is committed to maintain, strengthen and expand upon programs already in place that protect our children. The Governor does not take lightly the task of returning discipline to the classroom, helping troubled youth complete high school, and assuring that our children receive quality teaching in the classroom. That is why he is recommending $1 1,760,905 to improve the alternative schools of the state. These funds serve several purposes. First, they put the CrossRoads program funding on a comparable dollar per student formula that by F.Y. 2001 will erase the wide funding disparities that have marked the program. Further, they allow local systems the flexibility to hire additional personnel for such basic needs as reading instruction and improved security. Finally, $3,500,000 is earmarked to expand the program by an additional 2,065 students.
TECHNOLOGY FOR INSTRUCTION
One of the state's prime commitments has been the placement of cutting edge technology into Georgia's classrooms and schools.
Since F.Y. 1994, over $300 million in lottery funds have been appropriated to put computers, satellite

dishes, and other instructional technology into Georgia's classrooms. In 1992-93, before lottery funding, only 26% of Georgia classrooms had computers and only 15% had distance learning capability. By 1996-97, after

teachers to the many educational uses of technology, the Governor is recommending continuing the $15,401,836 in general funds for Educational Technology Support. It is paramount that our teachers have the

F.Y. 1994 - 2000 (proposed)

4 years of lottery funding, distance learning capability was available to 72.4% of all classrooms, and 62% of classrooms had an average of 2.2 computers each.
The Internet is rapidly emerging as a powerful learning tool for both students and teachers. Using the Internet, students in the most remote schools can access vast amounts of information and knowledge not available any other way. Governor Barnes has demonstrated his commitment to technology by recommending an additional $2,488,311 to provide for continued Internet access to schools and for upgrading Internet access lines.
TECHNOLOGY TRAINING INITIATIVES
Georgia's initiative to implement technology in the classrooms has placed new pressures on teachers to become adept at using these tools to improve student achievement. To aid the integration of technology into Georgia's classrooms and to introduce

necessary knowledge in the use and application ofcomputers and advanced electronic technology. Research has begun to show that teachers trained to use technology to improve instruction can positively impact their students' achievement.
Governor Barnes is continuing the state's commitment to provide technology resources for the classroom by recommending $25 per FTE, for a total of $33,975,257 be appropriated for this purpose from F.Y. 2000 lottery funds.
OTHER TRAINING INITIATIVES
Georgia's Technology Training Centers are an asset to teachers and administrators who want to master and expand technology skills. With new course offerings like INTECH, a full immersion weeklong course for a school team, the successful centers are in greater demand for their services. Georgia currently has 13 Centers in operation, most in a cooperative arrangement between the Department

171

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

of Education and University System institutions or Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESA). To further expand the ability of centers to train teachers to integrate technology into their classroom teaching, Governor Barnes is recommending the addition of a contract instructor at each center and $858,000 in lottery funding to upgrade Windows and MacIntosh software at the centers.
FORMUI.A FUNDING INCREASES
Georgia is one of the fastest growing states in the U.S., and significant resources have to be expended each year merely to provide funding for the increase in new students who enroll.
For F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $135,583,216 to fund enrollment increases of an estimated 25,045 students over the original count in F.Y. 1999.
OTHER K-12 IMPROVEMENTS Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum
(QCC) standards specify the content for kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The standards are the result of the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Act that includes the broad competencies expected of all students who complete public high school in Georgia. The Georgia Department of Education has completed a massive effort to update the state's QCC that has involved thousands of teachers and parents. All

major academic subjects have been updated to reflect a more rigorous attention to academic achievement and mastery of basic skills. Standards of achievement are being raised in Georgia.
To measure how well Georgia students will meet these new standards, Governor Barnes recommends $864,000 in additional funding to complete the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests. Further, Governor Barnes is continuing the funding to pay the cost of Advanced Placement and Preliminary SAT exams for students.
Governor Barnes is recommending $7,000,000 in F.Y. 1999 bonds to purchase vocational lab equipment in 29 new schools to be built in F.Y. 2000 and to convert 9 industrial arts labs to educational technology labs in existing schools. This recommendation supports the state's elimination of the general education diploma, requiring instead a college or technology/career prep diploma. This funding will assist school systems in offering quality vocational programs which meet industry standards.
To encourage excellence in Georgia teachers and reward them for their accomplishments the Governor recommends $3,000,000 to fund increased participation in the Pay for Performance program. The need for these additional awards proves that Georgia teachers will give the extra time and attention necessary to increase student achievement.

Governor Barnes is also recommending the continuation of the vision screening for kindergarten children begun in F.Y. 1999 by recommending $657,120 in F.Y. 2000 to screen the new kindergarten class.
GEORGIA VOLUNTARY PREKINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Georgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive prekindergarten program serving four-year olds and their families of any state in the country. The program successfully combines services from public and private providers of early childhood education in order to provide a high quality pre-kindergartenexperience for every Georgia family that wants it.
A recent study by the Council for School Performance found that compared to results from other national and state studies that used the same rating scale, Georgia pre-kindergarten classrooms are higher quality than preschool classrooms in other states.
The Governor is maintaining the commitment to the Pre-Kindergarten Program through his recommendation of $224,779,234 in lottery funding to serve 62,500 four-year-olds and their families in F.Y. 2000. This represents an increase of 1,500 students over the 61,000 four-year-olds served in F.Y. 1999.

GEORGIA LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
These 2 plans are placed under the administration of the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
SOCIAL SECURITY COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE
In 1956, state legislation was enacted that designated the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as the "state agency," authorized to enter, on behalf of the state, into an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to extend the benefits of the federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system to the employees of the political subdivisions of the state.
PUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM STANDARDS In 1983, legislation was enacted that defmed funding
standards, assured the actuarial soundness of any retirement or pension system supported wholly or partially from public funds, and established legislative control procedures to prevent the passage of retirement legislation without concurrent funding in accordance with defmed funding standards.
AUTHORITY Title 47, Chapters 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18, 19 & 22.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Strategies and Services

ADMINISTRATION As indicated on the Roles and
Responsibilities page, staff of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) has administrative responsibility for 11 plans/programs. Included are the group tenn insurance program for members of the ERS; the Georgia Defmed Contribution Plan for parttime, temporary and seasonal employees; maintenance of agreements with the Federal Secretary of Health and Human Services which enables employees of the state and its political subdivisions to be covered by the Social Security System; and 8 separate retirement funds.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Since 1970, ERS has offered a
Pre-Retirement Program in the Atlanta area for prospective retirees of ERS who are within 5 years of retirement eligibility. In recent years the program was expanded. The programs are now called SERIES I, SERIES II, and SERIES III. With this expansion, ERS now offers educational planning for all members of the system. The seminars provide exploration and discussion of topics such as retirement, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, estate planning and wills. Classes are coordinated by ERS staff with the assistance of outside resources.
GROUP TERM LIFE INSURANCE
By contract with the State Employees' Assurance Department, the ERS provides group tenn life insurance to members of the ERS. Upon employment, a.system member receives insurance coverage equal to 18 times current monthly compensation. For most system members, the amount of insurance coverage is frozen at age 60 and decreases one percent a month until age 65. At age 65, coverage is fIxed at 40 percent of the age 60 amount. For Employee Retirement System members hired on or after July 1,

1982, "new plan members", employee premiums are one-fourth of a percent of monthly salary and the state contributes one-fourth of a percent. For System members hired before July 1, 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 8 plans,
including all 3 categories of active, retired and inactive was 281,537 as of June 30, 1998. An additional 122,673 were members of the Defmed Contribution Plan as of June 30, 1998. The ERS estimates that
194

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 tenninated 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 5 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 1.70 percentage regardless of the number of years of creditable service. A minimum of 10 years of creditable service is required under either plan.

SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM
STATE AGREEMENT The ERS is authorized to enter,
on behalf of the state and the political subdivisions of the state, an agreement with the secretary of health and human services that extends benefits of the federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance system to employees of the state and

political subdivisions of the state. There are over 2,000 political subdivisions (authorities, school boards and local governments). The majority of these are covered by the state agreement and their employees have Social Security benefits. The main activity in this program involved political subdivisions joining the state agreement.

STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Forestry Commission is responsible for the perpetuation of Georgia's public and private forest resources by furnishing forest tree seedlings, protecting the forest through fIre and disease control, managing and utilizing forest products and providing educational programs in forested areas. At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value ofthe state's forests.
Forestry contributes $19.5 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 7,800 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 of the 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 815 fIre departments located in 144 counties a total of 1,250 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 DEVELOPMENT 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.

While its fIre fIghting effectiveness continues to lead the Southeast, the Commission has two areas of concern in its fIre fIghting efforts: adequate training and better equipment.

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 1,250 fIre trucks have been built and leased to rural fIre departments under this program.

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 infonnation 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 infonnation about forest resources, health and productivity levels has significantly impacted forest planning to the benefit of the $19.5 billion industry in the state.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) serves as a primary investigation and enforcement agency in the state's fight against crime and corruption.
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 812 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and 6 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 Serology/DNA Questioned Document Implied Consent Photography Toxicology Latent Examiner Firearms Identification Medical Examiner Services.
GEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the
operation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CnS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national infonnation 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 Unifonn Crime Reporting system. It perfonns audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies.
AUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Strategies and Services

FORENSIC SCIENCES In today's world of crime and
illegal drugs, the Division of Forensic Sciences must be ready to respond to the scientific needs of the criminal justice agencies. The scientific information provided must be accurate and timely to enable these agencies to detect, apprehend, and prosecute criminals. The crime laboratories where all scientific examinations are performed have an ever-increasing caseload and challenges resulting from changes in the nature and investigation of crimes. The number of requests for services jumped from 111,320 in calendar year 1996 to 118,342 in 1997. As of July 31, 1998, the number of requests reached 67,656, which is expected to double by the end of 1998. The chart below reflects the number of requests by service areas.
To address the large caseload increase, new and expanded facilities

recommended $17 million in new G.O. Bonds and $1.3 million in existing bonds to build a laboratory annex and morgue building adjacent to the headquarters building in Atlanta. The 83,350 square feet laboratory annex will house the laboratory operations of toxicology, drug identification and blood alcohol services.

of cases performed by scientists, 85 new positions and related expenses at a cost of $3.7 million are recommended by Governor Barnes in the F.Y. 2000 Budget. Along with this increase, scientific equipment at a cost of $2.6 million is also recommended. These additional state funds totaling $6.3 million (54% increase over the current appropriation allows the Division of Forensic Sciences the largest increase ever. Included in the 85 positions are 17 new medical examiner personnel at a cost of $1 million. These 17

positions will assist the current medical examiner staff and reduce the number of autopsies performed by a pathologist from over 400 to 300 per pathologist.
With these additional resources, Georgia's Crime Laboratory will stay at the top as one of the nations leading Forensic Science operation.
CRIME INFORMATION
FIREARMS PROGRAM (INSTANT GUN CHECK)
The Firearms Program provides a state background check for handgun purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handgun 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 handgun. This check is to insure the individual is not prohibited by law to possess a handgun.
In F.Y. 1998, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 82,740 transactions and 6,794 were denied.
The firearms program was extended in F.Y. 1999 to include an instant background check for purchasers of long guns (rifles). In the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget, Governor Barnes recommended initial funding of $95,463 for 6 positions to begin processing these checks, and in the F.Y. 2000 Budget, $395,000 is recommended for a full year cost to fund the expansion of the program. The number of searches is expected to increase by 50,000 to over 80,000 checks.
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

215

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services

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.
The GBI receives fingerprint images electronically fr(\m law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the GBI's AFIS via a Live Scan device.
Sixteen agencies transmit images directly to the GBI. These agencies provide arrest booking services to many other agencies in their area. In total, electronic images are received from over 90 agencies.
The AFIS database files currently total 1,982,511. Tenprint files store 2 thumbs for each offender and total 1,143,813 people. Latent cognizant files total 838,698 people and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,437 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the above databases. These prints are stored for future reference
Automation of final disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions directly into the computerized 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 GCIe.
CRIMINAL ruSTICE 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 5,951 terminals on the cns Network. During F.Y. 1998, the system processed 126,274,688 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 municipal officials, and media representatives. Interested citizens also could obtain the same statistics through the publication of "Georgia UCR Summary Report".
INVESTIGATNE PROGRAMS
INTELLIGENCE UNIT The Intelligence Unit acts as a
repository for criminal intelligence

information. The unit provides specialized support to GBI 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.
The chart below reflects the number of cases worked by the Investigative Division in the areas of narcotics, crimes against persons, property crime and other investigations for F.Y. 1998.
MULTI-mRISDICTIONAL DRUG TASKFORCE
GBI provides an assistant special agent-in-charge (ASAC) to supervise

There are four (4) major type of crimes worked:

--Narcotics - 136,831 hours --Crimes Against Persons - 164,606 hours --Crimes Against Property - 61,752 hours --Other/MISC - 78,410 hours --Total Investigative Hours for FY 98 - 441,599

multi-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.

Currently the GBI is responsible

for the supervision of 17 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 GBI and the task forces but also other law enforcement agencies.
In F.Y. 1998, the force made 5,814 arrests; seized $39,571,350 in drugs and $2,278,544 in property; and made $701,565 in forfeitures.
FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
The Financial Investigations Unit identifies financial assets gained through illegal activity. The unit investigates major corruption cases, which often involve public officials. During F.Y. 1998, there were 83 total cases, $13.1 million in reported property losses, $1.2 million in seizures, 17 arrests, and 25 financial analysis.
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 financially motivated crimes such as fraud (to include telemarketing and healthcare fraud), political corruption, embezzlement, theft and even murder.
STATE HEALTH CARE FRAUD CONTROL UNIT
Since its inception, the health care fraud unit has met with unqualified success. The unit's function is to identify and arrest individuals who commit Medicaidprovider fraud. In F.Y. 1998, this unit recovered $17.5 million with another $2.1 million to be paid to the Georgia Medicaid Program.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Strategies and Services

A wide range of services is delivered by 8 agencies attached to the Office of the Governor, including Consumer Protection, Emergency Management and various grant distribution functions.
PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS
LEMON LAW UNIT The Motor Vehicle Warranty
Rights Act, commonly referred to as the "Lemon Law", provides consumers a method through which to attract the attention of new car manufacturers and secure the repair or replacement of those new vehicles that do not function properly.
After six years of operation the success of the Lemon Law program is

replacement vehicle from the manufacturer or the repurchase of their defective vehicles by the manufacturer. These consumers alone received almost $9.3 million worth of benefit from this part of the Lemon Law process alone. Consumers, automobile dealers and auto manufacturers alike continue to praise Georgia's Lemon Law Program for its consistency and fairness.
TELEMARKETING Over $40 billion are lost each
year to illegal telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While

caseload continues to grow due to the

sold. Over 3,700 Georgians

contacted the Office of Consumer

Affairs (OCA) in F.Y. 1998 for

assistance. Since the inception of the

program in July 1990, over 25,000

Lemon Law cases have been initiated

by Georgians.

recogmzmg e au u ent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions.
The elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for
238

fmancial 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.
TEACHER PREPARATION AND CERTIFICATION
The Professional Standards Commission (PSC) is responsible for the creation and implementation of standards and procedures for certifying and recertifying education personnel as qualified to practice in the public schools of Georgia. Along with this, the Commission is responsible for the approval of teacher education programs offered at the teaching colleges in the state. The Commission is also responsible for the maintenance of professional standards and is authorized to revoke or deny a certificate for good cause after an investigation.
During the 1998 session of the Georgia General Assembly, the Legislature agreed to transfer the authority of the Professional Practice Commission to the PSC in an effort to streamline the investigation of alleged teacher misconduct. This move places the responsibility for enforcing the Professional Teaching Practices Act along with adopting a code of professional ethics for educators under the control of the PSC. The intent of the Code is protect the health, safety and general welfare of students and educators within the State and assures the citizens of Georgia that the education profession is accountable for acts of unprofessional conduct.
Georgia's K-12 educators need to be adequately prepared to enter the classroom upon graduation. The experiences new teachers have during their first year in teaching are critical to how long they will stay in the profession and how successful they will be. With this in mind, Governor Barnes is recommending $100,337 for the Georgia Professional

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services

Standards Commission to develop a new teacher induction program that will acclimate beginning high school teachers to the rigors of today's classroom. Also, the Governor is recommending $50,169 to support the Profes,sional Standards Commission's involvement in a Performance Based Accreditation Project that allows Georgia the opportunity to participate in the development of a preparation system based on the performance of graduates rather than inputs and activities of the education program. Governor Barnes wants to strengthen and provide greater flexibility by changing old "course-by-course" requirements to competency based requirements that must be met prior to graduation.
GRANTS FOR DELINQUENCY PREVENTION PROGRAMS
The Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) assists local communities in the development of community-based programs for delinquent and high-risk youth through grant awards and technical assistance.
The council will continue expanding its successful efforts to educate local communities, youth and parents on laws and other important issues related to youth. This effort will be accomplished by continued high-tech video productions available free to middle and high schools, libraries, technical schools and the University System over the Georgia Public Television PeachStar Satellite Network. Additionally, copies of the videos are offered free to any group in Georgia actively working with young people. Emphasis will continue to actively market the educational videos and maximize use of the media to get the message to all Georgians.
Approximately $2.6 million will be available for prevention programs, intervention programs for delinquent youth for improving Georgia's

juvenile court system and programs

intended to prevent teen pregnancies.

The council will promulgate requests

for proposals, train potential

applicants, award grants, monitor

recipients, provide technical

assistance, and provide information

on funding sources.

With the state expecting to

receive $5.8 million, CYCC will

administer the new juvenile

accountability block grant program,

which is designed to promote greater

accountability in the Juvenile Justice

System. The Council will involve the

Juvenile Courts, law enforcement,

prosecutors, other state agencies and

representatives

from

local

government in developing a plan for

reducing juvenile crime.

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 (CJCC) 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 $13.l million was made available in F.Y. 1998 from the U.S. Department of Justice for drug enforcement projects and other improvements to the criminal justice system.

CRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE

PROGRAM AND CRIME VICTIMS

COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Federal funding of $7.3 million

was made available in 1998 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 medicaVfuneral

expenses. The Council received

1,608 claims in F.Y. 1998 and made

747 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.

The Residential Substance

Treatment program, administered by

CJCC, 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 confmement

space for violent offenders-adults

and juveniles-to ensure that such

offenders serve a substantial portion

of their prison sentences.

RECOMMENDED STATE APPROPRIATIONS FOR F.Y. 2000 DECREASE FROM F.Y. 1999 BUDGET REDIRECTION LEVEL ENHANCEMENT FUNDS

$1,218,565,980 $8,108,441
$1,212,632,277 $5,933,703

HIGHLIGHTS

The Governor recommends redirecting $57,744,000 in state and federal funds in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program due to a continued decline in caseloads. This redirection reflects an anticipated decline of 21 % in the number of cases from 85,117 in F.Y. 1999 to 67,106 in F.Y. 2000.
$30 million in federal TANF funds will be redirected from cash assistance to provide child care for 14,706 additional children based on an average cost of $170 per child per month. This brings the total number of children in state-supported child care (excluding pre-kindergarten programs) to 84,950 at a budgeted cost to the state of $173.3 million.
An additional $5 million in redirected TANF funds will be used to support the Fatherhood Initiative which is designed to increase non-custodial fathers' participation in paying child support for their children. The Fatherhood Initiative will provide training and education to fathers which will help them gain employment and pay their child support obligations. The Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) will be used to provide the training.
$5,744,000 in redirected TANF funds is used to broaden substance abuse treatment programs for TANF clients.
Another $12 million in redirected TANF funds will be used to offset recent federal budget cuts to the Social Services Block Grant. The redirection will restore funding that supports child protective services and services for the elderly and mentally retarded.
$8,495,066 in state funds is being recommended to redirect 661 Child Support Enforcement staff from regional management to local Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) management. This change will fully integrate staff at the local level and should result in more efficient and effective delivery of services.
$1,475,772 in state funds is being recommended to relocate DFCS offices in Fulton and Gwinnett counties.

The Governor is recommending $1,350,000 in F.Y. 2000 to implement population-based community cardiovascular prevention programs that will focus on changing behaviors that put individuals at risk for chronic diseases. Additionally, this program will address diabetes management and risk reduction.
$13,239,934 is being redirected from state hospitals to community mental health services for chronically ill adults in accordance with the hospital reallocation formula established pursuant to House Bill 100. This will complete target area core services for CMI in the Fulton, DeKalb and Bulloch/Chatham/Glynn service areas and expand CMI services in 10 of the 13 service areas. Additionally the Governor is recommending $1.3 million to complete CMI core services in the Richmond/Emanuel and the Baldwin service areas.
The Governor is recommending $1,960,231 to expand community-based services for 750 elderly citizens.
$1,853,000 is being recommended to implement an HIV drug assistance program to provide triple therapy medications to approximately 200 individuals.
The Governor is recommending that the department use $4.4 million in new federal substance abuse block grant funds for prevention and treatment services for adolescents and for day treatment and residential services for pregnant and postpartum women.
$2,166,634 is recommended to provide communitybased services to 117 persons with mental retardation who are currently on the waiting list.
$750,000 is being recommended to implement statewide monitoring and utilization review of community mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Strategies and Services

The Department of Human Resources (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 1,500 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 community-based services with local partners who share in making decisions; and
Increasing emphasis on education, prevention, and early intervention. 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.

and child care providers. In some

rural areas, the nearest jobs may be in

another county, with no transit

systems available to bring in

prospective employees.

While the unified transportation

system helps DHR clients to become

more self-sufficient, it has also

streamlined services and reduced

duplication. Previously the Divisions

of Aging; Family and Children

Services; Public Health; and Mental

Health, Mental Retardation and

Substance Abuse each operated and

maintained their own fleet of vehicles

to serve their clients. This

arrangement was not efficient; it

wasted limited funds and resources.

Vans sat unoccupied for much of the

day, and others transported only a few

clients at a time. Some divisions had

no transportation services for clients

in certain areas.

DHR

reorganized

its

transportation

system

by

consolidating and coordinating these

multiple transportation services.

Under the new system, one provider

delivers all transportation services in

a specific area. A central coordinator

in each of DHR's 12 regions oversees

the operations of vans and buses for

all clients and develops alternatives to

DHR transportation, such as contracting with private providers, securing grants for transportation services and using existing transit systems.
The system will operate in all counties statewide beginning July 1999. Transportation services offered under this system are expected to grow, since sharing the vehicle pool will serve more clients with fewer vans. Extra van space created by consolidation will mean that more clients can be served, and some older vehicles may be surplused. Thus, DHR will be able to expand transportation services to the elderly, TANF clients, and people with disabilities. DHR will also continue to work with other agencies and organizations to further consolidate, and, in some instances, privatize state transportation.
CHILD CARE Georgia has budgeted over $143
million in F.Y. 1999 alone to help pay the cost of child care for families currently on TANF, families who have recently gone off TANF, and families with limited incomes. Women on TANF have first priority for child care dollars so someone can take care of their child(ren) while the

UNIFIED TRANSPORTAnON SYSTEM
In F.Y. 1999, $7 million was appropriated to develop a unified transportation system to help better meet the needs of DHR clients. With more Georgians moving towards selfsufficiency, the need for transportation grows as well. More people with disabilities are finding jobs, but their disabilities may prevent them from driving a car. Older Georgians need rides to senior centers and doctors' appointments. Welfare recipients need rides to work, training

clients are in education or training programs. The goal is to help these women off TANF and into jobs and self-sufficiency. Georgia, and the nation as a whole, has seen the number of families on TANF declining due to a good economy and the government's emphasis on helping clients fmd jobs instead of simply sending them welfare checks.
The second priority for child care dollars is families transitioning off TANF into the working world. Without this help, these newly employed women would find the lack of child care an insurmountable barrier to keeping their jobs and they would land right back on welfare, starting the cycle all over again. As more women are successfully moving off welfare rolls into the working world, this transitional population will continue to increase.
The third priority for child care funding is families with limited incomes. Many of these single-parent families, including ones which have never been on welfare, face the possibility of going on welfare if they don't get help with child care. Other families with limited incomes, even two-income families, struggle to make ends meet. For them, child care is a significant expense.
The amount of money Georgia spends on subsidized child care has grown significantly. Georgia spent only $18 million on child care in F.Y. 1991 and will spend $143 million for child care in F.Y. 1999. The Governor is recommending an increase to $173 million in F.Y. 2000, an addition of 14,706 slots.
At the same time, the state is spending a greater percentage of these increasing funds on families with limited incomes. For example, in F.Y. 1994 the state spent two-thirds of its child care dollars on welfare families and one-third on transitionalllimited income families. In F.Y. 1999 the figures are reverseJ. The state will spend one-third of its child care dollars on welfare families and two-thirds on transitional/limited income families.

Even with the tremendous increases in funding for subsidized child care provided by the state, the demand for subsidized child care slots far exceeds the number of slots that are supported through state funds.
GEORGIA WORK CONNECTION
During the past decade, workforce development has become an increasingly important concern in Georgia. Today's economy and workplace technology require a welltrained, technologically advanced workforce capable of performing productively. In order for Georgia to develop the workforce it needs, state agencies must collaborate and deliver a cohesive system of services.
The Departments of Labor (DOL), Human Resources (DHR), and Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) have formed a partnership based on a commitment to meet this challenge by reducing duplication of services and providing an improved level of services for their customers. The commissioners of the three collaborating agencies entered into a written agreement creating the Georgia Work Connection on August 7,1997.
DHR contracts with DOL to provide employment services to

TANF and food stamp recipients

including assessment, work readiness,

job search workshops and referral to

training and education. In F.Y. 1998,

DOL placed 29,141 welfare and food

stamp recipients in jobs with a 30-day

monitored retention.

DTAE provides basic skills

training for TANF recipients at its 33

technical schools and at three

colleges.

In F.Y. 1998,

approximately 5,000 TANF recipients

received comprehensive training and

1,500 were placed in jobs.

The vision of the Georgia Work

Connection is a seamless, streamlined

service delivery system that provides

easy access to services that are based

on the needs of each customer. The

Connection provides support for the

transition to more productive

employment through continuous skill

development.

An interagency work team was

charged with developing the blueprint

for the new system and with

overseeing its implementation. The

collaborative plan lays out specific

goals, outcomes, schedules, and

responsibilities. The goals of the plan

are to:

Implement a common intake

system;

Create a common assessment

system;

260

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

Coordinate case management; Establish mutually accepted work
readiness criteria; Provide quality education and
training; Coordinate job development and
placement activities; Utilize employer input regarding
need; Link computer systems for data
sharing across agency lines; and
Provide staff training and development. Implementation teams comprised
of state and local representatives from the three departments have been assigned to each of the nine goals with a project manager designated from each agency to assure coordination. All three departments will use DHR's regional boundaries for the collaborative's service system.
PUBLIC HEALTH SHIFT TO PREVENTION
Modifying behaviors and eliminating conditions that contribute to illness and disability is far more cost effective than providing clinical treatment. Estimates are that every one dollar spent on prevention saves five dollars on future treatment.
Prevention programs are designed to improve the health of the community through education and

health promotion. Prevention strives

to reduce or eliminate behaviors and

conditions known to be risk factors

for chronic diseases and other health

problems. These programs are highly

cost effective as they are directed at

populations, yet positively impact the

health of individuals. Public Health

prevention efforts focus on three

important areas.

First, chronic disease is

responsible for seven in ten deaths in

Georgia. Approximately one in four

Georgians smokes regularly. Two-

thirds do not exercise regularly.

Nearly one in four is overweight.

One in five adults have high blood

pressure, and one in four have high

cholesterol. Thirty-seven percent of

deaths in Georgia in 1996 were from

stroke and heart attack. The

introduction of community-based

prevention strategies such as smoking

cessation, nutrition education, weight

management and exercise promotion

could have a significant impact on

deaths attributable to chronic

diseases.

The Governor is recommending

$1,350,000 in F.Y. 2000 to

implement

population-based

community cardiovascular prevention

programs that will focus on changing

behaviors that put individuals at risk.

