Barnes Governor \n \nSTATE OF GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR \nATLANTA 30334-0900 \n \nTO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY \nThis amended budget for Fiscal Year 2001 represents the adjustments that we can now make to invest our surplus funds into critical areas of state government. I am pleased to report that all of our reserves continue to be full. We increased the revenue shortfall reserve to 4% and added $138 million. Current revenue collections are on target to meet this year's estimate. As in last year's supplemental budget recommendation, I pledge to you that my administration will continue sound financial planning and use of our citizens' tax dollars. \nI am pleased again this year to recommend that we carry forward $166 million of our surplus into Fiscal Year 2002 to continue our commitment to property tax relief for Georgia citizens. \nThe A+ Education Reform Act of 2000 requires smaller class sizes to improve student achievement. To meet these new classroom needs in local school systems, I am recommending $468 million for public school construction in a special supplementary appropriation. Additionally, there is $113.3 million for fast growth capital outlay for school systems. In addition, the education portion of the bond package in this amended budget is $377 million, or 64% of the total bond package, of which $93 million is for local systems. The combined total of $674.3 million represents the largest investment the state has ever proposed for local school construction. There is also $115.6 million for mid-year adjustment for enrollment growth. To also support the new accountability requirements of education reform, I have included $12.9 million to continue and complete the development of Criterion Reference Competency Tests and continue the work on high school end of course tests for core subjects. I am recommending $36.3 million to provide for an increase in student eligibility for the HOPE Scholarship Program in public colleges and technical colleges. Also included is $1.8 million to provide Promise II Scholarships for paraprofessionals pursuing teaching careers because demand exceeded expectations. \nFor public safety, I am proposing that the Department of Corrections spend $6.8 million in bond funds to renovate various facilities and another $1.7 million in bonds and $13.3 million in matching federal funds to construct 700 new probation detention center beds in Butts and Fulton counties. To improve the ability of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to support local law enforcement in investigations and forensics, I am including $7.2 million to add new GBI laboratory and morgue facilities in Dahlonega and at the Southwest Region Laboratory. In Juvenile Justice, I am also proposing $17.2 million in bonds for various repairs and renovations, pre-design for 2 new youth development centers and additional funds for construction projects underway. \n \n TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Page 2 \n \nTechnology is critically important to our economic development, education reform and creating a more effective state government. There is $9.9 million in this amended budget proposal to fund operating expenses for the Georgia Registration and Title Information System (GRATIS) in the Department of Revenue. Also, there is $2 million in state funds and authorization to spend $12 million in agency funds that will support several empowerment projects in the Georgia Technology Authority. I am also recommending $200,000 to fund a study of voting in Georgia. \nFor continued economic prosperity, I am recommending $5 million to Jekyll Island Authority for continuing improvements to the historic district and to begin renovation of the golf courses. I am also recommending $16.7 million in bonds for projects associated with the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center. For expansion of our ports, I am recommending $6 million in bonds for the design of a container berth. I am also proposing $25 million in bonds to the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority for loans for local water and sewer projects and clean water and drinking water capitalization grants. I am including $3.9 million to be matched by $15.6 million in federal funds for acquisition of right-of-way and to begin site preparation of the Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal. Finally, $2.6 million in additional funding is provided for the Quick Start Program for the increasing number of projects for new and expanding businesses in Georgia. \nI am announcing and recommending $38.8 million in Tobacco Funds to fund the Georgia Cancer Coalition. These funds will support creating a Tier 3 Cancer Center of Excellence at Grady Hospital, staff for the coalition, five eminent scholars in bioinformatics for the Georgia Research Alliance, among other initiatives. I am recommending $100.4 million because of a budget deficit in Medicaid Benefits created primarily by rising costs for prescription drugs. Also, I am proposing a total of $3.1 million to support initiatives for Georgia's Plan for the Uninsured. I am proposing $11.1 million to increase PeachCare for Kids benefits to cover the projected growth in the number of children covered. I am also recommending $1.7 million in additional funds for institutional foster care. \nOur economic success has provided the opportunity to make these investments that I am proposing in this amended budget. I think you will find this amended budget proposal to be a fiscally sound and prudent use of our taxpayer's resources. I pledge to continue this philosophy during my administration. \nSincerely, \n \nREB/rj \n \nRoy E.

PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \nState law (50-27-1 et. seq. O.C.G.A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: a voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and teacher technology training. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $723,743,295 for FY 2001 including surplus and agencies estimated lapse from FY 2000. The Governor recommends $723,743,295 for the following programs. \nVoluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year Olds \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-year olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $229,645,928 in FY 2001 to serve 62,500 four-year olds at public and private sites. \nHelping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2001 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in 1993 and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum will be eligible to receive a HOPE scholarship at any Georgia public institution or eligible private college in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE scholarship in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE scholarships in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE scholarships in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive scholarships for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 19931994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE scholarships at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive scholarships for their senior year. HOPE scholarship awards for eligible students attending public institutions will be equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE scholarship awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will receive funds equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to a maximum of $3,000. HOPE scholarships will be awarded in addition to existing state-funded Tuition Equalization Grants. \nAll students working toward a diploma or certificate at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in 1993, who are working toward a degree at public technical colleges in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum will receive a HOPE scholarship. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, students working toward a degree at public colleges in the state who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE scholarship in their freshman year, will be eligible for a HOPE scholarship for their sophomore year. Prior to FY 2001scholarships were equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees plus an allowance for textbooks. Effective in FY 2001, HOPE scholarships are no longer offset by Pell grants earned by eligible students. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical colleges. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \n15 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Student Finance Commission administers the HOPE program. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in FY 2001 is projected to be $261,487,721. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students.

Total cost for FY 2001 is $657,426. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in FY 2001 is $232,330. \nThe HOPE Teachers Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in FY 2001 will be $3,496,800. \nThe PROMISE Program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of course-work in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a PROMISE scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, onefourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, childcare, transportation or other expenses related to education at the student's discretion. The cost of this program in FY 2001 will be $1,960,000. \nThe PROMISE II Program provides financial assistance to paraprofessionals and instructional aides seeking a degree in education.

I am pleased to report that all of our reserves continue to be full. The revenue estimate for the current fiscal year is positive. As in last year's supplemental budget recommendation, I pledge to you that my administration will continue sound financial planning and use of our citizens' tax dollars. \nI am pleased again this year to recommend that we carry forward $166 million of our surplus into Fiscal Year 2001 to continue my commitment to property tax relief for Georgia citizens. \nIn education, I am proposing that we get a jump start on reform efforts recommended by the Governor's Education Reform Study Commission by including $50 million in state and lottery funds for a comprehensive, statewide student information system. I have also included $11.4 million to continue and complete the development of Criterion Reference Competency Tests and begin the work on high school end-of-course tests for core subjects. These tests will provide the foundation for accountability for our education system and schools. Additionally, there is $66.9 million for mid-year adjustment for enrollment growth and $73.8 million for fast growth capital outlay for school systems. My bond package in this amended budget provides $281 million for new construction in our education agencies including $93 million for local school construction, $113 million for Regents new construction and $75 million for new construction of technical institute facilities. \nFor public safety, I am proposing to expand the number of transition, diversion and detention beds, as well as funding for improving the quality of facilities in the Department of Juvenile Justice. In the Department of Corrections, I am proposing $6.9 million in bond funds to match federal funds for an additional 1,243 new adult incarceration beds. Also, using a combination of bonds and federal matching funds, I propose to replace three Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) with new facilities and add to education, mental health, medical and supervisory space at three other existing facilities. These are changes necessitated by the Memorandum of Agreement that we entered into with the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Court. To improve-the ability of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to support local law enforcement in investigations and forensics, I am including $6.6 million to replace or add new Georgia Bureau of Investigation laboratory and morgue facilities in Savannah and Macon. \n \n Technology is critically important to our economic development, education reform and creating a more effective state government. There is $23 million in this amended budget proposal to continue implementation of Investment for Modernization of computer systems in the Department of Revenue. I have included $10 million to pilot a student wireless computer project in selected schools in the state that will support recommendations of my education reform commission. Also, there is $36.2 million proposed to support economically driven research and development through the Georgia Research Alliance and the Yamacraw project, both aimed at strengthening our capacity to compete for technology based industries. \nFor continued economic prosperity, over $23 million is recommended for development of our tourism infrastructure in Augusta, Savannah, Jekyll Island and Bainbridge, leveraging over $70 million in other funds for this effort. I am also recommending $22.9 million in bonds for projects associated with the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center. I am proposing $100 million in bonds to continue construction of the Governor's Road Improvement Program. For expansion of our ports, I am recommending $18 million in bonds for new docks, $12 million in Ports Authority funds for equipment and property acquisition, and $8.7 million in bonds for projects to help maintain the Savannah Harbor navigation channel. There is $5.4 million recommended to fund buses for Clayton County and vans for regional van pools and for regional transit and transportation studies. I am including $5.9 million to be matched by $23.6 million in federal funds to initiate construction of the Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal. Finally, $2.6 million in additional funding is provided for the Quick Start Program for the increasing number of projects for new and expanding businesses in Georgia. \nHealth care costs continue to increase beyond our current employee and employer revenues and it continues to be financially difficult to provide coverage to state and Board of Regents employees. This year we are recommending a supplementary appropriation of $263 million of the surplus to fund a projected deficit this year and to shore up our insurance reserves. Look for me to bring to you in the session potential solutions to solve this ongoing problem. \nIn the human resources area, I am proposing $3 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to begin assessments of TANF adults who have received benefits for 30 months. Also, I am recommending $3.5 million in additional funds for foster care and adoption programs. \nOur economic success has provided the opportunity to make these investments that I am proposing in this amended budget. I think you will find this amended budget proposal to be a fiscally sound and prudent use of our taxpayers' resources. I pledge to continue this philosophy during my administration. \n \n AMENDED FY 2000 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nREVENUES FOR EXPENDITURE \n The $648,818,821 in net new appropriations for the remaining months of FY 2000, as proposed by the Governor in this Amended Budget Report, came from the following sources: \nSTATE GENERAL FUNDS $273,809,460 in state general fund surplus (Balance of $702,809,460 state surplus after providing for property tax relief and the Year 2001 supplementary appropriation) $47,717,603 in estimated agencies' lapse $126,961,098 in Midyear Adjustment Reserves $5,870,997 in motor fuel excess collections $32,932,188 in surplus of prior year agency reserves \nLOTTERY FUNDS $136,672,034 in lottery surplus $24,855,441 in estimated agencies' lapse \n The recommendations in this document will increase the state's FY 2000 amended appropriations to $13,939,922,701. \n In addition to the above, $429,000,000 in state general fund surplus has been set aside for two items: $166,000,000 to provide property tax relief, and $263,000,000 for state health insurance programs. \nRECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES \nEDUCATION (LOTTERY FUNDS) \nPublic Schools \n $10,000,000 to pilot a student wireless computer project in selected elementary and middle schools across the state. \n $20,000,000 for hardware and software to support the new Student Information and Fund Accounting system. \n $73,865,604 for fast growth capital outlay at the $100 million entitlement level. \n $1,500,000 to accommodate anticipated growthin the Post Secondary Options program. \n \n $1,587,151 to fund 20 new Pre-Kindergarten classes and related expenses for the Office of School Readiness. \nStudent Finance \n $3,181,000 to provide for an increase in student eligibility for private college scholarships.

O.C.G. A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: a voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and teacher technology training. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $704,527,475 for FY 2000, including surplus and agencies estimated lapse from FY 1999. The Governor recommends $704,527,475 for the following programs. \nVoluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year Olds \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-year olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $226,372,162 in FY 2000 to serve 62,900 four-year olds at public and private sites. \nHelping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for FY 2000 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in 1993 and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE scholarship at any Georgia public institution or eligible private college in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE scholarship in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshmen year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE scholarships in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE scholarships in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive scholarships for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE scholarships at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive scholarships for their senior year. HOPE scholarship awards for eligible students attending public institutions will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE scholarship awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. HOPE scholarships will be awarded in addition to existing TEG grants, but second-tier HOPE TEG grants are no longer available. \nAll students working toward a diploma or certificate at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in 1993, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, students working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants for their sophomore year. Each grant will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical institutes. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a ce.rtificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \n12 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Student Finance Commission administers the HOPE program. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in FY 2000 is projected to be $205,162,366. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan, which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for FY 2000 is $763,422. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in FY 2000 is $225,575. \nThe HOPE Teachers Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in FY 2000 will be $3,500,000. \nThe PROMISE Program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their fIrst two years of course-work in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a PROMISE scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, onefourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, childcare, transportation or other expenses related to education at the student's discretion. The cost of this program in FY 2000 will be $975,000. \nThe Engineering Scholarships are provided as service cancelable loans to Georgia residents who are engineering students at private accredited engineering universities in Georgia and retain them as engineers in the state. Recipients must work in an engineering-related fIeld one year for each $3,000 received. The cost of this program in FY 2000 is $525,000. \nThe Postsecondary Options Program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 29-2-161 O.C.G.A. The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options Program. The cost of this program in FY 2000 is $6,000,000. \nThe total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor, is $217,151,363. \nCapital and Technology Expenditures for Education \nFor the Department of Education: a total of $143,400,921 is recommended in FY 2000 for the following - fast growing systems which will fund 35 projects in 24 participating systems at the $100 million entitlement level ($73,865,604); technology in the classroom ($32,741,317); assistive technology ($5,000,000); equipment and software for the student information system ($20,000,000); to pilot a wireless computer demonstration project ($10,000,000); educational technology centers ($858,000) and distance learning ($936,000). \nFor Regents, the University System of Georgia: a total of $92,650,980 is recommended in FY 2000 for the following equipment and renovations for the Georgia Research Alliance ($24,200,000); loose equipment funds for Regents projects funded in FY 1999 ($13,645,000); renovation funds to Georgia Military College to complete the Old Capitol building ($1,824,980), building modifIcation funds to Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission ($1,015,000); the Equipment and Technology Trust Fund ($30,000,000); Campus Electronic Crossroads project ($7,000,000); \n13 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \nGALILEO Interconnected Libraries initiative ($4,000,000); continuation of the Chancellor's initiatives ($7,466,000), Internet Connectivity initiative ($1,500,000) and the purchase of educational programming and funds for Zoo Atlanta at Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission ($2,300,000). \nFor the Department of Technical and Adult Education: a total of $24,952,049 is recommended in FY 2000 for construction related equipment.. \n \nLOTTERY PROCEEDS BY AGENCY AND PROGRAM \n \n$24,952,049 Department of Technical and Adult \nEducation 4% \n$211,151,363 Georgia Student Finance Commission \n30% \n \n$92,650,980 Regents 13% \n$375,773,083 State Board of \nEducation 53% \n \n$261,003,950 Capital and Technology Expenditures \n37% \n \n$217,151,363 Scholarships \n31% \n \n$226,372,162 Pre-Kindergarten \n32% \n14 \n \n GENERAL ASSEMBLY \n \nDEPARTMENT FINANCIAL SUMMARY \n \nBudget Classes / Fund Sources \n \nCURRENT AMOUNTS \n \nPersonal Services - Staff Personal Services - Elected Officials Regular Operating Expenses Travel - Staff Travel - Elected Officials Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 ContractsStaff Per Diem, Fees \u0026 ContractsElected Officials Per Diem Differential Computer Charges Telecommunications Photography Expense Reimbursement Account \nSub-Total \n \n16,414,913 4,053,668 2,581,216 \n109,500 7,000 \n1,155,000 5,000 \n290,036 \n2,474,356 \n542,140 980,000 665,000 100,000 1,132,800 \n30,510,629 \n \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \n \n30,510,629 \n \nPROPOSED CHANGES \n217,545 455 \n70,000 1,202,000 (542,140) \n542,140 1,490,000 1,490,000 \n \nGOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS \n1.

Today I present to you a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2000 which will take us into the new millenium. The sound financial principles and progressive investment strategies that have always guided this state are continued in this Budget Report. \nMy revenue estimate for Fiscal Year 2000 is a conservative low range estimate of 5.6% over the current Fiscal Year 1999 budget estimate. \nWe are well into a sustained growth period, and we should remain cautious as many indicators tell us that a slowdown could be on the horizon. However, we have done much in Georgia over the past several years to keep our economy strong. These efforts have encompassed not only economic development initiatives, but also emphasized a strong technical school network to provide for a flexible workforce, a strong and nationally recognized university system, competitive salaries for public school teachers and investments in our infrastructure and transportation systems. \nAs a newly elected Governor, I have recently heard the collective voice of Georgians who want us to continue making this state the best place in which to live and raise their families. In meeting this goal, we face serious challenges that are going to require all levels of government and the private sector to accept responsibility for some quick and definitive action. The problems we face threaten things as fundamental to us as the quality of our air and water and a safe and prosperous region in which to live and raise our families. In this regard, I have included startup funding for the new Georgia Urban Transportation Management Authority that I am proposing. This new organization will tackle the problem of addressing serious environmental and quality of life issues while at the same time providing a first class transportation system that allows mobility for a growing population. \nGeorgians also want some relief from their local property taxes. You will find in this budget the first installment on my pledge to increase the homestead exemption to $20,000. I propose that $83 million be used to double the exemption to $4,000, thereby eliminating property taxes on the first $10,000 of fair market value. \nIn this budget you will see that we are continuing with a dramatic addition to our capacity to keep criminals off our streets. I recommended a significant capacity increase in the Fiscal Year 1999 amended budget and we are providing new funding for the operating costs of new prison beds in this budget. The budget I present to you today includes $48.3 million to annualize and provide new funding for 6104 prison beds in our adult system. However, it is going to take more than just building prisons. I want to explore ideas of increasing education, providing for job skills and strengthening the family unit as equally important challenges facing us to lower the crime rate. \n \n I am especially pleased to recommend budget items that need to be accomplished to keep our focus on providing the best possible environment for our children's education. My budget proposal contains significant new funding, $143.5 million, to keep the salaries of our school teachers competitive. I am recommending to almost double the funding for alternative schools to make them a more effective means of dealing with special needs children. We must make sure that the opportunity for a quality education is not denied to anyone because of a disruptive classroom environment. You will also find that this budget continues my commitment to the HOPE and Pre-Kindergarten programs with $193.8 million and $224.8 million in lottery funds respectively. \nWe have included a major initiative for economic development to unite the University System, the Department ofIndustry, Trade and Tourism and the Georgia Research Alliance. This initiative will be the catalyst for making our state a preeminent leader in design of electronic components. This effort will help us to continue our goal of establishing a balanced and diversified industry base as we face the dual challenge of competing globally for technology markets and developing our workforce for traditional and other growth industries. \nOur welfare rolls continue to decline and this attests to the success of the reform efforts that have been underway the past few years. This reform effort proves one thing; if given a choice, Georgians would rather work than be on welfare. The state has been giving welfare applicants that choice by providing training and other support that is temporarily needed. The welfare reform success has given us the ability to use some of our welfare block grant funds to provide childcare to parents who are working in low wage jobs and who must spend a large percentage of their take home pay on childcare. This budget allocates an additional $30 million of the block grant to childcare for working parents in low-income jobs; bringing the total state investment for childcare to $173.3 million. \nTo keep our criminal justice system working properly I am recommending $6.3 million to add 85 positions for the State Crime Lab. This will bring the total new investment in the Crime Lab for this Session to $28.1 million. And for our juvenile justice system, my budget proposal includes over $18 million for an array of improvements required to meet the state's second year commitment in our memorandum of agreement with the United States Justice Department. \nAs you review the rest of the proposals in this Budget Report I believe you will see we have allocated our tax revenues in a manner that provides adequately for ongoing vital services, improves the educational opportunities for our children and makes strategic economic investments to keep Georgia strong and vibrant. \nI look forward to working with all you during this 1999 Session of the General Assembly. \n \n F.Y. 2000 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS Governor's Recommendations \n \nAPPROPRIATIONS AND REVENUES \n Appropriations totaling $13,291,103,880 are recommended for expenditure in F.Y. 2000, which begins on July 1, 1999 and ends on June 30, 2000. \n The appropriations would be funded from the following sources: \n- $12,515,000,000 from taxes and fees as estimated by the Governor, an increase of $666,000,000, or 5.6% over the F.Y. 1999 budget of$II,849,000,000. $543,000,000 from lottery proceeds. $148,828,880 from the Indigent Care Trust Fund. $83,000,000 from F.Y. 1998 surplus carried forward. $1,275,000 from special revenue collections. \nRECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES \nPROPERTY TAX RELIEF \n $83,000,000 to begin the Governor's Property Tax Relief Program that will raise the statewide homestead exemption value from the current amount of $2,000 to $4,000.

Insofar as they become embodied in the appropriations bill, these choices will delineate the state's involvement in the economy of Georgia. The Report points to the needs and opportunities for participation which the Governor ranks uppermost. It builds in the programs and projects which he believes can reach to these purposes. It indicates the composition and level of funding which are believed necessary to reach these goals. Finally, the Report specifies the amount of revenue which, in the Governor's view, merits deflection from the private sector. \nCast differently, the Report presents the results of an expenditure competition. As judge of this competition, the Governor has been sensitive to the momentum of the state's ongoing outreach into the private sector, to the \nadvantages of scale iIi public provisions, to continuing \ncontributions from learning-by-doing, and to the practical call of politics for quick dispersions across constituencies and locations of service improvements, infrastructure additions, and operating innovations. While addressing F.Y. 2000 directly, the Report reaches backwards to gain perspective and reaches forwards to anticipate an evolving menu of \"high tech\" and globally-imposed needs. \nBesides the inter-program review, total expenditures recommended in the Report have been weighed against the withdrawal of a like amount of purchasing power from the private sector of the economy. To the Governor, expected benefits from the proposed participation by the state government have had to outweigh any erosion of the economic wellbeing of individuals and businesses caused by the payment of taxes and fees. It has not been enough that expenditures and revenues be in balance as the Constitution requires for appropriations. Rather, the expenditures and revenues have had to be brought into balance at a level where the net impact on Georgia's economic activity would be clearly positive. \nWhile seeking impact balance, revenue flows have not been afforded sovereignty. Just as programs can be augmented, curtailed, or shifted to suit needs, so the Governor has considered the revenue structure to be malleable if the calls for collections so dictate. Taxes can be cut, rates can be smoothed, and bases can be narrowed or broadened. \nOverall, the approach to budget balance has had to be dynamic. Estimates of pecuniary and behavioral impacts have relied upon the demonstrated long-term interactions of various programs and infrastructures with private economic incentives. Revenue yields have been estimated, not from their own record, but from their interaction with private \n \npropensities to produce, to move, and to achieve growth. Indeed, it is this fundamental linkage of revenue flows to the activity of individuals and businesses which justifies this \"Economic Report\" as an introductory segment of the Budget Report for F.Y. 2000. \nI. The Revenue Components The Budget Report involves revenues of several \ntypes. The dominant one is \"net revenue\", a total commonly referred to as the state's general revenue. In the latest audit (F.Y. 1998), it made up 93.9% of the state's total collections. Taxes constituted 96.1% of the net revenue and interest and fees made up the remaining 3.9%. Among taxes, those on income and sales accounted for 88.5% ofthe total. Taxes on motor fuel (both sales and gallons levies) were next in importance at 4.9%. Importantly, though motor fuel taxes are counted in net revenue, the Constitution requires appropriation of these monies to the Department of Transportation for expenditure on roads and bridges. Net revenues are defmed annually by the State Auditor. \nA second revenue component is the proceeds from the sale of the state's general obligation bonds. The face amounts of new bonds issued to finance capital projects are listed in the Report both for F.Y. 2000 and for the years 2001 through 2004. Still, they are not counted as revenue for purposes of budgetary balance. The accounting approach which puts these monies \"outside\" of revenues and \"off budget\" is commonplace among states although it is not followed by the federal government. Yet, bond proceeds do enter the Report, albeit indirectly. Each year expenditures are directed to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund for \"debt service\", that is to cover payments of interest and repayments of principal. The Constitution gives debt service first claim on general revenues. Moreover, the Constitution limits the volume of bond proceeds the state can gain by requiring that debt service in any fiscal year be no more than 10% of the prior year's net revenues. In F.Y. 1998, the state's payments into the sinking fund amounted to 5.4% of the 1997 net revenue. \nA third revenue component consists of voluntary payments by hospitals into the Indigent Care Trust Fund. While not drawn into the state's treasury by a tax or fee, monies contributed to this fund become appropriable by the state for medical services specifically linked to Georgia's indigent. The amounts to be subscribed each year are settled by the indigent-care hospital group without direct participation by the state. The willingness of hospitals to contribute follows from provisions by which federal funds for indigent care can be \"leveraged\" by private transfers to the state. \n \n14 \n \n A fourth component is the proceeds from the \n \ntrigger federal dollars. Lottery proceeds, important both in \n \nGeorgia Lottery. These revenues are specifically estimated \n \namount and in their dedication to specific educational \n \nand spent in the Report. However, the revenues can be \n \npurposes, have been estimated conservatively enough that \n \nappropriated only for narrowly-defmed purposes related to \n \ntheir adequacy to meet scholarship \"entitlements\" has never \n \neducation.

While lottery proceeds must in reality \n \npart of the funds available for expenditure by the state, no \n \nconnect to the private and public economies of Georgia and, \n \nconsideration has ever been given to statutory or other \n \nno doubt, to those of other states where the Georgia Lottery \n \nadjustments which might serve to augment or restrain the \n \ncompetes, a common explanatory economic influence for \n \nfiscal-year yield from this source as needs might require.

The income tax reduction of1998 is built into these estimates. \n15 \n \nIII. The F.Y. 2000 Estimate The Governor's estimate of net \nrevenues for F.Y. 2000 is $12.662 billion. Of this total, $12.515 billion is available for budgetary expenditure and $0.147 billion can be directed into the state's two budgetary reserves. The revenue estimate for F.Y. 2000 is $0.685 billion or 5.7% above that for F.Y. 1999. The expenditure which it can support is $0.666 billion or 5.6% above the budget in the current year. Interestingly, growth in net revenues in F.Y. 2000 is more than two and one-half times that experienced in F.Y. 1999 ($0.259 billion or 3.2%). In the main, the \n \n discrepancy reflects the impact of an income \n \ntax cut for individuals which became effective \n \nFigure II \n \nfor tax-year 1998. Without that tax relief, the revenue gain in F.Y. 1999 would have been roughly $0.532 billion or 4.5%. \n \nRevenue/lncome \n \nDONUNANCEOFNETREVENUE IN PERSONAL INCOME \n \nAs may be seen from Figure I, the rate \n \n7.0% ,--------------------------, \n \nof growth in net revenues for F.Y. 2000 is \n \ntoward the lower end of the range of increases experienced since the downturn in July of \n \n6.8% \n \n1990. The gains in 1991 and 1992 were \n \nminuscule (negative in real terms) because of the laggard recovery. The 1999 weakness, as \n \n6.6% \n \nmentioned, relates to an income tax cut. This leaves F.Y. 1998 as the only other year with weaker growth. Yet its increase of only 5.3% was limited by a fourth-quarter shift in the \n \n...... \nl: \n... 6.4% \nIl- \n \npattern of tax payments. With that shift \n \nremoved, the fiscal year advance would have \n \n6.2% \n \nbeen 6.6%. Consequently, the net revenue \n \nincrease estimated for F.Y. 2000 is the weakest \n \nof the years of the 1990s marked by economic expansion. \n \n6.0% \n \nA remarkable dimension of fiscal \n \npolicy in Georgia is the long-term stability of \n \nthe state's absorption of personal income. In Figure II, the dominance ratio of net revenues \n \n70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84 86 88 90 92 94 96 98 00 \n \nto personal income in F.Y. 2000 approximates that in the \"good times\" ofthe late 1980s. Had \n \nFiscal Year \n \ntaxes not been reduced substantially in the \n \nFigure III \n \n1990s (a shrinkage of close to $1 billion), the \n \nDollars \n \nNET REVENUE PER CAPITA* \n(Ratio Scale) \n \nrate of participation of the state in Georgia's economy would have climbed to nearly 7% in F.Y. 2000. In keeping with the economic calculus offered earlier, the restraint on \n \n$1,600 \n \ncollections has no doubt reflected a belief that wellbeing (and growth) are aided by keeping \n \n$1,500 \n \nthe state's involvement at a consistent and low relative level. \n \n$1,400 \n \nOn a per capita basis, as is shown in Figure III, net revenues have climbed at an \n \naverage annual rate of about 3.8% per year \n \n$1,300 \n \nfrom F.Y. 1990 to 2000. To be consistent \n \nwith Figure II, this must mean that income \n \nper person has grown sufficiently over the \n \n$1,200 \n \nperiod to keep the dominance ratio stable. \n \nThis observation could be interpreted as \n \nsaying that the government's participation \n \n$1,100 \n \nI I I -- \n \n1 \nI:.:': I 1: i ':i.:: - :.;.:!I.:I: :.:i ! :1:.:':1:..'. \n \nwith and in the private sector has remained below levels that might interfere with economic advance. Thus, the exaggerated increase in per capita revenues in F.Y. 2000 \n \n90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 Fiscal Year \n \nshould not be of concern. The expansion in net revenues since \nthe end of the 1980s has been driven by \n \n*Estimates of Population used in F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000 \n \nincome taxes. This is shown in Figure IV. \n \nSince 1990, sales tax revenues have climbed \n \n16 \n \n by 56.8% while net revenues have risen by 76.0%. The virtual absence of sales tax growth from 1996 through 1998 reflects the phased elimination of the exemption on food purchases. The increases in F.Y. 1999 and 2000 merely reflect a return to the trend of increasing sales that follow increasing income. Yields of the income tax have risen by 98.8% since 1990. The tax cut of 1998 will slow that pattern of advance (as did the cut in 1995) but only temporarily. As time passes, net revenues come to be more and more closely tied to the vanguard of economic advance -- growth in income (output) per person. \nIV. The Supportive Economy The relatively slow growth of estimated net \nrevenues in F.Y. 2000 seen in Figure I is explainable in terms of a corresponding slowing in the growth of the state's tax bases. Georgia's personal income which was advancing at around 7% per year from 1994 through 1997 is now rising at between 5 and 6%. Although compensation of workers is still climbing at an annual rate of about 4%, the \n \ngains of employffient over year-ago levels have been drifting downward from nearly 4% to barely 2.5%. With population increasing by only 2% per year, the 4% (and even 5%) increments of the middle 1990s can hardly be sustained. Today, with full employment and little rise in the work-force participation rate, there is little likelihood that the bases for the individual income and sales tax can grow by more than 5 to 6% per year. With corporate incomes levelling, the contribution of the income tax to revenue growth will become even weaker. \nAlthough the revenue estimate for F.Y. 2000 connotes easing economic and fiscal growth, there is no indication that a threat of recession has been built into the Governor's perspective. In economic jargon, perhaps he sees a \"soft landing\" for the private and public sectors in F.Y. 2000. Be that as it may, a slowing of pace and a recession are distinct phenomena. The drop in the growth rate of revenues to below 6% in no way indicates that the synergisms of economic slippage that produced the rates of close to one percent in F.Y 1991 and 1992 have reemerged. \n \nIndex of Growth \n \nFigure IV GROWTH IN REVENUES AND MAJOR TAXES* \n(F.Y. 1990 = 1.000) \n \n2.000 \"T\"\"\"-------------------------~,:--.., \n \n. , Income Taxes \n \n, \n \n~.

Now in its third year of phased implementation, RBB is designed to assist the Governor in carrying out his vision for a better Georgia by supporting a more efficient, effective government and making government more responsive and accountable to Georgia citizens. \nWhen fully implemented, RBB will move the state towards a results oriented budget as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act. This new system will inform the public on the progress that state programs are making in addressing the economic, education, social, and service needs of the citizenry. It will provide state policymakers, agency managers, and program customers with a mechanism to identify successful and unsuccessful strategies for carrying out public policy and addressing public problems. \nLast year, state agencies identified program goals and the projected annual desired results for each goal. For many agencies, this process required that program managers identify and collect new types of data Because RBB is a new process, many programs had not collected information on program results and so could not report on actual achievements or quantify projected results. Other programs had difficulty in identifying measurable program outcomes. \nAs part of the strategy to phase in Results-Based Budgeting, OPB examined F.Y. 1999 RBB submissions to determine areas in which agencies needed assistance in developing valid, useful measures and data. Based on this analysis, OPB once again partnered with the Merit System's Organizational Development and Training Division to conduct a series of one-day training sessions for agency personnel. During these training sessions, participants used guidelines, examples, and team activities to improve and, sometimes, redesign their F.Y. 1999 RBB submissions. \nAfter training, many agencies requested assistance in developing their F.Y. 2000 RBB submissions. When requested, OPB staff provided individualized training and worked closely with agencies' program staff to help them develop the submissions. \nAgencies' F.Y. 2000 Results-Based Budgets have improved significantly. While approximately 49% of the F.Y. 1999 performance measures addressed actual results, at least 70% of this year's submissions included quantified measures of actual and desired results. Many program staff have expanded their results measurement to assess the effectiveness of specific sites and program strategies. Other program staff have identified and have begun collecting new types of effectiveness data. \n \nThis year, the Budget Report includes all executive agencies, their programs and subprograms, program goals, actual results for F.Y. 1998, and desired results for F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000. The public now will have an opportunity to see how effective government programs are in addressing the problems they were created to solve and in providing the services they were created to deliver. \nThe F.Y. 1998 actual results will provide a baseline upon which program managers can project future results. As data to measure these desired results are collected, actual progress can be compared to the F.Y. 1998 baseline and the projected desired results. \nWhen fully implemented, RBB will enable the Governor, the General Assembly, program managers, and the public to relate program results to program expenditures. This information will assist the Governor and the General Assembly in allocating scarce resources to best benefit the citizens of Georgia by: \n Focusing the legislative process upon the policy implications of funds spent in state agency programs and services. \n Identifying similar programs across state agencies and assessing their combined impact. \n Identifying successful and unsuccessful programs. \n Determining when environmental influences indicate changes in program strategies because current strategies no longer meet existing needs. \n Enabling programs to be evaluated and funded according to their actual benefit to program customers and taxpayers. \n Aiding policy makers in determining if it is in the best interests of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result. \n Enhancing the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in policy areas across agency boundaries. \n Enabling program managers to compare the results of different strategies and program sites to identify superior performance, ascertain the reasons for the enhanced performance, and transfer successful strategies to other sites throughout the state. \nResults-Based Budgeting will provide state policymakers and the general public with information on how government operates, how policy initiatives are implemented, and the results of efforts and expenditures that matter to the taxpayers. \n \n18 \n \n STATE STRATEGIC PLANNING \n \nSince the passage of the Budget Accountability and Planning Act of 1993, strategic planning in state government has become institutionalized. Since the passage of this act, two state strategic plans and over 60 state agency strategic plans have been completed The new administration of Governor Roy Barnes has begun the development of his new state strategic plan which will outline for the citizens and the employees of state government his vision for the State of Georgia. This represents a growing commitment to strategic planning that is providing a comprehensive management tool to align state agencies' plan with the Governor's state strategic plan. \nThe importance of state strategic planning cannot be overstated The state strategic plan provides citizens, the customers of state government, with the Governor's written vision of where he wants to take the state. The state agencies are looking for guidance in the areas of policy and results on which they should focus their programs and activities. This articulation by the Governor of his priority policy initiatives guides the state government actions in the direction that the Governor wants to take the state. \nThe state agencies will then have a template to follow in developing their state agency strategic plans. This strategic management component will encourage innovation by agencies to get results and move the state toward the Governor's proactive vision for Georgia. It will also compliment and will be integrated with their agency's results based budget Each agency's strategic plan, aligned with the state strategic plan, will provide a policy focus and the targets for developing their results based budget. \nA new element in the state strategic planning process will be the development of \"policy benchmarks\" for the policy areas that the Governor presents in his new state strategic plan. Following the statewide implementation of strategic planning and results based budgeting, a seedling effort towards even greater accountability at the policy level of state government began in 1998. This \"policy benchmark\" effort began with representatives from state agencies meeting in the summer of 1998 to identifY \"preliminary\" policy benchmarks for the 1998 State Strategic Plan six policy areas. (See examples in next column.) This initiative was designed to be a learning effort for state agencies in the development of higher level policy 'results. ' These benchmarks will assist the state in tracking progress toward achieving goals set forth in the vision for each policy area In the development of the new state strategic plan, these policy benchmarks will playa key role in linking state agency results from their results based budgets to their own strategic plans as well as upward to the state strategic plan. \n \nGovernor Barnes will present his strategic plan in the first year of his administration. It will help state agencies in the development of their plans, their results based budgets and in identifYing those broad policy concerns and areas that cross agency and organizational boundaries. \nExamples of Policy Benchmarks \n Educationally Involved Communities  Measures:  Number of Volunteers/Supporters  Adult/Continuing Education Activity  Local Financial/Resource Support \n Safe Communities  Measures:  Reduction in Public Safety Incidents  Reduced Drug UseNiolence in Schools  Personal Investment in the Community \n Healthy Communities and Georgians  Measures:  Reduced Infant Mortality Rate  Increased Access to Care for All Georgians  Reduced Pregnancy Rate Among School-age Girls \n Clean Air  Measures:  Ecological Indicators  Conformity with State and Federal Standards  Analysis and Reduction of Violations \n Opportunities Available for People to Develop Positive Life Skills  Measures:  Increased Adult Literacy Rates  Increased High School Completion Rates  Reduced Need for Welfare Benefits  Reduced Disciplinary Actions in High Schools \n \n19 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nThe F.Y. 2000 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with the Governor's budget recommendations to the 1999 General Assembly. \nThis Budget Report reveals the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for F.Y. 2000, which begins July 1, 1999 and ends June 30, 2000. It also includes detailed information about past, current and projected revenue collections; past expenditures and budgets; program policies, and state organizational structures. This document is released in connection with the Governor's Budget Message to the Georgia General Assembly during the fIrst week of its annual session. \nAn Amended Budget Report, released during the week prior to the session, details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the fIscal year underway when the General Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 1999 General Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fIscal year that ends on June 30, 1999. \nThe Budget in Brief is published each year after the legislative session ends and covers all new or amended expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the next fIscal year (often called the outyear) and for the current fIscal year in effect. \nCHANGES IN F.Y. 2000 \nThe F.Y. 2000 Budget Report is organized essentially in the same format as the previous edition, but there is one noteworthy change. The third phase the Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) program is implemented. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \nResults-Based Budgeting is a recent initiative that divides all state government activities into programs. The future of all programs, in terms of their continuing existence and funding level, will be determined by how well they measure up to the performance measurements that will be recommended in the future by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly. \nRBB information is presented in two parts-Program Summa!\"ies and Program Fund Allocations. \nThe fIrst phase of Program Summaries in the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided information on each program by name, purpose and goals. The second phase, documented in the F.Y. 1999 Budget Report, identifIed desired results expected from each program during F.Y. 1999. The second phase also refmed and identifIed programs more in line with the state's original expectations. \n \nThe F.Y. 2000 Budget Report includes phase three, which involves for the fIrst time the identifIcation of benchmarks against which desired results will be measured. New desired results for F.Y. 2000 are also in this year's document. The F.Y. 2001 document will measure actual results for all RBB programs against previously published desired results. \nThe Program Fund Allocations section provides the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget recommendations for each program and the F.Y. 1999 actual appropriations. Total and state funds are shown separately. The recommendations and prior appropriations are both displayed by agency programs, attached agency programs and pass-through funding. This display provides a fuller accounting of an agency's mix of funds than has historically been provided in the state's budget documents. \nREDIRECTION \nA new dimension was added to the State of Georgia's budget process beginning with F.Y. 1997 - Redirection. The concept will be entering its fourth year in F.Y. 2000, and it has been one of the main instruments in making possible increases in funding for specifIc areas while the state sales tax on groceries was being eliminated and during a period when revenue growth has been moderating and citizens are demanding improved services. \nAn understanding of Redirection and its impact on the budget is especially important in understanding the philosophy that is guiding the Governor's approach to the budget. While the impact of redirection is spread throughout the entire budget, it is highlighted in two sections in each department-the Financial Summary and Budget Summary pages. \nRedirection requires all agencies to reexamine how they do business. The Governor wants them to study their expenditures carefully and eliminate or downsize those activities that are no longer needed or have a low priority as compared to other higher priority services. \nTo achieve this goal, all department heads had to present their F.Y. 2000 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least 5 percent of an agency's F.Y. 1999 adjusted base budget. Agencies are allowed to include general effIciency cuts, or reductions in their operating expenses, as it part of their redirection proposals. The reallocated funds identifIed may be used for three purposes: \n Fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources. \n \n20 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \n Fund growth in fonnula and entitlement-related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas. \n Increase fund availability for priority areas within state government as a whole. \nThe F.Y. 2000 Redirection level could not exceed 99 percent of the F.Y. 1999 adjusted base budget. \nThe adjusted base budget was detennined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the F.Y. 1999 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 1999 salary adjustments. \nOnce the adjusted base budget was detennined, agency heads were allowed to request enhancement funds for new or expanded services requested above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests, however, were limited to 4 percent of the adjusted base. \nGenerally speaking, enhancement funds represent a funding level that in recent years has been known as improvement fund requests. The major difference is that there is now a cap on enhancement funds whereas there was no cap on funds requested for improvements. Also, much of the funding that was once requested as improvement funds must now be requested in redirected dollars, not the add-on dollars represented by enhancement allocations. There is no limit on the amount of capital funds that can be requested. \nTHE F.Y. 2000 BUDGET REPORT \nDepartments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this F.Y. 2000 Budget Report, with each section providing a different level of infonnation about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section. \nORGANIZATION CHART \nEach agency's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the major divisions comprising each department. The description of services perfonned by each division is noted in the Roles and Responsibilities section. \nThe numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October 1, 1998 for each division. The total number of positions budgeted for each department is listed underneath each department's title at the top of the page. \n \nHIGHLIGHTS \nThe Highlights page for each department provides a summary of new or expanded appropriations that are being recommended for that department by the Governor. The page may be omitted for any agency that does not have sufficient enhancements to justify a separate page for such highlights. \nFINANCIAL SUMMARY \nThe Financial Summary for each department provides up to 12 different levels of budget infonnation by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations. \nThe frrstpage of each summary includes the following infonnation concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests: \n F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998 actual expenditures  F.Y. 1999 current operating budget  F.Y. 2000 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals \nThe second page of each summary includes the following infonnation concerning the F.Y. 2000 Governor's recommendations: \n Adjusted Base  Funds to Redirect  Additions  Redirection totals  Enhancement totals \nEach Financial Summary includes the total funds recommended or appropriated to each department, including state general funds, federal funds, funds collected and retained by departments, and any other funds available to them. The totals for each category of fund sources are shown at the bottom of the tables. Total State Funds, displayed in bold type, represents state general funds either recommended or appropriated to the departments. \nThe number of positions and motor vehicles are the last items displayed under each table. \nBUDGET SUMMARY \nThe Budget Summary explains the Governor's recommendations, as displayed by object class on the second page of the Financial Summary section, from the perspective of new budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new, expanded or redirected programs and services that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial \n \n21 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nSummary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary. \n ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The fIrst line lists the existing state appropriations for F.Y. 1999, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for F.Y. 2000 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases and reductions for non-recurring expenditures. These adjustments to the 1999 appropriation total provides the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his F.Y. 2000 budget recommendations. \n REDIRECTION FUNDS. The section on Funds to Redirect is an explanation of the numbers displayed on column 2 of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary. The Additions section explains column 3, while the Total Redirection Level number represents column 4. \n ENHANCEMENT FUNDS. Column 5 is explained in this section, separated by Enhancement Funds and Capital Outlay. The Total State Funds number matches with column 6. \nFUNCTIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY \nFunctional budgets by total and state funds are displayed in this section for the current year's appropriations and recommendations by the Governor for the upcoming fIscal year. \nROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES \nThis page describes what departments are responsible for doing by law, policy or mandate. It also describes how departments are organized to carry out their missions. \nSince the organization charts for each department no longer carries information about the responsibilities of each division within the department, the Roles and Responsibilities page for F.Y. 2000 combines the contents of both pages in prior publications. \nSTRATEGIES AND SERVICES \nThis section discusses the major budget and policy changes taking place in each department. The discussion focuses on major initiatives that are in the fmal stages of implementation, those that are currently being implemented and possibly expanded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future. Charts and graphics are used to dramatize these major initiatives. \n \nCAPITAL OUTLAY \nThe state's Capital Improvement Program was expanded last year from 4 to 5 years to be more consistent with the timeframe of the State Strategic Plan and most agency Strategic Plans. In addition to listing each agency's capital outlay requests and the Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 2000, the Capital Improvement. Program displays capital outlay needs for fIscal years 2001 through 2004, as identifIed by the agencies. \nThe multi-year Capital Improvement Program recognizes that most major capital projects should have suffIcient planning, analysis, and predesign work completed prior to a formal request for design and construction funds, and encourages agencies to view the budget requests as the fIrst year of their capital plan. \nBoth the F.Y. 2000 capital requests and recommendations and the fIscal year 2001-2004 projections are organized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided into 5 project type categories. \nFirst, projects are grouped by such general or common subject areas as institutions, authorities, commissions, centers, or by common relationships, such as Major Markets, Wildlife Resources, Local School Systems or Regional Youth Development Centers. \nSecond, the major groupings are subdivided into the following capital project type categories: Property Acquisition, New Construction, Renovations and Improvements, Major Repairs, and Equipment. The total project costs are listed for all projects. The Governor's recommendation is provided for each requested project. \nAPPENDIX \nSeveral items of supplemental and general background information are displayed in this section, including the state surplus for the prior 2 years, a 3-year record of authorized positions, historical information and current data about state bonds and debt, an explanation of the basis of budgeting and accounting, an overview of Georgia's budget process, a statistical overview of the state, the identifIcation of acronyms, and a glossary of budget-related terms. \n \n22 \n \n Financial Summaries \n \n ESTIMATED FUND AVAILABILITY, BUDGETS AND SURPLUS \n \nSURPLUS: State Funds Smplus Audited Agencies' Lapse - State Funds Lottery Smplus Estimated Agencies' Lapse - Lottery Total Smplus \nRESERVES: Midyear Adjustment Reserve Motor Fuel Total Smplus, Lapses and Reserves \n \nFISCAL YEAR 1999 \n \nFISCAL YEAR 2000 \n \n$543,948,043 57,035,670 47,474,340 15,959,000 \n$664,417,053 \n \n$117,181,823 6,992,004 \n$788,590,880 \n \nREVENUES: State Revenue Estimate Insurance Anti-Fraud Levies PSC No-Call Revenues F.Y. 1998 Carry Forward Suplus for Property Tax Relief Indigent Care Trust Fund Lottery Proceeds \n \n$11,849,000,000 775,000 \n148,828,880 530,000,000 \n \n$12,515,000,000 775,000 500,000 \n83,000,000 148,828,880 543,000,000 \n \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE \n \n$13,317,194,760 \n \n$13,291,103,880 \n \n24 \n \n GEORGIA REVENUES: F.Y. 1996 - F.Y. 1998 AND ESTIMATED F.Y. 1999 - F.Y. 2000 \n \nF.Y.1996 Reported \n \nL General Funds Income Tax - Corp. \u0026 Indiv.

This reserve acts as a savings account or \"rainy day\" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account up to three percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation. \nThe status of the reserve for the last 14 fiscal years follows: \n \nFY 1998 FY 1997 FY 1996 FY 1995 FY 1994 FY 1993 FY 1992 FY 1991 FY 1990 FY 1989 FY 1988 FY 1987 FY 1986 FY 1985 \n \n351,545,470 333,941,806 313,385,534 288,769,754 267,195,474 122,640,698* \n-0-0-0194,030,593 176,727,306 162,639,563 150,621,753 138,234,402 \n \n* Partially filled \n \n32 \n \n LOTTERY RESERVES \nGeorgia'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. \nThe Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10 percent of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. If net funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage. \nFunds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $58,143,873 on June 30, 1998. \nThe lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account. \nThe scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over five years at a rate of 10 percent a year until the reserve equals 50 percent of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year. \nLottery surplus available at the end ofF.Y. 1995 was sufficientto meet immediate needs in the amendedF.Y. 1996 budget and left enough funds to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. The State Auditor, at the request of the Governor, fully funded the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount from the 1995 surplus. The Subaccount's balance on June 30, 1998 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of $43,682,957. \n \nThe two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1998 total as follows: \n \nShortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount \n \n$ 58,143,873 77,718,586 \n \nTOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES \n \n$ 135,862,459 \n \n33 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \nState law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.G.A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $543,000,000 for F.Y. 2000. The Governor recommends $543,000,000 for the following programs. \nVOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-yearolds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $224,779,234 in F.Y. 2000 to serve 62,500 four-year-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 26,887 four-year-olds, and all other private providers serving 35,613 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,321.77 in base earnings per student. \nThe reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for F.Y. 2000 for the 36-week program represent a 2% increase over the F.Y. 1999 rates and are as follows: \nWith a State-Certified Teacher: \nZone 1*$91.68 Zone 2*$83.00 \nWith a Non-Certified Teacher: \nZone 1*$82.67 Zone 2*$73.99 \n* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for child care sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Family and Children's Services in accordance with federal regulations. The zones are as follows: Zone 1 -- Metro Atlanta and Zone 2 - All Other. \nThe total funding includes $19,573,882 for at-risk services including resource coordination services for at-risk four-year-olds and their families. In addition, there is $800,000 to fund start-up costs for the expansion from 61,000 students in F.Y. 1999 to 62,500 in F.Y. 2000. There is also $2.1 million for training of new teachers and $5,148,630 for administration of the program. \n \nHELPING OUTSTANDING PUPILS EDUCATIONALLY (HOPE) AND OTHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F.Y. 2000 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in 1993 and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE scholarship at any Georgia public institution or eligible private college in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE scholarship in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 1997-1998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE scholarships in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE scholarships in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive scholarships for theirjunior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE scholarships at the end oftheir sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive scholarships for their senior year. HOPE scholarship awards for eligible students attending public institutions will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE scholarship awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. HOPE scholarships will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants (TEG), but second-tier HOPE TEG grants are no longer available. \nAll students working toward a diploma or certificate at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in 1993, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant. \n \n34 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \nBeginning in the 1997-1998 school year, students working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants for their sophomore year. Each grant will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical institutes. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-relatedpurposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \nThe HOPE program will be administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in F.Y. 2000 is projected to be $224,822,482. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for F.Y. 2000 is $800,844. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 is $215,000. \nThe HOPE Teacher Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 will be $3,500,000. \nThe Promise Program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of course work in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, \n \nchildcare, transportation or other expenses related to education. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 will be $1,095,000. \nThe Engineering Scholarships are provided as service cancelable loans to Georgia residents, who are engineering students at private accredited engineering universities in Georgia, and to retain them as engineers in the state. Recipients must work in an engineering-relatedfield one year for each $3,000 received. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 is $600,000. \nThe Postsecondary Options Program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 20-2-161 O.C.G.A. The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options Program. The cost of this program in F.Y. 2000 is $4,500,000. \nThe total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $235,533,326. \nCAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR EDUCATION \nFor F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends a total of $45,354,183: $7,466,000 to continue funding for the Chancellor's Initiatives funded in F.Y. 1998, $15,000,000 for the Equipment, Technology and Construction Trust Fund, $1,500,000 to continue the Internet connection initiative, and $2,000,000 to purchase distance learning programs for GPTC; for the Department of Technical and Adult Education, $12,500,000 to replace obsolete equipment, $6,064,243 for equipment for new and retrofitted facilities, $552,000 for Georgia Virtual Technical Institute equipment, and $271,940 in equipment for new and expanded programs. \nTECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING \nFor technology training, equipment, and related technology needs, the Governor recommends a total of $37,333,257 for the following: for the State Board of Education, $33,975,257, or $25 per FTE, for all local school technology, teacher training, and equipment purposes, including vocational equipment for new schools; also for the State Board of Education, $858,000 to upgrade equipment at the Technology Training Centers and $2,500,000 for Assistive Technology for special needs students. \n \n35 \n \n GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED LOTTERY EXPENDITURES By Agency, F.Y. 2000 \n$266,612,491 SBOE 49.10% \n$25,966,000 Regents 4.78% \n$19,388,183 DTAE 3.57% \n$231,033,326 GSFC 42.55% \no SBOE (State Board of Education) \nII GSFC (Georgia Student Finance Commission) DDTAE (Department of Technical and Adult Education)  Regents (Regents, University System of Georgia) \n36 \n \n GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED LOTTERY EXPENDITURES By Program, F.Y. 2000 \n$235,533,326 Scholarships \n43.37% \n \n$37,333,257 Technology and \nTraining 6.88% \n$45,354,183 Capital Expenditure \n8.35% \n \n$224,779,234 Pre-Kindergarten \n41.40% \n \n[oJ \n \nScholarships Capital Expe \n \nndit \n \nure \n \nII Pre-Kindergarten  Technology and Training \n \n37 \n \n RECOMMENDED SALARY ADJUSTMENTS \n \n1.

