Glossary..................................................................................................................................................366 GEORGIA ECONOMIC REPORT Overview As the State approaches the middle of FY 2007, the economic environment is one of slowing growth in the national economy. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee began a campaign of regular increases in the federal funds interest rate in mid-2004. This policy was aimed at heading off a flare-up in inflation as the economy grew out of the 2000 recession. The aim of that policy was to gradually bring real growth in GDP down to near its long-term potential. Long-term potential growth is a function of the growth in the labor force and productivity growth. This is generally assumed to be in the range of 3.25% real growth in GDP. The increases in the federal funds interest rate have successfully slowed the economy and inflation, which had shown signs of escalation, now appears to be moderating. The impacts of this policy are most evident in the housing market in which inventories of homes for sale are up, median prices are declining and housing starts and permits are down. The key issues for the national economy are the duration and depth of the housing downturn and the extent to which the downturn spills over into other sectors of the economy. The most likely scenario is that the U.S. economy moderates but does not slump into a recession. However, the risks of a serious downturn or recession are rising. Some of the factors currently supporting growth momentum in the economy include the decline in energy prices from peaks in the mid-summer period, a good business investment climate including high profit margins and high capacity utilization and solid growth in much of the world economy which promotes demand for U.S. exports. In addition, real interest rates, which are nominal interest rates adjusted for inflation, remain relatively low by historical standards despite the measured increases in the federal funds rate. Other indicators point to a more severe slowdown. The interest rate yield curve is inverted with long-term rates lower than shortterm rates. This has often been a leading indicator of an economic recession. Manufacturing has weakened. Initially, this weakening was confined to the auto and housing related sectors. However, there are some indications of a wider downturn in this sector. These conflicting indicators highlight the uncertainty and risk currently facing the national economy. The State's economy is expected to follow the general pattern of the national economy. In fact, growth in non-farm employment has moderated in recent months although it is still strong relative to employment growth for the U.S. as a whole. In addition to these potential macro-economic impacts, Georgia's economic outlook is also affected by uncertainty associated with key sectors of its economy. Delta Air Lines, a major employer, is in bankruptcy proceedings and is the target of a proposed acquisition. One major auto manufacturing plant has shut-down and the State's other major plant is expected to close in 2007. Other manufacturing sectors are also under pressure; for example, textile mills and apparel manufacturing. Acquisitions of Georgia-based corporations are in the works. While these events are of critical importance to the companies and their employees, it is important to keep in mind that events such as these are part and parcel of a dynamic, market economy. Moreover, each of these events represents a small part of the overall Georgia economy. 1 U.S. Economic Trends Overview The last U.S. recession ended in late 2001 and the economy has grown consistently from that low. Figure 1 below illustrates the improvement in the U.S. unemployment rate and the industrial capacity utilization rate since that time. The band on the chart highlights the duration of the 2001 recession. As these indicators improved, the Federal Reserve began a measured policy of regular increases in the federal funds rate. The rationale was that the economy was approaching full capacity utilization with unemployment falling toward 5.0% and capacity utilization increasing toward 80%. At these levels, the economy is considered to be at full employment, and, if economic growth were to continue to push capacity utilization higher and unemployment lower, the threat of escalating inflation would rise. The aim was to achieve a soft-landing in which the economic growth slows to its long-term potential, inflation remains low and a recession is avoided. Figure 1 Figure 2 below shows the overall slowing in GDP growth as higher interest rates have had an impact on the economy. Real GDP growth slowed in the last two quarters of 2006; falling to 2.6% in Q2 and then down to 2.2% in Q3. Figure 2 Figure 3 examines some of the detail underlying this growth slowdown. It shows the contribution of the monthly percentage growth from the four broad sectors of the economy. As shown, personal consumption spending slowed significantly from Q1 to Q2 and then made a moderate recovery in Q3 but is running at a relatively low rate of growth. Given that consumption makes up about 70% of the U.S. GDP, slow growth in consumption has a major impact on overall growth. 2 More dramatically, investment has slowed significantly over the three quarters and barely made a positive contribution to growth in Q3. Finally, net exports have varied between providing a boost to growth or a drag on growth over this period. Figure 3 Figure 4 examines more closely the change in growth due to investment activity. Figure 4 The key trend has been the large drag on overall growth due to the decline in investment in residential structures. At the same time, investment in equipment and software and in nonresidential structures has been reasonably strong. Investment has been a net contributor to GDP growth in three of the last four quarters. Given slowing growth in the broader economy, this could be a sign of excessive inventory accumulation which will cause a further slow-down as business attempt to balance inventory positions with demand growth. There are six key trends affecting the US economic outlook. 3 1. Severe slowdown in housing The downturn in housing in recent months has been dramatic as evidenced by several indicators of the national housing market. First, Figure 5 pictures the trends in sales of existing and new homes. Since peaking in mid-2005, sales have plummeted. Sales of existing homes are over 14% off their peak while sales of new homes are down by about 27% from their peak. Figure 5 A similar trend appears in housing starts. Figure 6 depicts the downturn in housing starts. The downturn in housing sales began in mid-2005. Housing starts responded to this downturn with a lagged effect. Housing starts began their decline in early 2006 and are down about 24% from the recent peak. Figure 6 Finally, housing prices have fallen in response. Figure 7 pictures the year over year percentage change in the median selling price of existing homes as reported by the National Association of Realtors. After rapid escalation in 2004 and much of 2005, the rate of price escalation began to slow. Price appreciation has turned negative in the second half of 2006. 4 Figure 7 The downturn in housing markets is having broader affects on the economy. First, lower construction activity reduces the employment level in construction and other housing related industries such as mortgage lending. Second, declining price appreciation and outright price declines reduce the wealth effect of housing. Homeowners have tapped into their home equity in recent years to fund personal consumption expenditures. A result has been that households have increased their debt obligations and reduced their savings rate. Figure 8 depicts these two trends. Figure 8 One area of concern is the implications of the recent trend away from the traditional fixed rate mortgage requiring twenty percent down payment combined with declining home values. This trend includes adjustable rate mortgages as well as more exotic mortgages which include characteristics such as limited or zero down payments and zero principle payments under certain conditions. These mortgages often have allowed homeowners to "buy up" in terms of purchasing a more expensive home and taking on more debt relative to the value of the home than traditional mortgages would allow. As long, as home values are rising and the homeowner's income comes up as monthly payments rise with adjustments in the interest rate, the mortgage works well. However, in an environment of falling home prices and slowing income growth due to weakening in the labor market, the stage could be set for a significant increase in foreclosures. In turn, this could cascade into further weakening of home prices and construction activity. 5 2. Slowing growth in personal consumption expenditures With the wealth affect of rapid home price appreciation evaporating, households are likely to begin firming up their financial situation. Thus, it is likely that households will begin to save more and pare back debt. This also means a drag on consumption growth. Figure 9 graphs the year over year percentage growth in total retail sales excluding motor vehicles and parts. As shown, the growth has slowed precipitously in the last few months. Figure 9 3. Moderation in energy prices Energy prices have been volatile in since Hurricane Katrina disrupted offshore oil and gas prices in September 2005. As shown in Figure 5, oil and natural gas prices had been on a long-term upward trend prior to this disruption. Rising global demand due to rapid economic growth in Asia had been a key factor behind this increase. Oil prices fell after the initial supply shock caused by Katrina but then spiked again in late spring and summer of 2006. Geopolitical risk in key oil producing regions around the world was the primary factor that drove prices to all time highs with crude prices over $70 per barrel. Since that time, oil prices have dropped sharply and are trading around $60 per barrel. Figure 10 The fall in energy prices will reduce the pressure on household budgets and provide some stimulus to consumer spending. 6 4. Interest rate yield curve is inverted Figure 11 depicts the interest rate yield curve for U.S. Treasury securities and its movements over the last five months. Over that time, the interest rate on 10 year Treasury bond has dropped 49 basis points while the rate on 3 month bills has dropped only 5 basis points. Note that the starting point, the yield curve the week of July 21, 2006 was already inverted so that these moves have only increased the degree of inversion. Figure 11 Weekly Interest Rates on Treasuries 5.40 5.20 5.00 4.80 4.60 4.40 4.20 3 Month 6 Month 21Jul06 2 Year 22Se p06 10 Year 24Nov06 20 Year An inverted yield curve has often been a leading indicator of a recession. 5. Labor markets remain in good shape but there are some indications of weakening Despite the slowdown in growth, unemployment remains extremely low at 4.4%. As shown in Figure 12, non-farm employment growth has moderated but total employment continues to expand. Figure 12 Non-farm employment growth slowed from rates of growth near 1.6% but is currently stabilized near 1.4%. Thus, labor markets, as measured by unemployment and additions to non-farm employment remain solid. Some evidence is building up of weakening labor markets based on unemployment insurance data. Figure 13 shows that initial claims for unemployment insurance and continuing claims have both ramped up in recent weeks. This creates some expectation of softening in the labor market. 7 Figure 13 6. Manufacturing appears to be slowing Manufacturing is beginning to show signs of a broader slowdown. Figure 14 shows new orders, shipments and the unfilled orders backlog for manufacturers. As shown, both new orders and shipments have declined in recent months. Figure 14 While much of the weakness is concentrated in the auto and housing-related materials sectors, new order activity suggests that the decline is broadening. Summary and Outlook The most likely scenario for the U.S. economy is for continued moderate growth. The economy currently is near capacity with unemployment running well-below 5% and capacity utilization over 80%. Georgia Economic Trends Georgia's economy has performed well over the past year enjoying strong growth in employment. However, the slowdown in the U.S. economy is expected to feed into the Georgia economy. In fact, some signs of slowing growth are already apparent. As shown in Figure 15, non-farm employment growth has moderated from in excess of 2.5% on a year over year basis to about 1.9%. Note that Georgia's employment market continues to expand more quickly than that of the U.S. as a whole. 8 Figure 15 In addition, there has been a slight increase in unemployment insurance claims in recent weeks, similar to the U.S. However, it is likely that some of the increase in initial claims is associated with the closing of the Ford Hapeville assembly plant at the end of October 2006 and, thus, may not suggest broader weakening in the Georgia labor market. Figure 16 shows the recent trends in unemployment insurance claims in Georgia. Figure 16 Georgia's non-farm employment situation reflects in part the on-going transition as the State increasingly integrates into the global economy and adapts to other structural changes in the economy. Figure 17 summarizes the net percentage change in payrolls for major sectors of Georgia's economy over the period January 2001 through June 2003. 9 Figure 17 Non-farm Employment - % Change Jun 03 over Jan 01 -30.0% -25.0% -20.0% -15.0% Governm ent Other Svcs Le is ur e Ed & Health Pro & Bus Svcs Financial Inform ation Trans & Utilities Re tail Whole s ale M anufactur ing Cons tr uction Total -10.0% -5.0% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% Job losses were spread across most sectors of the economy including construction, manufacturing, retail & wholesale trade, information, professional services, transportation and utilities, and other services sectors. Job gains were limited to a few sectors including leisure, education and health, and financial. These job losses reflect both the cyclical downturn and the rise of global competition. Global competition has negatively impacted manufacturing employment in the U.S. and Georgia as producers look to squeeze out any production costs possible by shifting production overseas and low-cost foreign producers claim a larger share of the global market. In addition, the retail sector has gone through significant restructuring in which smaller retailers have difficulty competing with larger retailers with more efficient operations. This tends to reduce employment in the retail sector. Other sectors have also seen increased outsourcing of jobs to offshore locations which impacted employment levels. Despite these challenges, employment growth has recovered well in Georgia. Figure 18 depicts the change in employment in Georgia from the trough in June 2003 through October 2006. This chart indicates that employment growth has been broad-based spread across almost all sectors of the economy with particular strengths in education and health, professional services, leisure and construction. Manufacturing employment has been almost stable over this period. The information sector, which includes telecom, remains weak.

