STATE OF GEORGIA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
ATLANTA 30334-0900
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
It is my pleasure to present this FY 2001 Budget Recommendation for the continued improvement of services to the citizens of our state. This budget reflects the continuation of initiatives implemented last year and enhancements that our continued economic growth allows to be funded. We are indeed in a very fortunate position.
While we are experiencing rapid growth and an expanding economy, we must target our resources in all areas of state government to those citizens in the greatest need. From the student in our public school who cannot read at grade level, to the child or family which does not have health insurance coverage, to the rural areas that are clamoring for economic revitalization, we must direct our resources to obtain the maximum impact. I believe that this budget brings us closer to that goal and to a brighter future for Georgia.
As a normal precaution, I have established a conservative revenue estimate of $13,427,000,000 for FY 2001.
First, to fulfill my promise, I am including $166 million, brought forward from FY 2000 surplus, for property tax relief for the citizens of Georgia.
Second, in education we must do better for the children of Georgia and we must provide the businesses and communities of this state with citizens who are better prepared for the workforce and for responsible citizenship. This budget proposes the implementation of many new initiatives recommended by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission (GERSC) that will be included in my legislative package on education.
These new initiatives will focus on education equity, interventions for low-performing schools and students and, finally, education accountability and will be funded with $114 million in new appropriations targeted to education reform. To improve equity in education, I am proposing a change in the aBE funding formula to make sure that all children in every school district receive adequate education, regardless of where that child was born or currently resides. Within the aBE formula, I have recommended additional changes in programs and categorical grants that will shift the focus in K-12 education to instruction in the classroom and improving student achievement. To improve our educational outcomes, I am proposing a new Office of Education Accountability to oversee the results of all components of our education system, from pre-kindergarten through post secondary at a very moderate cost of $3 million in the first year. These education reforms being recommended include redirecting allocations from central administration to programs that reduce class size or add additional instructional time for students who are behind academically; that provide for alternative education for disruptive students and students with differing learning styles; and that increase programs for the growing population of children whose native language is not English.
To improve our teaching workforce, I am providing almost $500,000 to pay the tuition of teachers who participate in the training of the National Teacher Certification Program by November 2000, and will provide those teachers that pass the examination a 10 % salary supplement. To assist teachers in focusing more on classroom instruction, I am recommending additional school personnel including counselors, psychologists, social workers and, by utilizing tobacco settlement funds, school nurses. All of these actions are designed to help teachers and local schools focus on improved student achievement while at the same time improving school climate and safety. Also, there is a proposal for $155 million to increase the state's contribution to teacher health insurance, increasing the contribution rate from 9.26 % to 13.1 %. In addition, $25 million is recommended for health insurance for non-certificated personnel and retired teachers.

I am also recommending $2.6 million to invest in excellence at historically black colleges. For the first time the operations of our technical institutes are being funded on a formula basis at a recommended cost of $8.6 million, another recommendation from GERSC. Moreover, lottery funds continue to be used for HOPE Scholarships and for improvements at all levels of our education system.
We must also target state services to our elderly and to the children of the state who are most in need. I propose combining $10.7 million in state, federal Temporary Assistance to Need Families (TANF), and tobacco settlement funds to begin a new early intervention program of intensive outreach services for at-risk families. Because our healthcare and insurance program costs are escalating significantly, I am recommending shifting savings resulting from the implementation of a Pharmacy Benefits Manager for the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs to cover other rising costs in both of these programs. And I am proposing significant healthcare program improvements utilizing funding from the tobacco settlement that Georgia is receiving.
Our economy remains strong and continues to grow. To enhance this growth and target the areas of the state most in need, I propose to use over $63 million of this year's tobacco settlement funds to initiate the One Georgia Fund to assist rural areas with economic development activities that will attract new businesses and assist in existing industry expansion. I am also recommending $11 million in state funds to increase the funding of economic development research and commercialization and marketing initiatives of the Georgia Research Alliance and Yamacraw Project.
Georgia's natural resources are one of our greatest assets. However, with our expanding growth these assets are coming under increasing stress and we must focus on the areas that have the greatest needs. I am recommending a new program of $30,000,000 to support communities in preserving twenty percent of their land as green space. To address our environmental regulatory issues, I am recommending an increase in the staffing of EPD and an increase in funding to provide direct assistance to Georgia businesses in dealing with environmental problems.
We must target our transportation planning to help solve issues that have impacted the flow of federal highway funds to Georgia. This bUdget provides funds to staff the Georgia RegionalTransportation Authority, which is tasked with developing programs and initiatives to address mobility, air pollution and growth problems in the non-attainment metropolitan areas of the state.
All Georgians deserve safe and secure communities and roads, and this bUdget increases prison programs and facilities and the staff of our State Patrol. I am including operating funds for the additional 1,300 diversion or transition beds that will come on line in late FY 2001. And, in supporting our Memorandum of Agreement with the U. S. Department of Justice, I am recommending $6.7 million for phasing in 300 new juvenile correctional officers in the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Finally, you will find throughout my bUdget recommendations an investment in information technology. We must equip state government with today's technology to prosper in tomorrow's global economy. I have included $2.5 million for Georgia Learning Connection, a web-based education information tool to assist teachers with lesson plans and instructional information. Also, I am including $34.4 million in lottery funds to provide local schools $25 per FTE for the purchase of technology, equipment, and/or technology training. There is also a proposal for $5 million to the GANET for web-based information that will enhance the management of state government and information services to citizens.
We have great challenges before us and I am excited about all of these initiatives and proposed improvements for Georgia. As always, I am looking forward to working with you during this legislative session as we craft the future of Georgia.

AN ECONOMIC REPORT
The Private-Sector Foundation for Georgia's State-Sector Budget

I.

Georgia's Dual Ecouomies

The Private Sector. Economic activity in Georgia

occurs in two interdependent sectors. In the private sector,

profit-driven businesses foresee opportunity from the acquisition

of inputs, their assimilation using chosen technology, and the

production of outputs saleable in markets within or without

Georgia. Such businesses spend to gain the services oflabor, of

sites and natural resources, of managerial and entrepreneurial

talent, and of physical and monetary capital. They allow for

uncertainties regarding recipes for production and accept risks of

a poor selection of marketable products. They move forward

with an integration of their private inputs with the available

"free" government inputs (ranging from law and order to physical

infrastructure). Finally, the resulting outputs are given an

identity and are offered for sale. For enterprises with appropriate

foresight, outputs of goods and services will be sold for at least

as much as needed to recoup the costs of gaining control of the

inputs, oforganizing their assimilation, and offashioning outputs

to appeal to a targeted set of purchasers. With obligations to

their suppliers discharged, businesses become creators of net

income for the state.

Although the production of goods and services within

Georgia is what brings income to the state, the goods and

services can be sold and delivered anywhere. Similarly, the

income which is generated can be spent on local commodities or

on "imports" from other parts of the nation or from foreign

suppliers. Whether or not goods and services are exported or

income is spent on imports, Georgians realize a net gain. For

gains to occur year after year, businesses must grow in number,

bolster their productivity, or augment their scale annually as well.

Gross state product, the money value of the state's output (or

income), will register their behavior. In order that per capita

product also grow, businesses must make their choices in a way

which raises productivity. Of course, businesses do not raise

productivity by recreating their entire operations annually;

instead , business advances are driven in the main through

incremental adjustments in input, technology, marketing, or

product. Choice and redefinition is an ongoing process.

The Public Sector. Economic activity in the public

sector is driven by the motives of elected officials. While the

motive is complex, representatives seem to strive to improve

their political standing, to rise in reputation above office seekers

with whom they compete, and to raise their own chances of

election to the same or other office. Like their business

counterparts, public officials are alert to opportunity. Theyincur

costs, choose technologies for programs and projects, and

generate outputs of goods and services which enhance or

complement, directly or indirectly, the incomes which flow to

constituents from activities in the private sector. At the same

time, the public officials improve their own political wellbeing.

A state government's menu of outputs is distilled from

among those goods and services which a voting public, already

enjoying products and services produced in the for-profit sector,

fmds most rewarding. Since there is no market in which a

purchase signals voter preferences, the entrepreneurs ofthe state sector must substitute astute judgment, party platforms, polling results, and benchmarking as guides in deciding what the voting public in fact desires and will support. Denied trademarks and advertising techniques which private-sector companies use to underwrite their choices and having no sales prices to adjust to gain appeal, elected representatives become accustomed to accepting the considerable risks in their choices. They come to rely on incremental adjustments. Political moves are tested in "real time" though study commissions, pilot programs, phased-in (or phased-out) provisions, geographical segmenting, demographic separation, extensive pre-conditioning, and publicized launches (and recalls). Considerable weight is placed upon the successes and failures of other elected officials in dealing with their constituents. Politicians "shop" competitively for guidance on issues which their peers and, now, they come to face.
Although output choices that suit the electorate afford political advantage, the raising ofmonies to cover costs ofinputs partially offsets that gain. Politicians would avoid that offset if there were a way. However, government has no receipts from sales and so must get its means for purchase by reaching into the private sector. Since distributions of taxes and fees cannot be precisely matched to distributions ofbenefits, the outreach menu oftaxes and fees must be carefully molded in order that political cost be minimized. Because of visibility and near universality, taxes and fees tend to promote sharper reactions among the electorate than do output programs with limited service groups and, often, an apathetic general public. Elected representatives respond to this public reaction using strategies similar to those used to settle the program menu. And, once established, the revenue-generating arm ofstate governments is typically adjusted only at the margin and usually with the "help" of some "crisis". Changes in tax rates and bases are commonplace but changes in major revenue sources are infrequent. Only occasionally when program expenditures and revenue inflows remain persistently and seriously imbalanced will options for a new revenue source be considered. Prior to their introduction, "competitive shopping" to see how a proposed measure has fared or is faring elsewhere likely will be undertaken. Once a change is decided, a stage-setting campaign will typically follow.
Revenue functions may appear to be more inertia-bound than service functions involving programs and projects. This is for good reason simply because of their respective bearings on income. If they must be increased, taxes and fees reduce incomes; on the other hand, expanded programs and projects increase incomes. Moreover, the secondary responses of the private sector to changes in taxes are often significant and negative. Thus, a rule of revenues over expenditures may go on for extended periods. Periodically, nevertheless, when imbalances become severe, the sovereignty will be upset

II.

The Role of the State-Sector Budget

State Budgets in General. For businesses, profit-

driven decisions can be aided by listings of anticipated outlays

which input volumes and prices impose on the one hand and on

the other by listings ofexpected receipts from sales ofthe output

which inputs and technology jointly provide. In essence, such

dual listings constitute a budget. A comparison of the dollar

totals in each listing allows expected profits (net incomes) to be

indicated. By incremental adjustments to inputs, technologies,

and products, business executives can vary the level ofexpected

profits. Taking all of their options into account, the executives

can then use a budget to select an optimal activity mix.

For a state government, a budget with a

parallel scheduling offorces which accomplish and which restrict

the achievement of political objectives would assist decision-

making. Unfortunately, the political weights tying respectively to

programs and projects and to outreach with taxes and fees are

manifest only subjectively. As a result, programs and projects

have to be entered in a budget in terms of the costs of their

provision even though entry in terms of the political worth of

their delivery would be preferred. Similarly, outreach with taxes

and fees has to be treated in terms of the dollar yield of the

components of the government's tax-and-fee function rather in

terms ofthe political costs oftheir levy. Marginal adjustments of

political benefits and costs in order to decide upon the optimal

involvement of state government is then ruled out. Instead,

public-sector budgets only permit the expected costs ofprograms

and projects to be compared with the revenues expected from

outreach. Still, in hearings and debate, the expert judgment of

seasoned and well-informed politicians introduces the weighting

that promises to make programs in the budget ofhighest political

merit and tax-and-fee components ofminimal political detriment.

Georgia's Budget in Particular. The Budget Report-

Fiscal Year 2001 follows the pattern of state budgets generally.

First, the Budget is obviously a political document. The

responsibility for its preparation rests with the Governor. In

order to serve in the appropriations process in the General

Assembly, the Budget must be balanced. It can propose

expenditure for programs and projects no higher than the revenue

yield expected from the existing taxes and fees. Accordingly, the

Budget rests on a private-sector foundation.

On the expenditure side of the ledger, the Budget

incorporates funding for a set ofprograms and projects which the

Governor ranks highest in terms ofpolitical contribution. They

best serve the electorate and thereby best serve the elected

officials. Though settled by the Governor, the chosen programs

must in general suit the members of the General Assembly as

well. Obviously, the same must be true of the revenue estimate

and its linkage to the private economy.

In view of the political service which the Budget

affords, the Governor expends much time and effort in

uncovering needs which the electorate wants met, in assessing the

form, effectiveness, and scale ofprograms aIreadyinplace, and

in finding new program technologies yielding more service (and political gain) for each dollar of expenditure.
Although the Budget is for Fiscal Year 2001, it builds both on what has gone on in recent fiscal years and what can be expected to mark fiscal years upcoming. The aspects of the private economy which bear on collections are viewed along a path extending at least five years backward and five years forward. Among aspects with relevance for revenues, the Governor must be especially sensitive to the trends in growth in the labor force, to the probable gains in productivity, and to changes in the mix of industry. Risks of an ebb in economic activity must be assessed and preparations made. Since recessions in Georgia typically have their origins outside the state, economic prospects in the nation in particular and in the commercial world generally have to be faced.
On the program side, the Governor settles issues of program need as well as ofprogram delivery. Given projections ofdemographics, distributions ofwellbeing, and areas ofservice for state government, the Governor tries to foresee provisions of programs that cater to emerging needs. Also, he endeavors to identify programs whose role will be shrinking. Programs or upgradings started as pilot projects have to be considered for generalization (or restriction) and phase-ins (or phase-outs) have to be marked for acceleration (or deceleration). Even the bureaucratic momentum ofagencies has to be evaluated to insure that government is serving the electorate rather than the reverse. Finally, the cost-effectiveness ofagency operations and the reach of programs toward their goals have to be taken into account. For the Governor, building political relevance into the Budget is a multi-faceted challenge and a many-dimensioned opportunity.
ill. The Private-Sector Setting In foreseeing revenues available to the State, the pace of
private-sector activity presently, in the near future, and in the more distant future all playa part. While bubbles and bursts in tax-and-fee segments distort activity for short periods, a revenue assessment must look past the peculiarities currently relevant and find the growth path which is underlying. Economic prospects in Georgia must build first upon prospects within the nation.
The U.S. Economy. Over the past three years, the U.S. economy has expanded at rates in excess of those experienced during the recovery from the 1990-1991 recession. Real gross domestic product, the overarching measure ofperformance, has climbed by 4.5,4.3, and 4.0 percent respectively in 1997, 1998, and 1999 (first three quarters). While this string of advances falls short of that in the mid-eighties and farther still below that ofthe first halfofthe sixties, the gains are markedly stronger and less volatile than in the 1992-1996 period. Output typically surges early in a recovery but it is unusual to get strong growth seven to nine years after an economic peak. Admittedly, the recovery following the slippage from the 1990 peak was unusual as well. Instead of growths of 5 percent and above as in 19761978 and 1983-1985, the growth in 1993-1995 stayed below 4 percent.

average. Because the state's expansion has been in service

industries in large part, there are few indicators of raised

higher in 1999 than it was in 1996. Admittedly, that ratio, around 17 percent, is at a forty year high. Were it not that consumers have adopted "a monthly charge and pay-offhabit", so high a debt level would be a threat to continuing growth. Third, consumption has been rising but, if motor vehicle and furnishings and appliance purchases are removed, the climb has been no more than allowed by growth in personal income, a low saving rate, and buoyant consumer sentiment. Motor vehicle sales have been climbing sharply for three years, a pace that will not continue. Still, the motor vehicle purchase cycle shows more moderate peaks and valleys than a decade ago. Any drain on 2000 and 2001 will therefore be modest. Sales of furniture and appliances reflects the bulge in new residential investment. Importantly, that surge has been tapering off throughout 1999. Fourth, gross private domestic investment has been exceptionally strong in the 1997-1999 years having risen at rates of about 1012 percent. As a percent of gross domestic product, real investment has been growing strongly and consistently since 1996, Much ofthis gain is explained by increases in spending on information processing equipment and software, increases that have been reaching 20 percent and more. Were all of this investment adding to capacity, growth in 2000-2001 would certainly be slowed as that capacity was absorbed. However, the rate of technological advance in information processing equipment and software and the "broad distribution of its users

productivity advantage. However, there is no doubt about Georgia's lead in growth in employment. While the U.S. rise in employment over the 1997-1999 years was about 2.5 percent per year, Georgia's was about 3.1 percent. Significantly, the employment gain in Georgia in these three years was below that achieved in the 1992-1996 years of recovery (4.2 percent). Remembering that real income climbed more slowly in those years than in the last three years, the productivity of Georgia's labor force has clearly been rising even ifat rates no greater than nationally.
Although detail for Georgia's gross state product does not match that for the U.S. gross domestic product, all indications are that the forces pushing expansion in the U.S. have been active in the state. However, construction has been a stronger contributor in Georgia. Gauged by employment, Georgia's construction industry added workers at an average rate of6.5 percent over the 1997-1999 years whereas for the nation it was only about 5.0 percent. Much ofthe difference is explained the growth in population which has been at a 2 percent rate in Georgia, half that for the country. The population growth also accounts for the fact that about 80 percent of Georgia's employment gain has been in the population-sensitive industries of trade and services. In the latter industry, employment has been rising at around 5 percent per year whereas for the former the increase has been about 3 percent. Significantly, gains in

15

AN ECONOMIC REPORT

both trade and services were stronger earlier in the decade. From 1993 to 1996, services employments climbed at a 7.7 percent and made the state the national leader in growth in that industry.
With Georgia's unemployment rate now below 4 percent, a level below any achieved since the sixties, the rate of growth in employment and so in income in the next couple of years has to slow. While in-migration will continue, it is unlikely that it can push population growth much above its current rate of 2.0 percent per year. If employment growth is curbed, the advance in income will also be contained unless the employment gains which are achieved prove to be more productive. With growth coming in trade and services, the elevation of productivity appears unlikely.

IV. Georgia's State-Sector With income and output advancing strongly in the
United States and in Georgia in the past three years and in 1999 in particular, activity in Georgia's state-sector could be expected to advance as well. Afterall, with government services complementing private incomes, as stressed earlier, the calls for programs and projects would seemingly become more frequent and louder. Elected officials would see opportunity in responding and would have the means to do so even without modifying their reach into the private sector with taxes and fees. In fact, such an expansion has taken place.
With Georgia's personal income (in current dollars) climbing by about 7.0 percent in FY 1999, the 8.3 percent gain in state revenues appears slightly larger than should have been anticipated. However, the gain for FY 1998 was only 5.3 percent which was below the FY 1997 increment of6.6 percent. In view of the time lags involved in the linkage of tax collections to private activity, it may be surmised that a change in dynamics somehow shifted some revenues affected by activity in FY 1998 into FY 1999. Consequently, collections in FY 1999 were probably overstated and those in FY 1998 understated. If so, revenues probably remained in the same relationship topersonal income as in prior years and, the dynamics of reporting and collection aside, probably grew at about 7 percent each year in line with or slightly greater than growth in personal income.

Even without adjustment for tunmg, the state's collections from personal income in the years of strong gain did not rise above the pattern set in the past 30 years. As Figure 2 shows, the outreach function decided by Georgia's elected officials has kept the share ofprivate incomes transferred to the State to buy inputs for its programs and projects within narrow bounds. Despite considerable variation in revenue growth (Figure 3), the participation ratio has varied by little more than that induced by inconstant growth in the private sector. In view ofthe increasing proportion ofrevenues generated by individual income taxes, the stability in share of personal income that is claimed is remarkable. Of course, the more dominant the yield of the individual income tax becomes, the more likely that the yield of the outreach function will vary. The threat to revenues during recession grows especially strong.
Both in the nation and in Georgia, there are indications that the growth rate in corporate profits has slowed. The increase in profits in the U.S. in 1999 dropped to half of what it was in 1997. In terms of tax liability, the pattern nationally and in Georgia is volatile. But, growth has been edging downward. As profits ease, so do the resources for investment. And, as highlighted earlier, ifinvestment eases, so probably will growth. This interaction explains why, at the end ofearlier expansions in Georgia, a pronounced and continued weakening of revenues from corporate income taxes has been a harbinger ofslowdowns. Accordingly, it is not good news that corporate income taxes, though only about 6 percent of revenues, should have been weakening in the first few months ofFY 2000.
An easing of growth in Georgia's private economy is virtually certain. At full employment, expansion becomes costly. Gains following population and productivity growth are essentially all that can be managed. Consequently, growth in revenues will also slow, probably from a 7 to 8 percent range into a 6 to 7 percent range. But, there is a big difference between a slowdown and a recession. Presently, no economic shock sufficient to induce recession in the U.S. or in Georgia is in sight.

RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING

Now in its fourth year of phased implementation, RBB is helping the Governor fulfill his promise of making state government more effective and more accountable to Georgia's 7.7 million citizens.
When fully implemented, RBB will move the state towards a results oriented budget as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act. It will provide a concise overview on the progress that state programs are making in addressing the economic, education, social, and service needs of the citizenry.
By examining trends in program performance, state policy-makers, agency managers, and program customers will be able to identify effective program strategies and those strategies that need improvement or total revision. This information can be used to "red flag" problem programs for careful review to identify the reasons for substandard performance. This can help policy makers determine whether the apparent lack of program impact has resulted from such problems as: poor planning; faulty program design; ineffective management; inadequate resources; missing, inaccurate, and/or noncurrent data; or extraneous conditions outside the program's control.
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.
Last year, state agencies were asked to update their FY 2000 RBB submissions by providing FY 2001 Desired Results and FY 1999 Actual Results. Agencies were required to provide more complete data disclosure so that persons reading the Results-Based Budget could better understand the reliability, accuracy, and timeliness of reported data.
As agencies began compiling data, some agencies found that they did not routinely collect and analyze program results and, thus, began developing data collection systems. Other agencies found that existing data collection methods were inadequate or produced flawed information; they often began modifying the way they collected and analyzed data. Some programs realized that their measures should be revised to adequately assess results so they began work on modifying their next year's Goals and Desired Results. Still other programs found that when they systematically analyzed results data, their previous projections needed to be revised. Readers will find periodic footnotes identifying that actual and desired results data have been revised along with explanations as to why the revisions were necessary.
Thus, Results-based Budgeting has not only made government more accountable to its citizens, but also has had an positive impact on government programs. Program managers are already using RBB information to better plan, set priorities, manage, and provide services to the public.
This year, the Budget Report includes all executive agencies, their programs and subprograms, program goals, actual results for FY 1998 and FY 1999, and desired results for FY 1999, FY 2000, and FY 2001. For the first time, policy makers and the public can compare programs' projected accomplishments against actual performance and, in doing so, can begin to see trends in the effectiveness of state government programs.

State Strategic Plan

Vision {or Georgia
Georgia is a state blessed with bountiful resources and great people. It is the fastest growing state east of the Mississippi River and is known worldwide as a place in which the environment for business is positive and the quality of life for its citizens is excellent. However, no state can rest on its laurels and expect its economy to continue to flourish and its citizens to grow and prosper. We must maintain our positive national status, but we have new work that must be done to expand our prosperity to all regions of the state and solve issues that threaten our continued success. There are eight areas upon which state government and the people of Georgia must focus to achieve a better Georgia in the new millennium. We start from a great position. We also have formidable challenges. Together we can build the Georgia of the new century by focusing on the education of our people, the health of our citizens, the health of our economy, the stewardship and smart management of our growth, the improvement of our environment, the safety of our communities and a government that is accountable to the taxpayers, the citizens whom government serves. Finally, we must embrace and expand the capacity and the use of all forms of technology, particularly information technology, to achieve success in all elements of our society.
Education for Georgia's Future
Our state has a strong foundation for educating all of our citizens. However, we must do better. We must act upon our belief that every child in our state can learn, and that no child should be left behind. In the global marketplace of the new millennium, Georgia must improve the education services that we provide our citizens, from birth through lifelong learning opportunities and all education components in between. To improve these education services, the state must focus upon the results that we want our education programs to produce. To make this progress in education results, we must have improved cooperation and communication among all education components at the state, regional and local levels. Additionally, we must develop a system of accountability for all components of the education system. This focus upon accountability will require the development of a measurement system and a student information system that track the progress of every student, at every level of their education experience. The final outcome will be a dynamic education system that delivers on the promise of a quality education for every citizen. Every citizen, our economy, our communities and our society will be the winners for this focus and effort.
Safe Communities and Safe Citizens
Our state and its cItIzens enjoy a superior quality of life. However, we must be ever vigilant to provide each citizen and community with a sense of security and real safety. No citizen or visitor to this state should fear for his or her safety on our streets, in our neighborhoods or in any community anywhere in Georgia. This requires Georgia to first focus upon the

prevention of crime. When crime does occur, however, we must demand and produce swift and accurate justice and provide appropriate sanctions for those offenders who chose to commit crime against the citizens of this state. Our judicial system must be well equipped and staffed to ensure that justice is swift and fair. Our law enforcement community must have the tools and the manpower to prevent crime by its presence and interaction with the community. There must be adequate staffing and equipment to respond quickly and efficiently to crime when it occurs. Finally, we must provide sufficient secure facilities to protect society from violent and dangerous felons.

Statewide Economic Prosperity

Georgia has enjoyed rich economic growth over the past several

years. It is imperative that we continue to enhance the business

environment of the state to compete in the global economy. As

a regional leader in the South, Georgia must capitalize on the

technology resources and infrastructure that we now have to

attract new businesses and to keep and expand existing business.

As the global and national economies become increasingly

knowledge-based, information-driven, and service delivery-

focused, we must position Georgia and its citizens to take

advantage of these new and emerging markets. We must also

focus on bringing economic vitality to all of rural Georgia by

investing in economic development strategies and the

infrastructure that value innovation, attract businesses and keep

communities vital and viable. With we must help localities formulate

the entire ideas and

wcoreraldteasbuasminaerskseet~

and strategies that meet this new international market for

products and services. In concert with the state's education

reform efforts, we must ensure that Georgia's workforce is well

prepared, educated and trained. New and existing businesses

must have a qualified workforce to create economic prosperity

for Georgia. We must always provide a positive environment

for business to flourish and ensure a quality of life that will

attract companies to locate and thrive here.