Of an initial budget totaling $174,311,537 for F.Y. 1999, direct state funds totaled only $41,586,669,or24%. \nThe Department operates through the Administration, Statewide Business Services, General Support Services and Information Technology divisions, which provide support services to state agencies. \nDOAS SERVICES Information Technology Services designs, develops, \nprograms, manages and maintains data processing and telecommunication systems for agencies. The division provides centralized data processing services that include payroll, personnel, accounting, budgeting, vehicle management and inventory services adaptable to all agencies and furnishes agencies cost effective telephone, data, video (including teleconferencing, distance learning and telemedicine), voice processing, paging and radio communications services along with radio and telephone maintenance services. \nSpace Management assists agencies in the location of adequate and safe space in state-owned facilities or commercially leased space and assists agencies in the design of space. This unit maintains a current computerized inventory of all state-owned buildings on Capitol Hill and state-occupied commercially leased space. \nState Purchasing provides centralized purchasing services for state agencies, develops and administers statewide contracts and solicits bids and issues purchase orders for agencies. The section monitors agencies' purchase practices for compliance with state regulations, and develops and maintains state specifications and standards for purchasing. \nCentral Supply Services purchases and warehouses commonly used, high-volume supplies and sells them to state agencies and local governments at a cost savings. \nMotor Vehicle Services (MVS) operates a daily vehicle rental program for state agencies in the Metro Atlanta area and offers a comprehensive vehicle maintenance management plan on a cost per mile basis. MVS also provides full-service and self-service fuel and oil to state agencies in the Metro Atlanta area. \nPrinting Services provides reprographic printing services to all state agencies and other governmental organizations. \n \nSurplus Property is responsible for acquiring property being surplused by state agencies and the federal government and making the property available to other state agencies and local government equitably and cheaply. These services are provided through warehouses located in Atlanta, Americus and Swainsboro. \nRisk Management insures all state real and personal property through a self-insurance program that maintains adequate and economical coverage and assists state agencies and authorities in establishing safety programs and driver improvement programs designed to reduce accidents in their agencies. \nMail and Courier Services provides timely delivery of inter-office mail to Capitol Hill agencies, and courier delivery to user agencies not located on Capitol Hill. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services manages, \ninvests and disburses most state revenues. The Georgia Building Authority provides maintenance, \ngroundskeeping, food service, parking and security for the employees and facilities within the Capitol Hill office complex and other specified areas. \nThe State Properties Commission coordinates the purchase, management, inventory records and disposition of real property acquired and owned by the state. \nThe Health Planning Review Board conducts appeal hearings on decisions of the Health Planning Agency. \nThe Georgia Net Authority provides centralized marketing, provision, sale, and leasing, or executing license agreements for access on line or in volume, of certain public information maintained in electronic format to the public. \nThe Office of State Administrative Hearings conducts administrative hearings of contested cases for specified state agencies. \nDISTANCE LEARNING AND TELEMEDICINE UNIVERSAL FUND \nThe Distance Learning and Telemedicine Fund finances a statewide telecommunication network that utilizes audio and video systems to teach in Georgia's public schools, and to enhance and improve the delivery of medical care throughout the state. Both systems allow communication from a central point to a remote area. \nAUTHORITY Title 50-5, 40-3548 Georgia Code Annotated. \n \n59 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe \n \nDepartment \n \nof \n \nAdministrative Services (DOAS) \n \nprovides an assortment of services to \n \nstate agencies. A few of the areas in \n \nwhich the department furnishes \n \nagencies services or support are \n \ndescribed below. The items featured \n \nare the: Phoenix Program \n \n(replacement of the state's mainframe \n \ncomputer financial accounting \n \nsystems), Order Process Improvement \n \nProject, conversion to the Statewide \n \nTransport Network, implementation \n \nof the state purchasing card program, \n \nprivatization of state fuel card \n \nmanagement program, and \n \ndevelopment of the alternative fuels \n \nprogram. \n \nPHOENIX PROGRAM The state, prompted by the need \nto make the its financial accounting systems compliant with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards, and the problem of remediating these same systems to become Year 2000 compliant, is replacing these systems in an effort called the Phoenix Program. The department, because it is responsible for maintaining these mainframe computer systems, is the primary agency charged with implementing the replacement for the current systems under the guidance of the Phoenix Steering Committee. This committee is comprised of representatives of the Office of Planning and Budget, Legislative Budget Office, Department of Audits, DOAS and State Merit System. \nWhen the project is completed, the present assortment of financial, purchasing, property inventory and personnel information and accounting systems will be replaced by software modules which are Year 2000 compliant, and can be upgraded easily as industry standards and technology change, and as GAAP fmancial reporting standards are revised. Implementation of these replacement systems began in August 1998 and is slated to be fmished by July 1999. \n \nORDER PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT \nIn September 1997, the department, after a review of its customer service operation, initiated the Order Process Improvement Project (OPIP) as the primary means of improving and expanding its ability to efficiently and effectively respond to customer needs regarding products and services acquired from DOAS. When completed, this project will have completely revamped the way customer service activities are organized and performed within DOAS. \nThe Project's objective is to redesign and develop standard operating processes to meet several objectives: \n Reduce the time to process orders, procure items and bill for services. \n Improve the ability of DOAS and its customers to determine the status of an order. \n Improve inventory accuracy and lower the amount of money invested in inventory. \n Streamline work and eliminate duplicate processes within the department. \n Automate the redesigned operating processes to the extent feasible. \n Convert to operating systems and practices which support the use of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) compliant accounting. \n Replace existing department internal operations computer systems which are not Year 2000 compliant. \nSeveral recommendations have resulted from this project and are currently being implemented. Two major recommendations are the consolidation of all the department's customer service activities into a central customer service center; and identifying all functions related to procurement, inventory and warehousing and organizing them into a single section within the department. The central customer \n60 \n \nservice center is scheduled to begin as a pilot operation during F.Y. 1999 with the entire program expected to be implemented by the first quarter of F.Y.2000. \nOnce the Project is complete, the department hopes to realize significant gains in product and service delivery, and in its customer service performance. These gains are anticipated to allow the department to operate more efficiently and at less cost in these areas. \nSTATEWIDE TRANSPORT NETWORK \nIn an effort to ascertain how and to what extent the state's video, audio and data network infrastructure must be updated due to changing technology and network customer needs, the department, in association with the Information Technology Policy Council, the Georgia Tech Communications Systems Center and several customers, conducted an analysis of the state's current network infrastructure. From this study, plans and requirements were developed to modernize the state's present network infrastructure. The resulting Statewide Transport Network (STN), which will be installed in phases over the next several years, possesses a number of advantages over the present more limited and increasingly outdated system. These advantages include additional capacity and bandwidth for video, audio and data transmission; wider range of services and features; faster response times; greater reliability; enhanced transmission security; and state of the art technology. The installation of the STN should help carry the state's networking capabilities and economic development opportunities well into the future. \nIMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE PURCHASING CARD PROGRAM \nThe department in its ongoing effort to make the purchasing process for state agencies more flexible, \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES - Strategies And Services \n \nresponsive and less expensive, has issued to and is now allowing state agencies to use purchasing cards for purchases of $2,500 or less. Using the purchasing card eliminates the excessive time and paperwork formerly necessary to process orders for small value items, allowing items to be obtained more promptly with a significantly reduced administrative cost. The bank vendor pays for the card purchases made and sends participating agencies a monthly invoice with a record of card transactions and card usage so these agencies can monitor the purchases being made, assure the purchases are valid, and that the card is being used properly. After the invoice has been reviewed and reconciled, the agency pays the bank vendor with a single check, as opposed to the numerous checks the non-card purchase approach requires. Since most of the card information is transmitted electronically between the bank and the agencies, the transfer of purchasing information to agency accounting offices is more accurate and timely. Under the purchasing card arrangement, an added benefit to companies selling small value goods to the state is that they are paid through the bank within three days. Conversely, in the case of a non-card purchase, payment through the agency would take several days to several weeks due to the extra paperwork and processing time associated with non-card purchases. \n \nThe department is aiming to eventually convince all agencies and institutions to enroll in the purchasing card program, and have the amount of non-card purchases of items costing $2,500 or less drop 75%. The department also hopes to expand the scope of card purchases beyond the current supplies, materials and equipment allowed. The expanded scope would include small value services and utilities as well as statewide, agency and mandatory source contract purchases. \nPRIVATIZATION OF THE STATE FUEL CARD \nMANAGEMENT PROGRAM \nFaced with addressing the limitations of the current state fuel purchasing card program (Peach Card) and the need to improve and consolidate reporting of state vehicle fuel purchases and use, the department supported by the recommendation of the Governor's Commission on Privatization is in the process of privatizing the state fuel card management program. Privatization has been determined to be the most cost-effective way of replacing the present outmoded Peach Card program with an expanded fuel purchasing card program which is capable of comprehensive, detailed reporting of fuel purchases and consumption. The new fuel card is a commercial credit card accepted statewide, linked to an electronic system which monitors and controls \n \ncard purchases and use. Agencies will be provided information for analyzing vehicle fuel usage. \nThe main advantages of a privatized, statewide fuel program are: \n Capture of point of sale data and electronic monitoring of fuel and \nservice purchases for a specific \nvehicle or operator. \n Access to an account manager for new card issuance, cancellation and monitoring. \n Exemption of fuel tax at all fuel card network locations to the extent legally permitted. \n Provide performance data for a specific vehicle or class of vehicles. \n Limit purchases to authorized users and products, and provide data to agencies to monitor for abuse. \n Ability to set restrictions for each card as necessary (e.g. maximum number of gallons allowed per transaction) based on the specific needs of an agency, or to have default restrictions or parameters by vehicle class or agency. \nThe department has now fully implemented the program. With the program fully operational, the state will have access to a more extensive network of fuel sites statewide for its entire fleet of vehicles, and greater capability to control fuel and vehicle operating costs. \n \n61 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nGENERAL SUPPORT SERVICES \nPURPOSE: Reduce cost and increase efficiency in meeting the business administrative and support needs of customers by offering a central source of goods and services. \nGOAL 1: DOAS will provide quality support services to customers reliably, efficiently and at competitive costs. \nDESIRED RESULT la: A random sample of 1,100 customers will show that 90% of the respondents rate DOAS motor vehicle, rapid copy, central supply, mail and courier, and surplus property services are satisfactory or better. \n \nMotor Vehicle \n \n74% \n \n85% \n \nRapid Copy \n \n80% \n \n85% \n \nCentral Supply \n \n70% \n \n85% \n \nMail and Courier \n \n68% \n \n80% \n \nSurplus Property \n \n68% \n \n80% \n \nF.Y. 1998 data based on responses of817 of 1,112 customers surveyed. \n \n90% 90% 90% 900!o 90% \n \nGOAL 2: Centralization of services will reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The department's efforts in these areas are also designed to protect farmers and consumers purchasing and selling agricultural products. The department's programs are operated jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. \nPLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The role of this division is to administer and enforce \nfederal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, treated timber, boll weevil eradication, and other related programs for environmental protection. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests, and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to be sure that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled. \nANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION The Animal Industry Division is responsible for \neradicating brucellosis, tuberculosis, pseudorabies, etc., in livestock. Additional responsibilities include: promoting certification and accreditation of cattle herds, qualification and validation of swine herds, and maintaining strict surveillance programs to prevent reinfection through total testing at livestock markets; assisting livestock producers through disease surveillance programs and laboratory diagnostic work; and gathering and reporting information on the poultry markets of Georgia. The division enforces the Dead Animal Act, Poultry Carcass Regulations, Garbage Feed Law, Prompt Pay of Auctioned Livestock Bill and both inter-state and intra-state livestock movement. Additionally, the division procures fertilizer, feed and lime samples for laboratory testing, and enforces the provisions of the Georgia Meat Inspection Act of 1969. \nMARKETING DIVISION The Marketing Division operates 6 regional markets \n(Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and \n \nThomasville) and 17 seasonal/local market places. This division collects and distributes market information on Georgia agricultural products, administers various marketing programs and locates and develops new international markets for Georgia products. They also provide supervision for the eight Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions. \nFUEL AND MEASURES This function ensures equity between buyers and \nsellers in commercial transactions by inspecting weighing and measuring devices to verify that the prescribed level of of accuracy for these devices is maintained. To insure compliance with applicable laws, the division enforces advertising laws regarding motor fuel and conducts examination/inspections of state warehouse and grain dealer. The division also inspects and tests commercial weighing devices, including scales, L.P. gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals and bulk plants. \nCONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of this division is to inspect retail \nfood establishments (i.e., grocery stores) for contamination and adulteration of retail food products. To ensure that all requirements are being maintained according to minimum federal and state standards, the division operates a dairy inspection program on farm and processing plants operating in Georgia, and provides information and statistics about milk and the dairy program to the industry and consumers. \nSEED TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION \nThis division produces, processes, treats, stores and distributes to seed producers and farmers foundation agricultural seed stocks of 18 or more different crops comprising 60 to 65 different varieties and hybrids. \nAUTHORITY Title 5, 42-208, Georgia Code Annotated. \n \n82 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Agriculture hosts a variety of programs and services in its regulation of agriculture and agriculture related industries, as well as in its education and protection of the public on agriculture and associated areas (Le., retail food stores, petroleum products, meat and poultry inspections, etc.). The following strategies and services illustrate activities occurring in the Food and Milk Safety, Pesticide and Pesticide Container Disposal, Agriculture Product Promotion, Fuel and Measures, Structural Pest Control, and the Animal Protection programs. \n \nFOOD AND MILK SAFETY \n \nThe Food and Milk Safety \n \nProgram consists of the following \n \ntypes of inspections: retail food store, \n \nmeat and milk. The rising number of \n \nnon-traditional \n \nretail \n \nsales \n \nestablishments expanding into the \n \nretail food sector prompted the \n \ndepartment to begin implementing a \n \nnew electronic inspection system to \n \ncope with the added workload and \n \nother demands these developments in \n \nthe retail food industry have placed \n \non the department's inspectors. \n \nAdditionally, the department's retail \n \nfood inspectors are also continuing to \n \nreceive advanced level training in all \n \nareas of food processing, including \n \nin-store meat processing, seafood \n \nhandling, deli operations and bakery \n \noperations in order to remain abreast \n \nof developments in the retail food \n \nfield. \n \nMeat inspectors currently inspect \n \nand license 148 red meat slaughter \n \nand processing facilities for the \n \npurpose of assuring the production of \n \nwholesome, unadulterated and \n \nproperly labeled meat/poultry \n \nproducts. The Meat Inspection \n \nprogram's responsibilities were \n \nexpanded in 1995 with the \n \ncommencement of the voluntary \n \ninspection program concerning ratite \n \n(Le. ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and \n \nprocessing. This new program allows \n \nred meat slaughter/processing plants \n \nto be approved to slaughter/process ratite meat for sale to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system, now fully implemented, electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history. The long range goal of the meat inspection program is to provide inspections that are comparable to those conducted at federally inspected establishments in degree and scope, and to effectively cross-utilize resources in performing these \n \nconjunction with local governments and organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 27:3,000 pounds of chipped plastic in F.Y. 1999 through these efforts compared to the 245,250 pounds recycled in F.Y. 1997. The division is also sponsoring a program, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to collect pesticides which can no longer be legally used. In this program, targeted illegal pesticides are collected and disposed of by authorized disposal firms to prevent illegal disposal of and environmental contamination from these outlawed pesticides. Since F.Y. \n \nFood Establishment Inspections FY 1994 - FY 1998 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \nFiscal Years \n \ninspections whenever possible. Milk safety inspectors inspect \ndairy facilities for compliance with health and safety regulations concerning milk and dairy products. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the development and testing of a new electronic inspection system to be eventually used nationwide. \nPESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL \nThe Pesticide Division is coordinating a program In \n \n1995, pesticide collections have been made in a total of 13 counties (Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Crisp, Dooly, Houston, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Peach, Schley and Sumter). A pilot program has been implemented in Screven County. \n \nAGRICULTURE PRODUCT \n \nPROMOTION \n \nThe department is continuing its \n \nactivities to promote Georgia \n \nagricultural products in campaigns \n \ndirected at the domestic and \n \ninternational markets. \n \nThese \n \ncampaigns use the theme \n \n\"Georgia...Always In Good Taste\" in \n \n83 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services \n \npublicizing and displaying Georgia products at food and trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing broadening the use of the \"Georgia...Always In Good Taste\" logo in concert with its product promotion efforts. The department is working with large retailers in identifying and marketing Georgia grown and processed items. \n \nFUEL AND MEASURES \n \nThe Fuel and Measures Division \n \nis responsible for regulating the \n \naccuracy of all commercial weighing \n \nand measuring devices, and the \n \nquality of petroleum products. The \n \ndivision has upgraded the six trucks \n \nused in inspecting and testing heavy \n \nweigh scales to comply with the latest \n \nrevised federal Department of \n \nCommerce standards for large weigh \n \nscale testing. \n \nThe division's \n \npetroleum fuel and antifreeze \n \ninspection and testing outfits now \n \ninspect nearly 7,100 service stations and test approximately 15,500 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples annually. \nSTRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL The Structural Pest Control \nProgram regulates firms, certified operators and employees involved in supplying household pest control services for controlling ants, roaches and other insects, along with wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi. Program staff also conduct inspections of dwellings and products treated for these pests. These inspections verify that the dwellings and products have been properly treated for the pest(s) in question. \nANIMAL PROTECTION The department enforces the \nAnimal Protection Act which requires pet industry operators (i.e. pet \n \ndealerslbrokers, breeders, animal shelters, kennel operators, etc.) to satisfy a variety of standards before being issued an operating license. The Act's purposes are to prevent unhealthy pets from being sold to the public, and to protect animals from abuse or neglect while they are awaiting sale. Inspectors also enforce federal laws regarding the use of controlled drugs for euthanasia at animal shelters, and monitor federal certificates of veterinary inspection and rabies inoculation records. The 10 inspectors assigned to this licensing and enforcement program inspect over 2,000 establishments and respond to nearly 300 complaints annually. \n \nPesticide Treatment Inspections FY94-FY98 \n

Assistance activities include, but are not limited to, Personnel Administration, Building Codes, Public Works, Governmental OrganizationlManagement Practices and Regional Development Centers (RDCs). \nThe department provides training to local governments in a variety of administrative areas such as payroll, budget and accounting, and procurement. The department conducts code enforcement training for local government inspectors in implementing the statewide unifonn construction and building codes. Additionally, training is provided to local governments that request assistance in installing a user fee system for local public works. The department also develops sample policy and procedure manuals for local law enforcement and other governmental organizations and contracts with RDCs to provide technical assistance to local governments. Finally, the department provides training and technical assistance to local governments in the area of housing and community and economic development, as well as technical assistance to small businesses in need of fmancial assistance. \nCOMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ASSISTANCE/ SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING \nThe department has primary responsibility for implementing the Planning Act of 1989 (Growth Strategies). In this regard, the department develops and administers appropriate standards and procedures for local comprehensive planning; reviews plans submitted by local governments; certifies local governments as qualified participants in the planning process; and assists the Governor and his Development Council in preparing a comprehensive statewide plan. In addition, the department fulfills its statutory obligation to the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act by reviewing the waste reduction strategies adopted by regionaVlocal government coalitions. \nINFORMATION The department has primary responsibility to serve as a \nclearinghouse for infonnation and initial point of contact within state government for infonnation, data, resources and assistance regarding activity related to local \n \ngovernments. Staff time and efforts are devoted to ongoing development and enhancement to the Georgia database and network. The database contains: 10 years of local finance data, population, economic and other demographic data, census data, historical data, and state agency data. Additionally, the database is incorporated into the states' Geographic Infonnation System (GIS) planning efforts. Based on infonnation collected from various sources, the department prepares numerous surveys, reports, documents, publications and studies. \nPARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ADMINISTRATION OF GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS \nThe department administers the state and federal funds entrusted to the state for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grants and Revolving Loan Funds in the 35 Appalachian Regional Commission counties. The department also functions as a manager and contract monitor for passthrough grants. Such grants/contracts administered by DCA include state contracts for Regional Planning and Development, Local Assistance Grants, Local Development Fund, Regional Economic .and Business Assistance Grants and Local Government Efficiency Grants. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority \nmakes low cost loans available to local governments for water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste facilities and coordinates the remediation and removal of state owned underground storage tanks. \nThe Georgia Housing Finance Authority assists low and moderate income Georgians in obtaining affordable housing. \nThe State Housing Trust Fund is the mechanism for channeling state funds to support project initiatives in Homeless Assistance programs, Low-Income Rental Housing programs, and Special Need Housing programs. \nThe Georgia Music Hall of Fame Authority has responsibility to operate, maintain and promote a facility housing the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. \nThe Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Authority has responsibility to construct, operate, maintain and promote a facility to house the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. \nThe State Commission on National \u0026 Community Service has responsibility for developing and implementing community service programs in Georgia. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 12, 36, 48 and 50 of the Official Code of \nGeorgia Annotated. \n \n107 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS \nStrategies and Services \n \nSince its creation, the Department of Community Affairs' mISSIon has been to improve the quality of life of all Georgians through local planning and community development programs, by building local leadership capabilities, and by maintaining a positive relationship with the multitude of local governments in Georgia. Since the merger with the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority (GHFA), the department's mission has been expanded to include increasing the availability of affordable housing. \nThe department also serves as the Governor's representative to local communities and local government associations in matters dealing with local and regional community development issues. Community development and technical assistance are provided to local governments primarily through the divisions of Business. and Financial Assistance, Planning and Environmental Management, External Affairs, Housing and Finance, and Rental Assistance. \nREGIONAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT \nIn recent years, the Department of Community Affairs has focused attention on the many community problems that transcend city and county boundaries. The department has addressed these issues by providing fmancial and technical assistance to Georgia's communities. In the area of fmancial assistance, the targeted regional assistance grant program was created in F.Y. 1998 for multi-county or regional projects. In F.Y. 1999, six projects involving 18 counties received $1.731 million in funding from this program through the Department of Community Affairs and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority. \nIn an effort to strengthen the state's support for community and economic development, the department partnered with the \n \nDepartment of Industry, Trade and Tourism (ITT) in F.Y. 1999 to provide more technical assistance and state resources for regional and rural development. Regional development teams consisting of 2 DCA positions in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta were implemented to assist communities in identifying state resources, to facilitate regional or multi-governmental projects, and to provide technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. A Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region advises each regional team. \nDrawing from discussions among the Regional Advisory Councils and information gathered by the regional development teams, the Governor is recommending the implementation of a Downtown Redevelopment Fund in F.Y. 2000. This fund would assist non-entitlement cities whose downtown commercial areas have a significant number of commercial structures over 50 years old and a high percentage of empty storefronts or documentation of an immediate threat to the downtown's commercial viability. This fund will be fmanced by expanding the use of $2,000,000 in funds originally appropriated for the Export Loan Guarantee Fund in GHFA to include downtown redevelopment. The Governor's recommendation will allow the use of the $2,000,000 for both loan funds. \nThe department also assists Georgia's smaller cities through the Better Hometown Program. The Better Hometown Program is a public-private partnership between DCA, the Georgia Power Company, The University System of Georgia, and the Georgia Municipal Association that assists in the revitalization efforts of cities with populations between 1,000 and 5,000. Better Hometown status is awarded through a competitive process to communities that demonstrate a commitment to revitalizing their \n \ndowntown areas. The Governor is recommending an additional $70,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget for the department to expand contracts for technical assistance to Better Hometown communities. \nFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The department provides \neconomic development and community investment assistance to local governments through administration of a number of grant programs. The federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) supports several programs that assist Georgia's communities. \nThe CDBG Employment Incentive Program (EIP) funds projects that result in new or retained jobs for low and moderate income persons. Also through the EIP, Georgia communities have established Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) programs. RLFs provide loans to local start-up and expansion businesses which provide a variety of services to help local communities improve their quality of life and that provide important employment opportunities, particularly for low and moderate income people. \nRegular competitive grants, the majority of CDBG projects, fund public facility projects that primarily benefit low and moderate income persons. These projects can include the extension of water lines, installment of sewer, construction of curbs and gutters, and other public infrastructure improvements. CDBG has also funded housing rehabilitation projects and the construction of community facilities such as health centers and senior centers. \nThe state funded Regional Economic Business Assistance Grant (REBA) Program provides flexible and timely fmancial assistance to economic development projects that create or retain jobs. The department grants awards for direct economic development assistance based on 8 criteria: jobs created (or retained); \n \n108 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services \n \ntotal private capital investment; economic impact on the state, regional and community tax base; degree of local commitment; consistency with local and regional development goals and objectives; project impact; reasonableness of cost estimates; and assessment of criticality of state assistance to the retention and recruitment of companies. \nThe department seeks the advice of other state agencies such as the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism before making the fmal assessment of projects eligible for REBA grant funds. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor has recommended $4,963,750 for REBA. \nHOUSING ASSISTANCE The Housing and Finance \nDivision of the Department of Community Affairs administers programs aimed at increasing the number of first time homeowners in Georgia. The state and federally funded HOME programs offer qualified first time homebuyers low interest loans and down payment assistance. \nIn addition, this program offers multifamily housing assistance to encourage developers to increase the number of low-income residential rental developments they build or \n \nrehabilitate. Developers can obtain public and private fmancing from a number of sources including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and Georgia Housing Trust Fund monies. \nThe department also administers the federally funded Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act programs and the state funded Georgia Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless programs. These state and federal programs aid homeless shelters and agencies with assisting the state's homeless with adequate housing. \nRENTAL ASSISTANCE Another housing assistance area \nis the Housing and Urban Development, Section 8 program. The department administers this program in 149 of 159 counties, providing low income families with quality affordable rental housing. \nThe program is administered through regional offices in Albany, Athens, Carrollton, Eastman, and Waycross. Rent subsidies are provided to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families. \nThe Family Self-Sufficiency \n \nprogram is an effort to reduce participant dependency on Section 8 and other public support. Public and private sector resources provide education, counseling, job placement assistance, job training and other supportive services to help participants become self sufficient. \nGEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY \nThe Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. The Governor is recommending $20 million in general obligation bonds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to continue state support for the loan program. This installment of $20 million will create a revolving loan fund for the Authority with a guaranteed repayment stream of $20 million. This repayment stream will insure that Georgia communities will always have funds available to address necessary water and sewer infrastructure needs. In addition to state funds, the Authority administers the disbursement of federal energy program funds and federal drinking water funds to assist Georgia communities. \nThe F.Y. 2000 recommendation includes $3 million in G.O. bonds for \n \nGeorgia Environmental Facilities Authority Ten-Year Water and Sewer Loan Activity (1990-1999) \n \nF.Y. \n \nEmergency Loans \n \nState Bonds** Program Repayments \n \nTOTAL \n \n1990 \n \n$0 \n \n$13,500,000 \n \n$1,618,828 \n \n$15,118,828 \n \n1991 \n \n$0 \n \n$48,645,157 \n \n$5,254,500 \n \n$53,899,657 \n \n1992 \n \n$811,068 \n \n$45,391,726 \n \n$3,918,604 \n \n$50,121,398 \n \n1993 \n \n$220,000 \n \n$19,404,339 \n \n$2,098,000 \n \n$21,722,339 \n \n1994 \n \n$780,259 \n \n$19,878,660 \n \n$22,483,975 \n \n$43,142,894 \n \n1995 \n \n$689,000 \n \n$18,987,925 \n \n$14,639,036 \n \n$34,315,961 \n \n1996 \n \n$744,946 \n \n$19,176,100 \n \n$28,318,373 \n \n$48,239,419 \n \n1997 \n \n$667,500 \n \n$19,962,629 \n \n$13,350,637 \n \n$33,980,766 \n \n1998 \n \n$573,607 \n \n$20,000,000 \n \n$24,297,700 \n \n$44,871,307 \n \n~ \n \n$643,031 \n \n$20,000,000 \n \n$36.420,888 \n \n$57,063,919 \n \nTOTAL \n \n$5,129,411 \n \n$244,946,536 \n \n$152,400,541 \n \n$402,476,488 \n \n* Projections based on commitments to date \n \n** 1991 and 1992 State Bonds are Guaranteed Revenue Debt issued by the Authority, all other \n \nState Bonds are General Obligation Bonds issued by the State. \n \n109 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services \n \nthe remediation and removal of stateowned fuel storage tanks. This is the initial installment in a projected $25 million program necessary to prevent long term pollution problems and meet federal requirements. The state has already met federal requirements for the replacement and upgrade or closure of storage tanks by December 1998. Georgia must now comply with current law that states closed tanks must be removed and sites remediated within 12 months of closing. Due to the abundance of tanks the state closed, the Environmental Protection Division is allowing flexibility on the deadline as long as a viable program is in place to address the issue. At issue are 1,408 tanks that require .removal and remediation. At least 121 of these sites have documented contamination. \nGEORGIA MUSIC AND SPORTS HALLS OF FAME \nBoth the Music and Sports Halls of Fame in Macon aim to preserve Georgia's contributions to music and sports history, respectively, by \n \nmaintaining and operating official state museums. The music museum opened in October 1996 and provides quality exhibits and educational programs for children and adults. Operations for the Music Hall of Fame were merged with the Department of Community Affairs in F.Y. 1999, allowing for increased efficiencies in management. \nMuseum educational programs enhance the quality of primary and secondary education through planned school tours, after-school activities, and Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) distance learning programs to schools. The museum library provides scholars, music aficionados and others a history of music via collections, interviews, and photography. The Governor is recommending $873,008 to support the operations of the Music Hall of Fame in F.Y. 2000. \nThe grand opening for the Sports Hall of Fame Museum is tentatively scheduled for April 1999. The 43,000 square foot museum is on a site adjacent to the Georgia Music Hall of \n \nFame and the Douglas Theater. A total of $8.4 million was previously authorized by the legislature to plan, design, and construct the museum. The museum's exhibit theme will capture a good balance between interactive and static displays that foster a higher level of learning and entertainment. \nWithin each of these areas, display themes take and capture a variety of perspectives at different levels of sports - grade and middle school sports, high school, amateur, college and professional. In addition to exhibit areas, the museum includes instructional facilities, an auditorium, a gift shop, food service areas, exhibit support space, library and archives area, and administrative offices. \nThe Governor is recommending $83,150 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to upgrade archival equipment and storage preservation facilities in anticipation of the April 1999 opening. The Governor is also recommending $832,984 in F.Y. 2000 for state operating support for the Sports Hall of Fame \n \n110 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS \nResults-Based Budgeting Program

More than 41,000 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 138,000 offenders are on probation, 4,400 whom are in residential programs. \nThe mission of the DOC is to protect the public and staff by managing offenders either in a safe and secure environment or through effective community supervision according to their needs and risks. In collaboration with the community and other agencies, DOC provides programs that offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law-abiding citizens. \nDOC has adopted 6 management directions to guide operations: \n Increase efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability.  Ensure that prison is an undesirable experience.  Have well-run, secure facilities.  Supervise and monitor compliance with probation \nconditions. \n Offenders will work.  Have effective programs and training. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured, secure \nenvironment 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. \nDOC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms; in food preparation, laundry, and construction; in facility and landscape maintenance; and doing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. \nThe types of DOC institutions include:  State Prisons (41). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than I year of incarceration to serve. \n 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. \n Inmate Boot Camps, Probation Boot Camps, Probation Detention Centers (15). These 3 programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol. \n Transitional Centers (5). These community-based centers are designed to allow offenders \n \nnearing 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. \n Probation Diversion Centers (16). Judges may sentence offenders to diversion centers as an alternative to prison. Like transitional center residents, offenders in the diversion centers work and pay room and board, restitution, fines, and family support. \nProbation 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. \nThe mission of the Probation Division is to serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. \nProbationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fmes, and court costs. Many probationers are also required to perform community service, unpaid labor for the local community. Probationers are supervised with increasing levels of intensity in accordance with the risk they pose to the community. Requirements at these varied supervision levels may include adherence to a curfew, wearing an electronic device to monitor movements, drug testing, and home and job visits by the probation officer. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is composed of \n5 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. \nThe Georgia Correctional Industries Administration is a public corporation, wholly owned by the state. GCIA utilizes inmate labor to manufacture products and provide services to government agencies. This work also allows the inmates to receive training in these areas. \nAUTHORITY Titles 9, 42 and 77 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n130 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nStrategies and Services \n \nAdults committed to the \n \nDepartment of Corrections (DOC) \n \nhave more than doubled over the past \n \n10 years. \n \nGeorgia's prison \n \ncommitments for F.Y. 1998 to F.Y. \n \n2002 are projected to grow at an \n \naverage rate of 6% annually. \n \nGeorgia's prison population at the end \n \nof Fiscal Year 2000 is projected to \n \ntotal 46,006 inmates. \n \nBED-SPACE MANAGEMENT The Department of Corrections \ncontinues efforts to steward its bedspace and funding resources. Initiatives include: \n Maintaining the occupancy rate of 99% in state prisons. \n Continuing to double-bunk offenders where facilities and staffmg allow. \n Reviewing, and identifying areas to establish additional bed-space with no need for additional staff at selected institutions. The Governor authorized DOC in F.Y. 1999 to redirect funds within the department to open 750 additional beds throughout the prison system. \n By the end of F.Y. 2000 opening a total of 6,104 prison, transitional, detention and work camp beds authorized by the Governor to meet the growing commitments to the correctional system. Bed expansions at state prisons to be opened in F.Y. 1999 and 2000 are Smith (192-beds), Washington (192-beds), Augusta Medical (384-beds), Macon (384beds), Coastal (384-beds), and Walker (192-beds). Contract prison beds to open are Charlton (1,000beds), Coffee (1,000 beds) and Wheeler (1,000 beds). A transitional center (200-beds) is recommended by the Governor to open in Savannah. Also during F.Y. 2000, a total of 576 detention beds will open in Houston, Paulding and Terrell counties. \nThe Governor in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget recommended $66,808,625 state funds and $8,353,100 matching federal funds to construct 2,000 inmate beds to be operated by the Department. These \n \nbeds would be available in F.Y. 2002 to address the growing prison population. The Governor is also recommending opening 600 transitional center or work camp beds in F.Y. 2000. Both of the Governor's proposals include the option to alter the proposed bed plans to provide a mix of bed space based on an evaluation of the projected profile of the prison population. This option would result in an increase in diversity and number of beds added after consideration of proposals to expand county correctional facility space and other alternative or transitional bed space proposals. \nThe Governor in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget has authorized the Department to use $1,094,000 in existing bonds and $9,846,900 in matching federal funds to construct a \n \n192-bed death row addition at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison. The death row addition would be available in F.Y. 2002. The Department of Corrections will have available 44,218 inmate beds by the end ofF.Y. 2000 to serve the growing inmate population. \nJAIL BACKLOG County jails are operated by local \nauthorities and are used for pre-trial detention and post conviction confinement pending pick-up by DOC. The Department pays a jail subsidy rate of $20 per day for inmates that have been sentenced to a state prison and are awaiting pickup in excess of 15 days after the department has received a sentencing package. \nAt the beginning of F.Y. 1998, \n \nAn Increasing Adult Inmate Population Leads to More Beds \n \n48,000 \n \n46,000 \n \n44,000 \n \n42,000 \n \n40,000 \n \n38,000 \n \n36,000 \n \n34,000 \n \n32,000 \n \n30,000 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n1999 \n \n2000 \n \n~Actual/Planned Beds \n \n-Population \n \n131 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia's jail backlog for individuals sentenced to state prison stood at 1,855. By the end of F.Y. 1998, it had risen to 3,309 and by October 1998, the jail backlog was at 3,014. \nThe Board of Pardons and Paroles uses county jails to house parolees who have violated parole. County jails are also used to house probationers who have violated probation. Probationers, unless revoked to the Department of Corrections, are under the jurisdiction of the local judiciary and not the department. The judge decides whether the probationer is jailed or not. Code Section 17-10-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated designates the local county jail as one of the options the judge can use to \n \nincarcerate a probation violator. The county is not paid a subsidy for a probation violator. \nAt the beginning of F.Y. 1998, the backlog for parole and probation violators stood at 1,565. By the end of F.Y. 1998, it had dropped to 712 and by October 1998, the number of parolees and probationers held in county jails was 597. \nDuring October 1998 the Department of Community Affairs reported the number of individuals in county jails at 28,831. The number consisted of 17,874 awaiting trial, 7,346 county/other, 597 probation and parole issues, and 3,014 sentenced to state prisons. \nDuring F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000 the department will be opening the \n \nauthorized bed expansions, which should reduce the number of inmates in county jails sentenced to DOC. \nPROBATION SUPERVISION To effectively meet the \ndepartment's mission of public safety, the probation division uses a RiskBased Supervision Model to supervise probationers. Using an offender classification system and this supervision model helps insure that those offenders presenting the greatest risk to Georgia's citizens will receive the greatest share of the supervision resources. \nThe implementation of the RiskBased Supervision Model came in response to a changing probation population. In 1985 the make-up of \n \nCounty Inmate Jail Population \nOctober 1997 \nNumber ofInmates in County Jails - 26,480 Local Jail Capacity - 24,572 \nComty/Other Sentences 7,136 \n \nProbation/Parole Issues 1,078 \nCorrections/Jail Backlog 1,790 \nOctober 1998 \nNumber ofInmates in County Jails - 28,831 Local Jail Capacity - 27,690 \nCounty/Other Sentences 7,346 \n \nAwaiting Trial 16,476 \n \nProbation/Parole Issues 597 \n \nCorrections/Jail Backlog 3,014 \n132 \n \nAwaiting Trial 17,874 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services \n \nthe population was 47% felons and 53% misdemeanants, by 1990 felons made up 63% of the population with the remaining 37% misdemeanants. The June 1998 probation population consisted of 78% felons and 22% misdemeanants. \nThe change in the probation population has required the Probation Division to prioritize the allocation of its field resources. The model sets caseload capacity limits for maximum and high levels of supervision. Restricted caseload size will allow officers to spend more time in the field, making unscheduled visits to offenders' homes and places of business, enforcing strict probation conditions, and holding offenders accountable for their actions. Frequency of probation officer contact with the probationer is emphasized. Minimum contact requirements have been set for each classification level. \nThe model also establishes a Specialized Caseload category composed of offenders who have committed sexual crimes against children or crimes of family violence. The supervision for these offenders includes home searches for illicit sexual materials, registration with local law enforcement, and monitored treatment attendance. Specially trained officers supervise these caseloads. The goal is to protect victims and to help prevent any additional crimes against new victims. \nEDUCATION The Department of Corrections \ncurrently has 17 Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing 12,196 hours of instruction to inmates. During F.Y. 1999 the department will bring on line 4 additional sites, which are currently running at different levels of utilization. With the 4 sites up and running the department is projected to have over 15,000 hours available for the inmate population at 21 sites and are projecting enrollment of7,583 inmates during F.Y. 1999. \n \nThe Department of Corrections, by changing over to part-time teachers, conducting class at night and using the GSAMS and Video Tape Educational Programming has increased enrollment by 60 percent over the F.Y. 1997 enrollment level. \nThe Department of Corrections, utilizing the GSAMS, has contracted with Thomas Technical Institute to provide GED classes at all sites, introduce computer literacy to the inmates, to conduct vocational programs for the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program and On the Job Training for work detail supervisors. \nELECTRONIC MONITORING The Board of Pardons and \nParoles has operated an electronic monitoring program since November 1991. Electronic monitoring (EM) is an enhancement to supervision that has been recognized as a tool to provide additional surveillance and control for a selected parolee population. \n \nElectronic monitoring does not \n \nprovide continuous knowledge of the \n \noffender's whereabouts, but rather it \n \nis a means of knowing when an \n \noffender is not at a prescribed \n \nlocation. The purpose of electronic \n \nmonitoring is to place a parolee \n \nwithin a structured and controlled \n \nenvironment. Electronic monitoring \n \nis most effectively used in \n \nconjunction with other supervision \n \nand rehabilitative strategies, not \n \nalone. Studies have shown that, \n \ncombined with appropriate case \n \nsupervision, electronic monitoring \n \ncan increase the likelihood of parole \n \nsuccess. \n \nDuring F.Y. 2000, the number of \n \nelectronic monitoring units is \n \nprojected at 980 units, with an \n \naverage cost of $3.10 per offender per \n \nday. These units will continue to be \n \nutilized to expand the types of \n \nparolees placed under electronic \n \nmonitoring. \n \nThe electronic \n \nmonitoring program will be used in \n \nconjunction with the Specialized \n \nProbation Caseloads \n \nMisdemeanors 44,709 \n \nJune 1990 - Cases 110,835 \n \nMisdemeanors 30,449 \n \nJune 1998 - Cases 138,404 \n \nFelonies 76,126 \nFelonies 107,955 \n \n133 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - Strategies and Services \n \nParole Supervision program (SPS) to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risklhigh need parolees. \nAUTOMATION OFFENDER RECORDS \nMANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- The Parole Board will have migrated from paper documents to electronically stored documents (or images) for all new cases entering the Department of Corrections by the end of F.Y. 1999. One of the challenges in F.Y. 2000 is to expand this document management system so that the existing inmate files are converted to electronic form. \nOnce current cases are converted to the document management system, the field staff will add information to an electronic file at the time investigations are being completed. The case material will be built from its earliest stages in this new format soon after a convicted person is incarcerated into the Department of Corrections' system. The data that originates at the parole sites will be available for the first time. It will be fully integrated into one system from which many people can draw data for analysis. \nThe Offender Records Management System and the Case Management will allow the board to be more flexible in changing its focus as needs change. It is this flow of data that will better equip managers at all levels to supervise the ever increasing population of parolees. The board will also be able to report to other entities of the state, such as Office of Planning and Budget and others, with much more analytical information. \nCASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- For too long, the Parole Board has had to rely on data gleaned from reports that have been produced manually and then tallied by hand. \n \nThis has resulted in insufficient reporting of caseload management processes, as well as those newer board initiatives such as electronic monitoring, drug testing, counselor referrals and cognitive restructuring. The agency has fully implemented the new case management system. Now each parole officer has a laptop computer that is connected to the document management system. \nThe case management system allows the board to quickly evolve from a document/text driven system to a data/information driven environment which connects directly, the field personnel with the central office's clemency process. \n \nSPECIALIZATION \n \nCLASSIFICAnON/CASE \n \nMANAGEMENT -- The Board of \n \nPardons and Paroles uses the results \n \ndriven supervision model for parolee \n \nsupervision and case management. In \n \nthis model, officer interaction is \n \ndesigned to focus on the outcome of \n \nsupervision, producing a compliant, \n \nlaw-abiding parolee. \n \nParolees \n \ncontinue to be classified into 1 of 3 \n \nlevels of supervision based on a \n \nformal, instrument-based assessment \n \nof the risk they present in the \n \ncommunity. The higher their risk, the \n \nhigher the level of supervision. \n \nSupervision activities are a \n \ncombination of surveillance, \n \nmonitoring and intervention activities \n \ncustomized to each parolee to ensure \n \ntheir compliance with the conditions \n \nof parole and the safety of the \n \ncommunity. \n \nCertain groupings of parolees \n \nrequire more intensive supervision \n \ndue to the heightened risk they \n \npresent or to the special needs or \n \nproblems they exhibit. Continuing \n \nexpansion of the board's Specialized \n \nParole Supervision program (SPS) is \n \nunderway. By integrating the SPS program with the board's very successful electronic monitoring program (EM) these offenders can be successfully managed on parole supervision. Parolee groupings targeted for the SPSIEM program include boot camp parolees, sex offenders, violent offenders and parolees with drug and alcohol problems. These high risklhigh need parolees will be supervised on reduced caseloads and generally be placed on electronic monitoring to ensure that they receive intensive services to remain safely in the community. \nSUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING PROGRAM - A core component of results-driven supervision is substance abuse treatment for parolees whose past or current alcohol or other drug use makes them high risk for relapse into criminal behavior and drug use. The goal of parolee substance abuse treatment is to increase community safety by promoting the productive, law-abiding, and drug free lifestyles of offenders. \nThe Board of Pardons and Paroles contracts through the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse and the Regional Boards to provide access to local assessment and treatment services where available. In area where services are limited the Board of Pardons and Paroles has begun contracting on a part-time basis, to provide services within the parole offices. The agency also monitors contracted residential substance abuse programs at Homerville State Prison and Whitworth Detention Center. \n \n134 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nPROBATION \nPURPOSE: To serve the courts, manage probationers' risk to the public, and ensure probationers' accountability to the community and victims. \n \nGOAL 1: Protect the public by insuring appropriate levels of supervision based on offender risk. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: The percentage of probationers \n \nrevoked for a subsequent felony conviction in F.Y. 2000 will not increase beyond the 3% F.Y. 1999 figure. \n \n3% \n \n3% \n \n3% \n \n2,3680f68,169 \n \nFACILITY MANAGEMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Ensure the safety (well-being) of the public, staff, and offenders by providing well-managed facilities. \n \nGOAL 1: Operate safe and secure facilities for housing offenders at the lowest possible costs. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Decrease by 5% the rate of inmate initiated assaults from 0.094 per inmate in F.Y. 1999 to 0.089 per inmate in F.Y. 2000. \n \n0.098 \n \n0.094 \n \n0.089 \n \nliijij~lRn~I'f;;;';;=====+\"'=====-t \n \n110 \n \n104 \n \n99 \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: Reduce the rate of prison related deaths per 100,000 inmates by 5% from 104 in F.Y. 1999 to 99 in F.Y. 2000. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ie: Provide a constitutionally required level of health care for inmates by ensuring that the percentage of medical contracts complying with Medicaid standards increase from 70% in F.Y. 1999 to 80% in F.Y. 2000. \n \n.i.A~#i.Umijlt \n \nN/AI \n \n70% \n \nIF.Y. 1998 Data is unavailable. \n \nF~ijij~;li... \n80% \n \nIF.Y. 1998 data is unavailable; desired results projections can not be made at this time. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Id: Ensure that the cost of care does not exceed the national average for comparable services (F.Y. 2000 annual cost per inmate compared to the national average). \n \n135 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \n$45.94 \n \n$44.94 \n \n$44.44 \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ie: Annual costs per inmate for all correctional facilities will decrease by 1% from $44.94 in F.Y. 1999 to $44.44 in F.Y. 2000. \n \nATTACHED AGENCY \n \nSTATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES \nPAROLE SELECTION AND SUPERVISION \nPURPOSE: Contribute positively to public safety in Georgia by thoroughly investigating offenders' criminal histories in order to determine those inmates who will be paroled and those who will not, and to provide supervision in the community that ensures compliance with release conditions and a successful transition by parolees back into the comnlUnity as law-abiding citizens. \n \nDesired Result la: Parole Supervision - Cost Per Day \n \nGOAL 1: Provide a safe, low-cost, highly effective, communitybased alternative to prison. \nDESIRED RESULT la: Maintain the daily cost of regular parole supervision at or below $2.65 per parolee. \n \n$2.70 $2.65 $2.60 \n \n$2.55 \n10 mos estimate \n \n$2.55 \n \n$2.50 \n \n$2.45 \n \n$2.65 \n \nDesired Result 2a: Percent of Parolees Revoked for \nCompliance Issues \n \n15% 14% \n \n14% \n \n14% \n \n13% \n \n12% \n \n11% \n \n10%,J.....--JI!blIllFY98 FY99 FYOO Actual Desired Desired \n \nDesired \nGOAL 2: Provide safe and effective community service of inmates the Board has released to keep prison population in-line with available capacity and that the board has evaluated and found to present the lowest risk to public safety. \nDESIRED RESULT 2a: Out of all the offenders on parole during the year, no more than 14% will be revoked for failing to comply with the conditions of parole. \n \n136 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nDesired Result 3a: Parolee - Rate of Employment1 \n88% \n88% \n86% 87% 6 mos. \n \n85% FY98 Actual \n \nFY99 FYOO Desired Desired \n \nIThe F.Y. 1998 actual result is for a 6-month period.