Additionally, this program will

Outreach and case management for at-risk, low income pregnant women is essential to reducing low birth weight and infant death. Onehalf of births in Georgia are to Medicaid-eligible women; and onehalf of these low-income women do not receive adequate prenatal care. Georgia's infant mortality rate of 9.4 deaths per 1000 births in 1995 was the fourth highest in the Southeast and is far higher than the national average of 7.6.
The third area of importance is early intervention services for infants and young families, including outreach and hospital contact programs. These programs identify problems and offer parenting education, on-going counseling and case management. These programs can prevent the development of chronic health conditions in children.
The introduction of communitybased initiatives focusing primarily on prevention can reach a greater number of Georgians than the traditional and more costly clinicbased programs. The implementation of Peachcare, a Medicaid expansion that will allow more low-income families to access treatment through private providers, gives Georgia the opportunity to begin shifting public health resources to prevention services.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
Substance abuse costs Georgia millions of dollars in Medicaid inpatient hospital costs and welfare benefits. The state also pays for the treatment and care of children with developmental disabilities born to substance abusing mothers.
The department has initiated a substance abuse treatment program targeted at low income, pregnant women and mothers with young children. The program is different from conventional substance abuse programs in that it focuses on the families' needs and provides support

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

services such as transportation,

transitional housing and child care,

which are necessary if these women

are to be successful in their treatment,

leave public assistance, and regain

custody of their children.

In F.Y. 1999, $8 million in state

and federal funds was appropriated to

expand this program statewide. In

F.Y. 2000, the Governor is

recommending the department use

new federal block grant funding of

$2 million and TANF funds of $5.7

million to expand day treatment and

residential services to additional

women.

In March 1998, a statewide group

of

prevention

advocates,

administrators, and practitioners met

as the Oversight Committee for a

State Prevention Plan and began the

development of a comprehensive

five-year plan for substance abuse

prevention services. The purpose of

the plan is to identify gaps in the

prevention service system, set long-

term goals and objectives, and assist

in local planning efforts to develop a

community-based prevention service

system for Georgia.

An important aspect ofthe plan is

to focus limited resources in areas of

greatest need. The Governor is

recommending that the department

use $1 million in new federal funding

to perform a comprehensive needs

assessment

In conjunction with this

assessment, a collaborative pilot is

proposed with the Family Connection,

the Division of Public Health and the

Division of Mental Health, Mental

Retardation and Substance Abuse as

primary partners. The pilot will

address substance abuse and violence

prevention targeted at youth in grades

K-12. The objective will be a

strategic plan establishing baseline

data, which can be used to:

Identify and target at-risk

populations;

Identify the most effective

programs

for

specific

populations;

Monitor long-term outcomes and

effectiveness of the programs in

place and determine needs for

new programs; and

Insure compliance with the set-

aside requirements in the

Substance Abuse Block Grant,

which mandates that 20% of the

grant be used for prevention.

The needs assessment along with

the five year plan will enable the

MHMRSA regions to both

quantitatively identify risk factors,

target populations, and develop

research based programs to address

substance

abuse

treatment

requirements. Approximately 10,000

additional clients will be served by

the prevention initiative. The

collaborative effort will increase the

efficiency, effectiveness and

comprehensiveness of prevention and

treatment services.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES General Administration and Support
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of General Administration and Support provides executive and policy direction as well as technical and administrative support to all divisions and offices of the Department of Human Resources (DHR). The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, administration and programs. The division also assists in ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner and staff provide leadership for one
of the largest agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met. There are 21,201 state and county DHR employees in over 100 programs in over 1,000 locations in all 159 counties. The commissioner is appointed by and accountable to the Board of Human Resources which is appointed by the Governor. ADOPTION SERVICES
The Office of Adoption Services is responsible for increasing placement in permanent adoptive homes the children in DHR's custody. The office contracts with private adoption agencies for the recruitment of families and adoption support services. AGING SERVICES
The Office of Aging Services administers statewide programs that provide community-based support services to the elderly. These services allow the elderly to remain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement of individuals in long-term care facilities. Services are classified in two broad categories: the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Aging Services. CCSP provides client assessment, case management and six major categories of services, including home-delivered services under a Medicaid waiver to individuals who meet specific income and health-related criteria. The Aging Services component provides services that have no specific income-based eligibility criteria but are targeted to the most economically or socially needy individuals. Services include senior centers, home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and Alzheimer's programs. The Office of Aging Services also operates a health insurance hotline to answer questions concerning Medicare, Medicaid and longterm care insurance. CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY BASED INITIATIVE
A staff of four provides administrative support to the Family Connection Initiative. The Family Connection's purpose is to help ensure that Georgia's children are healthy, educated, and nurtured by strong and economically sufficient families through the development of partnerships in which state, county, and local organizations work together to improve results for children and families.

FRAUD AND ABUSE The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected
fraud and abuse within DHR's public assistance programs and seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process. This office also receives, reviews, and investigates all reports of criminal misconduct by employees of the department. MULTI-AGENCY TEAM FOR CHILDREN
This program purchases intensive and intermediate residential treatment and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, and other medical professionals. REGULATORY SERVICES
The Office of Regulatory Services is responsible for inspecting, monitoring, licensing, certifying and registering a variety of health, long-term and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state laws and regulations. UNIFIED STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION
In F.Y. 1999, a unified transportation system for DHR clients became available in four regions of the state. In F.Y 2000, the system will be available statewide. The system supports DFCS, DRS, Aging Services, and DMHMRSA clients by providing transportation to employment, training, medical appointments, therapeutic treatment, community care, and childcare. ATTACHED AGENCIES
The State Health Planning Agency is attached to DHR for administrative purposes. It serves as staff to the Health Services Council and provides research and technical assistance in developing the components of the State Health Plan. The agency also administers Georgia's Certificate of Need review program which determines whether a proposed health care project conforms to state statutory provisions and guidelines contained in the State Health Plan.
The Developmental Disabilities Council is also attached to DHR for administrative purposes. The Council administers a federal grant program to initiate innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Division of Public Health Roles and Responsibilities

The general mission of the Division of Public Health is

to assure conditions in which people can be healthy and to

provide leadership in the prevention of disease and injury.

Public Health accomplishes this mission through the

provision of two 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 health district
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 ofhealth 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.
AUTHORITY Titles 31 and 49-6-60, Official Code of Georgia
Annotated; and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, 889-564 as amended, 95-963, 95-627, 96-212 as amended, 96-510, and 99-457.

"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.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Rehabilitation Services
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) offers assistance to individuals who have a physical or mental disability that negatively impacts their employability. 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 develop the
employability of disabled individuals are available statewide through 57 hub offices located within 12 service regions. Additionally, the Division also contracts for vocational services 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. Manufacturing plants are located in Bainbridge and Griffin.
The Business Enterprises Program offers employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired to become independent business people operating vending machines, snack bars and cafes throughout the state. This program, authorized under 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 LIVING The Independent Living Program coordinates services to
individuals with severe disabilities to assist them in becoming 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 seven 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 six outpatient clinics. Also located at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute is the Center for Therapeutic Recreation Complex which can serve daily over 200 patients, students and other Georgians with disabilities, 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.
DISABILITY ADJUDICATION The Disability Adjudication Unit, which is 100 percent
federally funded, performs disability determinations for Georgians who apply for disability benefits administered by the Social Security Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Family and Children Services
Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) was established to administer and supervise the state's public assistance programs and social services. 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.
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS 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 in becoming 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 one, 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. The State Office of Adoptions, attached to the Commissioner's Office, is discussed in the Roles and Responsibilities pages concerning the Division of General Administration and Support.
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 257,000 parents were under court order to pay child support in F.Y. 1998 on behalf of over 606,000 children in Georgia. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1998, over $333 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $60 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 federal funding includes incentives earned on collections based on cost effectiveness. The department is seeking to privatize and consolidate the collection process, while enhancing its customer service and being more aggressive in its enforcement activities.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Roles and Responsibilities

The Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse was created within the Department of Human Resources to establish, administer and supervise the state programs for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse. 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 div~sion 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 7 regional hospitals primarily addressing
psychiatric and substance abuse problems. These hospitals are located in Atlanta, 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 8 institutions have a total staff of 8,388 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 3,219 for all institutions, they serve 17,000 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 with mental retardation, 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-term 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 228 state staff and over 10,000 local staff who provide services to approximately 81,000 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.

HIGHLIGHTS

$2,050,000 to fund the marketing and sales component of a multi-year initiative to make Georgia the preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for a rapidly growing industry sector. This is one part of a total recommendation of $13,625,000 to begin a comprehensive effort in partnership with the Georgia Research Alliance and the University System. This collaborative initiative encompasses focused research, educational capacity building, marketing, and commercialization assistance. The marketing and sales component of this initiative, which will be carried out by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, will aim to influence industry stars, professionals in the field, and companies in this industry sector to consider relocating to Georgia. The Governor's recommendation of $2,050,000 for this component includes $1.9 million in marketing funds to carry out a targeted marketing campaign and $150,000 to add a senior professional and associated expenses to focus on the recruitment of companies and individuals in this industry.
$501,380 in marketing funds to initiate a new tourism marketing program, as recommended by the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget restores $164,000 in marketing funds in the adjusted base for tourism and adds $337,380 in new marketing funds to provide for the development of a new set of tourism advertisements promoting Georgia's four major geographical destinations (the mountains, heartland, metropolitan Atlanta, and coast) in order to make Georgia's tourism advertisements more meaningful and interesting to potential tourists.
$125,000 in tourism marketing funds to expand the department's In-State Awareness marketing program based upon its effectiveness at raising the awareness among Georgians of travel opportunities within the state. The campaign will focus marketing efforts on one of rural Georgia's best tourist markets -- metropolitan Georgians.
$33,000 in tourism marketing funds retained in the Governor's redirection level budget in order to fund the state's portion of a public/private tourism marketing partnership.

$95,016 to launch a new Export Promotion Program in an industry sector chosen to build on the department's successes in working with high technology companies, such as Industrial Machinery.
$65,897 to add a Director of Market Research position in order to improve the department's capacity for targeted industry research. The department's increasingly strategic approach to economic development, which targets companies and industries in the most promising sectors for Georgia's long-term prosperity, requires this increased research capacity.
$600,000 within the adjusted base for the second year of state matching funding for the Georgia Allies public/private partnership. The Georgia Allies work to increase the awareness on the part of key decision-makers in targeted industries of the value of locating in Georgia. This is achieved through planned events designed to build relationships, research aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high-level advertising campaigns.
$115,697 in additional funding in the adjusted base for the new regional development offices. This includes $64,711 in additional funding for regular operating expenses and $50,986 in additional travel funding.
GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER
$225,000,000 in bonds is recommended in the Governor's F.Y. 1999 amended budget to fund the construction of the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). This expansion, which will add 1.3 million square feet to the center, will enable the World Congress Center to maintain its position as one of the top 5 convention centers in the nation. With the additional exhibit and meeting space, new ballroom, entrance and support areas, the GWCC will be able to continue to attract and maintain larger trade shows as well as to accommodate more meetings and shows simultaneously. An estimated 1.5 million visits are made to trade shows, conventions, and other functions at the GWCC each year.

GEORGIA ALLIES TARGETED MARKETING
One of two new divisions created in F.Y. 1998 was a Marketing Division, with a mission modeled after that of Operation Legacy created for the 1996. Olympic Games. Originally called Legacy Marketing, the new name for the cutting-edge marketing partnership which is central to the division is "Georgia Allies." This new name highlights that the partnership will not only build on the past successes of Operation Legacy, but also aims to build focus, communication, and collaboration among economic development actors.
The state's partners in this effort currently include 10 businesses with a statewide presence and a stake in the Georgia's growth. The Georgia Allies partnership seeks to leverage the state's resources, branding Georgia's efforts under a singular voice and look. In the first year of this public/private partnership, the private sector raised $700,000 - $100,000 more than the $600,000 required to match the state funding.
One key aspect of the efforts of the Georgia Allies and the Marketing Division is the targeting of industry sectors that hold the most promise for Georgia in the 21 51 century. Sectors currently being targeted for recruitment to Georgia are corporate

headquarters, corporate location firms, research & development operations, high technology firms and industries, sports businesses, tourism businesses, and traditional industry for rural Georgia. As the state's economic development strategy evolves, these industry targets will be modified to keep the state on the cutting edge of the global economy.
Georgia Allies' projects and events are aimed at increasing the awareness of key decision-makers in targeted industries of the value of doing business in Georgia, strengthening existing relationships between top business and government leaders in Georgia, and fostering new relationships with decision-makers in targeted industries. This is achieved through planned events designed to build relationships, focused research projects aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high level advertising campaigns.
F.Y. 1999 initiatives include sponsorship and participation in a FORBES premier CEO conference, which will attract over 200 CEO's to Atlanta reaching all target sectors, hosting a Site Location Consultants' Invitational designed to bring senior consultants to Georgia for a PGA Tournament Championship, and funding a MEGA sites analysis aimed at identifying the best sites for the state's largest economic development projects.
HIGH TECH INDUSTRY BASE DEVELOPMENT
In keeping with the theme of targeted economic development, Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 budget launches a 5-year initiative to make Georgia the preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for a rapidly growing industry sector. The Governor's initiative brings together the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the University System with the express goal of making Georgia the preeminent leader in an emerging high technology sector.
318

This initiative represents a

paradigm shift in the state's

development efforts. Its defming and

critical component is the development

of the state's most valuable assets - its

people and the product of their

accumulated knowledge, or in other

words, intellectual capital and

property. At the initiative's core is the

development and maintenance of the

knowledge and human talent required

to support this new industry. This

innovative initiative grew out of the

department's new strategic focus

which moves a step beyond simply

creating jobs to the larger goal of

building wealth for Georgians.

Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000

budget includes $13,625,000 to begin

the focused research, educational

capacity building, marketing and

commercialization effort required for

this project. Of this budget,

$2,050,000 is recommended for ITT

to carry out the marketing and sales

component of the project. This

includes $1.9 million in marketing

funds to carry out a targeted

marketing campaign aimed at

influencing

industry

stars,

professionals in the field, and

companies in this industry sector to

consider relocating to Georgia. This

initial effort will serve to sew the

seeds of the industry in the state. This

is a necessary complement to the

educational capacity building which

will prepare Georgians for jobs in the

industry so that the state can sustain

the industry over the long-term. In

addition, $150,000 is provided for an

experienced, senior professional to

recruit companies and individuals in

the field.

The benefits to be gained from

this substantial investment are far-

reaching. By 2005, this initiative

aims to add 2,000 high paying

engineering jobs to Georgia, locate or

see established 10 key companies

within the state, and increase fourfold

the supply of venture capital available

to fledgling Georgia businesses in this

industry sector. The project's long-

term goal is to build a sustainable

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services

economic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

In FY 1999, ITT initiated a new

program of regional community and

economic development in partnership

with the Department of Community

Affairs. This program has placed a

team of four development specialists-

two from each department - in each of

11 regions throughout the state. ITT

has placed one economic

development representative and one

planning

and

workforce

representative in each region.

Recognizing that Georgia's

primary source of job growth is

existing industry, the regional

economic development representative

in each region is charged with

fostering the retention and expansion

of the region's existing business and

industry by ensuring that the needs of

local businesses are met. These

representatives call on existing

industry to offer information and

assistance in dealing with

government, accessing business

assistance programs, or meeting other

needs.

In addition, these

representatives work with local

chambers of commerce, development

authorities, and other organizations to

increase the level of awareness of and

participation

in

economic

development programs within the

local community.

The placement of one planning

and workforce representative in each

region recognizes the growing

importance of human capital in

today's economy.

These

representatives are responsible for

creating regional strategies and goals

for workforce development,

establishing regional benchmarks and

evaluating performance, coordinating

state resources, and other workforce

related activities. In addition, these

representatives serve as the primary

linkage between the regional and

departmental strategic planning

processes.

The development efforts of each

region are guided by a 21 member

Regional Advisory Council, composed of public and private sector leaders from throughout the region. These councils have been charged with coming up with a strategic plan for economic development tailored to the strengths and needs of their region. By the end ofF.Y. 1999, each region of Georgia will have a completed strategic plan, identifying key industry targets and a manageable number of key action points to make the region more attractive to these targets. The 4 regional economic development specialists in each region work to facilitate the strategic planning process of the Regional Advisory Councils.
A NEW VISION FOR TOURISM MARKETING
In F.Y. 1999, the Tourism Division released the results of the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The study's findings reflected very favorably on the state's marketing efforts. The study shows that Georgia ranks #2 in the Southeast as a travel destination. Moreover, particular efforts of the department received high ratings for effectiveness. The Georgia on My Mind Travel Guide was cited as an excellent publication, and the Visitors Centers received very favorable reviews from citizens.
In addition, the study recommended marketing Georgia's

tourism resources using the 4 main geographic regions of the state: the mountains, coast, heartland, and metropolitan Atlanta. This new marketing strategy will make Georgia's tourism advertisements more meaningful and interesting to potential tourists.
Several recommendations from the study receive funding in the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget. Over $500,000 has been earmarked for the development and. placement of the new advertisements focusing on the four major travel regions of the state discussed above. In addition, a $125,000 In-State Awareness marketing campaign, modeled after a very successful series of ads run in the metro Atlanta area in F.Y. 1998, will focus marketing efforts on one of rural Georgia's best tourist markets Georgia's metropolitan areas. Instead of vacationing out of state, metropolitan Georgians will be encouraged to visit Georgia's many tourist attractions. Finally, a new public-private marketing partnership is established as part of an ongoing effort by the department to increase private sector involvement and leverage the state's resources.
In addition, the department has already begun implementing a new strategy for tourism business recruitment and increasing marketing efforts in promising areas identified

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services

by the study. The Tourism Division has increased marketing programming in key international markets as well as increasing the focus on important aspects of the domestic travel market, including group travelers and travel media relations.
GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY Under the management of the
Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), the state's ports have experienced II straight years of continuous growth. Total GPA tonnage for F.Y. 1998 was a record-breaking 11.4 million tons, an increase over last year of 5.10/0.
The Port of Savannah is 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. Container tonnage increased 8.4% in F.Y. 1998, marking the tenth consecutive year of growth for container operations at the Port of Savannah.
Total tonnage handled at the Port of Brunswick advanced by 15.3% to over 2.5 million tons. Making significant contributions to Brunswick's continued growth in cargo volume is the port's growing importance as an automotive gateway. Auto activity in F.Y. 1998 increased 19.8% over F.Y. 1997.
Under Governor Barnes, the Georgia Ports Authority is preparing to maintain and increase its role as a major U.S. port of call well into the next century. The Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget pushes ahead with the Savannah Harbor Deepening Feasibility Study and Design in search of a plan which both protects the natural environment and cultural resources of the Savannah coastline and ensures the economic benefits to be gained from deepening the harbor. For F.Y. 2000, Governor Barnes recommends $10,800,000 in bonds to complete the feasibility study and design of the Savannah harbor deepening.

This investment will maximize the impact of the numerous improvements in facilities and general infrastructure made by the authority over the past several years. Some of these include the development of a seventh container berth, the addition of two post-panamax container cranes and two rubber-tired gantries, and the expansion of berthing and warehouse space for general cargo. Today, 80,100 jobs are supported directly or indirectly by Georgia's ports. This represents $1.8 billion in wages. Georgia's ports generate $23 billion in revenue and account for $565 million in state and local taxes each year.
GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The GWCC, which opened its doors in 1976, is an international trade show and convention facility legislatively created to encourage economic development and to enhance private enterprise.
The Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget includes $225,000,000 for the

construction of the GWCC's Phase IV expansion. This will add 1.3 million square feet to the building, increasing exhibit space by over 420,000 square feet and enabling the GWCC to maintain its position as one of the top 5 convention centers in the nation. This expansion will allow the facility to continue to attract and maintain larger trade shows and to accommodate more meetings and shows simultaneously.
This expansion will allow the GWCC to keep up with demand for meeting and exhibit space. No major convention center in the US had a higher occupancy rate than the GWCC in 1998. In 1999 and 2000 exhibit hall bookings have approached and in some cases exceeded the practical maximum. Based on this and other factors, the Phase IV feasibility study indicated that the GWCC could sustain an expansion of up to 700,000 square feet of exhibit space.
The projected return on this investment is substantial. The expansion is expected to attract an estimated 500,000 additional out-ofstate visitors, create 19,000 new jobs each year and generate $53 million in new tax revenues.

OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Office of Commissioner of Insurance is accountable for upholding state laws regulating insurance, fire safety, mobile homes and small loans. The department organizes its efforts in fulfilling these responsibilities around five divisions.
INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION DIVISION The Internal Administration Division provides
management, policy direction, enforcement and administrative support for the department's programs which regulate companies and protect consumers in the areas of insurance, industrial loan regulation, fire safety, manufactured housing, arson investigation, building inspection, hazardous material handling and storage, and other related areas. The division's activities include performing personnel, purchasing, payroll, budgeting, and accounting duties for all agency divisions; and establishing department policy, procedures, regulations and enforcement capabilities.
INSURANCE REGULATION DIVISION The Insurance Regulation Division is responsible for
administering Georgia insurance laws and regulations by reviewing and approving insurance company property; casualty, life, accident and sickness policy forms and rates; approving applications for insurance companies to conduct business in Georgia; approving applications for individuals to obtain insurance agent licenses; and regulating group self-insurance funds for workers' compensation insurance. The division oversees the regulation of automobile selfinsurers, Captive Insurance companies, and Interlocal Risk Management.
INDUSTRIAL LOAN REGULATION DIVISION The Industrial Loan Regulation Division administers
the Georgia Industrial Loan Act by performing

examinations and on-site investigations of all accounts held by the industrial loan companies (small loan companies making loans of $3,000 or less) licensed to do business in Georgia, accounting for all fees and taxes payable by the industrial loan companies, and approving applications for new industrial loan company licenses and investigating consumer complaints.
FIRE SAFETY AND MOBILE HOME REGULATION DIVISION
The Fire Safety and Mobile Home Regulation Division administers and enforces compliance with Georgia and federal laws affecting manufactured housing and fire safety by reviewing applications for license and permits to use or store hazardous or physically unstable substances and materials, and by reviewing construction plans for public buildings and manufactured houses for adequate fire hazard prevention and protection. The division inspects public facilities for compliance with Georgia's fire safety laws and investigates cases involving suspicious fires in Georgia.
SPECIAL INSURANCE FRAUD UNIT The Special Insurance Fraud Unit investigates, upon
request, claims fraud against insurance companies. This unit was established through enactment of H.B. 616 of the 1995 General Assembly with the goal of reducing the incidence of insurance fraud, and the resulting financial burden it places on the insurance industry and the consumer.

Strategies and Services

The Office of Commissioner of

Insurance administers a number of

strategies and services to fulfill its

duties in regulating the state's

insurance industry, industrial loan

companies and fire safety standards.

These activities are geared toward

enabling the department to satisfy its

regulatory responsibilities effectively,

and to protect and assist the public in

the areas the department oversees.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

HEALTH INSURANCE

PORTABILITY AND

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

In 1996, the federal government

passed into law the Health Insurance

Portability and Accountability Act

(Le., Kassebaum-Kennedy Health

Insurance Reform Bill) which

requires each state to enact and

enforce the guidelines established in

this Act regarding health insurance

plans. As a result, the 1997 General

Assembly passed H.B. 654 to serve as

the state law implementing the federal

Act. 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

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.
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 EDUCAnON 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 is initiating

new and expanding

current

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

Challenge For Life,

and 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. The section, under this responsibility, conducts inspections, issues permits and licenses, investigates hazardous materials incidents and enforces applicable fire safety codes. The section also reviews plans and specifications for proposed bulk storage facilities of these substances.
Fire Deaths in Georgia 1994 -1998
The section must approve these plans and specifications before construction can begin on a proposed hazardous material bulk storage facility. The section is also assigned the department's responsibility to regulate the manufacture, transport, use, sale and storage of explosives through licensing the individuals or organizations involved in those activities. To complement its regulatory duties, the section conducts education and training programs on storing, transporting and handling hazardous materials in an effort to continue minimizing the loss of life and property from hazardous materials fire incidents.

HIGHLIGHTS

The major package in the Governor's F.Y. 2000 recommendation is the second phase of the three year enhancement plan under the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and the United States Department of Justice. This phase includes over $18 million in operating costs to enhance services at institutions across the state. There is also an additional $18.5 million in bonds recommended in the Amended F.Y. 1999 budget for expansion of the regional youth detention center (RYDC) system as part of the MOA.
The Governor also recommends completion of the statewide youth development campus (YDC) bed realignment started in F.Y. 1999. When the state implemented the 90-day program in F.Y. 1994, the use of these beds (als9 known as boot-camp or short-term beds) increased dramatically over the next three years. In F.Y. 1998, however, the growth in this short-term program did not occur at the same pace as previous years. This change created a surplus of 90-day beds as the demand for longterm beds continued to grow.
DJJ will be converting beds from 90-day program slots into long-term use; closing older cottages in need of renovation; eliminating temporary beds created in the past to handle overpopulation; creating special mental health cottages at Bill E. Ireland and Macon YDCs; and establishing a community-based independent cottage colocated near Lorenzo Benn YDC.
This bed realignment plan will change the structure of Georgia's juvenile system. At the end of F.Y. 1998, there were 2,854 YDC beds in the state for 2,503 juveniles. The plan reduces the number of beds to 2,605 by the end of F.Y. 1999 to more closely fit the population projection of 2,483. When the new Sumter YDC opens in April 2000, the total YDC bed capacity will be 2,775 for a predicted population of2,626 by the end ofF.Y. 2000.

The Governor's recommendation includes funding to annualize operational costs of new facilities and expansions in the RYDC system. Over $2 million is recommended to annualize the new 125-bed Paulding RYDC which will relieve crowding in the northwest Georgia systems. Also recommended is over $1 million to open three expansions at metropolitan Atlanta RYDCs. Expansions at DeKalb (24 beds), Gwinnett (20 beds), and Marietta (20 bed) RYDCs are scheduled to open in September 1999. This will help relieve an overburdened metropolitan Atlanta RYDC system.
The Governor recommends using the F.Y. 2000 budget to make permanent the enhancement of the Augusta Boot Camp program into an alcohol and drug prevention unit. In F.Y. 1999, the State received a federal grant to change the focus of the Augusta Boot Camp. It will still keep a paramilitary style, but will be transferred from the Youth Development Campus Division to the Community Programs Division where new programs will be added emphasizing rehabilitation from a dependency on drug and alcohol. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor proposes to add $1.3 million in state funding to make this transition permanent.
The Governor also recommends several additions to help facilitate the operations of the department including, a new radio system ($488,657) for juvenile probation/parole specialists (JPPS) located in the field. JPPSs must often go into neighborhoods at all hours of the night and the radio system will ensure they have contact in case of emergencies.
Additionally, it is recommended that DJJ expand the YDCIRYDC transportation network. Six new vehicles will be added to the current fleet of 16. Since the network was established, three additional YDCs have opened expanding the resources needed by this unit.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Children and Youth Services was created in the 1992 session of the General Assembly and was renamed the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) in the 1997 session. Prior to 1992, the department functioned as a division within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose ofDJJ 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.
In F.Y. 2000, the division will operate eleven facilities through the department or by private contract. The newest facility set to open in April 2000 in Sumter County will have a strong mental health component for troubled youth.
The total bed capacity at the end of the year will be 2,775 beds. Another YDC is planned to open in Muscogee County in F.Y. 2001 bringing the statewide total bed capacity to 2,925.

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 are overseen by the division and are similar to group homes, but serve less than five juveniles. They are scattered throughout the state and 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 youth transition back to a regular academic setting.
AUTHORITY Titles 15-11, 39-3, and 49-4A, Official Code of
Georgia Annotated.

DETENTION SERVICES This division provides for juveniles to be detained in
regional youth detention centers (RYDq 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 21 RYDCs with a total capacity of 1,176 beds.
Demand across the state for RYDC bed space has increased steadily over the past few years. In response to this, DJJ is building a new 75-bed RYDC in Crisp County as well as expanding the bed capacity at the following RYDCs: DeKalb (24 additional beds); Gwinnett (20); Marietta (20); Augusta (40); Macon (40); Columbus (30); Albany (20); and Thomasville (20).
This, along with replacing and expanding the Gainesville RYDC, will give the state an RYDC capacity of 1,546 by the end ofF.Y. 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Strategies and Services

The Governor's budget recommendation for the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) focuses on expanding the scope of rehabilitative services for delinquent youth in the state's custody through a three-year $65 million plan developed in cooperation with the United States Department of Justice.
The F.Y. 2000 budget recommends over $18 million in new operational costs for the second phase of enhancing departmental programs along with $18 million in bonds and grants for new construction.
The final phase of this plan will occur in F.Y. 2001 bringing the total new expenditures over three years to $65 million: $44 million in additional funding for increasing operational capacity for the ever-growing juvenile population and $21 million in new construction over the same three years.
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DJJ's goal over the next three
years is to provide all youth under the department's custody a complete general, vocational, and special education where appropriate.
In F.Y. 1999, the department created the Office of Education and held a nationwide search for its director. The new position has oversight of the educational programs at all DJJ facilities, including development and implementation of policies and training programs.
Under the director's guidance, DJJ, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education, is developing and implementing a comprehensive curriculum for instruction.
With a variety of educational levels entering the juvenile justice system at any given time, the approach to developing a statewide curriculum must be able to tailor an educational plan to fit an individual's needs.
The crux of being able to provide appropriate educational services is to accurately determine the educational

level of a student quickly upon admission. DJJ has developed a plan to ensure that each youth is tested within 72 hours of admission.
Regular and vocational education is an important function of the DJJ educational system, but special education classes are also becoming a major need among juveniles.
Approximately, one out of every five youth admitted to a DJJ facility needs some form of special education. For some, the need may be only one class a day. For others, the need may be much greater.
In either situation, the department has added special education teachers to ensure a twelve to one ratio of special education students to special education teachers statewide.
The department is also ensuring that all youth eligible for attaining a General Educational Development certificate have access to appropriate materials.
MENTAL HEATH CARE The mental health care
component of DJJ's three-year plan is to ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services.
Again, the department showed its intent on enhancing mental health services by creating a separate Office of Mental Health and holding a nationwide search for its director.
The director is to establish programs and services required to meet the mental health needs of youths. These children's problems can range from drug and alcohol dependency to sexual or physical abuse histories.
A key link in the mental health system is a quick and accurate diagnosis of individual problems. DJJ is developing and testing a mental health and suicide risk screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities.
Intake screening will be done on each youth admitted into a DJJ facility, usually a regional youth detention center (RYDC), at first.

