TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The past year has confronted Georgia, and our nation, with severe economic challenges that we have not experienced in decades. Just as every Georgia family must make decisions on how to allocate available income and prioritize needs, the state must do the same. This budget continues our efforts to deliver state services in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
Georgia has a long history of prudent and conservative fiscal management. Our AAA bond rating has been protected allowing us to fund capital projects in such areas as education, transportation and economic development at significant budget savings. Our policies of spending restraint during healthy economic times have now become our best asset. The Revenue Shortfall Reserve, built to over $1.5 billion with the help of the General Assembly before the current recession, has been instrumental in protecting critical state services for the last two years. Throughout this economic decline we continue to be vigilant, adjusting our spending as the realities of the recession affect our tax revenues.
These budget recommendations are based on maximizing the use of appropriate and remaining state agency reserve funds. Where possible, federal stabilization funds have been used to offset the loss of state funds and protect core services. And as always, this budget seeks to protect our investments in those areas that are most critical to insuring the future growth and prosperity of Georgia.
These are challenging times, but focusing on our core priorities will allow Georgia to emerge from this period more prosperous and secure than ever.

Revenue Shortfall Reserve

Revenue Shortfall Reserve
.

RevenueShortfallReserve The 1976 session of the General Assembly created the Revenue Shortfall Reserve in lieu of the Working Reserve. This reserve acts as a savings account or "rainy day" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. 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 2008 includes agency surplus collected after June 30, 2008 and does not include funds used for mid-year K-12 adjustment.

Lottery Reserves

Georgia's lottery laws require the establishment of two reserves that are funded as a percentage of lottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations.
The Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and requires 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 $86,768,600 on June 30, 2009.
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 Shortfall Reserve 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, 2009 totaled $239,770,942.
The two lottery reserves as of June 30, 2009 total as follows:

Department of Agriculture
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Department of Agriculture administers a DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiAbiglirtiiceusl,taunrde Organization variety of programs which all share the goals of maintaining the state's viable farm industry and protecting the consuming public. These multifaceted 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 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, organic agriculture, 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 those 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 Animal Industry 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; the division works to guarantee food safety, animal welfare and successful livestock production. The Animal Industry Division is 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. This division also 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. 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.

Department of Community Affairs
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) operates a DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilimtiems,uannitdyOArfgfaainrsization host of state and federal grant programs; serves as the state's lead agency in housing finance and development; publishes building codes which are applicable to every structure built in Georgia; provides comprehensive planning, technical, and research assistance to local governments; and serves as the lead agency for the state's solid waste reduction efforts. 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 grants annually to cities and counties outside major metropolitan areas in Georgia. DCA's community service programs deliver funding support to 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 grants and loans to Georgia communities 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,

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.

Department of Community Health

Department of Community Health
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Community Health (DCH) was DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilimtiems,uannitdyOHregaalnthization created in 1999 to serve as the lead agency for health care planning and purchasing issues in Georgia. The General Assembly created DCH by consolidating four agencies involved in purchasing, planning and regulating health care. In 2009, HB 228 restructured the state's health and human services agencies. The Division of Public Health, including the Emergency Preparedness function, transitioned to DCH. Additionally, the Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation was created out of SB 433 (2008) and HB 228 (2009). The division oversees the health- and long-term-care functions transferred from the Office of Regulatory Services. A nineperson board appointed by the Governor has policy-making authority for DCH.
The department has five major divisions: Medicaid, State Health Benefit Plan, Healthcare Facility Regulation, Public Health, and Emergency Preparedness and Response.
MEDICAID
DCH is designated as the single state agency for Medicaid. The largest division in the department, the Medicaid Division purchases health care on behalf of 1.4 million persons who are aged, blind, disabled, or indigent. A broad array of health care services is available that address the needs of program participants; including hospital, physician, pharmacy, and nursing home services. Aged, blind and disabled Medicaid members utilize a fee-forservice delivery system. Low-Income Medicaid members

enroll in Care Management Organizations (CMOs) for the management of their health care services.
State and federal dollars fund Medicaid with the federal government traditionally paying for about 65% of health care costs. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides an enhanced federal participation rate for state Medicaid programs.
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. Participants pay a monthly premium based on income and family size. Current eligibility allows children in families with incomes between 185% and 235% of the federal poverty level to participate. PeachCare members also enroll in CMOs.
The division administers the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), which completed its 19th year of operation in 2009. Utilizing intergovernmental transfers and federal matching funds, the ICTF reimburses hospitals serving a disproportionate share of medically indigent Georgians.
STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN
The Division of State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) manages the health plan which provides health insurance coverage to nearly 700,000 state employees, school system

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.