Transportation and Land Use Planning

The metropolitan areas of Georgia have experienced remarkable and prosperous economic and physical growth over the past two decades. Many of this state's metropolitan counties are among the fastest growing counties in the United States. While this has been a blessing for the economic prosperity of our citizens, it has also created challenges for the continued exceptional quality of life that we enjoy throughout Georgia. The orderly development of our metropolitan communities is required to protect our water and air quality, to improve our commute times and reduce traffic congestion, to protect our "green spaces" and to promote our overall quality of life that every citizen demands and deserves. The balancing of growing our economy and building businesses while ensuring a good quality of life for each citizen must be carefully managed for 'good' growth. With better coordination and collaboration between local entities and the state, we must ensure that wise transportation and land use decisions are made when we add housing and business developments and new business centers. Our cities and

18

State Strategic Plan

communities in the metropolitan areas of Georgia must be livable, prosperous, clean, safe and places where people want to work and can enjoy their lives in the way they choose. These are communities where commerce can thrive.
Clean Environment and Water Stewardship
Georgia's natural resources are vast and impressive. We must never reduce our commitment to keeping these resources clean and wholesome for our present citizens as well as for future generations. This will require a united front from government, business, communities and individual citizens. Clean air, water and soil are critical components of a successful state and a positive quality of life. We must conserve when needed. We must clean up our mistakes of the past. We must ensure that the infrastructure for water and sewer statewide is modem and safe. Our rivers and lakes must be clean, and our water sources must be protected and preserved. And we must be vigilant in our wastewater management to support our overall water resource management. Without clean air, water and soil, we cannot have healthy citizens and our ability to attract and keep business will be negatively impacted. We must have the resolve to be vigilant in balancing our needs for growth with our needs to have healthy citizens and communities. We must forever protect our natural resources for today and in the future.
Community Health
A strong state is made up of strong and healthy citizens and communities. The continuing shift in healthcare delivery across America has created challenges for our state to ensure that all citizens receive the healthcare that they need. With pressing issues of healthcare costs and medical insurance coverage for all citizens, the state must continue its efforts to control state associated healthcare costs and provide the necessary insurance coverage to indigent children who are not insured. Georgia needs a healthcare system that works in the marketplace but also provides medical care for every Georgian who needs that care. This requires a strong partnership among the medical delivery system, the insurance industry and the state to maximize citizens access to comprehensive healthcare. Good healthcare systems that provide comprehensive, accessible and efficient medical care for citizens are important to the economic vitality of the state.
Accountable Government
Good government is an important component of a successful state and community. Government can broker alliances with the private sector and citizens to foster solutions to many issues. A successful state government should not get in the way of its lawabiding, tax-paying citizens. Georgia's state government must be managed to provide the maximum of responsive, useful and excellent services for the minimum, most efficient cost. Citizens trust government that provides services they need and that can show results of the programs that are provided. In

education, every citizen should know if our children and students have learned the curriculum that they are expected to. learn. In the environment, citizens want to know if the air and water is cleaner. If targets and improvements are not achieved in these and other areas, then strategies can be implemented to get the results that citizens need and demand. State government can manage its programs more effectively and efficiently if it measures results for accountability purposes. The taxpayers must always be able to determine the value of what they get for their tax investment.
Technology
Every other component discussed in this VISion cannot be achieved without the integrated use of technology throughout Georgia and at all levels of government in our state. The global marketplace is becoming a knowledge-based economy. Information and the quick access to that information will be the critical component in achieving the success we have outlined in education, community and citizen safety, statewide economic development, well managed growth for Georgia, a clean environment and water stewardship, community health and finally, an accountable and good government. Technology will provide the connectivity between all elements of government, the private sector and Georgia's citizens. Georgia must build the technology infrastructure and capacity to compete in this new global marketplace. Georgia must also ensure that we have a technology-literate citizenry and workforce. The new millennium will bring enormous challenges but also remarkable opportunities for Georgia. Our state, its businesses and its citizens must be connected to that world of the 21 st century to prosper, and technology will provide that connection.
Conclusion
The future of Georgia is bright and full of promise. We must rededicate our efforts to provide quality education for all Georgians of all ages. We must provide for the safety of all our citizens and communities. We must foster a prosperous economic environment. Because of our successes in economic development, we must manage the development and population growth through good transportation and land use planning. We must ensure a clean environment and proper stewardship of all of our water resources. We must enable a comprehensive healthcare process that provides access to adequate healthcare to all Georgians. We must demand and deliver a good and accountable state government that provides effective and efficient services and programs. And, finally, we must embrace and expand technology in the lives of all citizens to achieve all ofthe above goals.

READER'S GUIDE

The FY 2001 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with the Governor's budget recommendations to the 2000 General Assembly.
This Budget Report reveals the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for FY 2001, which begins July 1, 2000 and ends June 30, 2001. 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 2000 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fiscal year that ends on June 30, 2000.
The Budget in Brief is published in May after the legislative session ends and covers all expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the upcoming fiscal year and for the current fiscal year in effect.
CHANGES IN FY 2001
The FY 2001 Budget Report is organized essentially in the same format as the previous edition, but there is one noteworthy change. The third phase of the RBB program is underway.
RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING
RBB 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 Summaries and Program Fund Allocations.
The first phase of Program Summaries in the FY 1998 Budget Report provided information on each program by name, purpose and goals. The second phase, documented in the FY 1999 Budget Report, identified desired results expected from each program during FY 1999. The second phase also refined and identified programs more in line with the state's original expectations. The FY 2000 Budget Report started phase three, which

involved the identification of benchmarks against which desired results will be measured. The FY 2001 document completes phase three by including actual results for RBB programs against previously identified desired results.
The Program Fund Allocations section provides the Governor's FY 2001 budget recommendations for each program and the FY 2000 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 previously provided in the state's budget documents.
REDIRECTION
A new dimension was added to the State of Georgia's budget process beginning with FY 1997 - Redirection. The concept will be entering its fifth year in FY 2001, and it has been one of the main instruments in making possible increases in funding for specific areas 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 summary -- 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 new or enhanced services.
To achieve this goal, all departments had to present their FY 2001 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least 5% of an agency's FY 2000 adjusted base budget. Agencies are allowed to include general efficiency cuts, or reductions in their operating expenses, as a 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.
Fund growth in formula and entitlement-related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas.

READER'S GUIDE

Increase fund availability for priority areas within state government as a whole.
The adjusted base budget was determined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the FY 2000 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 2000 salary adjustments.
Once the adjusted base budget was determined, agency heads were allowed to request enhancement funds for new or expanded services above the 100% adjusted base level. Agency enhancement requests were limited to 4% 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 FY 2001 BUDGET REPORT
Departments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this FY 2001 Budget Report with each section providing a different level of information about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section.
ORGANIZATION CHART
Each agency's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the major divisions comprising each department. The description of services performed by each division is noted in the Roles and Responsibilities section.
The numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October I, 1999 for each division. The total number of positions budgeted for each department is listed underneath each department's title at the top of the page.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Highlights page for each department provides a summary of new or expanded appropriations that are being recommended for that department by the Governor. The page may be omitted for any agency that does not have sufficient enhancements to justify a separate page for such highlights.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The Financial Summary for each department provides up to 12 different levels of budget information by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations.
The first page of each summary includes the following information concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests:
FY 1998 and FY 1999 actual expenditures, FY 2000 current operating budget, and FY 2001 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals.
The second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the FY 2001 Governor's recommendations:
Adjusted Base, Funds to Redirect, Additions, Redirection totals, and 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. The totals for each category of fund sources are shown at the bottom of the tables. Total State Funds, displayed in bold type, represents state general funds either recommended or appropriated to the departments.
The number of positions and motor vehicles are the last items displayed under each table.
BUDGET SUMMARY
The Budget Summary explains the Governor's recommendations, as displayed by object class on the second page of the Financial Summary section, from the perspective of new budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new, expanded or redirected programs and services that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary.
ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The first line lists the existing state appropriations for FY 2000, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for FY 2001 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases and reductions for non-recurring expenditures.

21

READER'S GUIDE

These adjustments to the 2000 appropriation total provides the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his FY 200 I 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 basic department responsibilities as determined 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 FY 200 I combines the contents of both pages found in older budget reports.
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 final stages of implementation, those that are currently being implemented and possibly expanded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future.

CAPITAL OUTLAY
The state's Capital Improvement Program was expanded 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 FY 200 I, the Capital Improvement Program displays capital outlay needs for fiscal years 2002 through 2005, 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. It also requires agencies to view the budget requests as the first year of their multi-year capital plan.
Both the FY 200 I capital requests and recommendations and the fiscal year 2002-2005 projections are organized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided using 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 3% of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over 3% is available for appropriation.

The status of the reserve, as of the end of the fiscal year, for the last 15 years is as follows:

FY 1999 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 oflottery 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% ofthe total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. Ifnet funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage.

Funds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $55,507,200 on June 30, 1999.

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% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year.

Lottery surplus available at the end ofFY 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended FY 1996 budget and left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The Subaccount's balance on June 30, 1999 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of$65,706,349.

The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1999 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 $530,000,000 for 2001. The Governor recommends $530,000,000 for the following programs.
VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOURYEAR-OLDS
This program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $232,645,928 in 2001 to serve 63,500 four-year-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 27,347 four-year-olds and all other private providers serving 36,153 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,413.86 in base earnings per student.
The reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs ofproviding services. Weekly rates for 2001 for the 36-week program represent a 2% increase over the 2000 rates and are as follows:
With a State-Certified Teacher:
Zone 1*$94.10 Zone 2*$85.42
With a Non-Certified Teacher:

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 200 1 consists of the following components. For the high school class of 1993 through 1999, all course work taken in high school is used in calculating the final grade point average. (This grade point average is 3.0 for the college preparatory diploma and 3.2 for the technical diploma). For the high school graduating class of 2000, only the grades earned in core curriculum high school subjects will be counted in figuring the grade point average. For the class of2001, an additional unit of math will be required for the college preparatory diploma. Governor Barnes recommends for FY 2001 that sophomores in the HOPE scholarship program whose average drops below a "B" average will be eligible to regain HOPE for their senior year if their cumulative grade point average rises to a "B" average or better at the end of their junior year. He also recommends that seniors who had not previously qualified for HOPE but who attain a cumulative "B" average at the end oftheir junior year receive HOPE 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 eligible fees 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).

Zone 1*$84.73 Zone 2*$76.04
* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for childcare 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 $20,128,575 for at-risk services including resource coordination services and transportation for at-risk four-year-olds and their families. In addition, $240,000 funds start-up costs for the expansion from 62,500 students in FY 2000 to 63,500 in FY 200 1. Additional start-up funds appear in the Amended FY 2000 Budget.

All students working toward a diploma or certificate at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost oftuition and eligible fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students who are working towards a degree at a technical institute must qualify for HOPE as described below. For the high school class of 1993 through 1999, all course work taken in high school is used in calculating the fmal grade point average. (This grade point average is 3.0 for the college preparatory diploma and 3.2 for the technical diploma). For the high school graduating class of2000, only the grades earned in core curriculum high school subjects will be counted in figuring the grade point average. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, students working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants for their sophomore year. Each grant will be equal to the cost of

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS

tuition and eligible fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical institutes. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education.
The HOPE program will be administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in FY 2001 is projected to be $219,735,583. This includes Governor Barnes' recommendation that, beginning with 2001, the Pell grant offset will be removed for students seeking degrees, or diplomas at eligible collegeS-OI:.technical institutes.
The Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan, which will be forgiven ifthe individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for FY 2001 is $839,784.
The Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children ofpublic safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in FY 2001 is $232,330.

cumulative GPA of 3.2 will be eligible for a Promise Scholarship. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth ofthe loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years ofteaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, childcare, transportation or other expenses related to education. State funds recommended for this program total $975,000 for FY 2001.
The Engineering Scholarships are provided as service cancelable loans to Georgia residents, who are engineering students at private accredited engineering universities in Georgia, and to retain them as engineers in the state. Recipients must work in an engineering-related field one year for each $3,000 received. The cost of this program in FY 2001 is $600,000.
The Postsecondary Options program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 20-2-161 O.C.G.A. The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options program. The cost ofthis program in 2001 is $1,500,000.
The total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $227,382,697.

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 enhancetheir 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 FY 2001 will be $3,500,000.
The Promise Scholarship program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of coursework in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans.

GOVERNOR'S REDIRECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
The Governor's FY 2001 budget recommends $163.7 million to be redirected from agencies' adjusted base budgets into higher priority areas. The redirection level changes made in agencies' FY 2000 budgets enabled the Governor to focus spending on education, public safety, and transportation issues.
The agenices' FY 2001 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
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: establishment of an Enterprise

Network Operations Center, 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.

ENTERPRISE NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER
The department in its evaluation of the best private and public sector management and operation practices is adopting two of these approaches to consolidate the operation of its various voice and data network systems as well as its "help desk". The goal in consolidating these related systems and activities is to enable the department to better manage and plan their operation, resulting in improved service to customer agencies.
The first approach addresses the primary concern of organizing the assortment of voice and data systems into a single operation through consolidating all of these network functions into an Enterprise Network Operations Center (ENOC). The establishment of an ENOC allows for expanded and centralized oversight of these systems and carries the real potential of improving service and reliability to network users, facilitating the introduction of new and efficient technologies, making more effective use of skilled technical personnel, and lowering operating costs. In order to benefit greater from the array of network software tools available, the Center plans to integrate these tools into a single monitoring system which will have the ability to identify problems within

the Center's networks faster and more accurately, with the proper personnel notified sooner than under the current decentralized system management framework. These advantages enable Center management to become increasingly proactive in recognizing and resolving network problems, which benefits network customers through improved service.
The second approach involves unifying the department's 12 information technology "help desks" that have evolved over the years for the state's assorted systems and networks. When consolidation of these "help desks" is completed, customers will have a single "help desk" to contact for assistance concerning any of the department's systems or networks. The single "help desk" concept promises to eliminate customer confusion and frustration in determining which "help desk" to seek assistance, as is the case with the present collection of "help desks". The single desk also permits a problem affecting more the one system or network to be handle easier, efficiently and effectively since the staff knowledgeable about the systems and networks in use are available to resolve the problem in one area rather than in the present fragmented arrangement.
The department anticipates that the establishment of the ENOC combined with the "help desk" consolidation will position it to deliver better service to its customers. In following these best practices, the department also hopes to experience more effective and efficient use of personnel and fmancial resources.
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
60

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 OPIP'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 service center began as a pilot operation during FY 1999 with the entire program expected to be implemented statewide in phases throughout FY 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

DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES - Strategies And Services

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, 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.

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 (i.e., 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

(i.e. ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and

processing. The ratite meat 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 273,000 pounds of chipped plastic in FY 1999 through these efforts compared to the 245,250 pounds recycled in FY 1997. The division is also sponsoring a program known as Georgia Clean Day, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and funds from the Department of Natural Resources, 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

Food Establishment Inspections FY 1995 - FY 1999

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 eventually be used nationwide.
PESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL
The Pesticide Division is coordinating a program ill

illegal disposal of and environmental contamination from these outlawed pesticides. Since FY 1995, pesticide collections amounting to 421,089 pounds have been made in 38 counties.

AGRICULTURE PRODUCT

PROMOTION

The department is continuing its

activities to promote Georgia

agricultural products in campaigns

directed at the domestic and

international markets.

These

campaigns use the theme

"Georgia...Always In Good Taste" in

publicizing and displaying Georgia

83

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services

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 dealers/brokers, 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 2,200 establishments and respond to nearly 400 complaints annually.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
Strategies and Services

Since its creation, the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) 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.
The department serves as the Governor's representative to local communities and local government associations in matters dealing with local and regional community development issues and housing 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 Community Services. Housing assistance is provided through Housing Finance.
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 lowand 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 financial 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); 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 (DITT) before making the fmal assessment of projects eligible for REBA grant funds. Since 1994, 124 projects totaling over $32 million have been funded through REBA.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT Governor Barnes' FY 2001
Budget reflects his commitment to assist rural Georgia with its development needs. The Governor has dedicated one-third of the revenues from the tobacco settlement to economic development efforts benefiting rural Georgia. The Governor's One Georgia Fund, to be housed in the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority (GHFA), will utilize these proceeds to provide a combination of grants and loans to Georgia communities to assist them in

their economic and community

development efforts. The Governor's

FY 2001 Budget includes

$63,082,213 for the fund.

The One Georgia Fund will

provide assistance to rural

communities in two broad areas:

business

development

and

infrastructure projects. The amount

and form of state assistance to a

community will depend on the nature

of the project and the wealth of the

community.

Recognizing the importance of

recruiting companies to provide jobs

in rural Georgia, Governor Barnes has

initially provided $10 million in

tobacco funds within the One Georgia

Fund to facilitate the location and

expansion of firms in rural Georgia.

Financial assistance will be provided

only in instances where a project

would not come about in the absence

of the assistance. In addition, to be

eligible for funding, a project's

benefits must exceed its costs.

The infrastructure and capacity

building portion of the fund is

centered on the principle that

Georgia's communities must be

empowered to help themselves.

While providing funds to assist

communities with economic

development, the fund also requires

that communities be actively helping

themselves in order to be eligible for

infrastructure and capacity-building

assistance.

In order to be eligible for this

funding, the region in which a

community is located must be

certified by a new Regional

Certification Program. The program

includes a set of straightforward,

objective criteria that will serve as a

guideline for communities in

measuring their preparedness for

economic development. The regional

representatives of DCA and DITT

will be available to assist

communities

in

achieving

certification.

rural areas will be provided from

in GHFA. Funding for business

development and infrastructure

projects in urban areas will be

provided using state funds (REBA,

RAP, and the Technology Action

Fund in DITT).

The department also houses the

State Office of Rural Development,

which was created in 1987 to provide

support to the State Rural

Development Advisory Committee.

Although the Committee fell dormant

in the early 1990s, Governor Barnes

recreated this body as the Georgia

Rural Development Council in

August 1999 to address the needs,

problems, and opportunities of

Georgia's rural areas. With the

Lieutenant Governor serving as

chairman, the Council will once again

serve as the central focus for rural

economic development activities and

other issues of importance to rural

Georgia. The department will once

again provide support to the Council

through its Office of Rural

Development.

REGIONAL 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 fmandal and technical assistance to Georgia's communities. In the area of fmancial assistance, the targeted regional assistance grant program was created in FY 1998 for multi-county or regional projects. As of September 1999, 15 projects totaling almost $3.5 million have been funded through this program.
In an effort to strengthen the

state's support for community and economic development, the department partnered with DITT in FY 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.
LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS The department has broad
authority to provide grants and serves as the administrative agent for projects placed in DCA's budget by the Governor and General Assembly for local governments and school boards.
The Governor has recommended Local Assistance Grant funds for 4 projects in the Amended FY 2000 budget. Three of the projects support tourism in 3 areas of the stateAugusta, Savannah, and Bainbridge.
The first recommendation provides $10,000,000 to the City of Augusta for a variety of projects designed to increase tourism and economic activity. These funds are expected to leverage an additional $40,500,000 in local, private and other funds.
The Governor's second Local Assistance Grant recommendation in the Amended FY 2000 budget provides $8,955,000 to the City of Savannah for a number of tourism projects, including restoration activities at the State Railroad Museum, maintenance and repairs at the local visitor's information center, the implementation of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard Revitalization Plan, and the rehabilitation of existing trolleys for use on River Street. There are also

matching funds for a federal mass transit grant in the Department of Transportation's budget that will fund a water taxi. When local government and private funding sources are taken into consideration, the total cost of all projects is estimated to be $23,470,000.
The third tourism project is a local assistance grant that provides $1,554,600 to construct the Southwest Georgia Welcome Center in Bainbridge, which will be owned and operated locally.
Finally, the Governor's Amended FY 2000 budget recommendation includes $7,000,000 for a Governor's Education Reform Study Commission pilot project to help fund the construction of the Coweta Central Education Center. This center provides for a three-way partnership among the Coweta School System, local businesses and the Department of Technical and Adult Education in delivering both secondary and postsecondary technical education at one location.
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 HOME program requires a state match of $1 for each $4 in federal funds. In the amended FY 2000 budget, the Governor recommended an additional $448,534

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services

in state funds to match an increase in federal HOME program funds designated for receipt by the state. This amount has been incorporated into the adjusted base for the department in FY 2001.
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. In GEFA's 13 years of operation, the authority has provided fmancial assistance to 221 cities, 59 counties and 18 authorities throughout the state. Although GEFA has provided over $345 million in water and sewer

loans to Georgia localities, the program has never had a default.
This year, the Governor is recommending $10 million in tobacco funds to continue state support for the loan program. The use of these funds will be targeted towards rural areas of the state. This installment of $10 million will help maintain 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 FY 2001 recommendation includes $3 million in G.O. bonds for the remediation and removal of stateowned fuel storage tanks on stateowned land. This is one 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 present, of the total 2,150 tanks on state-owned land, 253 have already been removed, 489 are in compliance and will be retained, and 1408 remain to be removed and remediated.
An additional $500,000 in state general funds is recommended in the amended FY 2000 budget for the removal of state-owned fuel storage tanks on non-state-owned land. While the state is responsible for the clean-up of these tanks according to federal law, the use of general obligation funds for these projects is not possible.

GEORGIA REGIONAL TRANS-

PORTATION AUTHORITY

The

Georgia

Regional

Transportation Authority (GRTA)

was created by the General Assembly

in 1999 at the urging of Governor

Barnes. The Governor has said that

he formed GRTA to ensure that

metropolitan Atlanta can sustain its

economic growth while maintaining

the excellent quality of life that has

made the area so attractive to

businesses and workers.

The authority, which is led by a

15-member board of directors, is

charged with combating traffic

congestion, air pollution and poorly

planned development in the 13-

county Atlanta region that is currently

designated as a "non-attainment" area

under the federal Clean Air Act.

GRTA's main role will be to review,

approve, and help implement

transportation plans for the region that

will bring the region into compliance

with air quality standards. If other

regions of the state are designated as

"non-attainment" areas, they would

then also fall under GRTA's purview.

The $3,000,000 appropriated by

the General Assembly in FY 2000

represents the authority's first annual

operating budget. Since July I, 1999,

the authority has been busy filling

staff positions, including that of the

executive director, and establishing its

operations.

In the amended FY 2000 budget,

Governor Barnes recommended

$302,139 to provide 3 months'

funding for 2 positions along with

increased operating expenses,

computer charges, real estate rentals

and equipment. The amended FY

2000 budget also recommended

increased per diem, fees and contract

funds to assist the authority in

determining its information support

needs, to review federal rules and

regulations relating to its mission, to

perform bank bidding services, and to

provide independent expertise on a

variety of transportation planning and

development issues.

The Governor has also

recommended $650,000 in the

amended FY 2000 budget to contract

planning, engineering and program

management functions related to the

initiation of passenger rail service in

Georgia.

These funds are

complemented by an additional

$650,000 that has been recommended

in the amended FY 2000 budget for

the Department of Transportation.

The use of these funds will be

coordinated by the Georgia Regional

Transportation Authority, the

Department of Transportation and the

Georgia Rail Passenger Authority

through an inter-agency Program

Management Team, bringing the

dream of passenger rail service into

reality.

The amended FY 2000 budget

contains $5,400,000 in capital outlay

funds for projects related to

transportation in the metropolitan Atlanta region. These funds will be used to purchase buses for the Clayton County Transit System (to be operated locally), to conduct a study on the implementation of a regional bus system, to conduct Phase I circulation studies of the Cumberland/Galleria and Perimeter Center areas, to study rail transit between the Cumberland Mall area and the Arts Center in midtown Atlanta, to purchase the SMARTRAQ transportation and land use modeling/planning tool, and to purchase vans for a regional van pool. The van pool represents one of the quickest possible responses to the metro region's air quality problems, as it will be possible to purchase vans

and begin operation of the van pool prior to the start of the next ozone season in the summer of2000.
The FY 2001 budget recommends an additional $1,679,746 to assist the authority in gearing up to meet the challenges of its legislative mandate. Of this amount, $552,341 would be used to fund 4 new authority positions-2 transit specialists, a contract compliance/ grants specialist, and a transportation planner/engineer. The FY 2001 budget also recommends an additional $356,000 in per diem, fees and contract funds for general professional services and a variety of transportation, air quality and GIS studies.

Desired Result 3a: Supportive Housing Awards

IThe 1998 Baseline and 1999 Desired Results levels were changed from records which reflected "programs" funded to "organizations" funded. The change was made to accommodate the reporting requirements of Georgia Nonprofit Reporting Requirements which requires state agencies to report the aggregate amount awarded per non-profit organization, not the amount by individual program operated by the nonprofit organization. This change reflects a reclassification by type, not a reduction in overall activity or funding levels.

DESIRED RESULT 3a: The number of supportive housing awards made to local agencies for the operation and development of shelter and supportive housing will remain constant at 250 from FY 2000 to FY 2001.

GOAL 4: Georgia's Section 8 citizens will achieve self-sufficiency through participation in the state's Section 8 SelfSufficiency program.

DESIRED RESULT 4a: The Section 8 Family SelfSufficiency Program will assist 500 households in FY 2001, with their requirement for independence from public assistance, at the same level as FY 2000.

$1,441,836,677 $53,91 0,245

HIGHLIGHTS

The Department of Community Health (DCH), created in July 1999, is the state's lead agency in health planning and purchases health care for almost 2 million Georgians.

$7,658,511 in state funding to address a 4.9% inflationary increase in the average wholesale price of drugs.