Upon admittance to a long-term youth development campus (YDC) each youth will receive a complete mental health needs assessment reviewed by a psychologist.
Protocols are also being developed in this three-year plan for referral of youth with mental health needs.
Once a need for mental health treatment is indicated, a treatment plan is developed. In a YDC, this is an extensive plan, but in an RYDC, the needs are balanced with the likely length of the stay of the youth.
If a juvenile is identified with severe mental illness that cannot be provided in an RYDC or YDC, then the youth is designated as needing an alternative placement in a forensic psychiatric facility or other setting consistent with the youth's mental health needs.
When developing a mental health treatment plan for a youth in its custody, DJJ takes a holistic approach.
Plans are individualized; Psychological issues are
addressed; Needed medication is
identified; Planned activities are
developed; A behavior management
plan is undertaken; Needed counseling is
provided; An analysis of the youth's
current placement is performed; Families are brought into the treatment plan; and
A transition plan is developed for his or her return to the community.
While DJJ's mental health care strategy focuses on rehabilitation of the youth and returning him or her to the community as a better person, the department has also taken the preventative measure to discourage suicides within the juvenile justice system.

346

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE - Strategies And Services

Children who commit crimes are often emotionally troubled and upon incarceration, react negatively to their situation, frequently with threats of suicide.
DJJ has developed policies and procedures to identify these youth before the situation turns tragic. Actions include immediate referral to an appropriate mental health professional and development of a suicide prevention plan individualized for the juvenile's particular situation.

MEDICAL CARE

The department will ensure,

through the three-year plan, that

adequate medical care is provided to

all state juveniles.

An extensive part of the

department's medical plan includes a

system for proper screening and a

physical upon admission. Along with

that, DJJ provides all youths with

access to physicians for medical care.

The department's health

appraisal for youth entering the

system is to evaluate the health status

of the juvenile to determine medical

treatment needs and appropriate

medial classification and restrictions.

Medical care consists not only of

screening, but also of a

comprehensive effort throughout the

DJJ system. It includes:

Dental care, including

treatment to prevent loss

along with cleaning services;

Timely access to appropriate

medical specialists and

hospitalization

when

indicated; and

Twenty-four-hour infirmary

services as appropriate.

Another important part of

providing medical care is accurate

medical records. DJJ has developed a

plan to assure that a youth, when

leaving a facility, is accompanied by a

complete summary of his or her

medical history.

PHYSICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC CAPACITY
DJJ has also developed a threeyear plan to address the direct care

staffing needs of the state's juvenile

justice system.

Direct care staff primarily consist

of juvenile correctional officers and

cottage life supervisors. These staff

protect youth from harm and provide

security for the facility.

The department has taken steps

to provide extensive training for the

direct care staff. DJJ has also

established

standards

for

employment.

While strengthening the quality

of the direct care staff, the department

is also initiating development of

detention standards based on a risk

assessment instrument.

This

instrument will evaluate youth for

placement in alternative detention

programs being developed by DJJ.

The risk assessment instrument

will identify youth who may not be

legally held in secure detention

facilities; youth whose risk factors

make use of non-secure detention

alternatives appropriate; and youth

whose risk factors make secure

detention mandatory.

Those youth not needing secure

detention will be placed in the

continuum of alternative placements

to RYDCs to be developed as part of

the three-year plan.

PROTECTION FROM HARM DJJ has a dual protectionary
function. On one hand, they incarcerate youth to prevent them from harming members of the general public. On the other hand, DJJ is protecting youth from harmful outside agents and abuse.
The beginning of youth protection starts with their classification and room assignment upon entering an RYDC or YDC.
The age, size, and demeanor of youth entering the juvenile justice system vary greatly. Often juveniles cannot be housed together or even in close proximity. DJJ assigns rooms based on concerns such as these.
Incarcerated youth are also visually checked by line staff multiple times during an hour. State YDCs have monitoring systems in place to ensure this occurs.
347

The department has also

expanded the protocols protecting

youth from excessive use of force by

staff.

Often, juveniles act

aggressively and need restraints.

Department policy requires restraints

to be used only when necessary with

periodic assessments for continuing

usage.

Upon entering an RYDC or

YDC, juveniles are given an

orientation of the facility and its

particular protocols.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

To ensure juveniles within the

state's custody are not harmed, DJJ

established the Office of Quality

Assurance. A nationwide search was

conducted for it's director and it's

assistant director in charge of

investigations.

The Office of Quality Assurance

has two main units. One unit consists

of staff to investigate allegations of

child abuse in institutional settings.

This unit will work periodically with

the Georgia Bureau of Investigation

to maintain the quality of its

investigative staff.

The other half of the Office of

Quality Assurance consists of

auditors who regularly visit each

YDC and RYDC to make sure all

departmental policies and protocols

are being strictly followed. They will

also make unannounced visits. These

audits will include:

Inspection of institutional,

medical, and educational

records, unit logs, incident

reports, use of force reports,

major disciplinary reports,

documentation of room

checks by line staff, etc.;

Interviews with staff,

administrators, and youths at

each facility;

Where

appropriate,

interviews with the parents

or other care givers of youth

confined in state institutions;

and

Interviews with officials

having regular contact with

facilities or residents.

$21,786,579 $785,525
$20,898,924 $887,655

HIGHLIGHTS

$590,000 in state funds to implement Jobs for Georgia Graduates (JGG) as a restructured and expanded 5-year program, serving youth from 9th grade through I year after high school graduation. JGG is a school-to-work transition program designed to help "at-risk" youth enter the workplace, the military, or continue their education after high school. Currently, JGG operates as a 2-year program at 17 high schools in 9 counties, serving 90 youth (45 seniors and 45 prior-year graduates) per site. The F.Y. 1999 program budget for JGG is $958,879, with $10,000 of this amount provided by the state. The F.Y. 1999 amended budget includes $250,000 to allow the department to seek assistance in restructuring the goals, target population and desired outcomes of JGG. An additional $590,000 in state funs in F.Y. 2000 will allow the department to implement the restructured 5-year program in the 17 current JGG sites. By extending its "employability skills services," work experience, and intervention efforts to students in grades 9 through 11, the program will more effectively reach "atrisk" youth who might otherwise drop out of school before their senior year. In the future, the department should expand the program to new sites by working with local organizations and using school-to-work funding where JGG is part of the local plan.

$297,655 in state funds to add 5 pOSitIOns to the Unemployment Insurance Division. The department is responsible for administering the state's Unemployment Insurance program, which provides monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period of time. If there is a dispute over an individual's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits, the department conducts hearings to resolve the matter. The department currently employs 20 officers who conduct approximately 25,000 hearings per year. Because federal funds have not kept pace with the increasing workload, the department has relied increasingly upon telephone hearings, rather than in-person hearings, to resolve unemployment insurance disputes. This has limited both the number and timeliness of in-person hearings, causing concern among Georgia businesses. The addition of these positions will allow the department to provide improved service to Georgia's employers, more timely and higher quality hearings, and more flexibility in determining where hearings will be held.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Labor is empowered to administer federal labor programs and to enforce various state laws pertaining to labor, with an overall mission to promote the economic well-being of the state. The department, through its programs and wide spectrum of services, plays an important role in the development of the state's workforce. The department's major areas of responsibility are providing training, services, protection, and information.
TRAINING In a joint partnership with businesses and other
community leaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged youth and adults, older workers, summer youth, and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in the state. Through the Georgia Job Training Partnership program, authorized and funded under the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the department's responsibilities include:
Administering over $62 million in federal funds annually as grants and contracts.
Issuing regulations and monitoring programs to ensure operations in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.
Providing technical assistance and training to local staff to improve program administration.
Approving local job training plans. Managing a performance standards system and tracking local operations against federal standards to determine areas of excellence, award of incentive funds and the need to assist or sanction local programs. During F.Y. 1998, approximately 31,339 Georgians participated in 1 or more of JTPA programs. The partnership is directed locally in each of the state's 16 service delivery areas by a private industry council that participates in the unified planning process and oversees implementation of the planning function. The councils make basic program decisions regarding what job training is needed in an area.
SERVICES The department reduces the adverse impact of
unemployment by providing monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period and by assisting employers in minimizing their unemployment insurance tax liability. During F.Y. 1998, 328,733 unemployment claims were filed with the department. The department also provides federally-funded supplemental benefits to unemployed job seekers who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits.
One of the department's primary responsibilities is the

administration of the public employment service in the state through a statewide network of 53 offices. The department provides an array of services, which include:
Referral of qualified applicants to employers who have listed job openings.
Counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs.
Referral to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care, and supportive services.
A total of 73,257 applicants received employment or vocational counseling in F.Y. 1998. The department also provides basic readjustment services for "dislocated workers" whose job losses resulted from changing technology or other economic conditions. These services include assessment, counseling, testing, and job search and relocation assistance. Additionally, the department serves 1,530 at-risk youth at 17 program sites located in 10 school systems across the state through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program; provides employment service to disabled individuals who register for the service; and provides placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers and Armed Forces veterans who are making the adjustment from military to civilian life.
PROTECTION The department has responsibility for administering
Georgia laws regulating the employment of children and regulatory responsibility for equipment, such as amusement and carnival rides, elevators, escalators, safety glass, high voltage apparatus, boilers, and pressure vessels. The department processed 54,797 work permits for students during F.Y. 1998, and the Safety Engineering staff performed a total of 21,385 safety inspections of elevators, boilers, and amusement rides.
INFORMATION Compiling and disseminating labor market information
is a primary responsibility of the department. Available information includes data on employment, worker availability, wages, and historic projected trends. Several of the statistical series published by the department, such as Georgia Labor Market Trends and Area Labor Profiles, serve as key indicators of the state's economic health.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Strategies and Services

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COLLABORAnON
In August 1997, the commissioners of the Departments of Labor, Technical and Adult Education, and Human Resources signed a Memorandum of Understanding to reduce program redundancies and to streamline the delivery of each agency's services. This partnership has allowed each agency to build upon its strengths, while providing improved customer service.
An interagency team, known as Team:WORK, has been charged with developing and implementing this new service delivery system. Since the Memorandum of Understanding was signed, Team:WORK and the 9 implementation teams have developed collaborative goals for several service strategies:
Implementation of a common client intake system;
Creation of a common client assessment system;
Case management coordination;
Establishment of mutually accepted work-readiness criteria;
Provision of quality education and training;
Coordination of job development and placement activities;
Utilization of employer input and need;
Linkage of agency computer systems for data sharing; and
Provision of staff training and development.
Each of the 9 implementation teams has a sponsor who is a member of Team:WORK and who provides guidance and support to the team. The membership of the 9 implementation teams is comprised of state and local representatives from each of the 3 departments involved in this collaborative effort. Each agency has designated a project manager to assure interagency cooperation. An executive assistant prepares a collaborative newsletter and keeps the

project on track. Dedicated staff from each of the 3 agencies have been selected for training and automation of the initiative.

WORKFORCE INVESTMENT

ACT

New federal legislation signed

into law in August 1998 will have a

profound impact on how the

Department of Labor provides

workforce

preparation

and

employment services to Georgia's

citizens. The Workforce Investment

Act of 1998 is designed to replace the

Job Training Partnership Act, which

has been repealed effective July I,

2000.

The purpose of the act is to

provide workforce investment

activities that increase employment,

retention and earnings of participants,

improve the quality of America's

workforce,

reduce

welfare

dependency, and enhance worker

productivity. The act is based upon 3

broad principles:

Job training and employment

programs should be designed and

managed at the local level;

The programs should be

customer-focused; and The programs should include
accountability measures to ensure quality service delivery.
The act requires the Governor to establish a State Workforce Investment Board, consisting of the Governor, two members of each chamber of the Legislature, local elected officials, labor organization representatives, state agency officials, and a majority of representatives from the state's business community. However, the act also contains a provision allowing the Governor to utilize an existing board or commission that was established prior to December 31, 1997, or that is substantially similar to that specified by the act. The State Workforce Investment Board is charged with the task of helping the Governor develop a 5-year strategic plan describing the state's proposed workforce development activities.
The Governor must also designate local workforce investment areas within the state, and certifY local workforce investment boards. The structure of the local boards is similar to that of the statewide board,

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies And Services

in that a majority of the members are

to be representatives of local

businesses. The local boards develop

and submit local 5-year workforce

investment plans to the Governor,

select "One-Stop" operators to

provide service to local clients,

administer and disburse local grants,

and establish local performance

standards. Finally, Youth Councils

will be established as subgroups to

the local boards to develop plans and

procedures for service delivery to

youth.

Funding for the Workforce

Investment Act will be provided to

local areas via 3 funding "streams":

adults, dislocated workers, and youth.

While the majority of funds will be

allocated to local areas, 15% of each

stream will be reserved for statewide

activities. If desired, the state may

merge the 3 15% set-asides to provide

funding for activities that are deemed

statewide workforce development

priorities, regardless of their target

group.

For adults and dislocated

workers, the act authorizes "core"

services (including job search and

placement assistance, labor market

information, skills and needs

assessments, information about

available services, and some follow-

up assistance) and "intensive"

services (including more compre-

hensive skills and needs assessments,

development of individual employ-

ment plans, group and individual

counseling, case management, and

short-term pre-vocational services).

For customers who are unable to

locate employment after receiving

intensive services, the act provides for

occupational skills training, on-the-

job training, job readiness training,

and adult education and literacy

activities.

For younger clients, funding will

be provided to prepare youth for

postsecondary education or

employment by linking academic and

occupational learning.

Youth

programs will also include tutoring,

study skills, alternative school

services, mentoring, paid and unpaid

work opportunities, leadership

development and supportive services, guidance and counseling. Youth participants are to receive at least I year of follow-up services.
In Georgia, the interagency collaborative is designing the workforce investment system envisioned in this law. Service delivery to adult job seekers and youth, as well as to employers, will require an integrated strategy involving staff from vocational rehabilitation, public assistance, postsecondary education, and employment and training programs. Local boards will determine how the full array of services will be delivered to customers in their communities.

JOBS FOR GEORGIA

school-to-work transition project to

help "at-risk" youth enter the

workplace, the military, or continue

their education after high school.

Currently, JGG operates at 17 high

schools in 9 counties, serving 90

youth per site. Each year, 45 seniors

receive special "employability skills

services" and work experience, while

45 prior-year graduates receive

intensive follow-up services.

In August of 1998, the Office of

Planning and Budget completed a

program evaluation of JGG, and

recommended that the department

revisit the program's design and

selection criteria, as well as its

existing purpose, goals and desired

results.

In particular, these

recommendations centered on the

program's targeting of high school

seniors, and its use of self-selection

criteria. Because most dropouts occur

within the first 2 years of high school,

JGG was unable to reach the youth

who could benefit most from its

services. As a result, the seniors who

were ultimately selected for the

program were already well on their

way to employment or further

schooling, simply by virtue of the fact

that they had stayed in school.

The department and its newly-

elected commissioner have shown a

357

great deal of interest in restructuring this program to better address the needs of Georgia's at-risk youth. The Governor's F.Y. 1999 amended budget includes $250,000 in contract funding to allow the department to seek assistance in restructuring JGG by revising the program's goals, target population, and desired outcomes. Additionally, this money will be used to identify the high schools with the most "at-risk" students (and thus most in need of the program), provide staff training, develop an effective means of evaluating the program on an annual basis, and coordinate the program with other programs such as schoolto-work, youth apprenticeships, and mentoring.
The F.Y. 2000 budget adds $590,000 in state funds to allow the department to implement a restructured 5-year program the 17 current JGG sites, bringing total state investment in this program to $600,000. In the future, the department should expand JGG by working with local organizations using school-to-work funding where JGG is part of the local plan.
CHILD LABOR ENFORCEMENT The Department of Labor is also
charged with enforcing the state's laws protecting young workers. The Child Labor Enforcement program currently operates in a reactive mode, responding to complaints or existing violations, rather than in a more proactive-and preventive-mode. While the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget accepts the department's proposed 5% reduction of the Child Labor Enforcement program budget, the Governor recommends that the department investigate alternatives that would implement this program in a more proactive manner, emphasizing employer and youth education, voluntary compliance, and random inspections, in order to prevent violations from occurring.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Law, headed by the Attorney General, provides legal representation and advice to agencies, officials and employees in the executive branch of state government. The Attorney General is the chief legal officer of the state and is a constitutional officer elected to a 4-year term in the same general election as the Governor.

The Attorney General and his staff are authorized to prosecute civil and criminal actions to recover loss, damage or injury to the state.
The Department also operates the State Law Library, a non-circulating law and legislative reference library for use by state government personnel and the general public.

DUTIES The Department of Law represents the state in civil and
criminal actions, in all capital felony actions before the Georgia Supreme Court, in all actions before the United States Supreme Court, and in all actions against a district attorney. It is the duty of the Attorney General to provide opinions on any question of law involving the interests of the state or duties of any department.
The Department of Law also prepares and reviews contracts and other legal documents in which the state is interested and drafts proposed legislation or rules and regulations for state agencies. The Department investigates the conduct of state agencies, officials, or employees, and firms or corporations for violations in their dealings with the state.

DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the Department is organized
into a Department head's office, a counsel to the Attorney General and special prosecution section, five law practicing divisions and an operations division. The five law practicing divisions provide a full range of legal services to designated state departments, authorities and agencies. The Law Department is reimbursed by the state agencies for litigation expenses incurred, such as court costs, witness fees, filing costs and reporting costs.
AUTHORITY Title 5, Section 3, Paragraph 1, Georgia Constitution;
Title 45, Chapter 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

369

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
Strategies and Services

The Department of Law provides a full range of legal services in its role as the attorney for state agencies, officials, and employees in the executive branch of government. The department's 100 attorneys respond to requests for legal assistance and representation in administrative hearings, state or federal court litigation, review of contracts and other legal documents, the acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters, and legal advice or opinions.
During F.Y. 1998, the department received over 10,700 requests for its legal services and advice. The department's attorneys do not handle the entire workload due to the volume, but also because there are instances where a case requires certain expertise or where a conflict of interest may exist. To help meet its legal obligations in a timely fashion, the department retains private attorneys, Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs), when necessary. The department contracted with 380 SAAGs at a cost of $16.3 million in F.Y. 1997 and with 373 SAAGs for $19.3 million in F.Y. 1998.

About 50% of the total fees and expenses paid to SAAGs are incurred for legal work done on behalf of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Human Resources.
CONSUMER PROTECTION One of the Attorney General's
priorities is combating consumer fraud with criminal prosecution. The elderly in Georgia and the nation are particularly vulnerable to these criminal schemes, and criminal prosecution and jail time has been demonstrated to be effective in stemming this activity. The special Prosecution Unit successfully prosecuted a criminal telemarketer who targeted elderly victims nationwide. During the coming fiscal year, the department will be active in protecting the consumer in Georgia, and will continue to become more involved in numerous multi-state consumer law initiatives, such as the national tobacco settlement.
EMPLOYEE FRAUD The department handled one of
the largest criminal prosecutions in its

history in the case of 2 professors at the Medical College of Georgia. The department conducted an extensive investigation into allegations of research misconduct on the part of the 2 professors. The results of the investigation concluded that the Medical College had suffered losses of research revenues in excess of $11 million dollars. In addition, the case has raised serious questions about the clinical trials process and the protection of patients involved in such trials.
The department's efforts have been successful so far and led to a guilty plea by one of the accused professors. The guilty plea resulted in a fine and a 5-year prison sentence. As part of the settlement, the sentenced. professor forfeited $1,100,000 in assets to the state. The state also received a $1 million settlement with its primary fidelity bond provider and is in litigation with a secondary provider where the claim is approximately $9 million.

$1,353,606,831 $38,730,023

HIGHLIGHTS

The Department of Medical Assistance remains one of the largest state agencies, exceeding $1 billion in state funds since F.Y. 1994. In F.Y. 1998, Medicaid covered one in six Georgians, or approximately 17% of the state's population.
The Governor's F.Y. 2000 recommendation represents a 1.1% increase over F.Y. 1999. The Governor's recommendation includes cost containment measures while allowing for cost increases to certain providers. Highlights of the Governor's recommendation are as follows:
Cost Containment Measures $19,910,000 in state fund savings resulting from increased fraud and abuse efforts. The Governor's recommendation reflects the efforts of the department's newly created 50 person fraud and abuse unit.
$7,964,000 in state fund savings by enhancing the department's ability to identify Medicaid eligible individuals who may have other forms of insurance.

$4,900,000 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates to physicians and physician related providers. The Governor's recommendation would increase the basis for reimbursement from 87% to 90% of the 1997 Resource Based Relative Value Scale.

$3,609,329 in state funds to annualize the F.Y. 1999

nursing home rate increase.

The Governor's

recommendation maintains the DR! minus 1% inflation

factor as the growth factor applied to the 1996 cost reports.

Health Policy Issues
$1,598,532 in state funds to implement a Nurse Call program for all Medicaid recipients. The Governor's recommendation includes $5,534,980 in state fund savings anticipated from reduced emergency room utilization as a result of the program.

$700,323 in state funds to expand the Independent Care Waiver program by 30 slots.

$4,778,400 in state fund savings from the incorporation of service utilization controls in Community Mental Health Centers.
$2,996,021 in state fund savings resulting from the equalization of hospital-based and free-standing nursing home reimbursement rates.
Provider Rate Increases $21,466,428 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates for nursing home providers by updating cost reports from 1996 to 1998. In addition, the Governor's recommendation includes 6.2% in DR! inflation to update 1998 costs to 2000.

$250,000 in state funds to implement a retrospective drug utilization review. The Governor's recommendation includes $796,400 in state fund savings anticipated from the new program.

$4,296,529 in state fund savings from a departmental policy change requiring nursing home residents who enter hospice status to continue to share in the cost of their care.

$995,500 in state fund savings resulting from a reduction

in the asset transfer amount used to determine Medicaid

eligibility in nursing homes.

The Governor's

recommendation reduces the asset limit from $82,760 to

$50,000.

$4,654,574 in state funds to increase intensity factors for nursing home providers. The Governor's recommendation would increase intensity factors that are currently 1%, 2% and 3% to 3%, 4% and 5% respectively.
$5,160,166 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates for inpatient hospital providers. The Governor's recommendation would add the 1999 DR! inflation factor, less a 1% efficiency adjustment to the current DRG payment rates for hospitals.

The Governor's recommendation also includes an increase of $19.4 million in state funds to reflect increased utilization and inflation in the Medicaid program, including $13.1 million to cover a decline in the Federal Financial Participation rate and $4.7 million to cover anticipated inflationary increases in drug costs. The departmental impact of the recommended cost containment measures, additions and enhancements is a net increase of $14.7 million in state funds over the Fiscal Year 1999 budget.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Department of Medical Assistance (DMA) operates the Medicaid program that pays for health care services for individuals or families with low income and limited resources. The mission of the department is to provide prompt access to quality health care in the most appropriate setting.
Medicaid is funded by state and federal dollars. The federal government pays the largest share of Medicaid costs. Georgia's Medicaid program receives various levels of federal reimbursement for different services and functions. For example, the federal government pays 90% of the cost of family planning services and 61 % for most other benefits. Computer costs are 75% federally funded, and most other administrative costs receive 50% federal funding.
ADMINISTRATION Administrative costs represent less than 3% of total
expenditures. Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is the fiscal agent for the Georgia Medicaid program. While DMA is responsible for administering the Medicaid program, EDS processes claims and maintains reporting systems. Through EDS, the department processed over 45.6 million claims in F.Y.1998.
The department works to ensure accurate and appropriate payment for services using a claims processing system with an intricate series of computer edits and audits. Program integrity and compliance with state and federal regulations are monitored through reviews, audits, and investigations. When overpayments are identified, the department makes collections. Other measures such as precertification and prior approval have been instituted to prevent payment for services that are not appropriate or medically necessary. In F.Y. 1998, collections and measurable cost avoidance saved over $970 million.
The national trend in state Medicaid agencies is for contracting and capitation for services. This allows these agencies to control expenditures and to more accurately project budgets. DMA intends to seek ways in which it can enter into contracts for services wherever possible to contain costs.
Medicaid coverage is available for certain people based on eligibility requirements, such as income, resources or assets, as specified by law. Some categories of eligibility are mandated by the federal government while others are optional. The department contracts with the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) to determine eligibility. DMA works with DHR's Division of Family and Children Services to ensure that eligibility determinations are accurate. Georgia maintains an error rate below the federal tolerance level of 3%.

state's Medicaid program. In F.Y. 1998, the department paid for health care services to 1.23 million individuals, at a cost of $3.03 billion. A broad array of services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program. Reimbursement for physician, pharmacy, hospital and nursing facility services account for almost 80% of benefit expenditures.
Medicaid pays for inpatient hospital services when services cannot be provided on an outpatient basis. Most inpatient hospital stays must be certified prior to admission. Services are reimbursed based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG). Reimbursement for outpatient hospital services is based primarily on reasonable costs. Hospital reimbursement accounted for approximately 32% of benefit expenditures last year.
Medicaid pays for care in institutional settings for recipients who are unable to remain at home or in the community. Nursing facility services are reimbursed using per diem rates calculated from standardized cost reports. Certification is required prior to admission to determine the level of care needed by the recipient. The department contracts with the Georgia Medical Care Foundation to perform this function. Reimbursement for nursing facility services accounted for approximately 24% of benefit expenditures last year.
Medicaid pays for services provided by licensed physicians. More than 73% of recipients visited physicians last year. The department uses a statewide maximum allowable fee schedule for physician services. Physician services account for close to 12% of benefit expenditures.
Drugs requiring a prescription, insulin, diabetic supplies and certain nonprescription drugs are covered by Medicaid. A few drugs require prior approval. The department contracts with the First Health Services Incorporated to review and process requests for prior approval. Reimbursement for drugs accounted for almost 12% of benefit expenditures in F.Y. 1998.
A variety of other services accounted for 20% of benefit expenditures. Among the services in this category are health check screenings for children under 21, dental services, mental health services, transportation, home health, and laboratory services.

medically indigent Georgians is the primary focus of the

379

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Strategies and Services

In F.Y. 1999, it is projected that Medicaid will pay for health care services provided to 1.24 million individuals. Payments for services are projected to total $3.2 billion or approximately $2,606 per recipient. Since F.Y. 1982, the number of recipients has risen 183%, largely due to eligibility expansions mandated by the federal government. However, F.Y. 1998 represented the first time that the number of Medicaid recipients declined since F.Y. 1982, declining 0.5%.
While the Medicaid program was experiencing 10% to 15% annual increases in benefit projections during the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the state is now seeing a slowdown in the rate of growth in benefits. In fact, in F.Y. 1996, per recipient costs decreased for the first time this decade by 1.14%. With redirection and cost containment, the F.Y. 1999 budget reflected a 4.0% increase over the F.Y. 1998. The Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 represents a 1.1% increase over F.Y. 1999.
The department has been able to control costs through aggressive management programs and a sharpened focus on cost containment. The Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 incorporates additional cost containment measures while also expanding access to health care for children.
PEACHCARE FOR KIDS In March 1998, the Georgia
General Assembly passed the PeachCare for Kids Act to take advantage of the Children's Health Insurance Program created under the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
The Department of Medical Assistance, the agency responsible for administering the PeachCare program, began a pilot in the Macon area in September 1998. The PeachCare program was implemented statewide in January 1999.
Eligibility for the PeachCare program is limited to uninsured

children, birth to age 18, in families

with incomes up to 200% of the

Federal Poverty Level.