Figure 19 compares housing starts in the U.S. to Georgia. The data are expressed in percent change over the prior year on a three month moving average basis. As shown, starts are down substantially but the decline in the U.S. is much more severe than in Georgia Figure 19 The milder downturn in housing starts is consistent with the relative price escalation in home prices in Georgia compared to the U.S. The rationale is that since Georgia did not experience the rapid price escalation enjoyed in many markets, there is less speculative excess to work out in the Georgia market. Thus the downturn should be milder in Georgia compared to the U.S. and especially to the regional markets that experienced the highest price appreciation rates. Figure 20 compares median prices in Georgia to those of the U.S. as a whole as reported by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. Figure 20 Personal income growth has also shown some signs of slowdown. As shown in Figure 21 Personal income growth hit a recent peak in the fourth quarter of 2005 and has moderated since that time. Moreover, personal income growth in Georgia has fallen below the comparable growth for the U.S. in the last two quarters. 11 Figure 21 The acceleration in growth in FY 2006 resulted in accelerating growth in tax revenues in that fiscal year. The emerging economic slowdown the nation and the state are now experiencing is also slowing revenue growth. Figure 22 shows monthly growth in tax revenues as reported by the Georgia Department of Revenue on a three month moving average basis.

Summary In contrast to last year at this time, Georgia's economic growth is moderating. Currently, employment growth remains well above that of the U.S. but personal income growth is currently running more slowly than U.S. growth. Assuming the current outlook for stable but moderate growth in the U.S. economy plays out, Georgia's economy should follow-suit. In the short-term, Georgia's economy is faced with digesting the loss of manufacturing jobs associated with plant shut-downs and acquisitions of large companies based in the state. However, given the size of the State's economy and the on-going growth in businesses and associated employment, the State's economy should be able to absorb these losses while maintaining its growth momentum. The major risk to the near-term outlook is a more severe than anticipated slowdown or outright recession in the national economy. 12 FY 2008 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS EDUCATED GEORGIA Governor Perdue continues to place needed resources into education from Pre-K to higher education. This commitment to education is based on his belief that by preparing Georgians for the challenges of this new century they can realize the American dream of ever expanding opportunities and a better life. This budget demonstrates the state's dedication to education by funding enrollment growth in all levels of education: Pre-K, K-12, and higher education. In addition, funds have been included to expand the graduation coach program from high school to middle school as part of the concerted state effort to reduce the number of high school dropouts. Significant funds are also committed to major capital projects, to deal with the major enrollment growth in education. Facilities are recommended to insure that classrooms will be available for Georgia students from the time they enter kindergarten to the time they are pursuing college. EARLY CARE AND LEARING $12,693,598 in lottery funds to fund enrollment growth, increasing the total number of slots in the Pre-Kindergarten program to 78,000. STUDENT FINANCE $658,912 to expand GAcollege411 marketing efforts and to provide 4 financial consultants to educate students, parents, counselors and graduation coaches about the resources available through GAcollege411. The goal of GAcollege411 is to increase access to college by helping students plan, apply, and pay for college.

This recommendation will address the critical shortage field of nursing by helping to recruit nurse faculty. $718,000 to support Georgia National Guard members and the families of wounded members by providing 125 additional Helping Educate Reservists and their Offspring (HERO) scholarships. $3,280,000 to increase Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG) from $1,000 to $1,100 per award to assist Georgian students attending private colleges and universities. K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS $152,589,582 to recognize a 2.65 percent increase in enrollment growth, bringing the total number of full time equivalent (FTE) students funded for FY 2008 to 1,607,836. The Governor also recommends an increase of $89,549,344 in training and experience for teachers.

Five new instructors are needed at the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf due to increased enrollment. The recommendation also includes funding for training and experience for teachers and for ongoing minor repair and renovations (MRR) at the 3 schools. Additional funding for travel is recommended for the Georgia PINES program to maintain services to parents of students with disabilities. $1,213,500 to expand funding of $100 gift cards to all classroom teachers to purchase classroom supplies. More than 105,000 teachers used these cards in FY 2007. The additional funds are provided for new teachers as well as to provide one card for every K-12 media center. $600,000 to expand the Teacher Success Model, an evaluation system based on performance standards and student learning measures. This model for teacher assessment will improve teacher quality by developing valid methods, tools, resources and training to support educators in assessing teaching practices. Funds will provide 4 new positions and associated expenses. $2,404,116 for Advanced Placement (AP) exams to recognize an increase in the number of students tested. The Governor also recommends an increase in PSAT funding for FY 2008 of $169,152 (in addition to $88,529 for Amended FY 2007.) It is anticipated that students will take 55,000 AP exams and 99,000 PSAT exams in FY 2007. $780,000 to begin JROTC programs at small rural schools to aid in dropout prevention. The funds will support 13 new programs across the state with enrollment of 50 students per program. $2,500,000 for incentives to encourage students to prepare for and take a college entrance exam. 13 FY 2008 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS $21,351,588 in additional funds to continue and expand the graduation coach program. This program began in FY 2007 as an innovative way to address the high school graduation rate. The graduation coaches identify students who are at risk of dropping out of school and develop strategies and interventions to help these students graduate from high school. The Governor recommends expanding the graduation coach program to middle schools.

The credit hours were generated by 259,945 students. Both numbers represent an all-time high for the University System of Georgia (USG). Enrollment Growth $190,000 to expand the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The SBIR office assists high-tech start-up companies across the state in securing federal seed capital funding for product development. SBIR anticipates a high return on investment in the area of leveraged federal funds over the next few years from the increased outreach efforts. $700,000 for the Agricultural Experiment Station and $300,000 for the Cooperative Extension Service is recommended to provide for ongoing maintenance and operating needs across the state. $10,000,000 additional funding for Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) to assist with start up. GGC is the first new college in the University System of Georgia since 1970. It will enroll its first freshman class in FY 2008. $3,838,996 to expand Medical College of Georgia course offerings to the Athens area. Currently, Georgia ranks 37th in the nation for per capita physicians. $1,707,623 to fund the recruitment of 20 additional Eminent Cancer Scientists and Clinicians. $4,083,333 for the development of a digital dashboard to provide real-time data on the state of cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment in Georgia. $17,500,000 in cash and $42,500,000 in general obligation bonds is recommended for Major Rehabilitation and Renovation (MRR) on USG's 35 campuses. The University System operates over 44,000,000 square feet. $10,000,000 to begin the Life Sciences Vaccine Initiative, a major thrust by the Georgia Research Alliance in establishing Georgia as a hub for vaccine research.

This recommendation includes a professional sciences center at Macon State College, School of Pharmacy building at the University of Georgia, a library for Georgia Gwinnett College and a health sciences building at Kennesaw State University. $500,000 is recommended to expand the course offerings at the University of Georgia-Griffin campus. Majors will include Special Education, Science Education and Adult Education. UGA-Griffin anticipates enrollment to grow to 175 students in FY 2008. $297,294 to increase the public library state grants formula based on an increase in state population. TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION $650,000 to expand the fast track nursing initiative. This funding allows technical colleges with nursing programs to expand course offerings to neighboring colleges that do not have a nursing program. The program anticipates placing over 100 new nurses into the workforce in FY 2008. $20,710,750 in cash is recommended for minor repairs and renovations and replacement of obsolete equipment. Previously, these items were funded with bonds. $52,980,000 in bonds is recommended for new construction projects and equipment for the technical college system capital outlay projects. This recommendation includes construction of health sciences buildings at both Athens Technical College and Columbus Technical College. $3,000,000 for adult literacy programs. HEALTHY GEORGIA Health care costs have become a growing component of state government spending. This budget allocates resources to preserve the security of health care coverage through the Medicaid and PeachCare programs. It is based on continuing efforts by the state in costs containment in both areas. These changes, which have saved over $4.2 billion over five years, have allowed Georgia to continue 14 FY 2008 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS adequate levels of health care services to children and those with low incomes. Also included is a funding increase in the State Health Benefit Plan, which provides health insurance coverage to active and retired teachers, state employees, and their dependents. Changes in accounting standards require the state to report the actuarial liability for retiree health insurance benefits. This budget begins this transition by placing $100 million in a separate account to fund Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB) for retiree healthcare for state employees. Governor Perdue has continued to care for the most vulnerable members of our society by funding additional slots for the Mental Retardation Waiver Program, as well as, additional positions for the Community Care Service Program, which allows elderly clients to continue to live at home. Georgia ranks 1st in the Southeast and 3rd nationally in vaccination coverage for children. The state's appropriation of funds to ensure that all children receive vaccines has increased Georgia's vaccination rate. Without this level of commitment there would be significant barriers to vaccination for Georgia's uninsured children.