The department achieves these objectives through its 4 components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, the Army National Guard and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide. \nGEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to \nprovide fully equipped, fully trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation/deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping and housing of its units as well as the evaluation of its wartime capability are mandated responsibilities. \n \nGEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for \nmaintaining a level of operational readiness, which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters. \nOFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to \nprovide command and control of the entire organization as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System. \nSTATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the State Defense Force is to serve as a \ncaretaker administration in the event of a full mobilization. \nAUTHORITY Title 38, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n146 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nStrategies and Services \n \nFACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE \nThe Facilities Operations and Maintenance program is the largest program within the agency. This program provides the foundation, which supports the infrastructure of the Georgia National Guard. The Georgia Department of Defense currently manages approximately 1,200 buildings and facilities throughout the state, the majority of which are licensed for use by the state. Most of these facilities are 100% federally funded for operations and maintenance, and a significant number require 25% matching state funds. The industrial type facilities and the heavy equipment repair shops fall into this category. The balance of the facilities comprises of 69 National Guard armories and a number of office buildings at headquarters. These facilities are 100% state supported as required by law. The Governor has recommended $300,000 in F.Y. 2000 for roof replacements for armories and other repair work that will be eligible for federal matching funds. \nIn addition to the portion of the program that receives federal and state appropriations, the armories are rented as community centers, used for meetings and conferences, voting precincts, and a host of other activities. These funds historically have been reinvested into the facilities, which have generated the revenues. \nTo maximize the use of state funding, some accomplishments have been made. The department has reduced facility-operating costs through consolidation at the Army National Guard Headquarters, closed 10 armories, and renegotiated utility rates. \nMILITARY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS \nThe Military Relations program provides assistance to approximately 13,000 Georgia National Guardsmen, active and retired, as well as their \n \nfamilies, \n \nduring \n \nmilitary \n \nmobilizations. The program also \n \nprovides information and assistance \n \nto retirees in order to secure for them \n \nall of the benefits and entitlements for \n \nwhich they legally qualify. Casualty \n \nassistance is also provided to the \n \nfamilies of deceased guard members. \n \nYOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM \nThe Youth Challenge Program, which is operated by the Georgia National Guard, a division of the Georgia Department of Defense, provides at-risk youth between 16 to 19 years of age the opportunity to earn a High School Graduation Equivalency Degree and acquire valuable life skills. \nThe program is based at the National Guard Training Center at Fort Stewart. Military personnel, functioning as platoon leaders and mentors, teach and train the students during the 22-week residential program that is conducted twice a year. As a complement to the \n \nmilitary setting, students live in military type dormitories, eat in a military dining facility and participate in vigorous physical activities. \nDuring the course of the residential program, students are immersed in a military environment that stresses academic achievement, and the attainment of competency in basic life skills such as: establishing and maintaining financial credit, balancing a check book, and social interaction through community service. These necessary skills prepare the youth to lead productive lives and avoid destructive behaviors. Since the program's inception in August 1993, students have performed a cumulative 34,624 hours of community service and as the graph depicts over 93% of the students have graduated with a graduation equivalency degree. \nUpon graduation, the residential phase is completed and the students move into a post-residential phase, which will continue to assist the students in identifying and \n \n200 \n \n180 \n \n160 \n \n140 \n \n.=C'.\"\u003e. ~ .=.. \n \n120 100 \n \nV1 80 \n \n60 \n \n40 \n \n20 \n \n0 \n \nYouth Challenge Program Graduates \n \n2 \n \n3 \n \n4 \n \n5 \n \n6 \n \n7 \n \n8 \n \n9 \n \n10 \n \nClass \n \nII Graduates \n \n147 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - Strategies And Services \n \nexploring opportunities. \n \nWith \n \ncontinued guidance and support from \n \nmentors, student's progress is \n \nmonitored for at least six months after \n \ngraduation. \n \nThis relationship \n \nprovides the students with support \n \nwhile they are transitioning from the \n \nprogram to another productive phase \n \nin life. \n \nThe average cost per student \n \nenrolled in the Youth Challenge \n \nProgram is approximately $9,600. \n \nGovernor Barnes has recommended \n \n$916,000 in state funds in F.Y. 2000 \n \nto provide for operating expenses in \n \nsupport of this important program. \n \nThese recommended state funds will \n \nbe matched with .federal matching \n \nfunds of $2.1 million. \n \nSTATE DEFENSE FORCE The Georgia State Defense Force \nprovides for an organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response volunteer force and civilian relief organization in impending or actual emergencies to assure the welfare and safety of the citizens. \n \nThis program provides welltrained and equipped volunteer individuals and leaders to perform duties as they may be called upon. These activities include search and rescues, which augment the ability of other agencies to perform their missions. State funds provide for minimal support. \nCOUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS The Georgia National Guard \nprovides ground reconnaissance and observation support to requesting drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) by providing personnel and equipment necessary to perform operations for the purpose of drug interdiction and eradication. Upon request by state agencies, the guard also provides personnel to research and document information necessary to establish probable cause. Georgia National Guard personnel are also assigned to perform tasks which include but are not limited to operational planning, transportation for elements of DLEAs, assisting in \n \ninformation gathering, provide security and crowd control, marking and cataloging evidence found at the scene, and assisting in the dismantling of crime scenes. \nHEADQUARTERS 21 The Headquarters 2 I Project \nanalyzed the department's business processes and realigned resources to optimize effectiveness and increase efficiency. The project identified and recommended that the Directorate of Organization and Workforce Development be established to service and manage the department's resources. Examples include: the sound framework that has been erected to manage all human resource issues, both federal and state, and the consolidation of support services that have historically been fragmented due to the service being delineated along federal, state or military lines. \n \n148 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nNATIONAL GUARD MILITARY READINESS PROGRAM \n \nPURPOSE: Provide a trained military organization to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of Georgia and the nation when called upon by the Governor or the President. \n \nGOAL 1: Provide the state and nation with trained military personnel in adequate numbers and in a timely manner to respond when called upon by the Governor or President. \n \nPercent Positions Filled \n \n81% \n \n95% \n \n95% \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Achieve and maintain 95% of \n \nmilitary positions filled with 80% trained in their Military \n \nPercent Trained in \n \n75% \n \n80\"10 \n \n80\"10 \n \nOccupational Specialty Qualifications/Armed Forces \n \nMOSQ/AFSC \n \nService Course (MOSQ/AFSC). \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: Upon \"Alert Notice\" by Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Army National Guard!Air National Guard national command post archive 100% response within 24 hours of notice to unit. \n \nCOMMUNITY SERVICE AND SUPPORT \nPURPOSE: Through the use of Georgia Department of Defense resources, provide services and support to improve the quality of life in Georgia communities. \nGOAL 1: Provide non-emergency assistance to communities, consistent with mission and resources, that will improve the quality of life in Georgia's communities. \nDESIRED RESULT la: Provide one civic action project using National Guard soldiers in conjunction with unit training in F.Y. 2000. \n \n1':I1IIII:,II.:IIII.i.'..I:II'IIII,:II.Ij \n \n::::::;;:111:...1::::[:1: ::::::1::1_::11:1::'[1:11: 1::: \n \n16,998 \n \n17,000 \n \n17,000 \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: Provide 17,000 hours of community support work activities in F.Y. 2000 using Youth Challenge Academy students. \n \n149 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ie: Increase State Defense Force voluntary man-days from 1000 in F.Y. 1999 to 1250 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n917 \n \n1,000 \n \n1,250 \n \n349 \n \n360 \n \n360 \n \nGOAL 2: Intervene with at-risk youth who are high school dropouts to produce employable, self-sufficient and productive citizens. \nDESIRED RESULT 2a: Graduate 360 at-risk youth annually from the Youth Challenge Academy. \n \nGOAL 3: Reduce the flow of illegal drugs into, through, and manufactured in Georgia. \nDESIRED RESULT 3a: Provide assistance to law enforcement agencies for all requests received. \n \nDesired Result la: \n \nAssistance Requests Fulfilled \n \n375 \n \n400 \n \n400 324 \n \n300 \n \n200 \n \n100 \n \n0 FY98 \nActual \n \nFY99 FYOO Desired Desired \n \nFACILITIES SUPPORT TO THE GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD \n \nPURPOSE: Provide and maintain modem, community-based facilities that support and enhance the training and readiness of the Department of Defense to perform its state and federal mission. \n \nGOAL 1: Every facility will be equipped to enhance training and readiness requirements of the Georgia Department of Defense. \nDESIRED RESULT la: Reduce the number of facilities requiring major repairs (\u003e$IOOK) by 11 facilities annually from 98 in F.Y. 1999 to 87 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n109 \n \n98 \n \n87 \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: No situations of environmental noncompliance at the Department of Defense facilities in F.Y. 2000. \n \no \n \no \n \no \n \n150 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nResults-Based Budgeting \n \nProgram Fund Allocations \n \nF.Y. 1999 APPROPRIATIONS F.Y. 2000 RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \nAGENCY PROGRAMS \n \n1.

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 evaluates the effectiveness of public education in the state. \nOFFICE OF INSTRUCTION \nThe Office of Instruction consists of five divisions: State Schools, Technology Services, Student Transportation Services, Student Learning and Assessment, and Quality and School Support. The office: \n provides leadership in developing and implementing curriculum for elementary, middle and secondary students; \n administers student support programs;  administers the Governor's Honors, student assessment and special education programs;  designs guidelines for the expenditure of state/lottery funds for K-12 technology;  provides informationto local school systems regarding training in technology;  coordinates with GSAMS agencies for K-12 site selection and delivery of instructional programs;  develops and delivers leadership and organizational development programs that focus on systemic change for local system personnel and for school board members;  administers funds and provides technical assistance for school improvement activities including Charter Schools, Pay for Performance, and Next Generation Schools; and  provides technical assistance for and processes waiver requests. \nOFFICE OF POLICY AND COMMUNICATIONS \nThe Office of Policy and Communicationsconsists of six divisions: Legal Services, Teacher Projects, Legislation and Special Projects, Federal Programs, Superintendent's Help Desk, and Communications.

Even though per pupil expenditures continue to increase and our efforts are focused, student achievement has not risen as fast as it should. And, the United States is even beginning to fall behind in areas where we once held supremacy. For example a 1998 report found that the United States' high school graduation rates are now trailing other developed nations, such as Poland, Sweden and South Korea. \nThe nation is concerned that our children are not only lacking basic knowledge of reading, writing, and mathematics, but are not acquiring the critical thinking skills needed in the new millenium. In this national mix of confusion and disappointment, just how well are Georgia's students doing? \nStudent scores on assessment instruments are usually the \"bottom line\" when student achievement is discussed. Georgia's testing programs comprehensively assess students' educational achievement from kindergarten through high school. The Department of Education's testing schedule includes both normreferenced and criterion-referenced components to determine educational effectiveness. The administration of nationally norm-referenced tests provides students, teachers, and parents with grade equivalencies and percentile ranks whereas criterion-referencedtests yield results about learning and \nmastery of Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). \nThe Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) are some of the assessment tools Georgia educators use. The ITBS are a battery of general achievement tests for grades three through eight. They are intended to measure how well a student has learned the basic knowledge and skills that are taught in \n \nelementary and middle schools, in such areas as reading and mathematics. \nThe ITBS are norm-referenced tests designed to provide information on how well students perform in comparison to a national norm group. An ITBS test score interpretation of a 3rd grade national percentile ranking of \n \nThus, Governor Barnes recommends increasing the Reading First Program by $4,632,785 to add 160 additional schools and adding $5,000,000 to increase the Reading Challenge after school initiative to serve approximately 3,600 additional students over the 7,123 students in F.Y. 1999. \n \n1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 \n \nReading \n \n::~~m~:riU~::::::':~1\"~~::::::::]~~::r::::::i:::i:i:~*r~:::::::::::I~I::;m \n \nSlttOrade \n \n53 \n \n53 \n \n53 \n \n52 \n \n53 \n \n':~f~:';:~~~':Sg::::::R?::~~:::::::::::::~:~::::::::::::f::I:~:~:~::::::::t \n \n5 Grade \n \n53 \n \n55 \n \n56 \n \n57 \n \n58 \n \n'::~~~:~ri~~:::::: :::::::~2::::::::::Rg::,~:::::::::::::::::~~:::::::::::::::::~~::::::::: \n \n61 in Reading reveals that 61 % of Georgia's third graders are doing as well or better than the 3rd graders in the national norm group. \nIn the past three years, scores in reading and mathematics have seen a steady gain or have stabilized across all three grade levels. With Governor Barnes' support of programs like Reading First and the Reading Challenge after school program, which focus on reading fundamentals for all students, there is little doubt that this upward trend will continue and be reflected in future national percentile rankings. Further, continued lottery funding for Georgia's Voluntary PreKindergarten program will prepare our youngest students for school success. We may have some distance to travel before our children reach our educational aspirations for them, but Georgia's educational system is moving them in the right direction. Governor Barnes believes in giving the many good educational initiatives we already have in place the necessary time to positively impact student achievement. \n \nOften touted as a crucial indicator \n \nof student achievement, the Scholastic \n \nAptitude Test (SAT), continues to be a \n \nyardstick held by institutions of higher \n \nlearning to measure their prospective \n \nstudents. Usually taken by rising high \n \nschool seniors, SAT scores have seen a \n \nsteady increase in Georgia since 1994. \n \nGeorgia has put into place several state \n \nfunded initiatives which have \n \nencouraged this steady gain in \n \nachievement. Governor Barnes \n \ncontinues to be a proponent of these \n \nincentives. The Governor has \n \nrecommended that the state continue \n \nfunding the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT) for 10th grade \n \nstudents to \"practice\" for the SAT. The \n \nGovernor also realizes the importance \n \nof giving Georgia's students the \n \nopportunities to take more rigorous \n \nacademic coursework. \n \nHe \n \nrecommends the state keep on funding \n \nopportunities for Georgia's high school \n \nstudents to take more challenging \n \ncourses through the Advanced \n \nPlacement (AP) program and attend \n \ninstitutions of higher learning while \n \n169 \n \n STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia's SAT Scores \nSource: The Georgia Department ofEducation Scores have been recentered. \n \n1996 \n \n1994.~  900 920 940 960 980 1000 \nDTotal Verbal and Math \n \nstill in high school through participation in the Postsecondary Options (PSO) initiative. Governor Barnes is recommending $1.6 million in continuing funds for high school seniors to take AP exams and $4.5 million in lottery funds for 4,596 students to participate in PSO. These initiatives will help Georgia students reach the Department of Education's goal ofthe average SAT score of\" 1000 by 2001.\" \nBesides tests that our student's take which we can use to compare them to others in the nation, it is important to have a competency test that measures the knowledge of the state's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). Currently in the final development phase, the Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) will test Georgia students on their required core courses and then be used for diagnostic, remedial, and enrichment purposes. Anticipated to be fully implemented in the 2000-200 I school year, the CRCt will serve a dual purpose of diagnosing individual students and program strengths and weaknesses as related to instruction of the Quality Core Curriculum and provide a means to gauge the quality of education in the state of Georgia. Governor Barnes is supporting this accountability initiative in education through his recommendation of \n \n$864,000 in additional funding to complete the F.Y. 1998 CRCT contract providing a total of 18,000 test questions. \n \nGOVERNOR'S ALTERNATIVE \n \nSCHOOLS INITIATIVE \n \nGeorgia's citizens are well \n \nacquainted with the national need to \n \nensure the personal safety of students \n \nand teachers in our classrooms, as well \n \nas the need to control the rising tide of \n \nyouth violence in our neighborhoods. \n \nToday, more than ever before, parents \n \nand teachers are extremely concerned \n \nabout the problem of discipline in the \n \nclassroom. Data show that no one is \n \nexempt from the problem of school \n \ndiscipline. \n \nSchools from all \n \ngeographical locations of the country; \n \nschools in urban, suburban, or rural \n \nareas; and schools serving students \n \nfrom all racial/ethnic backgrounds-all \n \nexperience problems with student \n \nbehavior. Moreover, these problems \n \nare more than a security and safety \n \nproblem, but are critical factors in \n \nacademic achievement. Many feel that \n \nunless you have order and civility in \n \nour schools, not much learning will \n \ntake place. \n \nIn recent years numerous policy \n \nproposals have emerged to deal with \n \nthe problem of disorder in schools. \n \nWhile delinquent behavior of students \n \nhas been a concern for many years, it received particular attention with the number of schoolyard shootings that have taken place recently. Also, more attention has been given to school discipline with the development of the Georgia's School Safety Act of 1997. In response, policy makers have proposed various reforms, including requiring students to wear uniforms, showing \"zero tolerance\" to gang activity, putting students in small schools or schools within schools, hiring more security guards, and supporting efforts to prevent school violence before it occurs. \nGovernor Barnes is committed to ensuring Georgia's schools are places where parents can feel at ease in knowing that the classrooms their children occupy are free of distractions and are conducive to a positive learning environment. That is why he supported the School Safety Act of 1997, which provides support for alternative \"Crossroads\" schools that provide intensive supervision and strict discipline to troublesome students. Governor Barnes wants Georgia's Crossroads programs to meet the needs of students who, for a variety of reasons, learn best by following a nontraditional path. The CrossRoads program offers an assortment of required and elective subjects presented in an independent study format that uses individualized instruction. \nGeorgia's CrossRoads programs are often located on a separate campus away from our traditional schools and welcome students who did not find success at their comprehensive middle or high school. Governor Barnes' objective is to implement an effective educational program in which students are assisted in becoming responsible citizens. By providing them with appropriate opportunitiesto experience success as they study, more CrossRoads students will complete the requirements for a Georgia high school diploma or pass the General \n \n170 \n \n STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nEquivalency High School Diploma Examination. \nThe mission of the alternative schools is to return students to their home campuses as cooperative members of the learning community. The CrossRoads program objectives include helping students to earn graduation credit, improve academic skills, refme decision-making and problem-solving techniques, and explore educational and vocational opportunities after high school. The program also teaches responsibility, respect, and encourages the development of an improved selfimage. \nAs a member of the Legislature, the Governor supported efforts to make Georgia's schools a safe place. He is committed to maintain, strengthen and expand upon programs already in place that protect our children. The Governor does not take lightly the task of returning discipline to the classroom, helping troubled youth complete high school, and assuring that our children receive quality teaching in the classroom. That is why he is recommending $1 1,760,905 to improve the alternative schools of the state. These funds serve several purposes. First, they put the CrossRoads program funding on a comparable dollar per student formula that by F.Y. 2001 will erase the wide funding disparities that have marked the program. Further, they allow local systems the flexibility to hire additional personnel for such basic needs as reading instruction and improved security. Finally, $3,500,000 is earmarked to expand the program by an additional 2,065 students. \nTECHNOLOGY FOR INSTRUCTION \nOne of the state's prime commitments has been the placement of cutting edge technology into Georgia's classrooms and schools. \nSince F.Y. 1994, over $300 million in lottery funds have been appropriated to put computers, satellite \n \ndishes, and other instructional technology into Georgia's classrooms. In 1992-93, before lottery funding, only 26% of Georgia classrooms had computers and only 15% had distance learning capability. By 1996-97, after \n \nteachers to the many educational uses of technology, the Governor is recommending continuing the $15,401,836 in general funds for Educational Technology Support. It is paramount that our teachers have the \n \n120.0 \n100.0 \n80.0 \n'c\" ~ 60.0 'E \n40.0 \n20.0 \n0.0 \n \nLottery-Funded Technology \u0026 Equipment \nF.Y. 1994 - 2000 (proposed) \n \n4 years of lottery funding, distance learning capability was available to 72.4% of all classrooms, and 62% of classrooms had an average of 2.2 computers each. \nThe Internet is rapidly emerging as a powerful learning tool for both students and teachers. Using the Internet, students in the most remote schools can access vast amounts of information and knowledge not available any other way. Governor Barnes has demonstrated his commitment to technology by recommending an additional $2,488,311 to provide for continued Internet access to schools and for upgrading Internet access lines. \nTECHNOLOGY TRAINING INITIATIVES \nGeorgia's initiative to implement technology in the classrooms has placed new pressures on teachers to become adept at using these tools to improve student achievement. To aid the integration of technology into Georgia's classrooms and to introduce \n \nnecessary knowledge in the use and application ofcomputers and advanced electronic technology. Research has begun to show that teachers trained to use technology to improve instruction can positively impact their students' achievement. \nGovernor Barnes is continuing the state's commitment to provide technology resources for the classroom by recommending $25 per FTE, for a total of $33,975,257 be appropriated for this purpose from F.Y. 2000 lottery funds. \nOTHER TRAINING INITIATIVES \nGeorgia's Technology Training Centers are an asset to teachers and administrators who want to master and expand technology skills. With new course offerings like INTECH, a full immersion weeklong course for a school team, the successful centers are in greater demand for their services. Georgia currently has 13 Centers in operation, most in a cooperative arrangement between the Department \n \n171 \n \n STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nof Education and University System institutions or Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESA). To further expand the ability of centers to train teachers to integrate technology into their classroom teaching, Governor Barnes is recommending the addition of a contract instructor at each center and $858,000 in lottery funding to upgrade Windows and MacIntosh software at the centers. \nFORMUI.A FUNDING INCREASES \nGeorgia is one of the fastest growing states in the U.S., and significant resources have to be expended each year merely to provide funding for the increase in new students who enroll. \nFor F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $135,583,216 to fund enrollment increases of an estimated 25,045 students over the original count in F.Y. 1999. \nOTHER K-12 IMPROVEMENTS Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum \n(QCC) standards specify the content for kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The standards are the result of the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Act that includes the broad competencies expected of all students who complete public high school in Georgia. The Georgia Department of Education has completed a massive effort to update the state's QCC that has involved thousands of teachers and parents. All \n \nmajor academic subjects have been updated to reflect a more rigorous attention to academic achievement and mastery of basic skills. Standards of achievement are being raised in Georgia. \nTo measure how well Georgia students will meet these new standards, Governor Barnes recommends $864,000 in additional funding to complete the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests. Further, Governor Barnes is continuing the funding to pay the cost of Advanced Placement and Preliminary SAT exams for students. \nGovernor Barnes is recommending $7,000,000 in F.Y. 1999 bonds to purchase vocational lab equipment in 29 new schools to be built in F.Y. 2000 and to convert 9 industrial arts labs to educational technology labs in existing schools. This recommendation supports the state's elimination of the general education diploma, requiring instead a college or technology/career prep diploma. This funding will assist school systems in offering quality vocational programs which meet industry standards. \nTo encourage excellence in Georgia teachers and reward them for their accomplishments the Governor recommends $3,000,000 to fund increased participation in the Pay for Performance program. The need for these additional awards proves that Georgia teachers will give the extra time and attention necessary to increase student achievement. \n \nGovernor Barnes is also recommending the continuation of the vision screening for kindergarten children begun in F.Y. 1999 by recommending $657,120 in F.Y. 2000 to screen the new kindergarten class. \nGEORGIA VOLUNTARY PREKINDERGARTEN PROGRAM \nGeorgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive prekindergarten program serving four-year olds and their families of any state in the country. The program successfully combines services from public and private providers of early childhood education in order to provide a high quality pre-kindergartenexperience for every Georgia family that wants it. \nA recent study by the Council for School Performance found that compared to results from other national and state studies that used the same rating scale, Georgia pre-kindergarten classrooms are higher quality than preschool classrooms in other states. \nThe Governor is maintaining the commitment to the Pre-Kindergarten Program through his recommendation of $224,779,234 in lottery funding to serve 62,500 four-year-olds and their families in F.Y. 2000.

These appointments are for 4-year terms. \nSTATE EMPLOYEES' ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT The Board of Directors consists of the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, the Commissioner of Labor, the State Auditor, the Commissioner of Personnel Administration and 2 members appointed by the Governor. The State Employees' Assurance Department contracts with the Employees' Retirement System to provide group term life insurance for members of the Employees' Retirement System. \n \nEMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM BOARD OF TRUSTEES \nThe Board of Trustees consists of 7 members as follows: the State Auditor, ex officio; the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex officio; the Commissioner of Personnel Administration, ex officio, 1 member appointed by the Governor; 2 members appointed by the first 4 members, (each of the 2 members have at least 5 years of creditable service with an agency included in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia); and a seventh and remaining trustee who must not hold public office, not be a member of the retirement system and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of moneys. This member is appointed by the first 6 members. The members who are not ex officio members serve 4-year terms. \nPUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \nThe Board of Trustees consists of the 7 Employees' Retirement System trustees plus 2 additional members appointed by the Governor for 4-year terms. \nTRIAL JUDGES AND SOLICITORS RETIREMENT FUND \nThe Board of Trustees consists of the 7 Employees' Retirement System and 3 additional members appointed by the Governor as follows: 1 state court judge; 1 state court \n \nGEORGIA LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTION \nThese 2 plans are placed under the administration of the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. \nSOCIAL SECURITY COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE \nIn 1956, state legislation was enacted that designated the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as the \"state agency,\" authorized to enter, on behalf of the state, into an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to extend the benefits of the federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system to the employees of the political subdivisions of the state. \nPUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM STANDARDS In 1983, legislation was enacted that defmed funding \nstandards, assured the actuarial soundness of any retirement or pension system supported wholly or partially from public funds, and established legislative control procedures to prevent the passage of retirement legislation without concurrent funding in accordance with defmed funding standards. \nAUTHORITY Title 47, Chapters 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18, 19 \u0026 22. \n \n193 \n \n EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \nStrategies and Services \n \nADMINISTRATION As indicated on the Roles and \nResponsibilities page, staff of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) has administrative responsibility for 11 plans/programs. Included are the group tenn insurance program for members of the ERS; the Georgia Defmed Contribution Plan for parttime, temporary and seasonal employees; maintenance of agreements with the Federal Secretary of Health and Human Services which enables employees of the state and its political subdivisions to be covered by the Social Security System; and 8 separate retirement funds. \nEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Since 1970, ERS has offered a \nPre-Retirement Program in the Atlanta area for prospective retirees of ERS who are within 5 years of retirement eligibility. In recent years the program was expanded. The programs are now called SERIES I, SERIES II, and SERIES III. With this expansion, ERS now offers educational planning for all members of the system. The seminars provide exploration and discussion of topics such as retirement, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, estate planning and wills. Classes are coordinated by ERS staff with the assistance of outside resources. \nGROUP TERM LIFE INSURANCE \nBy contract with the State Employees' Assurance Department, the ERS provides group tenn life insurance to members of the ERS. Upon employment, a.system member receives insurance coverage equal to 18 times current monthly compensation. For most system members, the amount of insurance coverage is frozen at age 60 and decreases one percent a month until age 65. At age 65, coverage is fIxed at 40 percent of the age 60 amount. For Employee Retirement System members hired on or after July 1, \n \n1982, \"new plan members\", employee premiums are one-fourth of a percent of monthly salary and the state contributes one-fourth of a percent. For System members hired before July 1, 1982, \"old plan members\", employee premiums are one-half of a percent, half of which is contributed by the state on behalf of the employee. \nMEMBERSHIP Total membership in the 8 plans, \nincluding all 3 categories of active, retired and inactive was 281,537 as of June 30, 1998. An additional 122,673 were members of the Defmed Contribution Plan as of June 30, 1998. The ERS estimates that \n194 \n \napproximately two-thirds of its annual operating budget is required to provide accounting for all active and inactive members, including the processing of refunds and monthly benefIt payments due to tenninated and retired members (See table.). \nINVESTMENTS The ERS has its own \"in-house\" \nInvestment Services Division, which handles the day-to-day investment transactions with advice from 5 outside advisors. Five members of the ERS Board of Trustees along with the Executive Secretary comprise the Investment Committee. Investment recommendations made by the Investment Committee require \n \n EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- Strategies and Services \n \napproval by the entire ERS Board of Trustees (See table.). \n1982 AMENDMENT EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \nIn 1982, the ERS of Georgia Act was amended to assure future actuarial soundness. Members employed on or after July 1, 1982, are referred to as \"new plan members.\" Members joining the ERS prior to July 1, 1982, are referred to as \"old plan members.\" Approximately 70 percent of the ERS members have joined under the new plan provisions. A primary difference between the old plan and new plan provisions is in benefits. The \"benefits formula factor\" in the old plan allows for a range with a minimum of 1.45 percent up to a maximum of 2.2 percent for 35 or more years of creditable service. The \"benefit formula factor\" in the new plan allows for a fixed percent factor of 1.70 percentage regardless of the number of years of creditable service. A minimum of 10 years of creditable service is required under either plan. \n \nSOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM \nSTATE AGREEMENT The ERS is authorized to enter, \non behalf of the state and the political subdivisions of the state, an agreement with the secretary of health and human services that extends benefits of the federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance system to employees of the state and \n \npolitical subdivisions of the state. There are over 2,000 political subdivisions (authorities, school boards and local governments).

At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value ofthe state's forests. \nForestry contributes $19.5 billion to the state's economy and provides more than 144,000 jobs in Georgia. The Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forest land, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset. \nThe Forestry Commission has three budget unit divisions: \n Reforestation  Field Services  General Administration and Support The Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offers technical assistance to landowners in urban areas. \nFOREST PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Forest Protection, the primary function of the Forestry \nCommission, includes a statewide network of county and district offIces adequately supplied with manpower and equipment necessary for the suppression of Georgia's more than 7,800 annual wildfIres. The basic fIre suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fIres. This is followed by a powerful initial attack with trained fIrefIghters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized at the early phases of a forest fIre. The average size fIre in Georgia is four acres while the average for the southern region is 13 acres and the national average is 42 acres. The success of the program is credited to the manpower and equipment, including fIre detection aircraft, being maintained in a constant state of readiness in order to respond during the early phases of a forest fIre. \nThe Rural Fire Defense program is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the Forestry Commission. This program has provided 815 fIre departments located in 144 counties a total of 1,250 pieces of low cost/lease fIre equipment. The Commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local fIre departments statewide. \nIn the area of Forest Management, the Commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. Multiple forest resource management is encouraged and promoted through forest stewardship on both public and private lands. Other forest management responsibilities of the Department include forest health monitoring (which includes periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest \n \nquality, education and compliance surveys, promotion and maintenance of RC\u0026D and providing cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the Department conducts the management of four state-owned and two non-state forests using forest stewardship principles and the training of 77 fIeld foresters. \nREFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide \nhigh quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the Commission's tree improvement and seedling production program, its intensively managed seed orchards, its low-cost seed cleaning and conditioning plant and its two tree seedling nurseries. \nEDUCATION AND URBAN FORESTRY In order for the State to maintain its leadership role as \none of the top forestry states in the nation, the Forestry Commission believes in providing information about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment to the public and targeted audiences. The role of the Education and Urban Forestry program is to inform the public via all media areas about the importance of forest resources to the State's economy, environment and quality of life for all citizens. The responsibility of the Urban Forestry program is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests and provide professional expertise to resolve conflicts between people and forest resources. The program is responsible for the administration of more than $300,000 in federal grants to Georgia communities. \nUIllJZATION, MARKEI1NG AND DEVELOPMENT The Commission provides technical assistance to \nGeorgia's small to medium forest product companies in the area of wood utilization (fIber supply and recycling of wood products) to ensure that these industries remain a strong and stable force in the state and local economy. The commission also provides input about fIber supply to the Georgia Pulp and Paper Initiative. \nATTACHED AGENCY The Herty Foundation supports Georgia's pulp and \npaper industry by providing research and product development opportunities to manufacturers at its facility in Savannah. This support consists of providing laboratory services and several pilot scale production paper machines to allow Georgia's pulp and paper manufacturers to conduct research, develop new or improve existing products. \nAUTHORITY Title 12-6 of the OffIcial Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n202 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe protection, fIghters located in the county offIces. \n \nIn 1988, the State Legislature \n \nregeneration \n \nand In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget, the added the outdoor burning permit \n \neffective management Governor is recommending $2,640,000 requirements to the Forest Fire \n \n. \n \nof Georgia's more than to replace 17 crawler tractors and 13 Protection Act.

This continued effectiveness with personnel reductions has been accomplished through the consolidation of offIces, use of new technology such as GIS, and implementation of the \"closest unit response\" to fIres. \nWhile its fIre fIghting effectiveness continues to lead the Southeast, the Commission has two areas of concern in its fIre fIghting efforts: adequate training and better equipment. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor is recommending $65,600 to implement a continuous training program for all foresters and fIre \n \nlikely to fuel larger fIres. The installation of presuppression fIrebreaks is the most popular service offered by the Forestry Commission to landowners in the state. \nIn response to the increased number of homes and other structures being built in forested areas throughout Georgia, the commission conducts the rural fIre defense program. The rural fIre defense program provides low-cost fIre-fIghting equipment and technical assistance to local communities. To date, more than 1,250 fIre trucks have been built and leased to rural fIre departments under this program. \n \napproximately 50 million tree seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners in an effort to encourage reforestation. These seedlings reforest approximately 71,000 acres each year, helping to reduce the gap between acres harvested and regenerated, while at the same time providing wildlife food and habitat, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing urban and rural aesthetics. \nFOREST MANAGEMENT Through the forest management \nprogram, professional foresters provide technical assistance to landowners in the areas of reforestation, site \n \n203 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \npreparation, forest management plans, \n \ntimber marking, forester referrals, \n \ninsect and disease detection, timber \n \nstand \n \nimprovement, \n \nnatural \n \nregeneration, and the marketing of \n \nforest products. Through forest \n \nstewardship, the commission \n \nencourages and enables non-industrial \n \nprivate landowners to practice better \n \nstewardship of their woodlands, \n \nincluding timber, wildlife, soil, water, \n \nhistoric, scenic and recreational \n \nresources. Many of the federal \n \ngovernment's forest management \n \nprograms, such as the stewardship \n \nprogram, are available to landowners \n \nthrough the Forestry Commission. \n \nIn addition to landowner services, \n \nthe State Forestry Commission \n \nmanages the Dixon Memorial, \n \nBaldwin, and Alamo State Forests and the Gracewood, Dawson, and Paulding Forests. Through management of these state forests, the commission promotes multiple resource management and environmental awareness in the areas of timber, soil, water, wildlife, recreation, and aesthetics. \nUTILIZATION, MARKETING, AND DEVELOPMENT \nThe forest utilization efforts of the commission include providing technical assistance to the forestry community of wood manufacturers, contractors, banks, entrepreneurs and other state agencies to ensure an efficient, sustainable, productive forest resource that will provide job creation opportunities for Georgians. These \n \nservices range from encouraging efficient use of wood in the manufacturing process, providing infonnation on recycling of wood and wood products, collecting and analyzing marketing and resource data, and expanding markets for Georgia's forest products. \nThe commission's compilation of the Forest Inventory Analysis on a five-year cycle has proven to be a success with landowners and forest product industries. The compilation of vital infonnation about forest resources, health and productivity levels has significantly impacted forest planning to the benefit of the $19.5 billion industry in the state. \n \n35 30 25 20 \n-.'\"~ \u003c\".'\". 15 \n10 \n \nAverage Fire Size for Southeastern States (1986-1996) \n29.25 \n \no \n \nGa \n \nN.

In addition to conducting general and special investigations, the bureau provides forensic laboratory examinations and collects data on crime and criminals. Numerous programs are operational and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting are in place to combat drug trafficking and other crimes. \nThe operations of the GBI include a staff of 812 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and 6 Regional Crime Laboratories through which the various support services are carried out. \nGENERAL INVESTIGATION The mission of the General Investigation Section, \nwithin the investigative division is to provide assistance to local law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes committed throughout the state on a daily basis. The office also has original jurisdiction in the investigation of crimes committed on state property; the enforcement laws governing non-tax paid alcohol and tobacco; and the investigation of crimes committed on the basis of race, creed, religion or national origin. The majority of the manpower resources are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the 4 regional drug enforcement offices. The regional field offices conduct general investigations of all crimes and comprise the most significant program in the General Investigation Section of the division's budget. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. There are 7 specialized areas of operations: \n Crime Analysis Unit.  Crime Scene Specialist Program.  Financial Investigations Unit. \n Intelligence Unit.  Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces.  Polygraph Unit. A number of services are provided to assist local agencies in solving crimes throughout the state:  Aid in the detection, apprehension and conviction of criminals, and behavioral science related services. \n \n Criminal investigations into auto thefts, car jacking, organized crime, fugitives, and controlled substances. \n Arson investigations.  Publications and dissemination of the Criminal Activity Bulletin.  Polygraph exams for other criminal justice agencies upon request.  Assistance with security and crowd control for major organized events and civil disturbances in the state. \nFORENSIC SERVICES The Division of Forensic Sciences operates the \nheadquarters laboratory in Atlanta and 6 regional laboratories in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Moultrie, Macon and Summerville. The laboratories examine submitted evidence, report scientific conclusions about that submitted evidence, and testify in court about results. These services must be timely and as up-to-date as possible to satisfy the needs of the courts and the police. The Headquarters Laboratory consists of the following programs: \n Administration  Criminalistics  DNA Database  Drug Identification  Serology/DNA  Questioned Document  Implied Consent  Photography  Toxicology  Latent Examiner  Firearms Identification  Medical Examiner Services. \nGEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the \noperation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CnS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national infonnation databases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Unifonn Crime Reporting system. It perfonns audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies. \nAUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n214 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nFORENSIC SCIENCES In today's world of crime and \nillegal drugs, the Division of Forensic Sciences must be ready to respond to the scientific needs of the criminal justice agencies. The scientific information provided must be accurate and timely to enable these agencies to detect, apprehend, and prosecute criminals. The crime laboratories where all scientific examinations are performed have an ever-increasing caseload and challenges resulting from changes in the nature and investigation of crimes. The number of requests for services jumped from 111,320 in calendar year 1996 to 118,342 in 1997. As of July 31, 1998, the number of requests reached 67,656, which is expected to double by the end of 1998. The chart below reflects the number of requests by service areas. \nTo address the large caseload increase, new and expanded facilities \n \nrecommended $17 million in new G.O. Bonds and $1.3 million in existing bonds to build a laboratory annex and morgue building adjacent to the headquarters building in Atlanta. The 83,350 square feet laboratory annex will house the laboratory operations of toxicology, drug identification and blood alcohol services. The new morgue facility with 11,306 square feet will support the autopsy function and necessary medical examiner function. \nAdditionally, G.O. Bonds of $4 million are recommended to replace the current laboratory and to add a morgue facility in Augusta. \n \nNEW SCIENTIFIC POSITIONS \n \nFOR \n \nLABORATORIES \n \nSTATEWIDE \n \nTo increase the scientific staff for \n \nthe toxicology, drug identification and \n \nblood alcohol functions of the \n \nlaboratory, and to reduce the number \n \nService Areas \nSerology Implied Consent Pathology DrugID Toxicology Other Services \n \n1996 \n3,264 22,445 \n9,328 46,361 17,808 12,114 \n \n1997 \n3,200 21,778 11,970 50,891 17,472 13,031 \n \n1998 \n2,122 9,943 6,390 32,423 10,107 6,671 \n \nTOTAL 1998-through July 31 \n \n111,320 \n \n118,342 67,656 \n \nmust be built, scientific positions must be added for the crime laboratories statewide and additional equipment must be provided. Governor Barnes is committed to providing the Division of Forensic Sciences with the resources needed to meet the demands of the criminal justice agencies and to respond to these needs within 30-days of request. \n \nNEW CRIME LABORATORIES \n \nAND MORGUES \n \nIn the F.Y. 1999 Amended \n \nBudget, \n \nGovernor \n \nBarnes \n \nof cases performed by scientists, 85 new positions and related expenses at a cost of $3.7 million are recommended by Governor Barnes in the F.Y. 2000 Budget. Along with this increase, scientific equipment at a cost of $2.6 million is also recommended. These additional state funds totaling $6.3 million (54% increase over the current appropriation allows the Division of Forensic Sciences the largest increase ever. Included in the 85 positions are 17 new medical examiner personnel at a cost of $1 million. These 17 \n \npositions will assist the current medical examiner staff and reduce the number of autopsies performed by a pathologist from over 400 to 300 per pathologist. \nWith these additional resources, Georgia's Crime Laboratory will stay at the top as one of the nations leading Forensic Science operation. \nCRIME INFORMATION \nFIREARMS PROGRAM (INSTANT GUN CHECK) \nThe Firearms Program provides a state background check for handgun purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, the program provides the means for a federally licensed firearms dealer to call a 1-800 number to obtain an \"instant check\" on individuals prior to the transfer/sale of a handgun. This check is to insure the individual is not prohibited by law to possess a handgun. \nIn F.Y. 1998, the Georgia Crime Information Center processed 82,740 transactions and 6,794 were denied. \nThe firearms program was extended in F.Y. 1999 to include an instant background check for purchasers of long guns (rifles). In the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget, Governor Barnes recommended initial funding of $95,463 for 6 positions to begin processing these checks, and in the F.Y. 2000 Budget, $395,000 is recommended for a full year cost to fund the expansion of the program. The number of searches is expected to increase by 50,000 to over 80,000 checks. \nAUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS) \nAFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fingerprints with speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fingerprint cards and reports of final disposition create and update computerized criminal \n \n215 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nhistory records which are used by all criminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. These records are also used to respond to inquiries for applicant background checks. Latent prints submitted from law enforcement agencies are processed for the purpose of providing investigative leads or positive identification of a suspect. \nRemote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBI's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely. \nThe GBI receives fingerprint images electronically fr(\\m law enforcement agencies able to transmit images directly into the GBI's AFIS via a Live Scan device. \nSixteen agencies transmit images directly to the GBI. These agencies provide arrest booking services to many other agencies in their area. In total, electronic images are received from over 90 agencies. \nThe AFIS database files currently total 1,982,511. Tenprint files store 2 thumbs for each offender and total 1,143,813 people. Latent cognizant files total 838,698 people and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,437 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the above databases. These prints are stored for future reference \nAutomation of final disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions directly into the computerized criminal history database via the GO Network and a second transaction from specially designed case management software. Electronic updates of final dispositions from both types of automated courts accounted for approximately 14% of the judicial data to GCIe. \nCRIMINAL ruSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CnS) NETWORK \nThe cns network provides law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies quick access to \n \ncritical state and national and driver's records; vehicle, boat and airplane registrations; stolen vehicles and property; wanted persons; and missing children and adults. There are currently 5,951 terminals on the cns Network. During F.Y. 1998, the system processed 126,274,688 messages. \nUNIFORM CRIME REPORTING (UCR \nUCR is a program designed to collect and provide crime statistics for Georgia on incidents of crime and arrests. Crime and arrests statistics are reported to local law enforcement agencies, the Governor and General Assembly, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, county and municipal officials, and media representatives. Interested citizens also could obtain the same statistics through the publication of \"Georgia UCR Summary Report\". \nINVESTIGATNE PROGRAMS \nINTELLIGENCE UNIT The Intelligence Unit acts as a \nrepository for criminal intelligence \n \ninformation. The unit provides specialized support to GBI work units as well as other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. \nInformation from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies. An average of over 13,000 requests is received each year.

Constitutionally, he is charged with executing the laws of the state and with conserving the peace as Commander-in-Chief of the Georgia National Guard. Because of the various demands made of him, the Governor requires a personal staff to assist him in scheduling his time, answering correspondence, writing speeches, drafting legislation, and in maintaining contact with citizens of Georgia, members of the General Assembly and state department and agency heads. \nOFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET The Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) provides the \nGovernor with assistance in the development of the state budget; with developing and updating annually a State Strategic Plan; with working with all state agencies in the development of their own strategic plan and ensuring that it conforms to the state plan; and with program evaluation, working with the State Auditor. \nGEORGIA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS The council, a division of OPB, advises the Governor about the study and development of the arts in Georgia, and provides grants and technical assistance to local governments and art groups. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The following agencies are attached to the Office of the \nGovernor for administrative purposes. The protection from discrimination against any \nindividual in public employment and in the sale, purchase or rental of housing within the state because of race, color, religion, sex national origin, handicap or age is the responsibility of the Commission on Equal Opportunity. \nConsumers legitimate business enterprises are protected by the Office of Consumer Affairs from unfair \n \nand deceptive activities through the enforcement of the Fair Business Practices Act and other related consumer protection statutes. \nIn addition to administering the Drug Control and System Improvement Grant, the Crime Victim Assistant Grant and the Crime Victim Assistant Compensation program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council serves as a statewide clearinghouse for criminal justice information and research, and disseminates information to criminal justice agencies in the state. \nThe Children and Youth Coordinating Council, operating through federal/state grant awards, assists local government and private service agencies in the development of community-based programs for delinquent youth and youth who are at high risk of becoming delinquent. \nThe Georgia Human Relations Commission provides assistance for resolution of problems, issues and situations that pose a threat to positive community relations, and develops programs and activities to achieve a positive human relations climate in the state. \nThe Professional Standards Commission sets policies and procedures for certification of educational personnel in the public schools; reviews and analyzes requests for certification; issue certificates to qualified applicants; and develops and enforces the code of ethics and performance standards for teachers in local school systems. \nCoordination of the activities of state and local agencies in preparing for natural disasters are carried out through a comprehensive emergency and disaster readiness program administered by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. \nThe Georgia Information Technology Policy Council is responsible for expanding the state's use of technology and improving the delivery of services to the public. The council is charged with developing a state strategic plan for information technology deployment and development. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 10, 12, 19,35,3840,43,45,46,49, and 50 of \nthe Official Code of Georgia Annotated, Executive Order. \n \n237 \n \n OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR \nStrategies and Services \n \nA wide range of services is delivered by 8 agencies attached to the Office of the Governor, including Consumer Protection, Emergency Management and various grant distribution functions. \nPROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS \nLEMON LAW UNIT The Motor Vehicle Warranty \nRights Act, commonly referred to as the \"Lemon Law\", provides consumers a method through which to attract the attention of new car manufacturers and secure the repair or replacement of those new vehicles that do not function properly. \nAfter six years of operation the success of the Lemon Law program is \n \nreplacement vehicle from the manufacturer or the repurchase of their defective vehicles by the manufacturer. These consumers alone received almost $9.3 million worth of benefit from this part of the Lemon Law process alone. Consumers, automobile dealers and auto manufacturers alike continue to praise Georgia's Lemon Law Program for its consistency and fairness. \nTELEMARKETING Over $40 billion are lost each \nyear to illegal telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While \n \n45.5% Arbitration Decision for Consumer \n \nResolutions in Lemon Law Arbitrated Cases in F.Y. 1998 \n \n11.0% Arbitration \nRequest Withdrawn by \nConsumer \n \nremar a e. \n \ne emon aw \n \ncaseload continues to grow due to the \n \nincreased volume of motor vehicles \n \nsold. Over 3,700 Georgians \n \ncontacted the Office of Consumer \n \nAffairs (OCA) in F.Y. 1998 for \n \nassistance. Since the inception of the \n \nprogram in July 1990, over 25,000 \n \nLemon Law cases have been initiated \n \nby Georgians. \n \nThe pie chart \n \ndemonstrates the resolutions of the \n \nLemon Law cases submitted to \n \narbitration in F.Y. 1998. Over 450 \n \nconsumers received either a \n \n43.5% Arbiration Decision in Favor of Manufacturer \nrecogmzmg e au u ent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions. \nThe elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for \n238 \n \nfmancial abuses since they often live alone, usually have substantial savings or equity, have a fixed income, and are generally more trusting than other segments of our population. \nTEACHER PREPARATION AND CERTIFICATION \nThe Professional Standards Commission (PSC) is responsible for the creation and implementation of standards and procedures for certifying and recertifying education personnel as qualified to practice in the public schools of Georgia. Along with this, the Commission is responsible for the approval of teacher education programs offered at the teaching colleges in the state. The Commission is also responsible for the maintenance of professional standards and is authorized to revoke or deny a certificate for good cause after an investigation. \nDuring the 1998 session of the Georgia General Assembly, the Legislature agreed to transfer the authority of the Professional Practice Commission to the PSC in an effort to streamline the investigation of alleged teacher misconduct. This move places the responsibility for enforcing the Professional Teaching Practices Act along with adopting a code of professional ethics for educators under the control of the PSC. The intent of the Code is protect the health, safety and general welfare of students and educators within the State and assures the citizens of Georgia that the education profession is accountable for acts of unprofessional conduct. \nGeorgia's K-12 educators need to be adequately prepared to enter the classroom upon graduation. The experiences new teachers have during their first year in teaching are critical to how long they will stay in the profession and how successful they will be. With this in mind, Governor Barnes is recommending $100,337 for the Georgia Professional \n \n OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services \n \nStandards Commission to develop a new teacher induction program that will acclimate beginning high school teachers to the rigors of today's classroom. Also, the Governor is recommending $50,169 to support the Profes,sional Standards Commission's involvement in a Performance Based Accreditation Project that allows Georgia the opportunity to participate in the development of a preparation system based on the performance of graduates rather than inputs and activities of the education program. Governor Barnes wants to strengthen and provide greater flexibility by changing old \"course-by-course\" requirements to competency based requirements that must be met prior to graduation. \nGRANTS FOR DELINQUENCY PREVENTION PROGRAMS \nThe Children and Youth Coordinating Council (CYCC) assists local communities in the development of community-based programs for delinquent and high-risk youth through grant awards and technical assistance. \nThe council will continue expanding its successful efforts to educate local communities, youth and parents on laws and other important issues related to youth. This effort will be accomplished by continued high-tech video productions available free to middle and high schools, libraries, technical schools and the University System over the Georgia Public Television PeachStar Satellite Network. Additionally, copies of the videos are offered free to any group in Georgia actively working with young people. Emphasis will continue to actively market the educational videos and maximize use of the media to get the message to all Georgians. \nApproximately $2.6 million will be available for prevention programs, intervention programs for delinquent youth for improving Georgia's \n \njuvenile court system and programs \n \nintended to prevent teen pregnancies. \n \nThe council will promulgate requests \n \nfor proposals, train potential \n \napplicants, award grants, monitor \n \nrecipients, provide technical \n \nassistance, and provide information \n \non funding sources. \n \nWith the state expecting to \n \nreceive $5.8 million, CYCC will \n \nadminister the new juvenile \n \naccountability block grant program, \n \nwhich is designed to promote greater \n \naccountability in the Juvenile Justice \n \nSystem. The Council will involve the \n \nJuvenile Courts, law enforcement, \n \nprosecutors, other state agencies and \n \nrepresentatives \n \nfrom \n \nlocal \n \ngovernment in developing a plan for \n \nreducing juvenile crime. \n \nGRANTS FOR VICTIMS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT \n \nFederal formula grants are provided to state and local governments to aid in implementing effective drug enforcement and other criminal justice improvement projects. Along with the formula grant program, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) is responsible for administering and coordinating other programs that are of service to the citizens of Georgia. \n \nDRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM \n \nIMPROVEMENT \n \nFORMULA \n \nGRANT PROGRAM \n \nThe grants aid state and local \n \ngovernments in implementing \n \neffective drug enforcement and other \n \ncriminal justice improvements, which \n \nemphasize violent crime and serious \n \noffenders. These funds may be used \n \nto support projects, which improve \n \nthe apprehension, prosecution \n \nadjudication, detention, supervision, \n \nand rehabilitation of drug offenders. \n \nAdditionally, eradication projects, \n \ntreatment projects, projects that target \n \nmajor drug offenders, and projects, \n \nwhich improve the overall \n \neffectiveness of the criminal justice system, are eligible for funding. \nA total of $13.l million was made available in F.Y. 1998 from the U.S. Department of Justice for drug enforcement projects and other improvements to the criminal justice system. \n \nCRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE \n \nPROGRAM AND CRIME VICTIMS \n \nCOMPENSATION PROGRAM \n \nFederal funding of $7.3 million \n \nwas made available in 1998 to \n \nenhance direct services to victims, \n \nand to encourage states to develop \n \nand improve comprehensive services \n \nto \n \nall \n \ncrime \n \nvictims. \n \nCorrespondingly, the Crime Victims \n \nCompensation Program provides \n \nmonies to victims of crime usually for \n \nlost wages and for medicaVfuneral \n \nexpenses. The Council received \n \n1,608 claims in F.Y. 1998 and made \n \n747 awards. Victims can be \n \ncompensated for out-of pocket \n \nexpenses up to a maximum of \n \n$10,000. Public awareness for this \n \nprogram will be increased through \n \nregional workshops and statewide \n \nvictim conferences. \n \nThe Residential Substance \n \nTreatment program, administered by \n \nCJCC, provides funds to assist state \n \ncriminal justice agencies and units of \n \nlocal government in developing and \n \nimplementing residential substance \n \nabuse treatment programs within state \n \nand local correctional and detention \n \nfacilities. \n \nThe \n \nViolent \n \nOffender \n \nIncarceration/Truth in Sentencing \n \nprogram provides immediate \n \nassistance to state and local \n \ngovernments to contend with the \n \nescalating inmate population crisis \n \nfacing most corrections systems. The \n \nprogram recognizes the need for \n \nadequate conventional confmement \n \nspace for violent offenders-adults \n \nand juveniles-to ensure that such \n \noffenders serve a substantial portion \n \nof their prison sentences. \n \n239 \n \n OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nOFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET (OPB) \n \nPLANNING, BUDGET, AND EVALUATION \n \nPURPOSE: Guide and monitor the implementation of the Governor's policies by formulating the Governor's annual budget, ensuring that state agencies use strategic plans to implement the Governor's policies, and evaluating state programs and operations. \n \nGOAL 1: The state's annual budget will reflect the Governor's priorities and policies, and set the tone for fiscal accountability. \nDESIRED RESULT la: At least 80% of the agency performance measures in the F.Y. 2000 budget will be desired results. \n \nDesired Result la: Percentage ofMeasures \n \nThat Are Results \n \n80% \n \n70% 80% \n \n70% \n \n60% \n \n50% \n \n40% \n \n30% \n \n20% \n \n10% \n \n0% FY98 Actual FY99Desi'ed FYOO Desi'ed \n \n.::~:.'~~:.::~:.:;~:.~\u003c~::.'f~'~:: \n \n.:'..:.:.:.'.,'.',':','.,.:. .:..::,.: ',.:.,.:.,.,...,.............. \n......:.:.:.:.:::::::::;:::;:;:::... \n \nI While 47% of the perfonnance measures in the F.Y. 1999 Budget Report were results, some desired results were revised for the F.Y. 2000 budget to make them valid and measurable. \n \n55% \nIAgencies were not required to specifY desired results until F.Y. 1999.