The Governor's FY 2001 recommendation increases agency state funding by 5.6 percent, including the provision of over $13 million in tobacco settlement funds. The Governor's recommendations provide maintenance of funding for Medicaid benefits, eligibility and waiver expansions, and some increases for provider reimbursement. The Governor also has recommended several administrative improvements designed to promote the efficiency, accuracy, and appropriateness of claims payments. Highlights of the Governor's recommendations are as follows:
$39,929,575 in state fund savings resulting from the implementation of a Pharmacy Benefits Manager in the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs.
$8,058,000 in state fund savings as a result of detailed processing of Medicare claims submitted to Medicaid for supplemental payment. Claims will be subject to the same edits that are used to process Medicaid claims.
$1,902,843 in state fund savings by cost avoiding Medicaid claims that should be reimbursed by third party payers. $1.23 million of the savings is estimated to come from pharmacy claims.
$402,900 in state fund savings by automating primary care physician authorization in the Georgia Better Health Care program. Authorization numbers for referrals by the primary care physician will be randomly generated by the department's Management Information System.
$16,793,723 in state funding to cover increases in utilization and changes in eligibility for the Medicaid program.
$9,947,986 in new state funding to offset a decrease in the federal financial participation rate for Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids. This amount is necessary to maintain existing levels of funding for these programs.

$7,739,933 in tobacco funds to expand the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs to cover pregnant women and children in families with incomes up to 235% of the federal poverty level.
$163,818 in state funding to implement a family planning waiver for post-partum women with incomes from 133% to 235% of the federal poverty level. Women would receive family planning services for one year after delivery.
$4,651,943 in state funding to cover an additional year of transitional Medicaid for persons losing TANF and Medicaid eligibility due to increases in their incomes.
$2,143,025 in tobacco funds to serve an additional 100 persons on the waiting list for Independent Care and Traumatic Brain Injury waiver services.
$10,543,915 in state funds to reimburse physicians based on 90% of the 1999 Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS). Physicians are currently reimbursed at 90% of the 1997 scale.
$8,387,118 in state funds to provide inflationary increases to hospitals for Medicaid inpatient services and $9,122,730 in state funds to provide inflationary increases to nursing homes.
$10,951,890 in state funds to increase reimbursement to dentists. Funding is expected to improve access to dental services for children in the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs.
$3,500,000 in tobacco funds for rural health system development.
$34,000,000 in state funds to offset a projected operating deficit in the state health benefit plan.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Community Health (DCH) began operations on July 1, 1999. The agency was established by an act of the General Assembly that consolidated four agencies involved in the purchasing, planning, and regulation of health care in the state of Georgia. DCH was a response to the growing concern about the fragmentation of healthcare delivery at the state level. Via consolidation, DCH is expected to maximize its health care purchasing power and create administrative efficiency in the state's health care system. The department is also charged with planning for coverage for the estimated 1.3 million citizens that currently do not have health insurance.
The major divisions comprising DCH include the Division of Medical Assistance, the Division of Health Planning, and the Division of Public Employee Health Benefits. Also, parts of DCH are offices targeting specific populations (Office of Women's Health and the Office of Minority Health) and regional health care issues (Office of Primary Care and Office of Rural Health). A nine-member board governs the agency.
There are three Boards administratively attached to the department, including, the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners, which licenses physicians; the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce, which provides financial aid to medical schools and residency training programs; and the State Medical Education Board, which administers medical scholarships and loans to promote medical practice in rural areas.
DIVISION OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE The largest division in the department, the Division
of Medical Assistance administers the Medicaid program, which provides health care for persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or indigent. State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government paying for about 60 percent of health care costs. A broad array of health care services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program, including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services.
The Division of Medical Assistance also administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), which completed its ninth year of operation in 1999. The ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians.
In January 1999, the division launched the PeachCare for Kids program, Georgia's version of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. PeachCare provides medical and dental coverage for children whose parents' income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but who cannot afford private health insurance. Current eligibility allows children in families with incomes between 185% and 200% of the federal poverty level to participate. A modest premium of $7 per month is required for children over the age of five. Families pay no more than $15 per month in premiums if they have more than two children.

DIVISION OF HEALTH PLANNING Formerly, the State Health Planning Agency,
Georgia's health planning program was originally established to contain health care costs by avoiding unnecessary duplication of services, equipment and facilities. The division helps to enforce quality-of-care standards and encourages providers to assume a share of responsibilities for the health care needs of low-income citizens.
The division also administers the Certificate-of-Need (CON) program, which approves the expansion of health care services and facilities. The Health Planning Review Board (administratively attached to the Department of Administrative Services) conducts appeal hearings on CON decisions. Additionally, the division works with the Health Strategies Council to develop policies for health care services.
DIVISION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFITS
The Division of Public Employees Health Benefits administers the State Health Benefit Plan, which provides health insurance coverage to state employees, teachers, retirees and their dependents at an annual cost of approximately $1.3 billion.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
Strategies and Services

The Department of Community

Health was created to take advantage

of economies of scale in purchasing

health care and to coordinate and

improve access to health care. The

department manages over $5 billion

in health benefits expenditures in an

ever-changing

health

care

environment. While assuring health

care coverage for the nearly two

million Georgians covered by

Medicaid and the State Health Benefit

Plan, the department must also reduce

the number of uninsured in the state.

These goals are addressed through

several budget initiatives.

EXPANDING MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY
Medicaid served 1.24 million Georgians in FY 1999 with benefits expenditures totaling almost $3.08 billion, an average of $2,477 per person. The department has three initiatives that address eligibility expansion in the Medicaid program.
First, raising the income limits for Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women and infants from 200 % of the federal poverty level ($33,408 for a family of four) to 235% ($39,254) would allow more than 2,000 additional uninsured pregnant women and infants to be served.
Second, the agency has applied for a family planning waiver to provide family planning services to post-partum women for one year after delivery. The Department can take advantage of 90% federal funding to help offset the cost of this initiative. By helping women plan future pregnancies, birth outcomes are improved and infant mortality declines.
Third, the agency is pursuing the expansion of transitional Medicaid for persons once eligible for traditional Medicaid and TANF coverage's. Although loss of TANF eligibility

typically results from an increase in income, transitional eligibles still have a hard time affording health insurance. Transitional Medicaid currently is available for one year. The Department would like to expand it to two years, the maximum allowable under federal guidelines.
PEACHCARE FOR KIDS PeachCare for Kids has far
exceeded expectations in its first year of operation by enrolling more than 58,000 children. Uninsured children may be eligible if their families' incomes are too high for Medicaid but are at or below 200 % of the federal poverty level. Raising the income limit to 235 % of poverty would cover an additional 11,000 children. Most PeachCare kids come from working families who cannot afford health insurance.
STABILIZING THE STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN
The plan experienced considerable operating losses in FY 1997 and FY 1998 due to higher medical costs and an increase in plan use. By the end of FY 1999, operating losses had reduced the reserve funds below acceptable levels. This year, the plan has a projected operating deficit as well. In response to the current situation and to forecasted operating losses, the department has taken several steps to put the plan on sound [mancial footing. These steps include preparing a new Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option to be offered in July 2000, securing more competitive pricing from hospitals, instituting greater oversight of contractors, and implementing stronger internal fiscal controls.

REDUCING THE WAITING LIST FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES
More than 12,000 people with functional impairments, including mental retardation and severe physical disabilities, are waiting for home or community care. Home and community services, which assist with personal hygiene, meals, daytime activities and respite for family caregivers, are often more effective and less costly than institutional care. For example, in FY 1999, more than 18,000 elderly and disabled people were served in community waiver programs at an average per recipient cost of under $9,000 compared to more than $14,000 for nursing home care.
TOBACCO SETTLEMENT As a participating state in the
master settlement agreement with five cigarette manufacturers, the state of Georgia is slated to receive over $4 billion in payments throughout the next 25 years. Planning for the use of this funding is made more difficult by uncertainty about funding levels, which can change based on the volume of domestic tobacco sales and the participating manufacturers' market share.
Regarding the use of tobacco funds, the Board of Community Health endorses a variety of proposals aimed at improving health care and well being; reducing the toll of tobacco related illness; and maximizing the use of tobacco dollars to leverage additional funding. In addition, the board endorses the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and many community groups that emphasize the importance of community programs, to reduce tobacco use, as well as cessation programs, counter-marketing and surveillance and evaluation.

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 41,250 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 135,600 offenders are on probation, 4,200 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.
As part of its strategic plan, the department has developed the following priorities:
Provide adequate prison system capacity. Provide the highest level of community-based supervision to those probationers who pose the greatest risk. Operate offender programs that reduce risk to staff and public by stressing offender work, discipline, accountability and responsibility for harm done. Support victim's rights regarding notification, restitution and impact of crime. Improve and increase linkages with other agencies. Continue public/private partnerships and outsourcing. Find and implement better methods and technological tools to communicate and share information to manage better. Enhance efforts to recruit, maintain and train highly qualified staff. Ensure effective and efficient operations.
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 (38). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than 1 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 (22). These 3 programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol.
Transitional Centers (6). 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 (17). 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.

Strategies and Services

Adults committed to the

Department of Corrections (DOC)

have more than doubled over the past

10 years.

Georgia's prison

commitments for FY 1998 to FY

2002 are projected to grow at an

average rate of 6% annually.

Georgia's prison population at the end

of FY 2000 is projected to total

44,492 inmates.

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.
Increase private prison capacity form 3,000 to 4,500.
Increase county work camp capacity by over 1,300 beds.
Increase transitional center beds by 600.
Expand two existing state prisons by 384 beds.
The FY 200 I budget recommendation includes partial year operating funds for 625 diversion beds and 700 transition beds. The Governor recommends that the department consider the privatization of these facilities. These facilities should only be privatized if it is cost effective and mission oriented. If these facilities are operated by the state, the Governor recommends that the department look for existing building and facilities to renovate or lease.
The Governor in the FY 2000 Amended Budget recommended $22,605,000 in total funds including $5,105,000 state matching funds to construct 1,043 inmate beds to be operated by the department. These beds would be available in FY 2002 to address the growing prison population. These beds consist of 175 expansion beds at existing diversion centers; the replacement of two 50bed diversion centers with 100-bed facilities; construction of two 192-bed probation detention centers to be

located in Long and Murray Counties, and two 192-bed parole revocation centers to be located in Jeff Davis and Stephens Counties. In addition to these new facilities, the Governor is recommending the reorganization of the departments current allocated G.O. Bonds to provide for a 200-bed expansion to the Whitworth Parole Center.
In summary, the Governor is recommending an additional 2,568 new beds in the FY 2000 amended and FY 2001 budgets. These beds consist of 900 diversion center beds, 384 detention center beds, 584 parole revocation beds and 700 transition beds. This plan will provide a less expensive bed for the low-end offender; while at the same time provide additional hard cells for the violent offender. This plan will

increase the bed capacity on the front end and the back end in order to meet the growing commitments to the correctional system
In addition to recommending an additional 2,368 new beds, 6,104 beds are either already opened or are in the process of opening. These are beds authorized by the Governor in the 1999 legislative session. These include bed expansions at the following state prisons: Smith (192beds), Washington (I 92-beds), Augusta Medical (384-beds), Macon (384-beds), Coastal (384-beds), and Walker (I 92-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 FY 2000, a total of 576

detention beds will open in Houston, Paulding and Terrell counties
The Department of Corrections will have available 47,239, inmate beds by the end of FY 2001 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 confmement 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 pick-up in excess of 15 days after the department has received a sentencing package. At the beginning of FY 1999, Georgia's jail backlog for individuals sentenced to state prison

stood at 3,309. By the end of FY 1999, it had fallen to 939.
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.

During September of 1999, the Georgia Jail Summary reported the number of individuals in county jails at 27,751. The number consisted of 17,644 awaiting trial, 3,873 county inmates, 3,473 other inmates and 3,611 sentenced to state prisons or parole / probation issues. Of the 3,611 state inmates, 607 accounted for inmates on the departments jail backlog count. The remaining 3,004 accounted for parole and probation issues.
During FY 2000 and FY 2001 the department will be opening the authorized bed expansions, which should sustain or reduce the current level (700) of inmates in county jails sentenced to DOC.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and SeITices

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 21 Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing over 15,000 hours of instruction to inmates.
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.

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.
AUTHORITY Title 38, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

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 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 is comprised of 72 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 $643,000 in FY 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.

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.

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. The Governor has recommended $5,000 for State Defense Force operations in FY 2001.
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 operatio'1al 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.
FACILITY ASSESSMENT From July 1, 1999 to October 1, 1999, the department conducted a thorough assessment of over 950 buildings at 81 locations, including the 72 stateowned armories. The assessment found that the needs of the various facilities fall into 3 categories: repairs and renovations; plan, design and construction; and disposition of existing property. The Governor has recommended $643,000 in the FY

2000 Amended Budget for roof

replacements on 19 armories. The

Governor has also recommended

$3,000,000 in bonds to complete a

wide range of significant

maintenance, repair and infrastructure

upgrades to make the armories safe,

secure, code compliant and bring

them to standard to adequately

support unit operations. As facilities

age and requirements change, new

construction and the disposition of

existing property is ineluctable. In

the last 20 years only 3 new armories

have been built; however, there are 6

design projects in progress that will

meet the needs oftoday's modernized

National Guard. Once the new

facilities are completed, the old ones

will need to be reallocated or

disposed of.

Though these

transactions shall be complex, the

benefits gained in terms of

relinquishing responsibilities and

expenses shall be well worth the

effort.

YOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM
The Youth Challenge Program, which is operated by the Georgia National Guard, a division of the Department of Defense, provides atrisk 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

159

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - Strategies And Services

basic life skills such as: establishing

and maintaining [mancial 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 52,260 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

exploring opportunities.

With

continued guidance and support from

mentors, student's progress is

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

$1,525,103 in state funds in FY 2001

to provide for operating expenses in

support of this important program.

These recommended state funds will

be matched with federal matching

funds of $2.8 million.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

EDUCATION REFORM In June, 1999, Governor Barnes
appointed the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission (GERSC) and gave it four areas ofresponsibility: to make funding changes that would focus state dollars on instruction; to provide seamless access to all levels of public education to any citizen; to improve the climate of the public schools and the health and safety of their students; and to develop a comprehensive accountability system.
GERSC has worked diligently through the summer and fall to produce a consensus among its 64 members on a wide array of initiatives that Governor Barnes will introduce to the 2000 session ofthe General Assembly.
Three major themes have emerged from the Commission's work relating to students in grades K-12. One is to provide greater fmancial equity for all students. Since the passage ofQBE in 1985, the gap in resources between the wealthy and the less wealthy school systems in Georgia has widened. As a result, the ability of the less wealthy systems to provide the kind of educational opportunities their students deserve has been strained. Governor Barnes will present a variety of strategies to address this issue, from providing more resources in the funding formula to changing the way Georgia's equalization program works so that more state funds go to less wealthy systems.
A second theme has been to pay more attention to students at risk of school failure. Georgia's drop-out rate remains one of the highest in the nation. Georgians' rate ofparticipation in college prep courses and in postsecondary education opportunities is getting better, but is not rising fast enough. The emphasis in the Commission that the Governor will take to the General Assembly is to focus resources on the early grades and on personnel who can catch students

with problems before they get too far

behind to have a reasonable chance to

catch up.

Governor Barnes' proposals will

have innovative ways of addressing

these persistent problems of fmancial

equity and at-risk students. What is

new to the state - and will drastically

improve the success rate of his other

initiatives

is the Governor's

accountability package. GERSC and

the Governor have developed a wide-

ranging and comprehensive package of

proposals, including development of a

student information and financial

reporting system, a comprehensive

student testing program that monitors

student progress on the Quality Core

Curriculum while it benchmarks

Georgia students both nationally and

internationally, a support system for

schools that do not meet standards, and

rewards for systems that do an

outstanding job of educating their

students. For the first time, data will be

available that lets policy makers and

the public know how well their schools

are performing.

The Governor's accountability

proposals also include the creation of

an Office of Educational

Accountability (OEA) to develop the

accountability system, gather and

analyze the data needed to determine

student and school progress, and to

develop a system for the colleges and

technical institutes. The OEA will be

an independent agency to avoid any

suggestion of influence by any

educational entity or interest group,

and it will report to the Governor and

the people of Georgia.

What will emerge from the

GERSC recommendations is a different

concept of education in Georgia.

Technology will be employed much

more intensely to make education at

every level much more widely

available to every Georgian.

Traditional boundaries between the

sectors of education - K-12, higher

education, and technical institutes will blur or disappear altogether. High school students will be more able to take courses that are normally taught in technical institutes and colleges while still in high school. Traditional educational structures that have made it so difficult for non-traditional students to succeed will share responsibility for education with a much more fluid delivery system. All Georgians regardless ofcurrent educational status - will have available the educational opportunity they need to improve the quality of life for them and their families.
A much more detailed description of the results of the work of the Governor and GERSC will be available from the Governor's Office in January.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT In Georgia, as well as nationwide,
the last 15 years have seen a focus on improving the nation's public schools and improving 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. In fact, the United States is even beginning to fall behind in areas where we once held supremacy. 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. Compared to the rest of the nation, 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

183

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

kindergarten through high school. The

Department of Education's testing

schedule includes both norm-

referenced and criterion-referenced

components to determine educational

effectiveness. Nationally norm-

referenced tests provide students,

teachers, and parents with grade

equivalencies and percentile ranks

whereas criterion-referenced- tests

yield results about learning and

mastery of Georgia's Quality Core'

Curriculum (QCC).

The Iowa Test of Basic Skills

(ITBS) is one of the assessment tools

Georgia educators use. The ITBS is a

battery ofgeneral achievement tests for

grades 3 through 8. The tests are

intended to measure how well a student

has learned the basic knowledge and

skills 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.

For

example, a 3rd

grade national

percentile ranking

of 61 in Reading

reveals that 61 %

of Georgia's 3rd

graders are doing

as well or better

than the 3rd

graders in the

national norm

group.

In the past 4

years, scores in reading and

mathematics have seen a steady gain or

have stabilized across all 3rd 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

optimistic hope that this upward trend

will continue and be reflected in future

national percentile rankings. Further,

continued lottery funding for Georgia's

Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten 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. Thus, Governor Barnes recommends maintaining the Reading First Program at its current funding level of $13,630,185, providing fundamental reading training and instruction to over 600 schools. In addition he recommends maintaining the current funding level of $14,000,000 for the Reading Challenge Program, providing quality after school care and reading instruction to more than 9,500 students at 241 sites. To ensure the quality and effectiveness of these reading initiatives, Governor Barnes recommends the continuation
of funding to evaluate Reading First and Reading Challenge.
Often touted as a crucial indicator of student achievement, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) continues to be a yardstick held by institutions ofhigher learning to measure prospective students. Usually taken by rising high school seniors, SAT scores have increased steadily in Georgia since 1994. Georgia has implemented several state funded initiatives to encourage

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 recognizes the importance of giving Georgia's students the opportunities to take more rigorous academic coursework. He recommends continued funding for Georgia's high school students to take more challenging courses through the Advanced Placement (AP) program and attend institutions of higher learning while 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 $1.5 million in lottery funds for over 5,000 students to participate in PSO. These initiatives will help Georgia students reach the Department of Education's
goal of the average SAT score of "1000 by 2001."
In addition to tests that compare Georgia students to others in the nation, it is vital to have a competency test that measures the students' knowledge of the state's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). QCC standards specify the content for kindergarten through the 12th 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,

184

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

Governor Barnes recommends continued funding to complete the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT). Currently in the fmal development phase, the CRCT will test Georgia students on their required core courses and then be used for diagnostic, remedial, and enrichment purposes. Governor Barnes is supporting this accountability initiative in education through recommendations in the Amended FY 00 budget. His recommendations also include funding for a web-based delivery system, designed to enable teachers and students to access test questions using a desktop computer for diagnostic and enrichment purposes (See the GERSC recommendations for specific details).
KIPP ACADEMY Governor Barnes supports out-of-
the-box thinking to raise teaching and learning expectations in schools serving at-risk students. He believes the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) is an excellent example of outof-the-box thinking with proven success ofraising the expectations and performance of at-risk students.
KIPP Academy is an academically rigorous college preparatory public school for at-risk students in grades 5 through 9. KIPP engages students and their families in the program by requiring students and parents to sign a written contract that specifies attendance from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 4 hours each Saturday, and 1 month each summer. The contrac! requires parents to reinforcestudents'commitment,ensure attendance, and help with 2 to 3 hours of homework each evening.
In 1999, KIPP led the state of Texas in the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) results. 100% of students passed the math and science sections. In reading, 98% of students passed, in writing 97%, and in social studies 98%. Unlike many public schools in Texas, KIPP did not exempt any Spanish-speaking students from the taking the test. In 1999,300

students in grades 5 through 9 were enrolled in the KIPP Academy. Ninety-six percent were Hispanic or African-American and 91% were eligible for the federal free/reduced lunch program. Another compelling factor about KIPP is that the students spend 67% more time in school than other Texas public school students.
Governor Barnes recommends $1,000,000 to fund a KIPP Academy in Georgia to encourage innovative practices to raise expectations and performance for at-risk students.
NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION
After more than a decade of educational reform there is growing consensus among teachers, school administrators, and reformers that professional development and teacher training lie at the heart of efforts to improve teaching and learning in K-12 public schools. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards created the National Board Certification process to establish high and rigorous standards for what teachers should know and be able to do and to develop a national, voluntary system to assess and certify teachers who meet these standards. Teachers who participate in the National Board Certification process help to reshape the public's perception of teaching, create more professional and rewarding relationships among teachers, and advance the knowledge base of teaching, all directly related to improving student learning.
The National Board Certification process consists of two parts. First, during the school year, candidates assemble a portfolio of their teaching, composed of student work, teacher reflections on the students' work and videotapes ofclassroom activities with students. Second, the candidates spend I day during the summer at an assessment center where they are interviewed by master teachers and complete written essay examinations to determine the level of their teaching

skills and mastery of subject matter. The assessment center exercises
are designed to complement the portfolio and are organized around challenging teaching issues. The selfanalysis endemic to the certification process benefits students by requiring teachers to focus on academic goals and objectives that hold the promise of improving classroom practice. The entire certification process, from developing the portfolio to completing written essays, takes the better part ofa school year. Many teachers have reported spending about 200 hours on the process.
In 1996, the General Assembly and Governor enacted legislation to offer fmancial incentives to teachers who choose to become nationally certified. The legislation required that nationally certified teachers receive a one-time 5% increase in their salary and be reimbursed the certification fee. In his FY 2001 budget, Governor Barnes proposes to double the one-time salary increase to 10%. He hopes to increase the number of nationally certified teachers to 1,000 within next 4 years.
Before November 1999, 27 Georgia educators were National Board Certified. Thirty educators were certified in November 1999.
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 FY 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 1999-2000,after7years of lottery funding, distance learning capability was available to 81.5% ofall classrooms, and 54.2% of classrooms had at least 1 computer connected to

185

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

the internet. 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 or take academic courses not offered at their high school. Teachers can access other

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 teachers to the many educational uses of technology, the Governor is recommending continuing support for Educational Technology Specialist.

teachers' lesson plans to improve instructional practices. Governor Barnes has demonstrated his commitment to using technology to expand learning opportunities by recommending $477,000 to expand the Georgia Virtual High School project and $1,512,500 to expand the Georgia Learning Connections, the web-based curriculum and instructional resource for Georgia educators.
TECHNOLOGY TRAINING INITIATIVES
Georgia's initiative to implement technology in the classrooms has

specific details). It is paramount that our teachers have the necessary knowledge in the use and application of computers 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 $34,406,875 in FY 2001 lottery funds.

OTHER TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES
In 1994, Georgia began allocating lottery monies to fund a K-12 statewide technology initiative. The program was designed to enhance classroom instruction and enable students to be competitive in the workforce of the twenty-first century. Since 1994, Georgia has been recognized as a national leader in funding the development of a K-12 technology infrastructure and providing training opportunities for educators. Governor Barnes recommends $10,000,000 in Amended FY 00 lottery funds to build on this success by piloting a wireless computer project in up to 10 public elementary and middle schools through out the state. The project will be designed to enable teachers to use technology to improve their students' learning experiences and to facilitate communication between teachers, students, and parents.
FORMULA FUNDING INCREASES
Georgia is one of the fastest growing states in the US, and significant resources have to be expended each year merely to provide funding for the increase in new students who enroll.
For FY 2001, the Governor recommends $57,470,120 to fund enrollment increases of an estimated 18,870 students over the original count in FY 2000.
OTHER K-12 IMPROVEMENTS Governor Barnes is recommending
$11,188,500 in FY 2001 lottery funds to purchase vocational lab and agricultural education equipment in 50 high schools and 31 middle school implementing new programs. 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.

186

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

To encourage excellence in Georgia teachers and reward them for their accomplishments the Governor recommends $2,254,000 in Amended 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 Bames is also recommending $9,699,393 in general state funds to implement an FTE-based funding formula for the 24 Psychoeducational Centers. FY 2001 will be the third year oftransitioning to a new funding formula. Prior to the FTE-based formula, each center received grant funding which did not correlate well to students served or services delivered.

GEORGIA VOLUNTARY PRE-
KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Georgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive prekindergarten program serving 4-year olds and their families of any state in the country. The Georgia Pre-K program continues to be a model for the rest of the country by successfully combining services from public and private providers of early childhood education in order to provide a high quality pre-kindergarten experience 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. In addition,

another study shows that teachers and parents continue to fmd that Pre-K students are entering kindergarten "ready to learn". Kindergarten teachers found that Pre-K students were better prepared than those who had not enrolled in Pre-K programs in 7 of 8 skill levels, including pre-reading and pre-math skills.
The Governor is maintaining the commitment to the Pre-Kindergarten Program through his recommendation of $232,625,928 in lottery funding to serve 63,500 4-year-olds and their families in FY 2001. This represents an increase of 1,000 students over the 62,500 4-year-olds served in FY 2000.