Georgia has seen a rapid decrease in adult-only Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) clients. This decline results from dedicated efforts to increase employability through a variety of work assistance activities and a strong commitment to bridging the gap between initial employment and long-term career development. During FY 2006 several Georgia counties recorded instances of no active TANF clients. Georgia's TANF per capita adult-only caseload remains among the lowest in the nation. 50% CY02 CY03 CY04 CY05 COMMUNITY HEALTH $176,000,000 to fund increased costs in the State Health Benefit Plan, which provides health insurance coverage for active and retired teachers, state employees, and their dependents. $100,000,000 to fund Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB) for retiree healthcare.

This measure is often used as a standard by which state child welfare systems are compared.

Georgia has succeeded in reducing this level over the past three years to 5.7 percent, 0.4 points below the national standard. 9.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% Recurrence of Substantiated Child Maltreatment National Standard 6.1% 5.6% 7.2% 8.5% 6.6% 5.7% FY 2002 FY 2003 FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006 VETERANS SERVICE $1,050,000 in bonds for the addition of an Alzheimer's Unit at the Georgia War Veterans Nursing home in Milledgeville to serve an additional 24 patients. $1,575,000 in bonds to provide the state match for Federal funds for the Life Safety and Building upgrades in Augusta (Total Funds: $4,500,000). GROWING GEORGIA Georgia continues to be one of the fasting growing states in the nation with an increase of 2.5 percent between July 2005 and July 2006, the fastest growth in the South. Meeting the demands of an ever increasing population requires major investment in infrastructure maintenance and development. This budget provides a continued investment in transportation to improve highways around our rapidly growing cities and to spur economic development around the state. Support for local road construction remains at record levels. Growth demands that we continue to protect our environment and expand access to natural areas throughout the state.

This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. Current law provides that the reserve cannot exceed 10% of the previous fiscal year's net revenue. For each fiscal year, the General Assembly may appropriate an amount up to 1% of the net revenue collections of the preceding fiscal year for funding increased K-12 needs. In addition, the Governor has the authority to release funds from the reserve in excess of 4% of the net revenue of the preceding fiscal year. The chart for FY 2006 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2006 and does not include any funds used for mid-year K-12 adjustment.

The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10% of the prior year's total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations,funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage. Funds have been set aside for the Shortfall Reserve (10% reserve) each year and totaled $80,208,300 on June 30, 2006. The lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a second reserve account within the Lottery for Education Account be established called the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount. The scholarship reserve law requires a reserve equal to 50% of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year be maintained. The subaccount balance on June 30, 2006 totaled $223,220,798. The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2006 total as follows: Shortfall Reserve Subaccount $80,208,300 Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount 223,220,798 TOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES $303,429,098 36 SALARY ADJUSTMENTS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET - FY 2008 Description Amount Currently, Georgia is ranked 1st in the southeast for average teacher salaries. Governor Perdue continues to demonstrate his respect and appreciation for the hard work of teachers by providing a 3% pay raise for all teachers, which is in addition to the 3% salary increase that more than half of the teachers will earn due to progression on the teacher salary schedule. The Governor also understands that many teachers purchase classroom supplies out of their pockets, to ensure their students have the tools they need to learn. In recognition of this, the Governor is continuing to provide public school K-12 teachers in Georgia with a $100 gift card to buy much needed classroom supplies. Also, the dedicated faculty and staff at the University System and Department of Technical and Adult Education will receive a 3% salary improvement. Average faculty salaries in Georgia continues to rank near the top of SREB states and are nearly 98 percent of the national average. This increase will ensure that faculty salaries remain competitive. Recruitment and retention of talented State employees will always be one of the most important issues facing the public sector. Because we are faced with an increasingly competitive labor market it is important to ensure that our salaries and benefits remain commensurate with similar employers. The State commissioned a Compensation and Benefits Study which concluded that salary adjustments were needed in order for us to remain competitive. As a result of this study, the Governor is providing agencies 0.5% of total personal services to be used for market adjustments, performance incentives or equity adjustments. Additionally, certain job classifications that have been identified as more than 25% below market rate will be eligible for a supplemental salary adjustment. The recommendations put forth by the Governor in this budget are focused on attracting, motivating, and retaining a high performing workforce. The Governor's vision of becoming the best managed state in the nation can only be achieved by employing the best employees. Pay Package 1 Provide for general salary increase of 3% for employees of the Executive and Legislative Branches effective January 1, 2008. The proposed salary adjustment for Executive Branch employees will be in conformance with the compensation and performance management plans promulgated by the State Personnel Board or as otherwise provided by law. Provide also for a cost-of-living adjustment as provided by O.C.G.A. code section 45-7-4(a) and (b). Additionally, provide 0.5% of total personal services to be used for market adjustments, performance incentives or equity adjustments according to plans approved by the Georgia Merit System and the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget. $42,498,694 2 Provide for supplemental salary adjustments for certain identified job classifications to ensure that all incumbents hired as of January 1, 2008 are paid no less than 75% of the market as identified in the Georgia Merit System Compensation and Benefits Study. 3. Provide a 3% increase to the state base salary on the teacher salary schedule for the State Board of Education effective September 1, 2007. This proposed 3% salary improvement is in addition to the salary increases awarded to certificated personnel through normal progression on the teacher salary schedule. Provide for a 3% increase for bus drivers and lunchroom workers effective July 1, 2007. 4. Provide a 3% funding level for merit-based increases for Regents faculty effective and Regents non-academic personnel effective January 1, 2008. Provide a 3% salary increase for public librarians effective January 1, 2008. 7,544,270 186,559,040 23,709,863 5. Provide a 3% salary increase for teachers and support personnel with the Department of Technical and Adult Education effective January 1, 2008. 5,087,547 Total $265,399,414 Notes: The 3% salary increase is reflected in the agency financial summary and budget summary. The 3% salary increase total for teachers includes state and local five mill share funds. 37 SUMMARY OF IDENTIFIED JOB CLASSIFICATIONS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET - FY 2008 Departments/Agencies Critical Job Classification Title Banking and Finance, Department of Corrections, Department of Defense, Department of Driver Services, Department of Human Resources, Department of Investigation, Georgia Bureau of Juvenile Justice, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Safety, Department of Revenue, Department of Transportation, Department of Workers' Compendation, State Board of Financial Examiner Assistant Financial Examiner 1 Financial Examiner 2 Food Service Supervisor Mental Health/Mental Retardation Counselor 2 Food Service Employee 1 Driver Examiner 1 Program Assistant Nurse Licensed Practical Inpatient Nursing Assist, Certified Nurse (Inpatient) Nursing Assist Lead, Certified Nurse Practitioner Nurse, Public Health Nurse Specialist, Public Health Nurse Licensed Practical, Public Health Nursing Supervisor, Public Health Crime Lab Scientist 2 Food Service Employee 1 Administrative Operations Coordinator 2 Juvenile Detention Center Director 1 Nurse Practitioner Environmental Engineer 3 Environmental Engineer 2 Environmental Engineer 1 Motor Carrier Compliance Division Corporal Safety Officer 2 Communications Equip Officer 2 Police Corporal Revenue Agent 1 Equipment Operator 3 Equipment Operator 2 Maintenance Equipment Operator Equipment Operator 1 Engineering Technician Engineer 2, Design Engineer 1, Design Secretary, Legal Note: Job classifications were identified by the Department of Personnel Administration through the Georgia Merit System Compensation and Benefits Study. 38 SUMMARY OF AUTHORIZED POSITIONS GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET - FISCAL YEAR 2008 Departments/Agencies Accounting Office, State Administrative Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Banking and Finance, Department of Community Affairs, Department of Community Health, Department of Corrections, Department of Defense, Department of Driver Services, Department of Early Care and Learning, Department of Economic Development, Department of Education, State Board of Employees' Retirement System Forestry Commission, State Governor, Office of the Human Resources, Department of Insurance, Office of Commissioner of Investigation, Georgia Bureau of Juvenile Justice, Department of Labor, Department of Law, Department of Merit System of Personnel Administration Natural Resources, Department of Pardon and Paroles, State Board of Properties Commission, State Public Safety, Department of Public Service Commission Regents, Board of Revenue, Department of Secretary of State, Office of Soil and Water Conservation Commission Student Finance Commission, Georgia Teachers' Retirement System Technical and Adult Education, Department of Transportation, Department of Veterans Service, Department of Workers' compensation, State Board of TOTAL FY 2006 Actual 93 990 840 149 501 510 15,930 473 764 197 221 830 110 676 337 19,309 310 829 4,267 3,887 192 138 2,712 821 295 1,995 98 34,098 1,366 371 52 60 186 5,500 6,084 129 166 105,486 FY 2007 Budgeted FY 2008 Recommendations 93 992 840 149 513 507 15,542 473 799 197 224 900 105 687 349 19,404 310 837 4,375 3,890 192 133 1,854 821 295 1,996 98 37,972 1,365 462 61 60 187 5,500 6,084 134 166 121 976 840 149 516 529 15,749 519 849 197 231 909 97 687 389 19,404 310 858 4,675 3,894 221 133 1,859 827 295 1,998 100 38,378 1,377 462 61 65 187 5,500 6,084 134 166 108,566 109,746 39 COMMISSION FOR A NEW GEORGIA: SAVINGS OVERVIEW FY 2008 Background In 2003, Governor Sonny Perdue created the Commission for a New Georgia as an independent, privately-funded business-sector advisory council, working in partnership with state agencies to streamline government operations. The public-private initiative is aligned with Governor Perdue's goal to make Georgia the bestmanaged state in America. The Commission brings an outside perspective and enterprise thinking to the workings of state government and recommends business-tested tools and best practices to increase efficiency and effectiveness. Commission objectives are directed at best value for the tax dollar, operational cost savings that will free up funds for higher priorities, increased accountability and transparency in managing state assets, streamlined management capabilities through enterprise-wide systems, and customer-centered services. Initiative Since 2003, the Commission has launched 17 short-term task forces of private-sector experts and pro bono consultants to analyze administrative processes and modernize business systems and strategies. Particular interests have included asset management (fleet, space, and property), procurement spending and sourcing, IT architecture and tech support, public finance options, and accounts receivable. The Governor's Office of Implementation was established in 2004 to lead inter-agency efforts to put the initiatives into action. Results Of more than 70 Commission recommendations to date, 65 have been acted upon by the Governor's Office through Executive Orders and administrative directives. Cross-functional teams of agency administrators and staff have worked with the Office of Implementation to engineer operational innovations within departments and across the state. As of December 2006, Commission initiatives implemented in government have generated $13 million in estimated savings. (This does not include cost avoidance and proceeds from property sales used to renovate state office buildings.) Estimated savings are verified by an Internal Validation Committee established to substantiate dollar figures, methodologies and results. Members of the committee include the Governor's Chief Financial Officer, the State Accounting Officer, the Director of the Office of Planning and Budget, the Director of Implementation, and a private sector representative. The largest single source of savings is the Procurement Transformation Initiative, which is replacing piecemeal purchasing of billions of dollars in goods and services with a system of strategic sourcing that leverages the government's buying power to drive down pricing. An estimated $135 million in targeted savings is expected over the next four years. The main focus of the work is establishing new purchasing agreements in selected spending categories, phased in three waves. The initial wave of contracts, awarded in FY 2007 in five major categories, will yield approximately $15 million in first-year savings. Governor Perdue appointed Georgia's first State Property Officer and ordered the first statewide inventory of government-owned and leased properties: more than 19,000 buildings and 1,000 leases. Surplus properties have been identified for sale, and leases have been consolidated and renegotiated. The first-year savings on renegotiated leases totals $1.04 million. Available Savings Total savings resulting from Commission initiatives were distributed across agencies, and adjustments were made to break out the amount that represented state general funds only. Of the total $21.9 million savings, $6.7 million was identified in the Amended FY 2007 budget to redirect to other high priorities within agencies' budgets and $368,000 was eliminated entirely. As part of the budget process, each agency had the opportunity to propose plans for redirecting the savings to other priorities within their budget. As a result, agencies were allowed to retain savings within programs to fund projects that they identified as high priority. Some of these projects include: telecommunications and on-going technology needs; computer charges and software purchases; replacement of outdated computers, and increased real estate rentals. A portion of the savings was redirected to new initiatives and innovative projects. Examples include the Methamphetamine-force project in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, wireless broadband internet access for the Department of Juvenile Justice caseworkers, and the Clemency Online Navigation System for Pardons and Paroles. Details of the savings and redirections are shown by agency on the following chart.