FACILITY REGULATON
The Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation inspects, monitors, licenses, registers, and certifies a variety of healthand long-term care programs to ensure that facilities operate at acceptable levels, as mandated by state statutes and by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Community Health.
ADMINISTRATION
The division includes the Office of General Counsel, which provides legal assistance to the department and

administers the Certificate of Need (CON) process; the Office of the Inspector General; Operations; Information Technology; Communications; and Financial Management.
ATTACHED AGENCIES
There are three Boards and two Commissions that are administratively attached to the department.
Georgia Composite Medical Board licenses physicians and other health care providers.
Georgia Board for Physician Workforce provides financial aid to medical schools and residency training programs.
State Medical Education Board administers medical scholarships and loans to promote medical practice in rural areas.

Department of Corrections
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Department of Corrections (DOC) DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiCboilirtrieecst,iaonndsOrganization administers the prison and probation sentences of offenders adjudicated by Georgia courts. More than 55,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 150,000 offenders are on probation.
As part of its strategic plan, the department has developed the following priorities:
Sound correctional practices are 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 and professional workforce is available to achieve the department's mission, both today and in years to come.
Offenders are prepared to accept responsibility for their acts, to restore harm done to the community, and to lead a productive, crime-free life.
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS
Incarceration offers a highly structured and secure environment, which removes from the community those offenders who pose a high risk. DOC provides legally

mandated services in the areas of physical and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services, and recreation.
DOC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms, food preparation, laundry, construction, facility and landscape maintenance, and performing factory work in Georgia Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. The types of DOC institutions include the following facilities:
State Prisons (33): These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve.
County Prisons (23): 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 (14): These three programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol.
Transition Centers (15): 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. Pre-Release Centers (6): These facilities are designed to give inmates additional work experience, cognitive skill, vocational, and AA/NA treatment programs prior to release. Participating inmates are selected within two years of their scheduled release. Day Reporting Centers (11): These non-custody, community-based resources offer treatment to offenders that are assessed to have a greater risk of re-offending without appropriate interventions. DRC interventions focus on substance abuse, criminal thinking, education, and employment issues. 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 statesentenced 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, defined as 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.

Department of Education
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Board of Education establishes policies that DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiEbdiliuticeast,ioanndOrganization the Georgia Department of Education administers under the direction of the State Superintendent of Schools. 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 185 school systems in the state operating more than 2,200 schools. These schools are primarily funded through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula - a partnership between the state and local school systems that provides over $9 billion in funding for education.
STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT
The Department of Education provides leadership in developing and implementing the state's core curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for elementary, middle and secondary students. The state began phasing in the GPS in FY 2005. Currently, the curriculum has been implemented in all grades for English/Language Arts and Science, grades K-9 in Mathematics and grades K-5 and 8-12 in Social Studies. Full implementation of the GPS is expected in FY 2012.
The State Board of Education has adopted new graduation requirements which will be in effect for current 9th graders, the Class of 2012. The new Graduation Rule

eliminates Georgia's "tiered" diploma. All students will be required to have 23 credits to include 4 credits each in Mathematics, Science, and English/Language Arts. All students are expected to take the same core classes and to use their electives to personalize their education, depending on their post-secondary plans.
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 15,000 students are being served through these grants with approximately $100 million provided in state funds.
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 over 80 core curriculum, foreign language, business electives and Advanced Placement (AP) courses online for public, private and home school students. Students from 134 school systems currently participate. State funds support 8,500 course enrollments for the 2009-2010 school year.
In an effort to improve the state's graduation rates, the department implemented an innovative graduation coach program which placed a graduation coach in every high school in FY 2007 and middle school in FY 2008. Graduation

coaches are instrumental in identifying students who are atrisk 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, and creating a network of graduation teams and community mentors/ partners to support the students and schools. Since the program's inception, the state's average graduation rate has risen from 70.8% to 78.9%. For school year 2009, 4,500 more students graduated than in the prior year. Graduation coaches continue to be a vital component in helping the state to reach its goal of an 80% graduation rate by 2010.
The Department of Education also provides resources for students preparing for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) college entrance exam. The department provides funding for high school sophomores to take the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT). An online SAT prep resource was added in FY 2005 to serve public, private and home school high school students. This online tool allows students to take practice tests and quizzes that identifies the students' strengths and weaknesses and helps them prepare for the SAT. During FY 2009, nearly 130,000 students and 5,400 teachers took advantage of this resource. Approximately 91,000 students have already taken advantage of this resource during FY 2010.

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 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 278.
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.