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 9 plans/programs. Included are the group term 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 6 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 term 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 6 plans,
including all 3 categories of active, retired and inactive was 291,603 as of June 30, 1999. An additional139,143 were members of the Defined Contribution Plan as of June 30, 1999. The ERS estimates that
214

approximately two-thirds of its annual operating budget is required to provide accounting for all active and inactive members, including the processing of refunds and monthly benefit payments due to terminated and retired members (See table.).
INVESTMENTS The ERS has its own "in-house"
Investment Services Division, which handles the day-to-day investment transactions with advice from 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 toa 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 percent 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 of the 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 8,000 forest fires that bum 32,000 acres each year. 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 less than 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 frre equipment. The commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local frre 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 53 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.
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.

percent. This 30 percent increase will result in an average per acre value of $3,195 at the 35-year rotation.
Through the Flint River and Walker nurseries, the commission offers approximately 50 million tree seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners in an effort to encourage reforestation. These seedlings reforest approximately 71,000 acres each year, helping to reduce the gap between acres harvested and regenerated, while at the same time providing wildlife food and habitat, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing urban and rural aesthetics.
FOREST MANAGEMENT Through the forest management

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 813 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 information databases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Uniform Crime Reporting system. It performs audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies.
AUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

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 processed cases for FY 1998 and FY 1999 were nearly 102,000 each year. The number of processed cases are only alarming when you look at the unprocessed cases at the end of these two fiscal years. In FY 1998 there were 22,115 unprocessed cases, and in FY 1999 the unprocessed cases had increased to 31,690. The most alarming increase was seen between FY 97 and FY 98, where the un-worked cases increased from 8,018 to 22,115. The alarmingly high backlog of services has shown a decrease in the labs ability to process or turnaround cases with in the 30-day time frame. With an increase in number of cases and the technicality of today's cases, the bureau watched its 30 day turnaround time drop form a 59% compliance rate in FY 1998 to a 36% compliance rate in FY1999.
To address the large caseload increase, new and expanded facilities must be built, scientific positions must be added for the crime laboratories statewide and additional equipment must be provided. Governor Barnes is committed to providing the Division of Forensic Sciences with the resources needed to meet the demands of the criminal justice agencies and to respond to these needs within 30-days of request.

NEW CRIME LABORATORIES

AND MORGUES

In the FY 2000 Amended

Budget,

Governor

Barnes

recommended $4 million in G.O.

Bonds to construct a new morgue to

replace the current 19-year-old

facility in Macon. In addition to the

morgue in Macon the Governor is

recommending the construction of a

new morgue and toxicology lab

adjacent to the Savannah facility.

This recommendation is a follow-up

to Governor Barnes extensive plan,

initiated in the 1999 legislative

session, to give the bureau the

resources they need to process the

ever-increasing caseload.

In the FY 1999 Amended

Budget,

Governor

Barnes

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. The new morgue facility

with 11,306 square feet will support

the autopsy function and necessary

medical examiner function.

Additionally, G.O. Bonds of $4

million are recommended to replace

the current laboratory and to add a

morgue facility in Augusta.

NEW SCIENTIFIC POSITIONS FOR LABORATORIES STATEWIDE
The FY 2000 Amended Budget reflects Governor Barnes dedication to the remedy of the bureaus laboratory caseload problems. The FY 2000 Amended Budget includes funding that will allow the bureau to hire the 83 lab positions at the beginning ofFY 2000. Initially, these positions were partially funded in the FY 2000 budget. This will allow the bureau to address the caseload problem as soon as possible.

235

These positions will increase the scientific staff for the toxicology, drug identification and blood alcohol functions of the laboratory, and to reduce the number of cases performed by scientists. The initial funding for these positions and related expenses accounted for $3.7 million. Along with this increase, scientific equipment at a cost of $2.6 million was also funded. These additional state funds totaling $6.3 million (54% increase over the FY 1999 budget allowed 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 by law the individual permitted to possess a handgun.
In FY 1999, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 172,149 transactions and 11,540 were denied. This represented an increase of 89,409 transactions or over a 100% increase from the previous fiscal year.

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services

In FY 1998 the center processed 82,740.
The above stated increase was a result of expanding the scope of the ftrearms program to not only include handguns but also long guns (rifles). In the FY 2001 Budget Governor Barnes is recommending and additional $364,000 for the operation of the instant background check.
AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS)
AFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fmgerprints with speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fmgerprint cards and reports of fmal disposition create and update computerized criminal history records, which are used by all criminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. These records are also used to respond to inquiries for applicant background checks. Latent prints submitted from law enforcement agencies are processed for the purpose of providing investigative leads or positive identiftcation of a suspect.
Remote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBl's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fmgerprint images and making fmgerprint identiftcations remotely.
The GBI receives fmgerprint images electronically from law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the GBl'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 totaI2,075,00I. Tenprint fIles store 2 thumbs for each offender and total 1,174,836 people. Latent cognizant fIles total 900,165 people and represents 10 fmgers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,425 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the

above databases. These prints are stored for future reference
Automation of fmal disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter fmal 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 fmal dispositions from both types of automated courts accounted for approximately 20% of the judicial data to GCIC.
CRIMINAL mSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CnS) NETWORK
The CJIS 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 6,544 terminals on the cns Network. During FY 1999, the system processed 146,282,238 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 offtcials, and media representatives. Interested citizens also could obtain the same statistics through the publication of "Georgia UCR Summary Report".
INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS In the FY 2000 Amended
Budget, Governor Barnes is recommending $680,000 in new G.O. Bonds to construct a new Region 6 Investigative offtce in Milledgeville. The facility will replace the leased facility with a state owned facility, which includes a crime scene garage lab.
236

To assist the Bureau in its ftght against drugs, the Governor is providing funding to allow the Bureau to ftll 7 vacant special agent positions and provide operating cost to assist the South Georgia Regional Drug Enforcement Offtces.
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 ftles 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 afftliated 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 FY 1999.
MULTI-mRISDlCTIONAL DRUG TASKFORCE
GBI provides an assistant special agent-in-charge (ASAC) to supervise 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 16 multijurisdictional task forces that work street to mid-level and in some

GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services

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 FY 1999, the force made 4,368

arrests; seized $54,631,643 in drugs

and $860,929 in property; and made

$677,859 in forfeitures.

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. The Health Care Fraud Unit is a joint venture between the GBI, the Attorney General's Office and the Department of Audits. Since its inception in March 1995 the

division has opened 438 cases. Currently they have 59 active cases. Currently, this unit recovered $27.9 million with another $1.7 million to be paid to the Georgia Medicaid Program.

There are four (4) major type of crimes worked:
--Narcotics - 122,805 hours --Crimes Against Persons - 143,433 hours --Crimes Against Property 64,134 hours --Other/MISC - 45,935 hours --Total Investigative Hours for FY 99 - 376,307

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

remarkable. The Lemon Law

caseload continues to grow due to the

increased volume of motor vehicles

sold.

Over 3,700 Georgians

contacted the Office of Consumer

Affairs (OCA) in FY 1999 for

assistance. Since the inception of the

program in July 1990, over 25,000

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 recognizing the fraudulent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available

Resolutions in Lemon Law Arbitrated Cases in FY 1999

15% Arbitration Request
Withdrawn by Consumer

20% Arbitration Decision in
Favor of Manufacturer
Lemon Law cases have een mltlate by Georgians. The pie chart demonstrates the resolutions of the Lemon Law cases submitted to arbitration in FY 1999. Over 450 consumers received either a

means, inc u mg specIa lzed investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions.
The elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for
258

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.
INSURANCE ADVOCATE July 1, 1999 saw the start of the
long-awaited Office of Consumer's Insurance Advocate. This office will continue to assist the public with insurance claims and complaints in FY 2001 and beyond.
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 to assure the citizens of Georgia that the education profession is accountable for acts of unprofessional conduct.
Georgia's educators need to be adequately prepared to enter the classroom upon graduation. The funds invested in maintaining quality teachers throughout the state will

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services

pave the way for a stronger and revitalized educational system as Georgia enters the new millennium. With this in mind, Governor Barnes is recommending $1,500,000 for the Georgia Professional Standards Commission to develop and pilot a new Master Teaching Force. This program will include funding for 33 master teachers along with training and materials. Also, the Governor is recommending $795,843 to develop and disseminate distance learning courses in physics and chemistry while continuing to provide for stipends to teachers trained in the Teacher Support Specialist Program. These are all steps to continue in Governor Barnes' efforts to enhance and bolster the state's school systems and prepare Georgia's children to excel into the twenty- ftrst century.
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 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 $5.9 million, CYCC will

continue to administer the 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.

The Children and Youth

Coordinating Council (CYCC) will

Continue to enforce the Governor's

tough stance against underage

drinking through the Governor's

Alcohol Policy and Enforcement

Division.

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.

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,

259

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 $34.5 million was made available in FY 1999 from the U.S. Department of Justice for drug enforcement projects and other improvements to the criminal justice system including construction of prisons.

CRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE

PROGRAM AND CRIME VICTIMS

COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Federal funding of $505,000 was

made available in 1999 to enhance

direct services to victims, and to

encourage states to develop and

improve comprehensive services to

all crime victims. Correspondingly,

the Crime Victims Compensation

Program provides monies to victims

of crime usually for lost wages and

for medical/funeral expenses. The

Council received 1,900 claims in FY

1999. Crime victims were awarded

$3.8 million during FY 1999. 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 helps to ensure that such

offenders serve a substantial portion

of their prison sentences.

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, fmancial 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.
EARLY INTERVENTION AND FIRST PLACEMENTIBEST PLACEMENT
Families investigated by Child Protective Services (CPS) are often troubled. Child abuse and neglect often stem from substance abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and poverty.
The priority placed on CrISIS intervention has reduced the attention to preventive and early intervention services to families. Family patterns

of child maltreatment and substance

abuse are passed on from one generation to the next in families

known to CPS workers. Increased

attention to the healthy development

offamilies is needed to stop the cycle.

An intensive approach of prevention

as well as continued intervention

beyond the crisis is necessary to bring

about better parenting and successful

families.

DHR's proposed early

intervention program is designed to

prevent child abuse and to promote

successful family functioning before

abuse occurs. It targets first time

parents of newborns in economically

disadvantaged counties, whose family

profile indicates a high risk for child

maltreatment.

The department's early

intervention initiative also provides

enhanced services to families in

which both child abuse and parental

substance abuse have been

substantiated. Prevention of repeat

child maltreatment, prevention of

foster care and prevention of re-entry

into foster care are the goals.

Early intervention focuses on

purchasing community case

management services which are

intensive, long term, and based on the

family's level of need. Case

managers will maintain weekly in-

home contact with these troubled

families. They will be knowledgeable

Children entering foster care also have complex needs. DHR's First

281

Placement/Best Placement initiative

has

successfully

utilized

comprehensive assessments, by

medical, psychiatric and educational

professionals, to identify the services

and care children need if they are to

leave the system better than they were

when they entered. The assessments

have provided concrete information

on which to base permanency

decisions so that children no longer

languish in foster care.

The next phase of First

Placement/Best Placement is the

development of levels of services and

care which children must have to

overcome abuse and neglect. The

ability to purchase placements and

services for children whose needs are

beyond the expertise found in basic

family foster homes is essential.

They can lead to successful outcomes

for these children and for their

children.

Five levels of foster care

placement resources recommended by

the assessment team have been

developed:

Basic - (DFCS Family Foster

Care and Institutionally

Supervised Family Foster Care);

Level A

for moderate

emotional and/or behavioral

problems;

Level B - for more severe

emotionallbehavioral problems;

Medically Fragile - for moderate

to severe medical needs; and

MATCH

for destructive

behavior towards self and others

requiring therapeutic foster care

or residential treatment.

The availability of specialized levels of care for children will free existing DFCS staff to provide comprehensive services to children who can be served in basic family foster care. Higher levels of care for troubled and medically fragile children should stabilize placements and reduce stress in basic family foster homes.

DFCS has long recognized the need to provide intensive intervention services for children and families which target individual levels of need before and after crisis situations develop. Reforms to the existing system are built on the philosophy that DFCS alone cannot serve the many needs of today's families. Partnerships with community service providers and professionals will maky services to children and families more timely, appropriate and therapeutic.
ELDERLY SERVICES The growth of Georgia's
population age 65 and older is projected to increase rapidly over the next thirty years. The Census Bureau projects that Georgia's elderly population will more than double from 700,000 in 1995 to 1.7 million in 2025. People are also living longer. The average Georgian reaching 65 can expect to live another 15 to 20 years. The Census Bureau projects that three to five years will be added to live expectancy over the next fifty years.
Many older Georgians will need help with the activities of daily living. Seven percent of persons age 65 to 69 need help with basic activities; 12

percent of individuals 70 to 75 years

old need this kind of help, and over

40 percent of our oldest citizens need

help to stay in their homes.

The Division of Aging Services

administers many programs which

offer independence and dignity for

seniors, especially for the most

vulnerable. These community-based

programs are important in

accomplishing the mission of the

Department, which is to assist

Georgians in achieving healthy,

independent, and self-sufficient lives.

Community-based

services

emphasize prevention and early

intervention. They help people

remain in their homes and

communities and to avoid

institutional care. Through contracts,

services are delivered to individuals

in their home environments and in

community facilities such as senior

centers. Community Care Services

offer in-home health services for

persons who might otherwise have to

reside in a nursing home.

Aging Services prevented the

need for nursing home placement for

over 14,000 Georgians in FY 1998.

This amounted to a savings of

$10,000 per person. The average cost

of service is $5,000 per year.

282

Average yearly nursing home costs are $15,000.
Eleven services are provided:
Senior Center Programs - group meals, education, training, health promotion, and recreation services;
Home Delivered Meals; Transportation Services; Homemaker/Chore Services; Adult Day Care; Case Management and
Assessment Services;
Alzheimer's Programs for both care givers and persons with Alzheimer's Disease or other dementias;
Long Term Care Ombudsman Program;
Elderly Legal Assistance; Health Insurance Counseling,
Assistance, and Referral; and
Senior Community Service Employment Program;

In 1981, the Georgia legislature

passed the "Disabled Adults

Protection Act," which mandates the

Division of Family and Children

Services investigate referrals of abuse

or neglect involving disabled and

elderly adults and provide

intervention.

Adult Protective

Services (APS) are provided in each

of the 159 counties in Georgia. In

1998, APS workers investigated

approximately 1,000 referrals a

month. Statewide, APS case

managers maintained 5,436 cases a

month on average, and provided

services that allowed vulnerable

adults to remain safely in their homes.

SMOKING CESSATION AND PREVENTION
Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death and disease in our society. Given the ongoing medical and other societal costs related to smoking, the Department is committed to efforts that will prevent citizens from smoking and helping those that smoke to stop. In 1998, the state of Georgia and 45 other states reached an agreement with five major tobacco

companies for compensation related to the cost of smoking and tobaccorelated illnesses. Georgia's share over the next 25 years is expected to exceed $4 billion. The Department anticipates that some of the monies received from the tobacco settlement will be used to fund comprehensive smoking prevention and cessations programs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that states establish tobacco control programs that are comprehensive, sustainable, and accountable. Based on analyses of existing state tobacco control programs, the CDC has identified nine elements that are essential in a comprehensive program:
Community programs to reduce tobacco use;
Chronic disease programs to reduce the burden of tobaccorelated diseases;
School Programs;
Enforcement; Statewide Program; Counter-Marketing;
Cessation Programs; Surveillance and Evaluation; and Administration and Management.

The CDC emphasizes that all

elements

working

together

accomplish more than one element

alone. Given funding availability, the Department supports the CDC's "Best Practices." Funding would be used to implement all elements, with emphasis on Counter-Marketing, Community and School Programs.
MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL RETARDATION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICE SYSTEM REFORM
In 1992, Georgia's General Assembly created a State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse (MHMRSA) Service Delivery to study gaps and shortcomings in the 150-year old system and to make recommendations for improvements. The commission brought together consumers, families, advocates, providers, public, and community leaders throughout the state.
The group focused on the issues of accessibility, accountability, equity, service coordination, consumer empowerment and privatization. The reform legislation, House Bill 100, passed the General Assembly and was signed into law by the Governor in April 1993.
The law created the framework for a new system and called for more local control and strong input from consumers and families. The key to the new system is the 13 governing boards that plan and coordinate

283

MHMRSA services on a regional

basis. The regional boards act as the

front door to the service system and

are the single point of accountability.

They assess the needs in their regions

and allocate all public funds, both

community and hospital, based on

regional plans to meet those needs.

Beginning July 1, 1999, a

number of changes will take place in

community outpatient MHMRSA

services. These changes are intended

to make the system more accountable,

flexible and work better for the

consumers and their families. At the

same time, the changes must make the

system more efficient due to cuts in

Medicaid funds for community

outpatient MHMRSA clinic services

funding. The changes include:

A wide array of day services will

become available. Day treatment

programs will become more

specialized and offer intensive

treatment, structure and

supervision for those who truly

need it. Other day services,

focusing more on rehabilitation

and peer support, will be

available for people who are

ready for more independence.

Services will be monitored by an independent agency to determine

if people are getting the quality

of services they need from

providers. Thus, when someone

needs a change, he or she will be

more easily linked to other

appropriate services.

More variety of services, easily

tailored to individual needs, will

be available.

Standard rates for reimbursing

providers have been set. In the

past, rates for the same service

have varied across the state.

An independent agency will

ensure the services are of a high

quality and are having the desired

outcomes.

Outcomes will

emphasize rehabilitation and

recovery. The agency will report

any identified problems to the

regions and assist the regions in

resolving them.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services

Children and teens who need mental health services and their families will have more choice of providers beyond the public community service boards (CSBs).
For FY 2001, adults with mental illness and people with substance abuse problems will also have more choice in service providers.
In order to manage the reduction of Medicaid funds, ensure continued service and honor the principles of the reform, the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Community Health are redesigning the community service system. The addition of service providers to the system increases competition and encourages providers to use funds. Adding service providers to the system increases competition and encourages providers to use funds wisely. Expanding the variety of available services makes it possible for people to move to less intense and less costly services as they become more independent.
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.
In March 1998, a statewide group of prevention administrators, advocates, and practitioners met as the Oversight Committee for a State Prevention Plan. Facilitated by a consultant provided by the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, the group developed a comprehensive five-year plan for substance abuse prevention services. The Department of Human Resources, Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse (MHMRSA) provides these services. Maintaining

both the spirit of House Bill 100

reform and of prevention, this plan

calls for the involvement of the

regions, providers, advocates,

consumers and citizens.

The prevention plan provides a

prevention framework and support

system for the next five years that

allows for local planning and

decision-making about prevention

services. The purpose of the five-year

plan is to develop a comprehensive,

community-based prevention service

system for Georgia. It will assist in

prevention

planning

and

development, identify gaps in the

prevention service system, and set

long-term goals and objectives.

An important focus is the

existence of limited resources in areas

of greatest need. The plan calls for an

effective and viable needs assessment

for preventive services. As a first

step, a proposal has been developed

for a comprehensive needs

assessment. In conjunction with this,

a collaborative pilot is proposed with

the Family Connection, the Division

of Public Health and MHMRSA as

primary partners. The pilot will

address substance abuse and violence

prevention targeted at youth in grades

K through 12. The objective will be a

strategic plan establishing baseline

data that 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

(SABG), which mandates 20

percent 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 services

provided to DHR's consumers.

SCHOOL NURSES

Over time, the school has

assumed an expanded role in the

community, and for 7 to 10 hours a

day, the school is a child's

community, expected to deal with all

facets of that child's life. Problems

come to school; illnesses come to

school; and disabilities come to

school. Because of this, the role of

the school health nurse is expanding

to encompass both new and broader

clinical responsibilities as well as

responsibilities in other facets of a

school's operation.

In light of discussions by the

Governor's Education Reform Study

Commission about school nurses, the

Department has developed a

comprehensive approach to the

provision of a full range of direct

primary,

preventative,

and

population-based health services in a

school setting. This model serves

children, staff, and their families, and

is linked to health care providers and

organizations in the community. The

model is built upon statewide practice

guidelines that set forth uniform

standards and provide nurse protocols

that enable a trained nurse to function

effectively in a school setting.

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 FY 1999, a unified transportation system for DHR clients became available in four regions of the state. In FY 2000, the system was scheduled to operate 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 Developmental Disabilities Council is attached to DHR for administrative purposes. The Council administers a federal grant program to initiate innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.
The Georgia Child Care Council is also attached to DHR for administrative purposes. The Council is responsible for administering a portion of the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant funds awarded to the state. The Council's overall purpose is to make quality child care accessible and affordable for all Georgians.

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.

"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. 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. A director who must, by law, be a medical doctor heads each district office. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment.
In each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay.
AUTHORITY Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated;
and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, up to and including Public Law 105-115.

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 ofthe 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 Griffm.
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. ROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE
The Institute is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation facility that serves people with severe disabilities. Major programs include a 78-bed hospital, a 215-bed vocational rehabilitation unit, a statewide Spinal CordlHead 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.
AUTHORITY U.S. Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended;
Georgia rehabilitation Act. Title 30-2 and Title 49-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated, Public Laws 93-112, 93-516, 94230,95-602,98-221,99-506,100-230 and the Social Security Act, as amended.

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 1, 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 1, are required to participate in a work activity. All services

are provided in keeping with. the goal of reducing dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls when they apply for assistance.
SOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive approximately 80,000
reports of child abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigates reports and assesses the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. Over 19,000 children are in protective custody of the state at any given time.
Children whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, those of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system or who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoptions through the state. 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. Over 260,000 P1lTents were under court order to pay child support in F.Y. 1999 on behalf of over 600,000 children in Georgia. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1999, over $368 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $59.5 million, of which $13.8 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 division is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence and self-sufficiency.
SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The division is responsible for setting policy regarding
the use of all federal and state funds and allocating funds to thirteen regional boards. Regional boards contract for community mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services with county boards of health, community service boards and private organizations based on estimated service needs in a defined population. The types of services for which they contract include: emergency, diagnostic, alcohol and drug treatment, day treatment training, supported employment, residential, counseling, therapy, case management and community educational services.
The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures, 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 seven regional hospitals located in Atlanta,
Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah, and Thomasville, which primarily address psychiatric and substance abuse problems. Patients are also sent to these

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 eight 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. The institutions have an average client load of approximately 2,984.
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. 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. There are also 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 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, 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 client. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-term crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Community staff also screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients discharged from the hospitals.
AUTHORITY Titles 15-11-40, 17-7-13, 7-7-130, 26-5, 31-3, 37-1-20,
and 37-2 through 37-10, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 97-35 as amended, 100-690, 100-203,101-476, and 101-496.

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.

"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. 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. A director who must, by law, be a medical doctor heads each district office. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment.
In each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay.
AUTHORITY Title 31 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated;
and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, up to and including Public Law 105-115.

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 ofthe 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 Griffm.
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. ROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE
The Institute is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation facility that serves people with severe disabilities. Major programs include a 78-bed hospital, a 215-bed vocational rehabilitation unit, a statewide Spinal CordlHead 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 INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM
Strategies and Services

The Department of Industry,

Trade and Tourism (DITT) is

Georgia's lead agency for attracting

new

business

investment,

encouraging the expansion of existing

industry, locating new markets for

Georgia products, attracting tourists

to Georgia, promoting the state as a

location for film and video projects,

and planning and mobilizing state

resources for economic development.

The department offers services

through 4 major programmatic

divisions - Economic Development,

International Trade, Tourism, and

Strategic Planning and Research.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND

REGIONAL CERTIFICATION

Governor Barnes' FY 2001

Budget reflects his commitment to

assist rural Georgia with its

development needs. The Governor

has dedicated one-third of the

revenues from the tobacco settlement

to economic development efforts

benefiting rural Georgia. The

Governor's One Georgia Fund, to be

housed in the Georgia Housing and

Finance Authority (GHFA), will

utilize these proceeds to provide a

combination of grants and loans to

Georgia communities to assist them in

their economic and community

development efforts. The Governor's

FY 2001 Budget includes

$63,082,213 for the fund.

The One Georgia Fund will

provide assistance to rural

communities in two broad areas:

business

development

and

infrastructure projects. The amount

and form of state assistance to a

community will depend on the nature

of the project and the wealth of the

community.

Recognizing the importance of

recruiting companies to provide jobs

in rural Georgia, Governor Barnes has

initially provided $10 million in

tobacco funds within the One Georgia

Fund to facilitate the location and

expansion of fIrms in rural Georgia.

Financial assistance will be provided

only in instances where a project

would not come about in the absence

of the assistance. In addition, to be

eligible for funding, a project's

benefits must exceed its costs.

The infrastructure and capacity

building portion of the fund is

centered on the principle that

Georgia's communities must be

empowered to help themselves.

While providing funds to assist

communities with economic

development, the fund also requires

that communities be actively helping

themselves in order to be eligible for

infrastructure and capacity-building

assistance.

The Department of Industry,

Trade, and Tourism has developed a

Regional Certification Program, a

set of straight-forward, objective

criteria that will serve as a guideline

for communities in measuring their

preparedness for economic

development. In order to be eligible

for infrastructure and capacity-

building funding, the region in which

a community is located must be

certified.

DITT's regional

representatives will be available to

assist communities in achieving

certification.

This fund will make available

fmancial assistance for hard and soft

projects that enhance the capacity of a

community

for

tlconomic

development. Projects to implement

regional technology strategies and

regional economic development

strategies of the Regional Advisory

Councils (RAC's) will be eligible for

funding. In addition, community-

specific infrastructure and capacity-

building assistance will be available.