These multi-faceted programs affect all Georgians as well as countless others throughout the United States and the world, wherever Georgia agribusiness products are consumed. ATHENS/TIFTON VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABS The Athens and Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Labs, which are attached to the department, ensure the safety of the food supply and the health of animals and people within Georgia by providing diagnostic support, investigative resources and disease surveillance for naturally occurring animal diseases, foreign animal diseases and bioterrorism. The labs address the concerns of veterinarians, regulatory agencies, animal owners, and wildlife groups regarding livestock, equine, and companion animals as well as wildlife. PLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The role of the Plant Industry division is to administer and enforce federal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, treated timber, boll weevil eradication and other related environmental protection programs. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to guarantee that the commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled. ANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION Animal agriculture is the largest sector of agriculture, contributing over $5.8 billion to Georgia's farm gate value. Assuring that the livestock and poultry sectors remain healthy and productive are the top priorities of the Animal Industry division. The division consists of veterinarians, field inspectors, laboratory technicians, program managers and support staff all working to ensure the continued protection of animal and public health by guaranteeing food safety, animal welfare and successful livestock production. The division is also responsible for monitoring, detecting and controlling over 100 animal diseases that can have a significant impact on the agricultural economy and can be contagious to both animals and people. Finally, the Animal Industry division ensures the humane treatment of equines and other animals and promotes dog and cat sterilization through its license plate program. The Meat Inspection section is the largest functional area of the Animal Industry division. The section licenses 163 facilities in Georgia and protects consumers from food-borne diseases found in meat and meat products. Meat inspectors ensure that consumers receive wholesome, safe and truthfully labeled meat and poultry products by assuring compliance with food safety standards. The section also has a primary role in food security and would serve as a first responder to an intentional threat to Georgia's meat supply. CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of the Food and Dairy section, the most important section in the Consumer Protection division, is to prevent the sale and distribution of adulterated or misbranded foods to consumers. This section conducts on-site inspections of grocery stores, focusing on food safety risk factors, and protects consumers against fraud by checking scanners and scales to ensure the accuracy of pricing and weights. Included in these responsibilities is a dairy inspection program for farms and processing plants, so that Georgia dairy products can be marketed as "Grade A" throughout the United States. The primary function of the Fuel and Measures section, another crucial function of the division, is to ensure equity in the market place by verifying the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices. The section inspects all measuring devices used for commerce by conducting on-site inspections and tests of commercial weighing devices including scales, liquefied petroleum gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals, and bulk plants. Included in these responsibilities is the operation of the state fuel oil laboratory and the state weights laboratory, both of which ensure that Georgia's regulated consumer products meet required quality standards. MARKETING DIVISION The Marketing division operates six regional farmers' markets and nine seasonal/local markets. This division collects and distributes market information on Georgia agricultural products, administers various marketing programs, and locates and develops new international markets for Georgia products. The Marketing division also provides supervision for the nine Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions. Additionally, the division enforces the requirements of the Dealers in Agricultural Products Act to license and bond those who purchase agricultural products from Georgia producers, as well as the State Warehouse section, which examines and audits licensed and bonded facilities that store Georgia agricultural products. Additionally, the division registers and licenses Vidalia onion growers, licenses processors of Vidalia onion products, and enforces the requirements of the U.S. Certification Mark VIDALIA. POULTRY VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABS The Poultry Lab Network is attached to the Georgia Department of Agriculture. As the official state agency for the administration of the United States Department of Agriculture's National Poultry Improvement Plan, the network carries out the national plan and provides diagnostic and monitoring services for Georgia poultry growers and the poultry industry. The labs' primary mission is to certify that flocks are free from devastating poultry diseases, including avian influenza; this ensures that Georgia has the healthiest flocks possible and can continue to produce more poultry products annually than any other state. The labs are headquartered in Oakwood with nine regional labs spread throughout Georgia.

DCA's three core businesses are safe and affordable housing, community and economic development, and local government assistance. SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING DCA supports Georgia communities in addressing their housing needs by offering funding and expertise to communities, non-profit and for-profit organizations, and individuals. The agency provides financing for affordable housing development, mortgages, and down payment loans for moderate-income first-time homebuyers and financing for housing for people with special needs. DCA's homeless and special needs housing programs support local programs that provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, essential services, and permanent supportive housing for persons who need community support in order to retain stable housing. The Section 8 Rental Assistance program provides rent subsidies to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families. COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DCA's community development programs help the state's communities realize their growth and development goals. The agency administers the federal Community Development Block Grant program, which provides over $30 million in grants annually to cities and counties outside major metropolitan areas in Georgia. DCA's community service programs deliver over $5 million annually in funding support to over 20 AmeriCorps programs located throughout the state. The Leadership Development team helps communities to design, develop, and execute leadership training programs, and coordinates the regional multi-day Georgia Academy for Economic Development in every region of Georgia. DCA offers economic development and redevelopment incentives and tools designed to help promote growth and job creation throughout the state. Economic development programs deliver over $50 million in grants and loans annually to Georgia. Grants or loans are available for infrastructure (for businesses creating or retaining jobs), brownfield redevelopment, site preparation, downtown redevelopment, and project funding for North Georgia Appalachian communities. Training, design, and technical assistance are also available specifically for downtown development programs. Planning and quality growth assistance is aimed at helping communities address issues of growth, development, and quality of life through implementation of recognized best practices for planning and growth management. This assistance includes advisory clinics, technical assistance, quality growth audits, on-site visits by resource teams, special issue workshops, and how-to toolkits. Additionally, DCA is leading the effort in developing the Coastal Comprehensive Plan as called for by the Governor's Executive Order issued in February 2005. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE Regional Services staff maintains partnerships with local, regional, state, and federal organizations and agencies, and facilitates community issue identification, goal development, and implementation of best practices. Regional field teams coordinate self-improvement initiatives such as the Main Street, Better Home Town, and Signature Community programs. The agency's Office of Environmental Management serves to integrate the importance of sound environmental management with the overall health and development of Georgia's communities, through such programs as the Governor's Litter Initiative, Keep Georgia Beautiful, Solid Waste and Recycling, and WaterFirst. These resources enhance the capacity of local governments and communities to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their residents through the sustainable stewardship of the environment and improvement in the quality of life for our citizens. The department administers local government surveys related to topics including finance, solid waste, and wages and salaries. It also publishes and maintains information and data about local governments and prepares local government fiscal notes for the General Assembly. ATTACHED AGENCIES The following agencies are administratively attached to DCA: Georgia Housing and Finance Authority, Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, OneGeorgia Authority, and the State Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless Commission.