This redirection reflects an anticipated decline of 21 % in the number of cases from 85,117 in F.Y. 1999 to 67,106 in F.Y. 2000. \n $30 million in federal TANF funds will be redirected from cash assistance to provide child care for 14,706 additional children based on an average cost of $170 per child per month. This brings the total number of children in state-supported child care (excluding pre-kindergarten programs) to 84,950 at a budgeted cost to the state of $173.3 million. \n An additional $5 million in redirected TANF funds will be used to support the Fatherhood Initiative which is designed to increase non-custodial fathers' participation in paying child support for their children. The Fatherhood Initiative will provide training and education to fathers which will help them gain employment and pay their child support obligations. The Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) will be used to provide the training. \n $5,744,000 in redirected TANF funds is used to broaden substance abuse treatment programs for TANF clients. \n Another $12 million in redirected TANF funds will be used to offset recent federal budget cuts to the Social Services Block Grant. The redirection will restore funding that supports child protective services and services for the elderly and mentally retarded. \n $8,495,066 in state funds is being recommended to redirect 661 Child Support Enforcement staff from regional management to local Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) management. This change will fully integrate staff at the local level and should result in more efficient and effective delivery of services. \n $1,475,772 in state funds is being recommended to relocate DFCS offices in Fulton and Gwinnett counties. \n \n The Governor is recommending $1,350,000 in F.Y. 2000 to implement population-based community cardiovascular prevention programs that will focus on changing behaviors that put individuals at risk for chronic diseases. Additionally, this program will address diabetes management and risk reduction. \n $13,239,934 is being redirected from state hospitals to community mental health services for chronically ill adults in accordance with the hospital reallocation formula established pursuant to House Bill 100. This will complete target area core services for CMI in the Fulton, DeKalb and Bulloch/Chatham/Glynn service areas and expand CMI services in 10 of the 13 service areas. Additionally the Governor is recommending $1.3 million to complete CMI core services in the Richmond/Emanuel and the Baldwin service areas. \n The Governor is recommending $1,960,231 to expand community-based services for 750 elderly citizens. \n $1,853,000 is being recommended to implement an HIV drug assistance program to provide triple therapy medications to approximately 200 individuals. \n The Governor is recommending that the department use $4.4 million in new federal substance abuse block grant funds for prevention and treatment services for adolescents and for day treatment and residential services for pregnant and postpartum women. \n $2,166,634 is recommended to provide communitybased services to 117 persons with mental retardation who are currently on the waiting list. \n $750,000 is being recommended to implement statewide monitoring and utilization review of community mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services. \n \n253 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Children's Trust Fund Cash Benefits Special Purpose Contracts Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Operating Expenses Major Maint. \u0026 C~nstruction Community Services Grant In Aid to Counties Institutional Repairs \u0026 Maint.

Services are provided through over 100 health, financial assistance, social services, regulatory and rehabilitation programs in 1,500 locations. \nThe department's mission is to assist Georgians in achieving healthy, independent, and self-sufficient lives. In order to fulfill its mission, the department is: \n Focusing on strengthening families; \n Encouraging and demanding responsibility from both parents in the caring of their children; \n Emphasizing community-based services with local partners who share in making decisions; and \n Increasing emphasis on education, prevention, and early intervention. To achieve its goals and \nobjectives in these areas, DHR is working closely with other state agencies, local communities, private enterprise, and private foundations and charitable organizations. \nThe department is also actively seeking to privatize services where possible. Day care, child support recovery and community-based services for the elderly and for the mentally retarded are areas where privatization has been the most successful. \n \nand child care providers. In some \n \nrural areas, the nearest jobs may be in \n \nanother county, with no transit \n \nsystems available to bring in \n \nprospective employees. \n \nWhile the unified transportation \n \nsystem helps DHR clients to become \n \nmore self-sufficient, it has also \n \nstreamlined services and reduced \n \nduplication. Previously the Divisions \n \nof Aging; Family and Children \n \nServices; Public Health; and Mental \n \nHealth, Mental Retardation and \n \nSubstance Abuse each operated and \n \nmaintained their own fleet of vehicles \n \nto serve their clients. This \n \narrangement was not efficient; it \n \nwasted limited funds and resources. \n \nVans sat unoccupied for much of the \n \nday, and others transported only a few \n \nclients at a time. Some divisions had \n \nno transportation services for clients \n \nin certain areas. \n \nDHR \n \nreorganized \n \nits \n \ntransportation \n \nsystem \n \nby \n \nconsolidating and coordinating these \n \nmultiple transportation services. \n \nUnder the new system, one provider \n \ndelivers all transportation services in \n \na specific area. A central coordinator \n \nin each of DHR's 12 regions oversees \n \nthe operations of vans and buses for \n \nall clients and develops alternatives to \n \nDHR transportation, such as contracting with private providers, securing grants for transportation services and using existing transit systems. \nThe system will operate in all counties statewide beginning July 1999. Transportation services offered under this system are expected to grow, since sharing the vehicle pool will serve more clients with fewer vans. Extra van space created by consolidation will mean that more clients can be served, and some older vehicles may be surplused. Thus, DHR will be able to expand transportation services to the elderly, TANF clients, and people with disabilities. DHR will also continue to work with other agencies and organizations to further consolidate, and, in some instances, privatize state transportation. \nCHILD CARE Georgia has budgeted over $143 \nmillion in F.Y. 1999 alone to help pay the cost of child care for families currently on TANF, families who have recently gone off TANF, and families with limited incomes. Women on TANF have first priority for child care dollars so someone can take care of their child(ren) while the \n \nGeorgia's Child Care Appropriations by Fiscal Year (1991-2000) \n \n200,000,000 \n \nUNIFIED TRANSPORTAnON SYSTEM \nIn F.Y. 1999, $7 million was appropriated to develop a unified transportation system to help better meet the needs of DHR clients. With more Georgians moving towards selfsufficiency, the need for transportation grows as well. More people with disabilities are finding jobs, but their disabilities may prevent them from driving a car. Older Georgians need rides to senior centers and doctors' appointments. Welfare recipients need rides to work, training \n \n150,000,000 100,000,000 50,000,000 \n[] State Funds \n \nu \n \n~ \n \n[]Non-State \n \noo \n \n259 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services \n \nclients are in education or training programs. The goal is to help these women off TANF and into jobs and self-sufficiency. Georgia, and the nation as a whole, has seen the number of families on TANF declining due to a good economy and the government's emphasis on helping clients fmd jobs instead of simply sending them welfare checks. \nThe second priority for child care dollars is families transitioning off TANF into the working world. Without this help, these newly employed women would find the lack of child care an insurmountable barrier to keeping their jobs and they would land right back on welfare, starting the cycle all over again. As more women are successfully moving off welfare rolls into the working world, this transitional population will continue to increase. \nThe third priority for child care funding is families with limited incomes. Many of these single-parent families, including ones which have never been on welfare, face the possibility of going on welfare if they don't get help with child care. Other families with limited incomes, even two-income families, struggle to make ends meet. For them, child care is a significant expense. \nThe amount of money Georgia spends on subsidized child care has grown significantly. Georgia spent only $18 million on child care in F.Y. 1991 and will spend $143 million for child care in F.Y. 1999. The Governor is recommending an increase to $173 million in F.Y. 2000, an addition of 14,706 slots. \nAt the same time, the state is spending a greater percentage of these increasing funds on families with limited incomes. For example, in F.Y. 1994 the state spent two-thirds of its child care dollars on welfare families and one-third on transitionalllimited income families. In F.Y. 1999 the figures are reverseJ. The state will spend one-third of its child care dollars on welfare families and two-thirds on transitional/limited income families. \n \nAverage TANF Cases by Fiscal Year \n \n160,000 \n \n140,000 \n \n120,000 100,000 \n \nJ. \n \nI \n \n80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 \no \n \nI - '-C: \n \n..:: \n:'- l- \ni \n- In \n \n~ \n \n~: \n \n+ \n \n\\0 \n \n00 \n \n00 \n \n00 \n \n~.~ I - \nF \nI: \n:. \n \nr'- '.~ \n. \n \n, \n-1 \n \nEven with the tremendous increases in funding for subsidized child care provided by the state, the demand for subsidized child care slots far exceeds the number of slots that are supported through state funds. \nGEORGIA WORK CONNECTION \nDuring the past decade, workforce development has become an increasingly important concern in Georgia. Today's economy and workplace technology require a welltrained, technologically advanced workforce capable of performing productively. In order for Georgia to develop the workforce it needs, state agencies must collaborate and deliver a cohesive system of services. \nThe Departments of Labor (DOL), Human Resources (DHR), and Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) have formed a partnership based on a commitment to meet this challenge by reducing duplication of services and providing an improved level of services for their customers. The commissioners of the three collaborating agencies entered into a written agreement creating the Georgia Work Connection on August 7,1997. \nDHR contracts with DOL to provide employment services to \n \nTANF and food stamp recipients \n \nincluding assessment, work readiness, \n \njob search workshops and referral to \n \ntraining and education. In F.Y. 1998, \n \nDOL placed 29,141 welfare and food \n \nstamp recipients in jobs with a 30-day \n \nmonitored retention. \n \nDTAE provides basic skills \n \ntraining for TANF recipients at its 33 \n \ntechnical schools and at three \n \ncolleges. \n \nIn F.Y. 1998, \n \napproximately 5,000 TANF recipients \n \nreceived comprehensive training and \n \n1,500 were placed in jobs. \n \nThe vision of the Georgia Work \n \nConnection is a seamless, streamlined \n \nservice delivery system that provides \n \neasy access to services that are based \n \non the needs of each customer. The \n \nConnection provides support for the \n \ntransition to more productive \n \nemployment through continuous skill \n \ndevelopment. \n \nAn interagency work team was \n \ncharged with developing the blueprint \n \nfor the new system and with \n \noverseeing its implementation. The \n \ncollaborative plan lays out specific \n \ngoals, outcomes, schedules, and \n \nresponsibilities. The goals of the plan \n \nare to: \n \n Implement a common intake \n \nsystem; \n \n Create a common assessment \n \nsystem; \n \n260 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services \n \n Coordinate case management;  Establish mutually accepted work \nreadiness criteria;  Provide quality education and \ntraining;  Coordinate job development and \nplacement activities;  Utilize employer input regarding \nneed;  Link computer systems for data \nsharing across agency lines; and \n Provide staff training and development. Implementation teams comprised \nof state and local representatives from the three departments have been assigned to each of the nine goals with a project manager designated from each agency to assure coordination. All three departments will use DHR's regional boundaries for the collaborative's service system. \nPUBLIC HEALTH SHIFT TO PREVENTION \nModifying behaviors and eliminating conditions that contribute to illness and disability is far more cost effective than providing clinical treatment. Estimates are that every one dollar spent on prevention saves five dollars on future treatment. \nPrevention programs are designed to improve the health of the community through education and \n \nhealth promotion. Prevention strives \n \nto reduce or eliminate behaviors and \n \nconditions known to be risk factors \n \nfor chronic diseases and other health \n \nproblems. These programs are highly \n \ncost effective as they are directed at \n \npopulations, yet positively impact the \n \nhealth of individuals. Public Health \n \nprevention efforts focus on three \n \nimportant areas. \n \nFirst, chronic disease is \n \nresponsible for seven in ten deaths in \n \nGeorgia. Approximately one in four \n \nGeorgians smokes regularly. Two- \n \nthirds do not exercise regularly. \n \nNearly one in four is overweight. \n \nOne in five adults have high blood \n \npressure, and one in four have high \n \ncholesterol. Thirty-seven percent of \n \ndeaths in Georgia in 1996 were from \n \nstroke and heart attack. The \n \nintroduction of community-based \n \nprevention strategies such as smoking \n \ncessation, nutrition education, weight \n \nmanagement and exercise promotion \n \ncould have a significant impact on \n \ndeaths attributable to chronic \n \ndiseases. \n \nThe Governor is recommending \n \n$1,350,000 in F.Y. 2000 to \n \nimplement \n \npopulation-based \n \ncommunity cardiovascular prevention \n \nprograms that will focus on changing \n \nbehaviors that put individuals at risk. \n \nAdditionally, this program will \n \nLeading Causes of Death by Percent in Georgia (1996) \n \nStroke \n \nInjury \n \nHIV \n \n \n \ni \n \nDIabetes -!R--If---+I---+-I---If---+I------jl \n \no \n \n5 \n \n10 \n \n15 \n \n20 \n \n25 \n \n30 \n \n261 \n \naddress diabetes management and risk reduction. \nOutreach and case management for at-risk, low income pregnant women is essential to reducing low birth weight and infant death. Onehalf of births in Georgia are to Medicaid-eligible women; and onehalf of these low-income women do not receive adequate prenatal care. Georgia's infant mortality rate of 9.4 deaths per 1000 births in 1995 was the fourth highest in the Southeast and is far higher than the national average of 7.6. \nThe third area of importance is early intervention services for infants and young families, including outreach and hospital contact programs. These programs identify problems and offer parenting education, on-going counseling and case management. These programs can prevent the development of chronic health conditions in children. \nThe introduction of communitybased initiatives focusing primarily on prevention can reach a greater number of Georgians than the traditional and more costly clinicbased programs. The implementation of Peachcare, a Medicaid expansion that will allow more low-income families to access treatment through private providers, gives Georgia the opportunity to begin shifting public health resources to prevention services. \nSUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT \nSubstance abuse costs Georgia millions of dollars in Medicaid inpatient hospital costs and welfare benefits. The state also pays for the treatment and care of children with developmental disabilities born to substance abusing mothers. \nThe department has initiated a substance abuse treatment program targeted at low income, pregnant women and mothers with young children. The program is different from conventional substance abuse programs in that it focuses on the families' needs and provides support \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies And Services \n \nservices such as transportation, \n \ntransitional housing and child care, \n \nwhich are necessary if these women \n \nare to be successful in their treatment, \n \nleave public assistance, and regain \n \ncustody of their children. \n \nIn F.Y. 1999, $8 million in state \n \nand federal funds was appropriated to \n \nexpand this program statewide. In \n \nF.Y. 2000, the Governor is \n \nrecommending the department use \n \nnew federal block grant funding of \n \n$2 million and TANF funds of $5.7 \n \nmillion to expand day treatment and \n \nresidential services to additional \n \nwomen. \n \nIn March 1998, a statewide group \n \nof \n \nprevention \n \nadvocates, \n \nadministrators, and practitioners met \n \nas the Oversight Committee for a \n \nState Prevention Plan and began the \n \ndevelopment of a comprehensive \n \nfive-year plan for substance abuse \n \nprevention services. The purpose of \n \nthe plan is to identify gaps in the \n \nprevention service system, set long- \n \nterm goals and objectives, and assist \n \nin local planning efforts to develop a \n \ncommunity-based prevention service \n \nsystem for Georgia. \n \nAn important aspect ofthe plan is \n \nto focus limited resources in areas of \n \ngreatest need. The Governor is \n \nrecommending that the department \n \nuse $1 million in new federal funding \n \nto perform a comprehensive needs \n \nassessment \n \nIn conjunction with this \n \nassessment, a collaborative pilot is \n \nproposed with the Family Connection, \n \nthe Division of Public Health and the \n \nDivision of Mental Health, Mental \n \nRetardation and Substance Abuse as \n \nprimary partners. The pilot will \n \naddress substance abuse and violence \n \nprevention targeted at youth in grades \n \nK-12. The objective will be a \n \nstrategic plan establishing baseline \n \ndata, which can be used to: \n \n Identify and target at-risk \n \npopulations; \n \n Identify the most effective \n \nprograms \n \nfor \n \nspecific \n \npopulations; \n \n Monitor long-term outcomes and \n \neffectiveness of the programs in \n \nplace and determine needs for \n \nnew programs; and \n \n Insure compliance with the set- \n \naside requirements in the \n \nSubstance Abuse Block Grant, \n \nwhich mandates that 20% of the \n \ngrant be used for prevention. \n \nThe needs assessment along with \n \nthe five year plan will enable the \n \nMHMRSA regions to both \n \nquantitatively identify risk factors, \n \ntarget populations, and develop \n \nresearch based programs to address \n \nsubstance \n \nabuse \n \ntreatment \n \nrequirements. Approximately 10,000 \n \nadditional clients will be served by \n \nthe prevention initiative.

The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, administration and programs. The division also assists in ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements. \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner and staff provide leadership for one \nof the largest agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met. There are 21,201 state and county DHR employees in over 100 programs in over 1,000 locations in all 159 counties. The commissioner is appointed by and accountable to the Board of Human Resources which is appointed by the Governor. ADOPTION SERVICES \nThe Office of Adoption Services is responsible for increasing placement in permanent adoptive homes the children in DHR's custody. The office contracts with private adoption agencies for the recruitment of families and adoption support services. AGING SERVICES \nThe Office of Aging Services administers statewide programs that provide community-based support services to the elderly. These services allow the elderly to remain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement of individuals in long-term care facilities. Services are classified in two broad categories: the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Aging Services. CCSP provides client assessment, case management and six major categories of services, including home-delivered services under a Medicaid waiver to individuals who meet specific income and health-related criteria. The Aging Services component provides services that have no specific income-based eligibility criteria but are targeted to the most economically or socially needy individuals. Services include senior centers, home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and Alzheimer's programs. The Office of Aging Services also operates a health insurance hotline to answer questions concerning Medicare, Medicaid and longterm care insurance. CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY BASED INITIATIVE \nA staff of four provides administrative support to the Family Connection Initiative. The Family Connection's purpose is to help ensure that Georgia's children are healthy, educated, and nurtured by strong and economically sufficient families through the development of partnerships in which state, county, and local organizations work together to improve results for children and families. \n \nFRAUD AND ABUSE The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected \nfraud and abuse within DHR's public assistance programs and seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process. This office also receives, reviews, and investigates all reports of criminal misconduct by employees of the department. MULTI-AGENCY TEAM FOR CHILDREN \nThis program purchases intensive and intermediate residential treatment and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, and other medical professionals. REGULATORY SERVICES \nThe Office of Regulatory Services is responsible for inspecting, monitoring, licensing, certifying and registering a variety of health, long-term and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state laws and regulations. UNIFIED STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION \nIn F.Y. 1999, a unified transportation system for DHR clients became available in four regions of the state. In F.Y 2000, the system will be available statewide. The system supports DFCS, DRS, Aging Services, and DMHMRSA clients by providing transportation to employment, training, medical appointments, therapeutic treatment, community care, and childcare. ATTACHED AGENCIES \nThe State Health Planning Agency is attached to DHR for administrative purposes. It serves as staff to the Health Services Council and provides research and technical assistance in developing the components of the State Health Plan. The agency also administers Georgia's Certificate of Need review program which determines whether a proposed health care project conforms to state statutory provisions and guidelines contained in the State Health Plan. \nThe Developmental Disabilities Council is also attached to DHR for administrative purposes. The Council administers a federal grant program to initiate innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. \nAUTHORITY Titles 3,5,8,9,12-14,16,18,19,25,26,31,34,36,37,40,43- \n45,47-50, Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

However, all Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. Specific duties of the Division of Public Health include: \n Preventing, controlling and treating a variety of diseases and afflictions which affect physical health, including cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, hypertension, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. \n Providing services in family planning, teenage pregnancy prevention, family health care, maternal and infant care, dental hygiene, community care for the elderly, malnutrition, and immunizations. \n Providing and disseminating health information and education. \n Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiological investigations and reporting communicable and infectious diseases. \n Monitoring various aspects of environmental health including inspections of restaurants, sewage systems, hotels and motels, and other facilities for compliance with health laws. \n Collecting vital statistics and maintaining records of all births, deaths, marriages and abortions occurring in Georgia. \n Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel. \n \n Policy Development - using the information gathered from assessments to develop and direct comprehensive state and local public health policies. \n Assurance - making sure that needed health services are available, either through the public or private sector, that address the health status and health needs of the community. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Division of Public Health has 19 health district \noffices located across the state. Each district office is headed by a director who must, by law, be a medical doctor. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery ofhealth services and in community health assessment. \nIn each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay. \nAUTHORITY Titles 31 and 49-6-60, Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated; and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, 889-564 as amended, 95-963, 95-627, 96-212 as amended, 96-510, and 99-457. \n \n\"CORE\" FUNCTIONS Because the responsibilities of Public Health have \nevolved to be so broad and varied, there has been much discussion about what the basic role of Public Health should be. To address these concerns, the division has adopted three \"core\" functions: \n Assessment - analyzing and evaluating, on a continuous basis, prevailing health status and health needs of the community. \n \n271 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Division of Rehabilitation Services \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Special Purpose Contracts Purchase of Service Contracts Institutional Repairs and Maint.

As required by the 1992 amendments to the federal Rehabilitation Act, the Division gives priority to those with the most severe disabilities. \nDRS also provides speakers, seminars, and consultation to state and local governments, employers and consumer organizations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. \nVOCATIONAL REHABILITATION Comprehensive services designed to develop the \nemployability of disabled individuals are available statewide through 57 hub offices located within 12 service regions. Additionally, the Division also contracts for vocational services with 22 private non-profit facilities located across the state. Services include vocational assessment, the development of an individually written rehabilitation plan based on service needs, medical treatment, psychological services, vocational and academic training, counseling, interpreter services for the deaf, reader services for blind individuals, work adjustment training, equipment, and job placement. \nALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES While employment in the public and private sectors is the \nmajor emphasis of the placement process, there are alternative programs for people who are currently unable to work in the competitive labor market. \nThe Supported Employment Program offers support and services for individuals whose disabilities are so severe as to have precluded immediate entry or re-entry into the competitive workforce. Through temporary job coaches and supports within the community, a person can learn necessary job skills while working in a real job setting. \nThe Georgia Industries for the Blind provides training and employment in manufacturing and services to afford citizens who are blind the opportunity to learn job skills that can be used in the private sector. Manufacturing plants are located in Bainbridge and Griffin. \nThe Business Enterprises Program offers employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired to become independent business people operating vending machines, snack bars and cafes throughout the state. This program, authorized under the federal Randolph Shepard Act, \n \ngives priority to blind individuals in federal buildings and requires that the Director of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program be the state licensing agency. \nINDEPENDENT LIVING The Independent Living Program coordinates services to \nindividuals with severe disabilities to assist them in becoming independent in the local community. Preventing and/or removing people from nursing home care is one of the major functions of the Independent Living Program. Services are provided through contracts with seven nonprofit agencies in Atlanta, Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Gainesville, Macon and Savannah. Additionally, the Division operates a residential treatment program at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute. \nROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE The Institute is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation \nfacility which serves people with severe disabilities.

The mission of the division is to enable families and individuals to protect and care for their children and themselves. The division works to prevent dependency and to keep families together. \nThere are county departments of family and children services in each of Georgia's 159 counties. A county director and a local board administer the county offices. The county director oversees the daily operations and administers the programs in the county. The board serves as an advocate for the county department and approves the budget for the agency's operations and for county-funded programs. The County Commission appoints the board members. \nEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS DFCS is the state agency responsible for conducting \nthe state's welfare program under the provisions of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This program replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The primary goal of the program has shifted from ensuring clients receive cash assistance to assisting needy families in becoming self-supporting through job preparation, work, and prevention of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. \nAssistance to TANF recipients can be divided into three categories: work activities, support services, and cash assistance. Work activities include job searches, education and job training, and assistance with job placement. Support services such as child care, vouchers for housing, transportation, emergency needs and other necessary expenditures will assist the family toward work and prevent the need for cash assistance. Cash assistance is provided to TANF recipients either by check or electronic benefit transfer. \nThese services will be available in all counties. Services will be directed by the county Department of Family and Childrens Services in collaboration with other local public and private agencies. A range of job placement, job preparation and support services are available at the local level but will vary in content based on the availability of local resources. Work participation is a major component of Georgia's TANF program. Adult recipients, including those with children over the age of one, are required to participate in a work activity. All \n \nservices are provided in keeping with the goal of reducing dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls when they apply for assistance. \nSOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive approximately 80,000 \nreports of child abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigates reports and assesses the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. Over 19,000 children are in protective custody of the state at any given time. \nChildren whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, those of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system or who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoptions through the state. The State Office of Adoptions, attached to the Commissioner's Office, is discussed in the Roles and Responsibilities pages concerning the Division of General Administration and Support. \nCHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement helps any custodial parent \nor caretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Nearly 257,000 parents were under court order to pay child support in F.Y. 1998 on behalf of over 606,000 children in Georgia. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1998, over $333 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $60 million, of which $10 million were state funds. The program operates from 80 offices in 47 Judicial Circuits. Legal assistance is provided by local Assistant District Attorneys or Special Assistant Attorneys General. The federal funding includes incentives earned on collections based on cost effectiveness. The department is seeking to privatize and consolidate the collection process, while enhancing its customer service and being more aggressive in its enforcement activities. \nAUTHORITY \nTitles 15-11, 19-7-5, 19-8, 19-9,29-5-2,30-5,31-7-2,38-329, 39-4, 49-2, 49-3, 49-4-3, and 49-5, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 93-288, 95-113, 96272, 96-422, 97-35, 98-558, 100-203, 100-485, 104-193 and 49 Stat., as a..'l1ended. \n \n280 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Operating Expenses Motor Vehicle Purchases Utilities Major Maint. \u0026 Construction Community Services Total Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds DOAS - Indirect Governor's Emergency Funds Total Federal \u0026 Other Funds Total State Funds \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \nF.Y.1997 Expenditures \n335,197,744 70,184,283 745,017 11,642,088 2,125,687 \n277,537,300 697,432,119 \n \nF.Y.1998 \n \nF.Y.1999 \n \nExpenditures Current Budget \n \nF.Y. 2000 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection Level \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n306,607,553 59,774,232 366,382 10,745,423 2,127,537 \n302,646,772 682,267,899 \n \n303,020,437 52,504,097 200,000 10,539,760 1,962,161 \n328,583,346 696,809,801 \n \n288,851,954 51,967,411 200,000 10,539,760 1,962,161 \n344,665,957 698,187,243 \n \n13,295,000 16,419,900 29,714,900 \n \n288,851,954 51,967,411 200,000 10,539,760 15,257,161 \n361,085,857 727,902,143 \n \n65,917,568 131,031,070 \n2,404,104 50,000 \n199,402,742 498,029,377 \n10,413 1,411 \n \n70,747,051 113,706,134 \n2,404,068 30,000 \n186,887,253 495,380,646 \n9,768 640 \n \n71,058,758 100,316,381 \n1,313,100 \n172,688,239 524,121,562 \n8,721 603 \n \n71,062,657 101,074,579 \n1,313,100 \n173,450,336 524,736,907 \n8,436 603 \n \n5,744,000 \n5,744,000 23,970,900 \n \n76,806,657 101,074,579 \n1,313,100 \n179,194,336 548,707,807 \n8,436 603 \n \n281 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y. 2000 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Operating Expenses Motor Vehicle Purchases Utilities Major Maint. \u0026 Construction Community Services Total Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds DOAS - Indirect Governor's Emergency Funds Total Federal \u0026 Other Funds Total State Funds \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \nAdjusted Base \n306,201,940 52,604,896 200,000 10,539,760 1,962,161 \n329,038,086 700,546,843 \n \nRedirection Level \n \nFunds To Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \n(17,102,449) (2,137,485) \n \n1,500,000 \n \n(3,307,142) (22,547,076) \n \n16,718,360 18,218,360 \n \nRedirection Totals \n289,099,491 51,967,411 200,000 10,539,760 1,962,161 \n342,449,304 696,218,127 \n \n71,062,657 100,324,579 \n1,313,100 \n172,700,336 527,846,507 \n8,721 603 \n \n750,000 \n \n(22,547,076) \n \n750,000 17,468,360 \n \n(292) \n \n71,062,657 101,074,579 \n1,313,100 \n173,450,336 522,767,791 \n8,429 603 \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n289,099,491 51,967,411 200,000 10,539,760 1,962,161 \n342,449,304 696,218,127 \n \n71,062,657 101,074,579 \n1,313,100 0 \n173,450,336 522,767,791 \n8,429 603 \n \n282 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nMental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Functional Budget Summary \n \nF.Y. 1999 APPROPRIATIONS F.Y. 2000 RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \nI.

The division is charged by law to: \n Provide adequate mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services to all Georgians. \n Provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers. \n Provide services through a coordinated and unified system that emphasizes community-based services. \nThe mission of the div~sion is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence and self-sufficiency. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The division is responsible for setting policy regarding \nthe use of all federal and state funds and allocates funds to 13 regional boards. The regional boards are responsible for service planning, coordinating, contracting and resource allocation functions. The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures and monitoring and evaluating the achievements of service providers. \nTwenty-eight community service boards have been established to govern the operation of public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse community services. The regional and community boards are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice of providers by expanding participation of public and private providers. \nSTATE HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS There are 7 regional hospitals primarily addressing \npsychiatric and substance abuse problems. These hospitals are located in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah and Thomasville. Additionally, patients are sent to state hospitals by court order for evaluation before trial and for treatment if found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. One state institution, Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serves people with mental retardation exclusively. Four of the regional hospitals have special units serving people with severe mental retardation. \nThe 8 institutions have a total staff of 8,388 which provide inpatient and outpatient services, therapies and \n \nother support services to clients within multi-county service areas. With an average client load of approximately 3,219 for all institutions, they serve 17,000 patients annually. \nAREA PROGRAMS The 28 community service areas are made up of a variety \nof dispersed but coordinated subprograms serving all age and primary disability groups. Basically, this service network includes community mental health center clinic sites, mental retardation day training centers, detoxification units, 28-day treatment programs for substance abusers, day treatment programs for adolescent substance abusers and a variety of residential programs for all disability groups. Additionally, there are a number of community programs operated through contracts with private nonprofit agencies. \nThis service network delivers comprehensive preventive, early detection, rehabilitation and treatment services for five major groups: adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people with mental retardation, adults addicted to alcohol or other drugs and teens with alcohol and drug problems. Clients most in need are those with social, emotional, developmental and/or physical disabilities resulting from mental illness, mental retardation or substance abuse, and who, without state-supported services, are unable to function. \nWith the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each of these clients. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-term crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Additionally, community staff screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients who are discharged from the hospitals. \nThe community service programs are comprised of 228 state staff and over 10,000 local staff who provide services to approximately 81,000 mentally ill adults, 13,000 mentally retarded clients, 33,000 children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, and 47,000 substance abuse clients annually. \nAUTHORITY Titles 15-11-40,17-7-130,17-7-131,26-5,31-3,37-1-20, \n37-2 through 37-10 and 40-5, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 97-35 as amended, 100-690, 100-203,101-476, and 101-496. \n \n284 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nCOMMUNITY SERVICES \n \nPURPOSE: Assist older Georgians and persons with disabilities to live healthy, independent and self-sufficient lives in their homes and communities and to avoid or delay nursing home placements by providing a continuum of community services. \nGOAL 1: Older Georgians and/or Georgians with disabilities will avoid premature and costly nursing home placements; and will improve their health and nutrition status. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Community Care Services Program participants will delay admission to nursing homes an average of32 months or longer in F.Y. 2000. \n \n \u003cf~'Wl~lJ  f{Wt~   #.#M~ij~WJ .ij~lf~ij~W# \n \n33 months \n \n32 months \n \n32 months \n \nDesired Result Ib: Clients Diverted from Nursing Home Carel \n \n20,000 14,000 \n15,000 ..;.;.,.,.:':,.. \n10,000 \n5,000 \no \nFY98 Actual \n \n15,400 16,940 \nI \nFY99 FYOO Desired Desired \n \nIBased on the number of clients who choose community care services rather than nursing home care. \n \nDESIRED RESULT 1b: The number of community care clients diverted from nursing home placement and remaining in the community will increase 10% from 15,400 clients in F.Y. 1999 to 16,940 in F.Y. 2000. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ie: Taxpayers will save at least $12,100 per client annually by delaying nursing home placement in F.Y.2000. \n \n$11,705 per client $12,100 per client $12,100 per client \n \nNot Available \n \n75% \n \n75% \n \nThe baseline data will be available for F.Y. 1999. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Id: Seventy-five percent of nutntIOn program participants will improve nutritional status within three months of first service in F.Y. 2000. \n \n285 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nGOAL 2: Individuals with severe disabilities who have been unable to work will learn work skills, earn wages, and transition to competitive employment through subsidized sheltered employment programs. \nDESIRED RESULT 2: Five percent of individuals with severe disabilities participating in subsidized sheltered employment will obtain and retain competitive employment for at least 6 months in F.Y. 2000. \n \nNot Available \n \n5% \n \n5% \n \nBaseline data will be collected in F.Y. 1999. \n \nWORK \n \nPURPOSE: Provide training, placement services and support services to low income persons and persons with disabilities so that they can obtain and retain employment and not be dependent on government benefits and services. \n \nGOAL 1: The number of families needing Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) public assistance will be reduced through increased employment and reduced recidivism. \n \nDesired Result la: TANF Clients Employed at Least 9 Months 70% \n63.0% \n60% \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Increase the percentage ofTANF participants employed three quarters after leaving TANF by 5%, from 60% in F.Y. 1999 to 63% in F.Y. 2000. \n \n50% F.Y. 98 Actual F.Y.99 Desired \n \nF.Y. 00 Desired \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: The percentage of families in which the primary earner is employed during the quarter in which they exit TANF will increase by 5%, from 67% in F.Y. 1999 to 70% in F.Y. 2000. \n \n65% (1) \n \n67% \n \n70% \n \n(1) Based on Calendar Year 1997 data.

This is one part of a total recommendation of $13,625,000 to begin a comprehensive effort in partnership with the Georgia Research Alliance and the University System. This collaborative initiative encompasses focused research, educational capacity building, marketing, and commercialization assistance. The marketing and sales component of this initiative, which will be carried out by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, will aim to influence industry stars, professionals in the field, and companies in this industry sector to consider relocating to Georgia. The Governor's recommendation of $2,050,000 for this component includes $1.9 million in marketing funds to carry out a targeted marketing campaign and $150,000 to add a senior professional and associated expenses to focus on the recruitment of companies and individuals in this industry. \n $501,380 in marketing funds to initiate a new tourism marketing program, as recommended by the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget restores $164,000 in marketing funds in the adjusted base for tourism and adds $337,380 in new marketing funds to provide for the development of a new set of tourism advertisements promoting Georgia's four major geographical destinations (the mountains, heartland, metropolitan Atlanta, and coast) in order to make Georgia's tourism advertisements more meaningful and interesting to potential tourists. \n $125,000 in tourism marketing funds to expand the department's In-State Awareness marketing program based upon its effectiveness at raising the awareness among Georgians of travel opportunities within the state. The campaign will focus marketing efforts on one of rural Georgia's best tourist markets -- metropolitan Georgians. \n $33,000 in tourism marketing funds retained in the Governor's redirection level budget in order to fund the state's portion of a public/private tourism marketing partnership. \n \n $95,016 to launch a new Export Promotion Program in an industry sector chosen to build on the department's successes in working with high technology companies, such as Industrial Machinery. \n $65,897 to add a Director of Market Research position in order to improve the department's capacity for targeted industry research. The department's increasingly strategic approach to economic development, which targets companies and industries in the most promising sectors for Georgia's long-term prosperity, requires this increased research capacity. \n $600,000 within the adjusted base for the second year of state matching funding for the Georgia Allies public/private partnership. The Georgia Allies work to increase the awareness on the part of key decision-makers in targeted industries of the value of locating in Georgia. This is achieved through planned events designed to build relationships, research aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high-level advertising campaigns. \n $115,697 in additional funding in the adjusted base for the new regional development offices. This includes $64,711 in additional funding for regular operating expenses and $50,986 in additional travel funding. \nGEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER \n $225,000,000 in bonds is recommended in the Governor's F.Y. 1999 amended budget to fund the construction of the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). This expansion, which will add 1.3 million square feet to the center, will enable the World Congress Center to maintain its position as one of the top 5 convention centers in the nation. With the additional exhibit and meeting space, new ballroom, entrance and support areas, the GWCC will be able to continue to attract and maintain larger trade shows as well as to accommodate more meetings and shows simultaneously. An estimated 1.5 million visits are made to trade shows, conventions, and other functions at the GWCC each year. \n \n311 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE, AND TOURISM \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \n \nF.Y.1997 Expenditures \n \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Authority Lease Rentals General Obligation Bonds Local Welcome Center Contracts Marketing Waterway Development \nin Georgia (Tri-Rivers) Georgia World Congress Center \nTotal Funds \n \n9,407,975 1,942,438 \n360,875 31,487 119,439 \n955,690 1,309,551 \n231,907 333,621 156,250 17,410,859 191,600 5,810,442 50,000 \n1,838 \n38,313,972 \n \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds Governor's Emergency Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \n \n354,772 17,937,630 \n20,000 \n18,312,402 \n20,001,570 \n \nPositions \n \n210 \n \nMotor Vehicles \n \n24 \n \nF.Y.1998 Expenditures \n9,908,868 1,772,389 \n389,911 19,812 65,053 \n773,184 1,488,293 \n236,678 383,256 \n \nF.Y.1999 Current Budget \n11,467,355 1,211,199 514,715 16,200 107,067 886,245 1,606,630 459,480 400,700 \n \n11,143,218 241,600 \n5,820,386 50,000 \n \n250,600 6,036,189 \n50,000 \n \n2,120,404 34,413,052 \n \n23,006,380 \n \n307,616 11,695,563 \n15,000 12,018,179 22,394,873 \n215 24 \n \n23,006,380 \n203 14 \n \nF.Y. 2000 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection \n \nLevel \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n11,209,645 1,462,415 591,389 59,900 105,824 874,245 1,587,010 409,246 419,215 \n \n137,000 58,165 161,250 \n158,000 3,500 2,800 \n \n11,346,645 1,520,580 752,639 59,900 105,824 874,245 1,745,010 412,746 422,015 \n \n250,600 5,862,531 \n50,000 \n \n399,540 \n \n250,600 6,262,071 \n50,000 \n \n22,882,020 \n \n920,255 \n \n23,802,275 \n \n22,882,020 \n195 12 \n \n920,255 2 \n \n23,802,275 \n197 12 \n \n312 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE, AND TOURISM \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y. 2000 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources Adjusted Base \n \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Authority Lease Rentals General Obligations Bonds Local Welcome Center Contracts Marketing Waterway Development \nin Georgia (Tri-Rivers) Georgia World Congress Center \nTotal Funds \n \n11,382,745 1,483,694 565,701 20,000 101,324 884,245 1,412,010 459,480 400,700 \n250,600 6,036,189 \n50,000 \n23,046,688 \n \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds Governor's Emergency Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \n \n23,046,688 \n \nPositions \n \n203 \n \nMotor Vehicles \n \n14 \n \nRedirection Level \n \nFunds \n \nTo Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \n(427,191) (89,790) (15,000) \n \n133,321 12,100 10,000 \n \n(30,000) (6,000) \n(100,218) (3,000) \n \n140,000 2,310 3,182 \n \n(124,858) \n \n125,000 \n \n(796,057) \n \n425,913 \n \n(796,057) \n(7) (1) \n \n425,913 2 \n \nRedirection Totals \n11,088,875 1,406,004 560,701 20,000 101,324 854,245 1,546,010 361,572 400,882 \n \nEnhancements \n101,843 6,500 \n20,000 \n2,400 \n12,057 4,200 3,000 \n \n250,600 6,036,331 \n50,000 \n \n2,237,380 \n \n22,676,544 \n \n2,387,380 \n \n22,676,544 \n198 13 \n \n2,387,380 \n \nTotals 11,190,718 \n1,412,504 580,701 20,000 103,724 854,245 \n1,558,067 365,772 403,882 \n250,600 8,273,711 \n50,000 \n25,063,924 \n25,063,924 199 13 \n \n313 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE, AND TOURISM \nF.Y. 2000 Budget Summary \n \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET \n \nF.Y. 1999 STATE APPROPRIATIONS 1.

The strategic focus of the Georgia Allies is to target industries that build on Georgia's competitive strengths and position the state well in the economy of the 21 51 century. The Marketing Division presents to businesses the qualities and character that have made Georgia one of the world's most desirable business centers and corporate relocation sites for targeted industries. \n \nINTERNATIONAL TRADE The role of the International Trade Division is to \npromote the sale of Georgia products and services to customers abroad and to coordinate all facets of international trade and export in the state. Through the U.S. Export Assistance Center, the Trade Division assists small and medium-sized businesses involved in exporting with trade leads, market analysis, trade shows, and identification of fmancial assistance options.

The Dome is the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The state provides no operating funds to the authority. \nAUTHORITY Title 50-7, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n317 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Industry, \n \nTrade and Tourism (ITT) is \n \nGeorgia's lead agency for attracting \n \nnew \n \nbusiness \n \ninvestment, \n \nencouraging the expansion of existing \n \nindustry, locating new markets for \n \nGeorgia products, attracting tourists \n \nto Georgia, promoting the state as a \n \nlocation for film and video projects, \n \nand planning and mobilizing state \n \nresources for economic development. \n \nThe department offers services \n \nthrough 5 major programmatic \n \ndivisions - Economic Development, \n \nInternational Trade, Tourism, \n \nMarketing, and Strategic Planning \n \nand Research. \n \nGEORGIA ALLIES TARGETED MARKETING \nOne of two new divisions created in F.Y. 1998 was a Marketing Division, with a mission modeled after that of Operation Legacy created for the 1996. Olympic Games. Originally called Legacy Marketing, the new name for the cutting-edge marketing partnership which is central to the division is \"Georgia Allies.\" This new name highlights that the partnership will not only build on the past successes of Operation Legacy, but also aims to build focus, communication, and collaboration among economic development actors. \nThe state's partners in this effort currently include 10 businesses with a statewide presence and a stake in the Georgia's growth. The Georgia Allies partnership seeks to leverage the state's resources, branding Georgia's efforts under a singular voice and look. In the first year of this public/private partnership, the private sector raised $700,000 - $100,000 more than the $600,000 required to match the state funding. \nOne key aspect of the efforts of the Georgia Allies and the Marketing Division is the targeting of industry sectors that hold the most promise for Georgia in the 21 51 century. Sectors currently being targeted for recruitment to Georgia are corporate \n \nheadquarters, corporate location firms, research \u0026 development operations, high technology firms and industries, sports businesses, tourism businesses, and traditional industry for rural Georgia. As the state's economic development strategy evolves, these industry targets will be modified to keep the state on the cutting edge of the global economy. \nGeorgia Allies' projects and events are aimed at increasing the awareness of key decision-makers in targeted industries of the value of doing business in Georgia, strengthening existing relationships between top business and government leaders in Georgia, and fostering new relationships with decision-makers in targeted industries. This is achieved through planned events designed to build relationships, focused research projects aimed at building Georgia's capacity in targeted areas, and high level advertising campaigns. \nF.Y. 1999 initiatives include sponsorship and participation in a FORBES premier CEO conference, which will attract over 200 CEO's to Atlanta reaching all target sectors, hosting a Site Location Consultants' Invitational designed to bring senior consultants to Georgia for a PGA Tournament Championship, and funding a MEGA sites analysis aimed at identifying the best sites for the state's largest economic development projects. \nHIGH TECH INDUSTRY BASE DEVELOPMENT \nIn keeping with the theme of targeted economic development, Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 budget launches a 5-year initiative to make Georgia the preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for a rapidly growing industry sector. The Governor's initiative brings together the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the University System with the express goal of making Georgia the preeminent leader in an emerging high technology sector. \n318 \n \nThis initiative represents a \n \nparadigm shift in the state's \n \ndevelopment efforts. Its defming and \n \ncritical component is the development \n \nof the state's most valuable assets - its \n \npeople and the product of their \n \naccumulated knowledge, or in other \n \nwords, intellectual capital and \n \nproperty. At the initiative's core is the \n \ndevelopment and maintenance of the \n \nknowledge and human talent required \n \nto support this new industry. This \n \ninnovative initiative grew out of the \n \ndepartment's new strategic focus \n \nwhich moves a step beyond simply \n \ncreating jobs to the larger goal of \n \nbuilding wealth for Georgians. \n \nGovernor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 \n \nbudget includes $13,625,000 to begin \n \nthe focused research, educational \n \ncapacity building, marketing and \n \ncommercialization effort required for \n \nthis project. Of this budget, \n \n$2,050,000 is recommended for ITT \n \nto carry out the marketing and sales \n \ncomponent of the project. This \n \nincludes $1.9 million in marketing \n \nfunds to carry out a targeted \n \nmarketing campaign aimed at \n \ninfluencing \n \nindustry \n \nstars, \n \nprofessionals in the field, and \n \ncompanies in this industry sector to \n \nconsider relocating to Georgia. This \n \ninitial effort will serve to sew the \n \nseeds of the industry in the state. This \n \nis a necessary complement to the \n \neducational capacity building which \n \nwill prepare Georgians for jobs in the \n \nindustry so that the state can sustain \n \nthe industry over the long-term. In \n \naddition, $150,000 is provided for an \n \nexperienced, senior professional to \n \nrecruit companies and individuals in \n \nthe field. \n \nThe benefits to be gained from \n \nthis substantial investment are far- \n \nreaching. By 2005, this initiative \n \naims to add 2,000 high paying \n \nengineering jobs to Georgia, locate or \n \nsee established 10 key companies \n \nwithin the state, and increase fourfold \n \nthe supply of venture capital available \n \nto fledgling Georgia businesses in this \n \nindustry sector. The project's long- \n \nterm goal is to build a sustainable \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \neconomic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries. \n \nREGIONAL ECONOMIC \n \nDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM \n \nIn FY 1999, ITT initiated a new \n \nprogram of regional community and \n \neconomic development in partnership \n \nwith the Department of Community \n \nAffairs. This program has placed a \n \nteam of four development specialists- \n \ntwo from each department - in each of \n \n11 regions throughout the state. ITT \n \nhas placed one economic \n \ndevelopment representative and one \n \nplanning \n \nand \n \nworkforce \n \nrepresentative in each region. \n \nRecognizing that Georgia's \n \nprimary source of job growth is \n \nexisting industry, the regional \n \neconomic development representative \n \nin each region is charged with \n \nfostering the retention and expansion \n \nof the region's existing business and \n \nindustry by ensuring that the needs of \n \nlocal businesses are met. These \n \nrepresentatives call on existing \n \nindustry to offer information and \n \nassistance in dealing with \n \ngovernment, accessing business \n \nassistance programs, or meeting other \n \nneeds. \n \nIn addition, these \n \nrepresentatives work with local \n \nchambers of commerce, development \n \nauthorities, and other organizations to \n \nincrease the level of awareness of and \n \nparticipation \n \nin \n \neconomic \n \ndevelopment programs within the \n \nlocal community. \n \nThe placement of one planning \n \nand workforce representative in each \n \nregion recognizes the growing \n \nimportance of human capital in \n \ntoday's economy. \n \nThese \n \nrepresentatives are responsible for \n \ncreating regional strategies and goals \n \nfor workforce development, \n \nestablishing regional benchmarks and \n \nevaluating performance, coordinating \n \nstate resources, and other workforce \n \nrelated activities. In addition, these \n \nrepresentatives serve as the primary \n \nlinkage between the regional and \n \ndepartmental strategic planning \n \nprocesses. \n \nThe development efforts of each \n \nregion are guided by a 21 member \n \nRegional Advisory Council, composed of public and private sector leaders from throughout the region. These councils have been charged with coming up with a strategic plan for economic development tailored to the strengths and needs of their region. By the end ofF.Y. 1999, each region of Georgia will have a completed strategic plan, identifying key industry targets and a manageable number of key action points to make the region more attractive to these targets. The 4 regional economic development specialists in each region work to facilitate the strategic planning process of the Regional Advisory Councils. \nA NEW VISION FOR TOURISM MARKETING \nIn F.Y. 1999, the Tourism Division released the results of the 1998 Tourism Marketing Study. The study's findings reflected very favorably on the state's marketing efforts. The study shows that Georgia ranks #2 in the Southeast as a travel destination. Moreover, particular efforts of the department received high ratings for effectiveness. The Georgia on My Mind Travel Guide was cited as an excellent publication, and the Visitors Centers received very favorable reviews from citizens. \nIn addition, the study recommended marketing Georgia's \n \ntourism resources using the 4 main geographic regions of the state: the mountains, coast, heartland, and metropolitan Atlanta. This new marketing strategy will make Georgia's tourism advertisements more meaningful and interesting to potential tourists. \nSeveral recommendations from the study receive funding in the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget. Over $500,000 has been earmarked for the development and. placement of the new advertisements focusing on the four major travel regions of the state discussed above. In addition, a $125,000 In-State Awareness marketing campaign, modeled after a very successful series of ads run in the metro Atlanta area in F.Y. 1998, will focus marketing efforts on one of rural Georgia's best tourist markets Georgia's metropolitan areas. Instead of vacationing out of state, metropolitan Georgians will be encouraged to visit Georgia's many tourist attractions. Finally, a new public-private marketing partnership is established as part of an ongoing effort by the department to increase private sector involvement and leverage the state's resources. \nIn addition, the department has already begun implementing a new strategy for tourism business recruitment and increasing marketing efforts in promising areas identified \n \nBillions in Tourism Economic Implct By Industry Segment -1997 \n \nLodging $2.64B \n319 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \nby the study. The Tourism Division has increased marketing programming in key international markets as well as increasing the focus on important aspects of the domestic travel market, including group travelers and travel media relations. \nGEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY Under the management of the \nGeorgia Ports Authority (GPA), the state's ports have experienced II straight years of continuous growth. Total GPA tonnage for F.Y. 1998 was a record-breaking 11.4 million tons, an increase over last year of 5.10/0. \nThe Port of Savannah is one of the premier container ports in the U.S., offering service to more than 100 countries by more than 50 major steamship lines. Savannah now is the tenth largest container port in the United States and the third largest in the highly competitive South Atlantic market. Container tonnage increased 8.4% in F.Y. 1998, marking the tenth consecutive year of growth for container operations at the Port of Savannah. \nTotal tonnage handled at the Port of Brunswick advanced by 15.3% to over 2.5 million tons. Making significant contributions to Brunswick's continued growth in cargo volume is the port's growing importance as an automotive gateway. Auto activity in F.Y. 1998 increased 19.8% over F.Y. 1997. \nUnder Governor Barnes, the Georgia Ports Authority is preparing to maintain and increase its role as a major U.S. port of call well into the next century. The Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget pushes ahead with the Savannah Harbor Deepening Feasibility Study and Design in search of a plan which both protects the natural environment and cultural resources of the Savannah coastline and ensures the economic benefits to be gained from deepening the harbor. For F.Y. 2000, Governor Barnes recommends $10,800,000 in bonds to complete the feasibility study and design of the Savannah harbor deepening. \n \nThis investment will maximize the impact of the numerous improvements in facilities and general infrastructure made by the authority over the past several years. Some of these include the development of a seventh container berth, the addition of two post-panamax container cranes and two rubber-tired gantries, and the expansion of berthing and warehouse space for general cargo. Today, 80,100 jobs are supported directly or indirectly by Georgia's ports. This represents $1.8 billion in wages. Georgia's ports generate $23 billion in revenue and account for $565 million in state and local taxes each year. \nGEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER \nThe Georgia World Congress Center Authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The GWCC, which opened its doors in 1976, is an international trade show and convention facility legislatively created to encourage economic development and to enhance private enterprise. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget includes $225,000,000 for the \n \nconstruction of the GWCC's Phase IV expansion. This will add 1.3 million square feet to the building, increasing exhibit space by over 420,000 square feet and enabling the GWCC to maintain its position as one of the top 5 convention centers in the nation. This expansion will allow the facility to continue to attract and maintain larger trade shows and to accommodate more meetings and shows simultaneously. \nThis expansion will allow the GWCC to keep up with demand for meeting and exhibit space. No major convention center in the US had a higher occupancy rate than the GWCC in 1998. In 1999 and 2000 exhibit hall bookings have approached and in some cases exceeded the practical maximum. Based on this and other factors, the Phase IV feasibility study indicated that the GWCC could sustain an expansion of up to 700,000 square feet of exhibit space. \nThe projected return on this investment is substantial. The expansion is expected to attract an estimated 500,000 additional out-ofstate visitors, create 19,000 new jobs each year and generate $53 million in new tax revenues. \n \nTotal Upcoming Convention Exhibit Space (present Space Plus Planned Expansions) \n \no \n \n0.5 \n \n1.5 \n \n2 \n \n2.5 \n \nMillions of Square Feet \n \n320 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE \u0026 TOURISM \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nBUSINESS RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND EXPANSION \nPURPOSE: Through marketing and sales, recruit new businesses and work to retain and facilitate the expansion of existing businesses in the state in order to create new jobs and investment in Georgia communities. \n \nGOAL 1: Increase the number of jobs for Georgia communities and citizens by recruiting companies from outside Georgia and encouraging existing industry to expand within the state. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Increase the number ofjobs created by new and expanded businesses in Georgia by 5% to 25,481 over the previous 4-year average of21,576. \n \n25,032 \n \n24,511 \n \n25,481 \n \nI Data is collected on a calendar year basis.