Funding for projects in Georgia's

rural areas will be provided from

tobacco settlement proceeds housed

in GHFA. Funding for business

development and infrastructure

projects in urban will be provided

existing State funds (REBA and

RAP). In addition, the Governor's

FY 2001 Budget includes $1 million

to create a Technology Action Fund

in the Department of Industry, Trade,

and Tourism. This new fund will be

used to assist urban communities in implementing technology projects.
TOURISM RECRUITMENT In FY 1999, the Tourism
Division released the results of the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The study's fmdings 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.
One key recommendation of the study has become a central part of Governor Barnes' FY 2001 recommendation for the department. The study recommended increased funding for tourism advertising in order to attract additional visitors to the state. Towards this end, the Governor's FY 2001 budget recommendation includes $3,000,000 in additional tourism marketing funds earmarked for advertising. Of this $3 million, $400,000 is designated for DIIT to assist with the marketing of the Georgia Sports and Music Halls of Fame.
Another key piece of Governor Barnes' FY 2001 tourism initiative is tourism product development The recommended FY 2000 amended budget includes $23,009,600 in state funds for tourism infrastructure projects in Savannah, Augusta, Jekyll Island and Bainbridge. These projects will leverage over $70 million in other funds.
In Savannah, the state will match over $14 million in local and other funds to assist with a variety of projects in the downtown area, including trolley rehabilitation, visitor center improvements, and corridor revitalization. In Augusta, the state will contribute $5 million more to the construction of the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, $3 million to the creation of Augusta Commons, a new riverfront

340

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

park, and $2 million for gateway and corridor beautification. The FY 2001 budget also includes $2.5 million for the Jekyll Island Authority to implement a circulation plan within the historic district and to generally defme the boundaries of the district. This state funding will serve as seed money to assist the authority in leveraging over $13 million in private investment over the next five years. Finally, the state will provide a local assistance grant to fund the construction of a visitor center in Bainbridge ($1,554,600) to be owned and operated locally. Additional tourism product development funding will be available through the One Georgia Fund for communities that qualify for the fund.
FILM AND VIDEOTAPE PROJECT RECRUITMENT
The Governor's FY 2001 Budget also includes funds to increase the state's film recruitment efforts. The budget provides $200,000 in additional marketing funding and $55,000 for a new location scout to operate as a project manager for film projects.
In FY 2000, the Governor reinstated the Georgia Film and Videotape Advisory Commission, which had been inactive for a number of years. The commission is a group of 38 professionals from a variety of fields that will advise the film division on matters of marketing, community relations, and private sector incentives.
The department has intensified its film recruitment efforts over the last year. In FY 1999, DITT used existing marketing funds to contract with a marketing representative based out of Los Angeles. This representative promoted the state at film festivals and worked with companies in L.A. and New York to generate film business for Georgia. As a result of the department's intensified efforts, this year alone the state received its second and third DreamWorks projects. The department is also working to identify service expansion

opportunities in the recorded music industry.

INTERNATIONAL

TRADE

PROMOTION

Governor Barnes' FY 2001

budget recommendation includes

funding for two new initiatives to

promote international trade.

$193,000 is provided to launch the

Latin American Gateway Initiative.

This funding will add a new trade

contract for Argentina, Georgia's

fastest growing export market. The

initiative will take advantage of the

growing linkages between the

economies of Georgia and Latin

America. Funding is also provided

for special marketing initiatives and

trade shows for the region.

In addition, the Governor's FY

2001 budget includes $235,000 for an

e-commerce trade initiative, which

will serve as a pilot project for the

state, will link Georgia businesses

with potential partners in Europe and

Israel. DITT is currently working

with private partners to develop a

model for a website that will serve as

a one-stop shop for international

trade.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
In FY 1999, the Department of Industry, Trade, and Tourism and the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) initiated a new program of regional community and economic development. This program has placed a team of four development specialists- two from each department - in each of 11 regions throughout the state.
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. Each council was charged with coming up with a strategic plan for economic development tailored to the strengths and needs of its region. In FY 1999, each region of Georgia completed a strategic plan for economic development, identifying key opportunities for the region and a
341

manageable number of key action points to work towards realizing these opportunities.
In FY 2000, DITT and DCA are working with the regions to implement these plans. In addition, these plans will be provided to other state agencies as information to be considered in planning regional projects.
The Governor's recommended FY 2001 budget continues the funding of this regional program. In addition, the One Georgia Fund will be available to assist regions in implementing parts of their plans.

THE YAMACRAW MISSION

Governor Barnes' FY 2001

budget continues the state's focus on

high technology industry base

development for Georgia. The

Yamacraw Mission, launched in FY

2000, 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 the design of

electronic components for the

communications and computer

industries.

Governor Barnes' recommends a

total of $12,715,672 in additional

funding for the Yamacraw Mission in

the FY 2000 amended and FY 2001

budgets. This funding is distributed

among the four core areas of the

initiative:

focused research,

educational

capacity-building,

commercialization, and marketing.

The additional $1 million in

funding for focused research will

support both fundamental and applied

work in specialized areas of

semiconductor chip design. This will

allow the continuation of work that is

currently under way in three areas

(embedded software, broadband

access hardware, and system

prototyping) as well as the initiation

of research in new specialized

Yamacraw areas.

The recommended $6,521,240

for educational capacity building

includes funding for new Yamacraw

faculty at the 8 participating schools

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

to teach courses and conduct research in Yamacraw fields. In the program's first year alone, Yamacraw schools have hired 22 new faculty. This new funding will permit the addition of 25 more Yamacraw faculty. Funding is also provided for a new Yamacraw Distance Learning Project, which will allow students at other Yamacraw institutions access to graduate teaching assistants from Georgia Tech.
In addition, the Governor's FY 2001 budget includes funding to attract individuals into Yamacraw fields in Georgia. This will be accomplished from both ends of the workforce spectrum. Over the shortterm, continuing education courses will serve as a tool to generate increased numbers of professionals in Yamacraw fields as well as to attract national attention to Georgia's efforts in this area. Looking towards the longer term, high school students will be exposed to the opportunities in Yamacraw fields in order to generate emollment in college-level Yamacraw programs in years to come.
The FY 2001 recommendation includes $1,570,650 in funding for commercialization. This includes funding for a venture capital director and operating expenses for the fund. In addition, $2.5 million in additional seed funding is recommended in the amended FY 2000 budget, bringing total available seed capital to the $5 million target. The Governor also recommends funding for full operation of the Yamacraw Design Center. The Governor's amended FY 2000 budget also provides $200,000 for the predesign of a Yamacraw building to house design center staff, university and private sector researchers, and start-up companies.
Additional funding is provided for marketing. The Governor's FY 2001 budget includes $94,500 for a technical human resources recruiter to focus on tracking and recruiting existing professionals in Yamacraw fields.
The benefits to be gained from this substantial investment are farreaching. 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 longterm goal is to build a sustainable economic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries.
Along with $34 million in funding for the Georgia Research Alliance, this recommendation will work to solidify Georgia's position among technology centers. According to the American Electronics Association, Georgia leads the U.S. in the rate of high technology job creation.
GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY 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 is the tenth largest container port in the United States and the second largest in the highly competitive South Atlantic market.
The Port of Brunswick continues to enjoy a reputation as an automotive gateway to the Southeastern U.S.. This year, Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) customers have continued to expand automobile processing activity on Colonel's Island. At the same time, bulk grain shipments through the island have increased due to the addition of the automatic ship unloader for bulk grain in FY 1999.
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 amended FY 2000 budget includes $9 million in bonds for the construction of a third auto dock on Colonel's Island to accommodate this growing business. In addition, the Governor has committed to fund the state's portion of the Brunswick harbor deepening. Funds will be made available once the federal government has appropriated its share of the project.
342

In order to prepare for future

expansion of Savannah's Container

Port, the Governor has agreed to

allow the authority to retain a total of

$12,076,376 due to the state as

payback for debt in prior years. Of

this, $4,581,296 is to be used for

property acquisition around the

Garden City terminal. An additional

$1 million in payback reduction is

provided to fund a study of options

and costs associated with expansion

across the Savannah River on

Hutchinson Island.

Finally,

$6,495,080 in payback reduction is

provided to fund the replacement of 5

rubber tire gantries and 4 container

toplifts for Container Port.

These investments will allow the

ports to continue to playa key role in

the Georgia economy. Today, 80,100

jobs, representing $1.8 billion in

wages, are supported directly or

indirectly by Georgia's ports.

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 FY 2001 budget

includes $22.9 million for a number

of projects associated with the Phase

IV expansion of the GWCC. This

includes $4.4 million to assist the

authority in covering shortfalls in the

construction budget.

Current

estimates show a shortfall of

$11,136,092. The GWCC will make

up the remainder of the shortfall from

its reserves.

The $22.9 million provided in the

recommended budget also includes

$7.5 million for one-half of the

furniture, fixtures and equipment

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

necessary for operation of the building. Funding for these fIxtures is necessary now so that they can be structurally integrated into the design of the building. Funding for the remaining furniture, fIXtures and equipment will be requested in FY 2002.
Additional parking will be necessary both to replace the parking lot that was lost to the Phase IV expansion site and to accommodate increased traffic volumes associated with this new facility. To meet this

need, the Governor recommends $7 million to develop parking on the Jones Avenue site, acquired with bond funds authorized last year. An additional $4 million is provided for site acquisition ($3 million) and the preliminary design of a parking deck to be located on Northside Drive.
The Phase IV expansion, funded in amended FY 1999, 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.
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.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
In 1996, the federal government passed into law the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (i.e., 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, nondiscrimination and guaranteed renewability, certificates of creditable coverage, and the state's alternative mechanism of obtaining portability of coverage when an individual loses group health insurance coverage. The department plans to inform the public of these changes in the law through

with the federal and state standards 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 EDUCATION The Fire Safety Division, through
its Fire Safety Education Program, develops instructional programs on and promotes awareness of fIre safety. The program's efforts emphasize a person's responsibility for fIre prevention and .fIre safety measures at home, school, work and other areas. In this regard, the program coordinates the efforts of the Commissioner, news media, State Fire Marshal's Office and the department's Public Educ~tion 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

$245,843,466 $21,530,359

HIGHLIGHTS

In his FY 2001 budget recommendation, the Governor has included the third phase of a historic plan designed by the state's Department of Juvenile Justice in cooperation with the United States Department of Justice to improve services across the board for juveniles in the state's care. After many years of rapid growth in the need to incarcerate juvenile criminal offenders, the state implemented a three-year plan adding many needed rehabilitative services to the state institutions. Overall, Georgia added over $43 million in operation funds during this three-year span. Those enhancements are cumulatively onesixth of the total budget recommendation for FY 2001.
The Governor is also taking two significant steps to ensure the safety of the juveniles under state supervision with his recommendation.
First, in the amended FY 2000 and the FY 2001 recommendations, the Governor has authorized and funded an increase in the entry-level pay for juvenile correctional officers (JCO). The robust economy in Georgia has hampered the ability of the department to recruit and retain the guards needed to operate a juvenile correctional facility. Effective December 1, 1999, the Governor authorized the department to raise entry-level salaries to $22,044.
Second, the Governor has recommended an additional 300 JCOs be added to the current level of approximately 2,150. Youth in juvenile centers often need much more one on one contact during the day than their counterparts in the adult correctional system. The Governor wants to enhance the level of safety found within the state's youth development campuses (YDC) and regional youth detention centers (RYDC). The department has developed a staffmg plan to place these JCOs at those facilities that have historically been understaffed.

Properly administering the bed space created by the state in the 1990s has also been prioritized by the Governor. During this decade, the demand for secure beds grew immensely. The department was often forced to use older facilities to accommodate this need.
With the Sumter YDC and the Muscogee YDC beds slated to come on-line in the next two years and adding 300 beds to the YDC system, the Governor has recommended closure of the Lorenzo Benn YDC. This 127-bed unit is close to 100 years old and has been serving well as a juvenile home, but would have needed major work in the future if it was to maintain a high quality of operations.
In the RYDC system, the Governor has plans to open the Crisp County and Gainesville RYDCs (80 beds each) and construct new similar RYDCs in Rome, Columbus, and Muscogee. The latter three RYDCs will replace antiquated prototype units designed when those facilities were not programmed to deliver the high levels of medical, mental health, and education services needed today. The department is currently developing plans to convert those older RYDCs to various community correctional and other uses.
The Governor is also prioritizing the availability of alternatives to detention while still making sure violent offenders are locked behind bars thereby protecting the public. He has recommended expanding the intensive supervision program (ISP) statewide. Instead of a regular case manager with a high caseload, the ISP focuses on small units of staff supervising smaller caseloads of low-risk offenders in the community creating more frequent contact between the children and their individual case manager.

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created in the 1992 session of the General Assembly. Prior to 1992, the department functioned as the Division of Children and Youth Services within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose ofDJJ is to: Provide for the supervision, 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 two main divisions: facilities and community corrections.
FACILITIES The facility division manages both the long-term
rehabilitative youth development campuses (YDC) and the short-term regional youth detention centers (RYDC).
Youth development campuses are secure state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services.
Two types of beds exist in the YDC system. The ftrst is a regular commitment bed ftlled with a child committed to the state by a juvenile court. These youths may stay in a commitment status for up to ftve years, but mayor may not spend all of that time within a YDC. The second type of child is one sentenced by a juvenile court to spend 90-days within a state YDC.
For those youth designated to spend time within the YDC system, the department performs thorough assessments of them. The classiftcation system of DJJ incorporates risk to self and others; age; size; previous conduct; offense history; special needs; etc. In this way, the department can tailor the services given the child while ensuring his or her safety.
Currently, the department operates ten YDCs throughout the state with a total of 2,357 beds. Individual institutions range in size from 480 to 121 beds. Plans are underway to increase the capacity of the YDC system to 2,510 by the end ofFY 2002 through eleven institutions.
The goal of the department is to have at least 40% of youth committed to a YDC within a given year to not reenter either the adult or juvenile correctional systems for at

least three years after release. In FY 1999, that rate was 38%.
Regional youth detention centers are secure state institutions that detain youth until a court hearing can be held for him or her, until a permanent placement for the youth is available.
Even though RYDCs are not programmed for longterm stays by juveniles, a full array of services are available for those children who stay there. Educational, medical, and mental health services are provided at these locations.
The state has a capacity in the RYDC system of 1,073 beds. New facilities slated to go on-line by FY 2002 include replacements of the Rome, Macon, and Augusta RYDCs. These centers are old and designed during a time when their occupants needed less services.
DJJ has developed an 80-bed prototype RYDC, the fIrst of which will be open in Gainesville in 2001. The other replacement facilities will be patterned after this pilot site. Once all the replacements are in operation, the department will have an RYDC system capacity of 1,355.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS The community corrections division is responsible for
management and oversight of rehabilitative programs located in a non-incarceration setting.
Community corrections tailors the rehabilitative efforts of the department in an individual manner toward each child in its care. With the youths having a wide variety of problems, an expanded continuum of services must be used.
Services in this division include group homes, multiservice centers, non-residential community schools, intensive supervision programs, and electronic monitoring. The department contracts out for many of these services, as well as for wilderness program slots and specialized residential treatment beds.
This division also contains the court services section. It consists of juvenile probation/parole specialists (JPPS) who are the case managers of the department's charges. They are located in offices throughout the state.
JPPSs provide intake services upon a youth's entry into the juvenile justice system. Upon commitment to the department, the JPPS is also instrumental in the development of the rehabilitative program developed for the juvenile.

367

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Strategies and Services

The Governor's budget

recommendation

for

the

Department of Juvenile Justice

(DJJ) focuses on the fmal phase of

the expansion 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 FY 2001 budget

recommends over $12.8 million in

new operational costs for the

second phase of enhancing

departmental programs. The fmal

phase of this plan brings the total

new expenditures over three years

to $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 is to provide all
youth under the department's custody a complete general, vocational, and special education where appropriate.
The office of education has oversight of the educational programs at all DJJ facilities, including development and implementation of policies and training programs.
In conjunction with the G~orgia Department of Education, the office has developed and implemented 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.

Many youths admitted to a DJJ

facility need 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 in the

department statewide.

DJJ also ensures 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 the department is to ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services.
The office of mental health 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 has developed a mental health and suicide risk screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities.
Intake screening is done on each youth admitted into a DJJ facility, usually a regional youth detention center (RYDC). 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 have also been developed 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 for 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. Children who commit crimes are often emotionally troubled and upon incarceration, react negatively to their situation, frequently with threats of suicide.

368

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE - Strategies And Services

DJJ has developed policies and

procedures to identify these youth

before the situation turns tragic.

Preventative 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 ensures 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. To

complement that initial step, DJJ

also 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 and to

provide 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 staffmg 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. The governor has also recommended in both the amended FY 2000 budget and the FY 2001 budget, an increase in the entry level salary of all juvenile correctional officers to the Georgia Gain target level.
While strengthening the quality of the direct care staff, the department has also initiated development of detention standards based on a risk assessment instrument. This instrument evaluates youth for placement in alternative detention programs being developed by DJJ.
The risk assessment instrument identifies 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 are placed in the developing continuum of alternative placements to RYDCs.
PROTECTION FROM HARM DJJ has a dual protectionary
function. On one hand, the department incarcerates 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 varies greatly. Juveniles often cannot be housed together or even in close proximity. DJJ
369

assigns rooms based on concerns

such as these.

Line staff also visually checks

incarcerated youth multiple times

during an hour. State institutions

have monitoring systems in place

to ensure this occurs.

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. One unit in the office consists of staff to investigate allegations of child abuse in institutional settings. This unit works 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 records, unit
logs, incident and use of force 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 confmed in state institutions; and Interviews with officials having regular contact with facilities or residents.

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. The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 was designed to replace the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Under the Workforce Investment Act, the Governor established the State Workforce Investment Board and named the Department of Labor as the lead agency for implementation of the new act.
The Department in conjunction with its partner agencies, the Departments of Human Resources and Technical and Adult Education has implemented the OneStop System to deliver comprehensive workforce development services to customers. Workforce development services consist of registration, assessment (need and eligibility determinations and job readiness screening), structured job search workshops, resume preparations, employment counseling, job development, vocational training, on-the-job training, and job placement to employer job listings opportunities. Customers in need of additional assistance in conjunction with their employability needs are referred to other agencies for complimentary services such as adult basic education and vocational training.
For employers the department provides "no cost" labor exchange services that include the maintenance of interstate and intrastate job banks, employment screening, on the job training programs, and tax credits though the Worker Opportunities Tax Credit Act.
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 FY 1999,200,201 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 157,539 applicants received employment or vocational counseling in FY 1999. 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, with that number increasing as new sites scheduled to begin operations in the next year; 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 55,409 work permits for students during FY 1999, and the Safety Engineering staff performed a total of 41,794 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.

COLLABORATION

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, is charged with

developing and implementing the new

system.

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 coordina-

tion;

Establishment of mutually accepted work-readiness criteria;

Provision of quality education

and training;

Coordination of job develop-

ment 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. In FY 2001 these efforts are continuing.

The act requires each governor to establish a state board that is charged with developing a 5-year strategic plan describing the state's proposed

WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998, which replaces the Job Training Partnership Act effective July 1, 2000, will have profound impact on the Department of Labor's efforts to provide workforce preparation and employment services to Georgia's citizens. The stated goal of the legislation is to increase the employment, retention, and earnings of participants, to enhance the quality of the nation's workforce, and to reduce welfare dependency. 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.

workforce development activities. The Governor's executive order establishing Georgia's Workforce Investment Board has just named, in addition to himself, four members of the legislature, six heads of state departments, and two constitutional officers, as well as other non-business members. The majority of the board, however, is made up of members of the business community.
The state Board is also responsible for designating local workforce investment areas, but does not name the local boards, which are appointed by local elected officials.
The structure of the local boards is similar to that of the statewide board, 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

378

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies And Services

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 oftheir 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 comprehensive skills and

needs assessments, development of individual employment 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, onthe-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 1 year of followup services.
In Georgia, the interagency collaborative continues to design the workforce investment system envisioned by the Work Force

Investment Act. Local boards will determine how the full array of services will be delivered to customers in their communities. All states are required to fully implement the plan by July 1,2000.

CHILD

LABOR

ENFORCEMENT

The Department of Labor is

also charged with monitoring the

state's laws protecting young

workers. The Child Labor

Enforcement program currently

responds to complaints or existing

violations, or acts as an educational

tool for employers, while only the

federal government has the power

to enforce the law. The Governor's

FY 2001 budget redirects $30,000

to be used to expand

education/information efforts to try

to prevent Child Labor violations.

It is expected that the number of

violations and site visits by

inspectors will be reduced,

therefore making the program more

effective and cost efficient.

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 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. They investigate 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 head office, a counsel to the Attorney General and special prosecution section, 6 law practicing divisions and an operations division. The 6 law practicing divisions provide a full range of legal services to designated state departments, authorities and agencies. They are 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.

391

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 FY 1999, the department received over 12,400 requests for its legal services and advice. The department's attorneys do not handle the entire workload due to the volume, and 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 FY 1997 and with 373 SAAGs for $19.3 million in FY 1998 and with 396 SAAG's for $19.1 million in FY 1999.
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.
REGULATED INDUSTRIES AND PROFESSIONAL DMSION
This division is divided into two sections. One section is the Consumer Interest Section. The section's primary goal is to protect the Georgia consumer, which is one of the Attorney General's highest priorities.
The Attorney General combats consumer fraud with criminal prosecution. The elderly in Georgia, and the nation, are particularly vulnerable to these criminal schemes. Criminal prosecution and jail time has proven to be effective in stemming this activity. A prime eX;ample of the

Attorney General's commitment to the consumer was the successful prosecution of 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.
The second section of the division is the Environmental and Natural Resources Section which is involved in protecting all of the state's natural resources. Such protection includes civil, and to a lesser extent criminal prosecution of persons violating the environmental and natural resources laws of the state.
COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND LITIGATION DMSION
This division provides legal representation in transactions and litigation involving revenue, fmancial and property operations of the state government. In addition to handling federal tax issues that affect state agencies, the division advises the Department of Revenue on the interpretation and application of the state's tax laws. Other key duties include advising the Department of Transportation, the new Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, and the Lottery Corporation.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE DMSION This division is responsible for
representing the state's law enforcement agencies and other involved in the criminal justice system. Agencies that receive assistance from this section include the Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Safety and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. Duties include all litigation except civil rights, torts and employment cases which are assigned to specialized areas. Briefs are also filed in the Georgia Supreme Court in all

murder cases in which either a life or life without parole sentence was imposed. The division also represents the state before the United States Supreme Court in murder and other criminal cases. Additionally, the State Health Care and Fraud Control Unit is housed in this section since prosecuting Medicaid fraud and patient abuse are generally criminal matters.
GENERAL LITIGATION DMSION
This area provides representation for elected and appointed officers, officials and employees sued for damages in their individual and official capacity in civil rights actions. The division also handles action brought under the State Tort Claims Act which includes claims for personal injury, property damage and wrongful death.
GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS DMSION
Agencies represented by this division include the Department of Community Health, State Department of Labor, Department of Education, Department of Technical and Adult Education and the Department of Juvenile Justice in matters regarding health services, child support recovery, public health, elections, federal litigation dealing with claims of discrimination, conflicts of interest and the operation of the Open Records Act and Open Meetings Act as they relate to the operation of local governments.
COUNSEL DIVISION This is a specialized division that
prosecutes cases involving public corruption, consumer fraud, insurance fraud and other white collar crimes. The division may also be requisitioned by the Governor to prosecute cases where district attorneys have been recused or otherwise disqualified.

The enactment of S.B. 635 in FY 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.
WORKFORCE RETENTION AND PRODUCTIVITY
In an effort to assist state agencies in retaining employees and broadening workforce productivity, the Merit System has developed and is implementing a series of initiatives designed to address these concerns. These initiatives include:
Systematic collection and analysis of data on state agency workforce status and trends.
Partnerships with agencies to design and adopt pay, selection, and training practices to enhance workforce productivity and retention.
Continuous evaluation of results, benchmarking strategies, and consultation with agencies for ongoing improvements in workforce efficiency.
Calculation of costs associated with workforce issues such as job specific pay grade changes, performance pay increases, and pay structure adjustments.

Analysis of recruitment and selection options, and productivity/ retention results expected from targeted employee and management skills development.
Under these initiatives, the Merit System hopes to equip agencies with the means to be more effective at retaining and developing employees.
JOB MARKET SALARY RESEARCH
Each year the Merit System performs four major custom salary surveys as well as numerous individual salary surveys for requesting agencies. The major surveys and individual surveys serve three purposes:
Provide agencies with information to aid them in determining appropriate salaries for their employees.
Allow agencies and the Merit System to measure the competitiveness of state employee salaries with the overall job market.
Assist the Merit System in its responsibilities toward reviewing the statewide pay schedule for all job classes, and where necessary make recommendations for changes to the pay schedule.
The data from the major and individual surveys along with related information from other sources are compiled and presented in an annual report distributed to agencies. Agencies also have access to both the Merit System's job market research library and salary survey training courses.
ON-LINE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ENROLLMENT
Prompted by the need to make the annual employee benefit open emollment process less costly for agencies and more responsive for employees, the Merit System is exploring the feasibility of offering electronic, or online, benefit emollment to employees. Electronic emollment has the decided advantage of significantly reducing the
401

multitude of paper documents the approximately 80,000 benefit plan members must receive and the enormous amount of data entry associated with these documents when they have been completed and returned for processing. The introduction of on-line emollment is intended to curtail the emollment process' reliance on paper and the need for extensive data entry. Converting this paper intensive process to an electronic one has the defmite potential of presenting agencies and employees with a less expensive, more accurate and convenient method of emolling for benefits.
Under the on-line benefit proposal, employees would make their benefit selections by telephone or the Internet. The Flexible Benefits computer system then would automatically update employees' benefit option selections and generate a confrrmation statement verifying the selected options. The statement would be mailed to the employees. Employees not responding on-line during the open emollment period would be contacted.
Once developed, the on-line emollment approach has applications for emollment and processing of other benefits which are not part of the employee flexible benefit package. The Merit System's eventual goal, if feasible, would be to extend the online approach to all benefits, and network entities not sharing common payroll, benefit, or personnel systems to provide for a one stop data entry point for emolling or making changes in all benefit plans.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN CHANGES
At the direction of the State Personnel Board and the Employee Benefit Plan Council, Merit System staff reviewed the state's voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan Program to determine how well it was meeting the supplemental retirement savings needs of participating state

MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Strategies and Services

employees, and what improvements should be made to the Program. The 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. These modifications became effective July 1, 1998 and include adding a 401(k:) plan to allow state employees participating or who wish to participate 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 members. A final significant revision to the Program's operation was contracting 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.

APPLICATION 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
During FY 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 47 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted 15 million visitors during FY 1999. 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 fish in state hatcheries that 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.