The department works to ensure that quality health care services are provided to a wide array of individuals, including state employees, teachers, and retirees; and those citizens who are eligible for Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids by virtue of being aged, low-income, or disabled. The department is additionally charged with identifying and evaluating available options that would provide health insurance coverage for the estimated 1.7 million Georgians currently uninsured. A nine-person board appointed by the Governor has policy-making authority for DCH. The department has three major divisions: the Division of Medical Assistance Plans, the Division of Managed Care and Quality, and the Division of State Health Benefit Plan. DCH also targets health care access and improvement through the Office of Rural Health Services. There are three Boards that are administratively attached to the department: 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 PLANS The largest division in the department, the Division of Medical Assistance Plans, administers the Medicaid program, which purchases health care on behalf of over 1.3 million persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or indigent. State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government paying for about 60% of health care costs. A broad array of health care services is available that address the needs of program participants, including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services. The division administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), which completed its 16th year of operation in 2006. Utilizing intergovernmental transfers and federal matching funds, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians. The division is also responsible for the PeachCare for Kids Program, Georgia's version of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program. PeachCare provides medical and dental coverage for over 200,000 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 235% of the federal poverty level to participate. DIVISION OF MANAGED CARE AND QUALITY The Division of Managed Care and Quality is responsible for implementing and directing the state's new healthcare management effort known as Georgia Healthy Families (GHF). Implemented in June 2006, the department, in partnership with private Care Management Organizations, provides a more efficient delivery of health care services, better care for members, and accountability to taxpayers while at the same time maintaining predictable and sustainable expenditure growth. Children, pregnant women and women with breast or cervical cancer on Medicaid, as well as children enrolled in PeachCare, are eligible to participate in GHF. The GHF initiative was phased-in on a regional basis beginning June 2006 with the final regions brought into the plan September 2006. DIVISION OF STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN The Division of State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) manages the health plan which provides health insurance coverage to more than a half million state employees, teachers, retirees, and their dependents. The SHBP offers members several coverage options including a preferred provider option (PPO), several HMO choices, a traditional indemnity plan, along with a limited number of pilot programs focused on consumer-directed healthcare. OTHER DIVISIONS The department also contains other divisions including General Counsel, which provides legal assistance to the department and administers the Certificate of Need (CON) process; Office of Inspector General; Operations; Information Technology; Community Affairs; Communications; and Financial Management.

More than 52,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 140,000 offenders are on probation. As part of its strategic plan, the department has developed the following priorities: Sound correctional practice is founded upon reliable and timely information. Citizens are safe from incarcerated and supervised offenders; correctional environments will be safe, secure, and disciplined for all staff and offenders. Communications are hallmarked by enhanced public awareness, collaborative partnerships, and effective departmental teamwork. A continuum of balanced sanctions is available to the criminal justice system. A highly trained, professional workforce is available to achieve the department's mission, today and in years to come. Prepare offenders to accept responsibility for their acts, to effect restitution to victims and the community, and to lead productive, crime-free lives. DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured and secure environment, which removes offenders from the community 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, construction, in facility and landscape maintenance, and performing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. The types of DOC institutions include: State Prisons (42) 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 (24) These three programs offer a shortterm, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol. Transitional Centers (11) 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 (11) 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. Private Prisons (3) D. Ray James prison, owned and operated by Cornell Corrections and prisons in Coffee and Wheeler counties owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America house state sentenced inmates. Like state prisons, these facilities are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve. 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. Probationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fines, 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.

PRE-KINDERGARTEN SERVICES Georgia's lottery-funded voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program currently serves approximately 76,600 students in 3,840 classes.

The department disburses state education funds, provides technical assistance and support services to local school systems, operates three state schools for hearing- and visually-impaired students, and provides intensive assistance to local schools identified by the Office of Student Achievement. There are 180 school systems in the state operating more than 2,100 schools. These schools are primarily funded through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula - a partnership between the state and local school systems that provides $8 billion in funding for education. STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT The Department of Education provides leadership in developing and implementing the new curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards for elementary, middle and secondary students. The new curriculum, which was implemented in FY 2005, is raising the expectations for all our students. All English/Language Arts classes have been converted to the new curriculum, and the Department is on schedule with the remaining subjects. Full implementation of the new curriculum is expected in FY 2012. In addition to providing funds for daily instruction, the department also administers a number of programs for students in need of additional services. These include a program for handicapped preschool children, tuition for the multi-handicapped and funding for the Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) network. Nearly 15,900 students are being served through these grants totaling $103.7 million. In an effort to expand educational opportunities for all students in Georgia, the department opened the Georgia Virtual School in FY 2006. The Georgia Virtual School provides a number of core curriculum, foreign language, business electives and Advanced Placement (AP) courses online for public, private and home school students. Current funding for the virtual school provides 4,000 slots. In an effort to improve the state's graduation rates, the department implemented an innovative program in FY07 which placed a graduation coach in every high school. Graduation coaches are instrumental in identifying students who are at-risk of not graduating and providing necessary interventions and strategies to help students graduate. Such efforts include developing individual graduation plans (Peach State Pathways), organizing tutoring programs to prepare for the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT), and creating a network of graduation teams and community mentors/partners to support the students and schools. The Department of Education also provides resources for students preparing for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). The department provides funding for high school sophomores to take the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT). An additional resource for SAT preparation was added in FY 2006. The Department now provides an online SAT prep class for public, private and home school high school students. The online tool allows students to take practice tests and quizzes that identifies the students' strengths and weaknesses and helps them prepare for the SAT. More than 127,000 students have already taken advantage of this resource during FY 2007. SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS The department also administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement. School Improvement Teams serve five statewide regions and provide intensive, targeted support and additional resources for schools and school systems not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act - particularly schools that have not made AYP for two or more years and are in Needs Improvement (NI) status. The school improvement program offers a wide array of services ranging from professional development, analysis and planning, and implementation strategies for schools not meeting the standards. Since the Department began its school improvement efforts in FY 2004, the number of schools in needs improvement status has declined from 533 to 310. The Department of Education partners with 16 Regional Education Service Agencies (RESA) to provide shared services to improve the effectiveness of educational programs and services of local school systems and to provide direct instructional programs to selected public school students. The Department of Education also provides funding and support for many state and federal grant programs including: Title I - Improving Basic Programs; Title II-A Improving Teacher Quality; Reading First; Migrant Education; Pupil Transportation; Equalization; and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education.

In general, ERS is a vehicle for collecting employee and employer contributions, investing accumulated funds, and disbursing retirement benefits to members and beneficiaries. As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet the future obligations of each retirement plan. An independent accounting firm also audits the system each year. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM Since 1950, the staff of ERS has administered retirement benefits for state employees in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia. Full-time employees of participating departments are required to become members of ERS as a condition of employment, with the exception of employees who first become eligible after age 60.

The commission carries out this mission by protecting the forest from fire, insects, and diseases, while working with private landowners and the forestry industry to maximize forest resources. The commission provides comprehensive forestry education programs, supplies high quality tree seedlings to Georgia landowners for reforestation, works with business to promote the continued production of Georgia-grown forest products, and facilitates the development of emerging forestrybased industries. The Georgia Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forestland, which represents an approximate $26 billion asset and comprises 75% of all land in the state. The commission has 4 main programs: Forest Protection, Forest Management, Tree Improvement, and the Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to rural forest landowners, offers technical assistance to municipalities and urban landowners, provides seedlings at a reasonable price and protects the forest resources of the state through fire prevention and suppression. FOREST PROTECTION Forest protection, the primary function of the Georgia Forestry Commission, is carried out through the Fire Business Activities subprogram. This includes a statewide network of county and district offices supplied with staff and equipment necessary for the prevention and suppression of more than 8,000 annual forest fires statewide. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires, followed by a powerful initial response from 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, including fire detection aircraft that can be quickly mobilized in the early phases of a forest fire. In addition, through the Forest Protection program forest rangers carry out prescribed burns and firebreak plowing. These procedures help Georgia landowners prevent wildfires and reduce the damage from fires that do occur. Under state code, the Georgia Forestry Commission is responsible for all wildfires outside the unincorporated areas of the state through the Rural Fire Defense subprogram. This ensures state coordination and cooperation with Georgia's rural fire department network and is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the commission. Rural Fire Defense provides low-cost fire equipment as well as assistance with training and operations for local, mostly rural, fire departments statewide. Through the Fire Prevention and Education subprogram, the commission provides information about the prevention of dangerous wildfires and has established prevention measures such as burn permitting to encourage responsible debris burning. FOREST MANAGEMENT In the area of forest management, the commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. The responsibility of the Urban and Community Forestry Assistance subprogram is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests and to provide professional expertise to resolve conflicts between development and forest resources. Multiple forest resource management techniques for both public and private lands are encouraged and promoted through the Stewardship Management subprogram, which also conducts forest health monitoring (including periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest water quality, and cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department manages 4 state-owned and 2 non-stateowned forests through the State Managed Forests subprogram. The commission works to educate the public about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment of Georgia through its Utilization and Marketing subprogram. This promotes Georgia forest products both nationally and internationally and is presently implementing the Carbon Registry to encourage the offsetting of carbonrich pollutants through the purchase of credits in forested land. Finally, the commission collects current forest resource data used to inform Georgia residents and policy makers through its Forestry Data Collection and Analysis subprogram. REFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation division is to provide high quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the residents of Georgia at a reasonable price. The Reforestation division is comprised of 2 programs, Tree Improvement and the Tree Seedling Nursery. The nursery, near Montezuma, produces a variety of pine and hardwood species for reforestation, timber production, wildlife habitat, and beautification purposes. The Tree Improvement program uses traditional plant breeding techniques to develop fast-growing, disease-resistant varieties primarily for commercial wood production. Together these programs ensure the regeneration and sustainability of Georgia's vast forest resources.