This phase includes over $18 million in operating costs to enhance services at institutions across the state. There is also an additional $18.5 million in bonds recommended in the Amended F.Y. 1999 budget for expansion of the regional youth detention center (RYDC) system as part of the MOA. \n The Governor also recommends completion of the statewide youth development campus (YDC) bed realignment started in F.Y. 1999. When the state implemented the 90-day program in F.Y. 1994, the use of these beds (als9 known as boot-camp or short-term beds) increased dramatically over the next three years. In F.Y. 1998, however, the growth in this short-term program did not occur at the same pace as previous years. This change created a surplus of 90-day beds as the demand for longterm beds continued to grow. \nDJJ will be converting beds from 90-day program slots into long-term use; closing older cottages in need of renovation; eliminating temporary beds created in the past to handle overpopulation; creating special mental health cottages at Bill E. Ireland and Macon YDCs; and establishing a community-based independent cottage colocated near Lorenzo Benn YDC. \nThis bed realignment plan will change the structure of Georgia's juvenile system. At the end of F.Y. 1998, there were 2,854 YDC beds in the state for 2,503 juveniles. The plan reduces the number of beds to 2,605 by the end of F.Y. 1999 to more closely fit the population projection of 2,483. When the new Sumter YDC opens in April 2000, the total YDC bed capacity will be 2,775 for a predicted population of2,626 by the end ofF.Y. 2000. \n \n The Governor's recommendation includes funding to annualize operational costs of new facilities and expansions in the RYDC system. Over $2 million is recommended to annualize the new 125-bed Paulding RYDC which will relieve crowding in the northwest Georgia systems. Also recommended is over $1 million to open three expansions at metropolitan Atlanta RYDCs. Expansions at DeKalb (24 beds), Gwinnett (20 beds), and Marietta (20 bed) RYDCs are scheduled to open in September 1999. This will help relieve an overburdened metropolitan Atlanta RYDC system. \n The Governor recommends using the F.Y. 2000 budget to make permanent the enhancement of the Augusta Boot Camp program into an alcohol and drug prevention unit. In F.Y. 1999, the State received a federal grant to change the focus of the Augusta Boot Camp. It will still keep a paramilitary style, but will be transferred from the Youth Development Campus Division to the Community Programs Division where new programs will be added emphasizing rehabilitation from a dependency on drug and alcohol. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor proposes to add $1.3 million in state funding to make this transition permanent. \n The Governor also recommends several additions to help facilitate the operations of the department including, a new radio system ($488,657) for juvenile probation/parole specialists (JPPS) located in the field. JPPSs must often go into neighborhoods at all hours of the night and the radio system will ensure they have contact in case of emergencies. \n Additionally, it is recommended that DJJ expand the YDCIRYDC transportation network. Six new vehicles will be added to the current fleet of 16. Since the network was established, three additional YDCs have opened expanding the resources needed by this unit. \n \n339 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Juvenile Justice Reserve Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Grants to Co.

Prior to 1992, the department functioned as a division within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose ofDJJ is to:  Provide for the supervlSlon, detention, and \nrehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody; \n Operate and provide assistance for prevention programs; and \n Provide for treatment of juvenile offenders with specialized needs. Aside from internal support services, DJJ carries out its \noperations through three divisions: campus operations, detention services, and community programs. \nCAMPUS OPERATIONS This division manages the youth development \ncampuses (YDC). These institutions hold juveniles for long-term sentences and 90-day boot camps. \nYDCs are state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services. \nIn F.Y. 2000, the division will operate eleven facilities through the department or by private contract. The newest facility set to open in April 2000 in Sumter County will have a strong mental health component for troubled youth. \nThe total bed capacity at the end of the year will be 2,775 beds. Another YDC is planned to open in Muscogee County in F.Y. 2001 bringing the statewide total bed capacity to 2,925. \n \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS This division is responsible for case management of \njuveniles, as well as the development and operation of community-based rehabilitation programs. \nCase management is conducted primarily through court services. This unit provides intake of juveniles, as well as probation services. Court services offices are located throughout the state. \nThe division also operates five group homes: Albany, Augusta, Gainesville, Savannah and Winder. Four homes serve males with the newest one in Augusta serving females. Generally, a group home provides a family environment along with group counseling. \nAttention/contract homes are overseen by the division and are similar to group homes, but serve less than five juveniles. They are scattered throughout the state and situated in either family homes or other appropriate institutional foster care settings. \nAnother responsibility of the division is to manage the contracts for wilderness camps and outdoor therapeutic programs for youths in the department. \nMulti-service centers are also run through the division. The centers consolidate DJJ programs and offer services in the evening hours and weekends. \nFinally, the division runs three non-residential community schools. The goal at these schools is to help youth transition back to a regular academic setting. \nAUTHORITY Titles 15-11, 39-3, and 49-4A, Official Code of \nGeorgia Annotated. \n \nDETENTION SERVICES This division provides for juveniles to be detained in \nregional youth detention centers (RYDq until a court hearing can be held or a permanent placement for the youth is available. \nEven though RYDCs are designed for short-term occupation by a juvenile, a full range of services is available including education, medical, and counseling. Currently, the state operates a network of 21 RYDCs with a total capacity of 1,176 beds. \nDemand across the state for RYDC bed space has increased steadily over the past few years. In response to this, DJJ is building a new 75-bed RYDC in Crisp County as well as expanding the bed capacity at the following RYDCs: DeKalb (24 additional beds); Gwinnett (20); Marietta (20); Augusta (40); Macon (40); Columbus (30); Albany (20); and Thomasville (20). \nThis, along with replacing and expanding the Gainesville RYDC, will give the state an RYDC capacity of 1,546 by the end ofF.Y. 2001. \n \nPercentage of State Funding Toward Juvenile Justice Programs (Recommended F.Y. 2000) \n \nYDCs50% \n \nRYDCs25% \n \n--=~~\"\"\"\"-- \n \nCommunity Programs 25% \n \n345 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Governor's budget recommendation for the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) focuses on expanding the scope of rehabilitative services for delinquent youth in the state's custody through a three-year $65 million plan developed in cooperation with the United States Department of Justice. \nThe F.Y. 2000 budget recommends over $18 million in new operational costs for the second phase of enhancing departmental programs along with $18 million in bonds and grants for new construction. \nThe final phase of this plan will occur in F.Y. 2001 bringing the total new expenditures over three years to $65 million: $44 million in additional funding for increasing operational capacity for the ever-growing juvenile population and $21 million in new construction over the same three years. \nEDUCATIONAL SERVICES DJJ's goal over the next three \nyears is to provide all youth under the department's custody a complete general, vocational, and special education where appropriate. \nIn F.Y. 1999, the department created the Office of Education and held a nationwide search for its director. The new position has oversight of the educational programs at all DJJ facilities, including development and implementation of policies and training programs. \nUnder the director's guidance, DJJ, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education, is developing and implementing a comprehensive curriculum for instruction. \nWith a variety of educational levels entering the juvenile justice system at any given time, the approach to developing a statewide curriculum must be able to tailor an educational plan to fit an individual's needs. \nThe crux of being able to provide appropriate educational services is to accurately determine the educational \n \nlevel of a student quickly upon admission. DJJ has developed a plan to ensure that each youth is tested within 72 hours of admission. \nRegular and vocational education is an important function of the DJJ educational system, but special education classes are also becoming a major need among juveniles. \nApproximately, one out of every five youth admitted to a DJJ facility needs some form of special education. For some, the need may be only one class a day. For others, the need may be much greater. \nIn either situation, the department has added special education teachers to ensure a twelve to one ratio of special education students to special education teachers statewide. \nThe department is also ensuring that all youth eligible for attaining a General Educational Development certificate have access to appropriate materials. \nMENTAL HEATH CARE The mental health care \ncomponent of DJJ's three-year plan is to ensure that all youth within the system receive appropriate mental health care and treatment services. \nAgain, the department showed its intent on enhancing mental health services by creating a separate Office of Mental Health and holding a nationwide search for its director. \nThe director is to establish programs and services required to meet the mental health needs of youths. These children's problems can range from drug and alcohol dependency to sexual or physical abuse histories. \nA key link in the mental health system is a quick and accurate diagnosis of individual problems. DJJ is developing and testing a mental health and suicide risk screening instrument for use in all DJJ facilities. \nIntake screening will be done on each youth admitted into a DJJ facility, usually a regional youth detention center (RYDC), at first. \n \nUpon admittance to a long-term youth development campus (YDC) each youth will receive a complete mental health needs assessment reviewed by a psychologist. \nProtocols are also being developed in this three-year plan for referral of youth with mental health needs. \nOnce a need for mental health treatment is indicated, a treatment plan is developed. In a YDC, this is an extensive plan, but in an RYDC, the needs are balanced with the likely length of the stay of the youth. \nIf a juvenile is identified with severe mental illness that cannot be provided in an RYDC or YDC, then the youth is designated as needing an alternative placement in a forensic psychiatric facility or other setting consistent with the youth's mental health needs. \nWhen developing a mental health treatment plan for a youth in its custody, DJJ takes a holistic approach. \n Plans are individualized;  Psychological issues are \naddressed;  Needed medication is \nidentified;  Planned activities are \ndeveloped;  A behavior management \nplan is undertaken;  Needed counseling is \nprovided;  An analysis of the youth's \ncurrent placement is performed;  Families are brought into the treatment plan; and \n A transition plan is developed for his or her return to the community. \nWhile DJJ's mental health care strategy focuses on rehabilitation of the youth and returning him or her to the community as a better person, the department has also taken the preventative measure to discourage suicides within the juvenile justice system. \n \n346 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE - Strategies And Services \n \nChildren who commit crimes are often emotionally troubled and upon incarceration, react negatively to their situation, frequently with threats of suicide. \nDJJ has developed policies and procedures to identify these youth before the situation turns tragic. Actions include immediate referral to an appropriate mental health professional and development of a suicide prevention plan individualized for the juvenile's particular situation. \n \nMEDICAL CARE \n \nThe department will ensure, \n \nthrough the three-year plan, that \n \nadequate medical care is provided to \n \nall state juveniles. \n \nAn extensive part of the \n \ndepartment's medical plan includes a \n \nsystem for proper screening and a \n \nphysical upon admission. Along with \n \nthat, DJJ provides all youths with \n \naccess to physicians for medical care. \n \nThe department's health \n \nappraisal for youth entering the \n \nsystem is to evaluate the health status \n \nof the juvenile to determine medical \n \ntreatment needs and appropriate \n \nmedial classification and restrictions. \n \nMedical care consists not only of \n \nscreening, but also of a \n \ncomprehensive effort throughout the \n \nDJJ system. It includes: \n \n Dental care, including \n \ntreatment to prevent loss \n \nalong with cleaning services; \n \n Timely access to appropriate \n \nmedical specialists and \n \nhospitalization \n \nwhen \n \nindicated; and \n \n Twenty-four-hour infirmary \n \nservices as appropriate. \n \nAnother important part of \n \nproviding medical care is accurate \n \nmedical records. DJJ has developed a \n \nplan to assure that a youth, when \n \nleaving a facility, is accompanied by a \n \ncomplete summary of his or her \n \nmedical history. \n \nPHYSICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC CAPACITY \nDJJ has also developed a threeyear plan to address the direct care \n \nstaffing needs of the state's juvenile \n \njustice system. \n \nDirect care staff primarily consist \n \nof juvenile correctional officers and \n \ncottage life supervisors. These staff \n \nprotect youth from harm and provide \n \nsecurity for the facility. \n \nThe department has taken steps \n \nto provide extensive training for the \n \ndirect care staff. DJJ has also \n \nestablished \n \nstandards \n \nfor \n \nemployment. \n \nWhile strengthening the quality \n \nof the direct care staff, the department \n \nis also initiating development of \n \ndetention standards based on a risk \n \nassessment instrument. \n \nThis \n \ninstrument will evaluate youth for \n \nplacement in alternative detention \n \nprograms being developed by DJJ. \n \nThe risk assessment instrument \n \nwill identify youth who may not be \n \nlegally held in secure detention \n \nfacilities; youth whose risk factors \n \nmake use of non-secure detention \n \nalternatives appropriate; and youth \n \nwhose risk factors make secure \n \ndetention mandatory. \n \nThose youth not needing secure \n \ndetention will be placed in the \n \ncontinuum of alternative placements \n \nto RYDCs to be developed as part of \n \nthe three-year plan. \n \nPROTECTION FROM HARM DJJ has a dual protectionary \nfunction. On one hand, they incarcerate youth to prevent them from harming members of the general public. On the other hand, DJJ is protecting youth from harmful outside agents and abuse. \nThe beginning of youth protection starts with their classification and room assignment upon entering an RYDC or YDC. \nThe age, size, and demeanor of youth entering the juvenile justice system vary greatly. Often juveniles cannot be housed together or even in close proximity. DJJ assigns rooms based on concerns such as these. \nIncarcerated youth are also visually checked by line staff multiple times during an hour. State YDCs have monitoring systems in place to ensure this occurs. \n347 \n \nThe department has also \n \nexpanded the protocols protecting \n \nyouth from excessive use of force by \n \nstaff. \n \nOften, juveniles act \n \naggressively and need restraints. \n \nDepartment policy requires restraints \n \nto be used only when necessary with \n \nperiodic assessments for continuing \n \nusage. \n \nUpon entering an RYDC or \n \nYDC, juveniles are given an \n \norientation of the facility and its \n \nparticular protocols. \n \nQUALITY ASSURANCE \n \nTo ensure juveniles within the \n \nstate's custody are not harmed, DJJ \n \nestablished the Office of Quality \n \nAssurance. A nationwide search was \n \nconducted for it's director and it's \n \nassistant director in charge of \n \ninvestigations. \n \nThe Office of Quality Assurance \n \nhas two main units. One unit consists \n \nof staff to investigate allegations of \n \nchild abuse in institutional settings. \n \nThis unit will work periodically with \n \nthe Georgia Bureau of Investigation \n \nto maintain the quality of its \n \ninvestigative staff. \n \nThe other half of the Office of \n \nQuality Assurance consists of \n \nauditors who regularly visit each \n \nYDC and RYDC to make sure all \n \ndepartmental policies and protocols \n \nare being strictly followed. They will \n \nalso make unannounced visits. These \n \naudits will include: \n \n Inspection of institutional, \n \nmedical, and educational \n \nrecords, unit logs, incident \n \nreports, use of force reports, \n \nmajor disciplinary reports, \n \ndocumentation of room \n \nchecks by line staff, etc.; \n \n Interviews with staff, \n \nadministrators, and youths at \n \neach facility; \n \n Where \n \nappropriate, \n \ninterviews with the parents \n \nor other care givers of youth \n \nconfined in state institutions; \n \nand \n \n Interviews with officials \n \nhaving regular contact with \n \nfacilities or residents. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nCOMMUNITY-BASED JUVENILE OFFENDER PROGRAMS \n \nPURPOSE: To assist juvenile offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens through community-based programs and services. \n \nGOAL 1: Juvenile offenders will become law-abiding citizens. \nDESIRED RESULT la: Forty percent of committed youth discharged from a community program in F.Y. 1997 will not be recommitted to the state's juvenile or adult correctional systems between release and the three-year period ending F.Y. 2000.

JGG is a school-to-work transition program designed to help \"at-risk\" youth enter the workplace, the military, or continue their education after high school. Currently, JGG operates as a 2-year program at 17 high schools in 9 counties, serving 90 youth (45 seniors and 45 prior-year graduates) per site. The F.Y. 1999 program budget for JGG is $958,879, with $10,000 of this amount provided by the state. The F.Y. 1999 amended budget includes $250,000 to allow the department to seek assistance in restructuring the goals, target population and desired outcomes of JGG. An additional $590,000 in state funs in F.Y. 2000 will allow the department to implement the restructured 5-year program in the 17 current JGG sites. By extending its \"employability skills services,\" work experience, and intervention efforts to students in grades 9 through 11, the program will more effectively reach \"atrisk\" youth who might otherwise drop out of school before their senior year. In the future, the department should expand the program to new sites by working with local organizations and using school-to-work funding where JGG is part of the local plan. \n \n $297,655 in state funds to add 5 pOSitIOns to the Unemployment Insurance Division. The department is responsible for administering the state's Unemployment Insurance program, which provides monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period of time. If there is a dispute over an individual's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits, the department conducts hearings to resolve the matter. The department currently employs 20 officers who conduct approximately 25,000 hearings per year. Because federal funds have not kept pace with the increasing workload, the department has relied increasingly upon telephone hearings, rather than in-person hearings, to resolve unemployment insurance disputes. This has limited both the number and timeliness of in-person hearings, causing concern among Georgia businesses. The addition of these positions will allow the department to provide improved service to Georgia's employers, more timely and higher quality hearings, and more flexibility in determining where hearings will be held. \n \nF.Y. 2000 Funding Sources \nFederal Funds 79% \n \nState General Funds 1% \n \nCollected Funds 13% \n351 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Payments to the State Treasury lTPA Contracts \nTotal Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds Governor's Emergency Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \nF.Y.1997 Expenditures \n77,997,719 7,666,914 1,223,877 29,398 522,075 1,765,839 5,014,534 \n10,051,182 1,473,722 35,000 1,774,079 \n42,122,367 \n149,676,706 \n125,505,172 4,649,346 \n130,154,518 \n19,522,188 \n1,920 11 \n \nF.Y.1998 Expenditures \n82,108,466 9,683,443 1,422,473 \n14,187 857,875 1,998,831 7,477,126 7,302,783 1,520,228 368,800 1,774,079 55,530,645 \n170,058,936 \n \nF.Y.1999 Current Budget \n76,535,323 6,870,433 1,330,000 \n464,000 2,017,900 5,179,867 3,198,000 1,465,339 \n1,774,079 54,500,000 \n153,334,941 \n \nF.Y. 2000 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection \n \nLevel \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n78,543,965 6,560,440 1,330,000 \n \n1,012,636 62,759 104,375 \n \n79,556,601 6,623,199 1,434,375 \n \n405,738 1,920,544 5,332,476 2,100,000 1,742,379 \n \n9,629 5,400 57,000 88,503 30,983 \n \n415,367 1,925,944 5,389,476 2,188,503 1,773,362 \n \n1,287,478 54,500,000 \n153,723,020 \n \n1,371,285 \n \n1,287,478 54,500,000 \n155,094,305 \n \n144,652,183 4,905,755 \n149,557,938 20,500,998 \n1,970 13 \n \n122,908,772 9,425,115 \n132,333,887 21,001,054 \n1,970 13 \n \n122,334,202 10,470,125 \n132,804,327 20,918,693 \n1,970 13 \n \n122,334,202 10,470,125 \n \n1,371,285 25 \n \n132,804,327 22,289,978 \n1,995 13 \n \n352 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y. 2000 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Payments to the State Treasury lTPA Contracts \nTotal Funds \n \nAdjusted Base \n78,546,120 6,560,440 1,330,000 \n405,738 1,920,544 5,335,263 2,100,000 1,742,379 \n1,287,478 54,500,000 \n153,727,962 \n \nRedirection Level \n \nFunds To Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \n(21,924) \n \n(2,787) \n \n(24,711) \n \nRedirection Totals \n78,524,196 6,560,440 1,330,000 \n405,738 1,920,544 5,332,476 2,100,000 1,742,379 \n1,287,478 54,500,000 \n153,703,251 \n \nEnhancements 664,998 19,932 89,181 \n7,647 0 \n10,131 79,103 16,663 \n887,655 \n \nTotals \n79,189,194 6,580,372 1,419,181 \n413,385 1,920,544 5,342,607 2,179,103 1,759,042 \n1,287,478 54,500,000 \n154,590,906 \n \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds Governor's Emergency Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \n122,334,202 10,470,125 \n132,804,327 20,923,635 \n1,970 13 \n \n(24,711) \n \n122,334,202 10,470,125 \n132,804,327 20,898,924 \n1,970 13 \n \n887,655 22 \n \n122,334,202 10,470,125 \n132,804,327 21,786,579 \n1,992 13 \n \nRECOMMENDED APPROPRIATION: The Department of Labor is the budget unit for which the following State Fund Appropriation is recommended for F.Y. 2000: $21,786,579. \n \n353 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nF.Y. 2000 Budget Summary \n \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET \nF.Y. 1999 STATE APPROPRIATIONS 1.

The department, through its programs and wide spectrum of services, plays an important role in the development of the state's workforce. The department's major areas of responsibility are providing training, services, protection, and information. \nTRAINING In a joint partnership with businesses and other \ncommunity leaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged youth and adults, older workers, summer youth, and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in the state. Through the Georgia Job Training Partnership program, authorized and funded under the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the department's responsibilities include: \n Administering over $62 million in federal funds annually as grants and contracts. \n Issuing regulations and monitoring programs to ensure operations in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. \n Providing technical assistance and training to local staff to improve program administration. \n Approving local job training plans.  Managing a performance standards system and tracking local operations against federal standards to determine areas of excellence, award of incentive funds and the need to assist or sanction local programs. During F.Y. 1998, approximately 31,339 Georgians participated in 1 or more of JTPA programs. The partnership is directed locally in each of the state's 16 service delivery areas by a private industry council that participates in the unified planning process and oversees implementation of the planning function. The councils make basic program decisions regarding what job training is needed in an area. \nSERVICES The department reduces the adverse impact of \nunemployment by providing monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period and by assisting employers in minimizing their unemployment insurance tax liability. During F.Y. 1998, 328,733 unemployment claims were filed with the department. The department also provides federally-funded supplemental benefits to unemployed job seekers who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits. \nOne of the department's primary responsibilities is the \n \nadministration of the public employment service in the state through a statewide network of 53 offices. The department provides an array of services, which include: \n Referral of qualified applicants to employers who have listed job openings. \n Counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs. \n Referral to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care, and supportive services. \nA total of 73,257 applicants received employment or vocational counseling in F.Y. 1998. The department also provides basic readjustment services for \"dislocated workers\" whose job losses resulted from changing technology or other economic conditions. These services include assessment, counseling, testing, and job search and relocation assistance. Additionally, the department serves 1,530 at-risk youth at 17 program sites located in 10 school systems across the state through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program; provides employment service to disabled individuals who register for the service; and provides placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers and Armed Forces veterans who are making the adjustment from military to civilian life. \nPROTECTION The department has responsibility for administering \nGeorgia laws regulating the employment of children and regulatory responsibility for equipment, such as amusement and carnival rides, elevators, escalators, safety glass, high voltage apparatus, boilers, and pressure vessels. The department processed 54,797 work permits for students during F.Y. 1998, and the Safety Engineering staff performed a total of 21,385 safety inspections of elevators, boilers, and amusement rides. \nINFORMATION Compiling and disseminating labor market information \nis a primary responsibility of the department. Available information includes data on employment, worker availability, wages, and historic projected trends. Several of the statistical series published by the department, such as Georgia Labor Market Trends and Area Labor Profiles, serve as key indicators of the state's economic health. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 34, 39 and 46 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n355 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nStrategies and Services \n \nWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COLLABORAnON \nIn August 1997, the commissioners of the Departments of Labor, Technical and Adult Education, and Human Resources signed a Memorandum of Understanding to reduce program redundancies and to streamline the delivery of each agency's services. This partnership has allowed each agency to build upon its strengths, while providing improved customer service. \nAn interagency team, known as Team:WORK, has been charged with developing and implementing this new service delivery system. Since the Memorandum of Understanding was signed, Team:WORK and the 9 implementation teams have developed collaborative goals for several service strategies: \n Implementation of a common client intake system; \n Creation of a common client assessment system; \n Case management coordination; \n Establishment of mutually accepted work-readiness criteria; \n Provision of quality education and training; \n Coordination of job development and placement activities; \n Utilization of employer input and need; \n Linkage of agency computer systems for data sharing; and \n Provision of staff training and development. \nEach of the 9 implementation teams has a sponsor who is a member of Team:WORK and who provides guidance and support to the team. The membership of the 9 implementation teams is comprised of state and local representatives from each of the 3 departments involved in this collaborative effort. Each agency has designated a project manager to assure interagency cooperation. An executive assistant prepares a collaborative newsletter and keeps the \n \nproject on track. Dedicated staff from each of the 3 agencies have been selected for training and automation of the initiative. \n \nWORKFORCE INVESTMENT \n \nACT \n \nNew federal legislation signed \n \ninto law in August 1998 will have a \n \nprofound impact on how the \n \nDepartment of Labor provides \n \nworkforce \n \npreparation \n \nand \n \nemployment services to Georgia's \n \ncitizens. The Workforce Investment \n \nAct of 1998 is designed to replace the \n \nJob Training Partnership Act, which \n \nhas been repealed effective July I, \n \n2000. \n \nThe purpose of the act is to \n \nprovide workforce investment \n \nactivities that increase employment, \n \nretention and earnings of participants, \n \nimprove the quality of America's \n \nworkforce, \n \nreduce \n \nwelfare \n \ndependency, and enhance worker \n \nproductivity. The act is based upon 3 \n \nbroad principles: \n \n Job training and employment \n \nprograms should be designed and \n \nmanaged at the local level; \n \n The programs should be \n \ncustomer-focused; and  The programs should include \naccountability measures to ensure quality service delivery. \nThe act requires the Governor to establish a State Workforce Investment Board, consisting of the Governor, two members of each chamber of the Legislature, local elected officials, labor organization representatives, state agency officials, and a majority of representatives from the state's business community. However, the act also contains a provision allowing the Governor to utilize an existing board or commission that was established prior to December 31, 1997, or that is substantially similar to that specified by the act. The State Workforce Investment Board is charged with the task of helping the Governor develop a 5-year strategic plan describing the state's proposed workforce development activities. \nThe Governor must also designate local workforce investment areas within the state, and certifY local workforce investment boards. The structure of the local boards is similar to that of the statewide board, \n \nFUNDING MECHANISM FOR THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT OF 1998 \n \nI Resa\\Wf\u003cr \nSecretary of --+ \n \nYlo \n \nI...alxr \n~ Chrts, \n \nUslOOlted Wakfrs \n \n00nn;Iraticn;, \n \ntech assistan:e) ~';;R \n \n(JJ% \n \nf \n \n15% \n \n25% \n \nMilts BSOIo \n \n] \nYOlth BSOIo \n \nAlIOOierl to Local \nArea; \n \n15% \n \nI \n \n15% Excess \n \nStte\\\\ire Activities \nt - Set-Mire Secretary ofI...alxr \n \nIIRY Ire furrl; CJ\\Ier \n \n$1 billicn fa' YOlth \n \nCWrttrity Gants \n \n356 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies And Services \n \nin that a majority of the members are \n \nto be representatives of local \n \nbusinesses. The local boards develop \n \nand submit local 5-year workforce \n \ninvestment plans to the Governor, \n \nselect \"One-Stop\" operators to \n \nprovide service to local clients, \n \nadminister and disburse local grants, \n \nand establish local performance \n \nstandards. Finally, Youth Councils \n \nwill be established as subgroups to \n \nthe local boards to develop plans and \n \nprocedures for service delivery to \n \nyouth. \n \nFunding for the Workforce \n \nInvestment Act will be provided to \n \nlocal areas via 3 funding \"streams\": \n \nadults, dislocated workers, and youth. \n \nWhile the majority of funds will be \n \nallocated to local areas, 15% of each \n \nstream will be reserved for statewide \n \nactivities. If desired, the state may \n \nmerge the 3 15% set-asides to provide \n \nfunding for activities that are deemed \n \nstatewide workforce development \n \npriorities, regardless of their target \n \ngroup. \n \nFor adults and dislocated \n \nworkers, the act authorizes \"core\" \n \nservices (including job search and \n \nplacement assistance, labor market \n \ninformation, skills and needs \n \nassessments, information about \n \navailable services, and some follow- \n \nup assistance) and \"intensive\" \n \nservices (including more compre- \n \nhensive skills and needs assessments, \n \ndevelopment of individual employ- \n \nment plans, group and individual \n \ncounseling, case management, and \n \nshort-term pre-vocational services). \n \nFor customers who are unable to \n \nlocate employment after receiving \n \nintensive services, the act provides for \n \noccupational skills training, on-the- \n \njob training, job readiness training, \n \nand adult education and literacy \n \nactivities. \n \nFor younger clients, funding will \n \nbe provided to prepare youth for \n \npostsecondary education or \n \nemployment by linking academic and \n \noccupational learning. \n \nYouth \n \nprograms will also include tutoring, \n \nstudy skills, alternative school \n \nservices, mentoring, paid and unpaid \n \nwork opportunities, leadership \n \ndevelopment and supportive services, guidance and counseling. Youth participants are to receive at least I year of follow-up services. \nIn Georgia, the interagency collaborative is designing the workforce investment system envisioned in this law. Service delivery to adult job seekers and youth, as well as to employers, will require an integrated strategy involving staff from vocational rehabilitation, public assistance, postsecondary education, and employment and training programs. Local boards will determine how the full array of services will be delivered to customers in their communities. \n \nJOBS FOR GEORGIA \n \nGRADUATES \n \nJobs for Georgia Graduates \n \n(JGG) was started in 1987 as a pilot \n \nschool-to-work transition project to \n \nhelp \"at-risk\" youth enter the \n \nworkplace, the military, or continue \n \ntheir education after high school. \n \nCurrently, JGG operates at 17 high \n \nschools in 9 counties, serving 90 \n \nyouth per site. Each year, 45 seniors \n \nreceive special \"employability skills \n \nservices\" and work experience, while \n \n45 prior-year graduates receive \n \nintensive follow-up services. \n \nIn August of 1998, the Office of \n \nPlanning and Budget completed a \n \nprogram evaluation of JGG, and \n \nrecommended that the department \n \nrevisit the program's design and \n \nselection criteria, as well as its \n \nexisting purpose, goals and desired \n \nresults. \n \nIn particular, these \n \nrecommendations centered on the \n \nprogram's targeting of high school \n \nseniors, and its use of self-selection \n \ncriteria. Because most dropouts occur \n \nwithin the first 2 years of high school, \n \nJGG was unable to reach the youth \n \nwho could benefit most from its \n \nservices. As a result, the seniors who \n \nwere ultimately selected for the \n \nprogram were already well on their \n \nway to employment or further \n \nschooling, simply by virtue of the fact \n \nthat they had stayed in school. \n \nThe department and its newly- \n \nelected commissioner have shown a \n \n357 \n \ngreat deal of interest in restructuring this program to better address the needs of Georgia's at-risk youth. The Governor's F.Y. 1999 amended budget includes $250,000 in contract funding to allow the department to seek assistance in restructuring JGG by revising the program's goals, target population, and desired outcomes. Additionally, this money will be used to identify the high schools with the most \"at-risk\" students (and thus most in need of the program), provide staff training, develop an effective means of evaluating the program on an annual basis, and coordinate the program with other programs such as schoolto-work, youth apprenticeships, and mentoring. \nThe F.Y. 2000 budget adds $590,000 in state funds to allow the department to implement a restructured 5-year program the 17 current JGG sites, bringing total state investment in this program to $600,000. In the future, the department should expand JGG by working with local organizations using school-to-work funding where JGG is part of the local plan. \nCHILD LABOR ENFORCEMENT The Department of Labor is also \ncharged with enforcing the state's laws protecting young workers. The Child Labor Enforcement program currently operates in a reactive mode, responding to complaints or existing violations, rather than in a more proactive-and preventive-mode. While the Governor's F.Y. 2000 budget accepts the department's proposed 5% reduction of the Child Labor Enforcement program budget, the Governor recommends that the department investigate alternatives that would implement this program in a more proactive manner, emphasizing employer and youth education, voluntary compliance, and random inspections, in order to prevent violations from occurring. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT \n \nPURPOSE: To assist individuals with employment preparation and training, to match eligible job seekers with available positions, and to provide employers with training and employment-related services. \n \nGOAL I: Job seekers will be matched with appropriate employers and job openings. \nDESIRED RESULT la: The number of job seekers who find employment following job preparation services will increase by 5% from 129,788 in F.Y. 1999 to 136,277 in F.Y. 2000. \n \nDesired Result la: Job Seekers Finding Employment \n \n140,000 135,000 \n \n136,277 .... \n \n130,000 \n \n125,000 \n \n120,000 \n \n115,000-l--~IlJlllIlllIl~-~~_-Ml_rr \n \nFY 98 \n \nFY99 \n \nFYOO \n \nActual Desired Desired \n \n1 Baseline data for employer satisfaction is from the F.Y. 1996 Employer Satisfaction Revitalization Project conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor.

The Attorney General is the chief legal officer of the state and is a constitutional officer elected to a 4-year term in the same general election as the Governor. \n \nThe Attorney General and his staff are authorized to prosecute civil and criminal actions to recover loss, damage or injury to the state. \nThe Department also operates the State Law Library, a non-circulating law and legislative reference library for use by state government personnel and the general public. \n \nDUTIES The Department of Law represents the state in civil and \ncriminal actions, in all capital felony actions before the Georgia Supreme Court, in all actions before the United States Supreme Court, and in all actions against a district attorney. It is the duty of the Attorney General to provide opinions on any question of law involving the interests of the state or duties of any department. \nThe Department of Law also prepares and reviews contracts and other legal documents in which the state is interested and drafts proposed legislation or rules and regulations for state agencies. The Department investigates the conduct of state agencies, officials, or employees, and firms or corporations for violations in their dealings with the state. \n \nDEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the Department is organized \ninto a Department head's office, a counsel to the Attorney General and special prosecution section, five law practicing divisions and an operations division. The five law practicing divisions provide a full range of legal services to designated state departments, authorities and agencies. The Law Department is reimbursed by the state agencies for litigation expenses incurred, such as court costs, witness fees, filing costs and reporting costs. \nAUTHORITY Title 5, Section 3, Paragraph 1, Georgia Constitution; \nTitle 45, Chapter 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n369 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Law provides a full range of legal services in its role as the attorney for state agencies, officials, and employees in the executive branch of government. The department's 100 attorneys respond to requests for legal assistance and representation in administrative hearings, state or federal court litigation, review of contracts and other legal documents, the acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters, and legal advice or opinions. \nDuring F.Y. 1998, the department received over 10,700 requests for its legal services and advice. The department's attorneys do not handle the entire workload due to the volume, but also because there are instances where a case requires certain expertise or where a conflict of interest may exist. To help meet its legal obligations in a timely fashion, the department retains private attorneys, Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs), when necessary. The department contracted with 380 SAAGs at a cost of $16.3 million in F.Y. 1997 and with 373 SAAGs for $19.3 million in F.Y. 1998. \n \nAbout 50% of the total fees and expenses paid to SAAGs are incurred for legal work done on behalf of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Human Resources. \nCONSUMER PROTECTION One of the Attorney General's \npriorities is combating consumer fraud with criminal prosecution. The elderly in Georgia and the nation are particularly vulnerable to these criminal schemes, and criminal prosecution and jail time has been demonstrated to be effective in stemming this activity. The special Prosecution Unit successfully prosecuted a criminal telemarketer who targeted elderly victims nationwide. During the coming fiscal year, the department will be active in protecting the consumer in Georgia, and will continue to become more involved in numerous multi-state consumer law initiatives, such as the national tobacco settlement. \nEMPLOYEE FRAUD The department handled one of \nthe largest criminal prosecutions in its \n \nhistory in the case of 2 professors at the Medical College of Georgia. The department conducted an extensive investigation into allegations of research misconduct on the part of the 2 professors. The results of the investigation concluded that the Medical College had suffered losses of research revenues in excess of $11 million dollars. In addition, the case has raised serious questions about the clinical trials process and the protection of patients involved in such trials. \nThe department's efforts have been successful so far and led to a guilty plea by one of the accused professors. The guilty plea resulted in a fine and a 5-year prison sentence. As part of the settlement, the sentenced. professor forfeited $1,100,000 in assets to the state. The state also received a $1 million settlement with its primary fidelity bond provider and is in litigation with a secondary provider where the claim is approximately $9 million. \n \nDepartment of Law Attorney - Length of Service \n \n3-5 years 9% \n \n6-10 years 9% 8 \n \n11-15 years 9% 8 \n \n16-20 years 7% 6 \nover 20 years 15% 14 \n \nUnder 3 years 51% 49 \n370 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nLEGAL SERVICES \nPURPOSE: Protect the interests of the state and its citizens by providing legal services and legal representation to the executive branch of state government. \n \nGOAL 1: The legal representation of the state, including cases, transactions, and opinions, will be handled in an efficient manner. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Increase the number of cases, administrative hearings and potential litigation matters that are completed from 5,600 in F.Y. 1999 to 5,613 in F.Y. 2000.

In F.Y. 1998, Medicaid covered one in six Georgians, or approximately 17% of the state's population. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 2000 recommendation represents a 1.1% increase over F.Y. 1999. The Governor's recommendation includes cost containment measures while allowing for cost increases to certain providers. Highlights of the Governor's recommendation are as follows: \nCost Containment Measures  $19,910,000 in state fund savings resulting from increased fraud and abuse efforts. The Governor's recommendation reflects the efforts of the department's newly created 50 person fraud and abuse unit. \n $7,964,000 in state fund savings by enhancing the department's ability to identify Medicaid eligible individuals who may have other forms of insurance. \n \n $4,900,000 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates to physicians and physician related providers. The Governor's recommendation would increase the basis for reimbursement from 87% to 90% of the 1997 Resource Based Relative Value Scale. \n \n $3,609,329 in state funds to annualize the F.Y. 1999 \n \nnursing home rate increase. \n \nThe Governor's \n \nrecommendation maintains the DR! minus 1% inflation \n \nfactor as the growth factor applied to the 1996 cost reports. \n \nHealth Policy Issues \n $1,598,532 in state funds to implement a Nurse Call program for all Medicaid recipients. The Governor's recommendation includes $5,534,980 in state fund savings anticipated from reduced emergency room utilization as a result of the program. \n \n $700,323 in state funds to expand the Independent Care Waiver program by 30 slots. \n \n $4,778,400 in state fund savings from the incorporation of service utilization controls in Community Mental Health Centers. \n $2,996,021 in state fund savings resulting from the equalization of hospital-based and free-standing nursing home reimbursement rates. \nProvider Rate Increases  $21,466,428 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates for nursing home providers by updating cost reports from 1996 to 1998. In addition, the Governor's recommendation includes 6.2% in DR! inflation to update 1998 costs to 2000. \n \n $250,000 in state funds to implement a retrospective drug utilization review. The Governor's recommendation includes $796,400 in state fund savings anticipated from the new program. \n \n $4,296,529 in state fund savings from a departmental policy change requiring nursing home residents who enter hospice status to continue to share in the cost of their care. \n \n $995,500 in state fund savings resulting from a reduction \n \nin the asset transfer amount used to determine Medicaid \n \neligibility in nursing homes. \n \nThe Governor's \n \nrecommendation reduces the asset limit from $82,760 to \n \n$50,000. \n \n $4,654,574 in state funds to increase intensity factors for nursing home providers.

The mission of the department is to provide prompt access to quality health care in the most appropriate setting. \nMedicaid is funded by state and federal dollars. The federal government pays the largest share of Medicaid costs. Georgia's Medicaid program receives various levels of federal reimbursement for different services and functions. For example, the federal government pays 90% of the cost of family planning services and 61 % for most other benefits. Computer costs are 75% federally funded, and most other administrative costs receive 50% federal funding. \nADMINISTRATION Administrative costs represent less than 3% of total \nexpenditures. Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is the fiscal agent for the Georgia Medicaid program. While DMA is responsible for administering the Medicaid program, EDS processes claims and maintains reporting systems. Through EDS, the department processed over 45.6 million claims in F.Y.1998. \nThe department works to ensure accurate and appropriate payment for services using a claims processing system with an intricate series of computer edits and audits. Program integrity and compliance with state and federal regulations are monitored through reviews, audits, and investigations. When overpayments are identified, the department makes collections. Other measures such as precertification and prior approval have been instituted to prevent payment for services that are not appropriate or medically necessary. In F.Y. 1998, collections and measurable cost avoidance saved over $970 million. \nThe national trend in state Medicaid agencies is for contracting and capitation for services. This allows these agencies to control expenditures and to more accurately project budgets. DMA intends to seek ways in which it can enter into contracts for services wherever possible to contain costs. \nMedicaid coverage is available for certain people based on eligibility requirements, such as income, resources or assets, as specified by law. Some categories of eligibility are mandated by the federal government while others are optional. The department contracts with the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) to determine eligibility. DMA works with DHR's Division of Family and Children Services to ensure that eligibility determinations are accurate. Georgia maintains an error rate below the federal tolerance level of 3%. \n \nstate's Medicaid program. In F.Y. 1998, the department paid for health care services to 1.23 million individuals, at a cost of $3.03 billion. A broad array of services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program. Reimbursement for physician, pharmacy, hospital and nursing facility services account for almost 80% of benefit expenditures. \nMedicaid pays for inpatient hospital services when services cannot be provided on an outpatient basis. Most inpatient hospital stays must be certified prior to admission. Services are reimbursed based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG). Reimbursement for outpatient hospital services is based primarily on reasonable costs. Hospital reimbursement accounted for approximately 32% of benefit expenditures last year. \nMedicaid pays for care in institutional settings for recipients who are unable to remain at home or in the community. Nursing facility services are reimbursed using per diem rates calculated from standardized cost reports. Certification is required prior to admission to determine the level of care needed by the recipient. The department contracts with the Georgia Medical Care Foundation to perform this function. Reimbursement for nursing facility services accounted for approximately 24% of benefit expenditures last year. \nMedicaid pays for services provided by licensed physicians. More than 73% of recipients visited physicians last year. The department uses a statewide maximum allowable fee schedule for physician services. Physician services account for close to 12% of benefit expenditures. \nDrugs requiring a prescription, insulin, diabetic supplies and certain nonprescription drugs are covered by Medicaid. A few drugs require prior approval. The department contracts with the First Health Services Incorporated to review and process requests for prior approval. Reimbursement for drugs accounted for almost 12% of benefit expenditures in F.Y. 1998. \nA variety of other services accounted for 20% of benefit expenditures. Among the services in this category are health check screenings for children under 21, dental services, mental health services, transportation, home health, and laboratory services. \nAUTHORITY Title XIX of the Social Security Act; Title 49-4, \nOfficial Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \nBENEFITS Making health care available and accessible to \nmedically indigent Georgians is the primary focus of the \n \n379 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nStrategies and Services \n \nIn F.Y. 1999, it is projected that Medicaid will pay for health care services provided to 1.24 million individuals. Payments for services are projected to total $3.2 billion or approximately $2,606 per recipient. Since F.Y. 1982, the number of recipients has risen 183%, largely due to eligibility expansions mandated by the federal government. However, F.Y. 1998 represented the first time that the number of Medicaid recipients declined since F.Y. 1982, declining 0.5%. \nWhile the Medicaid program was experiencing 10% to 15% annual increases in benefit projections during the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the state is now seeing a slowdown in the rate of growth in benefits. In fact, in F.Y. 1996, per recipient costs decreased for the first time this decade by 1.14%. With redirection and cost containment, the F.Y. 1999 budget reflected a 4.0% increase over the F.Y. 1998. The Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 represents a 1.1% increase over F.Y. 1999. \nThe department has been able to control costs through aggressive management programs and a sharpened focus on cost containment. The Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 incorporates additional cost containment measures while also expanding access to health care for children. \nPEACHCARE FOR KIDS In March 1998, the Georgia \nGeneral Assembly passed the PeachCare for Kids Act to take advantage of the Children's Health Insurance Program created under the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997. \nThe Department of Medical Assistance, the agency responsible for administering the PeachCare program, began a pilot in the Macon area in September 1998. The PeachCare program was implemented statewide in January 1999. \nEligibility for the PeachCare program is limited to uninsured \n \nchildren, birth to age 18, in families \n \nwith incomes up to 200% of the \n \nFederal Poverty Level. \n \nThe \n \ndepartment estimates that almost \n \n124,000 children will be eligible for \n \nthe PeachCare program. \n \nUnder the PeachCare program, \n \nfamilies with eligible children are \n \nrequired to pay a monthly premium of \n \n$7.50 per child over 6, with a \n \nmaximum of $15 for two or more \n \nchildren. \n \nUnder the PeachCare program, \n \nbenefits are similar to those offered \n \nthrough the Medicaid program. \n \nHowever, the PeachCare for Kids Act \n \nspecifically excluded Non-Emergency \n \nTransportation and Target Case \n \nManagement from coverage. \n \nFRAUD AND ABUSE The General Accounting Office \nhas estimated that the cost of healthcare fraud and abuse approaches 10% of all health expenditures. In Georgia, such assumptions would result in an estimated $300 million in Medicaid fraud and abuse each year. \nIn F.Y. 1999 the department received funding to create a fifty person fraud and abuse unit. The new unit was created to enhance the department's ability to proactively target provider reimbursement practices and the potential to \"game\" Medicaid reimbursement due to loopholes in program policy. \nThe Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 2000 reflects an additional $19.9 million in state fund ($50.0 million total fund) savings from the increased fraud and abuse efforts of the newly created unit. \n \nLONG TERM CARE SERVICES \n \nGeorgia's Medicaid program \n \nspends almost $800 million each year \n \nto provide long term care services to \n \nMedicaid eligible Georgians. Nearly \n \n88% of these expenditures are for the \n \nmore costly nursing home \n \nplacements. \n \nRecognizing the \n \nsignificant costs associated with \n \nnursing home placements, coupled \n \nwith an aging population, the department began studying the feasibility of implementing a system of long term health care. In F.Y. 1997, the department began examining acuity based nursing home reimbursement models that would provide a financial incentive to treat sicker individuals. In F.Y. 1998 the department began working closely with nursing homes to implement a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment tool to uniformly evaluate each Medicaid nursing home recipient. The department anticipates an MDS system to be in place by the end of F.Y. 2000. The MDS system will be used to determine each Medicaid eligible nursing home resident's health care needs. These healthcare needs will then be used to identify the most appropriate services for the Medicaid recipient. \nNURSE CALL The Governor's recommendation \nfor F.Y. 2000 includes the establishment of a Nurse Call program for all Medicaid recipients. Under the Nurse Call program, Medicaid recipients will have access to a 24-hour toll free phone line that will allow them to make more informed decisions about their use of acute care services. It is anticipated that this program will minimize inappropriate or unnecessary use of health care services. \n \nMedicaid Long Term Care Recipients S.F.Y.1998 \n \n50,000 \"--39=,6~947'\"\"---~---\"\"\" 40,000 \n \n30,000 \n \n20,000 \n \n10,000 \no \n \n1,736 \n \nNursing Waivers ICFIMR Home \n \n380 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nVALUE-BASED HEALTH CARE PURCHASING \nPURPOSE: To ensure access to quality, cost effective health care services for Medicaid eligible Georgians by purchasing services from qualified providers and monitoring the accessibility and quality of services received. \nGOAL 1: Primary care case managers will help children avoid acute medical problems by ensuring that the children receive appropriate home-based and preventive healthcare treatment. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: Increase the usage oflong term control medication in the chronic management of asthma in children age 5 to 17 from 50% in F.Y. 1999 to 66% in F.Y. 2000 (activity measure). \n \n40010 \n4,800 of 12,000 children \n \n50% \n6,000 of 12,000 children \n \n66% \n7,920 of 12,000 children \n \n$2,067 per Medicaid beneficiary \n \n$2,287 per Medicaid beneficiary \n \n$2,445 per Medicaid beneficiary \n \nNote: Third party recovery efforts include reimbursement of medical costs paid by Medicaid for services covered under a Medicaid recipient's medical, accident, and other insurance. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: The Medicaid program will control costs and save at least $2,445 per Medicaid beneficiary by ensuring the recipients have exhausted all other forms of insurance payments before their medical bills are paid by Medicaid. \n \nPEACHCARE FOR KIDS \n \nPURPOSE: Offer health insurance coverage to uninsured children in low-income families that have incomes below 200% of poverty level. \n \nGOAL 1: All eligible children will have health care coverage. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: At least 60% of eligible children will have healthcare coverage through the PeachCare program, an increase of200% over F.Y. 1999. \n \n20% \n \n60% \n \n00f124,000 \n \n24,800 of 124,000 74,400 of 124,000 \n \n1 PeachCare was implemented during F.Y. 1999.