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, management and protection to ensure an adequate supply of clean water for Georgians now and well into the future.
Georgia's air currently meets national standards for all pollutants except ozone. Metropolitan Atlanta has been declared an "ozone nonattainment 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.
E~ONMENTALPROTEC~
ION DIVISION STAFF DEVELOPMENTSTRATEGY
EPD enforces 20 state laws and has delegation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for

programs under 4 federal environmental laws. EPD directly regulates over 60,000 facilities by permit, rule, or license.
Citizens of Georgia rightfully expect a clean and safe environment and expect EPD to be responsive to their environmental concerns. The regulated community rightfully expects EPD to be efficient in issuing and administering permits. EPD is currently under-staffed to fulfill its mission and statutory responsibilities.
The Governor recommends increasing EPD's state funded budget by $2,200,000 and authorizing 60 new positions for programs related to water pollution control, water allocation, hazardous waste management, surface mining, and ozone standard attainment.
COMMUNITY GREEN SPACE PROTECTION STRATEGY
Governor Barnes recognizes that rapid development radiating out from metropolitan areas has negative effects on the environment and diminishes the quality of life for many Georgians. He proposes the initiation of a Community Green Space program to balance land development and the preservation of publicly-assessable, connected green spaces in areas where people live, work, shop, play, and go to school.
A network of connected green spaces would also provide alternative transportation opportunities for Georgians. People could leave their cars at home and walk or bicycle to many of the places they want to go.
The Governor also recognizes that green space protection along Georgia's rivers, streams, and lakes will provide a needed buffer to nonpoint source pollution to further the water protection goals of the state and local governments.
Governor Barnes recommends the appropriation of $30,000,000 for grants to local entities that qualify for state funds under the Community Green Space Grant program. He also proposes $20,000,000 in G.O. Bonds

to match federal funds and private donations for land acquisition and protection in the Chattahoochee River corridor.
AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES
The failure of the 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 has jeopardized federal funding for Georgia and will 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 continuing a regional approach to the development of transportation alternatives in conjunction with the continuation and expansion 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.
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 expand the Partnership for a Smog-free Georgia (pSG) program. Through PSG, EPD partners with businesses, governments, universities and others in the metro-Atlanta area to develop voluntary vehicle emission reduction plans that can be implemented throughout the ozone season of May 1 to September 30, or on days with projected high ozone levels. These voluntary plans can include carpooling and mass transit, alternative work schedules, and telecommuting. PSG includes a major public education campaign as well as enhanced air-monitoring capabilities in order to more

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

accurately project daily ozone levels

in Atlanta.

The Governor

recommends doubling the program by

providing $600,000 in state funds in

FY 2001 to match $2,400,000 in

federal Congestion Mitigation and Air

Quality funds to enhance this

program.

Governor Barnes will continue 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 FY 2001 to match $400,000 in

federal Congestion Mitigation and Air

Quality funds to continue the Georgia

State Agency Rideshare Office and to

provide mass transit subsidies for

state employees in the metro-Atlanta.

The Georgia State Agency

Rideshare Office provides effective

coordination of all programs relating

to alternative transportation for state

employees. The office works 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 also monitors state

employees' transportation attitudes

and habits, and proposes statewide

programs and policies to accomplish

the goal of reducing single-passenger

trips to work by state employees in

metro-Atlanta.

The Rideshare Office also

coordinates 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

between MARTA and the Georgia

Building Authority. The Mass

Transit Subsidy program further

reduces the cost of a monthly transit

card for state employees to $30 for all

mass transit systems operating in the

metro-Atlanta area.

The Governor also recommends

$821,567 for 5 non-fee, non-

regulatory positions along with

increased per diem, fees and contracts to address air quality issues and to structure air quality improvement options in conjunction with other agencies involved in resolving metropolitan Atlanta's ozone nonattainment problems.

WATER QUALITY AND

PROTECTION STRATEGIES

Several major water management

issues face the state of Georgia in the

early years 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

resources. The 8-year Coastal

Groundwater (Sound Science)

Study was initiated in FY 1999. The

Governor recommends increasing

funding for the project's 3rd year by

$872,000 for a total annual

appropriation of $1,872,000. These

419

funds will be used to continue collection of the scientific data needed to fully understand the aquifer and to develop an appropriate management plan to protect coastal groundwater. The 8-year 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.
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, the deadline was extended to December 1999 and discussions are currently underway to extend the deadline again. Governor Barnes has included $500,000 in his FY 2000 amended budget and another $500,000 in FY 2001 budget, in addition to the annual appropriation of $250,000 in the adjusted base budget, 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, 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 $150,000 in the FY 2001 budget to provide 2nd year funding for this 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. This project will cost a total of $875,000 with $437,500 in state funds matched by $437,500 in federal funds.
Although agriculture is the largest user of groundwater in

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services

Georgia, there are no reporting requirements under the agricultural water use pennitting process. In order to develop a strategy to protect coastal Georgia from saltwater intrusion and to develop water allocation fonnulas for Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, EPD must have reliable agricultural water use infonnation. Rather than impose a cumbersome reporting requirement on all farmers with water withdrawal pennits, meters installed ona 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 FY 1999. Governor Barnes recommends 3rd year funding of $259,788 in FY 2001 to continue this study, which will cost a total of $1,266,761.
EPD's current groundwater models indicate that during a significant drought, the primary southwest Georgia aquifer could be pumped to the point where the Flint River ceases to flow. This would result in loss of fish and wildlife habitat, improper waste assimilation, localized groundwater pollution, sinkhole inducement, and an inability to meet inter-state water supply agreements with Florida.
The Governor recommends $750,000 in the FY 2000 amended budget to initiate a 4-year Southwest Georgia Ground and Surface Water Interchange Study to provide EPD additional field and pumping data necessary to develop more accurate groundwater flow models and to more effectively manage agricultural irrigation pennits. These funds will be used to contract with the U.S. Geologic Survey for well drilling, testing, and groundwater modeling, and with the University of Georgia Extension Service to establish a network of irrigation monitors capable of collecting daily pumpage

data. This project will cost a total of $2,572,662.
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 FY 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 FY 2001 to support the 4th year of the 8-year TMDL development program. Under revised EPA regulations requiring implementation plans to achieve water quality standard compliance within 15 years, this project is projected to cost a total of $14,472,000.
PARKS AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
With a growing state population, the Department of Natural Resources must meet increasing demands for public access to quality historic, cultural, recreation, hunting, fishing and boating facilities throughout the state. The Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division manages 47 state parks, 15 historic sites, over 72,000 acres of land, 2 lodges, 7 golf courses, 279 cottages and more than 3,000 campsites. It also manages a number of swimming pools, beaches, and other recreational facilities. Almost 15 million people visited Georgia's state parks and historic sites in FY 1999.
The Wildlife Management Division manages almost a million acres of wildlife lands and over 2,000 acres of public fishing lakes. The division issues more than 1.4 million hunting and fishing licenses and

almost 400,000 boat registrations. Governor Barnes recommends
several capital outlay projects to protect current state resources and expand the state's recreational facilities. He recommends increasing the appropriation for Wildlife Management Area (WMA) land leases by $260,000 in both the FY 2000 amended and FY 2001 budgets. This will provide an annual budget of $982,330 for WMA lease payments. The Governor also recommends $3,750,000 in bond funds to add to $250,000 in other agency funds to purchase 2,000 additional acres for the Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area.
Governor Barnes recommends $1.2 million in bonds to construct 10 additional cabins at the Richard B. Russell State Park and $1.5 million in bonds for a new interpretive center at the Sweetwater Creek State Conservation Park.
In addition, he recommends that up to $4 million from the Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority (LLIDA) reserves be used to build a golf course at the Richard B. Russell State Park. This will be the first use of LLIDA funds for facilities on other Corps lakes as authorized last year in SB99.
Bond funds of $1.8 million for Phase II of the Victoria Bryant Golf Course, $600,000 to purchase land along the Altamaha River in Appling County for a new state park site, and $275,000 to construct a new public fishing pier on the St. Marys River in Camden County are also recommended by the Governor.
In order to protect current state assets, Governor Barnes recommends $300,000 to construct a seawall at the Florence Marina State Park to prevent further shoreline erosion. Materials for this project have already been provided by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. He also recommends $250,000 to repair dams at the John Tanner State Park.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Roles and Responsibilities

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 Board achieves its constitutional mandate through its mission to:
Protect the public by thoroughly investigating and processing inmate cases and making responsible, just, and equitable parole decisions while balancing punishment and rehabilitation.
Respond to the needs and concerns of crime victims and their families.
Use agency and community resources as a bridge to help parolees reach self-sufficiency and stable citizenship.
Supervise parolees skillfully and return to prison those who demonstrate they will not, by choice, abide by their release conditions.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS In order to accomplish its mission, the agency is divided
in to four divisions: Clemency, Administration, Field Operations and Community Based Services. The Clemency Division works most closely with the Board on a day-to-day basis, gathering information and preparing cases for the board to make clemency decisions. The Clemency Division manages requests for restoration of rights and pardons. Finally, this division is responsible for communication with victims and victims groups to make sure Board members know and understand their needs and concerns.
The Field Operations Division assists the Clemency Division by completing important investigations that are used in the clemency decision process. Inmates granted the privilege of parole to community supervision are supervised by this division's parole officers who work in 60 offices throughout the state. Field parole officers provide offender oversight through a process known as Results Driven Supervision. This model for addressing the risk and needs of parolees was the 1999 recipient of the Council of State

Governments Innovations Award. Parole officers spend a majority of their time in the community intervening with parolees and their families, talking to employers, networking with police officials and staying in touch with treatment providers to ensure parolee compliance with the conditions of parole. As certified peace officers, parole officers also execute board warrants and provide back up to local law enforcement as needed.
The board's Community Based Services Division (CBS) helps parole officers gain access to the programs necessary for the successful reintegration of parolees. These include substance abuse and mental health treatment, job readiness and education programs, programs that address offender criminal thinking and other needs such as sex offender programming. CBS staff help determine which programs are most effective and work with community organizations to create new programs. CBS staff work closely with the Department of Corrections to oversee and implement intensive treatment programs at two facilities operated by corrections. Additionally, CBS has established a pilot restorative justice project to communicate more effectively with victims and to identify work projects in the community where parolees can make amends for the harm caused the community by their crimes.
The Administration Division provides support for the internal operations of the agency including budget/fiscal, staff training, personnel services, operational audits, criminal justice research and information technology and services. The agency is acknowledged as having one of the best parole training programs in the United States. The Agency has also won accolades for the development of a low cost, computerized case management system known as the Field Log Of Interactive Data (FLOID) that provides a wealth of statistical data for the management and assessment of outcomes of parolee supervision and recidivism.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
Strategies and Services

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 monit~ring

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 FY 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

risk/high need parolees.

The Board has also initiated an

offender funded electronic monitoring

pilot program. This pilot is for the

purpose of determining the feasibility

of requiring offenders, at their own

expense, to contract with a

monitoring company to provide

necessary electronic monitoring

services. The pilot project includes

nine parole districts, one being rural.

If the evaluation of the pilot is

positive, it will determine the service

components and structure of the EM

program in the future.

AUTOMATION

CLEMENCY

OFFENDER

NOTES SYSTEM The Parole

Board will have developed the

clemency offender notes system

(CONS) by the end of FY 2000. The

system will allow the Parole Board to

migrate from paper documents to

electronically stored documents for

all new cases entering the Department

of Corrections in FY 2001.

Once current cases are converted

to the clemency offender notes

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 Clemency Offender Notes

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 was named F.L.OJ.D. (Field Log of Interactive data. With case management being implemented, a chief is able to call up his office's cases and view them in almost unlimited ways. For example: fmd all parolees who have tested positive for any drug in the past 6 months and who have been unemployed for more than 4.
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 sup~rvision 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

436

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES - Strategies and Services

targeted for the SPSIEM program include boot camp parolees, sex offenders, violent offenders and .parolees with drug and alcohol problems. These high risk/high 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.
The results driven supervision model focuses on employment and drug abuse. In FY 1999 70% of the parolees were successfully discharged from Parole; 87% of parolees were employed, and 5,998 parolees were

placed in a substance abuse treatment program.
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 treatmerit is to increase community safety by promoting the productive, law-abiding, and drug free lifestyles of offenders.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles contract 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.

HIGHLIGHTS

$1,028,000 to increase the sworn count for the State Patrol by 25 officers, from 889 to 914. Georgia's population has grown by 36% over the past 20 years while the size of the state patrol has grown by only 13%.
$389,530 to provide funds for 10 additional license examiner positions to be dispersed in the high volume Metro Area. This will increase the license examiner position count from 116 to 126. Since 1990, the number of issued license in the state has increased by 24% (167,550), while; the number of examiners has only increased by 11 % (11 positions).
$100,000 to provide funding to study the feasibility of developing and implementing a unified and standard law enforcement communication system.

$163,528 to provide funding for 3 positions in the Governors Office of Highway Safety. These positions will assist the agency with oversight of additional federal funds to be received from the Highway Safety Grants Program. The agency expects to be awarded nearly $14,000,000. This a considerable increase over the $2,781,771 awarded in previous years.
$65,000 to fund operating expenses for the Fire Academies two-bum buildings. The bum buildings represent an initiative to make fire training more accessible across the state. This will allow those counties that could not afford because of time and staffmg to send their officers to the training academy to receive training in the local area.

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
instruction and support services for the training of state and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, correctional officers and emergency personnel.
The Georgia Police Academy conducts mandated brdc training for state law enforcement agencies. The academy also provides advanced and specialized training to improve the knowledge, skills and performance of law enforcement officers.
The Georgia Fire Academy is primarily responsible for providing training to full-time, volunteer and industrial firefighters in Georgia. Emergency medical, rescue and hazardous materials training for firefighters and other emergency services personnel are also provided by the Fire Academy.
The Firefighter Standards and Training Council is responsible for establishing uniform standards for the employment and training of firefighters. Additionally, the council establishes curriculum requirements and approves schools and facilities for the purpose of fire training.
The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council is responsible for improving law enforcement in the state by enforcing legislatively established standards for the employment and training of peace officers. The citizens of Georgia can be assured the adequate protection of persons and property through the establishment of minimum standards and professionalism developed and supported by law enforcement training.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Strategies and Services

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 FY 1999, the department's troopers investigated 30,149 ac.cidents, and made 9,931 DUI arrests. These efforts have contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia.
In FY 2001, 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 25 Troopers. This brings the authorized count for sworn officers in the Georgia State Patrol to 914.
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

Commission

on

Communications 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 lower

power frequencies, such as an 800

MHz radio system. No date has been

firmly set for this migration.

In the FY 2001 Budget, Governor

Barnes recommends the hiring of a

consultant to study the feasibility of

developing and implementing a

unified statewide communication

center.

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 175,000 citations for speeding in FY 1999 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce highway speed and save lives. 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.
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 departmenfs troopers and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service announcements targeting seat belt usage. In FY 1998, the department implemented operation "Strap 'N Snap," which is focusing on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During FY 1999, 80,638 seat belt citations and 5,820 child restraint citations were written in this operation.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services

DRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE
In the FY 2001 Budget, Governor Barnes recommends funding for an additional 10 license examiners positions, for a total of 126 positions. These positions have been designated for the high volume Metro area.
The number of license examiners has only had an increase of 11% (11 positions) since 1990, while the issuance of license per year has increased over 24% (167,550).
As part of an effort to improve service at overcrowded driver's license facilities, the department opened 3 more license renewal sites in 1998. Combined with the 29 previously opened, these 32 serviceoriented facilities renewed over 1,272,000 driver's licenses in FY 1999.
Another step to improve service is the introGuction 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 the efficiency and quality of service.
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 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.
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 400hour 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.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Public Service 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. However, at the same time, the commission must provide regulated companies the opportunity to earn a fair return on their investments.
The Public Service Commission is a quasilegislative, quasi-judicial agency consisting of a 5-member board of commissioners elected through a 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 administration 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 service for the entire commission.
JURISDICTION Over the past decade, economic growth and the
introduction of competition have significantly changed the Commission's purpose. With the onset of competition in the natural gas and telecommunications industries, the Commission's role is being expanded from that of a traditional regulator to one that is also called upon to establish and monitor competitive markets, arbitrate complaints among competitors, and provide consumer protection and education. This trend is expected to continue as these industries-and possibly the electric industrymove toward full competition.
The PSC continues to be responsible for approving the rates charged for regulated services in the electric, natural gas, telecommunications and transportation industries; establishing and enforcing quality of service and customer service standards; enforcing federal safety standards for commercial motor vehicles and natural gas pipelines; certifying and registering motor carriers; ensuring adequacy and reliability of supply and capacity in the natural gas and electric industries; and implementing and enforcing various laws pertaining to the industries under its jurisdiction.
In addition, the agency is now responsible for fostering competition, certifying competitive providers and

monitoring the effectiveness of markets for competitive services. The telecommunications and natural gas industries are evolving from monopoly market structures where customers are served by a single provider to competitive markets where customers can choose from multiple providers for certain services. Other services, such as natural gas distribution, will continue to be monopoly services regulated by the Commission. The pace of competition varies among these industries. In the telecommunications industry long distance service has been competitive since the mid-1980s. In 1995 and 1996, local telephone service was opened to competition by state and federal legislation, respectively. In 1997, Georgia law opened the natural gas industry to competition. Implementation of these laws is underway with considerable progress toward full competition being made in both industries. Restructuring the electric industry is being discussed at both the state and federal level, although no statutory changes have been made to date. Although the natural gas, telecommunications and electric industries are becoming more competitive, the PSC recognizes that its responsibility to ensure that utility services are reliable and reasonably priced has not changed. Georgians should continue to have access to high quality utility services whether those services are priced in a competitive market or through economic regulation.
Numerous state and federal laws require Commission action and set forth mandatory deadlines. These laws relate to rate-setting; natural gas and telecommunications competition; integrated resource planning; electric supplier franchises and territorial disputes; extended area service for telecommunications; universal service; commercial motor carriers and drivers; motor carrier and pipeline safety; consumer issues, such as slamming, cramming and unsolicited telemarketing calls; and other issues affecting the electric, natural gas, telecommunications and transportation industries. The PSC manages the Georgia No Call List, the Telecommunications Relay Service Fund for the hearing and speech impaired, the Universal Access Fund for the telephone industry and the Universal Service Fund for the natural gas industry.

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

detennines 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,

turn 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 3,000 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 an 80% federal / 20% state match for this program. Each year 15 million commercial motor vehicles travel Georgia's roads.
Enforcement officers perfonn 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. The officers perfonn 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.
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
467

concerning fmancial and technical infonnation. 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.
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-tenn 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 monitor the construction process to ensure costs are kept within budget.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Results-Based Budgeting
NATURAL GAS PIPELINE SAFETY
PURPOSE: To protect the customer, providers and the general public from injury, and property and environment from damage caused by fires, explosions, and other accidents involving Georgia's natural gas pipelines.

GOAL 1: Ensure that no natural gas fires, explosions or other accidents are due to systems operators failing to comply with all applicable state and federal natural gas pipeline safety regulations.
DESIRED RESULT la: Reduce the number of natural gas fIres, explosions or other accidents due to systems operators' non-compliance with applicable natural gas pipeline safety regulations by 5% per year.

FY 1998 Actual Result
28
This measure is based on pipeline incidents with at least $5,000 of damage. The 5-year average ending with FY 1999 was 27.8, slightly lower than the FY 1998 baseline. The desired results for FY 2000 and FY 2001 reflect a 5% reduction per year from the FY 1998 baseline.

GOAL 2: Ensure that contractors and operators are educated and trained in locating facilities and the general public is aware of and use the Utilities Protection Center (UPC) "Call Before You Dig" program in order to reduce third party damage to Georgia's natural gas pipelines. The high economic and population growth of the state has spurred improvement and expansion program for roads and many services with underground facilities, such as telecommunications, cable and water. As a result, more damage to these underground facilities is being reported.

DESIRED RESULT 2a: Reduce the number of natural gas fires, explosions or other accidents resulting from third-party damages due to the lack of education training and awareness of the Utilities Protection Center "Call Before You Dig" program by 5% per year.

UTILITIES REGULATION (TELECOMMUNICATIONS, NATURAL GAS, ELECTRIC)

PURPOSE: To ensure that telecommunications, natural gas and electric utility services provided in Georgia under PSC jurisdiction are affordable and reliable either through traditional economic regulation or through the facilitation of competitive markets.

GOAL 1: Ensure that an effectively competitive local exchange market exists so that prices and choices of services will be market-based.
DESIRED RESULT la: In FY 2001, new competitive providers of local exchange service in the largest metro areas will have 11.6% market share in the aggregate. The desired results for FY 1999 were not achieved due to competitive local exchange providers' inability to access BellSouth's Operation Support System. To rectify such, the Commission has ordered third party testing of BST systems to ensure that the set standards are met.

Strategies and Services

Governor Barnes has made education a major priority during his tenn as the state's top elected official. He recognizes that in today's global economy, a state that ignores its duty to ensure a highly educated workforce will not succeed in the effort to secure the jobs of the new "knowledge economy."
In the University System of Georgia, the Governor has an excellent instrument with which to ensure that at the college and university level his education goals are met. The state's system of public colleges and universities - 4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, two state colleges and 13 two-year colleges has a long history of working to prepare Georgians to assume the duties of both citizenship and the workplace.
The System, which enrolls more than 200,000 students, has embarked on an ambitious program designed to transfonn itself and the way in which it works with the other state education agencies, the business community and the state's economic development organizations.
This program begins with the concept that all activities of the University System of Georgia should be aimed at helping students to succeed and in creating a more educated Georgia.
This philosophy is embodied in the 1994 "Vision Statement" of the System's 16-member 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 frrst and foremost while

raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state."
Since 1994 the regents have developed and implemented a number of policy directives and initiatives directed to that end. These include: a comprehensive plan that integrates all aspects of University System planning (academic, facilities needs, workforce needs, enrollment), master planning for all campuses; refonn of teacher preparation programs; new admissions requirements; cooperative programs with the Department of Technical and Adult Education; the P16 education co-refonn initiative; the Postsecondary Readiness Enrichment Program (PREP) to help at-risk students achieve; major investments in technology such as the GALILEO One Statewide Electronic .Library as well as principles to guide the future integration of technology into higher education; conversion of the System to a semester calendar; and the Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP), along with participation in Governor Barnes' Yamacraw program.

The University System of Georgia is poised now to undertake a signifIcant new program - a review or "benchmarking" of its activities and institutions to ensure that the state of Georgia is receiving the best possible return for its investment in public higher education. As the fIrst state agency to undergo such an audit process, the Board of Regents are committed to utilizing the results to further refme and direct its activities as it continues to pursue its shared goal with Governor Barnes for a more educated Georgia.
Governor Barnes' initiatives target resources to 3 major areas within the University System in FY 2001: facilities, improving access to education and development of high tech research-based economic development.
FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT Governor Barnes recommends a
total of $210,834,856 in new construction, design, and renovation projects in the Amended FY 2000 Budget. These projects include: a university learning center at Clayton

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 $52,094,876 in major

repair and rehabilitation (MRR) funds

in FY 2001. The MRR fund increase

illustrates

the

Governor's

commitment to maintaining and

protecting higher education facilities.

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 system wide 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 the FY 2001 budget, Governor

Barnes supports several on-going

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,

and to explore the contributions of

technology instruction. The Governor

recommends $4,820,000 in FY 2001

to continue this initiative. P-16/

Postsecondary

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 FY 2001.

In an effort to provide the system

with quality faculty, the Governor

recommends six Eminent Scholars

in FY 2001 to match private funds for

Endowed Chairs in rural economic

development at Georgia Southern

University ($500,000); history at

Gainesville College ($500,000);

science at Georgia College and State

University ($500,000); biology at

North Georgia College and State

University ($500,000); policy studies

at Georgia State University

($500,000) and maternal and child

health at Georgia Southwestern State

University ($500,000).

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 continuation funds of $2,000,000 in FY 2001 for the Cooperative Engineering Program. This new program seeks to address three major goals: to produce more engineering 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
497

programs in additional areas of the

state. The initial implementation is in

the Statesboro/Savannah region.

Georgia Tech is working 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 has developed 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 provides a new

model for engineering delivery to

help local areas attract students and

produce graduates who will find

employment in the region. The first

freshmen classes under this initiative

were offered in fall 1999.

The University of Georgia's

"electronic library" system is

regarded .as a national model with a

remarkable track record in just 4

years of operation. GALILEO has

recorded over 11.5 million "hits" or

searches. Currently, 34 University

System libraries, the Governor's

Office, three legislative research

offices, 159 public libraries, 192 K-12

school systems/training centers, 34

technical institutes and 38 private

educational institutions are linked to

the system.

The Governor

recommends $1,939,000 in lottery

funding for GALILEO in FY 2001.

Governor Barnes also recommends

$4,000,000 in lottery funding in FY

2000 Amended Budget for the

GAILEO Interconnected Libraries

initiative.

The Governor's FY 2001

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.

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

HIGH TECH RESEARCH BASED

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT -

Governor Barnes continues to support

two initiatives linked to high tech

economic development: the Georgia

Research Alliance and the Yamacraw

Mission. Funding recommendations

for both initiatives exceed $56

million, for the FY 2000 amended and

the FY 2001 budgets combined.

Together, these initiatives are 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, high-quality jobs

for Georgians.

The Yamacraw Mission,

initiated in FY 2000, aims at making

Georgia the preeminent leader in the

design of electronics for the

communications and" computer

industries. The Yamacraw Mission

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

bringing Georgia to the forefront of

this emerging high technology sector.

Governor Barnes recommends a

total of $12,715,672 in additional

funding for the Yamacraw Mission in

the FY 2000 Amended and FY 2001

budgets. This funding is distributed

among the four core areas of the

initiative:

focused research,

educational capacity building,

commercialization, and marketing.

One million dollars is added to a

$4 million base in the FY 2001

Budget to fund focused research in

specialized areas of electronics

design. This will allow the

continuation of work that is currently

under way in three areas (Embedded

Software, Broadband Access

Hardware, and System Prototyping)

as well as the initiation of research in

new specialized Yamacraw areas.