The

department estimates that almost

124,000 children will be eligible for

the PeachCare program.

Under the PeachCare program,

families with eligible children are

required to pay a monthly premium of

$7.50 per child over 6, with a

maximum of $15 for two or more

children.

Under the PeachCare program,

benefits are similar to those offered

through the Medicaid program.

However, the PeachCare for Kids Act

specifically excluded Non-Emergency

Transportation and Target Case

Management from coverage.

FRAUD AND ABUSE The General Accounting Office
has estimated that the cost of healthcare fraud and abuse approaches 10% of all health expenditures. In Georgia, such assumptions would result in an estimated $300 million in Medicaid fraud and abuse each year.
In F.Y. 1999 the department received funding to create a fifty person fraud and abuse unit. The new unit was created to enhance the department's ability to proactively target provider reimbursement practices and the potential to "game" Medicaid reimbursement due to loopholes in program policy.
The Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 reflects an additional $19.9 million in state fund ($50.0 million total fund) savings from the increased fraud and abuse efforts of the newly created unit.

LONG TERM CARE SERVICES

Georgia's Medicaid program

spends almost $800 million each year

to provide long term care services to

Medicaid eligible Georgians. Nearly

88% of these expenditures are for the

more costly nursing home

placements.

Recognizing the

significant costs associated with

nursing home placements, coupled

with an aging population, the department began studying the feasibility of implementing a system of long term health care. In F.Y. 1997, the department began examining acuity based nursing home reimbursement models that would provide a financial incentive to treat sicker individuals. In F.Y. 1998 the department began working closely with nursing homes to implement a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment tool to uniformly evaluate each Medicaid nursing home recipient. The department anticipates an MDS system to be in place by the end of F.Y. 2000. The MDS system will be used to determine each Medicaid eligible nursing home resident's health care needs. These healthcare needs will then be used to identify the most appropriate services for the Medicaid recipient.
NURSE CALL The Governor's recommendation
for F.Y. 2000 includes the establishment of a Nurse Call program for all Medicaid recipients. Under the Nurse Call program, Medicaid recipients will have access to a 24-hour toll free phone line that will allow them to make more informed decisions about their use of acute care services. It is anticipated that this program will minimize inappropriate or unnecessary use of health care services.

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of state government. The Merit System is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data, and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices.
The enactment of S.B. 635, passed during the 1996 Legislature, decentralizes the state's personnel administration system, allowing agencies the freedom to assume from the Merit System the responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties. The Merit System remains responsible for performing these duties for agencies electing not to assume them.
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall
leadership, direction and management of the agency to include the areas of legal services, public relations and information services, policy analysis and development. This division also provides: research, counseling and education in equal employment opportunity and diversity; evaluation, counseling, mediation and education in management! employee relations; and management of the state's employee recognition, charitable contribution and employee s~ggestion programs.

Additionally, the Compensation and Staffing section performs evaluations and audits of state agency personnel practices as required in S.B. 635, as passed in the 1996 Legislature, and in accordance with guidelines established by the Personnel Advisory Council. The section's duties include developing and maintaining model standards and processes which agencies may use in the course of their personnel administration activities. The division audits state agency personnel programs and practices for conformity and compliance with recognized professional practices and legal requirements.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Employee Benefits Division administers the
employee State Health Plan and the Flexible Benefits Plan. These plans include benefits such as fee-for-service and HMO health coverage, behavioral health coverage, pharmacy coverage, group term and dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, dental insurance, legal insurance, and medical and child care spending accounts. The division is involved in benefit design and communication, maintaining employee eligibility records, interacting with agency benefit coordinators, reviewing and administering claims, monitoring contractors providing insured benefit products, and review of plan utilization,

TRAINING AND ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT The Training and Organization Development section of
the Human Resources Administration Division assesses and assists agencies in determining employee job-related skills needs; develops and delivers in conjunction with state agencies performance management training for new supervisors; assists departments in meeting training objectives by designing and/or conducting train-the-trainer sessions. The division fulfills its duties through several means including the oversight and coordination of the use of: a training center, teleconferencing facilities and equipment, satellite downlink facilities and equipment, and an education and training resource library.
COMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffing section of the
Human Resources Administration Division offers a variety of services to assist agencies regarding employee compensation, work studies, applicant screening and evaluation, and recruitment. These services are usually in the form of labor market research and analysis, development and implementation of equitable pay and reward systems, general and specialized employee recruitment, distribution of job information, design and administration of written and non-written tests, and processing and evaluating job applications as requested.

INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION The Internal Administration Division furnishes
administrative, technological and accounting services for other Merit System divisions and administers the State Deferred Compensation Plan. These services include human resource management, budget administration, strategic planning and coordination of the department's quality assurance program, payroll, purchasing, mailroom operations, contract services, data entry, and mainframe and personal computer systems support. The division also provides human resource services to state agencies through personnel policy consultation and interpretation, and statewide drug testing functions. The division's duties also entail the receipt and deposit of health, flexible benefits and deferred compensation revenue; management of funds for the State Health Benefit plan in order to provide for claims payments while maximizing investment income; monitoring of contractor compliance and performance; provider billing and claims audits; and the investment and distribution of deferred compensation funds.

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION
Strategies and Services

The Merit System of Personnel Administration utilizes an assortment of programs and services in monitoring and coordinating personnel administration and benefit plans within state government. The enactment of S.B. 635 in F.Y. 1997 continues to significantly reshape the role of the Merit System and state agencies in the selection, hiring and management of personnel. Agencies now are free to assume certain personnel administration activities from the Merit System if they choose, and all new state employees hired are exempt from the classified service and its administrative and procedural restrictions. As a consequence, the Merit System is moving from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies, to one of consultation, technical support and review. Examples of the department's strategies and services regarding addressing this new role appear below.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES The department, to definitively
satisfy the needs and expectations of agencies resulting from S.B. 635, is adopting an organizational design and reconfiguring its services so it can become increasingly responsive and flexible in the wake of these and other continuing changes in the state's personnel administration environment. The structure chosen is intended to meet the goals of responsiveness and flexibility to changes in customer needs, while providing the types of customized services and technical assistance necessary to aid agencies in achieving their business objectives. The Compensation and Staffing Division, created in F.Y. 1997 by merging two divisions, now consists of eight units. These units are Recruitment and Job Counseling, Qualifications Development and Evaluation, Written Exam Research and Development, Exam Administration, Customer Interface Team, Labor Market Analysis,

Compensation, and Technical Support. These units offer interested agencies services in a number of areas including assisting in developing job recruitment literature, posting job vacancies, conducting initial screening interviews, reviewing job classification and compensation, determining and reviewing the qualifications necessary for jobs, and developing and validating employee and applicant tests.
Other divisions have been combined as well to lessen the department's number of administrative levels. The Health Benefit Services and Flexible Benefits divisions have been merged to form the Employee Benefits Division. The Accounting & Audits and Administration & Systems divisions have been combined to create the Internal Administration Division.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN CHANGES
At the direction of the State Personnel Board and the Employee Benefit Plan Council, Merit System staff, assisted by consultants from William M. Mercer Asset Planning, reviewed the state's voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan Program to determine how well it was meeting the supplemental retirement savings needs of participating state employees, and what improvements should be made to the Program. The program review included surveys of participating and non-participating employees, as well as an extensive market search and proposal analysis regarding the investment choices offered to plan members and the Program's administrative services.
This review resulted in the Board and the Council approving several recommended modifications to the Program. These modifications became effective July I, 1998 and include adding a 40 I(k) plan to the Program to allow state employees participating or who wish to participate in the Program the option of investing in the present Deferred

Compensation Plan or in the 401 (k)

alternative. These plans differ in their

tax liability to members, in their

investment

and

portability

restrictions, and in other provisions.

Another modification adopted and

implemented regarding the Program

was the replacement of several

investment options available to

members with a variety of new and

combined investment options to better

meet the retirement investment

objectives of Program members. A

final significant revision to the

Program's operation was the decision

to contract the member investment

account record keeping and customer

service activities to an outside

organization specializing in these

services rather than continuing to

perform these duties within the Merit

System. Contracting for these

services affords the Program, in a

significantly less expensive manner, a

way to furnish its members an

expanded variety of customer service

features concerning their investment

accounts and offer greater

convenience.

PEOPLESOFT SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
As part of the state's project to replace its mainframe computer financial and personnel systems with a more modem, versatile Year 2000 compliant system from PeopleSoft, the Merit System has been involved in the design and implementation of the Human Resource Management System modules of the PeopleSoft replacement system. These particular modules will replace present state mainframe computer personnel data and expense projection systems such as the Georgia Employee Management System (GEMS) and the Position Accounting and Control System (PACS). The Merit System, along with other agencies, is providing staff support where necessary to the overall PeopleSoft project. The department's role in this project is spotlighted through the selection of the Commissioner of the

391

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Strategies and Services

Merit System as a member of the project Steering Committee, and through the department's director of Administration and Systems serving on the project Executive Oversight Committee.

APPLICAnON OF

TECHNOLOGY

The Merit System, searching for

faster, more efficient means of

performing and delivering its

products and services, is broadening

its use and application of technology

wherever possible. The Training and

Organizational

Development

Division, through the help of grants

from the Georgia Statewide

Academic and Medical System

communications network, is using

teledistance/teleconferencing tech-

nology to conduct training

conferences and seminars in an

attempt to effectively and efficiently

make these offerings conveniently

available to a greater number of state employees throughout the state. The department has opened a site on the World Wide Web to provide general and job-specific information to any applicant or interested party having access to the internet. On-line access to reference information and documents regarding personnel practice models and standards, State Personnel Board rules and other items is also available to the public on the department's website.
ELECTRONIC APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM
In F.Y. 2000, the department will continue to develop and implement an electronic recruitment, applicant tracking and hiring system which will readily furnish information to job candidates, hiring managers and agency human resource staff. The system would allow prospective job candidates to review a comprehensive

listing of state agency job openings and apply on-line if desired. Applicant information will be stored in a central database and matched against future job openings for which the applicant may be eligible. Agencies will be able to directly post and update job listings, and analyze and screen information from the applicant database for filling job openings and conducting workforce planning. The department anticipates several benefits from this system including substantially improved access to information for job candidates, agency managers and agency human resource staff; reduced paperwork due to the greater degree of automation this system offers; faster completion time regarding applicant and agency requests; and elimination of duplicate personnel databases on state government.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Natural Resources provides natural resources development, management, and protection services to Georgia's citizens and local governments. These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety, and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air, and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws.
Both the Commissioner's Office and the Program Support Division provide administrative support for the entire department. Six separate and distinct divisions provide services to the citizens of Georgia.

PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the
citizens of Georgia through the development and operation of 48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted 15 million visitors during F.Y. 1998. The division manages over 72,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps, and golf courses.

WILDLIFE RESOURCES

The division manages lands and freshwater habitat for

public hunting, fishing, and educational purposes and

promotes the conservation and wise use of game and

nongame wildlife resources.

All state laws and

departmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery

resources, wild animals, boating safety, and hunter safety

are enforced by the law enforcement section. The division

manages Public Fishing Areas and Wildlife Management

Areas, and produces over 14 million fish each year in 9

state hatcheries which are used to stock public waters and

farm ponds.

COASTAL RESOURCES The division's primary objectives are to ensure the
optimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve, and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development, and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main
objective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste, and hazardous waste

laws, rules, and regulations. These objectives are accomplished through a permitting process coupled with monitoring, inspection, investigation, and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services
and assistance to governmental agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register of Historic Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects, and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters, and other preservation programs.
POLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed
to serve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in fmding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water, and air pollution problems through preventive measures.
ATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes
amateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games.
The Civil War Commission encourages preservation of Civil War sites and promotes tourism to these sites.
The Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority is responsible for managing through contract the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the islands.
The Jekyll Island State Park Authority is responsible for the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the island.
The Stone Mountain Memorial Association is responsible for managing through contract the operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities at the mountain.
The Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority promotes, develops, and serves agriculture and agricultural business interests of the state, produces and operates the Georgia National Fair, and encourages the agricultural accomplishments of Georgia's youth.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Strategies and Services

Georgia is geographically the largest state east of the Mississippi River and is blessed with great scenic beauty and many outstanding natural and historic resources, which are enjoyed by the state's citizens and tourists alike. As the population grows, demands on Georgia's natural resources increase, making it essential that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continue its obligation to protect, preserve, and manage these resources for present and future generations. DNR's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) serves as the state's regulatory agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal environmental standards relating to water, air, and land.
Georgia is rich in surface water resources with over 70,000 miles of streams, 425,582 acres of public lakes and reservoirs, 854 square miles of estuaries, and 100 miles of coastline. These waters support drinking, recreational, and industrial uses for Georgians and provide habitats for a variety of aquatic life. Governor Barnes' budget provides funds for several projects relating to water quality and water management to ensure an adequate supply of clean water for Georgians now and well into the future.
Georgia's air meets national standards for all pollutants except ozone. The 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area has been declared an "ozone non-attainment area" under the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Because of the negative impacts on citizens' health and on economic growth and development in the region, Governor Barnes' budget supports a number of initiatives to improve the quality of air in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES
The failure of the 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area to meet mandatory federal air quality standards threatens the health of

Georgians and will result in stiff restrictions and regulations on businesses in the state. A continued failure to meet federal air quality standards will jeopardize federal funding for Georgia and seriously impact the state's future economic growth and development.
Governor Barnes supports several programs to reduce air pollution in the Atlanta area. His strategy includes a regional approach to the development of transportation alternatives and the start-up of new programs, in conjunction with the continuation of existing programs to reduce the number of cars on the roads by encouraging carpooling, alternative work schedules, and the increased use of existing mass transit.
Governor Barnes proposes the creation of a Metropolitan Atlanta Transportation Authority to encourage and support the expansion of Atlanta area mass transit systems and to oversee the planning and development of a regional commuter rail system to relieve metro-Atlanta's traffic congestion as a major component of Georgia's plan to improve the air quality in the area. The authority would also ensure that mass transit and rail systems in the region coordinate routes and services. The Governor proposes a state fund appropriation of $1 million in F.Y. 2000 to cover start-up costs for the authority.
The Governor's strategy for cleaning up Atlanta's air does not rely solely on mass transit and commuter rail. It includes programs aimed at permanently changing citizens' attitudes toward their daily commute to work or school. The Governor proposes to continue the Voluntary Ozone Action Program (VOAP) initiated this past summer. Through VOAP, EPD partners with businesses, governments, universities and others in the metro-Atlanta area to develop voluntary vehicle emission-reduction plans that can be implemented on days with projected high ozone levels. These voluntary plans can include

carpooling and mass transit,

alternative work schedules, and

telecommuting. VOAP includes a

major public education campaign as

well as enhanced air monitoring

capabilities in order to more

accurately project daily ozone levels

in Atlanta.

The Governor

recommends $300,000 in state funds

in F.Y. 2000 to match $1,200,000 in

federal Congestion Mitigation and Air

Quality funds to continue this

program.

Governor Barnes proposes to

expand state government's role as a

leader in adopting policies and

implementing incentives that

encourage employees to reduce the

number of single-passenger trips to

work within the Atlanta ozone non-

attainment area. The Governor

recommends $100,000 in state funds

in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to

match $400,000 in federal Congestion

Mitigation and Air Quality funds to

create a Georgia State Agency

Rideshare Office and to provide mass

transit subsidies for state employees

in the metro-Atlanta area through the

2000 ozone season.

The proposed Georgia State

Agency Rideshare Office will

provide effective coordination of all

programs relating to alternative

transportation for state employees.

The office will work closely with

state agencies to encourage their

adoption of policies and programs to

promote carpooling, vanpooling, mass

transit, telecommuting, and

alternative work schedules. The

Rideshare Office will also monitor

state employees' transportation

attitudes and habits, and propose

statewide programs and policies to

accomplish the goal of reducing

single-passenger trips to work by state

employees in metro-Atlanta.

The Rideshare Office will also

coordinate a program to provide Mass

Transit Subsidies for state

employees. Currently, state

employees can purchase a $45

MARTA monthly pass for $38.25

under a bulk discount agreement

409

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

between MARTA and the Georgia

Building Authority.

Governor

Barnes' proposal will expand this

incentive by providing a subsidy to

further reduce the cost of a monthly

transit card for state employees to

about $25 for all mass transit systems

operating in the metro-Atlanta area.

WATER QUALITY AND

PROTECTION STRATEGIES

Several major water management

issues face the state of Georgia at the

beginning of the Barnes

Administration. These include:

saltwater intrusion into underground

water resources along the coast; on-

going negotiations with Florida and

Alabama over the management of

shared water resources; inclusion of

agricultural water use in statewide

water use planning; and the

development

of

maximum

contaminant limits for state waters as

required by the federal Clean Water

Act.

The Floridian Aquifer supplies

most of the. water used by citizens,

local governments, agriculture, and

industry in 24 counties in southeast

Georgia. The current level of water

usage in this area is contributing to

existing saltwater intrusion in the

Brunswick area and the potential of

saltwater intrusion in Savannah. The

economic well-being of coastal

Georgia depends on maintaining the

capability to use the aquifer to

support future development in this

region of the state.

Understanding groundwater is a

difficult and expensive undertaking,

and solid scientific data and water

management strategies must be

developed. State support for the

development and implementation of a

comprehensive management plan is

necessary to allow for the sustainable

use of this valuable resource for the

future and to provide adequate

protection for coastal groundwater

resource:;. The 8-year Coastal

Groundwater (Sound Science)

Study was initiated with an

appropriation of $1 million in

F.Y. 1999.

The Governor

recommends increasing funding for

the project's first year by adding $2,695,000 in state funds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to support the up-front costs of drilling wells necessary to sample and monitor the aquifer, including the expensive offshore wells and deep Brunswick wells. On-going funding of $1 million in F.Y. 2000 is also recommended. These funds will be used to begin collection of the scientific data needed to fully understand the aquifer and to develop an appropriate management plan to protect coastal groundwater. The 8year project will cost an estimated $14 million, with $10 million in state funds and $4 million from paper companies that have agreed to provide $500,000 in support each year.
To ensure that Georgia's strategy for managing the water resources of the Upper Floridian Aquifer is a coordinated effort between state and local governments, Governor Barnes recommends a one-time appropriation of $880,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to support the development of Local Water Supply Plans for 22 of the 24 southeast Georgia counties that use the aquifer. (Glynn and Chatham counties already have plans.)
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama are working together to manage shared water resources under federally approved Interstate Compacts. Although negotiations among the states were to be completed in December 1998, efforts are underway to extend the deadline to December 1999. Governor Barnes has included in his F.Y. 2000 budget a continuation of the $250,000 annual appropriation for technical and legal contract services to support Georgia's negotiating team.
The purpose of the interstate compacts is to develop water allocation formulas to settle disputes over the use and management of interstate waters of the ApalachicolaChattahoochee-Flint (ACF) and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) river systems. In order to determine accurate water budgets and flow rates,
410

a Southwest Georgia Groundwater Study is necessary to evaluate the impact of Lake Seminole on the ground and surface waters in that region of the state. Governor Barnes recommends $225,500 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to begin a 3-year project, conducted jointly with the U.S. Geologic Survey, to determine the flow of ground and surface water into and out of Lake Seminole to protect Georgia's water rights in negotiations with Florida and Alabama.
Although agriculture is the largest user of groundwater in Georgia, there are no reporting requirements under the agricultural water use permitting process. In order to develop a strategy to protect coastal Georgia from saltwater intrusion and to develop water allocation formulas for Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, EPD must have reliable agricultural water use information. Rather than impose a cumbersome reporting requirement on all farmers with water withdrawal permits, meters installed on a small, statistically valid sample of farms will provide EPD with a statistically reliable estimate of agriculture water use that can be used for water resource management. The 5-year Agricultural Water Use Study began with an appropriation of $250,000 in F.Y. 1999. Governor Barnes recommends $250,000 in F.Y. 2000 to continue this study.
A federal court issued a ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region IV that required the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for state waters within an 8-year time frame beginning in F.Y. 1998. TMDLs are discharge load limits that must be developed very carefully for Georgia's streams using high-quality field data to ensure that limits accurately reflect the wastewater treatment level needed to protect the stream. To help with this environmental problem and to comply with the court's ruling, Governor Barnes recommends $1,168,000 in F.Y. 2000 to support the third year of

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

the 8-year TMDL development program.

COASTAL RESOURCES

STRATEGIES

Georgia continues to experience

a steady population increase along the

coast. Coastal waters support

boating, swimming, recreational

fishing, and commercial fishing. The

growth in population and businesses

in the region continues to strain this

valuable state resource. Governor

Barnes recommends 2 programs to

address public health concerns in

coastal Georgia and to enhance

recreational saltwater fishing

opportunities.

The Governor's Coastal Public

Health Monitoring Program will

replace the current, limited shellfish

water-sampling program with a

comprehensive monitoring initiative

to provide on-going testing of coastal

waters, fish tissue, and sediment

quality. The program will establish a

baseline

of

contaminant

accumulations in estuarine and near-

shore coastal waters, and provide a

mechanism to track future changes

that may indicate a potential public

health risk. This will allow the state to

respond effectively to problems

relating to coastal waters before they

become critical. The Governor

recommends $170,000 in state funds

to initiate this monitoring program,

with $50,000 for an additional biologist and increased operating expenses for the Coastal Resources Division and $120,000 for contract services for water and sediment testing.
Governor Barnes recommends a Recreational Saltwater Fishing Enhancement program in recognition of recreational saltwater fishing's importance to Georgia's coastal economy. Since Georgia has few natural offshore reefs, the state and private interests began constructing artificial offshore reefs in the early 1970s. Growth in recreational offshore fishing has resulted in existing reefs being over-fished. The Governor recommends $248,000 for construction of additional offshore artificial reefs and reef buoy maintenance along Georgia's coast; $45,000 to update and reprint Georgia coastal fishing charts that were last updated in 1982; and $70,000 for the construction of inshore artificial reefs and buoys.
OSSABAW ISLAND STRATEGY Ossabaw Island is a state-owned
island designated as a Heritage Preserve. It is located off the upper coast of Georgia just south of Savannah. There is no bridge connecting the island to the mainland-access for people and

supplies is by air and water only.

Currently, stationary generators run

by diesel engines produce power for

the island. Fuel for the diesel engines

is supplied in 55-gallon drums

transported by boat. The fuel is off-

loaded into pipes leading to 2

aboveground storage tanks. The

Department of Natural Resources has

been notified that the fuel

transportation and off-loading

systems do not meet U.S. Coast

Guard Standards and must be

replaced. The island's fuel storage

tanks also fail to meet state fire codes.

Recognizing the potential for

environmental and fire safety

problems with the existing fuel

system, the Governor recommends

replacing it with electricity to be

provided through the installation of a

submarine electric cable connecting

the island to the mainland.

Specifically,

the

Governor

recommends that DNR be authorized

to sell a little-used 300-acre wildlife

management area (WMA) in a

developing section of Dougherty

County and retain the projected $1.2

million in proceeds to purchase 300

acres of WMA land in an

undeveloped area of Dougherty

County for $450,000, and to use the

remaining $750,000 in proceeds to

install an electrical cable from the

mainland to Ossabaw Island.

HIGHLIGHTS

$1,290,654 in redirected funds to operate a new radio system for the Department of Public Safety. The Department will enter into a lease purchase agreement with Southern LINC, a subsidiary of the Southern Company. The lease purchase agreement would allow the Department of Public Safety to utilize communication infrastructure owned and maintained by the Southern Company. The agreement would include the purchase of 650 iDEN 800 MHz radios, and 8 communication consoles for use by the State Patrol. Currently, the Department utilizes an antiquated 40-year-old VHFIUHF radio technology that is plagued with a limited coverage area, and dead spots, which put officers at risk. The 800 MHz radio technology provides a radio, repeater, pager and cellular phone in one device, and offers a 90% coverage area, 90% of the time. The Southern Company will maintain the infrastructure that the radios will be relying on.
$1,177,366 to increase the salaries for the Department of Public Safety's sworn officers. This increase will help the Department recruit and retain quality personnel. The increases will raise the

minimum salaries for all Trooper Cadets, Troopers, and Troopers First Class to the target salary level set by Georgia Gain, as well as provide a 3% salary increase for all other sworn law enforcement officers in the Department who are at or above the Georgia Gain target hire rate. This is in addition to the Georgia Gain pay for performance increase.
$547,567 in redirected funds to increase the sworn count for the State Patrol by 40 officers, from 889 to 929. Georgia's population has grown by 36% over the past 20 years while the size of the state patrol has grown by only 13%.
$122,302 in redirected funds for the expansion of the Basic Communication Officers Course offered by the Public Safety Training Center from 40 hours to 64 hours. The expansion would include 24 hours of courses in Emergency medical dispatch. Emergency Medical Dispatch courses teach Communication Officers to deliver scripted pre-arrival medical instructions to callers in an effort to save lives during medical emergencies.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is responsible for protecting the lives of Georgia's citizens as they travel the state's highways. The Department provides a safe environment by enforcing traffic and criminal laws, investigating accidents, and encouraging safe driving practices. The Agency regulates drivers to ensure minimum safety standards, knowledge and driving skills are met. The Department's troopers work to reduce accidents and injuries by discouraging speeding, encouraging seat belt use, and by stopping drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They also provide law enforcement assistance and emergency response to the public and criminal justice community.
A staff of 1,907 employees (including 889 sworn positions), support the operations of the Department of Public Safety's - Budget Unit A. DPS also has 6 agencies in Budget Unit B attached for administrative purposes. The 3 functional budgets which comprise Budget Unit A are:
ADMINISTRATION The administrative and management direction for the
Department of Public Safety, including the coordination and support services of the 6 attached agencies, are provided by this function.
DRIVER SERVICES The issuance of driver's licenses, permits and the
administration of the commercial driver's license program are carried out by the Driver Services function. The Department utilizes 48 full service testing locations, 26 Kroger renewal sites, 11 travel teams, 9 reinstatement facilities, and 6 renewal only sites. These sites are situated throughout the state. Additional responsibilities include suspension and reinstatement of driver's licenses and school bus safety program certification and inspection.
FIELD OPERATIONS More commonly known as the State Patrol, this
function is responsible for accident control, traffic and speed enforcement, drug interdiction, and protection of the public roads and highways. To carry out its duties, the State Patrol operates 48 patrol posts and 7 aviation hangers statewide.

ATTACHED AGENCIES The following 6 attached agencies, including 163
authorized positions, comprise Budget Unit B: The Georgia Public Safety Training Center provides

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Strategies and Services

In an effort to recruit and retain

the most qualified law enforcement

officers, Governor Barnes has

recommended a pay increase for the

Georgia State Patrol. In F.Y 2000,

the Governor has recommended

$1,177,366 to increase the salaries for

the Department of Public Safety's

sworn officers. The increases would

serve to raise the minimum salaries

for all Trooper Cadets, Troopers, and

Troopers First Class to the target

salary level set by Georgia Gain. It

would also provide a 3% salary

increase for all sworn law

enforcement officers in the

Department who are at or above the

Georgia Gain target hire rate. This is

in addition to the Georgia Gain pay

for performance increase.

The Department of Public Safety

(DPS) is responsible for protecting

the lives of Georgia's citizens by

making the state's highways safer. As

the largest law enforcement agency in

the State of Georgia, the department

is involved in regulating drivers,

enforcing traffic and criminal laws,

and promoting safe driving practices.

In F.Y. 1998, the Department's

troopers

investigated 28,000

accidents, and made over 9,000 DUI

arrests.

These efforts have

contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia.
In F.Y. 2000, the Governor has continued his support for the department's efforts to increase the safety of the state's highways by increasing the size of the State Patrol by 40 Troopers. This brings the authorized count for sworn officers in the Georgia State Patrol to 929.

NEW RADIO SYSTEM

The Department of Public

Safety currently utilizes a UHFNHF

radio system which is outdated and in

need of repair. Current coverage area

is 70%, 80% of the time. This

coverage ratio means that there are

significant dead spots in the radio

system, which results in law

enforcement personnel being left out

in the field without any means of

communicating for backup support.