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement ERmolpeslo,Ryeeesps'oRnestiibreilmitieens,taSnydstOemrgaonfiGzaetoiorgnia System (ERS) administers nine separate retirement systems and programs: ERS, the Legislative Retirement System (LRS), the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP), the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJRS), the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS), the State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD), the Georgia Military Pension Fund (GMPF), PeachState Reserves and the Social Security contracts between the state and its political subdivisions.
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 ERS Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for administration of the system, while the executive director who is appointed by the board and serves at the pleasure of its members is responsible for daily management of ERS operations. The board consists of seven members as follows:
Three ex officio members (State Auditor, State Personnel Administration Commissioner, and Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services Director).
One member appointed by the Governor Two members appointed by the first four
members with five or more years of creditable service with ERS and One member appointed by the first six members who must not hold public office, not be an ERS member, and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of money. The members who are not ex officio members serve four-year terms.
LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM (LRS) AND GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (GDCP)
LRS is a retirement plan for members of the General Assembly, while GDCP is a plan for temporary, seasonal, and part-time employees of the state not covered by ERS or the Teachers Retirement System (TRS). Both plans are placed under the administration of the ERS Board of Trustees.

Georgia Forestry Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Georgia Forestry Commission is responsible for the GRoeloersg,iRaeFsoproenstsribyiClitoimesm,ainssdioOnrganization conservation of Georgia's public and private forest resources. The commission carries out this mission by protecting the forest from fire, insects, and diseases, working with forest industry and landowners to manage and utilize forest resources, providing educational programs about the danger of wildfire and best management practices, and supplying high-quality tree seedlings to Georgia landowners for reforestation.
The Georgia Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forestland, which represents 75% of all land in the State. The commission has four main programs: Administration, Forest Protection, Forest Management, 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 to the citizens of Georgia 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, which includes the prevention and suppression of Georgia's forest fires. 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 that can be quickly mobilized in the early phases of a forest fire. In addition, forest rangers carry out prescribed forest fires and limit the damage they may cause.
Under state code, the Georgia Forestry Commission is responsible for all wildfires outside the unincorporated areas of our state and therefore manages the Rural Fire Defense subprogram. This program ensures state coordination and cooperation with rural fire departments across the state 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 Program, the commission provides information about the dangers of wildfires and their prevention 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 monitoring of best management practices, and cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the department conducts the management of four state-owned and two non-state owned forests through State Managed Forests.
The Commission also works to enhance the value of forests and their contribution to the economy of Georgia through Utilization and Marketing. This promotes Georgia's forest resources and products both nationally and internationally, including traditional wood products from existing mills and new bioenergy products. The commission is educating Georgian's on recovering value from carbon

credit forestry offsets and is implementing the Georgia Carbon Registry.
Finally, the commission collects forestry data used to inform Georgia residents and policy makers through its Forestry Inventory 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 without cost to the taxpayer. The Reforestation Division at the Georgia Forestry Commission is comprised of two programs, Tree Improvement and Tree Seedling Nursery. Through these programs, the commission develops genetically superior tree seedlings at the state's Flint River Nursery, and then sells them to the public, ensuring the regeneration and sustainability of Georgia's forested lands.

Office of the Governor

Office of the Governor
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Governor is the Chief Executive Officer of state ORoffliecse,RoefsthpeonGsoibvielirtnieosr,andOrganization government. Constitutionally, he is charged with executing the laws of the state and maintaining the peace as Commander-in-Chief 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 better managed and 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 compatibility with 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 creates and implements standards and procedures for certification of

Department of Juvenile Justice
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was created by DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiJbuilviteiensil,eanJudstOicreganization the General Assembly in its 1992 session. The department's role is twofold:
Provide for the supervision, detention and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody or supervision, and
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 22,200. 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

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.

State Board of Pardons and Paroles
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is comprised of SRtoaltees,BRoeasrpdoonfsPibairlditoienss,aannddOPargroalneiszation five members appointed by the Governor and empowered to grant, deny, condition, and revoke executive clemency. The board reviews the sentences of all inmates to determine what degree of executive clemency may be warranted, directs the clemency action, and supervises the offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion of their sentences.
AGENCY OPERATIONS
In order to accomplish its mission, the agency has identified two core businesses:
Making informed parole decisions (Clemency), and 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.
The Clemency Division gathers information and prepares cases for the Board Members to make informed parole decisions. They also manage requests for restoration of rights and pardons.
The Field Operations Division assists the board 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 53 offices throughout the state. Field parole officers provide offender supervision through a balanced strategy which blends both surveillance and enforcement along with referrals to treatment and self help programs.
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.
Support Services unit conduct the internal operations of the agency including budget, staff training, personnel, quality assurance audits, research, evaluation and technology, legislative liaison, internal affairs, victim, and public information services. The board 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 with an automated field case management system.

Public Service Commission

Public Service Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for PRuoblelsic,RSeesrpviocnesCiboimlitmiesis,sainodnOrganization regulating public utility companies under its jurisdiction. In carrying out its responsibilities, the commission promulgates and enforces rules governing regulated companies, assists consumers of regulated companies with questions and problems 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 service is 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 a release of natural gas or other liquid, and averts interruptions of utility service resulting from damage to utility facilities caused by blasting or excavating. 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.
UTILITIES REGULATION
The goal of utilities regulation is to ensure that electric, natural gas, transportation and telecommunication providers serve the state with affordable rates and quality service.
Even though the segments of natural gas, telecommunications and transportation industries have been opened to competition, the PSC remains responsible for monitoring the rates and service standards of electric, transportation, telecommunications, and natural gas 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, certify competitive transportation, natural gas and telecommunications providers, and ensure that household goods, movers, luxury limousines, buses and non-consensual towers are properly licensed, insured and able to comply with all safety regulations.