Constitutionally, he is charged with executing the laws of the state and conserving the peace as Commander-inChief of the Georgia National Guard. The Governor is also charged statutorily with a number of responsibilities including the economic and fiscal management of state government. To accomplish these duties, the Governor must meet and work with citizens of Georgia, officials of local governments, members of the General Assembly, state agency heads and Federal officials. These activities will move us toward a more educated, healthy, safe and growing state. The Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) assists the Governor in the development of a policy driven state budget; develops and annually updates a State Strategic Plan; assists all state agencies in the development of their own strategic plans and ensures that it conforms to the state plan; and performs financial and personnel functions for the Office of the Governor and attached agencies. OPB also conducts management studies and other evaluations of state government operations. The Governor's Program Budgeting initiative dictates that budgets will be predicated on programs that support departmental business plans and a more effective and efficient, results-oriented, and customer-focused budget process. To assist in managing state government in an efficient and effective manner, the Governor set up the Commission for a New Georgia, a non-profit corporation led by CEOs and senior executives from all parts of Georgia. Their mission is to bring a fresh perspective to ways state government can better manage its assets and services and map its strategic future. Nearly 300 knowledgeable citizens have served on 17 focused, fast-acting task forces tackling a wide range of issues. The task forces recommended 54 actions to improve cost savings and customer service in government and to open new opportunities for a growing economy. These recommendations are now being put into effect through the Governor's Office of Implementation. ATTACHED AGENCIES Several agencies are attached to the Office of the Governor for administrative purposes. This reduces administrative costs through consolidation of the administrative support functions. These agencies operate autonomously; however, their funding is received through the larger agency. The Georgia Council for the Arts contributes to an educated and growing Georgia. The Council for the Arts advises the Governor regarding the study and development of the arts in Georgia and provides grants and technical assistance to local governments and art groups. The Professional Standards Commission and the Office of Student Achievement are two administratively attached agencies that work toward the goal of an educated Georgia. The Professional Standards Commission sets policies and procedures for certification of educational personnel in the public schools; reviews and analyzes requests for certification; and develops and enforces the code of ethics and performance standards for teachers in local school systems. The Office of Student Achievement establishes educational accountability policies and standards for the state to establish the "official" education report card and set the passing standards for the CRCT and end of course test. The Office of the Child Advocate for the Protection of Children assists the Office of the Governor in oversight of healthy and safe services for some of Georgia's most important resources our children. The Child Advocate provides independent oversight of persons, organizations, and agencies responsible for providing services to or caring for children who are victims of child abuse and neglect or whose domestic situation requires intervention by the state. The attached agencies focusing on a safe Georgia are the Office of Consumer Affairs, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and the Office of Homeland Security. The Office of Consumer Affairs protects consumers and legitimate business enterprises from unfair and deceptive activities through enforcement of the Fair Business Practices Act and other related consumer protection statutes. The Office of Homeland Security was created by an Executive Order and works in conjunction with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to protect the state from manmade and natural threats and disasters. Both attached agencies work with state and local agencies to carry out a comprehensive emergency and disaster readiness program. The Commission on Equal Opportunity's mission is to protect any individual in public employment from discrimination in the workplace. In addition, the commission ensures that the sale, purchase or rental of housing within the state is free from any discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or age. The Office of the State Inspector General was created by Executive Order to prevent and investigate fraud, waste and abuse in state government. Their goal is to produce a more efficient, cost-effective and trustworthy government.

DHR serves all Georgia citizens through regulatory inspection, direct service and financial assistance programs. DHR was created by the Georgia General Assembly in the Governmental Reorganization Act of 1972. The Act consolidated the Department of Public Health and the Department of Family and Children Services and other state human service programs. In that same year, the Board of Human Resources established an integrated service delivery system. The integrated system, which utilizes local boards of (public) health and regional boards for mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases, allows Georgians to receive services in the communities where they live. DHR has four divisions: Aging Services; Public Health; Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases; and Family and Children Services. AGING SERVICES The Division of Aging Services administers programs for older Georgians and adults with disabilities. These programs provide inhome services to maintain independence, provide public education and outreach services, health promotion, senior employment, investigative and protective services for vulnerable adults, and an ombudsman program for Georgians in long-term care. PUBLIC HEALTH The Division of Public Health is responsible for ensuring conditions that protect the health and well being of Georgia citizens, providing disease control and prevention, reducing the number of avoidable injury-related deaths and disabilities, and promoting healthy lifestyles. The three basic functions of public health include: assessing the health of the community by diagnosing and investigating diseases, injuries, and health conditions and monitoring the health status and needs of individuals and the community; ensuring the health of individuals and the safety of the community through provision of health services; and establishing and implementing sound public health policy. MENTAL HEALTH, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, AND ADDICTIVE DISEASES The Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Addictive Diseases (MHDDAD) was created to establish, administer and supervise state programs for mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases. The division is charged by law to: provide adequate mental health, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases services to all Georgians; provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers; and provide service through a coordinated and unified system that emphasizes community-based services. FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) provides child welfare, economic assistance, and family violence services. Services are provided through a network of offices in all 159 counties and through networks of community partners and contract agencies. Organizationally, DFCS is made up of three units - Field Operations, Programs and Policy, and Finance and Administration. CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) helps children by enforcing parental obligation to pay financial support. Services include locating non-custodial parents, confirming paternity, establishing and enforcing child support and medical support orders, and collecting and distributing payments. REGULATORY SERVICES The Office of Regulatory Services (ORS) inspects, monitors, licenses, registers, and certifies a variety of health, long-term and childcare programs to ensure that facilities operate at acceptable levels, as mandated by state statutes and by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Human Resources. ADMINISTRATION DHR has ten (10) administrative offices that provide executive and policy direction to all divisions of DHR, as well as technical and administrative support to all of DHR. ATTACHED AGENCIES: The Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund was established to improve the quality of life of Georgians with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries by distributing funds and resources. The Children's Trust Fund supports the establishment of community-based educational and service programs designed to reduce the occurrence of child abuse and neglect in Georgia. The Child Fatality Review Panel provides direction, oversight, and training for each of the 159 Child Fatality Review Committees. The purpose of the local Child Fatality Review Committees is to provide a confidential forum to determine the cause and circumstances of child deaths. The Council on Aging provides leadership to the Coalition of Advocates for Georgia's Elderly (CO-AGE), researches aging issues, publishes fact sheets and other educational materials to increase public awareness and understanding of issues of concern to Georgia's older adult population. The Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities is the state planning council created by a federal mandate through the Developmental Disabilities Act, and is charged with creating systems change for people with developmental disabilities and their families to increase independence, inclusion, integration, and productivity for people with disabilities. The Family Connection Partnership is a public/private partnership that serves as a resource to state agencies across Georgia to help improve the conditions of children and their families.

The department's role is twofold: Provide for the supervision, detention and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody or supervision Provide necessary public safety services by appropriately separating youth offenders from the community The department accomplishes its mission through the operation of its five programs: Community Non-Secure Services, Community Supervision, Secure Detention, Secure Commitment and Administration. DJJ provides its services to nearly 60,000 youth every year and maintains a daily population of about 22,000. Youth who enter into the department's care include those sentenced to probation, short-term incarceration or committed to the state's custody as part of a long-term secure confinement plan. Based on a needs assessment, youth placed in the department's care receive a variety of rehabilitative services, as well as required educational programming. The department operates as a separate state school district, and has received full Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation for both its regular and vocational education components. Juvenile offenders participate in many therapeutic and counseling programs that support their transition back into their communities and reduce the risk of future delinquent activity. One of the department's foremost principles is that of Balanced and Restorative Justice, a set of values that asks that the primary stakeholders in a crime be involved in repairing the harm caused and work to ensure that the community is a stronger place following the incident. DJJ operates under the guidance of a 15-member board appointed by the Governor. COMMUNITY NON-SECURE SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION These programs house the services provided to youth offenders placed in community settings as a result of directives issued by the Juvenile Court system. A broad continuum of specific programs delivering supervisory and rehabilitative services are provided to these youthful offenders, including residential therapeutic treatment, wilderness programs, group homes, multi-systemic therapy services, intensive supervision programs and electronic monitoring. Some 20,000 youth reside in community-based settings on any given day while in the department's care. The Community Supervision program contains all employees responsible for administering those programs housed within the Community Non-Secure Services program. Over 850 of the department's 4,200 staff members are part of the Community Supervision program. Most of these are juvenile probation and parole specialists, whose primary task is to supervise and maintain continuous interaction with youths placed in their charge. SECURE DETENTION All of the state's 22 Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) are included in the Secure Detention program. RYDC facilities are designed to provide a secure placement for youth awaiting formal adjudication for an offense. Nearly 1,700 staff work in these facilities, located across the state and housing an average daily population of approximately 1,200 youth. SECURE COMMITMENT The state currently operates eight Youth Detention Campus (YDC) facilities, which house juvenile offenders committed to the state for a maximum of two years, and those youth sentenced to a shortterm incarceration program for a maximum of 60 days. These facilities employ approximately 1,400 staff who provide services to an average daily population of nearly 1,000 youth. Both RYDC and YDC facilities provide the youths housed therein with a variety of services, including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling and other therapeutic programs. ATTACHED AGENCY The Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) is attached for administrative purposes to DJJ, and operates under the guidance of a 23 member board. The Council's goal is to assist local communities in preventing juvenile delinquency through the provision of state and federal grants, technical assistance and training of service providers. CYCC currently funds 120 community-based programs in Georgia totaling approximately $6.7 million in five program areas: delinquency prevention and early intervention, enforcement of underage drinking laws, the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG), Title V prevention and abstinence education.

The department's core businesses are economic stability, employment, employability and training assistance, medical and occupational rehabilitation, and workplace safety. ECONOMIC STABILITY 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. Disability Adjudication Services determines eligibility for Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Income benefits to ensure that individuals who are no longer eligible to receive these services discontinue receiving benefits. The department also administers Georgia laws regulating the employment of children. EMPLOYMENT, EMPLOYABILITY, AND TRAINING ASSISTANCE In a partnership with businesses and other community leaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged individuals, non-traditional employees, and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in Georgia. The one-stop system delivers these comprehensive workforce development services to customers. 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. 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, including referring qualified applicants to employers, counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs, and referring clients to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care, and supportive services. The Division of Rehabilitation Services provides opportunities for work and personal independence for Georgians with disabilities. In pursuit of this goal, the division administers several programs: the Business Enterprise Program assists severely visually impaired individuals in becoming private vendors; Georgia Industries for the Blind provides employment for severely visually impaired and disabled individuals; Vocational Rehabilitation assists people with disabilities to go to work; and Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. Additionally, the department serves at-risk youth through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program, which offers career exploration, leadership skill development, and mentoring services to assist high school students in completing their secondary education and to prepare them for higher education, military service, or employment. Compiling and disseminating labor market information is another 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. ROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE The institute, also a part of the Division of Rehabilitation Services, is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation facility serving people with severe disabilities. The goal of the institute is to increase the selfsufficiency of people with disabilities so they can better manage their disabilities, live independently, and maintain employment. WORKPLACE SAFETY The department has regulatory responsibility for equipment such as elevators, escalators, safety glass, amusement and carnival rides, high voltage apparatus, boilers, and pressure vessels.