Besides safety concerns, the

Federal

Communications

Commission is in the process of

refarming land mobile radio

spectrums. Current UHFNHF users

such as the Department of Public

Safety will need to move to power

frequencies, such as an 800 MHz

radio system. No date has been

firmly set for this migration. An outside consultant has
recommended that the Department of Public Safety move to an 800 MHz radio system. The 800 MHz radio system has voice, data, and pager capabilities. The 800 MHz system gives the State Highway Patrol 90% coverage throughout the State 90% of the time.
If DPS moves to an 800 MHz radio system, there is an additional benefit. Due to the advanced capabilities of the 800 MHz system, DPS will be able to operate their radio communications with a reduced staff. Only 160 radio operators will be necessary to run the system. DPS can operate out of 9 Troop Command Centers with only 18 Communication Equipment Officers per site.
HIGHWAY SAFETY The Department's highway safety
program consists of the following functions which are performed by the Georgia State Patrol:
Speed Limit Enforcement--The Department wrote more than 265,000 citations for speeding in F.Y. 1998 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce highway speed and save lives.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services

Further, the department continued an intensive speed enforcement program, known as Operation Hardnose, designed to target problem drivers in the Atlanta area. Operation Hardnose consists of 50 troopers in concentrated patrols on metro interstates and has resulted in thousands of tickets and warnings being issued.
Star GSP--One of the first proactive responses to D.U.! drivers came in 1994 as the department unveiled a proposal to involve the average citizen in the statewide crackdown on drunk and drug impaired drivers. By dialing *GSP, any driver with a cellular phone may

announcements targeting seat belt usage. In F.Y. 1998, operation "Strap 'N Snap," was implemented, which focuses on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During F.Y. 1998, 195,000 citations were written in this operation.
DRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE The Governor supports the
Department's efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities involving teenage drivers. The leading cause of death in U.S. teenagers is motor vehicle crashes and young drivers experience a disproportionately higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than other aged

in 1998. Combined with the 29 previously opened, these 32 serviceoriented facilities renewed over 839,000 driver's licenses in F.Y. 1998.
Another step to improve service is the introduction of computerized digital imaging license issuance in the fall of 1996. Digital imaging makes it possible for the Department to issue a renewal driver's license immediately, rather than 45 days. A digital imaging system does not require film or a camera; instead, the image is captured by a computer using a video camera and printed using a color printer. Over-the-counter instant issuance has significantly improved

immediately contact the nearest State Patrol Post to report an impaired driver. The program has been very successful, accounting for almost 900 DUI arrests in F.Y. 1998.
Seat Belt and Child Restraint Enforcement--With the passage of Georgia's primary seat belt enforcement law, the State of Georgia has made a commitment to seat belt enforcement. According to studies, proper use of safety belts and child safety seats can reduce the likelihood death and injury by 40-50%. The State Patrol and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service

-e- Crashes -II- Injury Crashes
drivers. According to the Office of Highway Safety, 108 of every 100,000 drivers under 18 were involved in a fatal crash. This is 3 times as many traffic deaths as drivers who are 24 years or older.
Young drivers are involved in more deadly crashes than other age groups due to a number of factors, including a lack of driving experience, a tendency to drive faster, driving more at night, not wearing seat belts, having more passengers in their vehicles, and not being able to handle the effects of alcohol.
As part of an effort to improve service at overcrowded driver's license facilities, the Department opened 3 more license renewal sites

the efficiency and quality of service.
TRAINING The State of Georgia currently
has 44,532 peace officers in 971 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed 400 hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of in-service training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter

Standards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center.
In F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends the expansion of the "Judgmental Use of Deadly Force" basic training course. This 16 hour

course focuses around simulation training ("shoot-don't shoot" situations) rather than "live fire". In F.Y 1999, the Public Safety Training Center implemented this training course at the Training Center in Forsyth. Due to the requirement that all new officers receive this training part of the basic mandate, the

Training Center is operating above capacity for this course, which results in a lack of course offerings for the advanced Judgmental Use of Deadly Force course. The Governor has recommended purchasing 9 additional simulators to be strategically located with the department police academies

around the state. This would reduce demand at the Public Safety Training Center for basic students and allow for more advanced and specialized training using this valuable training device.
DRUG INTERDICTION The nature of the job performed by a trooper has changed significantly over the last decade. Georgia State Patrol Troopers are placing increased emphasis on drug interdiction and eradication, both as a byproduct of normal traffic enforcement, and through involvement in state and federal task forces. An example of

one of these task forces is the Governor's Task Force on Drug Eradication, which is supported by the State Patrol and its aviation unit. In F.Y. 1998, GSP troopers and pilots seized over $960,000 in currency, more than 45 kilos of cocaine, and more than 1800 pounds of marijuana.the Georgia State Patrol is a member of the Indoor Marijuana Growth Task Force, which is funded through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. This program has added to the number of seizures the Department has had. The Department also developed a K-9 program of drug detection dogs to

assist with seizure efforts. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor is
recommending $122,302 for the expansion of the Basic Communication Officers course from 40 hours to 64 hours. The expansion would include 24 hours of courses in emergency medical dispatch. Emergency medical dispatch courses teach Communication Officers to deliver scripted pre-arrival medical instructions to callers in an effort to save lives during medical emergencies.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Public Service Commission is responsible for regulating public utility and transportation industries under its jurisdiction. The commission ensures that consumers receive adequate and reliable service at reasonable rates. At the same time, however, the commission must provide regulated companies the opportunity to earn a fair return on their investments.
The Public Service Commission is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency consisting of a 5-member board of commissioners elected by statewide general election for a 6-year term. The agency also has a staff of engineers, auditors, analysts, inspectors, enforcement officers and others who perform a variety of technical, enforcement and administrative duties. The commission is organized into 3 divisions: the Transportation Division, the Utilities Division and the Administrative Division. The Administrative Division handles support and coordination services for the entire commission.
JURISDICTION The Public Service Commission has jurisdiction over
the following services: Transportation--Railroads, commercial transport of
persons or property on state highways (not including school buses, taxicabs, buses, tow trucks, and several others), dock or wharfage companies, terminal station companies and miscellaneous others.
Utilities--Gas and electric light and power companies, natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution facilities, telephone and telegraph companies, and for-hire radio communications and dispatch systems.
These industries must abide by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Public Service Commission and must request approval for any changes in the rates, types or quality of services provided.

TRANSPORTATION In its regulation of the transportation industry, the
commission strives to provide a viable and safe motor and rail transportation system for the benefit of the public. The commission's Transportation Division enforces state and federal laws and regulations governing the operation of trucks, buses and other regulated motor carriers. The division inspects maintenance and driver's records, enforces safety standards, checks insurance requirements and investigates complaints about service or rates.
UTILITIES In regulating public utilities, the commission exercises
jurisdiction over the rates and types of service most of Georgia's citizens receive. The commission oversees the safety and maintenance of 500 miles of natural gas transmission lines and over 20,000 miles of distribution lines that transport over one-third of the state's energy supply to 2 million gas customers.
Regulated public utility companies are required to keep the commission informed of their operations and fmancial status. The commission's Utilities Division audits fmancial reports and analyzes rate filings, fuel recovery cases and other matters filed by regulated gas, electric and telephone companies.
When regulated companies request permission to change rates or services, the commission may conduct hearings and subpoena witnesses to gather evidence regarding the need for any changes. The commission staff prepares background information, conducts financial analyses and forecasting, and provides technical assistance to the commissioners.
AUTHORITY Title 46 of Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

The Public Service Commission

(PSC) has exclusive power to decide

what are fair and reasonable rates for

services under its jurisdiction. With

few exceptions, the Commission

determines what rates utilities and

other regulated telecommunications

and transportation industries can

charge, and the service they must

provide to the public. Therefore, the

commission's actions affect citizens

every time they pick up a telephone,

tum on a light or purchase

merchandise transported by a truck.

The responsibilities of the Public

Service Commission include:

Reviewing requests from

regulated industries to change rates.

Improving the safety of

Georgia's transportation system and

natural gas operations.

Providing for long range

planning to promote efficient use of

energy resources.

Facilitating competition and

ensuring a good quality of service in

the new natural gas and

telecommunications

competitive

environment.

Responding to complaints.

The scope of jurisdiction and

responsibilities are changing for the

commission. In 1995, the General

Assembly passed legislation to

deregulate telecommunications. In

1997, the Legislature passed

legislation to deregulate the natural

gas industry with the deregulation of

the electric industry inevitable. By

deregulating these utilities, the

mission of the commission will

change from a regulator to a supporter

of competition.

In fulfilling its responsibilities,

the commission holds hearings on

various rate cases, conducts vehicle

safety inspections and gas safety

inspections,

and

handles

approximately 5,000 consumer

complaints about regulated services.

The commission is authorized to

investigate and gather evidence, issue

orders, hear appeals, and institute

court proceedings to enforce its

decisions, rules and regulations.

ROADSIDE INSPECTIONS One of the objectives of the
Public Service Commission is to improve the safety of the highways to reduce accidents. The program is named the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). The federal government provides a 80% federal / 20% state match for this program. Each year 15 million commercial motor vehicles travel Georgia's roads..
MCSAP officers perform about 30,000 truck inspections each year. Each officer is certified by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council and specially trained to inspect motor vehicles. In addition, the enforcement officers are the only law enforcement officers specially trained to inspect trucks hauling hazardous materials or waste in Georgia. The officers inspect about 5,000 vehicles transporting hazardous materials each year. Officers also assist at the scene of hazardous materials incidents and conduct follow-up investigations.
Enforcement officers perform 5 different levels of random inspections. Level I is the North American Standard Inspection which includes both the driver and the vehicle. All mechanical parts of the truck are manually tested, and all paperwork and driver condition are surveyed. The other levels are:
Level II: Walk-Around Driver/ Vehicle Inspection. (Not as detailed as a Level I.)
Level III: Driver-only Inspection.
Level IV: Special Inspection. Level V: Vehicle-only Inspection.
RATE CASES The Public Service Commission
and its staff review and analyze requests by regulated industries to establish new rates, offer new services, modify existing services or implement new technology. At the rate hearings, both the utility and the commission's staff present testimony
449

concerning financial and technical information. Expert testimony and public witnesses are also heard during the hearing. After all the testimony is presented, the commissioners decide what, if any, rate/service changes are granted.
GAS PIPELINE SAFETY The Public Service Commission
ensures that natural gas is delivered to consumers through the safest possible system by inspecting gas suppliers, pipelines, storage facilities, systems and operators. This program is the Gas Pipeline Safety Program which is funded 50% federal / 50% state. The safety checks ensure pipes are not rusting, proper pressure regulation and safeguards are in place, proper odorant is in use to warn of leaks, and employee drug testing is conducted.
The Commission is responsible for inspecting 84 municipal gas systems, 126 master meter operators, 2 transportation pipelines, 2 publicly held gas systems, 5 liquefied natural gas plants, and 2 direct sales interstate pipeline suppliers. In addition to inspections, the inspectors conduct annual gas safety training seminars for gas system operators. In F.Y 2000, the Governor recommends adding one additional Gas Pipeline inspector.
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANS
Since 1991, Georgia's 2 investorowned electric power companies have been required to file an integrated resource plan (IRP) with the commission at least every 3 years. The purpose of the IRP is to promote a long-term approach to providing energy and encouraging energy conservation.
The IRP includes the utility's energy and demand forecasts over a 20-year period. The Commission evaluates the IRP for its feasibility, reliability, and cost. In addition, the commission must certify new construction of electric plants and

NATURAL GAS

DEREGULATION.

In 1997, the General Assembly

passed the Natural Gas Competition

and Deregulation Act.

This

legislation deregulates segments of

the natural gas industry. The

Commission has gone from a

regulator of monopoly local service

providers to a facilitator of

competition while protecting the

public against unfair competition and

abuse of market position.

The Natural Gas Bill directly

impacts 2 investor-owned utilities,

Atlanta Gas Light Company and

United Cities Gas Company. These 2

companies will maintain the gas lines

and sell gas to marketers. The

marketers in tum will sell the gas to

the customers. The cost that the gas

companies charge the marketers will

stay regulated. Marketers will offer

competitive prices to the end users,

residential and small business customers. The law includes safeguards so that the marketers do not "cherry pick" customers and leave other customers unserved or paying higher prices. Beginning November 1, 1998, gas customers in Georgia can choose from 19 marketers of natural gas that have been certified by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The PSC certifies companies based on their technical and fmancial ability to reliably serve Georgia consumers. Each company must meet stringent requirements designed to protect Georgia consumers.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS LEGISLATION
The 1998 General Assembly passed 3 major consumer protection bills that the PSC must implement in F.Y 2000. House Bill 71, the Telemarketing No Call Bill, HB 1130, the Slamming Bill, and SB 522 the Cramming Bill. Along with SB 215, passed by the 1997 General

Assembly, which deregulated the Natural Gas industry, these bills dramatically increase the workload for the Consumer Affairs Division of the Public Service Commission.
HB 71, the Telemarketing No Call Bill allows residential phone customers to apply to the Public Service Commission to be placed on a list that makes it illegal for telemarketers to solicit them. The customer pays $5 to be placed on this list for a two year period. This list is updated regularly and the telemarketers purchase the list from the Public Service Commission for a $10 fee. The Public Service Commission has contracted with a vendor to create a database of subscribers to the no call list, and to distribute the list to telemarketers. The vendor will also collect subscriber fees and bill telemarketers for use of the no call list. HB 1130, the Telecommunications Marketing Act of 1998 is commonly known as the "Slamming Bill". Slamming

LEGISLATION IMPACTING THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Senate Bill 215 - Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act - Deregulation of the natural gas industry. Customers will purchase natural gas from marketers certified by the Public Service Commission. Prior to this legislation, customers were served only by one natural gas company.
Senate Bill 522 - Amendment to the Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 Prohibits cramming by phone companies. Cramming occurs when a phone company adds additional services to your phone service without your permission, and charges you for these services.
House Bill 1130 - Telecommunications Marketing Act of 1998 - Prohibits slamming by phone companies. Slamming occurs when a phone company switches your long distance phone service without your permission.
House Bill 71 - Telemarketing No Call Bill- This bill makes it illegal for telemarketers to solicit phone customers who are placed on a "No Call List".

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services

occurs when a phone company switches your long distance service without your permission. SB 522 amends the Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 to include the prohibition of cramming by phone companies. Cramming occurs when a phone company adds additional services to your phone service without your permission, and charges you for these services. These 3 pieces of

legislation passed by the General Assembly in 1998 will increase the demand on customer service provided by the Public Service Commission. addition of the bills passed by the General Assembly, along with the implementation of the deregulation of the natural gas industry, the Commission is projecting over 100,000 customer contacts in F.Y 2000.
In F.Y 2000, the Governor

recommends converting 2 temporary consumer affairs regulatory specialist positions to permanent status, and adding I additional consumer affairs regulatory specialist to meet the increasing demands placed on the Public Service Commission.

Strategies and Services

Higher education has a proud history in the state of Georgia. The beginnings of this tradition can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres for the endowment of "a college or seminary of learning." From that humble start, the University System of Georgia has grown to include 4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, and 15 associate degree colleges, which cumulatively enrolled 200,102 students in the fall of 1998.
Any growing organization must have a vision to guide its decisions, and the University System has completed a comprehensive strategic plan. A cornerstone of the plan is the assurance that the system is meeting the needs of the state by maximizing the full potential of its resources. Efforts are currently underway to develop budget strategies that link objectives for enrollment, workforce needs and capital priorities to resource requirements in meaningful and realistic ways. Guiding this work is a vision statement adopted by the Board of Regents that says, in part: "As Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will lead in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and colleges, Georgia's will be recognized for first-rate undergraduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service... The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and universities will sustain close contact with the people of Georgia, be responsive to the needs of Georgians first and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state."
According to the November 1998 article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Georgia now ranks tenth nationwide in terms of higher education funding and enjoys considerable prestige in the education community. Governor Barnes' initiatives target resources to 4 major

areas within the University System: facilities, teacher preparation, improving access to education and development of high tech industry.
FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT Governor Barnes recommends a
total of $206,290,000 in new construction, planning and design, and renovation projects in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget. These projects include: an expansion of the School of architecture for Southern Polytechnic State University ($12,690,000); an instructional complex for Gordon College ($14,880,000); an Environmental and Sciences building for Georgia Tech ($36,620,000); a Health and Natural Science building for North Georgia College and State University ($18,930,000); a Student Learning Center for the University of Georgia ($42,315,000); and the Gwinnett Center for UGA/Perimeter College ($21,755,000).
The Governor's capital outlay plan is based on a priority list developed by the Board of Regents,

and is designed to meet the projected needs of the system as a whole.
In addition, Governor Barnes has also authorized $51,540,892 in major repair and rehabilitation (MRR) funds in F.Y. 2000, and increased the MRR formula-funding factor from .99% to 1.02% of total replacement value. The MRR fund increase illustrates the Governor's commitment to maintaining and protecting higher education facilities.
The Equipment, Technology and Construction Trust Fund provides for the purchase of needed equipment at the institutions, thus enabling them to increase student's experience with recent technological advancements. Specifically, funds have been used to purchase advanced equipment for classrooms and high technology laboratories, and to build and equip technology-related facilities. The Governor recommends that $15 million be allocated to this fund in F.Y. 2000, once again designating $3 million for Unit "B" activities.

MOVING TOWARD THE NEW MILLENIUM
Under the guidance of the Chancellor and the Board of Regents, the University System of Georgia has focused on several areas that have received significant support from Governor Barnes. Many of these initiatives are critical to the future success of the System. Both the Board of Regents and the Governor have placed considerable emphasis and resources in the areas of systemwide higher standards, greater access to higher education for the citizens of Georgia and statewide economic development.
RAISING SYSTEM QUALITY AND STANDARDS - Many efforts have been made to increase both the academic standards of the University System and the quality of instruction. In order to prepare Georgia's students to meet new admission standards, the Governor recommends $4 million in F.Y. 2000. to support the Teacher Preparation Initiative. In April 1998, the Board of Regents adopted ten principles for the Preparation of Educators for the Schools. These principles are organized into three categories: quality assurance, collaboration and responsiveness. The principles represent a coherent and integrated set of directions for improving teacher quality in Georgia.
The goals of this initiative are: to strengthen the preparation of early childhood and middle school teachers in reading and mathematics; to give added emphasis to the "hands-on" experience of teacher candidates through stronger partnerships between universities and the public schools; to raise significantly the quality of preparation programs for school leaders; and to contribute toward bringing an end to out-of-field teaching in Georgia.
The University System of Georgia will be accountable for the teachers they train. Any teacher prepared by the University System and recommended for certification who does not meet the employing Georgia school's expectations within

the first two years will receive additional training at no expense to the student or to the school. Teachers will be better prepared in mathematics, reading and other core areas and will complete at least the equivalent of academic minors in these areas. More faculty will be hired to strengthen the content preparation of early childhood teachers.
The Board of Regents will seek to expand partner schools. Teacher preparation should be the shared responsibility of university education faculty, arts and science faculty, and classroom teachers in P-12 schools. Through partnerships, faculty will spend more time in the schools, remaining in closer contact with the realities of school practices.
A portion of the Governor's recommendation will allow the Board of Regents to invest in the preparation of school leaders. Proposals for innovative doctoral programs in education will be considered so that future school administrators can have the knowledge and skills to improve student achievement in Georgia's schools.
Out-of-field teaching (teaching a subject with less than an academic minor) is a problem in Georgia schools and part of this initiative will focus on creating a self-paced technology intensive program for individuals seeking careers as teachers in shortage areas. Expanding the number of teaching certification programs offered to individuals who already hold bachelor degrees will increase their opportunity for a midcareer change. Teachers with practical experience in a variety of fields can only be a good resource for students.
In the F.Y. 2000 budget, Governor Barnes supports several ongoing initiatives focused on improving education quality and standards. Connecting Teachers and Technology initiative's goal is to increase the number of courses which integrate technology into the instructional process by preparing teachers in various technologies, to teach via distance learning networks,
479

and to explore the contributions of

technology instruction. The Governor

recommends $4,820,000 in F.Y. 2000

to continue this initiative. P-16lPost

secondary Readiness Enrichment

Program (PREP) is designed to

provide supplementary academic

readiness programs for middle school

children in at-risk situations who

show potential, but may not be able to

meet the new admission standards for

the University System.

The

Governor recommends $180,000 for

the program in F.Y. 2000.

In an effort to provide the system

with quality faculty, the Governor

recommends five Eminent Scholars

in F.Y. 2000 to match private funds

for Endowed Chairs in business at

Georgia Southern University

($500,000); business at Clayton

College and State University

($500,000); private enterprise at

Kennesaw State University

($500,000); international education at

Columbus State University

($500,000); and industrial operations

at Dalton College ($500,000).

In addition to currently existing

programs, a portion of the Board of

Regents $66.5 million redirection will

be used to add funding to provide

quality programs to Georgia students

demanding services and to provide for

instructional technology including

hardware, software, maintenance and

training.

IMPROVING ACCESS TO EDUCATION
Because of the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, a college education is now within the reach of young people from all of Georgia's families. The state is providing opportunities for many students to attend college while keeping quality students in our own state.
Governor Barnes recommends state funds of$1.5 million in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget and $2 million in F.Y. 2000 for the Cooperative Engineering Program. This new program seeks to address three major goals: to produce more engineering

graduates to meet the need for wellqualified engineers over the next decade, especially in the areas of computer and electrical engineering; to enhance access to engineering education in areas of the state with cyclical shortages in key engineering fields; and, to increase the number of engineers with graduate degrees by offering innovative distance learning programs to professionals currently working in the workforce. This initiative seeks to build on the existing strengths of the Georgia Institute of Technology to offer programs in additional areas of the state. The initial implementation will

be in the Statesboro/Savannah region. Georgia Tech will work with the University System to provide access to existing Master degrees available in electrical and environmental engineering, develop targeted Master of Science degrees in areas such as systems engineering and software engineering, and develop two cooperative degree programs in the following areas: Bachelor of Science in Computer and Software Engineering and Bachelor of Science with a major in Civil Engineering. These two cooperative undergraduate degree programs will provide a new model for engineering delivery to

help local areas attract students and produce graduates who will find employment in the region. Within this framework, students from the partner universities will have access to degree programs and faculty from their universities will be instructors. It will take full advantage of distance learning and can support both traditional and non-traditional students.
The University of Georgia's "electronic library" system is regarded as a national model with a remarkable track record in just 3 years of operation. GALILEO has recorded over 11 million "hits" or

480

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

searches. Currently, 34 University System libraries, the Governor's Office, three legislative research offices, 60 public libraries, 34 technical institutes and 33 private educational institutions are linked to the system. Plans are underway to add 101 additional public libraries and 1,818 K-12 libraries to the GALILEO family. The Governor recommends $1,939,000 in lottery funding for GALILEO.
In an effort to improve access to educational services, the Governor recommends $1.5 million in state general funds for the expansion of the current Statewide System of Desktop Learning known as "Georgia On-Line". This network meets the educational needs of working professionals throughout Georgia by offering both credit and non-credit courses over the World Wide Web. This cutting-edge technology advancement, known as the "virtual university", helps the University System of Georgia maintain its competitiveness with other systems across the nation. The F. Y. 2000 funding will broaden the two-year pilot project to produce online credit and non-credit courses, and plan for current and future distance education.
The Governor's F.Y. 2000 recommendation includes a continuation item that reflects his commitment to greater access; $527,000 is recommended in lottery funds to continue the Connecting Students and Services Initiative. These funds will maintain current service levels which improve the access of students to the services required for a successful academic experience.
HIGH TECH INDUSTRY BASE DEVELOPMENT
Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 Budget launches an economic development initiative to make Georgia a preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for this rapidly growing economic sector. The Governor's initiative brings together the strengths and expertise of

the University System, the Georgia

Research Alliance, and the

Department of Industry, Trade and

Tourism with the express goal of

making Georgia the preeminent

leader in an emerging high

technology sector.

This initiative represents a

paradigm shift in the state's economic

development efforts. Its defining and

critical component is the development

of the state's most valuable assets - its

people and the product of their

accumulated knowledge, or in other

words its intellectual capital and

property. At the project's core is the

development and maintenance of the

knowledge and human talent required

to support this new industry.

The significance of this initiative

is the combination of focused

research, educational capacity

development,

commercialization

support, and targeted marketing all

directed toward building this new

industry sector. This unique initiative

will be overseen by a multi-

organizational team consisting of

representatives from the private

sector, government and the state's

universities. The project will support

fundamental and applied research,

expedite the transfer of intellectual

property to the commercial world,

assist start-up and relocating

companies for getting established in

the state, ensure industry-endorsed

student and professional training in

relevant fields, and work to attract

large companies in the targeted

industry sector.

Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000

Budget includes $13,625,000 to begin

the focused research, educational

capacity building, marketing, and

commercialization effort required for

this initiative. Funding of $4.65

million is dedicated to increasing the

educational capacity of the state to

support this industry by providing for

new faculty, curriculum change, and

continuing education for individuals

in the relevant fields. An additional

$4 million is devoted to focused

industry research in 5 specialized

areas to provide the basis for next

generation industry products. In

481

order to facilitate the commercial success of products emerging from this research, the F.Y. 2000 Budget also provides $2,925,000 for commercialization, including $2.5 million in seed capital to be matched at a rate of 3 to I by the private sector. This seed fund, which is targeted at a total State fund commitment of $5 million over the next 2 to 3 years, will leverage $15 million in private venture capital to bring new ideas and products to the marketplace. To coordinate the University System's efforts, $425,000 is provided for operational staffing, incubator support and development of an intellectual capital mart.
The University System's efforts will be complimented by a vigorous marketing and sales effort on the part of the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. The Governor recommends $2,050,000 to market the state to companies and individuals in this new industry sector. This funding provides for $1.9 million in marketing funds as well as one staff person for the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism to focus on "selling the State" to individuals and companies in this new industry segment.
The benefits to be gained from this substantial investment are farreaching. By 2005, this initiative aims to add 2,000 high paying engineering jobs in Georgia, locate or see established ten key companies within the state, and increase fourfold the supply of venture capital available to fledgling Georgia businesses in this industry sector. The project's longterm goal is to build a sustainable economic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries.
OVERALL SYSTEM FUNDING Since 1992, the University
System of Georgia has enjoyed an 83% increase in total state appropriations. Governor Barnes recommends $1,593,252,836 in F.Y. 2000 for the University System and its attached agencies, not including the pay raise package. This total represents an increase in support not

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

only for traditional programs, but also for new and innovative initiatives that have propelled the University System of Georgia to the forefront of the national higher education scene.
The University System of Georgia has continued to achieve the fundamental mission of instruction, research and public service. With continuing support from Governor Barnes', the system will continue to focus on critical areas such as improving academic standards, participating in statewide economic development and increasing access to the system and its resources.
TEACHER SALARIES To provide Georgia's colleges
and universities with quality professors to teach the rising number of students, Governor Barnes continues to support increases in faculty salaries. In F.Y. 1992, Georgia ranked seventh among the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states in annual faculty salary at four-year public institutions, with an average salary of $42,766. This year, projections indicate that Georgia will at least maintain its second place among SREB states with a salary of $59,592. Recognizing the importance of attracting and maintaining excellent employees, Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendations include $40,506,241 to provide a 4% merit-based pay increase for University faculty and staff. Based on this increase and projections developed for other states, Georgia will have an average annual faculty salary at four-year institutions of $61,976, a significant increase over the national average salary. Consistent increases in teacher salaries have made Georgia competitive at the national level in the area of teacher recruitment. Governor Barnes' commitment to keeping the faculty salaries competitive will benefit the entire system and improve the quality of education available to students at Georgia's colleges and universities.

Since 1970, the Marine Extension Service of the University of Georgia has worked to provide assistance to Georgia's $60 million seafood industry. Georgia's seafood processing plants are among the largest in the southeast and employ over 1,600 full-time and seasonal workers. Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendation for this agency includes funds for a marine aquaculture specialist and supplies to explore the feasibility of farming finfish in Georgia. The total F.Y. 2000 recommendation for the Marine Extension Service is $1,509,634.
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech stimulates the formation of technology-based companies and assists in their growth and development. ATDC graduate companies employ over 2,700 people and had a 1997 combined income of over $330 million. Ten companies graduated in 1998 and they expect at least ten to graduate in 1999. ATDC business incubators will soon be a part of two new GRA supported facilities at the Applied Genetics Technology Center at UGA and the Biotechnology Development Center at Emory University.