The recommended $6,521,240

for educational capacity building

includes funding for new Yamacraw

faculty at the 8 participating schools

to teach courses and conduct research

in Yamacraw fields. Last year alone,

Yamacraw schools hired 22 new faculty for this program. This funding will permit the addition of 25 more Yamacraw faculty. Funding is also provided for a new Yamacraw Distance Learning Project, which will allow students at other Yamacraw institutions access to graduate teaching assistants from Georgia Tech.
In addition, the Governor's FY 200 I Budget includes funding to attract individuals into Yamacraw fields in Georgia. This will be accomplished from both ends of the workforce spectrum. Over the shortterm, continuing education courses will serve as a tool to generate increased numbers of professionals in Yamacraw fields as well as to attract national attention to Georgia's efforts in this area. Looking towards the longer term, high school students will be exposed to the opportunities in Yamacraw fields in order to generate enrollment in college-level Yamacraw programs in years to come.
The FY 2001 recommendation includes $1,570,650 in funding for commercialization. This includes funding for a Venture Capital Director and operating expenses for the fund. In addition, $2.5 million in additional seed funding is recommended in the Amended FY 2000 Budget, bringing total available seed capital to the $5 million target. The Governor also recommends funding for full operation of the Yamacraw Design Center. In the Governor's Amended FY 2000 Budget, $200,000 is provided for the pre-design of a Yamacraw building to house design center staff, university and private sector researchers, and start-up companies.
Additional funding is also provided for marketing. The Governor's FY 2001 Budget includes $94,500 for a Technical Human Resources Recruiter to focus on tracking and recruiting existing professionals in Yamacraw fields.
The benefits to be gained from this substantial investment are farreaching. By 2005, this initiative aims to add 2,000 high paying
498

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

economic environment anchored in

knowledge-based industries.

Along with the funding for the

Georgia Research Alliance, discussed

below, this recommendation will

solidify Georgia's position among

technology centers. According to

the

American

Electronics

Association, Georgia leads the US in

the rate of high technology job

creation. In absolute terms, Georgia

is second only to Texas in the total

number of high tech jobs added.

Governor

Barnes

recommends a $34 million investment

in the Georgia Research Alliance

(GRA) in the FY 2000 amended and

FY 2001 budgets. The total

recommendation continues the

strategy of recruiting eminent

scholars, and providing them with

state-of-the-art facilities, equipment,

and the vehicles for moving products

from R&D to commercialization.

The FY 2000 amended

investment totals $32.9 million

($3,750,000 in state general funds,

$24.2 million in lottery funds, and $5

million of University System funds).

This recommendation includes $3.75

million to fund endowments that will

be used to recruit 5 additional

eminent scholars to Georgia, bringing

the total number of GRA endowed

chairs to 37. The scholars that are

recruited through GRA are not only at

the top of their respective scientific

fields, but they also have a keen

understanding of business. It is this

combination of strengths that

provides the impetus for economic

development and makes the eminent

scholar investment the key

component ofGRA's success.

The amended budget

recommendation also includes $3.9

million for facilities' improvements,

$2.5 million of which is designated

for the completion of the technology

development center at the

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

Environmental Science & Technology

Building at Georgia Tech.

As usual, the bulk of the

recommendation ($20.3 million)

concerns

the

specialized

instrumentation that enables the

collaborative research and

development that have been so

successful.

Although the Governor

recommends funds for all three of

GRA's focus areas (advanced

communications

technology,

environmental technologies, and

biotechnology) the majority of the

recommendation (67%) involves

biotechnology. Georgia's investment

in this burgeoning field has started to

yield dividends. A recent Wall Street

Journal article cited Pricewaterhouse-

Coopers data showing that venture

capital for Georgia's biotechnology

companies more than tripled in just

one year. This remarkable

development has catapulted Georgia

into the lead for the Southeast in

biotechnology venture investments in

1999. This type of success is often

credited to strong research,

mechanisms for pushing discoveries

from the labs to the market,

coordinated management, and venture

capital availability.

The FY 2000 amended

recommendation focuses primarily on

support of strong research. The FY

2001 recommendation, totaling

$1,050,000, emphasizes marketing

and management of research, along

with some venture capital.

Portfolio

management

includes determining the investment

mix, fostering collaboration among

the participating universities and

researchers, ensuring that the focus

does not veer from economic

development, and marketing the core

resources funded through GRA to

Georgia industry. The Governor

recommends $300,000 for these

crucial management and marketing

activities in state general funds in the

FY 2001 budget.

Technology development

partnerships are GRA's own version

of venture capital, allowing quick

infusions of small amounts of funds

into projects that approach

commercialization. The Governor

recommends $750,000 in state

general funds in the FY 2001 budget

for this purpose. In addition,

Governor Barnes directs the

University System to use $5 million

of internal funds for the construction

of a biomedical technology

development center at the Medical

College of Georgia.

The mechanisms for turning

R&D into commercial products

include the "venture capital" provided

through the technology development

partnerships, as well as management

and technology development centers.

The latter are based on the successful

GCAIT (Georgia Center for

Advanced

Telecommunications

Technology) model and, through an

arrangement with AIDC (the

Advanced Technology Development

Center at Georgia Tech), staffed by

experienced AIDC staff. In a related

recommendation (not part of the GRA

total), the Governor proposes

$375,000 in state general funds in the

FY 2001 budget to put additional

ATDC staff at the Biotechnology

Development Center in Atlanta. The

center is a partnership between

Georgia State University, Georgia

Tech, and Emory.

TRADITIONAL

INDUSTRIES

PROGRAM

Complementing Governor

Barnes' strategy to create a high tech

economy through initiatives such as

the Georgia Research Alliance and

the Yamacraw Mission is his

commitment to Georgia's existing

industry base. Governor Barnes

recommends $1.5 million in FY 2000

amended bonds for equipment in

support of research and a continuation

budget of $3,935,000 in FY 2001 for

the Traditional Industries Program

(TIP). TIP focuses on helping

Georgia's large existing industry base

in food processing, pulp and paper,

and carpet, textile, and apparel stay

competitive in the face of increasing

international competition and

technological change.

499

Because of the changes taking place in Georgia's industry base, especially in the pulp and paper and textile and apparel industries, Governor Barnes recommends that $100,000 in the program base be contracted for a study to determine the impact of TIP projects and to suggest future directions for the program.
In the food processing area, Governor Barnes recommends that $300,000 be transferred from TIP to the Georgia Environmental Partnership for environmental technical assistance to food processors. The Governor further recommends that $200,000 within TIP be redirected for food processing projects, to include a feasibility study and, if warranted, a business plan for a cooperative food processing plant in South Georgia. The proposed food processing plant would handle the region's excess fruits and vegetables that today go to waste. Instead, they would be processed to create value added projects for the growers.
GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERSHIP
The Georgia Environmental Partnership (GEP) is comprised of the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (p2AD) of the Department of Natural Resources, the Economic Development Institute (EDI) at Georgia Tech, and the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) at the University of Georgia. GEP's mission is to leverage the fmancial and human resources of its members to provide a coordinated delivery of technical assistance that promotes the adoption of technologies and processes that foster pollution prevention, energy efficiency, and environmental compliance throughout Georgia. GEP seeks to avoid duplication of services among state organizations while providing seamless environmental assistance to business.
As part of a larger environmental package, Governor Barnes recommends increasing the funding for GEP by $800,000,

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

including $300,000 transferred from

the Traditional Industries Program.

This increases the total funding for

GEP to $1.1 million.

In the technolo~ transfer

arena,

the

Governor's

recommendation includes $90,000 to

expand the regional environmental

networks, $60,000 to increase the

number of workshops and

conferences, and $70,000 for a pilot

project to foster sustainability

awareness and buy-in among business

leaders. The latter project is a

collaborative with the environmental

arm of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of

Commerce.

In the technical assistance

arena,

the

Governor's

recommendation includes $120,000 to

meet rising demand for on-site

assessments, $60,000 to grow the by-

product recovery program (much of

which benefits Georgia's agricultural

sector), and $100,000 to develop two

tools that can help companies to

become more sustainable (e.g. full-

cost accounting and environmental

management systems).

GEP efforts benefit all

Georgians by helping companies

become better stewards of the

environment. The companies gain

because often better environmental

management generates cost savings

and increases profitability. The

program has perhaps the greatest

impact on rural communities, where

closure of a company that cannot

meet environmental regulations may

devastate the local economy.

Funding for the Regents' portion

of Yamacraw, GRA, Traditional

Industries, and the Georgia

Environmental Partnership is shown

in the Research Consortium object

class in the A unit budget. Funding

for seed capital and ATDC is found in

the B unit budget.

OVERALL SYSTEM FUNDING

Governor

Barnes

recommends $1,585,133,398 in FY

2001 for the University System and

its attached agencies, not including

the pay raise package. This total

represents an increase in support not

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.

STATEWIDE

ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT The Georgia

Tech Research Institute (GTRI)

makes major contributions to the

state's economic growth through

research and development. GTRI's

economic importance stems from the

out-of-state research dollars generated

and spin-off companies created to

market GTRI discoveries. Current

and former GTRI employees have

developed at least 26 such companies.

The Governor recommends

$10,002,772 in state general funds for

GTRI.

The Center for Rehabilitation

Technology (CRT) is an established

interdisciplinary research and design

center devoted to applications of

technolo~ to alleviate problems of

human need, providing service,

research, and education under the

auspices of Georgia Tech. Governor

Barnes recommends $502,297 in FY

2001 funds to renovate the building

acquired by CRT for their Advanced

Wood Products Laboratory Job

Development Program.

The

Governor also recommends funds of

$43,264 for a portable body scanner

for this program. These funds will

allow CRT to implement their wood

processing

equipment-training

program and implement the initial

course.

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

500

processing plants are among the largest in the southeast and employ over 1,600 full-time and seasonal workers. Governor Barnes' FY 2001 recommendation for this agency includes additional funds for a water quality/coastal zone management specialist. The total FY 2001 recommendation for the Marine Extension Service is $1,621,022.
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech stimulates the formation of technolo~-based companies and assists in their growth and development. ATDC graduate companies employ over 4,000 people and had a 1999 combined income of over $330 million. Six companies graduated in 1999 and they expect at least seven to graduate in 2000. At the Georgia Institute of Technolo~'s Economic Development Institute (EDI), several initiatives continue 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-location, expansion or retention of companies by providing in-depth access to specialized technical assistance. Communities across the state use EDI's local impact analysis model (LOCI) to examine the fmancial impact of potential investments. ATDCIEDI funding in FY 2001 is $9,018,343.
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

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

portion of the FY 2000 Budget was

$1,407,280,159. For FY 2001, the

Governor

recommends

$1,397,395,170. Resident instruction

is formula-funded and places

emphasis on enrollment.

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

$176,772,228 in state funds for FY

2001.

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

fmdings.

One important research activity is

the Agricultural Technology

Research Program at Georgia Tech.

This program conducts a diverse

range of Agribusiness research

focused in five strategic areas of need

in the industry: automation,

environment, food safety (Hazard

Analysis and Critical Control Points),

worker safety and information

systems. Researchers continue to

explore the use of 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, food safety, poultry and

cotton production and developing

Worldwide Web pages to enhance

electronic information dissemination.

The total FY 2001 recommendation

for the Agricultural Experiment

Stations is $44,346,436. These funds

include a recommendation of

$397,110 to increase funds for

maintenance and utility expenses.

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 four new county agents and two assistants to aid in service delivery to
501

communities. The recommendation includes additional funds for the following positions: crops scientist, forage crops scientist, turfgrass scientist, poultry scientist, ornamental plant pathology scientist and a poultry and livestock pest management scientist. The total FY 200 I Budget recommendation for the Cooperative Extension Service is $36,081,555. This includes enhancement items of $179,628 to increase their funds for maintenance and utility expenses and $715,500 for the described positions.
The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics serves 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 FY 2001 recommended

REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services

budget for the hospital and clinics is

$35,139,071.

Since its establishment in 1982,

the

Georgia

Public

Telecommunication Commission

(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

millennium - 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. 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, newsletters, teacher's guides, lesson plans, Quality Core Curriculum correlation material, student activity materials, public service material, and 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 and college and

technical institution 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 FY 2001, $20,438,459 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 $2,800,000

in Amended FY 2000 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 processes over 16 million documents, maintains millions of taxpayer accounts and registers over 7.5 million motor vehicles.
TAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999, a total of
$12.5 billion in net state revenues were collected. 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 $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. Only 5 counties do not 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 125 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 only 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 June 1999, 124 counties had 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 is 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 7.5 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
with other enforcement agencies.
ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the Department of
Revenue has 10 divisions reporting to the State Revenue Commissioner. Each division has a role in the administration of tax laws lind the collection of taxes and fees. The divisions are:
Administrative Division. Internal Administration Division. Compliance Division. Information Systems Division. Motor Vehicle Division. Taxpayer Accounting Division. Income Tax Division. Alcohol and Tobacco Division. Property Tax Division. Sales and Use Tax Division.
ATTACHED AGENCY The State Board of Equalization is attached to the
Department of Revenue for administrative purposes only. The board provides for appointment and retention of hearing officers whose function is to hear and determine appeals by local governing authorities on issues relating to the disapproval of county tax digests by the Commissioner of Revenue.
AUTHORITY Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Strategies and Services

The Department of Revenue is responsible for the collection of$12.5 billion in taxes, processing 16 million tax documents, issuing almost $1 billion in tax refunds, and distributing over $1.5 billion to local governments each year. The pie graph below 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.
MODERNIZATION 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, $46,692,621 has been

committed to the process. In order to

continue the program at an aggressive

rate, the Governor has recommended

$23,074,773 in the FY 2000

Amended Budget and $4,902,668 in

the FY 2001 Budget.

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.

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 went on line in September

1999. In addition to the new projects, the department has completed the massive rewrite projects of several major systems. The rewritten projects have been implemented and tested to ensure Year 2000 compliance.
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 FY 2000 over 1,600,000 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.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services

RETURNS PROCESSING

The department receives and

processes millions of tax returns and

payments from individuals and

businesses each year. In FY 1999, the

department processed 8.2 million tax

returns and applications.

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 deposited directly into their

accounts. In FY 1999, over 211,000

taxpayers chose direct deposit as their

method of receiving a refund.

Processing returns that are submitted

electronically is the most cost-

efficient 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, is the leader in 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 FY 1999, the department experienced a 27% increase in electronically filed returns over FY 1998. More than 660,000 returns were filed electronically. During tax year 1999 the program will be expanded to include nonresident filers and part-year residents. This would allow taxpayers who move into the state, move out of the state or who in another state but work in Georgia to file electronically.
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. Refunds for electronic filing are normally issued within 21 days with an error rate of less than 2%. These efforts will reduce current and future manpower requirements, . provide convenient service, improve efficiency, reduce errors and improve compliance.
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. The Motor Vehicle Division processes nearly 2.4 million title applications, 7.5 million tags. The Motor Vehicle Division undertook the task of replacing the current tag and title system that had been in use since the late 1970's. The new system which went online on September 7, 1999 is called GRATIS, or Georgia Registration and Title Information System. The system integrated the processing of tags and titles into one system that has been deployed in 129 of the state's 159 counties. Of the state's 7.5 million vehicle owners, 85% of the owners have their vehicles registered in counties that are part of the new system.
To bring each of the counties online with one database in Atlanta that all users will update, the state provided more than $5 million to

procure the necessary hardware,

software and telecommunications

network equipment. The state also

developed an extensive training

program for the 1,200 county

employees and state headquarters

staff to master the new system.

GRATIS will reduce the time

that it takes to obtain a vehicle title

from 15 working days to 2 working

days.

The reduction was

accomplished by empowering the

county tag office personnel to

perform title processing tasks

previously performed exclusively at

the state headquarters. All law

enforcement personnel now have

access to vehicle ownership data that

is updated on a real time basis,

meaning as soon as the information is

entered into GRATIS, all enforcement

personnel can search and retrieve the

information instantly.

The long range goal of GRATIS

will be enhance the system to enable

owners to renew license plates via the

World Wide Web.

TAXPAYER BILL OF.RIGHTS During the 1999 legislative
session, one of the Governor's major initiatives that passed, was legislation that is known as the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. The initiative is designed to protect the right of individual property owners and improve the administration of property tax laws.
The department has begun the implementation process by including many of the points from the Bill of Rights in the new Appraisal Manual for County Appraisal Staff. Additionally, the department is conducting statewide investigations into any attempts by counties to circumvent the new by performing unusual and/or unwarranted increase in ad valorem tax assessments. Lastly, the department will have a stronger presence in the field to enforce the new tax laws by virtue of the new senior auditor and technology support that the Governor has recommended.

Allow electronic access and filings to the systems by the public.
Accept electronic payments for fees and fmes.
Post public information.

common stocks and bonds to

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 FY 1999, the commission conducted 52 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 8,943 erosion control plans under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975. Overall, 706,785 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, one 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 1 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 FY 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 FY 1997 and FY 1998, 3 resource specialists were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome, Statesboro, and Milledgeville regional offices. In FY 1999 and FY 2000, funds were provided to create the last 3 positions in the commission's Atlanta, Albany, and Athens regional offices. The 6 specialists now review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste management 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 now provides statewide coverage, the Governor recommends the fmal phase out of the County Conservation Grant program by redirecting the remaining $58,846 from the County Conservation Grant program.
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.
These dams are exempt from Georgia's Safe Dams Act, until November 1, 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 district sponsored structures identified as requiring maintenance upgrades, 20 are now complete, and an additional 61 are under contract with the appropriate local government entity. In addition, plans for upgrades on nine 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 26 dams identified as needing major structural upgrades, construction has been

completed on 2. Of the remaining 24, the next 8 priority dams are in various pre-construction phases. Two previous bond issues totaling $3.84 million have been dedicated to these structural upgrades.
The FY 2001 budget recommends providing $1~5,000 to continue maintenance upgrades. While the commission has not requested capital outlay funds for structural upgrades this year, it has submitted a projection of $7,460,672 for 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.
The commission is involved in other activities as well. 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. As the commission has growing demands for erosion and sediment seminars and workshops, the Governor also recommends in FY 2001 one position to coordinate, assistant, give presentations to aid in the commissions efforts.

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 oftheir 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 fmancial assistance to continue their education after high school.
For these loans, the corporation serves as the "guarantor" to the lenders. Iffor 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 fmancial need, the cost ofattending the school and other fmancial 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 throughout the 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 ofdependent undergraduate or graduate students to help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other fmancial 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
580

there is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their loans by working in the approved fields 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 848 loans in FY 2001 with the $4,251,455 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 $26,586,156 for FY 2001 will provide a $1,000 grant award to approximately 26,586 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 FY 2001, $68,000 in state funds will provide approximately 34 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 225 students will receive these grants in FY 2001 with the $337,500 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 $40,000 in state funds recommended for FY 2001 will provide loans to 4 students.
Georgia Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to students to attend North Georgia College and State University. Thirty-three high school seniors 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 124 students with the $739,412 in state funds recommended for FY 2001.
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 $60,500 in state funds recommended in FY 2001.
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 with the $513,712 state funds recommended in FY 2001.
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 SCHOLARSHIPPROGRAM The Helping Outstanding Pupils
Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program was initiated in FY 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.
Over the next two 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 of2000-a grade point average to qualify for HOPE will come only from core academic subjects (Englishllanguage arts, math, social studies, science and foreign language) instead of all courses. 2) Starting with the class of2001-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 144,552 scholarships with the $163,424,513 recommended.
The commission also administers the lottery funded Teacher Scholarships ($3,500,000), Promise Scholarships ($975,000), Georgia Military Scholarships ($839,784), Law Enforcement Dependents Grants ($232,330), and Engineer Scholarships ($600,000).
Beginning in school year 2001-

GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services

2002, significant improvements will be made in the HOPE scholarship program. First, Governor Barnes recommends that, beginning with FY 2001, the Pell grant offset will be removed for students seeking degrees, or diplomas at eligible colleges or technical institutes. The scholarship amount each student receives will be the cost of tuition, eligible fees, and a book allowance, leaving those students who are eligible for a Pell grant the opportunity to use their Pell funds towards the cost of their room, board and other expenses.
Second, Governor Barnes recommends that sophomores in the HOPE scholarship program whose average drops below a "B" average will be eligible to regain HOPE for their senior year if their cumulative grade point average (GPA) rises to a "B" average or better at the end oftheir junior year. He also recommends that seniors who had not previously qualified for HOPE but who attain a cumulative "B" average at the end of their junior year receive HOPE for their senior year. This change in policy will encourage junior level students to achieve academically in order to enter or re-enter HOPE as seniors.
Also recommended by the Governor for FY 200 I is a change to

the Promise Teacher Scholarship

program. Currently, the program

provides up to $6,000 in cancelable

loans to high achieving undergraduate

students (beginning the junior year

with a 3.6 GPA and continuing the

senior year) who aspire to be teachers

in Georgia public schools. The

Governor recommends that rising

juniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.2

will be eligible for a Promise

Scholarship.

The Governor further recommends

a change to the mandatory fee policy

under the HOPE scholarship program.

HOPE currently pays all mandatory

fees charged by a public college or

technical institute. Over time, the types

of fees charged to students and the

amount charged varies between schools

and fees charged have steadily

increased.

Governor Barnes

recommends placing a cap at individual

institutions that is based on current

activity, health and transportation fees.

Athletic and special recreation or

facility fees are not included in the cap,

but institutions will be allowed to

implement a HOPE eligible technology

fee ofup to $50 at research institutions

and $38 at four and two year

institutions. The cap at institutions that

currently have a $75 technology fee

will be based on the current amount.

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 ofinstructional programs offered, ethical and business practices, health and safety, and fiscal responsibility.
The commission's staff conducts audits and reviews ofthe 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 fmancial 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.

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, 1999, there were 166 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, 1999, there were 549 local system retirees receiving COLA funds.

HIGHLIGHTS

$26,558,049 in state general and lottery funds to implement the fIrst phase of a fonnula for technical education, ensuring that technical institutes have the necessary resources to meet the state's workforce needs. The instructional part of the fonnula is credit-driven, and generates $7,349,156 in state general funds for state technical institutes. The operating part of the fonnula is based upon cost/square foot, and requires a $1,254,986 increase in state general funds. Another $12,500,000 in lottery funds represents the state's cost share in a fonnula to replace obsolete equipment, meeting the technical institutes' needs for instructional equipment. Finally, using a fonnula similar to the one used for Regents, $5,453,907 in state general funds is provided for technical institutes to handle major repairs and rehabilitation on a routine basis.
$2,475,000 in state general funds to increase technical institutes' capacity to train workers for the critical infonnation technology fIeld. This is a new initiative with Microsoft.

$2,085,368 in state general funds to operate, support, and implement the PINES (Public Infonnation Network for Electronic Services) Integrated Library System, a system that tracks books and materials in the public library system. When fully implemented, PINES will equalize access to library resources across the state.
$737,289 in state general funds to increase base funding for Quick Start.
700,459 in state general funds for part-time adult literacy teachers.
$491,101 in state general funds for central office programming and help desk support for SAMSON, the public library system's new accounting system.
$311,968 in additional funds for public library materials' acquisition, increasing the population-driven fonnula from $0.56 per capita to $0.60. This is the fIrst increase since FY 1994.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- FY 2001 Budget Summary

GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDAnONS

ENHANCEMENT FUNDS

ENHANCEMENTS 1. Provide initial enrollment-driven formula funding for personal services and operating expenses related to technical education. The agency is to use some of this increase to create a useful life database for equipment and to ensure that its data collection and accounting systems meet the needs of the current and future formula versions. The initial formula represents a fIrst step towards a more refmed, more permanent formula. 2. Fund start-up costs related to information technology certifIcation programs at state technical institutes and Gwinnett Tech. 3. Increase the number of part-time adult literacy teachers. 4. Fund a study of the feasibility of integrating the PINES integrated library system with the University System and technical institute libraries through GALILEO.

8,604,142
2,475,000 234,250 100,000

CAPITAL OUTLAY 1. Implement formula funding for major repairs and rehabilitation based on 1% of square footage (5,985,003) multiplied by $96.64 per square foot, less the amount already in the adjusted base ($330,000) in the Capital Outlay sub-object class "Minor Repairs and Renovations," renamed "Major Repairs and Rehabilitation." The formula amount is expected to cover projects under $1 million, with the types of projects eligible for funding to be approved by the Office of Planning and Budget.

5,453,907

TOTAL ENHANCEMENT FUNDS

16,867,299

TOTAL STATE GENERAL FUNDS

280,984,850

LOTTERY FUNDS

1. Begin initial formula funding for replacement of obsolete equipment based on a state cost share of 10% of the original acquisition price of inventoried equipment. The total formula amount is $20,700,000. The agency is expected to raise some of or all the difference between the state contribution and the full amount. This is an interim formula which may be changed in subsequent years. In particular, the useful life database for inventoried equipment, to be implemented by DTAE, will provide more formula options to consider.

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 FY 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 locally governed 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 fulfills overall
administrative roles for the Central Office and the 33 technical institutes. These activities include budgeting, accounting, purchasing, asset management, personnel, information technology, public information, facilities management, legal services, planning, and evaluation.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION The Office of Technical Education provides leadership,
technical assistance, and coordination to the 33 technical institutes and 4 college technical divisions. Focus areas include instructional support services, special services, student support services, workforce development initiatives, and performance accountability. This office is also responsible for joint planning and coordination with other public agencies and organizations to provide Georgia citizens with a seamless education system assuring smooth

transitions from secondary to postsecondary education, to work and beyond.
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,through its network of37
service delivery areas throughout the state, promotes and provides adult basic education and literacy programs, including the General Educational Development Testing program that awards GED diplomas. The office is the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education adult literacy funds. It is also the largest adult literacy provider for other state agencies and facilitates collaboration among state and local entities to improve literacy efforts for adults needing basic, English literacy, or specialized skills instruction.
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 assists public libraries in providing access to information, library materials, and enriching learning activities for people of all ages. It administers state and federal funds, and provides:
consultation and advice to the library community and local users.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION
Strategies and Services

Georgia's technical institutes are

continuing to experience steady

enrollment growth, with a credit

enrollment of 93,431 in FY 1999,

51% of which was part-time

enrollment. The Department of

Technical and Adult Education

(DTAE) continues to place high

priority on initiatives with high

schools and with Georgia's colleges

and universities, striving to make the

transition from one system to the

other as seamless as possible. DTAE

was an active participant in the

Governor's Education Reform Study

Commission (GERSC), in particular

on the funding and seamless

education committees. Several of

Governor

Barnes'

budget

recommendations for the department

stem from GERSC initiatives.