State Soil and Water Conservation

State Soil and Water Conservation Commission
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The State Soil and Water Conservation Commission SRtoaltees,SRoeilsapnodnsWibaitlietireCso,annsderOvargtiaonnizCaotimonmission (SSWCC) was formed to protect, conserve, and improve the soil and water resources of the State of Georgia. 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 and urban best practices.
There are 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Georgia, composed of one or several counties each; every county has at least two 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 five supervisors from different state regions and appointed by the Governor to serve fiveyear terms. There are five commission members in all, one of whom is designated Chairman. The commission is headquartered in Athens with six 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 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 is intended to support 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.
WATERSHED FLOOD CONTROL DAMS
There are 357 USDA-constructed flood control watershed dams in the State of Georgia, most of them located in the northern part of the state. This program provides for proper operation and maintenance of these dams by working with federal, local, and Soil and Water 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.
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 to improve water management throughout the state. Through wetted acreage maps, reservoir planning, and statewide water plan efforts, the commission provides resource information to stakeholders and policy makers in the statewide water planning process.

Teachers' Retirement System
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Teachers Retirement System ( TRS) is a vehicle for TReoalecsh,eRres'sRpeotnirseibmileitnietsS,yasntedmOrganization 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 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 10 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. 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. Covered positions include teachers, administrators, supervisors, clerks, teacher aides, secretaries, public school nurses, and paraprofessionals. Also eligible for TRS membership are certain employees of the State Department of Education and the Technical College System of Georgia, 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

Technical College System of Georgia
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Quality Basic Education Act (QBE) of 1985 created a TReoclehsn,iRcaelspCoonllesigbeiliStyiesst,eamndofOGrgeaonrgiziaation separate State Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education within the Department of Education to promote the economic growth and development of Georgia by providing leadership, direction, and state-level management of public postsecondary technical schools, programs, and services. 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). In 2008 the agency was renamed the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG).
The department is divided into four programs: Technical Education, Adult Literacy, Economic Development, and Administration.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION
TCSG oversees 27 technical colleges, 31 branch campuses, and seven technical education centers. In 2009 TCSG is administratively merged 12 colleges into 5 colleges. In 2010, TCSG will complete the final administrative merger reducing the total number of schools from 33 to 26. In addition, there are two technical education divisions housed within two 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 160,000 students annually and produce about 30,000 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 TCSG's network of technical colleges, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in

Department of Veterans Service
Roles, Responsibilities, and Organization

The Department of Veterans Service serves more than DRoelpeas,rtRmesepnotnosfiVbeiltiteierasn,asnSderOvricgeanization 775,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents, and beneficiaries in all matters pertaining to veterans affairs. Since all veterans benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled.
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 in Milledgeville is a 550-bed facility licensed to provide skilled nursing to eligible Georgia war veterans. It consists of three skilled nursing care buildings and an Alzheimer's Care facility.

The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home in Augusta 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 Charlie Norwood Medical Center. 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 Department operates two state veterans memorial cemeteries: the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville, which will eventually be a final resting place for more than 100,000 Georgia veterans, their spouses and their dependents; and the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Glennville, which opened in March of 2008.
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 that 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.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION LAW
Most Georgia employees are covered by the state's workers' compensation law. Since passage of this law, employees may now gain benefits from employers when injured on the job. The law ensures employees certain benefits 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 three full-time, part-time, or seasonal employees. Some categories of workers are exempt, however, including federal employees, railroad workers, farmers, domestic servants, business partners, independent contractors, and some corporate officers.
The state created the State Board of Workers' Compensation to oversee the workers' compensation law. The board creates 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, one of whom 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, as well as 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 Legal Division is responsible for conducting hearings in contested cases and ruling on motions. The Division schedules and holds hearings for those claims in which an evidentiary hearing was requested by a party, or in cases where mediation conference was either inappropriate or did not result in resolution of the pending issues.
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 staff to meet their goals as a state agency. To accomplish this mission, the IT staff works collaboratively within the agency and with stakeholders to provide technological leadership, which empowers our users through the use of technology.