The F.Y. 2000 recommended assessment to be levied on all state agency authorized positions for providing a base level of statewide services should be no more than $137 per authorized position. \n \n389 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nRoles and Responsibilities \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of state government. The Merit System is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data, and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices. \nThe enactment of S.B. 635, passed during the 1996 Legislature, decentralizes the state's personnel administration system, allowing agencies the freedom to assume from the Merit System the responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties. The Merit System remains responsible for performing these duties for agencies electing not to assume them. \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall \nleadership, direction and management of the agency to include the areas of legal services, public relations and information services, policy analysis and development. This division also provides: research, counseling and education in equal employment opportunity and diversity; evaluation, counseling, mediation and education in management! employee relations; and management of the state's employee recognition, charitable contribution and employee s~ggestion programs. \n \nAdditionally, the Compensation and Staffing section performs evaluations and audits of state agency personnel practices as required in S.B. 635, as passed in the 1996 Legislature, and in accordance with guidelines established by the Personnel Advisory Council. The section's duties include developing and maintaining model standards and processes which agencies may use in the course of their personnel administration activities. The division audits state agency personnel programs and practices for conformity and compliance with recognized professional practices and legal requirements. \nEMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Employee Benefits Division administers the \nemployee State Health Plan and the Flexible Benefits Plan. These plans include benefits such as fee-for-service and HMO health coverage, behavioral health coverage, pharmacy coverage, group term and dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, dental insurance, legal insurance, and medical and child care spending accounts. The division is involved in benefit design and communication, maintaining employee eligibility records, interacting with agency benefit coordinators, reviewing and administering claims, monitoring contractors providing insured benefit products, and review of plan utilization, \n \nTRAINING AND ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT The Training and Organization Development section of \nthe Human Resources Administration Division assesses and assists agencies in determining employee job-related skills needs; develops and delivers in conjunction with state agencies performance management training for new supervisors; assists departments in meeting training objectives by designing and/or conducting train-the-trainer sessions. The division fulfills its duties through several means including the oversight and coordination of the use of: a training center, teleconferencing facilities and equipment, satellite downlink facilities and equipment, and an education and training resource library. \nCOMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffing section of the \nHuman Resources Administration Division offers a variety of services to assist agencies regarding employee compensation, work studies, applicant screening and evaluation, and recruitment. These services are usually in the form of labor market research and analysis, development and implementation of equitable pay and reward systems, general and specialized employee recruitment, distribution of job information, design and administration of written and non-written tests, and processing and evaluating job applications as requested. \n \nINTERNAL ADMINISTRATION The Internal Administration Division furnishes \nadministrative, technological and accounting services for other Merit System divisions and administers the State Deferred Compensation Plan. These services include human resource management, budget administration, strategic planning and coordination of the department's quality assurance program, payroll, purchasing, mailroom operations, contract services, data entry, and mainframe and personal computer systems support. The division also provides human resource services to state agencies through personnel policy consultation and interpretation, and statewide drug testing functions. The division's duties also entail the receipt and deposit of health, flexible benefits and deferred compensation revenue; management of funds for the State Health Benefit plan in order to provide for claims payments while maximizing investment income; monitoring of contractor compliance and performance; provider billing and claims audits; and the investment and distribution of deferred compensation funds. \nAUTHORITY Titles 20 and 45 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n390 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration utilizes an assortment of programs and services in monitoring and coordinating personnel administration and benefit plans within state government. The enactment of S.B. 635 in F.Y. 1997 continues to significantly reshape the role of the Merit System and state agencies in the selection, hiring and management of personnel. Agencies now are free to assume certain personnel administration activities from the Merit System if they choose, and all new state employees hired are exempt from the classified service and its administrative and procedural restrictions. As a consequence, the Merit System is moving from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies, to one of consultation, technical support and review. Examples of the department's strategies and services regarding addressing this new role appear below. \nORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES The department, to definitively \nsatisfy the needs and expectations of agencies resulting from S.B. 635, is adopting an organizational design and reconfiguring its services so it can become increasingly responsive and flexible in the wake of these and other continuing changes in the state's personnel administration environment. The structure chosen is intended to meet the goals of responsiveness and flexibility to changes in customer needs, while providing the types of customized services and technical assistance necessary to aid agencies in achieving their business objectives. The Compensation and Staffing Division, created in F.Y. 1997 by merging two divisions, now consists of eight units. These units are Recruitment and Job Counseling, Qualifications Development and Evaluation, Written Exam Research and Development, Exam Administration, Customer Interface Team, Labor Market Analysis, \n \nCompensation, and Technical Support. These units offer interested agencies services in a number of areas including assisting in developing job recruitment literature, posting job vacancies, conducting initial screening interviews, reviewing job classification and compensation, determining and reviewing the qualifications necessary for jobs, and developing and validating employee and applicant tests. \nOther divisions have been combined as well to lessen the department's number of administrative levels. The Health Benefit Services and Flexible Benefits divisions have been merged to form the Employee Benefits Division. The Accounting \u0026 Audits and Administration \u0026 Systems divisions have been combined to create the Internal Administration Division. \nDEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN CHANGES \nAt the direction of the State Personnel Board and the Employee Benefit Plan Council, Merit System staff, assisted by consultants from William M. Mercer Asset Planning, reviewed the state's voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan Program to determine how well it was meeting the supplemental retirement savings needs of participating state employees, and what improvements should be made to the Program. The program review included surveys of participating and non-participating employees, as well as an extensive market search and proposal analysis regarding the investment choices offered to plan members and the Program's administrative services. \nThis review resulted in the Board and the Council approving several recommended modifications to the Program. These modifications became effective July I, 1998 and include adding a 40 I(k) plan to the Program to allow state employees participating or who wish to participate in the Program the option of investing in the present Deferred \n \nCompensation Plan or in the 401 (k) \n \nalternative. These plans differ in their \n \ntax liability to members, in their \n \ninvestment \n \nand \n \nportability \n \nrestrictions, and in other provisions. \n \nAnother modification adopted and \n \nimplemented regarding the Program \n \nwas the replacement of several \n \ninvestment options available to \n \nmembers with a variety of new and \n \ncombined investment options to better \n \nmeet the retirement investment \n \nobjectives of Program members. A \n \nfinal significant revision to the \n \nProgram's operation was the decision \n \nto contract the member investment \n \naccount record keeping and customer \n \nservice activities to an outside \n \norganization specializing in these \n \nservices rather than continuing to \n \nperform these duties within the Merit \n \nSystem. Contracting for these \n \nservices affords the Program, in a \n \nsignificantly less expensive manner, a \n \nway to furnish its members an \n \nexpanded variety of customer service \n \nfeatures concerning their investment \n \naccounts and offer greater \n \nconvenience. \n \nPEOPLESOFT SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION \nAs part of the state's project to replace its mainframe computer financial and personnel systems with a more modem, versatile Year 2000 compliant system from PeopleSoft, the Merit System has been involved in the design and implementation of the Human Resource Management System modules of the PeopleSoft replacement system. These particular modules will replace present state mainframe computer personnel data and expense projection systems such as the Georgia Employee Management System (GEMS) and the Position Accounting and Control System (PACS). The Merit System, along with other agencies, is providing staff support where necessary to the overall PeopleSoft project. The department's role in this project is spotlighted through the selection of the Commissioner of the \n \n391 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nMerit System as a member of the project Steering Committee, and through the department's director of Administration and Systems serving on the project Executive Oversight Committee. \n \nAPPLICAnON OF \n \nTECHNOLOGY \n \nThe Merit System, searching for \n \nfaster, more efficient means of \n \nperforming and delivering its \n \nproducts and services, is broadening \n \nits use and application of technology \n \nwherever possible. The Training and \n \nOrganizational \n \nDevelopment \n \nDivision, through the help of grants \n \nfrom the Georgia Statewide \n \nAcademic and Medical System \n \ncommunications network, is using \n \nteledistance/teleconferencing tech- \n \nnology to conduct training \n \nconferences and seminars in an \n \nattempt to effectively and efficiently \n \nmake these offerings conveniently \n \navailable to a greater number of state employees throughout the state. The department has opened a site on the World Wide Web to provide general and job-specific information to any applicant or interested party having access to the internet. On-line access to reference information and documents regarding personnel practice models and standards, State Personnel Board rules and other items is also available to the public on the department's website. \nELECTRONIC APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM \nIn F.Y. 2000, the department will continue to develop and implement an electronic recruitment, applicant tracking and hiring system which will readily furnish information to job candidates, hiring managers and agency human resource staff. The system would allow prospective job candidates to review a comprehensive \n \nlisting of state agency job openings and apply on-line if desired. Applicant information will be stored in a central database and matched against future job openings for which the applicant may be eligible. Agencies will be able to directly post and update job listings, and analyze and screen information from the applicant database for filling job openings and conducting workforce planning. The department anticipates several benefits from this system including substantially improved access to information for job candidates, agency managers and agency human resource staff; reduced paperwork due to the greater degree of automation this system offers; faster completion time regarding applicant and agency requests; and elimination of duplicate personnel databases on state government. \n \nApplicant Information Contacts and Applications \n300,000,-------,-----,------,---------,----------, 266,443 \n250,000 \n200,000 \n \n150,000 \n \n100,000 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 Fiscal Years \n \n1998 \n \n1999 (est.) \n \n392 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nEMPLOYEE BENEFITS \nPURPOSE: To recruit and retain state employees while minimizing employee and employer cost of high quality benefits. \n \nGOAL 1: State employees will perceive that benefits offered are satisfying. \nDESIRED RESULT Ia: Eighty-five percent of employees rate the Health Benefit Plan as satisfying in terms of product, cost and services they offer. \n \nBased on survey conducted with customers responding as somewhat satisfied or very satisfied with current health care covera e. \n \n87% \n \n85% \n \n85% \n \nResult is from a survey conducted in the 96-97 plan year.

These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety, and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air, and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws. \nBoth the Commissioner's Office and the Program Support Division provide administrative support for the entire department. Six separate and distinct divisions provide services to the citizens of Georgia. \n \nPARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the \ncitizens of Georgia through the development and operation of 48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted 15 million visitors during F.Y. 1998. The division manages over 72,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps, and golf courses. \n \nWILDLIFE RESOURCES \n \nThe division manages lands and freshwater habitat for \n \npublic hunting, fishing, and educational purposes and \n \npromotes the conservation and wise use of game and \n \nnongame wildlife resources. \n \nAll state laws and \n \ndepartmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery \n \nresources, wild animals, boating safety, and hunter safety \n \nare enforced by the law enforcement section. The division \n \nmanages Public Fishing Areas and Wildlife Management \n \nAreas, and produces over 14 million fish each year in 9 \n \nstate hatcheries which are used to stock public waters and \n \nfarm ponds. \n \nCOASTAL RESOURCES The division's primary objectives are to ensure the \noptimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve, and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development, and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species. \n \nENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main \nobjective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste, and hazardous waste \n \nlaws, rules, and regulations. These objectives are accomplished through a permitting process coupled with monitoring, inspection, investigation, and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund. \nHISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services \nand assistance to governmental agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register of Historic Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects, and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters, and other preservation programs. \nPOLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed \nto serve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in fmding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water, and air pollution problems through preventive measures. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes \namateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games. \nThe Civil War Commission encourages preservation of Civil War sites and promotes tourism to these sites. \nThe Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority is responsible for managing through contract the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the islands. \nThe Jekyll Island State Park Authority is responsible for the development and operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities on the island. \nThe Stone Mountain Memorial Association is responsible for managing through contract the operation of tourist, convention, and recreational areas and facilities at the mountain. \nThe Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority promotes, develops, and serves agriculture and agricultural business interests of the state, produces and operates the Georgia National Fair, and encourages the agricultural accomplishments of Georgia's youth. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 12, 16,27,31,43,44 and 52, Official Code of \nGeorgia Annotated and Public Laws 92-500, 93-523, 88206, 94-580. \n \n408 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES \nStrategies and Services \n \nGeorgia is geographically the largest state east of the Mississippi River and is blessed with great scenic beauty and many outstanding natural and historic resources, which are enjoyed by the state's citizens and tourists alike. As the population grows, demands on Georgia's natural resources increase, making it essential that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continue its obligation to protect, preserve, and manage these resources for present and future generations. DNR's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) serves as the state's regulatory agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal environmental standards relating to water, air, and land. \nGeorgia is rich in surface water resources with over 70,000 miles of streams, 425,582 acres of public lakes and reservoirs, 854 square miles of estuaries, and 100 miles of coastline. These waters support drinking, recreational, and industrial uses for Georgians and provide habitats for a variety of aquatic life. Governor Barnes' budget provides funds for several projects relating to water quality and water management to ensure an adequate supply of clean water for Georgians now and well into the future. \nGeorgia's air meets national standards for all pollutants except ozone. The 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area has been declared an \"ozone non-attainment area\" under the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Because of the negative impacts on citizens' health and on economic growth and development in the region, Governor Barnes' budget supports a number of initiatives to improve the quality of air in the metropolitan Atlanta area. \nAIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES \nThe failure of the 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area to meet mandatory federal air quality standards threatens the health of \n \nGeorgians and will result in stiff restrictions and regulations on businesses in the state. A continued failure to meet federal air quality standards will jeopardize federal funding for Georgia and seriously impact the state's future economic growth and development. \nGovernor Barnes supports several programs to reduce air pollution in the Atlanta area. His strategy includes a regional approach to the development of transportation alternatives and the start-up of new programs, in conjunction with the continuation of existing programs to reduce the number of cars on the roads by encouraging carpooling, alternative work schedules, and the increased use of existing mass transit. \nGovernor Barnes proposes the creation of a Metropolitan Atlanta Transportation Authority to encourage and support the expansion of Atlanta area mass transit systems and to oversee the planning and development of a regional commuter rail system to relieve metro-Atlanta's traffic congestion as a major component of Georgia's plan to improve the air quality in the area. The authority would also ensure that mass transit and rail systems in the region coordinate routes and services. The Governor proposes a state fund appropriation of $1 million in F.Y. 2000 to cover start-up costs for the authority. \nThe Governor's strategy for cleaning up Atlanta's air does not rely solely on mass transit and commuter rail. It includes programs aimed at permanently changing citizens' attitudes toward their daily commute to work or school. The Governor proposes to continue the Voluntary Ozone Action Program (VOAP) initiated this past summer. Through VOAP, EPD partners with businesses, governments, universities and others in the metro-Atlanta area to develop voluntary vehicle emission-reduction plans that can be implemented on days with projected high ozone levels. These voluntary plans can include \n \ncarpooling and mass transit, \n \nalternative work schedules, and \n \ntelecommuting. VOAP includes a \n \nmajor public education campaign as \n \nwell as enhanced air monitoring \n \ncapabilities in order to more \n \naccurately project daily ozone levels \n \nin Atlanta. \n \nThe Governor \n \nrecommends $300,000 in state funds \n \nin F.Y. 2000 to match $1,200,000 in \n \nfederal Congestion Mitigation and Air \n \nQuality funds to continue this \n \nprogram. \n \nGovernor Barnes proposes to \n \nexpand state government's role as a \n \nleader in adopting policies and \n \nimplementing incentives that \n \nencourage employees to reduce the \n \nnumber of single-passenger trips to \n \nwork within the Atlanta ozone non- \n \nattainment area. The Governor \n \nrecommends $100,000 in state funds \n \nin the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to \n \nmatch $400,000 in federal Congestion \n \nMitigation and Air Quality funds to \n \ncreate a Georgia State Agency \n \nRideshare Office and to provide mass \n \ntransit subsidies for state employees \n \nin the metro-Atlanta area through the \n \n2000 ozone season. \n \nThe proposed Georgia State \n \nAgency Rideshare Office will \n \nprovide effective coordination of all \n \nprograms relating to alternative \n \ntransportation for state employees. \n \nThe office will work closely with \n \nstate agencies to encourage their \n \nadoption of policies and programs to \n \npromote carpooling, vanpooling, mass \n \ntransit, telecommuting, and \n \nalternative work schedules. The \n \nRideshare Office will also monitor \n \nstate employees' transportation \n \nattitudes and habits, and propose \n \nstatewide programs and policies to \n \naccomplish the goal of reducing \n \nsingle-passenger trips to work by state \n \nemployees in metro-Atlanta. \n \nThe Rideshare Office will also \n \ncoordinate a program to provide Mass \n \nTransit Subsidies for state \n \nemployees. Currently, state \n \nemployees can purchase a $45 \n \nMARTA monthly pass for $38.25 \n \nunder a bulk discount agreement \n \n409 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nbetween MARTA and the Georgia \n \nBuilding Authority. \n \nGovernor \n \nBarnes' proposal will expand this \n \nincentive by providing a subsidy to \n \nfurther reduce the cost of a monthly \n \ntransit card for state employees to \n \nabout $25 for all mass transit systems \n \noperating in the metro-Atlanta area. \n \nWATER QUALITY AND \n \nPROTECTION STRATEGIES \n \nSeveral major water management \n \nissues face the state of Georgia at the \n \nbeginning of the Barnes \n \nAdministration. These include: \n \nsaltwater intrusion into underground \n \nwater resources along the coast; on- \n \ngoing negotiations with Florida and \n \nAlabama over the management of \n \nshared water resources; inclusion of \n \nagricultural water use in statewide \n \nwater use planning; and the \n \ndevelopment \n \nof \n \nmaximum \n \ncontaminant limits for state waters as \n \nrequired by the federal Clean Water \n \nAct. \n \nThe Floridian Aquifer supplies \n \nmost of the. water used by citizens, \n \nlocal governments, agriculture, and \n \nindustry in 24 counties in southeast \n \nGeorgia. The current level of water \n \nusage in this area is contributing to \n \nexisting saltwater intrusion in the \n \nBrunswick area and the potential of \n \nsaltwater intrusion in Savannah. The \n \neconomic well-being of coastal \n \nGeorgia depends on maintaining the \n \ncapability to use the aquifer to \n \nsupport future development in this \n \nregion of the state. \n \nUnderstanding groundwater is a \n \ndifficult and expensive undertaking, \n \nand solid scientific data and water \n \nmanagement strategies must be \n \ndeveloped. State support for the \n \ndevelopment and implementation of a \n \ncomprehensive management plan is \n \nnecessary to allow for the sustainable \n \nuse of this valuable resource for the \n \nfuture and to provide adequate \n \nprotection for coastal groundwater \n \nresource:;. The 8-year Coastal \n \nGroundwater (Sound Science) \n \nStudy was initiated with an \n \nappropriation of $1 million in \n \nF.Y. 1999. \n \nThe Governor \n \nrecommends increasing funding for \n \nthe project's first year by adding $2,695,000 in state funds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to support the up-front costs of drilling wells necessary to sample and monitor the aquifer, including the expensive offshore wells and deep Brunswick wells. On-going funding of $1 million in F.Y. 2000 is also recommended. These funds will be used to begin collection of the scientific data needed to fully understand the aquifer and to develop an appropriate management plan to protect coastal groundwater. The 8year project will cost an estimated $14 million, with $10 million in state funds and $4 million from paper companies that have agreed to provide $500,000 in support each year. \nTo ensure that Georgia's strategy for managing the water resources of the Upper Floridian Aquifer is a coordinated effort between state and local governments, Governor Barnes recommends a one-time appropriation of $880,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to support the development of Local Water Supply Plans for 22 of the 24 southeast Georgia counties that use the aquifer. (Glynn and Chatham counties already have plans.) \nGeorgia, Florida, and Alabama are working together to manage shared water resources under federally approved Interstate Compacts. Although negotiations among the states were to be completed in December 1998, efforts are underway to extend the deadline to December 1999. Governor Barnes has included in his F.Y. 2000 budget a continuation of the $250,000 annual appropriation for technical and legal contract services to support Georgia's negotiating team. \nThe purpose of the interstate compacts is to develop water allocation formulas to settle disputes over the use and management of interstate waters of the ApalachicolaChattahoochee-Flint (ACF) and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) river systems. In order to determine accurate water budgets and flow rates, \n410 \n \na Southwest Georgia Groundwater Study is necessary to evaluate the impact of Lake Seminole on the ground and surface waters in that region of the state. Governor Barnes recommends $225,500 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to begin a 3-year project, conducted jointly with the U.S. Geologic Survey, to determine the flow of ground and surface water into and out of Lake Seminole to protect Georgia's water rights in negotiations with Florida and Alabama. \nAlthough agriculture is the largest user of groundwater in Georgia, there are no reporting requirements under the agricultural water use permitting process. In order to develop a strategy to protect coastal Georgia from saltwater intrusion and to develop water allocation formulas for Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, EPD must have reliable agricultural water use information. Rather than impose a cumbersome reporting requirement on all farmers with water withdrawal permits, meters installed on a small, statistically valid sample of farms will provide EPD with a statistically reliable estimate of agriculture water use that can be used for water resource management. The 5-year Agricultural Water Use Study began with an appropriation of $250,000 in F.Y. 1999. Governor Barnes recommends $250,000 in F.Y. 2000 to continue this study. \nA federal court issued a ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region IV that required the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for state waters within an 8-year time frame beginning in F.Y. 1998. TMDLs are discharge load limits that must be developed very carefully for Georgia's streams using high-quality field data to ensure that limits accurately reflect the wastewater treatment level needed to protect the stream. To help with this environmental problem and to comply with the court's ruling, Governor Barnes recommends $1,168,000 in F.Y. 2000 to support the third year of \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nthe 8-year TMDL development program. \n \nCOASTAL RESOURCES \n \nSTRATEGIES \n \nGeorgia continues to experience \n \na steady population increase along the \n \ncoast. Coastal waters support \n \nboating, swimming, recreational \n \nfishing, and commercial fishing. The \n \ngrowth in population and businesses \n \nin the region continues to strain this \n \nvaluable state resource. Governor \n \nBarnes recommends 2 programs to \n \naddress public health concerns in \n \ncoastal Georgia and to enhance \n \nrecreational saltwater fishing \n \nopportunities. \n \nThe Governor's Coastal Public \n \nHealth Monitoring Program will \n \nreplace the current, limited shellfish \n \nwater-sampling program with a \n \ncomprehensive monitoring initiative \n \nto provide on-going testing of coastal \n \nwaters, fish tissue, and sediment \n \nquality. The program will establish a \n \nbaseline \n \nof \n \ncontaminant \n \naccumulations in estuarine and near- \n \nshore coastal waters, and provide a \n \nmechanism to track future changes \n \nthat may indicate a potential public \n \nhealth risk. This will allow the state to \n \nrespond effectively to problems \n \nrelating to coastal waters before they \n \nbecome critical. The Governor \n \nrecommends $170,000 in state funds \n \nto initiate this monitoring program, \n \nwith $50,000 for an additional biologist and increased operating expenses for the Coastal Resources Division and $120,000 for contract services for water and sediment testing. \nGovernor Barnes recommends a Recreational Saltwater Fishing Enhancement program in recognition of recreational saltwater fishing's importance to Georgia's coastal economy. Since Georgia has few natural offshore reefs, the state and private interests began constructing artificial offshore reefs in the early 1970s. Growth in recreational offshore fishing has resulted in existing reefs being over-fished. The Governor recommends $248,000 for construction of additional offshore artificial reefs and reef buoy maintenance along Georgia's coast; $45,000 to update and reprint Georgia coastal fishing charts that were last updated in 1982; and $70,000 for the construction of inshore artificial reefs and buoys. \nOSSABAW ISLAND STRATEGY Ossabaw Island is a state-owned \nisland designated as a Heritage Preserve. It is located off the upper coast of Georgia just south of Savannah. There is no bridge connecting the island to the mainland-access for people and \n \nsupplies is by air and water only. \n \nCurrently, stationary generators run \n \nby diesel engines produce power for \n \nthe island. Fuel for the diesel engines \n \nis supplied in 55-gallon drums \n \ntransported by boat. The fuel is off- \n \nloaded into pipes leading to 2 \n \naboveground storage tanks. The \n \nDepartment of Natural Resources has \n \nbeen notified that the fuel \n \ntransportation and off-loading \n \nsystems do not meet U.S. Coast \n \nGuard Standards and must be \n \nreplaced. The island's fuel storage \n \ntanks also fail to meet state fire codes. \n \nRecognizing the potential for \n \nenvironmental and fire safety \n \nproblems with the existing fuel \n \nsystem, the Governor recommends \n \nreplacing it with electricity to be \n \nprovided through the installation of a \n \nsubmarine electric cable connecting \n \nthe island to the mainland. \n \nSpecifically, \n \nthe \n \nGovernor \n \nrecommends that DNR be authorized \n \nto sell a little-used 300-acre wildlife \n \nmanagement area (WMA) in a \n \ndeveloping section of Dougherty \n \nCounty and retain the projected $1.2 \n \nmillion in proceeds to purchase 300 \n \nacres of WMA land in an \n \nundeveloped area of Dougherty \n \nCounty for $450,000, and to use the \n \nremaining $750,000 in proceeds to \n \ninstall an electrical cable from the \n \nmainland to Ossabaw Island. \n \n411 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nPARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC

The Department provides a safe environment by enforcing traffic and criminal laws, investigating accidents, and encouraging safe driving practices. The Agency regulates drivers to ensure minimum safety standards, knowledge and driving skills are met. The Department's troopers work to reduce accidents and injuries by discouraging speeding, encouraging seat belt use, and by stopping drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They also provide law enforcement assistance and emergency response to the public and criminal justice community. \nA staff of 1,907 employees (including 889 sworn positions), support the operations of the Department of Public Safety's - Budget Unit A. DPS also has 6 agencies in Budget Unit B attached for administrative purposes. The 3 functional budgets which comprise Budget Unit A are: \nADMINISTRATION The administrative and management direction for the \nDepartment of Public Safety, including the coordination and support services of the 6 attached agencies, are provided by this function. \nDRIVER SERVICES The issuance of driver's licenses, permits and the \nadministration of the commercial driver's license program are carried out by the Driver Services function. The Department utilizes 48 full service testing locations, 26 Kroger renewal sites, 11 travel teams, 9 reinstatement facilities, and 6 renewal only sites. These sites are situated throughout the state. Additional responsibilities include suspension and reinstatement of driver's licenses and school bus safety program certification and inspection. \nFIELD OPERATIONS More commonly known as the State Patrol, this \nfunction is responsible for accident control, traffic and speed enforcement, drug interdiction, and protection of the public roads and highways. To carry out its duties, the State Patrol operates 48 patrol posts and 7 aviation hangers statewide. \n \nATTACHED AGENCIES The following 6 attached agencies, including 163 \nauthorized positions, comprise Budget Unit B: The Georgia Public Safety Training Center provides \ninstruction and support services for the training of state and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, correctional officers and emergency personnel. \nThe Georgia Police Academy conducts mandated basic training for state law enforcement agencies. The academy also provides advanced and specialized training to improve the knowledge, skills and performance of law enforcement officers. \nThe Georgia Fire Academy is primarily responsible for providing training to full-time, volunteer and industrial firefighters in Georgia. Emergency medical, rescue and hazardous materials training for firefighters and other emergency services personnel are also provided by the Fire Academy. \nThe Firefighter Standards and Training Council is responsible for establishing uniform standards for the employment and training of firefighters. Additionally, the council establishes curriculum requirements and approves schools and facilities for the purpose of fire training. \nThe Peace Officer Standards and Training Council is responsible for improving law enforcement in the state by enforcing legislatively established standards for the employment and training of peace officers. The citizens of Georgia can be assured the adequate protection of persons and property through the establishment of minimum standards and professionalism developed and supported by law enforcement training. \nThe Governor's Office of Highway Safety is responsible for the development and administration of statewide highway safety programs. The agency coordinates programs funded through federal highway grants designed to reduce the number of highway deaths and to promote safety. \nAUTHORITY Title 25, 35 and 40 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated; Georgia Laws 1980, Act 875 and Act 866. \n \n429 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY \nStrategies and Services \n \nIn an effort to recruit and retain \n \nthe most qualified law enforcement \n \nofficers, Governor Barnes has \n \nrecommended a pay increase for the \n \nGeorgia State Patrol. In F.Y 2000, \n \nthe Governor has recommended \n \n$1,177,366 to increase the salaries for \n \nthe Department of Public Safety's \n \nsworn officers. The increases would \n \nserve to raise the minimum salaries \n \nfor all Trooper Cadets, Troopers, and \n \nTroopers First Class to the target \n \nsalary level set by Georgia Gain. It \n \nwould also provide a 3% salary \n \nincrease for all sworn law \n \nenforcement officers in the \n \nDepartment who are at or above the \n \nGeorgia Gain target hire rate. This is \n \nin addition to the Georgia Gain pay \n \nfor performance increase. \n \nThe Department of Public Safety \n \n(DPS) is responsible for protecting \n \nthe lives of Georgia's citizens by \n \nmaking the state's highways safer. As \n \nthe largest law enforcement agency in \n \nthe State of Georgia, the department \n \nis involved in regulating drivers, \n \nenforcing traffic and criminal laws, \n \nand promoting safe driving practices. \n \nIn F.Y. 1998, the Department's \n \ntroopers \n \ninvestigated 28,000 \n \naccidents, and made over 9,000 DUI \n \narrests. \n \nThese efforts have \n \ncontributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia. \nIn F.Y. 2000, the Governor has continued his support for the department's efforts to increase the safety of the state's highways by increasing the size of the State Patrol by 40 Troopers. This brings the authorized count for sworn officers in the Georgia State Patrol to 929. \n \nNEW RADIO SYSTEM \n \nThe Department of Public \n \nSafety currently utilizes a UHFNHF \n \nradio system which is outdated and in \n \nneed of repair. Current coverage area \n \nis 70%, 80% of the time. This \n \ncoverage ratio means that there are \n \nsignificant dead spots in the radio \n \nsystem, which results in law \n \nenforcement personnel being left out \n \nin the field without any means of \n \ncommunicating for backup support. \n \nBesides safety concerns, the \n \nFederal \n \nCommunications \n \nCommission is in the process of \n \nrefarming land mobile radio \n \nspectrums. Current UHFNHF users \n \nsuch as the Department of Public \n \nSafety will need to move to power \n \nfrequencies, such as an 800 MHz \n \nradio system. No date has been \n \nfirmly set for this migration. An outside consultant has \nrecommended that the Department of Public Safety move to an 800 MHz radio system. The 800 MHz radio system has voice, data, and pager capabilities. The 800 MHz system gives the State Highway Patrol 90% coverage throughout the State 90% of the time. \nIf DPS moves to an 800 MHz radio system, there is an additional benefit. Due to the advanced capabilities of the 800 MHz system, DPS will be able to operate their radio communications with a reduced staff. Only 160 radio operators will be necessary to run the system. DPS can operate out of 9 Troop Command Centers with only 18 Communication Equipment Officers per site. \nHIGHWAY SAFETY The Department's highway safety \nprogram consists of the following functions which are performed by the Georgia State Patrol: \n Speed Limit Enforcement--The Department wrote more than 265,000 citations for speeding in F.Y. 1998 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce highway speed and save lives. \n \nGeorgia State Patrol - Troopers Proposed Beginning Salary Compared to Other States \n \nGeorgia State Patrol $0 \n \n$5,000 \n \n$26,001 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 $35,000 \n \n430 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services \n \nFurther, the department continued an intensive speed enforcement program, known as Operation Hardnose, designed to target problem drivers in the Atlanta area. Operation Hardnose consists of 50 troopers in concentrated patrols on metro interstates and has resulted in thousands of tickets and warnings being issued. \n Star GSP--One of the first proactive responses to D.U.! drivers came in 1994 as the department unveiled a proposal to involve the average citizen in the statewide crackdown on drunk and drug impaired drivers. By dialing *GSP, any driver with a cellular phone may \n \nannouncements targeting seat belt usage. In F.Y. 1998, operation \"Strap 'N Snap,\" was implemented, which focuses on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During F.Y. 1998, 195,000 citations were written in this operation. \nDRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE The Governor supports the \nDepartment's efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities involving teenage drivers. The leading cause of death in U.S. teenagers is motor vehicle crashes and young drivers experience a disproportionately higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than other aged \n \nin 1998. Combined with the 29 previously opened, these 32 serviceoriented facilities renewed over 839,000 driver's licenses in F.Y. 1998. \nAnother step to improve service is the introduction of computerized digital imaging license issuance in the fall of 1996. Digital imaging makes it possible for the Department to issue a renewal driver's license immediately, rather than 45 days. A digital imaging system does not require film or a camera; instead, the image is captured by a computer using a video camera and printed using a color printer. Over-the-counter instant issuance has significantly improved \n \nYoung Drivers in Speed Related Motor Vehicle Crashes in 1996 \n \n2,000 \n1,600 --------- \n1,200 \n \n800 \n \nIf400 \n \n- \n \no \n \n16 \n \n17 \n \n- - --. \n \n-- \n \n- \n \n.... \n \n18 \n \n19 \n \n20 \n \nAge \n \nimmediately contact the nearest State Patrol Post to report an impaired driver. The program has been very successful, accounting for almost 900 DUI arrests in F.Y. 1998. \n Seat Belt and Child Restraint Enforcement--With the passage of Georgia's primary seat belt enforcement law, the State of Georgia has made a commitment to seat belt enforcement. According to studies, proper use of safety belts and child safety seats can reduce the likelihood death and injury by 40-50%. The State Patrol and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service \n \n-e- Crashes -II- Injury Crashes \ndrivers. According to the Office of Highway Safety, 108 of every 100,000 drivers under 18 were involved in a fatal crash. This is 3 times as many traffic deaths as drivers who are 24 years or older. \nYoung drivers are involved in more deadly crashes than other age groups due to a number of factors, including a lack of driving experience, a tendency to drive faster, driving more at night, not wearing seat belts, having more passengers in their vehicles, and not being able to handle the effects of alcohol. \nAs part of an effort to improve service at overcrowded driver's license facilities, the Department opened 3 more license renewal sites \n \nthe efficiency and quality of service. \nTRAINING The State of Georgia currently \nhas 44,532 peace officers in 971 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed 400 hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of in-service training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter \n \n431 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services \n \nStandards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center. \nIn F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends the expansion of the \"Judgmental Use of Deadly Force\" basic training course. This 16 hour \n \ncourse focuses around simulation training (\"shoot-don't shoot\" situations) rather than \"live fire\". In F.Y 1999, the Public Safety Training Center implemented this training course at the Training Center in Forsyth. Due to the requirement that all new officers receive this training part of the basic mandate, the \n \nTraining Center is operating above capacity for this course, which results in a lack of course offerings for the advanced Judgmental Use of Deadly Force course. The Governor has recommended purchasing 9 additional simulators to be strategically located with the department police academies \n \nJudgemental Pistol Shooting Simulators Department Academies \n \nLocations Recommended (9) . . \n0 Existing Location (1) \n \n432 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services \n \naround the state. This would reduce demand at the Public Safety Training Center for basic students and allow for more advanced and specialized training using this valuable training device. \nDRUG INTERDICTION The nature of the job performed by a trooper has changed significantly over the last decade. Georgia State Patrol Troopers are placing increased emphasis on drug interdiction and eradication, both as a byproduct of normal traffic enforcement, and through involvement in state and federal task forces. An example of \n \none of these task forces is the Governor's Task Force on Drug Eradication, which is supported by the State Patrol and its aviation unit. In F.Y. 1998, GSP troopers and pilots seized over $960,000 in currency, more than 45 kilos of cocaine, and more than 1800 pounds of marijuana.the Georgia State Patrol is a member of the Indoor Marijuana Growth Task Force, which is funded through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. This program has added to the number of seizures the Department has had. The Department also developed a K-9 program of drug detection dogs to \n \nassist with seizure efforts. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor is \nrecommending $122,302 for the expansion of the Basic Communication Officers course from 40 hours to 64 hours.

The commission ensures that consumers receive adequate and reliable service at reasonable rates. At the same time, however, the commission must provide regulated companies the opportunity to earn a fair return on their investments. \nThe Public Service Commission is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency consisting of a 5-member board of commissioners elected by statewide general election for a 6-year term. The agency also has a staff of engineers, auditors, analysts, inspectors, enforcement officers and others who perform a variety of technical, enforcement and administrative duties. The commission is organized into 3 divisions: the Transportation Division, the Utilities Division and the Administrative Division. The Administrative Division handles support and coordination services for the entire commission. \nJURISDICTION The Public Service Commission has jurisdiction over \nthe following services: Transportation--Railroads, commercial transport of \npersons or property on state highways (not including school buses, taxicabs, buses, tow trucks, and several others), dock or wharfage companies, terminal station companies and miscellaneous others. \nUtilities--Gas and electric light and power companies, natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution facilities, telephone and telegraph companies, and for-hire radio communications and dispatch systems. \nThese industries must abide by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Public Service Commission and must request approval for any changes in the rates, types or quality of services provided. \n \nTRANSPORTATION In its regulation of the transportation industry, the \ncommission strives to provide a viable and safe motor and rail transportation system for the benefit of the public. The commission's Transportation Division enforces state and federal laws and regulations governing the operation of trucks, buses and other regulated motor carriers. The division inspects maintenance and driver's records, enforces safety standards, checks insurance requirements and investigates complaints about service or rates. \nUTILITIES In regulating public utilities, the commission exercises \njurisdiction over the rates and types of service most of Georgia's citizens receive. The commission oversees the safety and maintenance of 500 miles of natural gas transmission lines and over 20,000 miles of distribution lines that transport over one-third of the state's energy supply to 2 million gas customers. \nRegulated public utility companies are required to keep the commission informed of their operations and fmancial status. The commission's Utilities Division audits fmancial reports and analyzes rate filings, fuel recovery cases and other matters filed by regulated gas, electric and telephone companies. \nWhen regulated companies request permission to change rates or services, the commission may conduct hearings and subpoena witnesses to gather evidence regarding the need for any changes. The commission staff prepares background information, conducts financial analyses and forecasting, and provides technical assistance to the commissioners. \nAUTHORITY Title 46 of Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n448 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Public Service Commission \n \n(PSC) has exclusive power to decide \n \nwhat are fair and reasonable rates for \n \nservices under its jurisdiction. With \n \nfew exceptions, the Commission \n \ndetermines what rates utilities and \n \nother regulated telecommunications \n \nand transportation industries can \n \ncharge, and the service they must \n \nprovide to the public. Therefore, the \n \ncommission's actions affect citizens \n \nevery time they pick up a telephone, \n \ntum on a light or purchase \n \nmerchandise transported by a truck. \n \nThe responsibilities of the Public \n \nService Commission include: \n \n Reviewing requests from \n \nregulated industries to change rates. \n \n Improving the safety of \n \nGeorgia's transportation system and \n \nnatural gas operations. \n \n Providing for long range \n \nplanning to promote efficient use of \n \nenergy resources. \n \n Facilitating competition and \n \nensuring a good quality of service in \n \nthe new natural gas and \n \ntelecommunications \n \ncompetitive \n \nenvironment. \n \n Responding to complaints. \n \nThe scope of jurisdiction and \n \nresponsibilities are changing for the \n \ncommission. In 1995, the General \n \nAssembly passed legislation to \n \nderegulate telecommunications. In \n \n1997, the Legislature passed \n \nlegislation to deregulate the natural \n \ngas industry with the deregulation of \n \nthe electric industry inevitable. By \n \nderegulating these utilities, the \n \nmission of the commission will \n \nchange from a regulator to a supporter \n \nof competition. \n \nIn fulfilling its responsibilities, \n \nthe commission holds hearings on \n \nvarious rate cases, conducts vehicle \n \nsafety inspections and gas safety \n \ninspections, \n \nand \n \nhandles \n \napproximately 5,000 consumer \n \ncomplaints about regulated services. \n \nThe commission is authorized to \n \ninvestigate and gather evidence, issue \n \norders, hear appeals, and institute \n \ncourt proceedings to enforce its \n \ndecisions, rules and regulations. \n \nROADSIDE INSPECTIONS One of the objectives of the \nPublic Service Commission is to improve the safety of the highways to reduce accidents. The program is named the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). The federal government provides a 80% federal / 20% state match for this program. Each year 15 million commercial motor vehicles travel Georgia's roads.. \nMCSAP officers perform about 30,000 truck inspections each year. Each officer is certified by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council and specially trained to inspect motor vehicles. In addition, the enforcement officers are the only law enforcement officers specially trained to inspect trucks hauling hazardous materials or waste in Georgia. The officers inspect about 5,000 vehicles transporting hazardous materials each year. Officers also assist at the scene of hazardous materials incidents and conduct follow-up investigations. \nEnforcement officers perform 5 different levels of random inspections. Level I is the North American Standard Inspection which includes both the driver and the vehicle. All mechanical parts of the truck are manually tested, and all paperwork and driver condition are surveyed. The other levels are: \n Level II: Walk-Around Driver/ Vehicle Inspection. (Not as detailed as a Level I.) \n Level III: Driver-only Inspection. \n Level IV: Special Inspection.  Level V: Vehicle-only Inspection. \nRATE CASES The Public Service Commission \nand its staff review and analyze requests by regulated industries to establish new rates, offer new services, modify existing services or implement new technology. At the rate hearings, both the utility and the commission's staff present testimony \n449 \n \nconcerning financial and technical information. Expert testimony and public witnesses are also heard during the hearing. After all the testimony is presented, the commissioners decide what, if any, rate/service changes are granted. \nGAS PIPELINE SAFETY The Public Service Commission \nensures that natural gas is delivered to consumers through the safest possible system by inspecting gas suppliers, pipelines, storage facilities, systems and operators. This program is the Gas Pipeline Safety Program which is funded 50% federal / 50% state. The safety checks ensure pipes are not rusting, proper pressure regulation and safeguards are in place, proper odorant is in use to warn of leaks, and employee drug testing is conducted. \nThe Commission is responsible for inspecting 84 municipal gas systems, 126 master meter operators, 2 transportation pipelines, 2 publicly held gas systems, 5 liquefied natural gas plants, and 2 direct sales interstate pipeline suppliers. In addition to inspections, the inspectors conduct annual gas safety training seminars for gas system operators. In F.Y 2000, the Governor recommends adding one additional Gas Pipeline inspector. \nINTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANS \nSince 1991, Georgia's 2 investorowned electric power companies have been required to file an integrated resource plan (IRP) with the commission at least every 3 years. The purpose of the IRP is to promote a long-term approach to providing energy and encouraging energy conservation. \nThe IRP includes the utility's energy and demand forecasts over a 20-year period. The Commission evaluates the IRP for its feasibility, reliability, and cost. In addition, the commission must certify new construction of electric plants and \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nmonitor the construction process to ensure costs are kept within budget. \n \nNATURAL GAS \n \nDEREGULATION. \n \nIn 1997, the General Assembly \n \npassed the Natural Gas Competition \n \nand Deregulation Act. \n \nThis \n \nlegislation deregulates segments of \n \nthe natural gas industry. The \n \nCommission has gone from a \n \nregulator of monopoly local service \n \nproviders to a facilitator of \n \ncompetition while protecting the \n \npublic against unfair competition and \n \nabuse of market position. \n \nThe Natural Gas Bill directly \n \nimpacts 2 investor-owned utilities, \n \nAtlanta Gas Light Company and \n \nUnited Cities Gas Company. These 2 \n \ncompanies will maintain the gas lines \n \nand sell gas to marketers. The \n \nmarketers in tum will sell the gas to \n \nthe customers. The cost that the gas \n \ncompanies charge the marketers will \n \nstay regulated. Marketers will offer \n \ncompetitive prices to the end users, \n \nresidential and small business customers. The law includes safeguards so that the marketers do not \"cherry pick\" customers and leave other customers unserved or paying higher prices. Beginning November 1, 1998, gas customers in Georgia can choose from 19 marketers of natural gas that have been certified by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The PSC certifies companies based on their technical and fmancial ability to reliably serve Georgia consumers. Each company must meet stringent requirements designed to protect Georgia consumers. \nTELECOMMUNICATIONS LEGISLATION \nThe 1998 General Assembly passed 3 major consumer protection bills that the PSC must implement in F.Y 2000. House Bill 71, the Telemarketing No Call Bill, HB 1130, the Slamming Bill, and SB 522 the Cramming Bill. Along with SB 215, passed by the 1997 General \n \nAssembly, which deregulated the Natural Gas industry, these bills dramatically increase the workload for the Consumer Affairs Division of the Public Service Commission. \nHB 71, the Telemarketing No Call Bill allows residential phone customers to apply to the Public Service Commission to be placed on a list that makes it illegal for telemarketers to solicit them. The customer pays $5 to be placed on this list for a two year period. This list is updated regularly and the telemarketers purchase the list from the Public Service Commission for a $10 fee. The Public Service Commission has contracted with a vendor to create a database of subscribers to the no call list, and to distribute the list to telemarketers. The vendor will also collect subscriber fees and bill telemarketers for use of the no call list. HB 1130, the Telecommunications Marketing Act of 1998 is commonly known as the \"Slamming Bill\". Slamming \n \nLEGISLATION IMPACTING THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION \nSenate Bill 215 - Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act - Deregulation of the natural gas industry. Customers will purchase natural gas from marketers certified by the Public Service Commission. Prior to this legislation, customers were served only by one natural gas company. \nSenate Bill 522 - Amendment to the Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 Prohibits cramming by phone companies. Cramming occurs when a phone company adds additional services to your phone service without your permission, and charges you for these services. \nHouse Bill 1130 - Telecommunications Marketing Act of 1998 - Prohibits slamming by phone companies. Slamming occurs when a phone company switches your long distance phone service without your permission. \nHouse Bill 71 - Telemarketing No Call Bill- This bill makes it illegal for telemarketers to solicit phone customers who are placed on a \"No Call List\". \n \n450 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \noccurs when a phone company switches your long distance service without your permission. SB 522 amends the Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 to include the prohibition of cramming by phone companies. Cramming occurs when a phone company adds additional services to your phone service without your permission, and charges you for these services. These 3 pieces of \n \nlegislation passed by the General Assembly in 1998 will increase the demand on customer service provided by the Public Service Commission. addition of the bills passed by the General Assembly, along with the implementation of the deregulation of the natural gas industry, the Commission is projecting over 100,000 customer contacts in F.Y 2000. \nIn F.Y 2000, the Governor \n \nrecommends converting 2 temporary consumer affairs regulatory specialist positions to permanent status, and adding I additional consumer affairs regulatory specialist to meet the increasing demands placed on the Public Service Commission. \n \n120,000 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 \no \nCustomer Contacts Full Time Staff \n \n1997 55,377 \n6 \n \nCustomer Contacts \n(FY 1997 - FY 2000) \n

In 1998, the system served 277,703 students and granted 37,556 degrees. This undertaking requires 34,754 equivalent full-time state funded positions budgeted as of July 1, 1998. This total does not include 239 positions in the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission. \nThe Units of the University System perform several functions, including instruction, research, and public service. The primary mission of the system is instruction. This activity is funded through the Resident Instruction or \"A\" Unit Budget. The \"B\" Unit Budget contains 14 different functional budgets. Activities funded through the \"B\" Unit include the Georgia Tech Research Institute, Agricultural Experiment Stations, Cooperative Extension Service, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS INSTRUCTION-The system is composed of 34 \ninstitutions that provide approximately 90% of the people of Georgia with access to institutions of higher education within commuting distance. Fifteen two-year colleges offer programs leading to an associate degree. Four of these institutions (Bainbridge, Coastal Georgia Community College, Clayton and Dalton) offer vocational programs through an arrangement with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education. There are 13 senior colleges and state universities in the system. These institutions offer baccalaureate degrees, and most offer associate and graduate degrees. All 6 regional and research universities in the system offer graduate and professional degrees, as well as some associate and baccalaureate degrees. \nOTHER SYSTEM UNITS AND ACTIVITIES GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GTRI) - \nis comprised of 6 laboratories that provide a broad range of scientific, engineering and industrial research. The Institute encourages industrial and economic development by providing an extension service that meets the technical, informational and other needs of industry and local development groups. \nAGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS conduct basic and applied agricultural research to obtain a more complete understanding of the factors that bear upon Georgia agriculture. This mission is accomplished by research in crop and animal production, product quality, new product development, and the use of new technology in the processing and manufacturing of these products. \nCOOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE - provides assistance to Georgia farmers through a network of county extension agents who share information and research developed through the effort of the Agricultural Experiment Stations. Cooperative Extension also provides useful and practical information to the people of Georgia on subjects \n \nrelated to natural resources, home economics, youth development, rural development, and family support. \nMEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA HOSPITAL AND CLINICS - serve as an auxiliary unit of the Medical College of Georgia focusing on the development of medical knowledge and skills through organized programs of teaching medical, dental, nursing and allied health science students. The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics allow students to develop knowledge and skills by actually participating in the care of patients. \nSKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY (SKIO) - is a non-degree granting research institute of the University System. The mission of SKIO is to provide the state with an internationally recognized marine science center and to promote economic development within Georgia. Skidaway has been an active participant in the distance learning initiative and also provides significant environmental research and information. \nGEORGIA RESEARCH ALLIANCE (GRA) - is a partnership between Georgia's public and private research universities and private corporations to promote economic development in Georgia. GRA's mission is to improve Georgia's research capabilities in emerging technologiesspecifically advanced communications, biotechnology and environmental technologies-that offer significant potential for economic and industrial growth. All of GRA's activities are geared toward creating and nurturing a critical mass of intellectual capital that in tum leads to the creation of new technologies, new companies and other cutting edge opportunities for Georgia. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission \n(GPTC) provides a 9-station television and I3-station radio network designed to meet the educational, cultural and informational needs of the people of Georgia. The commission also provides educational programming for state agencies and local schools through state-of-the-art satellite technology. \nThe State Medical Education Board administers a medical scholarship program and loan repayment program, and promotes the practice of rural medicine in underserved communities. \nThe Georgia Board for Physician Workforce (formally the Joint Board of Family Practice) encourages the development of medical educational programs by extending financial aid to medical school and residency training programs. It also administers the Southern Regional Education Board's payments program as well as operating grants to the Mercer University School of Medicine and the Morehouse School of Medicine. \nAUTHORITY Titles 12,20,49 and 50 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n477 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA \nStrategies and Services \n \nHigher education has a proud history in the state of Georgia. The beginnings of this tradition can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres for the endowment of \"a college or seminary of learning.\" From that humble start, the University System of Georgia has grown to include 4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, and 15 associate degree colleges, which cumulatively enrolled 200,102 students in the fall of 1998. \nAny growing organization must have a vision to guide its decisions, and the University System has completed a comprehensive strategic plan. A cornerstone of the plan is the assurance that the system is meeting the needs of the state by maximizing the full potential of its resources. Efforts are currently underway to develop budget strategies that link objectives for enrollment, workforce needs and capital priorities to resource requirements in meaningful and realistic ways. Guiding this work is a vision statement adopted by the Board of Regents that says, in part: \"As Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will lead in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and colleges, Georgia's will be recognized for first-rate undergraduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service... The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and universities will sustain close contact with the people of Georgia, be responsive to the needs of Georgians first and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state.\" \nAccording to the November 1998 article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Georgia now ranks tenth nationwide in terms of higher education funding and enjoys considerable prestige in the education community. Governor Barnes' initiatives target resources to 4 major \n \nareas within the University System: facilities, teacher preparation, improving access to education and development of high tech industry. \nFACILITIES IMPROVEMENT Governor Barnes recommends a \ntotal of $206,290,000 in new construction, planning and design, and renovation projects in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget. These projects include: an expansion of the School of architecture for Southern Polytechnic State University ($12,690,000); an instructional complex for Gordon College ($14,880,000); an Environmental and Sciences building for Georgia Tech ($36,620,000); a Health and Natural Science building for North Georgia College and State University ($18,930,000); a Student Learning Center for the University of Georgia ($42,315,000); and the Gwinnett Center for UGA/Perimeter College ($21,755,000). \nThe Governor's capital outlay plan is based on a priority list developed by the Board of Regents, \n \nand is designed to meet the projected needs of the system as a whole. \nIn addition, Governor Barnes has also authorized $51,540,892 in major repair and rehabilitation (MRR) funds in F.Y. 2000, and increased the MRR formula-funding factor from .99% to 1.02% of total replacement value. The MRR fund increase illustrates the Governor's commitment to maintaining and protecting higher education facilities. \nThe Equipment, Technology and Construction Trust Fund provides for the purchase of needed equipment at the institutions, thus enabling them to increase student's experience with recent technological advancements. Specifically, funds have been used to purchase advanced equipment for classrooms and high technology laboratories, and to build and equip technology-related facilities. The Governor recommends that $15 million be allocated to this fund in F.Y. 2000, once again designating $3 million for Unit \"B\" activities. \n \nCapital Outlay \u0026 Major Repair and Renovation Funds \nTotal Funds: $272,830,892 \n \nNew Construction, Planning and Design, and Renovations $206,290,000 \n \nLottery Capital Outlay \n$15,000,000 \nMajor Repair and Renovation $51,540,892 \n \n478 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nMOVING TOWARD THE NEW MILLENIUM \nUnder the guidance of the Chancellor and the Board of Regents, the University System of Georgia has focused on several areas that have received significant support from Governor Barnes. Many of these initiatives are critical to the future success of the System. Both the Board of Regents and the Governor have placed considerable emphasis and resources in the areas of systemwide higher standards, greater access to higher education for the citizens of Georgia and statewide economic development. \nRAISING SYSTEM QUALITY AND STANDARDS - Many efforts have been made to increase both the academic standards of the University System and the quality of instruction. In order to prepare Georgia's students to meet new admission standards, the Governor recommends $4 million in F.Y. 2000. to support the Teacher Preparation Initiative. In April 1998, the Board of Regents adopted ten principles for the Preparation of Educators for the Schools. These principles are organized into three categories: quality assurance, collaboration and responsiveness. The principles represent a coherent and integrated set of directions for improving teacher quality in Georgia. \nThe goals of this initiative are: to strengthen the preparation of early childhood and middle school teachers in reading and mathematics; to give added emphasis to the \"hands-on\" experience of teacher candidates through stronger partnerships between universities and the public schools; to raise significantly the quality of preparation programs for school leaders; and to contribute toward bringing an end to out-of-field teaching in Georgia. \nThe University System of Georgia will be accountable for the teachers they train. Any teacher prepared by the University System and recommended for certification who does not meet the employing Georgia school's expectations within \n \nthe first two years will receive additional training at no expense to the student or to the school. Teachers will be better prepared in mathematics, reading and other core areas and will complete at least the equivalent of academic minors in these areas. More faculty will be hired to strengthen the content preparation of early childhood teachers. \nThe Board of Regents will seek to expand partner schools. Teacher preparation should be the shared responsibility of university education faculty, arts and science faculty, and classroom teachers in P-12 schools. Through partnerships, faculty will spend more time in the schools, remaining in closer contact with the realities of school practices. \nA portion of the Governor's recommendation will allow the Board of Regents to invest in the preparation of school leaders. Proposals for innovative doctoral programs in education will be considered so that future school administrators can have the knowledge and skills to improve student achievement in Georgia's schools. \nOut-of-field teaching (teaching a subject with less than an academic minor) is a problem in Georgia schools and part of this initiative will focus on creating a self-paced technology intensive program for individuals seeking careers as teachers in shortage areas. Expanding the number of teaching certification programs offered to individuals who already hold bachelor degrees will increase their opportunity for a midcareer change. Teachers with practical experience in a variety of fields can only be a good resource for students. \nIn the F.Y. 2000 budget, Governor Barnes supports several ongoing initiatives focused on improving education quality and standards. Connecting Teachers and Technology initiative's goal is to increase the number of courses which integrate technology into the instructional process by preparing teachers in various technologies, to teach via distance learning networks, \n479 \n \nand to explore the contributions of \n \ntechnology instruction. The Governor \n \nrecommends $4,820,000 in F.Y. 2000 \n \nto continue this initiative.