Institute of Technology's Economic Development Institute (EDI), several initiatives are underway to attract new industry to the state and improve the competitiveness of small and medium sized manufacturers. Through new programs such as FaciliTech, EDI provides technical assistance to companies expanding in or moving to Georgia. Facilitech is a state economic development incentive that supports the re-Iocation, expansion or retention off companies by providing in-depth access to specialized technical assistance. Since March 1996, 33 projects have been completed and 10 are currently in progress. For F.Y. 2000, Governor Barnes recommends $100,000 to continue Facilitech. These funds were previously funded through the Regional Economic Business Assistance grant program in the department of Community Affairs. Communities across the state use EDI's local impact analysis model

(LOCI) to examine the financial impact of potential investments. This year the Governor is recommending funds for an engineering specialist to assist companies in implementing Lean Manufacturing concepts. This specialist will also train EDI staff to deliver services in this relatively new field, and, funds for a communications specialist to support these efforts. The Governor also recommends $175,000 to add two new information technology engineers in the Albany and Macon regional offices. ATDC/EDI funding in F.Y. 2000 is $10,866,455.
Another significant piece of economic development in Georgia is the Traditional Industries Program. While the Georgia Research Alliance focuses on the creation of new industry, the Traditional Industries Program (TIP) is designed to help our large existing industry base in food processing, pulp and paper, and carpet, textile, and apparel stay

483

competitive in the face of increasing

international competition and

technological change.

The program is unique in the

driving role assumed by industry.

Industry partners identify problems

and define the research agenda, and

then continue to work with university-

based researchers throughout the

projects. Funded projects are

expected to improve companies'

manufacturing

processes,

environmental performance, and

product development. In addition,

food safety is a priority for the food

processing industry, and fiber supply

a priority for the pulp and paper

industry.

Governor Barnes

recommends

$15580000

($4,235,000 in state general funds' and

$11,345,000 in bonds) this year to

support this program.

The investment includes

$3,715,000 for industry-driven

research projects. It also includes

$2,285,000 for equipment needed to

carry out the research. In addition,

Governor Barnes recommends

$75,000 in the F.Y. 1999 Amended

Budget and $100,000 in the F.Y.

2000 Budget for urgent technical

assistance for small and medium sized

meat and poultry processors facing

tougher Hazard Analysis and Critical

Control Points (HACCP) regulations.

This assistance will help prevent

temporary plant closings due to

violations. For many of these plants,

even a short shutdown can tum into a

permanent closing, since customers

may find other suppliers. Because

many of these plants are in small

Georgia communities, closings of any

length can have a devastating impact

on local economies.

This year, the Traditional

Industries investment package

includes significant funds for facility

construction and improvements. A

$2,125,000 for pulp and paper, and

$1,628,000 (plus $750,000 for

renovations) for carpet, textile, and

apparel.

The Georgia Environmental

Partnership (GEP) is a partnership

comprised of the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P2AD) of the

Department of Natural Resources, the

Economic Development Institute

(ED!) at Georgia Tech, and the

Department of Biological and

Agricultural Engineering (BAE) at

the University of Georgia. GEP's

mission is to leverage the financial

and human resources of its members

to provide a coordinated delivery of

technical assistance that promotes the

adoption of pollution prevention,

energy efficiency, and environmental

compliance throughout Georgia. GEP

seeks to avoid duplication of services

while

providing

seamless

environmental assistance to business.

Governor Barnes continues the

funding for GEP at the $300,000

level. These funds leverage other

funds available to the partners to help

industry with on-site assessments, by-

product recovery, and information

about best practices.

THE VISION OF GEORGIA'S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM - All initiatives and developments must be consistent with the vision of the University System of Georgia. The 3 basic programs of the System are instruction, research and public service.
RESIDENT INSTRUCTION The "A" Unit of the University System budget funds resident instruction at all 34 institutions and represents the largest commitment of money and personnel. The resident instruction portion of the F.Y. 1999 Budget was $1,338,763,639. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $1,373,605,912. Resident instruction

F.Y. 2000 State Funds Unit B Recommendation - $177,413,969

Agriculture Research and
Extension 43%

is formula-funded and places considerable emphasis on enrollment growth.
Another component of the formula addresses funding for major repair and rehabilitation of all University System assets. Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendation changes the formula to fund these repairs at 1.02% of the replacement value of $5,053,028,625. MRR is currently funded at 0.99% of replacement value.
The "A" Unit also contains funding for Special Funding Initiatives, Forestry Research, the Student Education Enrichment Program, the Office of Minority Business Enterprises and the Research Consortium..
RESEARCH - System research funds are generated by the formula. However, additional funds are recommended to support the research functions of several "B" Unit

activities.

Governor Barnes

recommends that the "B" Unit receive

$177,413,969 in state funds for F.Y.

2000.

Research projects conducted by

the University System's institutions

increase the national prestige of the

system as a whole. Georgia creates

research opportunities and reaps the

benefits of pure and applied research

findings.

One important research activity is

the Agricultural Technology

Research Program at Georgia Tech.

Governor Barnes is including funds to

increase information systems research

in F.Y. 2000. One new project

involves the development of a

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control

Points (HACCP) Support Technology

Thrust which helps poultry and all

agribusiness find better technologies

for controlling and ensuring the safety

of the food products they produce.

Researchers will explore the use of

484

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

advanced computer vision and wearable computer technology systems.
Another important research function is the University of Georgia's Agricultural Experiment Station. The mission of this unit is to conduct research and provide information on the factors that influence agriculture in Georgia. Current research efforts focus on the environment, peanut, poultry and cotton production and developing WorldWide Web pages to enhance electronic information dissemination. The total F.Y. 2000 recommendation for the Agricultural Experiment Stations is $42,655,541. These funds include a recommendation of $790,000 to increase funds for maintenance and utility expenses.
The Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) is helping to create an environment in Georgia that 1) is conducive to high-tech company growth, 2) improves Georgia's image as an advanced technology state, and 3) produces more high-paying, good quality jobs for Georgians. The goal is to position Georgia among the top five states in the nation with a technology-based economy as we move into the 21 51 century.
Georgia's research universities, in collaboration with one another, continue to expand their research portfolios, based in part on key investments in people, facilities, and equipment funded by the state through GRA. This commitment by the state has catapulted Georgia into the small group of states that leads the nation in state support of the research enterprise as a key element of its economic development strategy. Governor Barnes' recommends $42.7 million in the F. Y. 1999 Amended Budget for GRA. This investment includes $3 million to fund endowments that will be used to recruit 4 additional Eminent Scholars to Georgia, bringing the total number of GRA Endowed Chairs to 32. The recruitment of these scholars to the state continues to be the key component of GRA's success. These research stars successfully compete

for a disproportionate share of funded

research, attract the best graduate

students, and create the most interest

on the part of companies. Not long

ago, the Wall Street Journal credited

Georgia's recruitment strategy with

redefining economic competition

among the states.

The investment also includes

$34,750,000

for

laboratory

construction and specialized

instrumentation in support of

collaborative

research

and

development led by eminent scholars

and other top researchers. GRA

provides the infrastructure needed to

generate scientific breakthroughs that

lead to new products and techniques

that can be developed, manufactured,

and then deployed into lucrative new

markets creating new wealth for

Georgians.

Governor Barnes recommends

expanding Georgia's capacity to

move products from research and

development to commercialization

through the addition of a technology

development center at the

Environmental Science & Technology

Building at Georgia Tech. This

center will provide an

interdisciplinary

environment

favorable to the creation of new

businesses. Through the integration of

technical, management, financial, and

legal services, researchers and

entrepreneurs will bring new

environmental technologies to the

market.

Finally, in a related

recommendation (not part of the GRA

total) the Governor proposes

$450,000 in the F.Y. 2000 Budget for

the

Advanced

Technology

Development Center (ATDC) at

Georgia Tech to staff and operate the

new GRA Applied Genetics

Technology Center at the University

of Georgia, and the Biotechnology

Development Center at Emory. This

unique collaboration among the

universities leverages the expertise of

ATDC, an award-winning incubator,

and builds on its successful operation

of the Georgia Center for Advanced

Telecommunications Technology

(GCATT) incubator. The funding

485

also includes an additional ATDC

position for the GCATT incubator.

PUBLIC SERVICE - Service

activities provide assistance to groups

or individuals outside the traditional

classroom. The "A" Unit provides

extensive continuing education

classes and receives funds for Public

Service Institutes such as the State

Data Center at Georgia Tech and the

Carl Vinson Institute of Government

at the University of Georgia. Many

other service activities are funded

through the "B" Unit.

The Cooperative Extension

Service, based at the University of

Georgia, is one such program. The

principal focus of the program is

agriculture - embracing the food and

fiber industries, horticulture, natural

resources and the environment. In

addition, the Cooperative Extension

Service supports programs in home

economics and the statewide 4-H

initiative. This year, the Governor

recommends funds for ten new county

agents to aid in service delivery to

communities. The recommendation

also includes funds to develop a print-

on-demand system and the purchase

of associated equipment, a position to

schedule conferences at the Rural

Development Center in Tifton and

other college facilities, and a faculty

position to develop an accountability

system. The total F.Y. 2000 Budget

recommendation for the Cooperative

Extension Service is $33,693,720.

This includes an enhancement item of

$210,000 to increase their funds for

maintenance and utility expenses.

The Medical College of Georgia

Hospital and Clinics serve as the

teaching hospital for the University

System and focus on meeting the

medical and health care needs of the

citizens of Georgia. The hospital and

clinics support services in local

communities through various

outreach initiatives such as

telemedicine or community clinics.

The total F.Y. 2000 recommended

budget for the hospital and clinics is

$34,397,549.

Since its establishment in 1982,

the

Georgia

Public

Telecommunication Commission

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

(GPTC) has pushed towards its

mISSiOn: to create, produce, and

distribute high quality programs and

services that educate, inform, and

entertain audiences and enrich the

quality of their lives. To carry out its

mission, GPTC operates nine

television stations and 13 radio

stations statewide Georgia Public

Telecommunications Commission's

state-of-the-art broadcast and

production center, the most

technologically advanced public

broadcasting facility in the country,

has been in operation since August

1997. The new digital environment-

the television technology of the new

millenium-has greatly expanded the

capabilities of Georgia Public

Broadcasting.

PeachStar-the

Commission's educational service's

satellite delivery system-has

continued to provide quality

programming for every Georgia

school and any other institution

statewide that is equipped with a

satellite dish. The Commission also

has other channels available for

statewide teleconferences and

professional development. Special

statewide "town hall meetings" can be

held in one of the large studios

offered at the new facility enabling information dissemination. Training performed this way can assist every state agency and the constituent groups they serve in reducing travel expenses, traffic and air pollution as well as time away from the office and ensuring that everyone has the same information at the same time. Tapes are made of the sessions/programs and can be shared with those unable to attend or with new individuals when they join an organization. An example of this effort_ is the Y2K awareness campaign Georgia Public Broadcasting is currently producing in conjunction with the Department of Community Affairs. These programs provide timely, critical information to local community and county governments around Georgia in an easily accessible manner and format. In addition to video capabilities, Georgia Public Broadcasting is able to distribute data via satellite to sites across the state and the nation. These data streams-which can include program schedules, bulletin boards, calendar information, newsletter, teacher's guides, lesson plans, Quality Core Curriculum correlation material,

student activity materials, public

service material, emergency

information--ensure equal access to

important information in a timely,

efficient and economical manner to

all areas of the state.

With every public school,

regional library, college and technical

institution statewide equipped with

satellite technology, these entities

have the capability to receive

educational programming from over

25 satellites. GPTC also purchased a

satellite transponder, allowing the

state to broadcast educational

programming to every Georgia school

and any other institution statewide

that has a satellite dish. Distance

learning programming has expanded

educational opportunities for Georgia

students. The Governor recommends

for F.Y. 2000, $16,266,955 in general

funds for personnel and operating

expenses and $2,000,000 in lottery

funds for the purchase of additional

educational programming. Governor

Barnes also recommends $4,515,000

in F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget bonds

for GPTC to address the Federal

Communications

Commission's

mandate that all public television

stations convert to a digital signal by

2003.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Revenue is responsible for administering the state's tax laws and for the timely collection and processing of state revenues and taxes. Other duties include the registration and licensing of motor vehicles and the regulation of tobacco and alcoholic beverages. In a typical year, the Department of Revenue processes over 15 million documents, maintains millions of taxpayer accounts and registers over 7 million motor vehicles.
TAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, the
Department collected a total of $11.2 billion in revenues. The major taxes and fees collected by the Department are:
Individual and Corporate Income Taxes. Sales and Use Taxes. Motor Fuel Taxes. Alcoholic Beverage Taxes. Tobacco Taxes. Miscellaneous Taxes and Fees. The Department also collects about $2.3 billion in taxes designated for local entities. The first of these is a 1% sales tax in Fulton and DeKalb Counties that is used as dedicated revenue for the construction and operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). The other 1% sales tax designated for local entities are the local option sales tax, the special purpose tax, and the educational and homestead optional sales taxes. All but 6 counties have a local option sales tax designated for county operations. This tax remains in effect until the voters decide to remove it. The special purpose tax differs from the local option tax because it remains in effect for up to 5 years. The special purpose tax is in effect in 134 counties and is used primarily for road and capital improvements. The Homestead Option Sales and Use Tax Act, which became effective July 1, 1997, allows a county which had not imposed a local option sales tax as of July 1, 1997 to levy, with voter approval, an additional 1% homestead sales tax. The funds a county collects from the 1% homestead sales tax must be used for non-school system capital improvements and services within that county. Presently, of the five counties eligible for the 1% homestead sales tax, DeKalb County is the lone county imposing this sales tax. The Act also permits a county to levy an additional 1% educational sales tax. The revenue a county receives from the 1% educational sales tax can only be spent on capital improvements and bond retirement pertaining to that county's school system. By April 1999, 116 counties will have adopted the 1% educational sales tax.
MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND LICENSING Every motor vehicle, trailer and truck tractor, with certain exceptions, must be registered through the appropriate

county tag agent's office, which the County Tax Collector or County Tax Commissioner. The county tag agent also collects the ad valorem tax and processes applications for tags and/or renewal decals for motor vehicles. The Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division issues and maintains the file system for titles and registrations of over 7 million vehicles in the state.
REGULATION OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO The Department of Revenue enforces all laws and regulations concerning the manufacture, possession, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes within the state. The Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Division has the following duties:
Enforces laws and regulations concerning alcohol and tobacco products and taxes.
Inspects alcohol beverage licensees for compliance with state laws and regulations.
Investigates all liquor license applicants. Confiscates contraband alcohol and tobacco
products. Assists and coordinates law enforcement actions

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Strategies and Services

The Department of Revenue is responsible for the collection of $11 billion in taxes, processing 15 million tax documents, issuing almost $1 billion in tax refunds, and distributing over $1.5 billion to local governments each year. The pie graph on the next page depicts the different types of taxes collected by the Department of Revenue and the percent each type of tax is in regard to total tax collections. The state's ability to deliver government services to its citizens and visitors depends on the department's ability to unerringly administer the state's tax laws.
Recognizing the importance of the department's functions, Governor Barnes will continue the implementation of the "Blueprint for Modernization" which will stabilize systems and enhance the department's management and tax systems. To date, $31,238,790 has been committed to the process. In order to continue the program at an aggressive rate, the Governor has recommended $10,551,163 in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget and $4,902,668 in the F.Y. 2000 Budget.

MODERNIZATION

The

"Blueprint

for

Modernization" contains specific,

targeted solutions in the form of a

comprehensive plan that will

modernize some functional aspect in

every division in the department. The

department is actively instituting

elements from each of the plan's five

distinct parts.

FOCUSING ON THE CUSTOMER

The department has initiated

several programs to improve

customer service. A taxpayer

advocate has been retained to resolve

taxpayer issues that fail to reach

resolution through conventional

avenues in the department. The first

phase of a customer call center with

computer based call distribution and

interactive voice response that will

assist taxpayers with informational

inquiries has been recommended in

the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget.

Taxpayer education materials have been produced for both sales tax and income tax. MANAGING TECHNOLOGY
The department has improved the manner in which information technology projects are aged and monitored, including the new sales tax system and the new motor vehicle registration and title information system that will be operational in September 1999.
The department has developed effective plans in order to address Year 2000 concerns. IMPROVING PERFORMANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The department implemented a program management unit that monitors all major modernization projects to ensure that the projects remain on schedule, do not expand past predetermined budgetary constraints and meet all the prescribed requirements.
Additionally, the department contracted with a private firm to conduct an independent quality assurance review of the sales tax system and the motor vehicle system. A strategic information technology plan was developed to guide all future technology projects, enhancements, and equipment acquisitions.
The department contracted with three private collection agencies to assist in the collection of delinquent taxes. The agencies are compensated through a commission that is based on a percentage of the delinquent taxes that the agency collects as stated in O.C.G.A. 48-2-6; therefore, no state funds are required to retain the services of the private collection agencies. The ultimate goal of the program is to have the private collection agencies collect accounts where taxpayers have not responded to reasonable collection endeavors by the department.
In October 1996, the state began phasing out the 4% state sales tax on certain foods and beverages sold for home consumption. This was the largest sales tax reduction in the

history of the state. The Sales Tax Division coordinated efforts to educate consumers and retail dealers in the state as to how the sales tax reduction would be implemented through tax seminars, promulgation of tax regulations and revision of tax return forms. As of October 1998, the final I% sales tax on certain foods and beverages for home consumption was repealed. The public will realize savings of nearly $563 million through F.Y. 2000.
Lastly, the graph below shows the funds that the department distributed to local entities during the past three fiscal years. ORGANIZING FOR RESULTS
The department is transitioning from a tax type organization to a functional organization, which means that it will be reorganized along functional lines. Key components of the reorganization completed are: securing an Assistant Commissioner for Technology, elevating the head of the Motor Vehicle Division to Deputy Commissioner for Motor Vehicles, and adding and/or strengthening support units of the department. REDESIGNING THE PROCESS
The advent and employment of electronic technology has had and will continue to have a major impact on how taxpayers and the department interact with one another. The department expanded its Internet web page to allow taxpayers access to various tax forms and publications. During the first six months of F.Y. 1999 over 27,000 tax forms and publications were downloaded from the website. Other areas that utilize electronic technology include electronic filing of income tax, electronic tag transmission from the counties and imaging of all types of tax documentation.
YEAR 2000 An average of 54,000 pieces of mail is processed and millions of tax dollars are collected every day. In order to perform these massive daily processing functions the department

523

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services

is dependent on automated systems that must be made Year 2000 compliant which entails ensuring that a number of functions that are predominately date sensitive be able to correctly distinguish and calculate information properly based on dates. Many of the department's older mainframe applications such as those that handle financial calculations, tax assessments, tax penalties and receivables aging were written to store dates using only two digits to represent the year. The new century requires that systems be able to differentiate the year 1900 from 2000, both of which would be represented as "00" by software programs that are not Year 2000 compliant. Date calculations will also be affected. Non-compliant software may calculate the difference between 01/01/99 and 01/01/00 as negative 99 years instead of 1 year. The adverse impact inaccurate calculations could have is immeasurable; therefore, the

department's information technology staff is performing critical remediation work on all systems affected by the Year 2000 problem by:
Rewriting applications that have modernization plans and target dates that precede the system's Year 2000 failure date.
Rewriting applications that have technology so archaic that remediation is not possible and the systems are still critical to the agency's function.
Remediating applications where a rewrite is planned for modernization, but cannot be completed before the known failure date.
Remediating applications where no rewrite is planned.
Replacing applications with off the shelf software wherever possible.
By implementing the abovereferenced efforts, not only will the

applications be corrected but the underlying technologies that those applications use will too.

RETURNS PROCESSING

The department receives and

processes millions of tax returns and

payments from individuals and

businesses. In F.Y. 1998, the

department processed 3.3 million

individual tax returns, 205,000

corporate tax returns, 1.6 million

withholding returns, and 1.5 million

sales tax returns.

Traditionally, the department has

processed these returns and payments

in a labor and paper intensive manner

that is cumbersome and time-

consuming.

By implementing

information technology initiatives

designed to streamline and eliminate

several of the labor intensive steps of

the returns and payment processes,

the department will be able to

improve compliance, ease the burdens

of reporting tax collections and speed

the issuance of distributions. The expansion of electronic fund
transfer, direct deposit of refunds and electronic filing will greatly enhance the current tax systems. Electronic fund transfer provides for the immediate transfer of funds from a taxpayer's account to the department; thus, eliminating the cycle time between receipt of payments and the depositing of those payments. Direct deposit allows taxpayers to have their returns depositing directly into their accounts. In F.Y. 1998, over 100,000 taxpayers chose direct deposit as their method of receiving a refund. Processing returns that are submitted electronically is the most costefficient manner. The cost of processing returns manually is 62% greater than processing returns filed electronically and the error rate for electronically filed returns is 1% as compared to a 17% error rate for traditional mail returns.
JOINT ELECTRONIC FILING Georgia, in addition to 33 other
states, is a member of the Joint

FederaVState Electronic Filing program. As a program participant, Georgia full-year residents receiving refunds may file both their federal and state returns electronically with the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service functions as a conduit and transmits the state returns electronically to the department. In F.Y. 1998, the department experienced a 30% increase in electronically filed returns over F.Y. 1997. More than 486,000 returns were filed electronically, making Georgia number three in volume nationally out of the states participating in the program.
This program is very popular with tax professionals and taxpayers because returns are filed more efficiently, and taxpayers receive their refunds in less time than if they filed their returns through the mail.
These efforts will reduce current and future manpower requirements, provide convenient service, improve efficiency, reduce errors and improve compliance.
The graph on the following page

depicts the number of local sales taxes imposed by the counties during the last three fiscal years.

WITHHOLDING TAXES

House Bill 479, passed during the

1997 legislative session of the

General Assembly, incorporated

several recommendations from the

"Blueprint for Modernization." The

bill affected employer's withholding

by allowing quarterly filing of

returns, and by requiring withholding

statements to be submitted to the

department annually.

The

department's new withholding tax

processing system became effective

January I, 1999.

INTEGRATED TAG AND TITLE SYSTEM
Motor vehicle tag and title operations are the most regular and direct points of contact that each vehicle owner in Georgia has with county and state government. Motor Vehicles processes nearly 2.4 million title applications, 7 million tag registrations and collects $234 million

525

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services

in revenue annually. Currently tag registration and title application are two separate functions that include many manual steps. Once the Georgia Registration and Title Information System, GRATIS, an online integrated tag and title information system is implemented in September 1999, more than 75% of registrations and title application will be processed online in county tag and title offices.
The new system will integrate the two processes in one system and the process will be decentralized and

integrated---data would only be input once, the data would be updated on a real time basis, all intended users such as counties, dealers, lenders and insurance companies would do so online.
Results include faster processing, improved customer service, more effective tracking of all transactions and increased integrity and accuracy of the database-a boon for law enforcement officials.
The fiscal impact of the new system is significant. The department strongly believes that savings of up to

75% can be achieved through functions being eliminated and reductions in the annual operating costs.
As of January 1999, 120 of 159 counties agreed to fully participate in the new system. All counties will have at least one GRATIS terminal. However, those not participating in GRATIS will continue to transfer their tag and title information to DOR as they do now, by mail and electronically, but not directly into the Motor Vehicle Division's database.

OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE

The management staff has confronted this challenge and is using the strategic planning process to make changes to its operation. Technology will help the office in enhancing its service delivery. The department is constantly improving its internet site to provide useful information to the public.

SECURITIES

The Securities Division regulates

the sale of securities within and from

Georgia. Securities range from

common stocks and bonds to

investment contracts, limited

partnerships,

profit-sharing

arrangements and derivatives. The

division also regulates perpetual care

cemeteries, charitable organizations

and paid solicitors.

The main focus of the division is

securities investment. Georgians lose

millions of dollars to securities fraud.

The fraudulent activities are usually

over the phone using high-pressure

sales tactics.

The federal government passed the National Securities Markets Enforcement Act of 1996, which went into affect July 8, 1997. This Act gives department exclusive regulatory oversight of the operations of investment advisors with assets less than $25 million. Previously, federal and state government shared these responsibilities. The department will be more aggressive with regulating investment advisors because of its exclusive authority. Currently, 1,200 investment advisor firms operate in the state with 900 falling under this new law.
PRIVATIZATION OF THE GEORGIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY-SAVANNAH BRANCH DEPOSITORY
The Georgia Historical Society proposes to continue privatization of the Savannah Branch Depository, Georgia Department of Archives, which is located in Hodgson Hall, the Society's statewide headquarters in Savannah. The privatization will join the depository and the Georgia Historical Society so that the management of the depository is completely under the society. The goal of the privatization is to have a more efficiently run operation and expand services for the people of Georgia.
The Georgia General Assembly

in 1839 established the Georgia Historical Society, which is a private, non-profit organization, which serves as the historical society for the State of Georgia. In 1966, the Legislature designated the Georgia Historical Society a Branch Depository of the Department of Archives and History. The society's mission is to collect, preserve, and share the history of Georgia by offering a monthly lecture series; publishing books, a quarterly newsletter, and The Georgia Historical Quarterly; offering technical assistance and guidance; sponsoring tours to historic sites, conferences, and workshops on the care of records and documents; and by actively collecting and preserving historical resources and materials. By consolidating the management of the depository under the Historical Society, the services provided to the public will be more efficient and a cost savings to the state.

STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission was established to ensure that Georgia's soil and water resources are protected. The commission's primary responsibilities include:
Overseeing the administration of the commission.
Coordinating Georgia's 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
Providing educational programs on the conservation of state soil and water resources.
Developing and implementing conservation programs.
Reviewing and approving watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.
Assisting and guiding districts and other entities with provisions of the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975.
Providing information on the prevention of agricultural non-point pollution.
In 1998, the commission conducted 103 erosion and sediment control workshops, and was successful in preventing the erosion of over 1.1 million tons of soil through its conservation programs. The commission reviewed 8,561 erosion control plans under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975. Overall, 1.125 million acres of Georgia land received conservation treatment.
Commission members are appointed by the Governor to serve 5 year terms. There are 5 commission members in

all, 1 of whom is designated chairman. Commission members act in an advisory capacity to guide and direct commission activities.
The commission has 2 divisions:
COMMISSION AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION This division is responsible for ensuring that the
policies and programs of the commission are carried out. Its activities include providing administrative, clerical and limited technical support to the 40 State Conservation Districts and their 370 district supervisors.
DISTRICT REGIONAL AND OFFICE OPERATIONS This division is primarily responsible for providing
field support to districts; providing technical assistance to landowners and governmental units; reviewing erosion and sediment control plans submitted for land-disturbing activities; and assisting groups and individuals in urban and rural settings in applying conservation practices. The division also provides demonstration projects, tours, and seminars on recycling, composting, agricultural non-point pollution, and other conservation practices.
AUTHORITY Title 2 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Strategies and Services

Georgia's total area consists of roughly 36.7 million acres ofland and I million acres of water. The programs and services provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission help protect Georgia's landscape and ensure that it remains a valuable resource to its inhabitants. Increased urban and rural development, coupled with man's concern for the environment, necessitates the state's efforts to conserve its natural resources.
Developing and implementing conservation practices are the basis for most of the commission's programs and services. Commission technicians provide assistance to landowners and local governments, review erosion control plans, and protect soil by using resource management systems.
RESOURCE SPECIALIST PROGRAM
The Resource Specialist program was begun in F.Y. 1997 to replace the County Conservation Grant program, which had been established in 1987 to help federal farm aid recipients meet the requirements of the 1985 Food Security Act. When the County Conservation Grant program successfully met its original goals in 1995, the commission envisioned the Resource Specialist program as a more cost-effective way to provide statewide technical assistance.
In F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998, 3 resource specialists were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome, Statesboro, and Milledgeville regional offices. In F.Y. 1999, funds were provided to create 2 additional positions in the commission's Atlanta and Albany regional offices. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends funding for the last resource specialist position, to be placed in the commission's Athens regional office. These 6 specialists will review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste manage-

ment plans, and provide technical support to the commission's regional representatives.
In the past, funding for the Resource Specialist program has come from the redirection of funding from the County Conservation Grant program. In recognition of the fact that the Resource Specialist program will now provide statewide coverage, the Governor recommends redirecting a total of $62,654 from the County Conservation Grant program, leaving $58,846 to allow for a gradual phaseout of all County Conservation Grant program activities during F.Y. 2000.
WATERSHEDS The Soil and Water Conservation
Districts are sponsors on many of Georgia's Category I (failure may cause loss of life) Watershed Dams, constructed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Flood Retardation programs. County or city governments sometimes co-sponsor these dams with the district.
In prior years, these dams were exempt from Georgia's Safe Dams Act. However, this exemption expires on January I, 2000. Since 1991, the Soil and Water Conservation Commission and U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service have been working with the districts, EPD Safe Dams personnel, and local units of government to bring these Category I dams into compliance with the Safe Dams Act.
Estimates for maintenance and minor repairs range from $700 to $50,000 per dam. Of the 139 structures identified as requITmg maintenance upgrades, 22 are now complete, and an additional 34 are under contract with the appropriate local government entity. In addition, plans for upgrades on 9 of the structures are under review by the EPD. Once maintenance upgrades are complete, a dam is turned over to local governments to maintain.
The cost of major upgrades ranges from $300,000 to $1.5 million per dam. Most dams require detailed

hydrologic evaluations, and some require extensive design for major structural upgrades. Of the 10 dams identified as needing major structural upgrades, construction has been completed on I, and is well underway at another. The remaining 8 dams are still in various pre-construction phases. Two previous bond issues totaling $3.84 million have been dedicated to these structural upgrades.
The F.Y. 2000 budget recommends providing $185,000 to continue maintenance upgrades. While the commission has not requested capital outlay funds for structural upgrades this year, it has submitted a projection of the funding needed to complete the remaining upgrades in the years to come.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Damage from urban erosion is difficult to assess. While figures are not widely available, erosion from denuded construction sites on Georgia soils can exceed 200 tons of topsoil per acre per year.
In 1975, the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act was passed to control serious soil erosion from development sites. The act requires that all cities and counties adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances. Conservation districts review the erosion and sediment control plans submitted by these cities and counties. Districts also develop Memoranda of Understanding with local governments, who then issue land disturbing permits.
Although the primary focus of the erosion and sedimentation program is plan review, the commission is involved in other activities. The agency's erosion and sediment control specialists conduct training programs, assist counties with ordinance updates, and conduct seminars. Its Handbook for Erosion and Sediment Control is an accepted reference standard for erosion and sedimentation implementation In Georgia.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Georgia Student Finance Commission was created to help improve the higher education opportunities of the citizens of this state by administering the programs of the Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation and the Georgia Student Finance Authority through a centralized staffing arrangement.
COMMISSION OPERATIONS The commission serves as the executive branch agency
designated to receive appropriations of funds for the student financial aid programs of the corporation and the authority. Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations, and the Governor's Scholarship Program for the Department of Education.
GEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION
The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Education Loan Act. In F.Y. 1998, over 69,855 new loans for eligible students and parents were guaranteed by the corporation. The value of those loans exceeded $222 million. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $34 million. Approximately $15.5 million was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process.
GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY The Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit
public corporation of the state, is responsible for providing

student financial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In F.Y. 1998, the authority disbursed over $32 million in state general funds and agency revenues for over 32,000 students and over $185,000,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 138,000 students.
The authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Education Loan Program. In F.Y. 1998, over $68 million in student loans were originated by the authority and the total value of loans serviced exceeded $363 million.