Georgia Economic Report
Program Budget Financial Summary

Georgia Economic Report
Executive Summary
As the State nears the middle of FY 2010, the national economy is showing signs it has begun to recover from a severe recession. This recession will likely go down as the most severe downturn since the Great Depression considering its duration, scope and intensity. The National Bureau of Economic Research dates the start of the recession as December 2007. It is possible that the end of the recession will be placed sometime in the second half of 2009 placing the minimum length of the recession at 19 months. This would be the longest recession since the Great Depression and almost twice as long as the average length of recession in the period after World War II. Virtually every state in the nation has gone into recession, and in fact, the recession has been a global event with recession hitting every region of the globe. The recession has been intense with large percentage decreases experienced in key economic variables such as Gross Domestic Product and employment and large increases in unemployment.
A correction in housing markets was the original source of weakness in the national economy. Home prices had risen rapidly in many regions fueled by low interest rates, easy credit conditions and unconventional mortgages. As the market weakened, foreclosures increased on some of the more exotic types of mortgages. Gradually, this spilled over into broader financial markets and led to a freeze in credit markets. This quickly spilled over into the real economy as businesses and consumers reacted quickly and sharply to the financial crisis.
Policy makers have taken significant steps to stabilize financial markets and stimulating the economy. These efforts and time have enabled the economy to emerge from the downturn. The economic news has gotten progressively better in recent months and Real Gross Domestic Product grew in the 3rd quarter of 2009 for the first time since early 2008.
Labor markets conditions have stabilized in recent months. From its peak, non-farm employment in the US has fallen by about 7.3 million jobs and unemployment has risen to 10.0% as of November 2009. During the worst of the recession, job losses approached 700,000 per month but the most recent data indicated that just 11,000 jobs were lost in November. Initial claims for unemployment insurance peaked near 660,000 per week and have now fallen below 480,000 per week.
Surveys of the manufacturing and services sector also indicate that the economy has strengthened. The Institute of Supply Management's (ISM) Survey of Manufacturing conditions fell sharply with the financial crisis of late 2008. Recent readings on the survey indicate that the manufacturing sector began to expand in August and has maintained that through November. Exports have increased, domestic demand has improved and inventory draw downs by manufacturers appear to be largely complete. These factors are all boosting output in the manufacturing sector.

The ISM survey of the services sector shows that this sector also began to expand in August. However, the most recent result for the survey indicates that the services is essentially neutral, neither expanding nor contracting in November.
Consumer spending contracted sharply in late 2008 as worries over job security, the drop in personal income and falling wealth all combined to bring consumer confidence to extreme lows. The fall in financial markets combined with the drop in housing values led to a loss of $14 trillion in household wealth from peak to trough. This particularly affected purchases of big ticket items such as durable goods. The automobile industry was especially hard hit. US car sales were in the 16 million units per year range for much of the decade. Sales bottomed around 9 million units annualized during the depths of the recession, a drop in market volume of over 40%. The "Cash for Clunkers" program boosted auto sales in July and August, but sales fell back in September. However, sales have picked up again in October and November. More broadly, consumer spending appears to be recovering. Total retail sales excluding auto sales have risen over the prior month in each of the last two months and total retail sales are growing on a year over year basis. Stabilization and growth in consumer spending is critical to the overall recovery since consumer spending represents around 70% of total GDP.
Nationally, it appears the worst is over for housing. Sales of new and existing homes have risen in recent months and prices have risen slightly from their lows. The inventory of homes for sale measured in terms of months of inventory available has fallen and investment in residential structures has increased in recent months.
Overall, economic news is generally trending up although it is expected that the news will be mixed during the early stages of the recovery. Moreover, it is unlikely that the national recovery will be robust. Strong recoveries are driven by strong building of inventory and rapid increases in sales of durables and homes. Firms are expected to be very cautious in rebuilding inventories and consumers are stressed due to lost wealth and high debt levels. These factors will limit the pace of the recovery.
Georgia's economy has generally tracked conditions in the national economy except that the downturn has been more severe. The Georgia unemployment rate has generally exceeded that of the US and the percentage increase in year over year job losses has been higher in Georgia than in the US. Housing activity in Georgia has fallen sharply. Housing permits issued fell by about 90% from peak to trough. Home prices have fallen by about the same amount in the metro Atlanta area as for a composite of 20 metro areas across the US. Prior to the housing correction, Atlanta home prices had not run up as quickly as they had in many other metro areas around the US. On a year over year basis, home prices in metro Atlanta are down as of September about 9.3% compared to 9.4% for the composite of 20 metro areas.

Program Budget Financial Summary

The pace of the downturn is moderating in Georgia. Initial unemployment insurance claims are down from their peaks and are running below year ago levels. Monthly job losses have fallen from their peaks and the year over year decrease in employment is moderating. This moderation is expected to continue provided the national economy avoids a double dip recession.
Georgia tax revenues have fallen sharply due to the recession. The first half of FY 2009 saw revenues fall by less than 3% but the second half of the fiscal year saw revenues fall by over 18%. Revenue performance has continued to be

extremely negative through November measured on a percentage growth over the prior year basis. One caveat is that the comparison months so far have been prior to the sharp downturns in revenues in FY 2009. It is expected that the year over year growth performance will improve as the comparisons ease further into the fiscal year. However, overall growth for the fiscal year will remain firmly negative and revenue growth into FY 2011, while positive, will be subdued.