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. DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS In order to accomplish its mission, the agency has identified two core businesses: Making Informed Parole Decisions (Clemency) Transitioning Offenders Back into the Community (Field Supervision) The agency has re-engineered its entire organization to ensure that business processes, strategic objectives, performance measures, programs and budget are all aligned with the core mission. The organizational structure of the agency also reflects the core businesses and mission of the agency, with three divisions: Clemency, Field Operations and Victim Services. The Administration program supports the mission of the Board. 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 informed parole decisions. The Clemency Division manages requests for restoration of rights and pardons. The Field Operations Division assists the Clemency Division by completing important investigations that are used in the clemency decision process. Inmates who are granted the privilege of parole to community supervision are supervised by this division's parole officers, who work in 56 offices throughout the state. Field parole officers provide offender oversight through a balanced approach to supervision which blends both surveillance and enforcement along with referrals to treatment and self-help programs. Victim Services works with victims or their families to answer their questions about parole, to ensure their views and concerns reach Board Members prior to their parole decision, and to keep them notified of activity on their case. This division is also responsible for communication with victims and victims groups to make sure board members know and understand their needs and concerns. 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 backup to local law enforcement as needed. Administration supports the internal operations of the agency including budget/fiscal, staff training, personnel services, quality assurance audits, research, evaluation and technology, legislative liaison, internal affairs and public information. Administration is dedicated to using innovative technology to reduce costs and improve service delivery to all agency staff. The agency leads the state in automated business processes and leads the nation in automated field case management.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the commission promulgates and enforces rules governing regulated companies, assists consumers of regulated companies with questions and problematic situations, and educates the public on consumer rights and responsibilities in the evolving regulatory environment. Above all, the commission aims to ensure that the best value in electric, natural gas, transportation, and telecommunications services are delivered to Georgia consumers and that the level of pipeline safety and utility facility protection practiced in the state remains high. The PSC is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency directed by a five-member board of commissioners. Commissioners are elected through statewide general elections and serve six-year terms. The agency's staff includes accountants, analysts, engineers, information systems specialists, inspectors, and various administrative personnel who assist the commissioners in fulfilling their duties. The Commission has two programs: Facilities Protection and Utilities Regulation. FACILITIES PROTECTION Through its safety program, the Georgia Public Service Commission protects people, property, and the environment from physical harm from an accidental release of natural gas or other liquid, and averts interruptions of utility service resulting from damage to utility facilities caused by blasting or excavating operations. The commission fulfills its responsibilities by enforcing industry compliance with safety rules and regulations and by educating the system operators. By training operators, the commission ensures that industry personnel understand proper procedures for locating and marking utility facilities before blasting or excavating. The combination of enforcement and education is highly effective and contributes to the health and security of Georgia. TRANSPORTATION Under legislation adopted by the 2005 General Assembly, the commission assumed the regulation of household goods movers, luxury limousines, buses, and non-consensual towers. The Commission sets maximum rates to be charged and ensures that these carriers are properly licensed, insured, and able to comply with all safety regulations. UTILITIES REGULATION The goal of Utilities Regulation is to ensure that telecommunications, electric, and natural gas providers serve the state with affordable rates and quality service. Although the natural gas and telecommunications industries have been partially opened to competition, the PSC remains responsible for monitoring the rates and service standards of electric, transportation, natural gas, and telecommunications companies. Additionally, it is the role of the commission to approve supply plans for electric and natural gas companies, monitor utility system and telecommunications network planning, arbitrate complaints among competitors, provide consumer protection and education, and certify competitive transportation, natural gas and telecommunications providers. The PSC recognizes that its responsibility to ensure that utility services are reliable and reasonably priced has not changed even as utility markets become more competitive. The Public Service Commission believes that Georgians should continue to have access to high quality utility services, whether those services are priced in a competitive market or through economic regulation.

USG works to create a more educated Georgia through its core missions of instruction, research and public service. INSTRUCTION Access to higher education is critical to the economic development of the state. Currently, 90% of Georgia citizens are within commuting distance of 1 of the 35 USG institutions. Twelve two-year colleges offer programs leading to an associate degree. Four state colleges offer associate degrees and limited baccalaureate degrees. Thirteen state universities offer baccalaureate degrees, and most offer associate and graduate degrees. Two regional and four research universities offer baccalaureate and professional degrees, along with some associate degrees. Also, four institutions offer technical programs through an arrangement with the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). In the fall of 2006, the System enrolled almost 260,000 students its highest enrollment ever. Also during FY 2006, USG granted 43,848 degrees. RESEARCH Research is concentrated in four research universities: the University of Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, and the Medical College of Georgia. Funding for research is derived from the funding formula, federal or private sponsored research, special state programs like the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), Traditional Industries Program (TIP), and special research institutes. For example, GRA is a partnership between Georgia's public and private research universities and private corporations to promote economic development by focusing Georgia's research capabilities in targeted technologies that offer significant potential for economic and industrial growth. Another example is TIP which provides applied research grants in three areas--food processing, pulp and paper production, and carpet and textiles. Researchers team up with industry to solve problems critical to the growth and sustainability of Georgia's traditional industries. SERVICE The University System also has as one of its missions direct service to farmers, businesses, industry, and communities. Assistance is provided through continuing education, public service institutes, and special services and organizations. For example, the Advanced Technology Development Center/Economic Development Institute (ATDC/EDI) encourages industrial and economic development by providing an extension service that meets the technical, informational and other needs of industry and local development groups as well as working on the nurturing of new technology companies. Cooperative Extension Service provides assistance to Georgia farmers through a network of county extension agents who share information and research developed through the Agricultural Experiment Stations. Cooperative Extension also provides useful and practical information to the people of Georgia on subjects related to natural resources, home economics, youth development, rural development, and family support. OTHER ACTIVITIES The Board of Regents also oversees the Public Libraries Service which provides assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. There are 58 public library systems that operate 372 public libraries statewide in addition to the state's library for the blind and physically handicapped.

The commission's primary goal is to make Georgia a better place for its citizens through the wise use and protection of basic soil and water resources and to achieve practical water quality goals through agricultural best practices. There are 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Georgia, composed of 1 or more counties each; every county has at least 2 supervisor representatives on the District Board of Supervisors. Serving as the coordinator of the 370 district supervisors is a commission appointed by the Governor, comprised of 5 supervisors from different regions of the state and appointed by the Governor to serve 5-year terms. The commission is headquartered in Athens with 6 regional offices and has a professional staff whose primary duty is to serve and advance the goals of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts. The regional offices are located in Rome, Athens, Conyers, Milledgeville, Dawson, and Statesboro. CONSERVATION OF AGRICULTURAL WATER SUPPLIES The Conservation of Agricultural Water Supplies program exists to assist agricultural water users in quantifying water use, conserving existing water supplies through irrigation audits, and reducing dependence on ground water and surface water supplies through agricultural catchments. The Soil and Water Conservation Commission accomplishes these goals through agricultural water metering by installing water meters on farmers' irrigation systems to track and document water usage. This allows the commission to accurately determine state water use and obtain data to be used by policy makers and individual farmers alike in developing water conservation strategies. In addition, the commission administers farmer incentive programs designed to increase the uniformity and efficiency of agricultural irrigation systems and to develop agricultural water catchments for irrigation of cropland in South Georgia. CONSERVATION OF SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES The Conservation of Soil and Water Resources program supports landowners in protecting soil and water resources through the use of voluntary best management practices intended to meet water quality standards. Best management practices implemented by the commission and individual farmers prevent erosion and pollution on both agricultural and urban lands. Three subprograms in the Conservation of Soil and Water Resources program address different types of land and conservation issues. The Agricultural Lands subprogram helps to reduce soil erosion and non-point source pollutants on agricultural lands; Urban Lands addresses erosion on development sites by educating developers, local governments, and erosion and sediment control professionals on best management practices; and Conservation District Education and Outreach promotes increased awareness of the importance of soil and water conservation by supplying Georgia citizens with research data, mapping systems, and soil and water resource information. WATER RESOURCES AND LAND USE PLANNING The Water Resources and Land Use Planning program exists to conduct planning activities that further the understanding of water use and improve water management throughout the state. Through this program, the commission provides resource information to stakeholders and policy makers participating in the statewide water planning process, using wetted acreage maps and an irrigator gateway. WATERSHED FLOOD CONTROL DAMS Georgia has 357 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-constructed flood control watershed dams, most of them located in the northern part of the state. The Watershed Flood Control Dams program provides for proper operation and maintenance of these dams by working with federal, local, and Soil and Water Conservation District officials. Through the program, the commission helps to ensure that dams meet the Georgia Safe Dams Act standards for structural integrity, operate efficiently to provide multi-purpose use, and ensure flood protection for nearby communities.

As required by Georgia law, the system is examined on an annual basis by an independent actuarial firm that specializes in pension and retirement plans. The firm prepares a yearly valuation on the contingent assets and liabilities of the system, thus revealing its ability to meet future obligations. In addition, an independent accounting firm audits the system annually. Administration of the system is ultimately the responsibility of the TRS Board of Trustees, while daily management of system operations is the responsibility of the executive director. The executive director is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members. The board consists of ten members as follows: State Auditor, ex officio Director, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex officio Two classroom teachers (both active members of TRS) appointed by the Governor One school administrator (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Governor One Board of Regents employee (an active member of TRS) appointed by the Board of Regents One trustee appointed by the Governor who must be an active member of TRS One trustee appointed by the Governor One retired member of TRS elected by the trustees One citizen (not a TRS member) experienced in the investment of money elected by the trustees MEMBERSHIP All individuals employed half time or more in covered positions of the state's public school systems, regional libraries, county libraries, and regional educational service agencies are required to be TRS members as a condition of employment. Covered positions include teachers, administrators, supervisors, clerks, teacher aides, secretaries, public school nurses, and paraprofessionals. Similarly, employees in covered positions of the University System of Georgia are required to be TRS members unless eligible for participation in an optional retirement plan administered by the University System's Board of Regents. Also eligible for TRS membership are certain employees of the State Department of Education and the Department of Technical and Adult Education, along with public school lunchroom, maintenance, warehouse, and transportation managers and supervisors. INVESTMENTS TRS has its own "in-house" Investment Services Division, which handles day-to-day investment transactions. Securities lending and portfolio officers, securities and investment analysts, and investment assistants are all part of the TRS investment team. Six members of the TRS Board of Trustees, along with the executive director, comprise the Investment Committee. Committee members convene with the directors of the Investment Services Division and hear recommendations from outside investment advisors at monthly meetings. Investment recommendations made by the committee require approval by the entire board. COLA FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Teachers 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) receive a post-retirement cost of living adjustment (COLA) to their monthly benefit whenever such adjustment is granted to teachers who retire under TRS. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually. FLOOR FUNDS FOR LOCAL SYSTEM RETIREES Any teacher who has retired from a local retirement system (Atlanta City Schools, Chatham County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Rome City Schools) prior to July 1, 1978 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. These funds are appropriated to TRS annually.