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION Strategies and Services

The continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the degree to which educational opportunities are provided to all citizens. It is in the public interest to sustain our public and private postsecondary institutions because of their value in promoting the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Georgians.
The Georgia educational loan program was created to both expand educational opportunities available to all Georgians and to ensure the continued economic viability of our postsecondary institutions. In addition to administering the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), Georgia also provides state funds to support service-cancelable loans and a variety of scholarship and grant programs.
FEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM
The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation administers federally guaranteed education loan programs. Through these programs, participating commercial lenders, as well as the Georgia Student Finance Authority, make educational loans to students and the parents of students who need financial assistance to continue their education after high school.
For these loans, the corporation serves as the "guarantor" to the lenders. If for any reason the borrower does not repay the lending institution, the corporation pays the lender an amount prescribed by federal regulation and assumes the obligation for collecting the remaining debt. Since these programs are federally supported, the federal government will reimburse the corporation for most of the defaults which are purchased from lenders.
The federally guaranteed loan programs include the Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, and the Federal Plus Loan.

Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The loan amount depends on the student's financial need, the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school, during the grace period and any deferment periods. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school.
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A non-need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughoutthe nation. The borrower is responsible for all interest which accrues from the date the money is disbursed. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school.
Federal "Plus" Loan Program-Provides loans to parents of dependent undergraduate or graduate students to help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. Repayment of the loan plus interest must begin within 60 days of receiving the funds.
STATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN PROGRAM
The Georgia Student Finance Authority is the legal entity which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose "bank") for about one-third of the student loans in Georgia. The authority provides loans to help students and parents meet the costs of higher education. As a FFELP lender, the authority makes loans to students and parents that are repayable in regular monthly installments and offers service cancellation benefits in Georgia on eligible Federal Stafford loans. Service cancelable loans help students preparing for professions in which
564

there is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their loans by working in their approved field in Georgia.
State funds appropriated to the commission as "Guaranteed Educational Loans" are paid to the authority to support this program. The authority expects to make 543 loans in F.Y. 2000 with the $4,510,455 recommended.
GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
State, federal and other funds are appropriated to the commission in several unique object classes to support the grant and scholarship programs of the authority. These programs are as follows:
Tuition Equalization Grant--A state-funded grant program providing an annual grant to each eligible Georgia student attending an approved private college. The recommendation of $25,735,636 for F.Y. 2000 will provide $1,000 grant awards to approximately 25,735 students.
Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grant (LEPD)--Provides educational grants of up to $2,000 per academic year to the dependent children of a Georgia law enforcement officer, fireman or prison guard who has been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. In F.Y. 2000, $81,700 in state funds will provide approximately 38 grants.
North Georgia College ROTC Grant--Provides a state scholarship of $1,500 per year to each full-time Georgia student enrolled in military ROTC training at North Georgia College. Up to 214 students will receive these grants in F.Y. 2000 with the $320,625 recommended.
Osteopathic Medical Loan-Provides service-cancelable loans to Georgians accepted for enrollment at an eligible college or university of osteopathic medicine. The loans are based on need with a maximum of $10,000 per year for up to 4 years. A

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services

reCipient may cancel the loan by practicing primary care osteopathic medicine in a medically underserved area of this state. The $95,000 in state funds recommended for F.Y. 2000 will provide loans to 9 students.
Georgia Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to students to attend North Georgia College and State University. Thirty-three high school senior are selected each year to receive full 4-year scholarships to North Georgia College. Students must meet strict academic requirements to be eligible and must agree to serve at least 4 years in the Georgia National Guard after graduation. The commission expects to serve 125 students with the $767,950 in state funds recommended for F.Y. 2000.
Georgia Military CollegelNorth Georgia College Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to students who graduate from Georgia Military College to transfer to North Georgia College and State University and receive a scholarship for two additional years. The commission expects to serve 10 students with the $65,075 in state funds recommended in F.Y. 2000.
Work Incentive for Student

Education (WISE)--Provides a student an opportunity to earn up to $1,500 per academic year, with funds credited toward college expenses, for working on campus. The program will continue at three University System institutions and three private colleges and will serve 342 students in F.Y. 2000.
The authority administers 2 scholarship programs for the Georgia Department of Education:
Robert C. Byrd Scholarship-Available to Georgia students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement. The program is intended to promote and recognize student excellence. Byrd Scholars, selected by the Georgia Department of Education, receive a one-time award of $1 ,500 as entering freshmen for their fIrst year of college study at an eligible U. S. institution.
Governor's Scholarship--Provides an annual $1,575 award to Georgia students selected as Georgia Scholars, STAR students, high school valedictorians and salutatorians that go on to attend eligible colleges and universities in this state.

HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Helping Outstanding Pupils
Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program was initiated in F.Y. 1994 with an appropriation of lottery proceeds. The program, designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students, provides scholarships to all students who meet certain academic requirements, and who attend public colleges, public technical institutions or eligible private colleges in this state.
In the next few years, graduates planning to attend a state college or get a HOPE scholarship will face three rising standards and they are: 1) Starting with the class of 2000-today's II th graders--a grade point average to qualify for HOPE will come only from core academic subjects (English/language arts, math, social studies, science and foreign language) instead of all courses 2) Starting with the class of 200 1-today's lOth graders--a fourth year of mathematics will be required to graduate with a college prep diploma that is needed for admission. 3) Also starting with the class of 2001, a formula called the Freshman Index, combining a student's grade point average with SAT scores, will be used to divert applicants below a certain minimum to the state's two-year colleges. The Freshman Index will only be calculated on core academic courses. Students are aware of this higher standard and have been preparing for 5-6 years and already performance is improving.
The commission expects to award approximately 156,348 scholarships with the $193,886,482 recommended.
The commission also administers the lottery funded Teacher Scholarships ($3,500,000), Promise Scholarships ($1,095,000), Georgia Military Scholarships ($800,844), Law Enforcement Dependents Grants ($215,000), and Engineer Scholarships ($600,000).

REGULATION OF NONPUBLIC POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
The Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission regulates certain proprietary schools and postsecondary education institutions operating in the state, including public and private schools outside the state which offer Georgians degree or certificate programs by mail, telecommunications or other means. The commission's regulatory activities

include establishing standards relating to the quality of instructional programs offered, ethical and business practices, health and safety, and fiscal responsibility.
The commission's staff conducts audits and reviews of the institutions it regulates and licenses the schools and their programs for the protection of Georgia students and their parents.
The commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining a Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund with participation

fees collected from postsecondary education institutions. The Trust Fund is intended to protect students from financial loss when a school closes without reimbursing students and without completing its educational obligations to its students. The commission is required to take possession of the administration and student records of any regulated institution which ceases to operate.

TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Roles and Responsibilities

ADMINISTRAnON The Teacher's Retirement System of Georgia is a
vehicle for accepting, investing and disbursing the retirement funds of its members. The management of the Teachers' Retirement System is the responsibility of the Executive Director who is appointed by the Board of Trustees and serves at their pleasure. On behalf of the board, the Executive Director is responsible for the operation of the system, engaging such actuarial and other services as necessary to transact business, setting compensation of system employees and paying expenses necessary to operate. In addition to administration, the Teachers' Retirement System is divided into 5 functional divisions:
Investment Services. Refund and Services. Counseling and Information. Retirement Division. Accounting and Membership.
MEMBERSHIP All personnel in covered positions of the state's public
school systems, vocational-technical schools, Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESA Units), and all colleges and universities comprising the University of Georgia, who are employed one-half time or more, except those professors and principal administrators electing to participate in the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia's Optional Retirement Plan, are required to be members of the system as a condition of employment. Covered positions include teachers, administrators, supervisors, clerks, teacher aides, secretaries, paraprofessionals, public school nurses, employees of the Agricultural Extension Service, and county and regional librarians. Public school lunchroom, maintenance, warehouse and transportation managers and supervisors are eligible for member-ship. Any individual first employed at age 60 or after may elect not to join the system.

INVESTMENTS The Teachers' Retirement System has its own "in-
house" Investment Services Division, which handles the day-to-day investment transactions with advice from 6 outside advisors. Six members of the Teachers' Retirement Systems Board of Trustees along with the Executive Secretary comprise the Investment Committee. Investment recommendations made by the Investment Committee require approval by the Teachers' Retirement System's entire Board of Trustees.
FLOOR FUND LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS Appropriation of state funds to the Teachers'
Retirement System insures that any teacher who has retired or will retire from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools or Rome City Schools) shall receive a minimum allowance upon retirement of not less than $17.00 per month for each year of creditable service, not to exceed 40 years of service. As of June 30, 1998, there were 197 local system retirees receiving floor funds to achieve this minimum allowance.
COLA FUNDS LOCAL SYSTEM Any teacher who retired prior to July 1, 1978 from a
local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools and Rome City Schools) shall receive a post-retirement benefit adjustment (COLA) whenever such adjustment is granted to teachers who retire under the Teachers' Retirement System. These funds are appropriated annually. As of June 30, 1998, there were 610 local system retirees receiving COLA funds.
AUTHORITY Title 47, Chapter 3 and 20

DEPARTMENT OF BLANK -- Results-Based Budgeting TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
PURPOSE: To provide all personnel in covered positions of the State's public school systems, vocational-technical schools, Regional Education Services, and all the colleges and universities of the University System of Georgia and their families, a primary source of income relative to their service and compensation in the event of their retirement, death, or disability. GOAL 1: Ensure adequate fmancing for future benefits due and other obligations of the retirement system by using a conservative long-term philosophy to invest prudently the retirement system assets. DESIRED RESULT la: The retirement fund's unfunded actuarially accrued liability (UAAL) will liquidate between 15 and 25 years.
IThis is a measure of the retirement fund's financial soundness and means that, using current actuarial assumptions and funding strategies, within 18 years the retirement plan will be fully funded

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Quality Basic Education Act of 1985 created a separate State Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education within the Department of Education to promote the economic growth and development of Georgia by providing leadership, direction, and state-level management of public postsecondary technical schools, programs, and services. The new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education in 1987 to provide guidance to public technical institutes operated by the state or by local boards of education. The board was renamed the State Board of Technical and Adult Education in 1988 to govern the newly created Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). With the Savannah Tech and Atlanta Tech conversions to state ownership in F.Y. 1998, the board now oversees 32 state-governed technical institutes (many of which have satellite campuses). In addition, there are 4 technical education divisions housed within 4 of the University System colleges and 1 locallygoverned public technical institute.
The Department of Technical and Adult Education plans and administers state postsecondary technical training at less than the baccalaureate degree level in a unified system of technical institutes. It provides opportunities for students to learn a skill or upgrade an existing skill to keep pace with technology and competition in a world market. Students can pursue lifelong education and training, basic skills and technician training for existing employment opportunities, as well as customized training responsive to the needs of business and industry for a technically trained and highly competitive workforce. Students attending technical institutes have the option of short-term programs as well as courses of study leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. These programs can range in duration from a few weeks to 2 years. The department is divided into 5 functional units described below.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services function provides support
and management for the 32 state-governed and 1 locallygoverned technical institutes in the areas of budgeting, accounting, electronic data processing and other technologies, personnel, public information, facilities management, and policy planning. It also provides evaluation, curriculum development, student support, and certification and technical assistance related to state and federal programs and policies.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION The Technical Education function provides assistance
to the technical institutes and college technical programs through institute and program standards; surveys and needs assessments; institute and program evaluations; curriculum design; professional development for staff and faculty; institutional effectiveness systems; and technical aid

regarding admissions, scholarships, [mancial aid, and federal programs.
QUICK START Quick Start provides employee training services to new
and expanding industries at no cost. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts by serving as a state training incentive. Supported by DTAE's network of technical institutes, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors.
ADULT LITERACY The Office of Adult Literacy is responsible for offering
adult basic education and literacy programs around the state including the General Education Development (GED) diploma program. It is the largest literacy provider for other state agencies and provides a variety of programs. The office is also the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education Adult Literacy funds. Through its network of 37 service delivery areas around the state, the office provides literacy services to every county in Georgia.
PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES The purpose of the public library system in Georgia is
to provide assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. The Office of Public Library Services (OPLS) assists public libraries in providing access to information, library materials, and enriching learning activities for people of all ages. The goals of the public library system are to:
provide access to all types and forms of information; administer state and federal funds; provide consultation and advice to the library community and local users; and provide continuing education opportunities for library staff, trustees, and local users. The Office of Public Library Services was transferred by legislative act effective July 1, 1996 from the Department of Education to the Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Office of Public Library Services provides assistance and information to 57 publIc library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition to operating the state's Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. The Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped provides public library services for users who are unable to see or otherwise use standard print materials. This library and its network of 13 sub-regional libraries for the blind and physically handicapped are the only sources of recorded and Braille materials for these users.
AUTHORITY Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

Because of increasing demand, the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) has focused on new construction for many years. As a result, every Georgian today has a technical and adult education facility within easy driving distance. With the emphasis on new facilities, older facilities had insufficient funds needed for repairs and renovations, and maintenance was often deferred. At the same time, with rapid changes in technology, equipment became obsolete sooner. This year Governor Barnes is shifting the focus from new facilities to improvements in existing infrastructure. He is also putting the support and processes in place to make strategic decisions for the future, when Georgia's workers and employers will have to rely even more on technical education to meet their needs. The only new infrastructure element in which he is investing is the Georgia Virtual Technical Institute, which represents a new means of meeting future training needs for workers and employers.
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS
The top priority for the F.Y. 1999 amended and the F.Y. 2000 budgets is the upgrade of existing infrastructure. The department has identified $45 million worth of obsolete equipment. This is a significant problem for an agency whose task it is to provide students with cutting-edge technical skills. The Governor recommends $12.5 million in lottery funds to begin to address this problem. In addition, almost $30 million for PC replacement and upgrades should be allocated on a priority basis to DTAE as part of the Y2K package in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget. However, even with regular investments in new equipment, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with or stay ahead of business since computers and other technology have rapidly decreasing lifecycles.

The F.Y. 1999 amended budget provides $6,615,000 for major repairs to address critical needs over $10,000, the first phase of a proposed threeyear repairs program. Projects range from roof repairs, to boiler and HVAC replacements. An additional $330,000 in general funds in F.Y. 2000 establishes an object class for minor repairs and maintenance. The intent is to fund this at an increasing level so that institutes will be able to handle minor repairs and maintenance on an on-going basis in the future.
The F.Y. 1999 amended budget also provides $3,970,000 in bonds to support major renovations at DeKalb ($2,183,371), Columbus ($749,829), and Pickens ($1,036,800). It further provides $40,000 for Coosa Valley, $25,000 for Albany, and $50,000 for South Georgia to reevaluate the cost and functional viability of new construction versus renovation or retrofitting. An improved facility needs assessment system should help institutes make those kinds of decisions earlier in the process.
In an effort to improve state capital management, there is a move toward funding predesign prior to making decisions about design and construction. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes funds for predesign of 5 DTAE new construction projects at Griffin, Atlanta, Moultrie, Macon, and Carroll Tech. There is also funding for a campus master plan for DeKalb Tech.
Future new construction projects will benefit from the F.Y. 1999 amended investment in a system for facility needs assessment and planning. It should lead to the development of long-term multiyear plans, taking into account statewide and local/regional needs as well as the impact of new technology.
In addition to predesign funds for new construction projects, the F.Y. 2000 budget includes $2,500,000 in operating funds and $6,064,243 in equipment funds for the opening of new and retrofitted facilities started under the Miller Administration.

SYSTEM SUPPORT The expansion of the state's
technical education system has led to increased demands on central office staff, charged with overseeing and guiding the system. Requests for new facilities and programs require indepth analysis that takes into account both local and state needs and future directions. This requires considerable staff effort along with procedures and systems that can aid decision-making. In addition, in the face of new technology, there is an increased demand for technical support from local institutes.
The F.Y. 1999 amended and the F.Y. 2000 budgets provide funds to support improved information gathering, analysis, and decisionmaking. There is $175,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to update the 1995 facility study conducted by Georgia Tech and to develop a dynamic system or model that can be updated annually by the department, instead of a "snapshot-in-time" report that is obsolete a year out. The system should yield information that can be used for needs assessments, facilities planning, and decision-making. Work will also begin to establish a capital outlay process that spans several years and includes needs assessment (both at the local and state levels), predesign, design, and construction. To the extent that they are needed, guidelines may be developed to assist with prioritization and the determination when a project is ready to move from one phase to the next. Standards for similar type facilities will also be established for use throughout the state.
A similar system is needed to establish program needs, and to evaluate program requests. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes $229,196 to fund 4 positions to start this process and bring it in-house. These positions will work closely with industry, labor market information, and schools to guide curriculum development at the state and local levels. Another $84,744 in the F.Y. 2000 budget adds

590

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

2 positions to the administrative division to provide assistance to local institutes, and improve the information content and flow between the institutes and the central office.
Perhaps most critical is the addition of 4 professional and 1 clerical position to improve the agency's ability to collect, manage, and analyze data, as well as respond to requests for information and plan for the future. Both the information technology and planning and analysis functions are currently understaffed. A financial database administrator and a student database administrator will be in charge of data compilation. Two analysts/planners will do the necessary research, analysis, and strategic planning to position the agency for the 21 51 century.
With this timely increased level of support, the department will be in a better position not only to respond but also to act strategically to move technical education to the next level.
WEB-BASED INSTRUCTION Last year, 7 technical institute
presidents came together to start the Georgia Virtual Technical Institute (GVTI). GVTI offers a virtual learning environment using distance, information, and telecommunication technologies to provide occupational instruction that transcends barriers of time and place. Programs are available to students anywhere in Georgia.
In F.Y. 1999, the department received funds for the technical staff needed to upgrade and prepare its information systems to support webbased instruction. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $552,000 for equipment needed to continue the development and implementation of web-based courses. There are currently 21 courses offered with 40 more under development.
GVTI offers a convenient alternative for students who are part of DTAE's traditional student base and who prefer to take classes at home or work (should their employers prefer this option). GVTI will also make a technical education possible

for previously underserved student populations. Homebound people, for instance, can get the training they need to work from home.

GALILEO AND INTERNET

ACCESS

GALILEO (Georgia Library

Learning Online), the University

System's statewide electronic library

system, was started as an initiative of

the Board of Regents. Since then, the

system has been expanded to include

public libraries and technical

institutes, as well as public and

private

secondary

schools.

GALILEO now provides a set of over

100 databases that index thousands of

periodicals and journals, and provides

access to over 2,000 journals in full

text. In addition, GALILEO includes

an encyclopedia, business directories,

and government publications, as well

as links to Georgia law and many

state agency home pages.

At this time, Georgia citizens

have access to the Internet and a wide

variety of information resources at

157 of the state's 370 library

facilities. In F.Y. 1998, library

591

patrons registered over 241,000 "hits" on GALILEO. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes $105,038 to fund the addition of 2 databases to the package currently available at Georgia's public libraries. One database will provide library patrons with articles and information concerning current issues, while the other will provide health-related reference information. Continued expansion of this important reference tool will ensure that library patrons fmd it useful, and that Georgia's public libraries keep pace with the technological advances that are changing how libraries operate.
PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
The F.Y. 2000 budget also includes $540,186 to provide central office programming and help desk support for SAMSON, the Office of Public Library Services' new accounting system. When public libraries were transferred from the Department of Education (DOE) to DTAE in July 1996, DOE agreed to provide on-going support for the

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

GENESIS computerized accounting system, which was then in use by public libraries and most local school systems. GENESIS, however, was outdated, and DOE took steps to replace the system. The proposed SAP replacement system was too elaborate and expensive for public library needs. Therefore, DTAE developed bid specifications and selected a vendor to create a new accounting software package for libraries called SAMSON. While SAMSON will be tailored to meet the accounting needs of public libraries, DTAE does not have the existing resources to provide necessary maintenance and technical support services to its Office of Public Library Services or to the 57 library systems that will begin using SAMSON in F.Y. 2000. As a result, the $540,186 budget for SAMSON support services is one of the Office of Public Library Services' most critical budget needs.

BOOK INITIATIVE UPDATE The F.Y. 1998 amended budget
included a one-time $10 million book package to build library holdings and encourage reading around the state. This grant was distributed to libraries according to population and circulation figures, so that more active systems received a larger share of these funds to meet higher demand for library materials.
Public libraries have now submitted orders to the Office of Public Library Services, with final orders scheduled for the end of 1998. Overall, the initiative provides approximately 400,000 children's books and 300,000 adult books to Georgia's libraries. When combined with the regular materials' allocation provided by the Governor and Legislature in F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000, Georgia readers can expect to find well over 1 million new books available in the near future.

Few agencies feel the pressure of rapidly changing technology and increasing demands for just-in-time delivery of cutting edge training as does DTAE. The agency has a broad customer base that includes library patrons, businesses, and students from all walks of life. Collaboration with the departments of Labor and Human Resources has increased the number of clients in need of short-term training. There is a push to increase the number of students who enter a technical institute right out of high school, perhaps as the first step toward a college degree. At the same time, more students come to technical institutes with a college degree already in hand. Continuing to meet the needs of these diverse groups, helping to shape Georgia's current and future workforce, is a challenge. With the additional central support staff and improved information systems and processes that will result from this budget, Governor Barnes provides the foundation necessary for the agency to be able to make a positive response to this challenge.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Governor recommends that $42.7 million be made available - $20 million state general funds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget and $22.7 million motor fuel funds - to match the increase in new federal dollars available under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 sl Century (TEA21) for core transportation construction and maintenance programs.
$30.6 million in motor fuel funds for the State Fund Construction Program. This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems and will assist in the construction of approximately 2,003 miles of road.
$2.5 million in motor fuel funds to upgrade computer hardware and software equipment for Y2K computer compliance requirements.
In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget, $125 million in general obligation bonds is recommended to continue work on the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). Over 58% of the 2,697-mile system (1,442 miles) is completed, under construction or under right-of-way acquisition as of December 1998.
In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget, $20 million in general obligation bonds is recommended for Savannah harbor navigation channel projects. The $20 million will be used for construction to raise existing harbor dikes, erosion and

protection work, pre-construction and mitigation of newly created disposal areas, acquisition of additional acreage for future disposal area usage, and related maintenance and repair work on the disposal areas.
In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget over $7.3 million is recommended for transit projects and rail projects including:
$1.2 million in one-time start-up funds and $1.8 million to match $14.6 million in federal funds to purchase 56 buses for a proposed Gwinnett County transit system
$1.945 million to be matched with $2.4 million in federal funds for a feasibility study of light rail transit for the Marietta-Lawrenceville corridor;
$1.12 million to be matched with $4.48 million in federal funds to purchase strategic rail line segments in downtown Atlanta needed for commuter rail projects;
$240,000 to be matched with $960,000 in federal funds to conduct a detailed analysis of existing and future track capacity requirements for commuter and inter-city rail lines; and
$1,000,000 to purchase the Rover-Meyer rail line to preserve it for future use as an essential rail route that links Columbus with Griffin.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Strategies and Services

The

Department

of

Transportation's historic focus has

been on building and maintaining the

state's network of roads and bridges.

The vast majority of its funds, both

state and federal, are dedicated to this

purpose. Indeed, Georgia is

recognized nationally as having a

superior highway system due

primarily to the department's efforts

and emphasis on roads and

maintenance. The high quality of

Georgia's transportation system has

been essential to the economic

success and growth of the state. But

the department faces great challenges

in developing appropriate strategy for

future transportation needs and

related transportation issues affecting

the metro Atlanta region.

The ability to build new highway

infrastructure and capacity in the core

of metropolitan areas is diminishing

rapidly and air quality in non-

attainment areas is a growing

problem. To ,meet these challenges,

the department is placing a greater

emphasis on a more balanced

transportation system that advances

public transit, passenger rail and other

modes of travel.

With the passage of newly

reauthorized federal highway

legislation, the department will

receive major increases in federal

transportation dollars for everything

from roads to rail projects. The

federal authorization provides the

department with flexible funds to

develop strategies for addressing the

metro Atlanta region's air quality and

sprawl problems. Federal funds, when

combined with motor fuel

appropriated funds, will also enable

the department to continue fulfilling

its traditional responsibility to

building and maintaining the state's

network of roads.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY FUNDING In September of 1998, Congress
passed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 51 Century - called TEA-21. The federal funds authorized for Georgia include over $5 billion for

core transportation construction and

maintenance programs and over $70

million for special designated rail

projects for the 6-year period

covering fiscal years 1998-2003. As

stipulated in TEA-21, 15% of the total

authorization for Georgia is being

allocated for F.Y. 1999 and another

16% will be allocated for F.Y. 2000.

For F.Y. 1999 and 2000, this equates

to major increases in federal highway

funds of well over $200 million from

the current $616 million base level of

federal funds.

The Governor is recommending

$42.7 million in spending - $20

million in state general funds in the

F.Y. 1999 amended budget and $22.7

million in motor fuel funds - to match

the increase in new federal dollars for

core transportation programs.

TEA-21 also includes recognition

that funding of transit and passenger

rail programs is essential to meeting

the needs for a more balanced

transportation system as states across

the nation grapple with the

environmental

and

social

consequences of their transportation

investments. To this end, TEA-21 has

authorized over $70 million for

Georgia for commuter rail, inter-city

rail, high-speed rail, light rail, and

other passenger rail and mass transit

projects. The Governor is

recommending a total of $3,269,150

in cash and $3,064,000 in bonds in

the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to

leverage $22,473,200 in federal funds

allocated to Georgia for new

initiatives for mass transit and rail

projects covering the F.Y. 1999-2000

period.