FORMULA FUNDING When Governor Barnes took
office, he made a commitment to DTAE that adult technical education would be funded based on an enrollment-driven formula, like the other two major education agencies. The development of such a formula became one of the charges to GERSC, and resulted in a preliminary formula to be implemented with the FY 2001 budget.
The initial formula is an

appropriation formula, as opposed to an allocation formula. This means that discretion for fund allocation remains with the board. The formula consists of a personal services component, an operating component, a major repair and rehabilitation component, and a component for the replacement of obsolete equipment. The formula should be considered only a fIrst step toward a permanent formula for adult technical education.
The personal services component of the formula is based on 5 weighted program clusters: general education! development, industrlaVscience tech, business, health, and public service. Each cluster generates a different dollar amount per credit hour. The formula is set up so that FY 1999 credit hours generate FY 2001 dollars. Based on these figures, the Governorrecommends $7,349,156 for state technical institutes. Gwinnett Tech experienced a drop in the clusters generating more dollars for its object class, and would lose money under this formula. The four Regents' programs lost total credit hours, and would also lose money. The Governor recommends holding Gwinnett Tech and the Regents' programs harmless for FY 2001.
The operating component is based on $4.74 per square foot, and

generates $28,373,669 for FY 2001. The Governor recommends $1,254,986 to annualize the operating costs of new facilities.
The major repairs and rehabilitation component is patterned on Regents' Major Repairs and Rehabilitation Fund. Based on 1% of DTAE's total square footage as listed in the Georgia Building Authority inventory (5,985,003), times $96.64 per square foot, this. formula generates an additional $5,783,907 for the department in FY 2001. The Governor recommends $5,453,907 in addition to the $330,000 already in the Capital Outlay object class for this purpose, fully funding the formula. This fund is to cover projects under $1 million in magnitude. Before the department allocates these funds, agreement must be reached with the Office of Planning and Budget as to what range of activities should be funded under this category. This is necessary so that these activities can be distinguished from normal, routine maintenance funded in the regular operating budget and from other capital outlay projects funded through the regular capital outlay budget process.
Finally, the obsolete equipment replacement component is based on the original acquisition price of all

inventoried equipment. The FY 2001 recommendation supports the department's $20.7 million request, and provides $12.5 million in lottery funds as the state cost share. These funds should meet all of the department's needs for nonconstruction related instructional equipment.
Further refmements of the formula should lead to greater sophistication. However, revisions depend upon the department collecting data in ways that support more detail. Specifically, future formula revisions are likely to take into account administrative versus instructional costs (which are now treated as equal), average costs versus (decreasing) marginal costs, cost variability for distance learning, performance, and a number of other issues. Because of these issues, parts of the formula will likely be in flux over the next few years. However, increasing credit enrollment should continue to yield additional funds for the department. This should ensure a steady stream of trained workers for the state.
NEW CONSTRUCTION Governor Barnes also recognizes
the need for new facilities to support the growing enrollment at technical institutes. The Governor recommends $75 million in bonds in the FY 2000 amended budget for new construction. The majority of the projects were funded for predesign last year, leaving 9 more in the pipeline for future years.
In addition to the $75 million, the Governor recommends $5,313,866 in lottery funds in the FY 2000 amended budget for equipment for construction projects mostly funded in previous years. This recommendation covers the part of the request that will be needed during FY 2001, based on current construction schedules.
COWETA CENTRAL EDUCATION CENTER
As part of the initiatives coming out of the Governor's Education Reform Study Committee (GERSC),

Governor Barnes is recommending $7 million in the Department of Community Affairs' FY 2000 amended budget for the construction of a wing to accommodate technical education for the Coweta Central Education Center (CEC). The Coweta CEC provides the Governor an opportunity to pilot resource sharing and seamless education concepts that the Seamless Education Committee of the GERSC supported.
The Coweta Central Education Center is a collaborative among Coweta County civic and business community groups, the Coweta County School System, Carroll Tech, State University of West Georgia, Clayton College and State University, Georgia Military College, DTAE, and

the Department of Education. The

idea for the center grew out of

concerns in the community about

dropout rates, the preparation of high

school students for the workforce, and

the number of technically trained

workers available for hire by local

businesses. The result was an

initiative with four aspects in

particular that makes it an ideal pilot

project for the GERSC.

First, the rallying of community

and education organizations around a

common cause is really what made

the initiative possible. The Central

Education Center appears to have

total community support, resulting in

real commitments to take the

initiative forward.

These

commitments include substantial

resources, such as personnel time and local construction funds.
Secondly, the needs of the business community are driving the curriculum for the Central Education Center. The initiative started out with a needs assessment, and plans have progressed based on the fmdings of that assessment.
Third, the initiative is a good example of resource sharing. The CEC will serve three high schools, with not only technical courses (most for secondary and postsecondary credit) but also hard-to-fill advanced academic classes. For instance, a single high school may not have enough students to warrant a class in Advanced Placement Calculus, but the combined demand from all three participating high schools may make the class a viable course offering for students. Furthermore, the CEC will offer an evening high school, adult basic education, GED preparation, and customized training. The building will rarely stand empty.
Finally, the collaborative is committed to the idea of seamless transition from high school to work and postsecondary education. The goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible for high school students to graduate from high school with not only a high school diploma, but also a technical certificate of credit, a diploma, or even a two-year degree. Through articulation agreements, some of the coursework will also count toward degrees at the State University of West Georgia and Clayton College and State University. That means that some high school students may earn triple credit for certain courses. They will also gain valuable skills through the work-based opportunities the CEC business partners have committed to providing. In addition, many business partners will serve as mentors for students and participate actively in school activities.
The four aspects outlined above show the strength of this pilot project. It is this strength and, in particular, the support the CEC and the Governor's education reform efforts

enjoy in the community, that make the initiative deserving of state funding. Governor Barnes intends to follow the progress of the Central Education Center closely, in order to fmd out if and how it could be duplicated elsewhere.

MICROSOFT CERTIFICATION

INITIATIVE

Recognizing the need for more

information technology workers, the

Governor is recommending

$2,475,000 for DTAE to increase its

capacity to provide training leading to

Microsoft certification. This initiative

puts a certified instructor at every

state technical institute as well as

Gwinnett Tech. DTAE is the national

pilot site for the Microsoft Academic

Professional Development Center,

which allows DTAE to train faculty

members to teach Microsoft

Authorized Academic Training

Program (AATP) courses to students.

Microsoft's AATP is a formal

technology training and support

program designed to equip students

with the skills needed for careers as

network

managers,

system

administrators, and application

programmers. The instruction is

intended to prepare students for

Microsoft certified exams. These

programs will be available to

technical institute credit students.

GEORGIA VIRTUAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
The Georgia Virtual Technical Institute (GVTI) continues to be a priority for Governor Barnes. Webbased instruction expands the availability of technical education beyond the confmes of technical institute facilities. In the fall of 1999, GVTI offered 93 courses and had a total enrollment of 779 students. This represents almost a 500% increase in students and a 440% increase in courses over the previous fall. Since GVTI generates credit, funding for this initiative is included within the formula.

ADULT LITERACY Even though the adult literacy
608

program enrolls increasing numbers

of students, Georgia's literacy rates

continue to lag. A study by the

National Institute for Literacy ranks

Georgia lOth in the nation as

measured by percent of population at

the lowest level of literacy. According

to the study, as many as 23% of

Georgia's adult population performs

at the lowest level of literacy. This

means that they cannot read a map or

fill out a simple form. A total of 54%

of adult Georgians perform at the

lowest two levels. Low literacy skills

contribute to poverty, welfare

dependence,

low

incomes,

unemployment, crime, and a cycle of

illiteracy that follows generation to

generation.

Illiteracy is a complex social

problem that requires solutions that

cut across agencies and involves

entire communities. The issue will be

one of many tackled by the

Governor's new Workforce

Investment Board. In addition, the

Governor recommends $700,459 for

DTAE to hire additional part-time

literacy instructors in areas of

particular need.

PUBLIC LIBRARY RESOURCES Materials' acquisition funding for
public libraries is built on a base grant to regional libraries in the amount of $3,600 per region, an additional $1,000 incentive grant to systems with more than two counties within that system, plus additional funding based on population. Each year this portion of the grant is adjusted for population changes within a system at $0.56 per capita. For FY 2001, Governor Barnes recommends increasing the amount of population funding for library systems to $0.60 per capita, bringing the total state funding to $4,809,721 for materials. This is the first increase to the formula since 1994.
Materials, of course, are no longer limited to books, magazines, and journals that patrons can check out. In addition to more traditional information sources, library patrons now have access to all the resources of the Internet and GALILEO

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services

(Georgia Library Learning Online), a statewide electronic library system.
GALILEO houses over 100 databases that index thousands of periodicals and journals, and provides access to over 2,000 journals in full text. GALILEO also includes an encyclopedia, business directories, and government publications, as well as links to Georgia law and many state agency home pages. In FY 1999, library patrons registered more than 360,000 "hits" on GALILEO, a 65% increase over FY 1998. Internet access is currently available at 157 of the state's library facilities. All remaining facilities should be connected by the end of 2001.
PINES INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM
The PINES (Public Information Network for Electronic Services) Integrated Library System began in FY 2000 as a way for 100 public libraries that did not meet Y2K requirements to become compliant. PINES has not only met its short-term goal, but has developed into a powerful tool that will give all citizens of Georgia access to resources in libraries across the state. The system is the means by which

books and materials are tracked and circulated to the general public. As libraries move forward in a 5-year plan to expand PINES to all 370 public libraries, the system will allow one centralized, Internet-based tracking system in the state for circulation, cataloging, interlibrary loan, acquisitions, and community information among others. This will give all citizens equal access to collections and information in all Georgia public libraries. It will also be a useful tool for school teachers to identify and access resources for students.
Because of its potential, Governor Barnes has designated $423,980 in the FY 2001 budget for technical support for further implementation and operation of PINES and $1,561,388 for support for the 100 libraries scheduled to begin using the system in January 2000.
PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
The FY 2001 budget recommendation also includes $491,101 to provide central office programming and help desk support for SAMSON, the Office of Public Library Services' new accounting

system. This system replaced the GENESIS accounting system that was outdated and did not meet Y2K requirements. SAMSON will be tailored to meet the accounting needs of public libraries and is Y2K compliant. Since DTAE did not have state funds for necessary maintenance and technical support services for SAMSON in FY 2000, the agency supported these functions through Y2K funds. For FY 2001, the recommended state funds for SAMSON will meet one of the Office of Public Library Services' most critical budget needs.

REPAIRS AND ~NOVATIONS

FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES

In FY 1999 a study was funded

to evaluate the condition of all 370

public libraries. Based on this study,

Governor Barnes recommends

$2,875,000 in bonds in the FY 2000

amended budget to cover 50% of the

cost for major repairs and renovations

at over 250 public libraries. Included

in the repair and renovation program

are carpet replacement, HVAC repairs

or

replacement,

structural

improvements, window repairs, and

roof repairs or replacements.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Roles and Responsibilities

The Department of Transportation plans, constructs, maintains and improves the state's roads and bridges; provides planning and fmancial support for other modes of transportation such as mass transit and airports; provides airport and air safety planning; and provides air travel to state departments. The department also provides administrative support to the State Tollway Authority and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority.
The department is governed by a board comprised of representatives from each of the state's congressional districts. The state representatives and senators from each congressional district elect that district's board member. The board in tum appoints a commissioner to lead the department.
The great majority of the department's resources are directed toward maintaining and improving the state's network of roads and bridges. Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally earmarked solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. Non-road and bridge construction projects are supported by a combination of state general funds, federal funds and local funds.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS The department's organization chart is based on
specific processes or responsibilities such as personnel, planning, engineering and construction. However, the department's budget is divided into functions that may include the activities of several organizational divisions. These functions are discussed below.
PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION - Plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this overall responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multi-modal transportation plan and long-range plans for urban areas; maintain an approved construction work program of priority projects; perform location and environmental studies; conduct mapping and photogrammetric surveys; acquire rights-of-way necessary to construct and maintain highways; supervise all construction and maintenance activities let to contract; ensure the quality of materials used in construction; and conduct research to improve planning and engineering methods.
MAINTENANCE AND BETTERMENTS - Responsible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal of this function is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by programming and supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects let to contract; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance such as emergency repairs; making spot improvements and

safety modification; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement failures, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; operating and maintaining state visitor information centers; issuing permits for special vehicles such as oversized and overweight carriers; and enforcing Georgia's special vehicle regulations.
ADMINISTRATION - Provides executive management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions for the department.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT - Used as a separate budget function for new and replacement equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's various operations.
INTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES - Provides funding and administration of public transportation programs, Le. buses and vans, provided under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964; provides funding and administration of light density rail rehabilitation and for the , construction and signage of statewide Park and Ride lots; provides departmental financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance and other services as needed; maintains and updates the state airport system plan; publishes and distributes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and provides management assistance and technical expertise to local governments to develop, maintain and improve scheduled air service.
AIR TRANSPORTATION - Operates aircraft for use by state officials in conducting state business and also performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or road and bridge improvement.
HARBOR MAINTENANCE - Concerned with the department's role with assisting Chatham County, designated as the local assurer, in fulfilling its responsibility for the provision and maintenance of lands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer.

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 strategies

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 transportation

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 ofroads.

FEDERAL IDGHWAY FUNDING In September of 1998, Congress
passed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century - called TEA-21. The federal funds authorized for Georgia include over $5.5 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, 18% of the total authorization for Georgia is being allocated for FY 2000 and another 18% will be allocated for FY 2001. For FY 2001, this equates to major increases in federal highway funds of over $100 million from the FY 2000 level of$835 million.
MASS TRANSIT / PASSENGER RAIL
New initiatives for mass transit and rail projects include a recommendation of $5,929,902 in state general funds in DOT's budget to match over $48 million in federal Mass Transit Grant funds for buses and bus-related facilities. These funds will allow the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to purchase approximately 62 natural gas-powered buses. Additionally, Cobb Community Transit will be able to purchase 10 natural gas-powered buses and several paratransit vehicles. Gwinnett County will be able to continue the start-up of its bus system by establishing the Gwinnett Place transit center. Chatham County will replace buses, construct a downtown transit transfer center and initiate ferry service to Hutchinson Island.
The FY 2000 amended budget for the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority includes a recommendation of $2 million in cash for the purchase of buses for the Clayton County Transit System. These funds will be matched with $8 million in federal funds. Taken with the mass transit grant recommendations in DOT, the metropolitan Atlanta region will see a significant increase in the number of natural gas-powered buses that should help to alleviate the region's traffic and air quality problems.
The Governor's budget also recommends total funding of

$6,805,000 in cash and bonds in the

FY 2000 amended budget to advance

the development of a passenger rail

system. Specifically, the Governor

recommends $5,905,000 in bonds to

initiate construction activities for the

Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger

Terminal. These funds will be

matched with federal funds of

$23,620,000, and represent the first

installment of a 3-year funding cycle

for the construction of this facility.

The estimated total construction cost

will be $195 million.

The Governor also recommends

$650,000 to contract planning,

engineering

and

program

management functions related to the

initiation of passenger rail service.

These funds are complemented by an

additional $650,000 that has been

recommended in the amended FY

2000 budget for the Georgia Regional

Transportation Authority (GRTA).

The use of this total funding of $1.3

million will be coordinated by the

department, GRTA and the Georgia

Rail Passenger Authority through the

inter-agency program management

team to bring the dream of passenger

rail service into reality.

Additional recommendations

reflect and recognize the importance

of freight rail to the state and its

economy. The FY 2000 amended

budget recommends $550,000 to

update the state freight rail plan and

program of projects, last updated in

1989. The amended budget contains

a total of $5.6 million to acquire

strategic rail line segments between

Ellijay and Tate ($3 million in bonds),

Vidalia and Hester ($500,000 in

bonds), and Preston and Rochelle

($2,100,000 in cash).

The Governor is also

recommending that additional funding

be appropriated to the Georgia Rail

Passenger Authority to continue

implementation of the commuter rail

and inter-city rail plans started in FY

1998. The amended FY 2000 budget

provides $263,500 to cover the costs

of increased authority personnel and

connectivity between the MaconAtlanta rail line and Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. The FY 2001 budget recommendation provides an increase of$152,828 over the authority's FY 2000 budget, due to the staff and operating costs associated with the establishment of regular office operations.
Commuter rail, inter-city passenger rail, and improved mass transit offer a long-term strategy for addressing metro Atlanta's air quality and traffic problems. 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 connec~ions 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 FY 2000, approximately $930 million worth of construction contracts is budgeted for 4,450 miles of state roads at an average expenditure of $210,000 per mile of road improvement. In addition, 115 bridges are expected to be let to contract in FY 2000.
Improved highway facilities are necessary to encourage continued economic growth. One of the department's 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, when complete, will add 2,697 miles of four-lane highways across 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 $100 million in bonds for the FY 2000 amended budget to continue funding for GRIP initiatives. As of December 1999, 1,515 miles or 61% of all GRIP corridors have been completed or are under construction.

AIRPORT AID

The state airport system is

defmed in terms of its capacity and

capability to serve the needs of the

general aviation industry. The degree

of success of Georgia's public

airports is a direct function of the

capability of the airports to meet

existing and future aviation mobility

needs. If the needs are well served,

regional and local economies will

have a broader window of opportunity

to be strengthened and revitalized.

By virtue of the benefits from

activities associated with the use of

aviation and aviation-related services,

more areas of Georgia will have a

competitive advantage in attracting

industry and stimulating long-term

economic

development

in

communities that might not otherwise

have had opportunities for growth.

The department's Airport Aid

program provides state funding

assistance for capital improvements

and for the maintenance of

operational and safety requirements at

Georgia's 103 publicly-owned

airports.

Projects include

construction of new or extended

runways, taxiways, aircraft parking

aprons, and new lighting systems.

The program also addresses critical

airport needs such as pavement

maintenance, obstruction removal,

and visual and electronic navigational

approach aids. State general funds

are used to match federal and local

funding for projects which enhance

623

local development and improve the state's transportation infrastructure.
A January 1999 pavement management study of 94 general aviation airports identified a funding need of $20 million. The Governor is recommending $1.5 million in cash in the FY 2000 amended budget for pavement maintenance at publiclyowned airports. This amount will be supplemented by tobacco settlement funds through the Governor's rural development initiative for rural airport projects.
The Governor is also recommending $125,000 in state funds in the FY 2001 budget to update the Statewide Airport System Plan. These funds represent 10% of the total cost of this project, and will be matched with $1,125,000 in federal funds. The current plan's base year is 1992. Once updated, the plan will provide the people of Georgia with a plan for aviation development that maximizes transportation benefits while minimizing the level of social, environmental and economic costs.
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 $8,700,000 in bonds in the FY 2000 amended budget for needed harbor maintenance projects. Among these projects are: $5,500,000 to continue erosion protection work at Jones/Oyster Bed Island; $3,000,000 to raise harbor dikes in area 14B; and $200,000 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 667,000 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 informing 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. This function is 100 percent federally funded and employs seven staff.

Furnish information 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.
AUTHORITY Title 38-4, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; Chapter 36, Title 38, United States Code.

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 475-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres ofland. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (i.e. building limited to simple lodging). There are 375 skilled care beds and 100 beds in the domiciliary unit. 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 209 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 confIrmation 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 term.
The Department is required by law to:
Generally promote and protect the rights of Georgia veterans under all state and federal laws.

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 46 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

FY 1999, the department processed 644,320 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 660,000 in FY 2000.
GEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME - MILLEDGEVILLE
In FY 2000, 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 FY 1997, residents of the I home have reported significant improvements in the quality of care 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) ofthe skilled nursing patients has also increased significantly. In FY 1989, approximately 40 percent ofthe skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 69 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 ofindependence 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 FY 2000, this facility will provide an estimated 64,240 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 FY 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 November 2000.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Roles and Responsibilities

WORKERS' COMPENSATION LAW Most Georgia employees are covered by the state's
workers' compensation law. Before this law was passed, employees might not gain benefits from employers when they were injured on the job. The law now ensures employees certain benefits paid to them as a result of on the job injuries. The same law also then provides employers with a form of limited liability from these injuries.
The state's workers' compensation law applies to all employers that have at least three full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt, however, including: federal employees, railroad workers, farmers, domestic servants, business partners, independent contractors, and some corporate officers.
The state created the State Board of Workers' Compensation to oversee the workers' compensation law. It may create rules, regulations, and policies to enforce this area of law. The Board is also vested with the responsibility of conducting training seminars that educate employers about workers' compensation law changes and other related issues.
If either the employer or an employee involved in a workers' compensation claim wishes to contest the facts involved in the case, an administrative law judge under the Board or a Board mediator may be used to settle the issue. Either party disagreeing with this ruling may appeal the decision through the state superior or appellate courts, but that avenue may only be used to, debate points oflaw, not facts ofa case.

If a claim does not need a full hearing, the alternative dispute resolution section may handle it. If the case is not eligible for this, then it would head to the trial section.
The claims process division maintains the filing system used by the board. The administrative services division performs accounting and personnel functions for the central and regional offices. The fraud/compliance division investigates worker's compensation fraud and issues of non-compliance.
Other divisions under the board include: managed care and rehabilitation; licensure and quality assurance; and insurance issues.
AUTHORITY Title 34-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.
State Board of Workers'
Compensation
Office Locations

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The board consists of three directors, one of which is
a chair, all appointed by the governor. Each serves for a term of four years. The board acts in a quasi-judicial manner, as well as in an administrative and regulatory fashion.
Underneath the board is the legal division. This division reviews requests for hearings and conducts them in disputed cases. The division's screening and administration section processes claims sent to the board.

STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Strategies and Services

After its establishment in 1920 by the Georgia General Assembly, the responsibility of the State Board of Workers' Compensation has grown to overseeing workers' compensation matters for 187,000 employers and almost four million employees.
Funded by assessments from insurance companies and self-insured employers, the board ensures that employees injured on the job who are eligible for replacement of a portion of lost wages, medical payments, or vocational rehabilitation service, receives them, while at the same time providing a limited liability coverage for employers.
Several new strategies have been implemented by the state over the past decade in order to improve the services delivered by the board.

MANAGED CARE

If employers choose to, they may

pick a managed care organization as

the deliverer of medical service to

their injured workers.

The

organization they choose must be

certified by the board, which has the

statutory authority to issue

certification.

In order to be certified, a

managed health care plan will

include: fmancial incentives to

reduce service costs and utilization

without sacrificing the quality of

service; adequate methods of peer

review; service utilization review to prevent inappropriate or excess treatments; and efforts to promote services that contribute to workplace health and safety.
There are nineteen certified managed care organizations covering over 130,000 employees., Nearly every county in the state has a certified managed care organization.
Board surveys shows that 80% of doctors, employers, insurers, and employees who participated in certified managed care qrganizations have a positive view of the system.
I>octors value the increase communication provided by the managed care organization. Employees are pleased with the care when they are allowed to choose their authorized physician from the network. Finally, employers like the easier access due to the proactive education process.
The division overseeing medical care and rehabilitation is conducting seminars showing employers and employees the benefits of introducing managed care into their workers' compensation services.
ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Sometimes a disputed workers' compensation claim does not need to have a full evidentiary hearing. I>uring the mid-1990;s, the board

realized that these cases could be handled through a less costly mediation process.
The staff for this division handles approximately 500 cases a month, which previously may have gone to a full hearing.
Certain issues are addressed better in a mediation venue. These include: change of physician; approval of income benefits to an employee; provision of medical treatment; resolution of medical and attorney disputes; along with other issues.
With an average time of only forty-one days for a claim to be processed under this method, this section has shown cost savings to the employers and employees of Georgia.
FRAUD AND COMPLIANCE This section was created and
staffed in 1995 with a goal of educating and assisting parties involved in workers' compensation so benefits allowable under law are successfully received. To do this, the division conducts compliance checks while investigating and prosecuting fraud throughout the state.
The compliance section has officers located throughout the state. Each officer conducts approximately fifteen randomly generated, or in some instances complaint-based, checks a day.
Since it's inception, the section has found over 3,700 businesses not carrying the required workers' compensation coverage. These employers now carry the proper insurance for an additional 20,000 employees. Fifteen of these employers have been criminally prosecuted.
The fraud section has been granted law enforcement powers by the General Assembly and has issued 135 arrest warrants for workers' compensation fraud.

FY 2002 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 2001 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 2002 estimates oftheir redirection budget level and future operating costs associated with capital outlay projects. The table below is a summary of the agencies' Fiscal Year 2002 estimate of their Fiscal Year 2001 redirection budget level request.

IMPACT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE FY 2001 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 for ongoing agency expenses. For example, 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" financing using lottery, tobacco settlement, and cash revenues. Also, as completed capital projects become operational, there may be associated additional operating expenses. The following table summarizes the impact of the Capital Outlay Program on the FY 2001 Recommended Budget.

In summary, $899.3 million of the FY 2001 Governor's Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Program, representing 6.2% of the total. Details of funding expenses of major capital projects becoming operational are contained in the Department Summaries and Budget Highlights sections.

Also, as the major capital projects recommended in the FY 2001 and Amended FY 2000 budgets are completed, there will be additional operating expenses in future years. The total future additional operational impact of these recommended capital projects is estimated at $14 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.

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 (Le., 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 ~x~enditures to be recorded when the related fund liability IS mcurred. Contractual obligations for services that have not yet been performed and for goods that 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 FY 2001 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 Governor, 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; (6) Motor Fuel tax funds; and (7) Tobacco Settlement 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 fmalizing 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

727

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 that 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 upcoming 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 also established on June 30 after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. It is equal to 3% of the fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available. The Shortfall Reserve is the state's "rainy day" fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues during the upcoming 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 biIl 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 economic 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 consults with OPB staff in finalizing 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 biIl is introduced in the House of Representatives and first goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being voted 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

728

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 a hundred 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 FY 2001. The adjusted base consists of the FY 2000 Annual Operating Budget, less nonrecurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize the FY 2000 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 iIi 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.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TAX--A state excise tax of 50 cents per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax of 50 cents per liter of distilled spirits; an excise tax of 70 cents per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax of 50 cents per liter on all alcohol.
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 AMENDMENT-Revisions 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.