In 1987, the new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education 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). The department is divided into four programs: Technical Education, Adult Literacy, Economic Development and Administration. TECHNICAL EDUCATION DTAE oversees 33 technical colleges, 31 branch campuses and seven technical education centers. In addition, there are four technical education divisions housed within four of the University System of Georgia colleges. The colleges offer more than 1,200 programs and provide opportunities for students to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills to keep pace with rapidly-changing technology and competition in a world market. Students attending technical colleges 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 two years. The technical colleges serve approximately 145,000 students annually and produce about 26,000 graduates each year. ADULT LITERACY The Adult Literacy program, through its network of 37 service delivery areas throughout the state, promotes and provides adult basic education and literacy programs, including the general educational diploma (GED) Testing program that awards GED diplomas. The program 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. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (QUICK START) The Economic Development program provides employee training services to new and expanding industries as well as existing industries at no cost through Quick Start. 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 colleges, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors. ADMINISTRATION The Administration program fulfills overall administrative roles for the central office and the 33 technical colleges. These activities include budgeting, accounting, purchasing, asset management, personnel, information technology, research, public information, facilities management, legal services, planning, and evaluation.

The majority of the department's resources are applied to 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. The department is governed by a board comprised of members from each of the state's congressional districts elected by each district's state representatives and senators. The board in turn appoints a commissioner. PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS The department plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multimodal 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. The department is also responsible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal 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 modifications; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; maintaining state welcome centers and rest areas; and issuing permits for special vehicles such as overweight carriers. INFORMATION AND TRAVELER SERVICES The department provides critical information and services concerning transportation to government agencies and the public. Data collected include truck weight, traffic volume and speed. The department also maintains an inventory of the public road system and produces the official state transportation map along with county maps. The accident reporting unit receives all accident reports from law enforcement agencies throughout the state. These reports are available for a fee and are frequently used by insurance companies and attorneys. The HEROs and the Navigator system provide critical services and information to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the state's highways. The Navigator system uses video cameras, road sensors, weather stations and other technology to collect data and control traffic. Information is then made available to the public through various outlets. HERO units respond to traffic incidents on interstates in the metropolitan Atlanta and Macon areas to minimize any impact on traffic flow. These units are on duty at all times patrolling routes and responding to incidents such as road debris, spills, disabled vehicles and crashes. MULTIMODAL SERVICES The Transit program provides financial and technical assistance to preserve and enhance the state's urban and rural public transit program. The program administers the federal funds from the Federal Transit Administration and provides the state share for the local match. The Airport Aid program provides financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance, and other services as needed. It also maintains the state airport system plan; publishes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and lends management and technical assistance to local governments to develop, maintain and improve air service. The Rail program acquires and rehabilitates rail lines to assure freight rail service is a safe, efficient, and viable transportation option throughout the state. This effort provides cities, counties, and municipalities the opportunity to offer an efficient transportation alternative to promote economic development in their communities. The Ports and Waterways program is responsible for the provision and maintenance of land, dikes and control works necessary for 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 the dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the department. AIR TRANSPORTATION The Air Transportation program operates aircraft for use by state officials and performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or road and bridge improvement. The program also partners with the Department of Economic Development to attract new business and industry by providing air transportation for prospective industrial clients looking to locate in Georgia.

VETERANS ASSISTANCE The first priority in the department's mission of Veterans Assistance is accomplished with a claims staff, field offices, an information division and a central office. The claims staff processes claims and appeals of Georgia veterans. The field offices, located throughout the state, provide direct assistance to veterans at the local level. Department field office representatives provide counsel and assistance in gathering documentation and information required to process a claim. The Information Division keeps Georgia veterans informed about issues and their possible impact. The Central Office manages and supports all administrative requirements. STATE VETERANS NURSING HOMES The Department operates two State veterans' nursing homes. The Georgia War Veterans Home, Milledgeville, is a 550bed facility licensed to provide skilled nursing and domiciliary care to eligible Georgia war veterans. It consists of three skilled nursing care buildings, a domiciliary, and an Alzheimer's Care facility. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is a 192-bed skilled nursing care facility located adjacent to the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Augusta. In addition to providing care for eligible Georgia war veterans, the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home serves as a teaching facility to acquaint medical and allied health students with medical conditions and diseases that confront the elderly. GEORGIA VETERANS MEMORIAL CEMETERY The Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery is located in Milledgeville and will eventually be a final resting place for more than 100,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses and their dependents. Construction of a second state veteran's cemetery in Glennville, Georgia, with completion projected for the Fall of 2007. 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% federally funded and is staffed with eight employees. GOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The seven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the Senate, governs the Department of Veterans Service. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of a Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year term.

Since passage of this law, employees may now gain benefits from employers when injured on the job. The law ensures employees that certain benefits will be paid to them as a result of on-the-job injuries. The same law also 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 3 full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt 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. The board 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, employees, insurers, self-insurers, physicians, and rehabilitation suppliers 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 appellate division, state superior or appellate courts; however, that avenue may only be used to debate points of law, not facts of a case. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The board consists of three directors, 1 of which is the chair, and all are appointed by the Governor. The directors promulgate workers' compensation regulations, and develop workers' compensation policy. They also hear appeals of administrative law judges' decisions and render rulings on appeals, and approve and submit budget requests for the agency. The executive director/chief operating officer oversees the operations of the board. The executive director also provides management supervision, makes presentations to various groups as requested, assists the directors as needed, and acts as peer review of medical services. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Division mediates appropriate issues, issues orders, and makes presentations to various groups as requested. The Appellate Division researches cases that are appealed to the board, recommends appropriate action, receives and processes documents regarding appealed cases, and sets calendars for appellate hearings. The Claims/Quality Assurance Division maintains the file room and filing system, screens requests for hearings, operates the mailroom, processes mail and forwards files and mail to divisions, locates files and resolves problems caused by duplicate files, codes and enters data, and performs quality assurance reviews of insurers and self-insurers. The Enforcement Division investigates incidents of noncompliance and incidents alleging fraud, maintains information on employers' insurance coverage, and makes presentations to various groups regarding fraud/compliance. The Trials Division holds formal hearings, and makes presentations to various groups as requested. The Managed Care and Rehabilitation Division processes requests for rehabilitation services, performs quality assurance reviews of rehabilitation suppliers, holds conferences to resolve disputes, reviews and approves rehabilitation plans, reviews applications of managed care organizations, and registers rehabilitation suppliers. The Settlements Division reviews and processes stipulated settlements and requests for advances. The IT Services Division's mission is to provide innovative contemporary and accessible technology in computing, media, telephone services and training to enable the SBWC staff to meet their goals as a state agency. The IT staff works collaboratively within the SBWC and stakeholders to provide technological leadership, which empowers its users through the use to technology.

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.

The requirement for outcome based budgeting is provided through the performance and results measures in Prioritized Program Budgeting. The measure mandated an ongoing review of agency continuation budgets and a more detailed review of expenditures at the individual program level. Procedures and requirements for grant awards by state agencies also were established. BUDGET CLASS -- See Object Class.

The Amended Budget Report, which recommends changes to the current fiscal year budget, is also known as the "little budget."

H HOUSE BUDGET OFFICE -- An agency within the Legislative Branch that serves as budget advisor to the House of Representatives. I INDIGENT CARE TRUST FUNDS -- A program that involves the use of Medicaid funds to compensate disproportionate share hospitals for indigent care and to support expanding primary care programs. Participating hospitals make payments into the Trust Fund, and these payments are used to match with Medicaid funds. Most of the funds are then returned to the hospitals, with a small amount used for state-level programs. An amendment to the State Constitution authorized the newly revamped program and restricts the use of these funds. These funds are included in the Governor's Revenue Estimate and are a part of the State's Budget Fund for accounting purposes. INDIRECT FUNDING -- The Appropriations Act each year allocates direct funding to the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) for computer and telecommunications services to be provided to seven state agencies.

There are two kinds of lapses. Non-allotted lapses occur when appropriations are never allotted to a state agency for expenditure and automatically revert to the state treasury on June 30 of each year. Audited lapses occur when budgeted funds are allotted to a state agency for expenditure but are not spent. These unspent funds are identified and lapsed by the State Auditor in the annual audit of each state agency. LAPSE FACTOR -- A budgeting tool that withholds funds from appropriations, based on anticipated employee turnover and lower employee replacement costs. LINE-ITEM APPROPRIATION -- An appropriation spelled out in language in the Appropriations Act that authorizes specific expenditures for a state agency.

O OBJECT CLASS -- A grouping of similar expenditure items that form the basis of appropriations and records of expenditure. Establishment of budget object classes and changes are coordinated with the State Auditor's Chart of Accounts to ensure consistency in statewide financial reports. Common object classes are those that are shared by almost all agencies, including personal services, regular operating expenses, travel, motor vehicle purchases, postage, equipment, computer charges, real estate rentals and telecommunications. Unique object classes are those that apply to only one or a few agencies, such as public library materials and driver's license processing. OFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET (OPB) -- A part of the Office of the Governor with the responsibility of providing the Governor with assistance in the development and management of the state budget. OPB also is responsible for working with the State Auditor's Office in evaluating each program in state government at least once every 10 years. The Governor is the Director of the Budget.