MASS TRANSIT / PASSENGER RAIL
New initiatives for mass transit and rail projects include a recommendation of $3,029,150 in state general funds targeted for a proposed Gwinnett County transit system. A total of $1,829,150 in state funding, expected to leverage $14.6 million in federal funds, is recommended to purchase 46 transit

and 10 ADA buses (all natural gas powered) for local routes to major office and retail centers and express bus routes to downtown Atlanta. In addition, $1,200,000 is recommended for one-time start-up funds for marketing and preliminary planning and engineering for a transit center, park-ride and maintenance facility.
The Governor is recommending a total of $1,945,000 in bonds for a feasibility study of light rail transit for the Marietta-Lawrenceville corridor. Presently, no transit service exist in the corridor, necessitating the need for a planning feasibility study as a first-step process. The total amount of available federal funds over the 6year TEA-21 authorization period is $2,400,000. The recommendation provides the $600,000 state match requirement needed to leverage $2,400,000 in total available federal funds and advance funds the $1,344,000 federal share that would otherwise not be available until F.Y. 2001.
Another new rail initiative includes a recommendation of $240,000 to provide state match against federal funds ($960,000) to conduct a detailed analysis of existing and future track capacity requirements for commuter and intercity rail lines. Both commuter and inter-city rail passenger plans propose a network of rail passenger routes using existing rail freight lines and serving a multi-modal passenger terminal in downtown Atlanta. The analysis of track capacity will provide the basis for determining future track infrastructure requirements for the downtown Atlanta hub in implementing passenger rail service in the state.
A total of $1.12 million in bonds is recommended for acquisition of strategic rail line segments needed for commuter rail projects. The recommendation, which will leverage $4.48 million in total available federal funds, includes $120,000 for acquisition of the Memorial DriveWylie Street rail line and $1,000,000

606

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services

for acquisition of the Decatur Street belt line.
The Governor is also recommending that $237,838 in contracts be appropriated in F.Y. 2000 to the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority to continue implementation of the commuter rail and inter-city rail plans started in F.Y. 1998. The plans lay the ground work for commuter rail services between Atlanta and Athens, with service to Atlanta's northeast suburbs and intercity rail service from Atlanta to Macon, with connections to Hartsfield Airport. Funding will enable the Authority to continue consultant contracts related to the various aspects of passenger rail implementation and to execute and negotiate agreements with railroad companies.
Commuter rail, inter-city passenger rail, and improved mass transit offer a long-term strategy for addressing metro Atlanta's air quality problems and traffic congestion. Commuter rail and mass transit can have a significant impact on air quality and traffic problems, keeping metro Atlanta an attractive place for business locations and ensuring its continued strength as a business center into the next millenium. Intercity rail can extend Atlanta's success as a business center to other cities in Georgia and can help Atlanta handle some of its growth pressure. Atlanta can provide Macon, Athens and other Georgia cities national and international business opportunities if good rail connections are established to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield Airport.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION/ HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE
With its traditional responsibility for road maintenance and construction, the department has spent well over $5.7 billion to construct, reconstruct and widen more than 8,300 lane-miles of road over the past decade. In F.Y. 1999, approximately $710 million worth of construction contracts is budgeted for 3,250 miles of state roads at an average expenditure of $218,553 per mile of road improvement. In addition, 90 bridges are expected to be let to contract in F.Y. 1999 at a cost of $88 million.
Improved highway facilities are necessary to encourage continued economic growth. One of the department's key economic development related programs is the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). This ambitious program is intended to add four-lane highways to every section of the state and would place 98 % of the state within 20 miles of a four-lane road. As envisioned, this developmental highway system would add 2,697 miles of four-lane highways throughout the state.
The state has appropriated over $1 billion for GRIP over the last eight years, an annual average of approximately $125 million primarily through the use of 20-year general obligation bonds. The Governor is recommending $125 million in bonds for the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to continue funding for GRIP initiatives. As of December 1998, 1,442 miles or 58% of all GRIP corridors have been completed or are under construction.

In addition, the department aids local governments in the construction of local roads not on the state system through the county contracts program. This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems. The county contracts program is recommended at a funding level of $30,600,000 in F.Y. 2000 and will assist in the construction of approximately 2,003 miles of road.
HARBOR MAINTENANCE Providing a safe passage for
international shipping lines using Georgia's ports is an ever-increasing effort by the department. The world's shipping lines continue to increase the size of their ships, requiring ports to provide increasingly deeper channels to accommodate the larger vessels. Dredged material from the Savannah River channel is removed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and deposited in diked areas. This is an ongoing process that requires the department to take care of dike construction and harbor maintenance.
Understanding the importance of Georgia ports to the state's economy, the Governor is recommending $20,050,000 in bonds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget for needed harbor maintenance projects. Among these projects are: $4,00,000 to continue the third year of a 3-year phase-in period for erosion protection work at Jones/Oyster Bed Island; $5,000,000 to raise harbor dikes in area 12A; $1,800,000 for acquisition of 711 acres for future disposal area use; $9,000,000 for mitigation and pre-construction of new disposal areas due to the critical need for developing a disposal area upstream; and $250,000 for related maintenance and repair work of the disposal areas.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than 680,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans' affairs. Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of infonning veterans and their families about all available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled.
VETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state approving agency for the federally sponsored
Veterans Education Assistance Program, the department is responsible for approving and supervising all institutions (including public and private schools and establishments offering on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs) in Georgia which participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. In F.Y. 1998, the Department conducted 427 inspections of veteran educational and training programs and responded to 2,823 requests for technical assistance. The department anticipates the number of inspections to reach over 500 with 3,000 requests for technical assistance in F.Y. 1999. This function is 100 percent federal~y funded and employs seven staff.
INSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates two
institutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the. 540-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres of land. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (Le. building limited to simple lodging). The facility is staffed and operated through a contract with a private vendor.
A second facility is maintained in Augusta. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is staffed by 199 employees and operated through a contract with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. At this 192bed facility, physicians and medical students provide a complex range of services and nursing care to sick and disabled veterans.
GOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Department of Veterans Service is governed by the
seven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, with confinnation by the Senate. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of the Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year tenn.

The Department is required by law to:
Generally promote and protect the right of Georgia veterans under all state and federal laws.
Furnish infonnation to all veterans of all wars as to their rights and benefits under federal and state laws and local ordinances.
Assist all veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries in the preparation and processing of claims with the appropriate federal agencies.
Report to the appropriate federal or state agency any instances of incompetence, dishonesty or neglect of duty by any employee or agency dealing with veterans' affairs.
Maintain complete copies of all records on veterans filing claims for benefits through the department.
Advise the Board, the Governor, and the General Assembly in regard to veterans legislation and policies.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE
Strategies and Services

The Department of Veterans Service regularly prepares and distributes news releases, radio programs, and technical bulletins on veterans' benefits, changes in laws, and proper procedures for filing claims. In addition, the Commissioner, department staff and field office managers make personal appearances before veterans' organizations throughout the state to explain veteran rights and benefits and the assistance available from the department.
VETERANS ASSISTANCE In addition to the central office in
Atlanta, the department maintains a claims processing staff at the regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Atlanta and 48 field offices or satellite branches across the state. At these locations, agency personnel assist and advise veterans and their families in several ways. Assistance is given in initiating, filing and processing of claims. When necessary, the department will represent veterans before claims or appellate boards.
Veterans are also assisted in securing social security and related benefits. Additionally, assistance is provided in securing burial benefits, in arranging for the burial of eligible veterans in national cemeteries and in securing flags and grave markers. In

F.Y. 1998, the department processed 605,408 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 610,000 in F.Y. 1999.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME - MILLEDGEVILLE
In F.Y. 1999, this privatized facility will provide an estimated 161,000 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation (skilled nursing care). Since the facility was privatized in F.Y. 1997, residents of the home have reported significant improvements in the quality ofcare received. In 1998 the facility received the American Health Care Association Quality Award for quality improvement.
As the veteran population has aged the acuity level (or level of care) of the skilled nursing patients has also increased significantly. In F.Y. 1989, approximately 40 percent of the skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 80 percent require this intensive level of care.
In addition to the skilled nursing component, the Pete Wheeler Domiciliary provides living accommodations and minimal medical care to veterans who are able to maintain some level of independence in carrying out their daily living. A patient exercise program has been implemented throughout the home to

increase physical activity with an anticipated reduction in patient falls and injuries.
GEORGIA VETERANS NURSING HOME-AUGUSTA
In F.Y. 1999, this facility will provide an estimated 64,500 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation. In addition, the facility provides educational experience to students of the various schools comprising the Medical College of Georgia. Through this association, the nursing home is allowed access to technology and expertise not readily available to other skilled nursing facilities. These resources have enabled the home to become a leader in long-term care training and research.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS CEMETERY
Developed in F.Y. 1999, the Georgia War Veterans Cemetery in Milledgeville is the first state government operated veterans cemetery in the state. Located on 142 acres in Baldwin State Forest with 17 acres developed to accommodate 1,000 burial sites, the cemetery will also include a ten-acre storm retention lake, a main entrance, a ceremonial area and a hearse parking area. The cemetery is scheduled to open in January 2000.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Roles and Responsibilities

LEGISLATIVE MANDATES The State Board of Workers' Compensation is
responsible for ensuring that workers injured on the job receive adequate cost-effective medical treatment and return to the job as quickly as possible. All employers, with three or more full-time or part-time employees, are required to obtain workers' compensation coverage through either private insurers or programs of self-insurance for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment. The only employees exempt are: federal government employees, railroad employees, farmers, farm hands, domestic servants, business partners, some corporate executives and independent contractors.
The Board administers the law to assure that injured workers are receiving the services and benefits to which they are entitled by the law in a timely and appropriate manner. The benefits provided include medical payments, a portion of wage replacement, and catastrophic rehabilitation. Rights granted an employee under the law preclude any other legal remedies under an employer by an employee due to a workrelated injury.
The Board regulates specific benefits to injured employees without regard for negligence or fault and guarantees protection for the employers through the exclusive remedy protection. However, claims are not paid ifthe cause of the injury is the result of the use of alcohol or a controlled substance. The injured employee can be tested within three hours, or eight hours from the time of the injury for alcohol or controlled substances, respectively.
BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of the Board are classified as quasi-
judicial, administrative and regulatory. The quasi-judicial responsibilities include hearing cases on appeal and approving settlements. The chairperson of the three-member Board is

the chief appellate administrative law judge. The administrative and regulatory responsibilities range from developing policy, promulgating regulations and developing and submitting the agency's budget request.
Some specific responsibilities of the Board include: Promulgating and adopting policies and rules. Approving applications of insurance companies to write workers' compensation policies in Georgia and applications of employers to act as selfinsurers. Ensuring that employers maintain required insurance coverage. Reviewing and monitoring claims and settlements to ensure compliance with the law. Resolving disputes between claimants and employers. Publishing and distributing information about rights, benefits, and obligations under the workers' compensation law to employers and employees. Approving fees of physicians and charges of hospitals and other providers of services paid by workers' compensation insurers and self-insurers.
To monitor the administration of the Workers' Compensation Law and fulfill these responsibilities, the chief executive authority for the Board rests with its chairperson, with administrative functions entrusted to an executive director appointed by the Board. The three member Board is appointed by the Governor for four-year terms.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Strategies and Services

Currently, the State Board of Workers' Compensation provides services for 187,000 employers and 3.4 million workers. Annually, over 50,000 lost-time claims are filed as well as 170,000 medical-only claims. Eight percent or less of these cases are litigated.
Those claims requiring an evidentiary hearing are heard by an administrative law judge in a courtlike proceeding. Hearings are held in the county where the injury occurred, in an adjoining county, or in a county within 50 miles of where the injury occurred. The award is generally issued 30 to 60 days following the hearing. In addition to the state office in Atlanta, the board has eight field offices that house the Administrative Law Judges and legal secretaries who handle disputes in their designated areas. These field offices are located in Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Rome, and Savannah.
If either party is dissatisfied with the decision of the judge, the party may appeal to the three-member board. During calendar year 1997, 772 appellate hearings were scheduled before the full board. Further appeals may be taken through the court system.
FRAUD AND COMPLIANCE DIVISION
It is estimated that as many as 25% of the employers in Georgia, who are required to carry workers' compensation coverage do not do so. This puts legitimate employers at a competitive disadvantage, skews the premium for the pool of insured employers and leaves thousands of workers without required coverage. In response, the Board established the Fraud and Compliance Division to

respond to complaints regarding uninsured employers and fraudulent claims. The Division's primary goals have been to identify non-compliant employers, investigate alleged fraud, and educate and assist business, medical providers and others who are involved in workers' compensation to create a climate which will assure that legitimately injured workers receive benefits allowable under the Workers' Compensation Law.
Since operations began in F.Y. 1996, the Compliance Division has conducted over 25,000 random compliance checks of businesses. As a result, over 3,000 additional businesses now carry workers' compensation insurance coverage. These businesses were operating in violation of the law prior to being contacted. The compliance checks resulted in insurance coverage for an additional 17,000 employees, generating over $10 million in additional new premiums.
ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVISION
The Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Division provides a forum in which to resolve issues that do not require a formal hearing. Previously a unit within the Legal Services Division, the new Division will accommodate the increase in the number of cases submitted for mediation and other resolution issues without a hearing. Request for legal actions are being screened and diverted by the Screening and Administration unit to the ADR unit (based on legal action requested), which provides for a more costeffective and timely resolution of disputed issues. Cases resolved in this manner will not require hearings, nor will appeals be filed. The

Division will handle over 450 cases per month that would otherwise be assigned to the Trial Section.

MANAGED HEALTH CARE

There is a legislative

provision for board certified Workers'

Compensation Managed Care

Organizations to serve as an option

for the delivery of medical services to

injured workers. Therefore, any

health care provider or group of

medical services providers may

submit an application to the board to

become certified to provide services

to injured workers. In order to be

certified, the managed health care

plan must include: appropriate

financial incentives to reduce service

costs and utilization without

sacrificing the quality of service;

adequate methods of peer review and

service utilization review to prevent

inappropriate or excessive treatment;

and efforts to promote services that

will contribute to workplace health

and safety.

The National

Commission of Compensation

Insurance estimates that the use of

managed health care plans can result

in up to a 12% premium reduction.

As of November 1997, 19

organizations have been certified

covering over 108,000 workers. It is

anticipated that within the next three

to five years the majority of Georgia's

injured employees will access

medical treatment through services

provided by certified managed care

organizations. To promote success

within this system, quality assurance

measures have been implemented.

These measures include compliance

audits and participant surveys to

measure satisfaction levels and assess

outcomes.

F.Y. 2001 DEPARTMENT BUDGET ESTIMATES

The Redirection Budget process used for Fiscal Year 2001 incorporates a multi-year estimating process required of state agencies. Agencies were required to estimate future costs of their Fiscal Year 2000 redirection level request. Estimating future cost of actions taken in any budget year should be an integral part of the budget decision making process. Agencies were asked to include Fiscal Year 2001 estimates of their redirection budget level and future operating costs associated with capital outlay projects. The table below is a summary of the agencies' Fiscal Year 2001 estimate of their Fiscal Year 2000 redirection budget level request.

IMPACT OF CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE
F.Y. 2000 RECOMMENDED BUDGET
The Capital Outlay Program consists of projects and activities to: acquire property; procure equipment; develop and construct new facilities and structures; renovate, enlarge, enhance, preserve, and improve existing facilities and structures; and conduct major repairs to ensure capital assets achieve their service life. Funding is considered in the Capital Outlay Program for projects that are primarily facility related, non-recurring on an annual basis, and it is deemed desirable to request and recommend funding separate from the operating budget. Annual motor vehicle replacements and other routine equipment needs are usually funded as part of an agency's general operating budget.
The Capital Outlay Program impacts the state's operating budget through a mix of debt service payments for bondfunded projects and "pay-as-you-go" fmancing using lottery and cash revenues. Also, as completed projects become operational, there may be associated additional operating expenses. The following table summarizes the impact of the Capital Outlay Program on the F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget.

Total

In summary, $842.7 million of the F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Progran1, representing 6.3% of the total F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget. Due to the favorable bond market and the very sound fmancial status of the state, a major portion of the State of Georgia's F.Y. 2000 requested capital outlay projects were recommended in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget. As the major capital projects recommended in the F.Y. 2000 and F.Y. 1999 amended budget are completed, there will be additional operating expenses in future years. The total future net operational impact of these recommended capital projects is estimated at $39.6 million on an annual basis.

The State has developed and maintains a sound debt management plan, overseen by a Debt Management Advisory Committee, for the effective and prudent use of debt in addressing Georgia's growing capital needs. In recognition of the state's sound fiscal policies, moderate debt levels well within constitutional and statutory controls, conservative revenue estimates, a diverse and strong economy, and responsive leadership, the state currently enjoys triple-A ratings from Moody's, Fitch, and Standard & Poor's.

FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT

In November of 1972, the voters of the State of Georgia approved a comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of 1945 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 1523, et seq.), which permitted the state to fmance its needs directly through the issuance of general obligation debt. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the state's capital outlay needs were met through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate state authorities and secured by lease rental agreements between the authorities and various state departments and agencies. The provisions of the amendment were implemented by the General Assembly in 1973 with the enactment of the act, and the constitutionality of the new system of state fmancing was favorably adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a decision rendered on July 16, 1974, in Sears v. State of Georgia, 232 Ga. 547 (1974). In November of 1982, the voters of the State of Georgia ratified a new state constitution which became effective July 1, 1983, and such new constitution continues the amendment in full force and effect.
Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission
The commission is an agency and instrumentality of the state and its members are the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and the Commissioner of Agriculture.
The commission is responsible for the issuance of all public debt of the state, including general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. The commission is further responsible for the proper application of the proceeds of such debt to the purposes for which it is incurred.

The commission has two statutory divisions, a Financing and Investment Division and a Construction Division, each administered by a director who reports directly to the commission.
The Financing and Investment Division performs all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto.
The Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing, plarming, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor.

Such debt shall not exceed, in the aggregate, five percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred. The debt incurred shall be repaid on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred out of taxes levied for that fiscal year. No such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incurred to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury."

BASIS OF BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING

BUDGETING
The annual budget of the State of Georgia is prepared on the modified accrual basis utilizing encumbrance accounting with the following exceptions: federal and certain other revenues are accrued based on the unexecuted portion of long-term contracts; and intrafund transactions are disclosed as revenues and expenditures.
The budget represents departmental appropriations recommended by the Governor and adopted by the General Assembly prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the department level.
All unencumbered annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end unless otherwise specified by constitutional or statutory provisions. Supplementary and amended appropriations may be enacted during the next legislative session by the same process used for original appropriations.
Encumbrances are used to indicate the intent to purchase goods or services. Liabilities and expenditures are recorded upon issuance of completed purchase orders. Goods or services need not have been received for liabilities and expenditures to be recorded.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The State of Georgia uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid fmancial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Funds presented in this report are follows:
Budget Fund - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Appropriations Act.
General Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the collection of specific revenues of the State of

Georgia as provided by statute or administrative action; and transfers to the various state organizations for operational costs in the fiscal year. This is not a General Fund as defmed by generally accepted accounting principles. No appropriations of expenditures are made to the General Fund (Statutory Basis).
Debt Service Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general obligation bond debt principal, interest and related costs. The unretired principal balance of general obligation bond issues is also reported in this fund, as is an "amount to be provided" (from future appropriations) for retirement of bond principal. This is not a Debt Service Fund as defmed by generally accepted accounting principles.
All funds included in this report are reported in conformity with statutory requirements.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The State of Georgia maintains its Budget Fund and its Debt Service Fund in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Further, the modified accrual basis of accounting calls for ~xpenditures to be recorded when the related fund liability IS mcurred. Contractual obligations for services which have not been performed and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in accordance with Constitutional provisions and State budgetary policy.
The General Fund (Statutory Basis) is maintained substantially on the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting, with the exception of the accrual of amounts due to the various state organizations for operational costs of the fiscal year.

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

An understanding of the budget process in Georgia will help readers to use more easily the contents of the F.Y. 2000 Budget Report. The following information is presented for this purpose.
Annual state appropriations, as approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Govemor, are the authority for the expenditure of all state funds. Budgets are established for each agency based on appropriations, and state laws prescribe strict conditions that govern all expenditures.
THE SOURCES OF FUNDING
Budgets are based on the availability of state general funds, state dedicated funds (such as motor fuel taxes, state lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund), reserves and surpluses, funds collected and retained for expenditure by agencies, federal funds, and a few smaller categories. Broadly, funds are identified in the Budget Report and in general use as state funds and total funds. The distinctions are:
STATE FUNDS--(l) The taxes and fees collected by the state and deposited directly into the state treasury to be appropriated; (2) Reserves; (3) Surplus funds; (4) Lottery receipts; (5) Indigent Care Trust Funds and (6) motor fuel tax funds, all of which form the basis for the Governor's revenue estimate.
TOTAL FUNDS--All funds available for appropriation, including (1) State funds as described above; (2) Federal funds; and (3) Other funds from a number of sources, mostly fees and charges assessed and retained by agencies.
STATE FUNDS
State funds generally comprise over half of the total appropriations in the budget. The state fund total is most frequently used in news reports and is the total that most often generates public debate and deliberations by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The level of federal and other funding is often driven by the level of state fund appropriations.
Taxes represent the largest portion of state revenue sources, about 90%. The two largest tax sources are the income tax and the sales tax. Other revenue sources include fees and sales, lottery funds, and Indigent Care Trust Funds.
FEDERAL AND OTHER FUNDS
Federal funds flow directly to state agencies from the many federal programs that provide grants to state and local

governments. While most federal funds for local governments go directly to the recipient cities and counties, some grant funds are distributed to local governments through the state budget.
Other funds include a broad category of revenues that are collected by agencies and retained for expenditure without going through the state treasury. They are expressly approved by an appropriations act or can be amended into an agency's budget with approval of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB).
Funds that are collected by agencies and turned over to the state treasury by law become state general funds and are available for appropriation by the General Assembly for any purpose.
Funds retained by state agencies for direct expenditure include college tuition fees, state park revenues, and a host of other fees and collections for various services rendered.
REVENUE ESTIMATE
Georgia's State Constitution requires that the General Assembly approve a budget that balances expenditures with anticipated fund availability. Therefore, each year's budget cannot exceed the total of revenues expected to be collected and any surplus or reserve funds that are available for expenditure.
The Governor, who is the Budget Director, is responsible for establishing the official revenue estimate. He is assisted in this responsibility by a state economist under contract as a consultant with OPB, which serves as the budget staff for the Governor.
The basis for making revenue projections is a computerized econometric model. From this model, a range of estimates is provided to the Governor by his economic advisor. In December, just prior to finalizing his budget recommendations to the General Assembly, the Governor adopts a final revenue estimate--an action that, when added to surplus and reserve funds, determines the size of the forthcoming appropriations bill.
SURPLUS FUNDS
Surplus funds come from two sources: (1) Excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate; and (2) Unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and may be available for re-appropriation.
Lapses occur in two ways: (1) Appropriation amounts that OPB never allotted to agencies for expenditure, an action that automatically puts the funds back into the

713

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

treasury; and (2) Appropriations that were allotted for expenditure but were unspent at the end of the year. These funds are lapsed back into the treasury by the State Auditor following the annual audits of each agency.
RESERVES
Two reserves are established by the state on June 30, the end of the state's fiscal year, if funds are available--the Midyear Adjustment Reserve and the Revenue Shortfall Reserve.
The Midyear Adjustment Reserve is established by the State Auditor on June 30 each year and represents 1% of net revenue collections for the prior fiscal year, to the extent surplus funds are available up to that total. The Reserve is set aside to be appropriated in an amended budget at the next session of the General Assembly. The Reserve is considered to be the primary fund source for the State Board of Education's "Midterm Adjustment." This adjustment is appropriated in the amended budget each year to provide the state's share of the increased cost of new students enrolled in the fall.
The Revenue Shortfall Reserve is equal to 3% of the prior fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available, and is established after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. The Shortfall Reserve is the state's rainy day fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues at the end of the fiscal year.
Occasionally, other reserves can be available for appropriation. For instance, the Motor Fuel Reserve represents funds earmarked for expenditure by the Department of Transportation in years when motor fuel tax collections exceed the original budgeted estimate for motor fuel collections in the preceding fiscal year. All motor fuel tax collections are constitutionally allocated to the Department of Transportation whether appropriated or not, but are routinely included in the state's amended budgets.
HOW BUDGETS ARE APPROVED
The budget process for any given year, from the first planning stages to post-auditing, involves a series of actions spread over about two and one-half years.
Three kinds of budgets can be approved in Georgia- -an original budget, an amended budget and a supplementary budget. An original budget is just what is says - - the first budget passed for a fiscal year. Generally, this budget remains in effect until the General Assembly convenes in January, at which time the budget is generally changed by adding appropriations, decreasing appropriations or shifting expenditures between object classes.

An amended budget is one in which any type of change can be made - - additions, deletions or transfers. A supplementary budget is one which includes only new spending. Generally, a supplementary bill is passed early in the session to provide appropriations needed before a more extensive amended bill can be passed.
All of these budgets, at the end of the session, become one operating budget for the state, with no distinction made for the various appropriations acts that are passed.
The General Assembly can meet at any time in special session and amend the budget in effect. These occasions are rare, having occurred only twice in recent decades. Both were triggered by recessions in Georgia that required major budget cuts to avoid spending more money than was available for expenditure.
State law requires all state agencies to submit a request for appropriations for the next fiscal year to OPB no later than September 1 of each year. Most agencies start preliminary work on these requests in the spring for a fiscal year that is 14 to 15 months in the future. At the same time, agencies may request amendments for changes in the current fiscal year's budget.
In early September, the Governor begins a four-month period in which he studies the budget requests of each department and develops his recommendations to the General Assembly. During this interim, he meets with department heads and consul!s with OPB staff in fmalizing his proposals.
BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Governor normally appears before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the first week in January to announce his recommendations for amending the current year's budget. The next year's budget recommendations are announced by the Governor during his annual Budget Message, which is delivered to a joint legislative session during the first week of the annual session. The Legislature convenes on the second Monday in January.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION
By law, an appropriations bill is introduced in the House of Representatives and first goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being vote4 on by the entire House. The bill follows a similar path through the Senate. The House and Senate versions usually differ. While still working within the total revenue estimate established by the Governor, a conference committee is then appointed to reach a compromise on the two versions. The conference committee's version must be

714

THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA

totally accepted or rejected by each house. A rejection results in appointment of a new conference committee.
The process is the same for amended and outyear appropriations bills. The only difference is the General Assembly generally takes actions on amended and supplementary bills before taking up the budget for the following year. That is done because changes in the current year's budget often impact the following year's budget.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE BUDGET
Once an Appropriations Act has been signed into law, OPB, on behalf of the Governor, is responsible for ensuring that all state expenditures conform to the legislative mandate. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed spending authorizations by total appropriations or by object class. This is accomplished through approval by OPB of an annual operating budget, quarterly allotments and expenditure reports.
After the fiscal year ends, the State Auditor is responsible for auditing all expenditures of every state agency and operation, including all colleges and universities, authorities and school districts.

OBJECT CLASS APPROPRIATIONS
All funds are appropriated through common and unique object classes. There are more than a dozen common object classes such as personal services, regular operating expenses, capital outlay, travel and real estate rentals. Unique object classes, of which there are almost 100 in the State Board of Education alone, usually relate only to a specific agency.
The Appropriations Act in recent years has provided some flexibility for state agencies by authorizing some transfers between common object classes. The limits are: no common object class spending can exceed 102 percent of appropriations for that class, and total spending on all common object classes cannot exceed the total funds authorized.
Further transfers between these object classes are possible with permission of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Governor.

GLOSSARY

ADJUSTED BASE-The beginning point for development of the state budget for F.Y. 2000. The adjusted base consists of the F.Y. 1999 Annual Operating Budget, less non-recurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize the F.Y. 1999 pay for performance.
AGENCY FUNDS-Funds collected by the various agencies of state government and retained to be spent on agency programs. These funds are estimated .in the Governor's Budget Report and the Appropriations Act. The agencies can change the amount of these funds by amendments to the Annual Operating Budget based on actual collections during the year. Also known as Other Funds.
ALLOTMENT: The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure. Before each fiscal year begins, agencies must file an annual operating budget plan based on an Appropriations Act. Allotments are requested quarterly based on the plan. Once a quarterly allotment is approved for an agency, that agency can draw funds as needed.
AMENDED BUDGET REPORT-A document submitted by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor recommends spending changes in the current fiscal year for the agencies of state government. The Amended Budget Report can involve budget additions, budget deletions or transfers of funds within agency object classes. Also known as the "supplemental budget" or the "little budget."
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB}-A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and functional budget. The plan details a level of expenditure by object class for a given fiscal year and must be approved by OPB before taking effect.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENTRevisions to the annual operating budget which must be submitted to OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/function to another.
APPROPRIATION-An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public funds, a sum of money not in excess of the sum specified for the purposes in the authorization.
APPROPRIATIONS ACT-Legislation that has been passed by the General Assembly to authorize expenditure of state, federal and other funds during a given fiscal year. While under consideration, it is called an appropriations bill.

ATTACHED AGENCIES-Small agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for "administrative purposes only" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive funding through the larger agency. Authorities by law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur.
ATTRITION-A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees.
AUSTERITY REDUCTIONS-Spending cuts throughout all departments of state government as a result of slower growth in revenues than expected, resulting in projected shortfalls in anticipated revenue growth.
AUTHORITY-A public corporation formed to undertake a state responsibility that operates in a competitive fmancial and business environment and should be run like a business corporation.