Personal Income Appendix 1: Georgia Economic Report Detail
Nominal personal income has fallen in recent quarters in the US and in Georgia. These declines, measured compared to the prior quarter, are relatively rare over the last 40 years and are indicative of the severity of the current recession. Georgia experienced three consecutive quarters in which total personal income declined from the prior quarter. Weak labor markets and declining non-wage income contributed to the declines. However, personal income performance has improved in the last two quarters.

Labor Markets
Georgia's labor market continues to shed jobs but the pace of job loss has moderated in recent months. During the depths of the recession, monthly job losses averaged over 24,000. In September and October, job losses averaged about 7,000; a significant improvement but still distant from job growth.

Labor market weakness is also broad based across industry sectors. Only the Education and Health sector saw net job growth year over year. The declines in employment were most severe in construction and manufacturing. The drop in construction employment is tied directly to the sharp correction in housing activity in Georgia and the emerging weakness in commercial construction. The drop in manufacturing reflects the concentration in Georgia's manufacturing base of textiles and flooring tied to housing and the general weakness across the entire US manufacturing base.

The decreases in employment have been accompanied by rising unemployment. Georgia's unemployment rate peaked in July 2009 at 10.3%. This is the highest unemployment rate recorded in Georgia since this data was

first reported in 1976. In recent months, the unemployment rate has stabilized near this peak and equaled 10.2% in October 2009. The stabilization reflects both workers leaving the work force and decreases in net job losses. The unemployment rate tends to be a lagging indicator of economic conditions. Thus, it is possible that the rate will rise as the labor market strengthens and discouraged workers return to the work force.

Unemployment claims have improved in recent months. Initial unemployment claims rose rapidly during last fall and winter and as labor markets contracted sharply and layoffs rose. These claims then fell rapidly but bounced up in the middle of the summer. In recent weeks, the downward trend has resumed and new claims were down in November on a year over year basis. Continuing claims have also fallen indicating that some workers are returning to employment but also that some workers have used up their benefits.

Housing Sector
Georgia's housing market shows signs of stabilizing at a very low level. Permitting activity grew from its winter low through mid-summer before moderating slightly. In prior years, permits ramped during the spring and early summer and then fell sharply in fall and early winter. It appears that, through October at least, permitting activity is near a bottom.

Home prices have also shown some signs of improvement. The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index for the Atlanta metro area has increased from the prior month for the last four months and the year over year percentage decline has decreased over that period. A similar pattern has occurred for the composite index for 20 metro areas. This indicates that home prices are rising from their lows in many metro areas across the nation.

The key concern regarding the housing sector is

looming foreclosures. The improvement in home sales has taken eased the downward pressure on prices. However, mortgage foreclosure rates continue to build in Georgia and nationally and this could lead to further increases in homes for sale and mounting pressure on home prices. In addition, mortgage delinquency rates are also rising suggesting that the pipeline of foreclosures remains full.

ADJUSTED BASE -- The beginning point for development of the state budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The adjusted base consists of the current fiscal year Annual Operating Budget, less non-recurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize pay for performance.
AGENCY FUNDS -- Funds collected by the various agencies of state government and retained to be spent on agency programs. These funds are estimated in the Governor's Budget Report and the Appropriations Act. The agencies can change the amount of these funds by amendments to the Annual Operating Budget based on actual collections during the year. Also known as Other Funds.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE (DISTILLED SPIRITS) TAX -- A state excise tax per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax per liter of distilled spirits; an excise tax per liter upon the first sale, use, or final delivery within the state and an import tax per liter on all alcohol.
ALLOTMENT -- The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure.

Once a quarterly allotment is approved for an agency, that agency can draw funds as needed.
AMENDED BUDGET REPORT -- A document submitted by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor recommends spending changes in the current fiscal year for the agencies of state government. The Amended Budget Report can involve budget additions, budget deletions or transfers of funds within agency object classes. Also known as the "supplemental budget" or the "little budget."
AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) An act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The purpose of the Recovery package is to jump-start the economy to create and save jobs. The Act specifies appropriations for a wide range of federal programs, and increases or extends certain benefits under Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The legislation also reduces individual and corporate income tax collections, and makes a variety of other changes to federal tax laws.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB) -- A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and functional budget. The plan details a level of expenditure by object class for a given fiscal year and must be approved by OPB before taking effect.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENT -- Revisions to the annual operating budget, which must be submitted to

OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/ function to another.
APPROPRIATION -- An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public funds, a sum of money not in excess of the sum specified for the purposes in the authorization.
APPROPRIATIONS ACT -- Legislation that has been passed by the General Assembly to authorize expenditure of state, federal and other funds during a given fiscal year. While under consideration, it is called an appropriations bill.
ATTACHED AGENCIES -- Smaller agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for "administrative purposes only" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive funding through the larger agency. Authorities by law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur.
ATTRITION -- A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees.
AUTHORITY -- A public corporation formed to undertake a state responsibility that operates in a competitive financial and business environment and should be run like a business corporation. Most authorities generate revenue and need to operate without the strict regiment of rules that confine most departments of government. Authorities usually have the power to issue revenue bonds to construct facilities.
B
BUDGET -- A complete financial plan for a specific fiscal year as proposed in the Governor's Budget Report and as modified and adopted by appropriations and revenue acts.
BUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY AND PLANNING ACT -- An Act passed by the 1993 General Assembly that fundamentally changed Georgia's budget process. The Act made accountability and efficiency the driving forces behind budget decisions, as well as the attainment of agreed-upon goals that have been outlined in comprehensive strategic plans for the state and each of its agencies. 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.

Program Budget Financial Summary

FISCAL AFFAIRS TRANSFERS -- Appropriations are made through allocations to specific object classes, and funds must be spent within those object classes. Language in each Appropriations Act states that "...no funds whatsoever, shall be transferred between object classes without the prior approval of at least 11 members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This...shall apply to all funds of each budget unit whatever source derived." Fiscal affairs transfers can be considered at any time at the Governor's request but are usually considered near the end of the fiscal year to help agencies to meet emergency needs and to address unanticipated budget problems.
FISCAL YEAR -- Any 12-month period at the end in which financial accounts are balanced. The state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. The federal fiscal year begins October 1 and ends September 30.
FRINGE BENEFITS -- Benefits that are provided to state employees over and above their salaries, as an inducement to employment. These benefits include retirement, health insurance and employer Social Security contributions.
FUNDS [i.e., state, total, other] -- As used for the general purposes of the budget summaries and schedules in this document, unless otherwise noted, refers to state revenues available or received. The state's specific governmental accounting fund classifications are documented in the state Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by the Department of Audits and Accounts.

Guaranteed Revenue Bonds can only be issued for specific purposes as outlined in the State Constitution.
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. These funds are allocated in this manner to facilitate cash flow for DOAS but are available to DOAS only as services are provided to each agency.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX -- The tax is based upon an individual's federal adjusted gross income with specific adjustments as provided by state law.
INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX -- Tax based on premiums on persons, property, or risks in Georgia written by insurance companies conducting business in the state.
INTER-AGENCY TRANSFERS -- A transfer of funds between state departments, either in an Appropriations Act or by the State Office of Planning and Budget pursuant to a legislative authorization.
L
LAPSE -- The automatic termination of an appropriation. Since most appropriations are made for a single fiscal year, any unexpended or unencumbered fund balances at the end of the fiscal year lapse into the state's general treasury, unless otherwise provided by law. 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. Line-items appropriations may be vetoed by the Governor.

Transportation Freight Projects for FY 2011 GO Bonds
(debt service by State General Funds)

Governor's Priority:

Port Connector Project (Jimmy Deloach Pkwy Ext)- 4 lane limit access facility - Chatham County

PE underway (funded by Georgia Ports Authority)

ROW $31 million

CST $90 million

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$121 million RW & CST

The proposed Jimmy DeLoach Connector is a 3.5 mile limited-access facility that would provide a fast and reliable connection between I95, State Route 21, and the Garden City Terminal of the Port of Savannah. Freight coming into and going out of the Georgia ports arrives to 80% of U.S. industrial markets in a two-day truck or rail haul. Currently the 4th largest and fastest growing container port in the U.S., Savannah will be the port-of-choice for origin/destination along the high-speed freight corridor between the East Coast and Asia, and it will be one of the few ports able to receive fully-loaded Post-Panamax ships that will be sailing upon opening of the Panama Canal capacity improvements. To prepare for the additional tons of cargo in 10 years of freight flow resulting from the expanded waterway capacity, additional roadway capacity is necessary to provide "first-mile" and "last-mile" connectivity for the flow through the Port of Savannah to points throughout the U.S. Infusion of funds for this project will address a facility that is critical to future economic growth and stability by enabling upgrade of the existing roadway infrastructure and working in concert with Georgia's investment of $1.2 billion in capital improvements to port infrastructure.

I-75 Managed Lane from SR 155 to SR 138- widen one lane to the middle Henry County

PE underway (funded)

ROW (limited RW)

CST $80 million

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$80 million CST

I-75 in south metro Atlanta area currently carries over 148,000 vehicles per day and the Atlanta Regional Commission projects this to be

one of the fastest growing areas in the Capital region through 2030. The three primary counties in this corridor have a population that is

expected to increase by nearly 40% in the next 20 years and generate the third highest employment growth rate in the metro Atlanta area.

This portion of I-75 is also a critical freight linkage between Michigan and Florida, carrying some of the heaviest truck volumes in the

Southeast U.S. Current traffic congestion makes trips through this corridor 25-75% longer, causing 20,000 trucks to sit idling on the

interstate every day. Funds for Managed Lanes on I-75 South will provide vital mobility-choice for auto and transit riders. As commuters

choose to avoid traffic congestion by traveling in the Managed Lanes, capacity in the General Purpose Lanes will be freed up to

accommodate current and future truck passage, which is projected to grow 55% in this corridor by 2030, the second most of all corridors

in the metro Atlanta area. Over 20 years, the congestion mitigation as a result of this project would reduce delay costs for automobiles by

$302 million and for trucks by $218 million.

Conley Road Grade Separation @ Norfolk Southern RR Clayton County

(Includes relocating Conley Road and SR 3) PI 0001817

PE underway (funded by Clayton County)

ROW $12 million (funded with local money and federal aid)

CST and Utility Cost $32 million

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$32 million CST

The project is the realignment of Aviation Boulevard and Conley Road to form C.W. Grant Parkway including a grade separation that will

span both US 41 and Norfolk Southern Rail Line. The project has been identified as the key transportation facility in the Mountain View

Redevelopment Plan and will enhance freight movement by connecting Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport and I-75 west of the project

with the existing and proposed commercial, warehouse and distribution development to the east. The project also provides positive

crossing protection that is required for the future commuter rail line by providing a grade separation over NS rail line.

US 441 Widening (City of Clayton to North Carolina) Rabun County

PI 122090

PE underway

ROW $50 million

CST $54 million (to be funded at later date)

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$50 million R/W

Of the remaining GRIP corridors in the State, US 441 in Rabun County carries the highest daily traffic. US 441 was recently widened to

4 lanes south of the City of Clayton and North Carolina widened US 441 from the state line to Franklin nearly 20 years. This 7.5 mile

stretch is the last remaining section to be widened from Athens, Georgia north to Franklin, North Carolina. This corridor is also an

important freight corridor for NE Georgia feeding into the foothills of west North Carolina.

Projects 422220, 422230, 422235, & 431530 are the last three projects to provide a 4-lane highway between Columbus and Bainbridge

(Fl. State line) on the US 27 GRIP corridor. US 27 is a major freight corridor linking the Southwest Georgia towns to I-185 & I-85 to the

North and I-10 in the South. There is 31% truck traffic on corridor with 26% being combination trucks. Decatur County Industrial Park,

located on US 27 in the City of Bainbridge, serves as home to BP-Amoco, Shaw Industries, American Fibers & Yams, and Coca-cola.

Commodore Industrial Park is also located on US 27 in Bainbridge. Port Bainbridge accesses Gulf of Mexico via Apalachicola River

while CSX and Georgia Southwest railroads connect the city to Columbus and Valdosta. 90% of Early County's land is devoted to

farming or timber and 33% of the jobs are in manufacturing. The County has barge access on Chattahoochee River, mainline Norfolk

Southern rail service to Albany. (Note: US 27 was cleared with a GEPA document and therefore is not eligible to receive federal funds.)

SR 17 Widening - Stephens County

SR 17 from I-85 in Lavonia to Toccoa is an important freight corridor for the state. SR 17 was recently widened to 4 lanes from I-85 to

the Franklin County line. There are two remaining projects that widened SR 17 to the Toccoa Bypass which connects back to I-985/SR

365 corridor. RW acquisition is currently underway for both projects. There is also a large existing industrial park anchored by

Caterpillar and North Georgia Technical College along this section of SR 17. This corridor is heavily traveled by trucks and has a higher

accident rate than the statewide average.

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$10 million R/W

State Route 133 is a major corridor in South Georgia that provides a vital connection between Albany and Valdosta with direct access to

I-75. SR 133 is currently used for Interstate commerce by commercial trucks traveling to and from cotton, pecan and other raw material

processing plants in southwest and southeast Georgia. Albany is a major distribution/manufacturing center that generates commercial

truck traffic needing to reach I-75. Not least among those is the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany that trucks military supplies to

Jacksonville, Florida for shipment around the world. The widening of SR 133 would provide direct access to I-75 in Valdosta for these

commercial facilities in Albany and Moultrie.

State Owned Rail Line Investment, Statewide

Total 2011 Bond Amount needed:

$10 million CST

The State Rail Program would reinvest in the 540 miles of GDOT owned rails and bring them to a state of good repair and economic

competitiveness. Many of the rail lines owned by GDOT do not meet minimum standards for short line rail operations. The state

proposes to improve all state owned operating lines to a Class III standard. This will allow travel speeds between 35 to 45 mph and allow

the use of 316,000 lb cars on these facilities. Work envisioned for this effort will include rehabilitation and/or replacement of structurally

deficient bridges on these lines as well as replacement of base materials, ties, and rail. An investment plan for bringing our lines to a state

of good repair is in place with a goal of having all lines at a Class III standard in ten years.