This initiative seeks to build on the existing strengths of the Georgia Institute of Technology to offer programs in additional areas of the state. The initial implementation will \n \nbe in the Statesboro/Savannah region. Georgia Tech will work with the University System to provide access to existing Master degrees available in electrical and environmental engineering, develop targeted Master of Science degrees in areas such as systems engineering and software engineering, and develop two cooperative degree programs in the following areas: Bachelor of Science in Computer and Software Engineering and Bachelor of Science with a major in Civil Engineering. These two cooperative undergraduate degree programs will provide a new model for engineering delivery to \n \nhelp local areas attract students and produce graduates who will find employment in the region. Within this framework, students from the partner universities will have access to degree programs and faculty from their universities will be instructors. It will take full advantage of distance learning and can support both traditional and non-traditional students. \nThe University of Georgia's \"electronic library\" system is regarded as a national model with a remarkable track record in just 3 years of operation. GALILEO has recorded over 11 million \"hits\" or \n \n480 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nsearches. Currently, 34 University System libraries, the Governor's Office, three legislative research offices, 60 public libraries, 34 technical institutes and 33 private educational institutions are linked to the system. Plans are underway to add 101 additional public libraries and 1,818 K-12 libraries to the GALILEO family. The Governor recommends $1,939,000 in lottery funding for GALILEO. \nIn an effort to improve access to educational services, the Governor recommends $1.5 million in state general funds for the expansion of the current Statewide System of Desktop Learning known as \"Georgia On-Line\". This network meets the educational needs of working professionals throughout Georgia by offering both credit and non-credit courses over the World Wide Web. This cutting-edge technology advancement, known as the \"virtual university\", helps the University System of Georgia maintain its competitiveness with other systems across the nation. The F. Y. 2000 funding will broaden the two-year pilot project to produce online credit and non-credit courses, and plan for current and future distance education. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 2000 recommendation includes a continuation item that reflects his commitment to greater access; $527,000 is recommended in lottery funds to continue the Connecting Students and Services Initiative. These funds will maintain current service levels which improve the access of students to the services required for a successful academic experience. \nHIGH TECH INDUSTRY BASE DEVELOPMENT \nGovernor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 Budget launches an economic development initiative to make Georgia a preeminent leader in the design of electronic components for this rapidly growing economic sector. The Governor's initiative brings together the strengths and expertise of \n \nthe University System, the Georgia \n \nResearch Alliance, and the \n \nDepartment of Industry, Trade and \n \nTourism with the express goal of \n \nmaking Georgia the preeminent \n \nleader in an emerging high \n \ntechnology sector. \n \nThis initiative represents a \n \nparadigm shift in the state's economic \n \ndevelopment efforts. Its defining and \n \ncritical component is the development \n \nof the state's most valuable assets - its \n \npeople and the product of their \n \naccumulated knowledge, or in other \n \nwords its intellectual capital and \n \nproperty. At the project's core is the \n \ndevelopment and maintenance of the \n \nknowledge and human talent required \n \nto support this new industry. \n \nThe significance of this initiative \n \nis the combination of focused \n \nresearch, educational capacity \n \ndevelopment, \n \ncommercialization \n \nsupport, and targeted marketing all \n \ndirected toward building this new \n \nindustry sector. This unique initiative \n \nwill be overseen by a multi- \n \norganizational team consisting of \n \nrepresentatives from the private \n \nsector, government and the state's \n \nuniversities. The project will support \n \nfundamental and applied research, \n \nexpedite the transfer of intellectual \n \nproperty to the commercial world, \n \nassist start-up and relocating \n \ncompanies for getting established in \n \nthe state, ensure industry-endorsed \n \nstudent and professional training in \n \nrelevant fields, and work to attract \n \nlarge companies in the targeted \n \nindustry sector. \n \nGovernor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 \n \nBudget includes $13,625,000 to begin \n \nthe focused research, educational \n \ncapacity building, marketing, and \n \ncommercialization effort required for \n \nthis initiative. Funding of $4.65 \n \nmillion is dedicated to increasing the \n \neducational capacity of the state to \n \nsupport this industry by providing for \n \nnew faculty, curriculum change, and \n \ncontinuing education for individuals \n \nin the relevant fields. An additional \n \n$4 million is devoted to focused \n \nindustry research in 5 specialized \n \nareas to provide the basis for next \n \ngeneration industry products. In \n \n481 \n \norder to facilitate the commercial success of products emerging from this research, the F.Y. 2000 Budget also provides $2,925,000 for commercialization, including $2.5 million in seed capital to be matched at a rate of 3 to I by the private sector. This seed fund, which is targeted at a total State fund commitment of $5 million over the next 2 to 3 years, will leverage $15 million in private venture capital to bring new ideas and products to the marketplace. To coordinate the University System's efforts, $425,000 is provided for operational staffing, incubator support and development of an intellectual capital mart. \nThe University System's efforts will be complimented by a vigorous marketing and sales effort on the part of the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. The Governor recommends $2,050,000 to market the state to companies and individuals in this new industry sector. This funding provides for $1.9 million in marketing funds as well as one staff person for the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism to focus on \"selling the State\" to individuals and companies in this new industry segment. \nThe benefits to be gained from this substantial investment are farreaching. By 2005, this initiative aims to add 2,000 high paying engineering jobs in Georgia, locate or see established ten key companies within the state, and increase fourfold the supply of venture capital available to fledgling Georgia businesses in this industry sector. The project's longterm goal is to build a sustainable economic environment anchored in knowledge-based industries. \nOVERALL SYSTEM FUNDING Since 1992, the University \nSystem of Georgia has enjoyed an 83% increase in total state appropriations. Governor Barnes recommends $1,593,252,836 in F.Y. 2000 for the University System and its attached agencies, not including the pay raise package. This total represents an increase in support not \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nonly for traditional programs, but also for new and innovative initiatives that have propelled the University System of Georgia to the forefront of the national higher education scene. \nThe University System of Georgia has continued to achieve the fundamental mission of instruction, research and public service. With continuing support from Governor Barnes', the system will continue to focus on critical areas such as improving academic standards, participating in statewide economic development and increasing access to the system and its resources. \nTEACHER SALARIES To provide Georgia's colleges \nand universities with quality professors to teach the rising number of students, Governor Barnes continues to support increases in faculty salaries. In F.Y. 1992, Georgia ranked seventh among the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states in annual faculty salary at four-year public institutions, with an average salary of $42,766. This year, projections indicate that Georgia will at least maintain its second place among SREB states with a salary of $59,592. Recognizing the importance of attracting and maintaining excellent employees, Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendations include $40,506,241 to provide a 4% merit-based pay increase for University faculty and staff. Based on this increase and projections developed for other states, Georgia will have an average annual faculty salary at four-year institutions of $61,976, a significant increase over the national average salary. Consistent increases in teacher salaries have made Georgia competitive at the national level in the area of teacher recruitment. Governor Barnes' commitment to keeping the faculty salaries competitive will benefit the entire system and improve the quality of education available to students at Georgia's colleges and universities. \n \nTotal University System Funding \n \n1,600,000,000 - \n \n1,400,000,000-, \n \n1,200,000,000 ~ \n \n1,000,000,000- \n \n.1 \n \nI I 800,000,000 L \n \n1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 * 2000 \n \nRec. Fiscal Years \n \nSTATEWIDE \n \nECONOMIC \n \nDEVELOPMENT The Georgia \n \nTech Research Institute (GTRI) \n \nmakes major contributions to the \n \nstate's economic growth through \n \nresearch and development. GTRI's \n \neconomic importance stems from the \n \nout-of-state research dollars generated \n \nand spin-off companies created to \n \nmarket GTRI discoveries. Current \n \nand former GTRI employees have \n \ndeveloped at least 26 such companies. \n \nThe Governor recommends \n \n$9,804,267 in state general funds for \n \nGTRI. \n \nThe Center for Rehabilitation \n \nTechnology (CRT) is an established \n \ninterdisciplinary research and design \n \ncenter devoted to applications of \n \ntechnology to alleviate problems of \n \nhuman need, providing service, \n \nresearch, and education under the \n \nauspices of Georgia Tech. Governor \n \nBarnes recommends $512,551 in F.Y. \n \n2000 funds to renovate the building \n \nacquired by CRT for their Advanced \n \nWood Products Laboratory Job \n \nDevelopment Program. These funds \n \nwill allow CRT to implement their \n \nwood processing equipment training \n \nprogram and implement the initial \n \ncourse. \n \n482 \n \nSince 1970, the Marine Extension Service of the University of Georgia has worked to provide assistance to Georgia's $60 million seafood industry. Georgia's seafood processing plants are among the largest in the southeast and employ over 1,600 full-time and seasonal workers. Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendation for this agency includes funds for a marine aquaculture specialist and supplies to explore the feasibility of farming finfish in Georgia. The total F.Y. 2000 recommendation for the Marine Extension Service is $1,509,634. \nThe Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech stimulates the formation of technology-based companies and assists in their growth and development. ATDC graduate companies employ over 2,700 people and had a 1997 combined income of over $330 million. Ten companies graduated in 1998 and they expect at least ten to graduate in 1999. ATDC business incubators will soon be a part of two new GRA supported facilities at the Applied Genetics Technology Center at UGA and the Biotechnology Development Center at Emory University.

Through new programs such as FaciliTech, EDI provides technical assistance to companies expanding in or moving to Georgia. Facilitech is a state economic development incentive that supports the re-Iocation, expansion or retention off companies by providing in-depth access to specialized technical assistance. Since March 1996, 33 projects have been completed and 10 are currently in progress. For F.Y. 2000, Governor Barnes recommends $100,000 to continue Facilitech. These funds were previously funded through the Regional Economic Business Assistance grant program in the department of Community Affairs. Communities across the state use EDI's local impact analysis model \n \n(LOCI) to examine the financial impact of potential investments. This year the Governor is recommending funds for an engineering specialist to assist companies in implementing Lean Manufacturing concepts. This specialist will also train EDI staff to deliver services in this relatively new field, and, funds for a communications specialist to support these efforts. The Governor also recommends $175,000 to add two new information technology engineers in the Albany and Macon regional offices. ATDC/EDI funding in F.Y. 2000 is $10,866,455. \nAnother significant piece of economic development in Georgia is the Traditional Industries Program. While the Georgia Research Alliance focuses on the creation of new industry, the Traditional Industries Program (TIP) is designed to help our large existing industry base in food processing, pulp and paper, and carpet, textile, and apparel stay \n \n483 \n \ncompetitive in the face of increasing \n \ninternational competition and \n \ntechnological change. \n \nThe program is unique in the \n \ndriving role assumed by industry. \n \nIndustry partners identify problems \n \nand define the research agenda, and \n \nthen continue to work with university- \n \nbased researchers throughout the \n \nprojects. Funded projects are \n \nexpected to improve companies' \n \nmanufacturing \n \nprocesses, \n \nenvironmental performance, and \n \nproduct development. In addition, \n \nfood safety is a priority for the food \n \nprocessing industry, and fiber supply \n \na priority for the pulp and paper \n \nindustry. \n \nGovernor Barnes \n \nrecommends \n \n$15580000 \n \n($4,235,000 in state general funds' and \n \n$11,345,000 in bonds) this year to \n \nsupport this program. \n \nThe investment includes \n \n$3,715,000 for industry-driven \n \nresearch projects. It also includes \n \n$2,285,000 for equipment needed to \n \ncarry out the research. In addition, \n \nGovernor Barnes recommends \n \n$75,000 in the F.Y. 1999 Amended \n \nBudget and $100,000 in the F.Y. \n \n2000 Budget for urgent technical \n \nassistance for small and medium sized \n \nmeat and poultry processors facing \n \ntougher Hazard Analysis and Critical \n \nControl Points (HACCP) regulations. \n \nThis assistance will help prevent \n \ntemporary plant closings due to \n \nviolations. For many of these plants, \n \neven a short shutdown can tum into a \n \npermanent closing, since customers \n \nmay find other suppliers. Because \n \nmany of these plants are in small \n \nGeorgia communities, closings of any \n \nlength can have a devastating impact \n \non local economies. \n \nThis year, the Traditional \n \nIndustries investment package \n \nincludes significant funds for facility \n \nconstruction and improvements. A \n \nFood Processing Technology \n \nBuilding ($4,110,000 - the state \n \ncontribution to a $9.7 million project) \n \nat Georgia Tech, an addition to the \n \nFood Science Building ($4,200,000) \n \nat the University of Georgia, and lab \n \nrenovations ($750,000) for the \n \nNational Textile Center program at \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia Tech will strengthen \n \nresearchers' capacity to meet industry \n \nneeds. \n \nThe funds are split among the \n \nthree industry groups as follows: \n \n$2,767,000 (plus $8,310,000 for \n \nconstruction) for food processing; \n \n$2,125,000 for pulp and paper, and \n \n$1,628,000 (plus $750,000 for \n \nrenovations) for carpet, textile, and \n \napparel. \n \nThe Georgia Environmental \n \nPartnership (GEP) is a partnership \n \ncomprised of the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P2AD) of the \n \nDepartment of Natural Resources, the \n \nEconomic Development Institute \n \n(ED!) at Georgia Tech, and the \n \nDepartment of Biological and \n \nAgricultural Engineering (BAE) at \n \nthe University of Georgia. GEP's \n \nmission is to leverage the financial \n \nand human resources of its members \n \nto provide a coordinated delivery of \n \ntechnical assistance that promotes the \n \nadoption of pollution prevention, \n \nenergy efficiency, and environmental \n \ncompliance throughout Georgia. GEP \n \nseeks to avoid duplication of services \n \nwhile \n \nproviding \n \nseamless \n \nenvironmental assistance to business. \n \nGovernor Barnes continues the \n \nfunding for GEP at the $300,000 \n \nlevel. These funds leverage other \n \nfunds available to the partners to help \n \nindustry with on-site assessments, by- \n \nproduct recovery, and information \n \nabout best practices. \n \nTHE VISION OF GEORGIA'S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM - All initiatives and developments must be consistent with the vision of the University System of Georgia. The 3 basic programs of the System are instruction, research and public service. \nRESIDENT INSTRUCTION The \"A\" Unit of the University System budget funds resident instruction at all 34 institutions and represents the largest commitment of money and personnel. The resident instruction portion of the F.Y. 1999 Budget was $1,338,763,639. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $1,373,605,912. Resident instruction \n \nF.Y. 2000 State Funds Unit B Recommendation - $177,413,969 \n \nOther 8.4% \nAgriculture Research and \nExtension 43% \n \nEconomic and Industrial \nDevelopment 11.6% \nMarine Education and Research \n2.4% Medical Education and Research 34.6% \n \nis formula-funded and places considerable emphasis on enrollment growth. \nAnother component of the formula addresses funding for major repair and rehabilitation of all University System assets. Governor Barnes' F.Y. 2000 recommendation changes the formula to fund these repairs at 1.02% of the replacement value of $5,053,028,625. MRR is currently funded at 0.99% of replacement value. \nThe \"A\" Unit also contains funding for Special Funding Initiatives, Forestry Research, the Student Education Enrichment Program, the Office of Minority Business Enterprises and the Research Consortium.. \nRESEARCH - System research funds are generated by the formula. However, additional funds are recommended to support the research functions of several \"B\" Unit \n \nactivities. \n \nGovernor Barnes \n \nrecommends that the \"B\" Unit receive \n \n$177,413,969 in state funds for F.Y. \n \n2000. \n \nResearch projects conducted by \n \nthe University System's institutions \n \nincrease the national prestige of the \n \nsystem as a whole. Georgia creates \n \nresearch opportunities and reaps the \n \nbenefits of pure and applied research \n \nfindings. \n \nOne important research activity is \n \nthe Agricultural Technology \n \nResearch Program at Georgia Tech. \n \nGovernor Barnes is including funds to \n \nincrease information systems research \n \nin F.Y. 2000. One new project \n \ninvolves the development of a \n \nHazard Analysis and Critical Control \n \nPoints (HACCP) Support Technology \n \nThrust which helps poultry and all \n \nagribusiness find better technologies \n \nfor controlling and ensuring the safety \n \nof the food products they produce. \n \nResearchers will explore the use of \n \n484 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nadvanced computer vision and wearable computer technology systems. \nAnother important research function is the University of Georgia's Agricultural Experiment Station. The mission of this unit is to conduct research and provide information on the factors that influence agriculture in Georgia. Current research efforts focus on the environment, peanut, poultry and cotton production and developing WorldWide Web pages to enhance electronic information dissemination. The total F.Y. 2000 recommendation for the Agricultural Experiment Stations is $42,655,541. These funds include a recommendation of $790,000 to increase funds for maintenance and utility expenses. \nThe Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) is helping to create an environment in Georgia that 1) is conducive to high-tech company growth, 2) improves Georgia's image as an advanced technology state, and 3) produces more high-paying, good quality jobs for Georgians. The goal is to position Georgia among the top five states in the nation with a technology-based economy as we move into the 21 51 century. \nGeorgia's research universities, in collaboration with one another, continue to expand their research portfolios, based in part on key investments in people, facilities, and equipment funded by the state through GRA. This commitment by the state has catapulted Georgia into the small group of states that leads the nation in state support of the research enterprise as a key element of its economic development strategy. Governor Barnes' recommends $42.7 million in the F. Y. 1999 Amended Budget for GRA. This investment includes $3 million to fund endowments that will be used to recruit 4 additional Eminent Scholars to Georgia, bringing the total number of GRA Endowed Chairs to 32. The recruitment of these scholars to the state continues to be the key component of GRA's success. These research stars successfully compete \n \nfor a disproportionate share of funded \n \nresearch, attract the best graduate \n \nstudents, and create the most interest \n \non the part of companies. Not long \n \nago, the Wall Street Journal credited \n \nGeorgia's recruitment strategy with \n \nredefining economic competition \n \namong the states. \n \nThe investment also includes \n \n$34,750,000 \n \nfor \n \nlaboratory \n \nconstruction and specialized \n \ninstrumentation in support of \n \ncollaborative \n \nresearch \n \nand \n \ndevelopment led by eminent scholars \n \nand other top researchers. GRA \n \nprovides the infrastructure needed to \n \ngenerate scientific breakthroughs that \n \nlead to new products and techniques \n \nthat can be developed, manufactured, \n \nand then deployed into lucrative new \n \nmarkets creating new wealth for \n \nGeorgians. \n \nGovernor Barnes recommends \n \nexpanding Georgia's capacity to \n \nmove products from research and \n \ndevelopment to commercialization \n \nthrough the addition of a technology \n \ndevelopment center at the \n \nEnvironmental Science \u0026 Technology \n \nBuilding at Georgia Tech. This \n \ncenter will provide an \n \ninterdisciplinary \n \nenvironment \n \nfavorable to the creation of new \n \nbusinesses. Through the integration of \n \ntechnical, management, financial, and \n \nlegal services, researchers and \n \nentrepreneurs will bring new \n \nenvironmental technologies to the \n \nmarket. \n \nFinally, in a related \n \nrecommendation (not part of the GRA \n \ntotal) the Governor proposes \n \n$450,000 in the F.Y. 2000 Budget for \n \nthe \n \nAdvanced \n \nTechnology \n \nDevelopment Center (ATDC) at \n \nGeorgia Tech to staff and operate the \n \nnew GRA Applied Genetics \n \nTechnology Center at the University \n \nof Georgia, and the Biotechnology \n \nDevelopment Center at Emory. This \n \nunique collaboration among the \n \nuniversities leverages the expertise of \n \nATDC, an award-winning incubator, \n \nand builds on its successful operation \n \nof the Georgia Center for Advanced \n \nTelecommunications Technology \n \n(GCATT) incubator. The funding \n \n485 \n \nalso includes an additional ATDC \n \nposition for the GCATT incubator. \n \nPUBLIC SERVICE - Service \n \nactivities provide assistance to groups \n \nor individuals outside the traditional \n \nclassroom. The \"A\" Unit provides \n \nextensive continuing education \n \nclasses and receives funds for Public \n \nService Institutes such as the State \n \nData Center at Georgia Tech and the \n \nCarl Vinson Institute of Government \n \nat the University of Georgia. Many \n \nother service activities are funded \n \nthrough the \"B\" Unit. \n \nThe Cooperative Extension \n \nService, based at the University of \n \nGeorgia, is one such program. The \n \nprincipal focus of the program is \n \nagriculture - embracing the food and \n \nfiber industries, horticulture, natural \n \nresources and the environment. In \n \naddition, the Cooperative Extension \n \nService supports programs in home \n \neconomics and the statewide 4-H \n \ninitiative. This year, the Governor \n \nrecommends funds for ten new county \n \nagents to aid in service delivery to \n \ncommunities.

To carry out its \n \nmission, GPTC operates nine \n \ntelevision stations and 13 radio \n \nstations statewide Georgia Public \n \nTelecommunications Commission's \n \nstate-of-the-art broadcast and \n \nproduction center, the most \n \ntechnologically advanced public \n \nbroadcasting facility in the country, \n \nhas been in operation since August \n \n1997. The new digital environment- \n \nthe television technology of the new \n \nmillenium-has greatly expanded the \n \ncapabilities of Georgia Public \n \nBroadcasting. \n \nPeachStar-the \n \nCommission's educational service's \n \nsatellite delivery system-has \n \ncontinued to provide quality \n \nprogramming for every Georgia \n \nschool and any other institution \n \nstatewide that is equipped with a \n \nsatellite dish. The Commission also \n \nhas other channels available for \n \nstatewide teleconferences and \n \nprofessional development. Special \n \nstatewide \"town hall meetings\" can be \n \nheld in one of the large studios \n \noffered at the new facility enabling information dissemination. Training performed this way can assist every state agency and the constituent groups they serve in reducing travel expenses, traffic and air pollution as well as time away from the office and ensuring that everyone has the same information at the same time. Tapes are made of the sessions/programs and can be shared with those unable to attend or with new individuals when they join an organization. An example of this effort_ is the Y2K awareness campaign Georgia Public Broadcasting is currently producing in conjunction with the Department of Community Affairs. These programs provide timely, critical information to local community and county governments around Georgia in an easily accessible manner and format. In addition to video capabilities, Georgia Public Broadcasting is able to distribute data via satellite to sites across the state and the nation. These data streams-which can include program schedules, bulletin boards, calendar information, newsletter, teacher's guides, lesson plans, Quality Core Curriculum correlation material, \n \nstudent activity materials, public \n \nservice material, emergency \n \ninformation--ensure equal access to \n \nimportant information in a timely, \n \nefficient and economical manner to \n \nall areas of the state. \n \nWith every public school, \n \nregional library, college and technical \n \ninstitution statewide equipped with \n \nsatellite technology, these entities \n \nhave the capability to receive \n \neducational programming from over \n \n25 satellites. GPTC also purchased a \n \nsatellite transponder, allowing the \n \nstate to broadcast educational \n \nprogramming to every Georgia school \n \nand any other institution statewide \n \nthat has a satellite dish. Distance \n \nlearning programming has expanded \n \neducational opportunities for Georgia \n \nstudents. The Governor recommends \n \nfor F.Y. 2000, $16,266,955 in general \n \nfunds for personnel and operating \n \nexpenses and $2,000,000 in lottery \n \nfunds for the purchase of additional \n \neducational programming.

Other duties include the registration and licensing of motor vehicles and the regulation of tobacco and alcoholic beverages. In a typical year, the Department of Revenue processes over 15 million documents, maintains millions of taxpayer accounts and registers over 7 million motor vehicles. \nTAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, the \nDepartment collected a total of $11.2 billion in revenues. The major taxes and fees collected by the Department are: \n Individual and Corporate Income Taxes.  Sales and Use Taxes.  Motor Fuel Taxes.  Alcoholic Beverage Taxes.  Tobacco Taxes.  Miscellaneous Taxes and Fees. The Department also collects about $2.3 billion in taxes designated for local entities. The first of these is a 1% sales tax in Fulton and DeKalb Counties that is used as dedicated revenue for the construction and operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). The other 1% sales tax designated for local entities are the local option sales tax, the special purpose tax, and the educational and homestead optional sales taxes. All but 6 counties have a local option sales tax designated for county operations. This tax remains in effect until the voters decide to remove it. The special purpose tax differs from the local option tax because it remains in effect for up to 5 years. The special purpose tax is in effect in 134 counties and is used primarily for road and capital improvements. The Homestead Option Sales and Use Tax Act, which became effective July 1, 1997, allows a county which had not imposed a local option sales tax as of July 1, 1997 to levy, with voter approval, an additional 1% homestead sales tax. The funds a county collects from the 1% homestead sales tax must be used for non-school system capital improvements and services within that county. Presently, of the five counties eligible for the 1% homestead sales tax, DeKalb County is the lone county imposing this sales tax. The Act also permits a county to levy an additional 1% educational sales tax. The revenue a county receives from the 1% educational sales tax can only be spent on capital improvements and bond retirement pertaining to that county's school system. By April 1999, 116 counties will have adopted the 1% educational sales tax. \nMOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND LICENSING Every motor vehicle, trailer and truck tractor, with certain exceptions, must be registered through the appropriate \n \ncounty tag agent's office, which the County Tax Collector or County Tax Commissioner. The county tag agent also collects the ad valorem tax and processes applications for tags and/or renewal decals for motor vehicles. The Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division issues and maintains the file system for titles and registrations of over 7 million vehicles in the state. \nREGULATION OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO The Department of Revenue enforces all laws and regulations concerning the manufacture, possession, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes within the state. The Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Division has the following duties: \n Enforces laws and regulations concerning alcohol and tobacco products and taxes. \n Inspects alcohol beverage licensees for compliance with state laws and regulations. \n Investigates all liquor license applicants.  Confiscates contraband alcohol and tobacco \nproducts.  Assists and coordinates law enforcement actions \nwith other enforcement agencies. \nORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the Department of \nRevenue has 11 divisions reporting to the State Revenue Commissioner. Each of the divisions has a role in the administration of tax laws and the collection of taxes and fees. The divisions are: \n Administrative Division.  Internal Administration Division.  Central Audit Division.  Field Services Division.  Information Systems Division.  Motor Vehicle Division.  Taxpayer Accounting Division.  Income Tax Division.  Alcohol and Tobacco Division.  Property Tax Division.  Sales and Use Tax Division. \nATTACHED AGENCY The State Board of Equalization is attached to the \nDepartment of Revenue for administrative purposes only. The board provides for appointment and retention of hearing officers whose function is to hear and determine appeals by local governing authorities on issues relating to the disapproval of county tax digests by the Commissioner of Revenue. \nAUTHORITY Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n522 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Revenue is responsible for the collection of $11 billion in taxes, processing 15 million tax documents, issuing almost $1 billion in tax refunds, and distributing over $1.5 billion to local governments each year. The pie graph on the next page depicts the different types of taxes collected by the Department of Revenue and the percent each type of tax is in regard to total tax collections. The state's ability to deliver government services to its citizens and visitors depends on the department's ability to unerringly administer the state's tax laws. \nRecognizing the importance of the department's functions, Governor Barnes will continue the implementation of the \"Blueprint for Modernization\" which will stabilize systems and enhance the department's management and tax systems. To date, $31,238,790 has been committed to the process. In order to continue the program at an aggressive rate, the Governor has recommended $10,551,163 in the F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget and $4,902,668 in the F.Y. 2000 Budget. \n \nMODERNIZATION \n \nThe \n \n\"Blueprint \n \nfor \n \nModernization\" contains specific, \n \ntargeted solutions in the form of a \n \ncomprehensive plan that will \n \nmodernize some functional aspect in \n \nevery division in the department. The \n \ndepartment is actively instituting \n \nelements from each of the plan's five \n \ndistinct parts. \n \nFOCUSING ON THE CUSTOMER \n \nThe department has initiated \n \nseveral programs to improve \n \ncustomer service. A taxpayer \n \nadvocate has been retained to resolve \n \ntaxpayer issues that fail to reach \n \nresolution through conventional \n \navenues in the department. The first \n \nphase of a customer call center with \n \ncomputer based call distribution and \n \ninteractive voice response that will \n \nassist taxpayers with informational \n \ninquiries has been recommended in \n \nthe F.Y. 1999 Amended Budget. \n \nTaxpayer education materials have been produced for both sales tax and income tax. MANAGING TECHNOLOGY \nThe department has improved the manner in which information technology projects are aged and monitored, including the new sales tax system and the new motor vehicle registration and title information system that will be operational in September 1999. \nThe department has developed effective plans in order to address Year 2000 concerns. IMPROVING PERFORMANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY \nThe department implemented a program management unit that monitors all major modernization projects to ensure that the projects remain on schedule, do not expand past predetermined budgetary constraints and meet all the prescribed requirements. \nAdditionally, the department contracted with a private firm to conduct an independent quality assurance review of the sales tax system and the motor vehicle system. A strategic information technology plan was developed to guide all future technology projects, enhancements, and equipment acquisitions. \nThe department contracted with three private collection agencies to assist in the collection of delinquent taxes. The agencies are compensated through a commission that is based on a percentage of the delinquent taxes that the agency collects as stated in O.C.G.A. 48-2-6; therefore, no state funds are required to retain the services of the private collection agencies. The ultimate goal of the program is to have the private collection agencies collect accounts where taxpayers have not responded to reasonable collection endeavors by the department. \nIn October 1996, the state began phasing out the 4% state sales tax on certain foods and beverages sold for home consumption. This was the largest sales tax reduction in the \n \nhistory of the state. The Sales Tax Division coordinated efforts to educate consumers and retail dealers in the state as to how the sales tax reduction would be implemented through tax seminars, promulgation of tax regulations and revision of tax return forms. As of October 1998, the final I% sales tax on certain foods and beverages for home consumption was repealed. The public will realize savings of nearly $563 million through F.Y. 2000. \nLastly, the graph below shows the funds that the department distributed to local entities during the past three fiscal years. ORGANIZING FOR RESULTS \nThe department is transitioning from a tax type organization to a functional organization, which means that it will be reorganized along functional lines. Key components of the reorganization completed are: securing an Assistant Commissioner for Technology, elevating the head of the Motor Vehicle Division to Deputy Commissioner for Motor Vehicles, and adding and/or strengthening support units of the department. REDESIGNING THE PROCESS \nThe advent and employment of electronic technology has had and will continue to have a major impact on how taxpayers and the department interact with one another. The department expanded its Internet web page to allow taxpayers access to various tax forms and publications. During the first six months of F.Y. 1999 over 27,000 tax forms and publications were downloaded from the website. Other areas that utilize electronic technology include electronic filing of income tax, electronic tag transmission from the counties and imaging of all types of tax documentation. \nYEAR 2000 An average of 54,000 pieces of mail is processed and millions of tax dollars are collected every day. In order to perform these massive daily processing functions the department \n \n523 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services \n \nis dependent on automated systems that must be made Year 2000 compliant which entails ensuring that a number of functions that are predominately date sensitive be able to correctly distinguish and calculate information properly based on dates. Many of the department's older mainframe applications such as those that handle financial calculations, tax assessments, tax penalties and receivables aging were written to store dates using only two digits to represent the year. The new century requires that systems be able to differentiate the year 1900 from 2000, both of which would be represented as \"00\" by software programs that are not Year 2000 compliant. Date calculations will also be affected. Non-compliant software may calculate the difference between 01/01/99 and 01/01/00 as negative 99 years instead of 1 year. The adverse impact inaccurate calculations could have is immeasurable; therefore, the \n \ndepartment's information technology staff is performing critical remediation work on all systems affected by the Year 2000 problem by: \n Rewriting applications that have modernization plans and target dates that precede the system's Year 2000 failure date. \n Rewriting applications that have technology so archaic that remediation is not possible and the systems are still critical to the agency's function. \n Remediating applications where a rewrite is planned for modernization, but cannot be completed before the known failure date. \n Remediating applications where no rewrite is planned. \n Replacing applications with off the shelf software wherever possible. \nBy implementing the abovereferenced efforts, not only will the \n \napplications be corrected but the underlying technologies that those applications use will too. \n \nRETURNS PROCESSING \n \nThe department receives and \n \nprocesses millions of tax returns and \n \npayments from individuals and \n \nbusinesses. In F.Y. 1998, the \n \ndepartment processed 3.3 million \n \nindividual tax returns, 205,000 \n \ncorporate tax returns, 1.6 million \n \nwithholding returns, and 1.5 million \n \nsales tax returns. \n \nTraditionally, the department has \n \nprocessed these returns and payments \n \nin a labor and paper intensive manner \n \nthat is cumbersome and time- \n \nconsuming. \n \nBy implementing \n \ninformation technology initiatives \n \ndesigned to streamline and eliminate \n \nseveral of the labor intensive steps of \n \nthe returns and payment processes, \n \nthe department will be able to \n \nimprove compliance, ease the burdens \n \nof reporting tax collections and speed \n \nTobacco Tax 1% \nAlcohol Taxes 1% \n \nDepartment of Revenue Sources of Tax Collections \nTotal F.y. 1998 Collections $11.2 Billion \nIndividual Income Tax 47% \n \n\\ Miscellaneous Taxes \n1% \n524 \n \n__ Corporate Income Tax 7% \nMotor Fuel Tax 4% \nMotor Vehicle Fees 2% \n \n $2.5 \n$2.0 \nI'\": $1.5 \nS \n= $1.0 \n$0.5 \n$0.0 \n \nDEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services \nLocal Dollars Distributed (Billions) FY 1996 - FY 1998 \n$2.4 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nthe issuance of distributions. The expansion of electronic fund \ntransfer, direct deposit of refunds and electronic filing will greatly enhance the current tax systems. Electronic fund transfer provides for the immediate transfer of funds from a taxpayer's account to the department; thus, eliminating the cycle time between receipt of payments and the depositing of those payments. Direct deposit allows taxpayers to have their returns depositing directly into their accounts. In F.Y. 1998, over 100,000 taxpayers chose direct deposit as their method of receiving a refund. Processing returns that are submitted electronically is the most costefficient manner. The cost of processing returns manually is 62% greater than processing returns filed electronically and the error rate for electronically filed returns is 1% as compared to a 17% error rate for traditional mail returns. \nJOINT ELECTRONIC FILING Georgia, in addition to 33 other \nstates, is a member of the Joint \n \nFederaVState Electronic Filing program. As a program participant, Georgia full-year residents receiving refunds may file both their federal and state returns electronically with the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service functions as a conduit and transmits the state returns electronically to the department. In F.Y. 1998, the department experienced a 30% increase in electronically filed returns over F.Y. 1997. More than 486,000 returns were filed electronically, making Georgia number three in volume nationally out of the states participating in the program. \nThis program is very popular with tax professionals and taxpayers because returns are filed more efficiently, and taxpayers receive their refunds in less time than if they filed their returns through the mail. \nThese efforts will reduce current and future manpower requirements, provide convenient service, improve efficiency, reduce errors and improve compliance. \nThe graph on the following page \n \ndepicts the number of local sales taxes imposed by the counties during the last three fiscal years. \n \nWITHHOLDING TAXES \n \nHouse Bill 479, passed during the \n \n1997 legislative session of the \n \nGeneral Assembly, incorporated \n \nseveral recommendations from the \n \n\"Blueprint for Modernization.\" The \n \nbill affected employer's withholding \n \nby allowing quarterly filing of \n \nreturns, and by requiring withholding \n \nstatements to be submitted to the \n \ndepartment annually. \n \nThe \n \ndepartment's new withholding tax \n \nprocessing system became effective \n \nJanuary I, 1999. \n \nINTEGRATED TAG AND TITLE SYSTEM \nMotor vehicle tag and title operations are the most regular and direct points of contact that each vehicle owner in Georgia has with county and state government. Motor Vehicles processes nearly 2.4 million title applications, 7 million tag registrations and collects $234 million \n \n525 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE - Strategies and Services \n \nin revenue annually. Currently tag registration and title application are two separate functions that include many manual steps. Once the Georgia Registration and Title Information System, GRATIS, an online integrated tag and title information system is implemented in September 1999, more than 75% of registrations and title application will be processed online in county tag and title offices. \nThe new system will integrate the two processes in one system and the process will be decentralized and \n \nintegrated---data would only be input once, the data would be updated on a real time basis, all intended users such as counties, dealers, lenders and insurance companies would do so online. \nResults include faster processing, improved customer service, more effective tracking of all transactions and increased integrity and accuracy of the database-a boon for law enforcement officials. \nThe fiscal impact of the new system is significant. The department strongly believes that savings of up to \n \n75% can be achieved through functions being eliminated and reductions in the annual operating costs. \nAs of January 1999, 120 of 159 counties agreed to fully participate in the new system. All counties will have at least one GRATIS terminal. However, those not participating in GRATIS will continue to transfer their tag and title information to DOR as they do now, by mail and electronically, but not directly into the Motor Vehicle Division's database. \n \nLocal Sales Taxes Imposed in Georgia Counties FY 1996 - FY 1998 \n \n1998 \n \n398 \n \n1997 \n \n1996 \n \no \n \n50 \n \n100 \n \n150 \n \n200 \n \n250 \n \n300 \n \n350 \n \n400 \n \n450 \n \n526 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nTAX ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Administer and enforce state tax laws and provide taxpayer assistance in order to maximize and promptly collect revenues to help fund state and local government programs. \n \nGOAL 1: Taxpayers and tax administrators will be provided with the training, assistance, and information needed to promote their understanding of the tax laws. \nDESIRED RESULT la: At least 95% of taxpayers surveyed who sought assistance at regional offices will agree or strongly agree that the experience was positive and that they received courteous and prompt customer service providing with a better understanding of the tax laws. \n \n.q~~ti'~~RijWi~~\u003c \n \nW,~:,:,:;,:,:\"p,:,:,':,:,:i,:,:,t:,:,:~,:,:,J:,:,:{,:,:,~:,:\"\"@. ~:'#a~t~]($~~l~tm~jf#~d~':tn#mt~\u0026~@:#':':'~:':\".\"\"\"M\"\"\"~\"\"\"~\",:,I:,:,':\",~:,:\"H\"\".',\".,.i, ~.~? \nj . ~Iiitirilit  :16i!jllt~lt ~~!{I~t;Mt \n \nN/A \n \nI 95% \n \n95% \n \nThe Department of Revenue did not collect data in F.Y. 1998.

The commission's primary responsibilities include: \n Overseeing the administration of the commission. \n Coordinating Georgia's 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. \n Providing educational programs on the conservation of state soil and water resources. \n Developing and implementing conservation programs. \n Reviewing and approving watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. \n Assisting and guiding districts and other entities with provisions of the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975. \n Providing information on the prevention of agricultural non-point pollution. \nIn 1998, the commission conducted 103 erosion and sediment control workshops, and was successful in preventing the erosion of over 1.1 million tons of soil through its conservation programs. The commission reviewed 8,561 erosion control plans under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975. Overall, 1.125 million acres of Georgia land received conservation treatment. \nCommission members are appointed by the Governor to serve 5 year terms. There are 5 commission members in \n \nall, 1 of whom is designated chairman. Commission members act in an advisory capacity to guide and direct commission activities. \nThe commission has 2 divisions: \nCOMMISSION AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION This division is responsible for ensuring that the \npolicies and programs of the commission are carried out. Its activities include providing administrative, clerical and limited technical support to the 40 State Conservation Districts and their 370 district supervisors. \nDISTRICT REGIONAL AND OFFICE OPERATIONS This division is primarily responsible for providing \nfield support to districts; providing technical assistance to landowners and governmental units; reviewing erosion and sediment control plans submitted for land-disturbing activities; and assisting groups and individuals in urban and rural settings in applying conservation practices. The division also provides demonstration projects, tours, and seminars on recycling, composting, agricultural non-point pollution, and other conservation practices. \nAUTHORITY Title 2 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n552 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nGeorgia's total area consists of roughly 36.7 million acres ofland and I million acres of water. The programs and services provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission help protect Georgia's landscape and ensure that it remains a valuable resource to its inhabitants. Increased urban and rural development, coupled with man's concern for the environment, necessitates the state's efforts to conserve its natural resources. \nDeveloping and implementing conservation practices are the basis for most of the commission's programs and services. Commission technicians provide assistance to landowners and local governments, review erosion control plans, and protect soil by using resource management systems. \nRESOURCE SPECIALIST PROGRAM \nThe Resource Specialist program was begun in F.Y. 1997 to replace the County Conservation Grant program, which had been established in 1987 to help federal farm aid recipients meet the requirements of the 1985 Food Security Act. When the County Conservation Grant program successfully met its original goals in 1995, the commission envisioned the Resource Specialist program as a more cost-effective way to provide statewide technical assistance. \nIn F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998, 3 resource specialists were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome, Statesboro, and Milledgeville regional offices. In F.Y. 1999, funds were provided to create 2 additional positions in the commission's Atlanta and Albany regional offices. For F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends funding for the last resource specialist position, to be placed in the commission's Athens regional office. These 6 specialists will review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste manage- \n \nment plans, and provide technical support to the commission's regional representatives. \nIn the past, funding for the Resource Specialist program has come from the redirection of funding from the County Conservation Grant program. In recognition of the fact that the Resource Specialist program will now provide statewide coverage, the Governor recommends redirecting a total of $62,654 from the County Conservation Grant program, leaving $58,846 to allow for a gradual phaseout of all County Conservation Grant program activities during F.Y. 2000. \nWATERSHEDS The Soil and Water Conservation \nDistricts are sponsors on many of Georgia's Category I (failure may cause loss of life) Watershed Dams, constructed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Flood Retardation programs. County or city governments sometimes co-sponsor these dams with the district. \nIn prior years, these dams were exempt from Georgia's Safe Dams Act. However, this exemption expires on January I, 2000. Since 1991, the Soil and Water Conservation Commission and U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service have been working with the districts, EPD Safe Dams personnel, and local units of government to bring these Category I dams into compliance with the Safe Dams Act. \nEstimates for maintenance and minor repairs range from $700 to $50,000 per dam. Of the 139 structures identified as requITmg maintenance upgrades, 22 are now complete, and an additional 34 are under contract with the appropriate local government entity. In addition, plans for upgrades on 9 of the structures are under review by the EPD. Once maintenance upgrades are complete, a dam is turned over to local governments to maintain. \nThe cost of major upgrades ranges from $300,000 to $1.5 million per dam. Most dams require detailed \n \nhydrologic evaluations, and some require extensive design for major structural upgrades. Of the 10 dams identified as needing major structural upgrades, construction has been completed on I, and is well underway at another. The remaining 8 dams are still in various pre-construction phases. Two previous bond issues totaling $3.84 million have been dedicated to these structural upgrades. \nThe F.Y. 2000 budget recommends providing $185,000 to continue maintenance upgrades. While the commission has not requested capital outlay funds for structural upgrades this year, it has submitted a projection of the funding needed to complete the remaining upgrades in the years to come. \nEROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL \nDamage from urban erosion is difficult to assess. While figures are not widely available, erosion from denuded construction sites on Georgia soils can exceed 200 tons of topsoil per acre per year. \nIn 1975, the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act was passed to control serious soil erosion from development sites. The act requires that all cities and counties adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances. Conservation districts review the erosion and sediment control plans submitted by these cities and counties. Districts also develop Memoranda of Understanding with local governments, who then issue land disturbing permits. \nAlthough the primary focus of the erosion and sedimentation program is plan review, the commission is involved in other activities. The agency's erosion and sediment control specialists conduct training programs, assist counties with ordinance updates, and conduct seminars. Its Handbook for Erosion and Sediment Control is an accepted reference standard for erosion and sedimentation implementation In Georgia. \n \n553 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nSOIL CONSERVATION \n \nPURPOSE: Conserve and protect soil, water, and related natural resources by encouraging the application of proper soil erosion and sedimentation practices. \n \nGOAL 1: Maintain the amount of soil lost on pasture and forest lands at an acceptable level. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: The amount of soil lost on pasture and forest lands during F.Y. 2000 will be maintained at the acceptable level of 1 ton per acre annually. \n \nI ton/acre \n \nI ton/acre \n \nI ton/acre \n \nI million fewer tons \n \n1.15 million fewer tons \n \n1.25 million fewer tons \n \nGOAL 2: The amount of soil lost as a result of land-disturbing activities will be reduced. \nDESIRED RESULT 2a: 1.25 million fewer tons of soil will be lost due to land disturbing activities in F.Y. 2000, as compared to 1.15 million fewer tons in F.Y. 1999. \n \nGOAL 3: Increase the number of cropland acres that meet tolerable levels of soil loss. \nDESIRED RESULT 3a: 130,340 fewer acres of cropland will exceed tolerable levels of soil loss in F.Y. 2000, as compared to 124,133 fewer acres in F.Y. 1999. \n \n125,000 fewer acres \n \n124,133 fewer acres \n \n130,340 fewer acres \n \n~:~::::::::::::: \niH~jijB.S.iW)vWWW:m;mIF\\::PWlr~g~WF? \n \n1.8% \n \n2.5% \n \n2.75% \n \nIThese figures are based on an estimated total of 40,000 Georgia farmers \n \nGOAL 4: Georgia's farmers will voluntarily implement best management practices. \nDESIRED RESULT 4a: The percentage of Georgia farmers who voluntarily implement best management practices will increase .25 percentage points, from 2.5% (1,000) in F.Y. 1999 to 2.75% (1,100) in F.Y. 2000. \n \nGOAL 5: Local government authorities will adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances in accordance with Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975, as amended. \n \nDESIRED RESULT 5a: The number of local government authorities that are not in compliance with the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975 will decrease by 3.75%, from 315 in F.Y. 1999 to 303 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n326 \n \n315 \n \n303 \n \n554 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nWATERSHED DAM MODIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE \nPURPOSE: To ensure that all 350 soil and water conservation district-sponsored watershed dams are in compliance with the Georgia Safe Dams Act of 1978, as amended, to protect downstream people and infrastructure. \n \nGOAL 1: All Soil Conservation watershed dams that would cause loss of human life and infrastructure upon failure (Category 1) will comply with the provisions of the Georgia Safe Dams Act by 2025. \nDESIRED RESULT la: The number of dams not in compliance will decrease by 27%, from 98 in F.Y. 1999 to 72 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n121 \n \n98 \n \n72 \n \nProgram Fund Allocations \n \nF.Y. 1999 APPROPRIATIONS \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \nAGENCY PROGRAMS \n \n1.

Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations, and the Governor's Scholarship Program for the Department of Education. \nGEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION \nThe Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Education Loan Act. In F.Y. 1998, over 69,855 new loans for eligible students and parents were guaranteed by the corporation. The value of those loans exceeded $222 million. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $34 million. Approximately $15.5 million was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process. \nGEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY The Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit \npublic corporation of the state, is responsible for providing \n \nstudent financial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In F.Y. 1998, the authority disbursed over $32 million in state general funds and agency revenues for over 32,000 students and over $185,000,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 138,000 students. \nThe authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Education Loan Program. In F.Y. 1998, over $68 million in student loans were originated by the authority and the total value of loans serviced exceeded $363 million. \nThe authority has the responsibility of performing all management, supervisory, clerical and administrative functions required by the corporation and the commission. The authority also provides administrative and operational support services, at no state cost, to the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC), which is attached for administrative purposes. \nATTACHED AGENCY The Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education \nCommission is responsible for regulating private postsecondary schools operating in this state in order to protect the financial investments of Georgians participating in their programs. \nAUTHORITY O.C.G.A. 20-3-230 et.seq., 20-3-250 et.seq., 20-3-260 \net.seq. and 20-3-310 et.seq. \n \n563 \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION Strategies and Services \n \nThe continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the degree to which educational opportunities are provided to all citizens. It is in the public interest to sustain our public and private postsecondary institutions because of their value in promoting the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Georgians. \nThe Georgia educational loan program was created to both expand educational opportunities available to all Georgians and to ensure the continued economic viability of our postsecondary institutions. In addition to administering the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), Georgia also provides state funds to support service-cancelable loans and a variety of scholarship and grant programs. \nFEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation administers federally guaranteed education loan programs. Through these programs, participating commercial lenders, as well as the Georgia Student Finance Authority, make educational loans to students and the parents of students who need financial assistance to continue their education after high school. \nFor these loans, the corporation serves as the \"guarantor\" to the lenders. If for any reason the borrower does not repay the lending institution, the corporation pays the lender an amount prescribed by federal regulation and assumes the obligation for collecting the remaining debt. Since these programs are federally supported, the federal government will reimburse the corporation for most of the defaults which are purchased from lenders. \nThe federally guaranteed loan programs include the Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, and the Federal Plus Loan. \n \nSubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The loan amount depends on the student's financial need, the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school, during the grace period and any deferment periods. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school. \nUnsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A non-need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughoutthe nation. The borrower is responsible for all interest which accrues from the date the money is disbursed. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school. \nFederal \"Plus\" Loan Program-Provides loans to parents of dependent undergraduate or graduate students to help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. Repayment of the loan plus interest must begin within 60 days of receiving the funds. \nSTATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Student Finance Authority is the legal entity which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose \"bank\") for about one-third of the student loans in Georgia. The authority provides loans to help students and parents meet the costs of higher education. As a FFELP lender, the authority makes loans to students and parents that are repayable in regular monthly installments and offers service cancellation benefits in Georgia on eligible Federal Stafford loans. Service cancelable loans help students preparing for professions in which \n564 \n \nthere is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their loans by working in their approved field in Georgia. \nState funds appropriated to the commission as \"Guaranteed Educational Loans\" are paid to the authority to support this program. The authority expects to make 543 loans in F.Y. 2000 with the $4,510,455 recommended. \nGRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS \nState, federal and other funds are appropriated to the commission in several unique object classes to support the grant and scholarship programs of the authority. These programs are as follows: \nTuition Equalization Grant--A state-funded grant program providing an annual grant to each eligible Georgia student attending an approved private college. The recommendation of $25,735,636 for F.Y. 2000 will provide $1,000 grant awards to approximately 25,735 students. \nLaw Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grant (LEPD)--Provides educational grants of up to $2,000 per academic year to the dependent children of a Georgia law enforcement officer, fireman or prison guard who has been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. In F.Y. 2000, $81,700 in state funds will provide approximately 38 grants. \nNorth Georgia College ROTC Grant--Provides a state scholarship of $1,500 per year to each full-time Georgia student enrolled in military ROTC training at North Georgia College. Up to 214 students will receive these grants in F.Y. 2000 with the $320,625 recommended. \nOsteopathic Medical Loan-Provides service-cancelable loans to Georgians accepted for enrollment at an eligible college or university of osteopathic medicine. The loans are based on need with a maximum of $10,000 per year for up to 4 years. A \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nreCipient may cancel the loan by practicing primary care osteopathic medicine in a medically underserved area of this state. The $95,000 in state funds recommended for F.Y. 2000 will provide loans to 9 students. \nGeorgia Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to students to attend North Georgia College and State University. Thirty-three high school senior are selected each year to receive full 4-year scholarships to North Georgia College. Students must meet strict academic requirements to be eligible and must agree to serve at least 4 years in the Georgia National Guard after graduation. The commission expects to serve 125 students with the $767,950 in state funds recommended for F.Y. 2000. \nGeorgia Military CollegelNorth Georgia College Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to students who graduate from Georgia Military College to transfer to North Georgia College and State University and receive a scholarship for two additional years. The commission expects to serve 10 students with the $65,075 in state funds recommended in F.Y. 2000. \nWork Incentive for Student \n \nEducation (WISE)--Provides a student an opportunity to earn up to $1,500 per academic year, with funds credited toward college expenses, for working on campus. The program will continue at three University System institutions and three private colleges and will serve 342 students in F.Y. 2000. \nThe authority administers 2 scholarship programs for the Georgia Department of Education: \nRobert C. Byrd Scholarship-Available to Georgia students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement. The program is intended to promote and recognize student excellence. Byrd Scholars, selected by the Georgia Department of Education, receive a one-time award of $1 ,500 as entering freshmen for their fIrst year of college study at an eligible U. S. institution. \nGovernor's Scholarship--Provides an annual $1,575 award to Georgia students selected as Georgia Scholars, STAR students, high school valedictorians and salutatorians that go on to attend eligible colleges and universities in this state. \n \nState Grant Loan and Scholarship Programs \nFiscal Year 2000 Recommended \n \nProgram \n \nStudents Amount \n \nTuition Equalization Grants \n \n25,735 \n \nGuaranteed Educational Loans \n \n543 \n \nGeorgia Military Scholarships \n \n125 \n \nGMCINGC Military Scholarships \n \n10 \n \nNorth Georgia College ROTC \n \n214 \n \nOsteopathic Medical Loans \n \n9 \n \nLaw Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grants 38 \n \n$25,735,636 4,510,455 767,950 65,075 320,625 95,000 81,700 \n \nHOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Helping Outstanding Pupils \nEducationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program was initiated in F.Y. 1994 with an appropriation of lottery proceeds. The program, designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students, provides scholarships to all students who meet certain academic requirements, and who attend public colleges, public technical institutions or eligible private colleges in this state. \nIn the next few years, graduates planning to attend a state college or get a HOPE scholarship will face three rising standards and they are: 1) Starting with the class of 2000-today's II th graders--a grade point average to qualify for HOPE will come only from core academic subjects (English/language arts, math, social studies, science and foreign language) instead of all courses 2) Starting with the class of 200 1-today's lOth graders--a fourth year of mathematics will be required to graduate with a college prep diploma that is needed for admission. 3) Also starting with the class of 2001, a formula called the Freshman Index, combining a student's grade point average with SAT scores, will be used to divert applicants below a certain minimum to the state's two-year colleges. The Freshman Index will only be calculated on core academic courses. Students are aware of this higher standard and have been preparing for 5-6 years and already performance is improving. \nThe commission expects to award approximately 156,348 scholarships with the $193,886,482 recommended. \nThe commission also administers the lottery funded Teacher Scholarships ($3,500,000), Promise Scholarships ($1,095,000), Georgia Military Scholarships ($800,844), Law Enforcement Dependents Grants ($215,000), and Engineer Scholarships ($600,000). \n \n565 \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nREGULATION OF NONPUBLIC POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS \nThe Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission regulates certain proprietary schools and postsecondary education institutions operating in the state, including public and private schools outside the state which offer Georgians degree or certificate programs by mail, telecommunications or other means.

With the Savannah Tech and Atlanta Tech conversions to state ownership in F.Y. 1998, the board now oversees 32 state-governed technical institutes (many of which have satellite campuses). In addition, there are 4 technical education divisions housed within 4 of the University System colleges and 1 locallygoverned public technical institute. \nThe Department of Technical and Adult Education plans and administers state postsecondary technical training at less than the baccalaureate degree level in a unified system of technical institutes. It provides opportunities for students to learn a skill or upgrade an existing skill to keep pace with technology and competition in a world market. Students can pursue lifelong education and training, basic skills and technician training for existing employment opportunities, as well as customized training responsive to the needs of business and industry for a technically trained and highly competitive workforce. Students attending technical institutes have the option of short-term programs as well as courses of study leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. These programs can range in duration from a few weeks to 2 years. The department is divided into 5 functional units described below. \nADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services function provides support \nand management for the 32 state-governed and 1 locallygoverned technical institutes in the areas of budgeting, accounting, electronic data processing and other technologies, personnel, public information, facilities management, and policy planning. It also provides evaluation, curriculum development, student support, and certification and technical assistance related to state and federal programs and policies. \nTECHNICAL EDUCATION The Technical Education function provides assistance \nto the technical institutes and college technical programs through institute and program standards; surveys and needs assessments; institute and program evaluations; curriculum design; professional development for staff and faculty; institutional effectiveness systems; and technical aid \n \nregarding admissions, scholarships, [mancial aid, and federal programs. \nQUICK START Quick Start provides employee training services to new \nand expanding industries at no cost. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts by serving as a state training incentive. Supported by DTAE's network of technical institutes, Quick Start has provided training for new jobs in virtually every technology required by Georgia's manufacturing and service sectors. \nADULT LITERACY The Office of Adult Literacy is responsible for offering \nadult basic education and literacy programs around the state including the General Education Development (GED) diploma program. It is the largest literacy provider for other state agencies and provides a variety of programs. The office is also the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education Adult Literacy funds. Through its network of 37 service delivery areas around the state, the office provides literacy services to every county in Georgia. \nPUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES The purpose of the public library system in Georgia is \nto provide assistance, information, and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. The Office of Public Library Services (OPLS) assists public libraries in providing access to information, library materials, and enriching learning activities for people of all ages. The goals of the public library system are to: \n provide access to all types and forms of information;  administer state and federal funds;  provide consultation and advice to the library community and local users; and  provide continuing education opportunities for library staff, trustees, and local users. The Office of Public Library Services was transferred by legislative act effective July 1, 1996 from the Department of Education to the Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Office of Public Library Services provides assistance and information to 57 publIc library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition to operating the state's Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. The Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped provides public library services for users who are unable to see or otherwise use standard print materials. This library and its network of 13 sub-regional libraries for the blind and physically handicapped are the only sources of recorded and Braille materials for these users. \nAUTHORITY Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n589 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nBecause of increasing demand, the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) has focused on new construction for many years. As a result, every Georgian today has a technical and adult education facility within easy driving distance. With the emphasis on new facilities, older facilities had insufficient funds needed for repairs and renovations, and maintenance was often deferred. At the same time, with rapid changes in technology, equipment became obsolete sooner. This year Governor Barnes is shifting the focus from new facilities to improvements in existing infrastructure. He is also putting the support and processes in place to make strategic decisions for the future, when Georgia's workers and employers will have to rely even more on technical education to meet their needs. The only new infrastructure element in which he is investing is the Georgia Virtual Technical Institute, which represents a new means of meeting future training needs for workers and employers. \nINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS \nThe top priority for the F.Y. 1999 amended and the F.Y. 2000 budgets is the upgrade of existing infrastructure. The department has identified $45 million worth of obsolete equipment. This is a significant problem for an agency whose task it is to provide students with cutting-edge technical skills. The Governor recommends $12.5 million in lottery funds to begin to address this problem. In addition, almost $30 million for PC replacement and upgrades should be allocated on a priority basis to DTAE as part of the Y2K package in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget. However, even with regular investments in new equipment, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with or stay ahead of business since computers and other technology have rapidly decreasing lifecycles. \n \nThe F.Y. 1999 amended budget provides $6,615,000 for major repairs to address critical needs over $10,000, the first phase of a proposed threeyear repairs program. Projects range from roof repairs, to boiler and HVAC replacements. An additional $330,000 in general funds in F.Y. 2000 establishes an object class for minor repairs and maintenance. The intent is to fund this at an increasing level so that institutes will be able to handle minor repairs and maintenance on an on-going basis in the future. \nThe F.Y. 1999 amended budget also provides $3,970,000 in bonds to support major renovations at DeKalb ($2,183,371), Columbus ($749,829), and Pickens ($1,036,800). It further provides $40,000 for Coosa Valley, $25,000 for Albany, and $50,000 for South Georgia to reevaluate the cost and functional viability of new construction versus renovation or retrofitting. An improved facility needs assessment system should help institutes make those kinds of decisions earlier in the process. \nIn an effort to improve state capital management, there is a move toward funding predesign prior to making decisions about design and construction. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes funds for predesign of 5 DTAE new construction projects at Griffin, Atlanta, Moultrie, Macon, and Carroll Tech. There is also funding for a campus master plan for DeKalb Tech. \nFuture new construction projects will benefit from the F.Y. 1999 amended investment in a system for facility needs assessment and planning. It should lead to the development of long-term multiyear plans, taking into account statewide and local/regional needs as well as the impact of new technology. \nIn addition to predesign funds for new construction projects, the F.Y. 2000 budget includes $2,500,000 in operating funds and $6,064,243 in equipment funds for the opening of new and retrofitted facilities started under the Miller Administration. \n \nSYSTEM SUPPORT The expansion of the state's \ntechnical education system has led to increased demands on central office staff, charged with overseeing and guiding the system. Requests for new facilities and programs require indepth analysis that takes into account both local and state needs and future directions. This requires considerable staff effort along with procedures and systems that can aid decision-making. In addition, in the face of new technology, there is an increased demand for technical support from local institutes. \nThe F.Y. 1999 amended and the F.Y. 2000 budgets provide funds to support improved information gathering, analysis, and decisionmaking. There is $175,000 in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to update the 1995 facility study conducted by Georgia Tech and to develop a dynamic system or model that can be updated annually by the department, instead of a \"snapshot-in-time\" report that is obsolete a year out. The system should yield information that can be used for needs assessments, facilities planning, and decision-making. Work will also begin to establish a capital outlay process that spans several years and includes needs assessment (both at the local and state levels), predesign, design, and construction. To the extent that they are needed, guidelines may be developed to assist with prioritization and the determination when a project is ready to move from one phase to the next. Standards for similar type facilities will also be established for use throughout the state. \nA similar system is needed to establish program needs, and to evaluate program requests. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes $229,196 to fund 4 positions to start this process and bring it in-house. These positions will work closely with industry, labor market information, and schools to guide curriculum development at the state and local levels. Another $84,744 in the F.Y. 2000 budget adds \n \n590 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \n2 positions to the administrative division to provide assistance to local institutes, and improve the information content and flow between the institutes and the central office. \nPerhaps most critical is the addition of 4 professional and 1 clerical position to improve the agency's ability to collect, manage, and analyze data, as well as respond to requests for information and plan for the future. Both the information technology and planning and analysis functions are currently understaffed. A financial database administrator and a student database administrator will be in charge of data compilation. Two analysts/planners will do the necessary research, analysis, and strategic planning to position the agency for the 21 51 century. \nWith this timely increased level of support, the department will be in a better position not only to respond but also to act strategically to move technical education to the next level. \nWEB-BASED INSTRUCTION Last year, 7 technical institute \npresidents came together to start the Georgia Virtual Technical Institute (GVTI). GVTI offers a virtual learning environment using distance, information, and telecommunication technologies to provide occupational instruction that transcends barriers of time and place. Programs are available to students anywhere in Georgia. \nIn F.Y. 1999, the department received funds for the technical staff needed to upgrade and prepare its information systems to support webbased instruction. In F.Y. 2000, the Governor recommends $552,000 for equipment needed to continue the development and implementation of web-based courses. There are currently 21 courses offered with 40 more under development. \nGVTI offers a convenient alternative for students who are part of DTAE's traditional student base and who prefer to take classes at home or work (should their employers prefer this option). GVTI will also make a technical education possible \n \nGeorgia Virtual Technical Institute \nCurrent Web-Based Program Offerings: Basic AutoCAD Operator Desktop Applications Entrepreneurship Instructional Technology Medical Coding Medical Receptionist \nMicrocomputer Applications Microsoft Office User Specialist Pulp, Paper \u0026 Recycling Technology \nhttp://gvti.northwestern.tec. ga. us/gvtil \n \nfor previously underserved student populations. Homebound people, for instance, can get the training they need to work from home. \n \nGALILEO AND INTERNET \n \nACCESS \n \nGALILEO (Georgia Library \n \nLearning Online), the University \n \nSystem's statewide electronic library \n \nsystem, was started as an initiative of \n \nthe Board of Regents. Since then, the \n \nsystem has been expanded to include \n \npublic libraries and technical \n \ninstitutes, as well as public and \n \nprivate \n \nsecondary \n \nschools. \n \nGALILEO now provides a set of over \n \n100 databases that index thousands of \n \nperiodicals and journals, and provides \n \naccess to over 2,000 journals in full \n \ntext. In addition, GALILEO includes \n \nan encyclopedia, business directories, \n \nand government publications, as well \n \nas links to Georgia law and many \n \nstate agency home pages. \n \nAt this time, Georgia citizens \n \nhave access to the Internet and a wide \n \nvariety of information resources at \n \n157 of the state's 370 library \n \nfacilities. In F.Y. 1998, library \n \n591 \n \npatrons registered over 241,000 \"hits\" on GALILEO. The F.Y. 2000 budget includes $105,038 to fund the addition of 2 databases to the package currently available at Georgia's public libraries. One database will provide library patrons with articles and information concerning current issues, while the other will provide health-related reference information. Continued expansion of this important reference tool will ensure that library patrons fmd it useful, and that Georgia's public libraries keep pace with the technological advances that are changing how libraries operate. \nPUBLIC LIBRARY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM \nThe F.Y. 2000 budget also includes $540,186 to provide central office programming and help desk support for SAMSON, the Office of Public Library Services' new accounting system. When public libraries were transferred from the Department of Education (DOE) to DTAE in July 1996, DOE agreed to provide on-going support for the \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nGENESIS computerized accounting system, which was then in use by public libraries and most local school systems. GENESIS, however, was outdated, and DOE took steps to replace the system. The proposed SAP replacement system was too elaborate and expensive for public library needs. Therefore, DTAE developed bid specifications and selected a vendor to create a new accounting software package for libraries called SAMSON. While SAMSON will be tailored to meet the accounting needs of public libraries, DTAE does not have the existing resources to provide necessary maintenance and technical support services to its Office of Public Library Services or to the 57 library systems that will begin using SAMSON in F.Y. 2000. As a result, the $540,186 budget for SAMSON support services is one of the Office of Public Library Services' most critical budget needs. \n \nBOOK INITIATIVE UPDATE The F.Y. 1998 amended budget \nincluded a one-time $10 million book package to build library holdings and encourage reading around the state. This grant was distributed to libraries according to population and circulation figures, so that more active systems received a larger share of these funds to meet higher demand for library materials. \nPublic libraries have now submitted orders to the Office of Public Library Services, with final orders scheduled for the end of 1998. Overall, the initiative provides approximately 400,000 children's books and 300,000 adult books to Georgia's libraries. When combined with the regular materials' allocation provided by the Governor and Legislature in F.Y. 1999 and F.Y. 2000, Georgia readers can expect to find well over 1 million new books available in the near future. \n \nFew agencies feel the pressure of rapidly changing technology and increasing demands for just-in-time delivery of cutting edge training as does DTAE. The agency has a broad customer base that includes library patrons, businesses, and students from all walks of life. Collaboration with the departments of Labor and Human Resources has increased the number of clients in need of short-term training. There is a push to increase the number of students who enter a technical institute right out of high school, perhaps as the first step toward a college degree. At the same time, more students come to technical institutes with a college degree already in hand. Continuing to meet the needs of these diverse groups, helping to shape Georgia's current and future workforce, is a challenge. With the additional central support staff and improved information systems and processes that will result from this budget, Governor Barnes provides the foundation necessary for the agency to be able to make a positive response to this challenge. \n \n592 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nTECHNICAL EDUCATION \n \nPURPOSE: Provide students with career, occupational, and technical skills to obtain employment, retain employment, and/or achieve job advancement. \n \nGOAL 1: Meet employment market needs by providing technical diploma and degree credit programs. \n \nDESIRED RESULT 1a: The number of technical diploma and \n \ndegree program graduates who are employed in their field of study by October 1 of the following fiscal year will increase by 3%, from 6,937 \n \niA,#ijW)(M~ij \n \nin F.Y. 1999 to 7,145 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n6,735 \n \n6,937 \n \n7,145 \n \nGOAL 2: Help participants get a job, retain a job, or advance in their path by providing Technical Certificate of Credit (TCC) programs and services. \nDESIRED RESULT 2a: The number of Technical Certificate of Credit (TCC) program graduates who are employed in their field of study will increase by 7%, from 4,724 in F.Y. 1999 to 5,054 in F.Y. 2000. \n \nDESIRED RESULT 2b: The number of certified training graduates who continue their education will increase by 7%, from 528 in F.Y. 1999 to 564 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n494 \n \n528 \n \n564 \n \nDESIRED RESULT 2c: The number of certified training graduates placed in jobs will increase by 7%, from 1,350 in FY 1999 to 1,444 in FY2000. \n \n1,262 \n \n1,350 \n \n1,444 \n \nGOAL 3: Help welfare recipients prepare for and obtain employment through the New Connections to Work program. \nDESIRED RESULT 3a: The number of New-Connections-to-Work program participants who obtain jobs after receiving assistance will increase by 7%, from 3,433 in F.Y. 1999 to 3,673 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n3,209 \n \n3,433 \n \n3,673 \n \n593 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nDESIRED RESULT 3b: The number of New-Connections-to-Work program participants who retain jobs after receiving assistance will increase by 7%. \n \n1 Data not yet available for this measure. \n \nADULT LITERACY \nPURPOSE: Teach basic literacy skills to adults and provide instruction to adults seeking to obtain a General Education Development diploma (GED). \n \nGOAL 1: Improve the basic reading, math, and writing skills of program participants. \nDESIRED RESULT la: The number of students awarded certificates of completion for improved literacy skills will increase by 1%, from 25,218 in F.Y. 1999 to 25,470 in F.Y. 2000. \n \n24,969 \n \n25,218 \n \n25,470 \n \n15,577 \n \n15,888 \n \n16,205 \n \nI F.Y. 1998 actual results are based on C.Y. 1999/1998 data.

This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems and will assist in the construction of approximately 2,003 miles of road. \n $2.5 million in motor fuel funds to upgrade computer hardware and software equipment for Y2K computer compliance requirements. \n In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget, $125 million in general obligation bonds is recommended to continue work on the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). Over 58% of the 2,697-mile system (1,442 miles) is completed, under construction or under right-of-way acquisition as of December 1998. \n In the F.Y. 1999 amended budget, $20 million in general obligation bonds is recommended for Savannah harbor navigation channel projects. The $20 million will be used for construction to raise existing harbor dikes, erosion and \n \nprotection work, pre-construction and mitigation of newly created disposal areas, acquisition of additional acreage for future disposal area usage, and related maintenance and repair work on the disposal areas. \nIn the F.Y. 1999 amended budget over $7.3 million is recommended for transit projects and rail projects including: \n $1.2 million in one-time start-up funds and $1.8 million to match $14.6 million in federal funds to purchase 56 buses for a proposed Gwinnett County transit system \n $1.945 million to be matched with $2.4 million in federal funds for a feasibility study of light rail transit for the Marietta-Lawrenceville corridor; \n $1.12 million to be matched with $4.48 million in federal funds to purchase strategic rail line segments in downtown Atlanta needed for commuter rail projects; \n $240,000 to be matched with $960,000 in federal funds to conduct a detailed analysis of existing and future track capacity requirements for commuter and inter-city rail lines; and \n $1,000,000 to purchase the Rover-Meyer rail line to preserve it for future use as an essential rail route that links Columbus with Griffin. \n \nFunding for Developmental Highways \nIn Millions \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nGeneral Assembly Session \n \n599 \n \n1998 \n \n1999 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Mass Transit Grants Airport Aid Program Special Grants for Airports Harbor Maintenance Spoilage Land Acquisition, Clearing and Preparation Contracts with the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority \nTotal Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \n \nF.Y.1997 Expenditures \n236,853,543 55,453,738 1,667,9J7 5,165,918 9,063,442 1,323,722 52,804,052 4,686,975 2,988,086 \n761,191,091 8,911,210 2,304,742 \n699,752 3,477,700 \n355,000 \n \nF.Y.1998 Expenditures \n240,618,336 57,875,000 1,787,336 4,977,811 11,198,636 1,319,517 69,718,308 10,837,944 3,422,001 \n927,942,528 9,321,753 2,591,866 \n35,000,000 779,770 \n8,299,006 \n \nF.Y.1999 Current Budget \n262,742,052 62,239,702 2,024,000 2,000,000 7,127,070 1,333,768 60,248,553 11,905,646 3,269,333 \n790,077,596 8,514,737 2,241,866 \n710,855 \n \nF.Y. 2000 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection \n \nLevel \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n295,060,490 64,932,602 2,206,564 2,000,000 7,116,980 1,336,773 69,053,571 15,218,146 4,303,295 \n948,384,288 7,993,283 2,241,866 \n \n153,500 14,565 2,800 \n16,031,500 \n102,026,617 \n \n295,060,490 65,086,102 2,206,564 2,014,565 7,119,780 1,336,773 85,085,071 15,218,146 4,303,295 \n1,050,410,905 7,993,283 2,241,866 \n \n710,855 \n \n710,855 \n \n535,555 \n \n341,250 \n \n337,838 \n \n337,838 \n \n1,146,946,888 1,386,225,367 1,214,776,428 1,420,896,551 \n \n118,228,982 1,539,125,533 \n \n439,528,825 376,285,749 \n815,814,574 \n \n597,802,356 356,612,746 \n954,415,102 \n \n632,023,569 18,001,088 \n650,024,657 \n \n806,477,546 18,001,088 \n824,478,634 \n \n94,972,496 94,972,496 \n \n901,450,042 18,001,088 \n919,451,130 \n \nState General Funds Motor Fuel Tax Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \n9,647,744 321,484,570 \n331,132,314 \n6,432 4,800 \n \n43,114,617 388,695,648 \n431,810,265 \n6,328 4,800 \n \n7,751,771 557,000,000 \n564,751,771 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n7,336,038 589,081,879 \n596,417,917 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n338,365 22,918,121 23,256,486 \n \n7,674,403 612,000,000 \n619,674,403 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n600 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y. 2000 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Mass Transit Grants Airport Aid Program Harbor Maintenance Spoilage Land Acquisition, \nClearing and Preparation Contracts with the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority \nTotal Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \n \nAdjusted Base \n266,267,602 61,204,029 \n2,127,564 2,000,000 7,069,810 1,336,773 60,891,709 1l,906,146 3,252,041 790,077,596 8,514,737 2,241,866 \n710,855 \n341,250 \n1,217,941,978 \n632,023,569 18,001,088 \n650,024,657 \n \nRedirection Level \n \nFunds \n \nTo Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \n(4,272,168) \n \n6,968,169 843,000 14,000 \n \n10,200 \n \n(6,269,527) \n(17,789,956) (521,454) \n \n12,976,336 3,152,234 \n611,878 227,846,986 \n \nRedirection Totals \n268,963,603 62,047,029 2,141,564 2,000,000 7,080,010 1,336,773 67,598,518 15,058,380 3,863,919 \n1,000,134,626 7,993,283 2,241,866 710,855 \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n153,500 \n14,565 2,800 \n25,000 \n \n268,963,603 62,200,529 2,141,564 2,014,565 7,082,810 1,336,773 67,623,518 15,058,380 3,863,919 \n1,000,134,626 7,993,283 2,241,866 710,855 \n \n(17,062) \n \n13,650 \n \n337,838 \n \n(28,870,167) 252,436,453 1,441,508,264 \n \n337,838 195,865 1,441,704,129 \n \n(167,982) 218,432,905 (167,982) 218,432,905 \n \n850,288,492 18,001,088 \n868,289,580 \n \n17,365 17,365 \n \n850,288,492 18,018,453 \n868,306,945 \n \nState General Funds Motor Fuel Tax Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \n7,410,691 560,506,630 \n567,917,321 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n(370,534) (28,331,651 ) (28,702,185) \n \n178,527 33,825,021 34,003,548 \n \n7,218,684 566,000,000 \n573,218,684 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n178,500 178,500 \n \n7,397,184 566,000,000 \n573,397,184 \n6,365 4,800 \n \n601 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nF.Y. 2000 Budget Summary \n \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET \n \nF.Y. 1999 STATE APPROPRiATIONS 1.

The department also provides administrative support to the State Tollway Authority and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority. \nThe department is governed by a board comprised of representatives from each of the state's congressional districts. The state representatives and senators from each congressional district elect that district's board member. The board in tum appoints a commissioner to lead the department. \nThe great majority of the department's resources are directed toward maintaining and improving the state's network of roads and bridges. Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally earmarked solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. Non-road and bridge construction projects are supported by a combination of state general funds, federal funds and local funds. \nDEPARTMENT OPERAnONS The department's organization chart is based on \nspecific processes or responsibilities such as personnel, planning, engineering and construction. However, the department's budget is divided into functions that may include the activities of several organizational divisions. These functions are discussed below. \nPLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION - Plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this overall responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multi-modal transportation plan and long-range plans for urban areas; maintain an approved construction work program of priority projects; perform location and environmental studies; conduct mapping and photogrammetric surveys; acquire rights-of-way necessary to construct and maintain highways; supervise all construction and maintenance activities let to contract; ensure the quality of materials used in construction; and conduct research to improve planning and engineering methods. \nMAINTENANCE AND BETTERMENTS - Responible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal of this function is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by programming and supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects let to contract; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance such as emergency repairs; making spot \n \nimprovements and safety modification; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement failures, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; operating and maintaining state visitor information centers; issuing permits for special vehicles such as oversized and overweight carriers; and enforcing Georgia's special vehicle regulations. \nADMINISTRATION - Provides executive management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions for the department. \nFACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT - Used as a separate budget function for new and replacement equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's various operations. \nINTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES - Provides funding and administration of public transportation programs, Le. buses and vans, provided under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964; provides funding and administration of light density rail rehabilitation and for the construction and signage of statewide Park and Ride lots; provides departmental financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance and other services as needed; maintains and updates the state airport system plan; publishes and distributes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and provides management assistance and technical expertise to local governments to develop, maintain and improve scheduled air service. \nAIR TRANSPORTATION - Operates aircraft for use by state officials in conducting state business and also performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or road and bridge improvement. \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE - Concerned with the department's role with assisting Chatham County, designated as the local assurer, in fulfilling its responsibility for the provision and maintenance of lands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.s. Army Corps of Engineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer. \nAUTHORITY Titles 6 and 32 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n605 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe \n \nDepartment \n \nof \n \nTransportation's historic focus has \n \nbeen on building and maintaining the \n \nstate's network of roads and bridges. \n \nThe vast majority of its funds, both \n \nstate and federal, are dedicated to this \n \npurpose. Indeed, Georgia is \n \nrecognized nationally as having a \n \nsuperior highway system due \n \nprimarily to the department's efforts \n \nand emphasis on roads and \n \nmaintenance. The high quality of \n \nGeorgia's transportation system has \n \nbeen essential to the economic \n \nsuccess and growth of the state. But \n \nthe department faces great challenges \n \nin developing appropriate strategy for \n \nfuture transportation needs and \n \nrelated transportation issues affecting \n \nthe metro Atlanta region. \n \nThe ability to build new highway \n \ninfrastructure and capacity in the core \n \nof metropolitan areas is diminishing \n \nrapidly and air quality in non- \n \nattainment areas is a growing \n \nproblem. To ,meet these challenges, \n \nthe department is placing a greater \n \nemphasis on a more balanced \n \ntransportation system that advances \n \npublic transit, passenger rail and other \n \nmodes of travel. \n \nWith the passage of newly \n \nreauthorized federal highway \n \nlegislation, the department will \n \nreceive major increases in federal \n \ntransportation dollars for everything \n \nfrom roads to rail projects. The \n \nfederal authorization provides the \n \ndepartment with flexible funds to \n \ndevelop strategies for addressing the \n \nmetro Atlanta region's air quality and \n \nsprawl problems. Federal funds, when \n \ncombined with motor fuel \n \nappropriated funds, will also enable \n \nthe department to continue fulfilling \n \nits traditional responsibility to \n \nbuilding and maintaining the state's \n \nnetwork of roads. \n \nFEDERAL HIGHWAY FUNDING In September of 1998, Congress \npassed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 51 Century - called TEA-21. The federal funds authorized for Georgia include over $5 billion for \n \ncore transportation construction and \n \nmaintenance programs and over $70 \n \nmillion for special designated rail \n \nprojects for the 6-year period \n \ncovering fiscal years 1998-2003. As \n \nstipulated in TEA-21, 15% of the total \n \nauthorization for Georgia is being \n \nallocated for F.Y. 1999 and another \n \n16% will be allocated for F.Y. 2000. \n \nFor F.Y. 1999 and 2000, this equates \n \nto major increases in federal highway \n \nfunds of well over $200 million from \n \nthe current $616 million base level of \n \nfederal funds. \n \nThe Governor is recommending \n \n$42.7 million in spending - $20 \n \nmillion in state general funds in the \n \nF.Y. 1999 amended budget and $22.7 \n \nmillion in motor fuel funds - to match \n \nthe increase in new federal dollars for \n \ncore transportation programs. \n \nTEA-21 also includes recognition \n \nthat funding of transit and passenger \n \nrail programs is essential to meeting \n \nthe needs for a more balanced \n \ntransportation system as states across \n \nthe nation grapple with the \n \nenvironmental \n \nand \n \nsocial \n \nconsequences of their transportation \n \ninvestments. To this end, TEA-21 has \n \nauthorized over $70 million for \n \nGeorgia for commuter rail, inter-city \n \nrail, high-speed rail, light rail, and \n \nother passenger rail and mass transit \n \nprojects. The Governor is \n \nrecommending a total of $3,269,150 \n \nin cash and $3,064,000 in bonds in \n \nthe F.Y. 1999 amended budget to \n \nleverage $22,473,200 in federal funds \n \nallocated to Georgia for new \n \ninitiatives for mass transit and rail \n \nprojects covering the F.Y. 1999-2000 \n \nperiod. \n \nMASS TRANSIT / PASSENGER RAIL \nNew initiatives for mass transit and rail projects include a recommendation of $3,029,150 in state general funds targeted for a proposed Gwinnett County transit system. A total of $1,829,150 in state funding, expected to leverage $14.6 million in federal funds, is recommended to purchase 46 transit \n \nand 10 ADA buses (all natural gas powered) for local routes to major office and retail centers and express bus routes to downtown Atlanta. In addition, $1,200,000 is recommended for one-time start-up funds for marketing and preliminary planning and engineering for a transit center, park-ride and maintenance facility. \nThe Governor is recommending a total of $1,945,000 in bonds for a feasibility study of light rail transit for the Marietta-Lawrenceville corridor. Presently, no transit service exist in the corridor, necessitating the need for a planning feasibility study as a first-step process. The total amount of available federal funds over the 6year TEA-21 authorization period is $2,400,000. The recommendation provides the $600,000 state match requirement needed to leverage $2,400,000 in total available federal funds and advance funds the $1,344,000 federal share that would otherwise not be available until F.Y. 2001. \nAnother new rail initiative includes a recommendation of $240,000 to provide state match against federal funds ($960,000) to conduct a detailed analysis of existing and future track capacity requirements for commuter and intercity rail lines. Both commuter and inter-city rail passenger plans propose a network of rail passenger routes using existing rail freight lines and serving a multi-modal passenger terminal in downtown Atlanta. The analysis of track capacity will provide the basis for determining future track infrastructure requirements for the downtown Atlanta hub in implementing passenger rail service in the state. \nA total of $1.12 million in bonds is recommended for acquisition of strategic rail line segments needed for commuter rail projects. The recommendation, which will leverage $4.48 million in total available federal funds, includes $120,000 for acquisition of the Memorial DriveWylie Street rail line and $1,000,000 \n \n606 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nfor acquisition of the Decatur Street belt line. \nThe Governor is also recommending that $237,838 in contracts be appropriated in F.Y. 2000 to the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority to continue implementation of the commuter rail and inter-city rail plans started in F.Y. 1998. The plans lay the ground work for commuter rail services between Atlanta and Athens, with service to Atlanta's northeast suburbs and intercity rail service from Atlanta to Macon, with connections to Hartsfield Airport. Funding will enable the Authority to continue consultant contracts related to the various aspects of passenger rail implementation and to execute and negotiate agreements with railroad companies. \nCommuter rail, inter-city passenger rail, and improved mass transit offer a long-term strategy for addressing metro Atlanta's air quality problems and traffic congestion. Commuter rail and mass transit can have a significant impact on air quality and traffic problems, keeping metro Atlanta an attractive place for business locations and ensuring its continued strength as a business center into the next millenium. Intercity rail can extend Atlanta's success as a business center to other cities in Georgia and can help Atlanta handle some of its growth pressure. Atlanta can provide Macon, Athens and other Georgia cities national and international business opportunities if good rail connections are established to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield Airport. \n \nHIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION/ HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE \nWith its traditional responsibility for road maintenance and construction, the department has spent well over $5.7 billion to construct, reconstruct and widen more than 8,300 lane-miles of road over the past decade. In F.Y. 1999, approximately $710 million worth of construction contracts is budgeted for 3,250 miles of state roads at an average expenditure of $218,553 per mile of road improvement. In addition, 90 bridges are expected to be let to contract in F.Y. 1999 at a cost of $88 million. \nImproved highway facilities are necessary to encourage continued economic growth. One of the department's key economic development related programs is the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). This ambitious program is intended to add four-lane highways to every section of the state and would place 98 % of the state within 20 miles of a four-lane road. As envisioned, this developmental highway system would add 2,697 miles of four-lane highways throughout the state. \nThe state has appropriated over $1 billion for GRIP over the last eight years, an annual average of approximately $125 million primarily through the use of 20-year general obligation bonds. The Governor is recommending $125 million in bonds for the F.Y. 1999 amended budget to continue funding for GRIP initiatives. As of December 1998, 1,442 miles or 58% of all GRIP corridors have been completed or are under construction. \n \nIn addition, the department aids local governments in the construction of local roads not on the state system through the county contracts program. This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems. The county contracts program is recommended at a funding level of $30,600,000 in F.Y. 2000 and will assist in the construction of approximately 2,003 miles of road. \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE Providing a safe passage for \ninternational shipping lines using Georgia's ports is an ever-increasing effort by the department. The world's shipping lines continue to increase the size of their ships, requiring ports to provide increasingly deeper channels to accommodate the larger vessels. Dredged material from the Savannah River channel is removed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and deposited in diked areas. This is an ongoing process that requires the department to take care of dike construction and harbor maintenance. \nUnderstanding the importance of Georgia ports to the state's economy, the Governor is recommending $20,050,000 in bonds in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget for needed harbor maintenance projects. Among these projects are: $4,00,000 to continue the third year of a 3-year phase-in period for erosion protection work at Jones/Oyster Bed Island; $5,000,000 to raise harbor dikes in area 12A; $1,800,000 for acquisition of 711 acres for future disposal area use; $9,000,000 for mitigation and pre-construction of new disposal areas due to the critical need for developing a disposal area upstream; and $250,000 for related maintenance and repair work of the disposal areas. \n \n607 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Results-Based Budgeting \nPUBLIC ROAD WORK PURPOSE: To provide roadway users a public road infrastructure that provides mobility which improves the quality of life and enhances opportunities for economic growth. \nGOAL 1: The public road network through the state will be operationally efficient in moving people, goods and services in and out of communities. \nDESIRED RESULT Ia: Maintain 99% of Georgia's Inter-state system, state highways, and roads in category designated \"Good\" according to DOT \"ride-ability\" standards in FY 2000. \n \n44% \n \n49% \n \n49% \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: Increase the percentage of met needs versus identified needs based upon fund availability for the Local Assistance Road Program (L.A.R.P.) at 49% ($41,141,836) in FY 1999 and 49% (estimated $41,141,836) in FY 2000. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ie: Increase percentage of heavy truck weight compliance from 99.5% in FY 1999 to 99.6% of trucks in compliance in FY 2000.

Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of infonning veterans and their families about all available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled. \nVETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state approving agency for the federally sponsored \nVeterans Education Assistance Program, the department is responsible for approving and supervising all institutions (including public and private schools and establishments offering on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs) in Georgia which participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. In F.Y. 1998, the Department conducted 427 inspections of veteran educational and training programs and responded to 2,823 requests for technical assistance. The department anticipates the number of inspections to reach over 500 with 3,000 requests for technical assistance in F.Y. 1999. This function is 100 percent federal~y funded and employs seven staff. \nINSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates two \ninstitutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the. 540-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres of land. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (Le. building limited to simple lodging). The facility is staffed and operated through a contract with a private vendor. \nA second facility is maintained in Augusta. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is staffed by 199 employees and operated through a contract with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. At this 192bed facility, physicians and medical students provide a complex range of services and nursing care to sick and disabled veterans. \nGOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Department of Veterans Service is governed by the \nseven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, with confinnation by the Senate. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of the Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year tenn. \n \nThe Department is required by law to: \n Generally promote and protect the right of Georgia veterans under all state and federal laws. \n Furnish infonnation to all veterans of all wars as to their rights and benefits under federal and state laws and local ordinances. \n Assist all veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries in the preparation and processing of claims with the appropriate federal agencies. \n Report to the appropriate federal or state agency any instances of incompetence, dishonesty or neglect of duty by any employee or agency dealing with veterans' affairs. \n Maintain complete copies of all records on veterans filing claims for benefits through the department. \n Advise the Board, the Governor, and the General Assembly in regard to veterans legislation and policies. \nAUTHORITY Title 38-4, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; Chapter 36, Title 38, United States Code. \nVeterans Nursing Home and Domiciliary Total Patient Days \n250,000 \n200,000 \n150,000 \n100,000 \n50,000 \no \n1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 \nFiscal Year \no Veterans Home - Augusta \nmVeterans Domiciliary - Milledgeville \nII Veterans Home - Milledgeville \n \n618 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Veterans Service regularly prepares and distributes news releases, radio programs, and technical bulletins on veterans' benefits, changes in laws, and proper procedures for filing claims. In addition, the Commissioner, department staff and field office managers make personal appearances before veterans' organizations throughout the state to explain veteran rights and benefits and the assistance available from the department. \nVETERANS ASSISTANCE In addition to the central office in \nAtlanta, the department maintains a claims processing staff at the regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Atlanta and 48 field offices or satellite branches across the state. At these locations, agency personnel assist and advise veterans and their families in several ways. Assistance is given in initiating, filing and processing of claims. When necessary, the department will represent veterans before claims or appellate boards. \nVeterans are also assisted in securing social security and related benefits. Additionally, assistance is provided in securing burial benefits, in arranging for the burial of eligible veterans in national cemeteries and in securing flags and grave markers. In \n \nF.Y. 1998, the department processed 605,408 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 610,000 in F.Y. 1999. \nGEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME - MILLEDGEVILLE \nIn F.Y. 1999, this privatized facility will provide an estimated 161,000 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation (skilled nursing care). Since the facility was privatized in F.Y. 1997, residents of the home have reported significant improvements in the quality ofcare received. In 1998 the facility received the American Health Care Association Quality Award for quality improvement. \nAs the veteran population has aged the acuity level (or level of care) of the skilled nursing patients has also increased significantly. In F.Y. 1989, approximately 40 percent of the skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 80 percent require this intensive level of care. \nIn addition to the skilled nursing component, the Pete Wheeler Domiciliary provides living accommodations and minimal medical care to veterans who are able to maintain some level of independence in carrying out their daily living. A patient exercise program has been implemented throughout the home to \n \nincrease physical activity with an anticipated reduction in patient falls and injuries. \nGEORGIA VETERANS NURSING HOME-AUGUSTA \nIn F.Y. 1999, this facility will provide an estimated 64,500 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation. In addition, the facility provides educational experience to students of the various schools comprising the Medical College of Georgia. Through this association, the nursing home is allowed access to technology and expertise not readily available to other skilled nursing facilities.

All employers, with three or more full-time or part-time employees, are required to obtain workers' compensation coverage through either private insurers or programs of self-insurance for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment. The only employees exempt are: federal government employees, railroad employees, farmers, farm hands, domestic servants, business partners, some corporate executives and independent contractors. \nThe Board administers the law to assure that injured workers are receiving the services and benefits to which they are entitled by the law in a timely and appropriate manner. The benefits provided include medical payments, a portion of wage replacement, and catastrophic rehabilitation. Rights granted an employee under the law preclude any other legal remedies under an employer by an employee due to a workrelated injury. \nThe Board regulates specific benefits to injured employees without regard for negligence or fault and guarantees protection for the employers through the exclusive remedy protection. However, claims are not paid ifthe cause of the injury is the result of the use of alcohol or a controlled substance. The injured employee can be tested within three hours, or eight hours from the time of the injury for alcohol or controlled substances, respectively. \nBOARD RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of the Board are classified as quasi- \njudicial, administrative and regulatory. The quasi-judicial responsibilities include hearing cases on appeal and approving settlements. The chairperson of the three-member Board is \n \nthe chief appellate administrative law judge. The administrative and regulatory responsibilities range from developing policy, promulgating regulations and developing and submitting the agency's budget request. \nSome specific responsibilities of the Board include:  Promulgating and adopting policies and rules.  Approving applications of insurance companies to write workers' compensation policies in Georgia and applications of employers to act as selfinsurers.  Ensuring that employers maintain required insurance coverage.  Reviewing and monitoring claims and settlements to ensure compliance with the law.  Resolving disputes between claimants and employers.  Publishing and distributing information about rights, benefits, and obligations under the workers' compensation law to employers and employees.  Approving fees of physicians and charges of hospitals and other providers of services paid by workers' compensation insurers and self-insurers. \nTo monitor the administration of the Workers' Compensation Law and fulfill these responsibilities, the chief executive authority for the Board rests with its chairperson, with administrative functions entrusted to an executive director appointed by the Board. The three member Board is appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. \nAUTHORITY 34-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n200,000 150,000 \n \n161,773 \n \nNumber of Claims Reviewed \n \n164,584 \n \n183,311 \n \n175,859 \n \n166,419 \n \n175,000 \n \n100,000 \n \n50,000 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Year \n \n628 \n \n1998 \n \n1999 est. \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nCurrently, the State Board of Workers' Compensation provides services for 187,000 employers and 3.4 million workers. Annually, over 50,000 lost-time claims are filed as well as 170,000 medical-only claims. Eight percent or less of these cases are litigated. \nThose claims requiring an evidentiary hearing are heard by an administrative law judge in a courtlike proceeding. Hearings are held in the county where the injury occurred, in an adjoining county, or in a county within 50 miles of where the injury occurred. The award is generally issued 30 to 60 days following the hearing. In addition to the state office in Atlanta, the board has eight field offices that house the Administrative Law Judges and legal secretaries who handle disputes in their designated areas. These field offices are located in Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Rome, and Savannah. \nIf either party is dissatisfied with the decision of the judge, the party may appeal to the three-member board. During calendar year 1997, 772 appellate hearings were scheduled before the full board. Further appeals may be taken through the court system. \nFRAUD AND COMPLIANCE DIVISION \nIt is estimated that as many as 25% of the employers in Georgia, who are required to carry workers' compensation coverage do not do so. This puts legitimate employers at a competitive disadvantage, skews the premium for the pool of insured employers and leaves thousands of workers without required coverage. In response, the Board established the Fraud and Compliance Division to \n \nrespond to complaints regarding uninsured employers and fraudulent claims. The Division's primary goals have been to identify non-compliant employers, investigate alleged fraud, and educate and assist business, medical providers and others who are involved in workers' compensation to create a climate which will assure that legitimately injured workers receive benefits allowable under the Workers' Compensation Law. \nSince operations began in F.Y. 1996, the Compliance Division has conducted over 25,000 random compliance checks of businesses. As a result, over 3,000 additional businesses now carry workers' compensation insurance coverage. These businesses were operating in violation of the law prior to being contacted. The compliance checks resulted in insurance coverage for an additional 17,000 employees, generating over $10 million in additional new premiums. \nALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVISION \nThe Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Division provides a forum in which to resolve issues that do not require a formal hearing. Previously a unit within the Legal Services Division, the new Division will accommodate the increase in the number of cases submitted for mediation and other resolution issues without a hearing. Request for legal actions are being screened and diverted by the Screening and Administration unit to the ADR unit (based on legal action requested), which provides for a more costeffective and timely resolution of disputed issues. Cases resolved in this manner will not require hearings, nor will appeals be filed. The \n \nDivision will handle over 450 cases per month that would otherwise be assigned to the Trial Section. \n \nMANAGED HEALTH CARE \n \nThere is a legislative \n \nprovision for board certified Workers' \n \nCompensation Managed Care \n \nOrganizations to serve as an option \n \nfor the delivery of medical services to \n \ninjured workers. Therefore, any \n \nhealth care provider or group of \n \nmedical services providers may \n \nsubmit an application to the board to \n \nbecome certified to provide services \n \nto injured workers. In order to be \n \ncertified, the managed health care \n \nplan must include: appropriate \n \nfinancial incentives to reduce service \n \ncosts and utilization without \n \nsacrificing the quality of service; \n \nadequate methods of peer review and \n \nservice utilization review to prevent \n \ninappropriate or excessive treatment; \n \nand efforts to promote services that \n \nwill contribute to workplace health \n \nand safety. \n \nThe National \n \nCommission of Compensation \n \nInsurance estimates that the use of \n \nmanaged health care plans can result \n \nin up to a 12% premium reduction. \n \nAs of November 1997, 19 \n \norganizations have been certified \n \ncovering over 108,000 workers. It is \n \nanticipated that within the next three \n \nto five years the majority of Georgia's \n \ninjured employees will access \n \nmedical treatment through services \n \nprovided by certified managed care \n \norganizations. To promote success \n \nwithin this system, quality assurance \n \nmeasures have been implemented. \n \nThese measures include compliance \n \naudits and participant surveys to \n \nmeasure satisfaction levels and assess \n \noutcomes. \n \n629 \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nWORKERS' COMPENSATION SERVICES \n \nPURPOSE: To fairly administer the law for workers injured on the job by ensuring no-fault medical and indemnity payments and by protecting employers from tort lawsuits. \n \nGOAL 1: Ensure access to medical care for all workers injured on the job so that those workers can return to work. \n \nDESIRED RESULT la: At least 85% of workers injured on the job will return to work within one year of their injuries during F.Y.2000. \n \n(21,585 of 26,058) \n)Data on injured workers lag behind one year, therefore, F.Y. 1998 actual results reflect workers injured in F.Y. 1997, the most current year for which information is available. \n \n60 daysl \n \n60 days \n \n60 days \n \n'Data lags behind one year, therefore, F.Y. 1998 actual results reflect lost workdays in F.Y. 1997, the most current year for which information is available. \n \nDESIRED RESULT Ib: The number of workdays lost by each employee with a work related injury in F.Y. 2000 will remain at the F.Y. 1998 average of60 workdays. \n \nGOAL 2: Control the growth of Workers' Compensation costs by developing reasonable fee schedules and specialized Managed Care programs. \nDESIRED RESULT 2a: The F.Y. 2000 cost of medical care for injured workers will increase 20% or less over F.Y. 1999 costs for medical-only claims. \n \n$69,927,837 1 \n \n$84,000,000 \n \n$100,000,000 \n \n20% \n \n19\"10 \n \nIBased on data for injured workers with medical-only claims.

Agencies were asked to include Fiscal Year 2001 estimates of their redirection budget level and future operating costs associated with capital outlay projects. The table below is a summary of the agencies' Fiscal Year 2001 estimate of their Fiscal Year 2000 redirection budget level request. \n \nDepartments/Agencies \nAdministrative Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Banking and Finance, Department of Community Affairs, Department of Corrections, Department of Defense, Department of Education, State Board of Forestry Commission, State Georgia Bureau of Investigation Governor, Office of the Human Resources, Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Department of Insurance, Office of Commissioner of Juvenile Justice, Department of Labor, Department of Law, Department of Medical Assistance, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Safety, Department of Public School Employees' Retirement System Public Service Commission Regents, University System of Georgia 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 \nTOTAL STATE GENERAL FUNDS \n \nF.Y. 2000 Requests \n45,919,027 58,385,083 \n9,958,612 21,379,744 744,032,118 \n5,256,178 4,747,373,536 \n35,698,717 51,972,372 26,276,692 1,221,367,654 22,816,624 15,717,178 213,613,923 20,918,693 13,925,160 1,197,097,503 96,966,686 118,702,468 17,642,000 8,582,019 1,347,823,875 95,768,871 31,343,714 2,186,192 33,083,326 3,515,000 246,336,029 6,998,200 19,622,866 11,413,656 \n10,491,693,716 \n \nF.Y. 2001 Estimates \n47,116,161 46,049,083 \n9,840,686 21,379,744 791,458,542 \n5,426,231 4,837,573,633 \n35,728,096 51,972,371 31,624,273 1,292,610,188 22,776,316 15,898,501 219,860,022 20,913,800 13,925,160 1,317,702,517 98,454,555 118,679,659 17,642,000 8,582,019 1,664,682,362 95,768,871 31,343,714 2,186,192 31,985,135 3,515,000 246,336,029 7,698,020 20,465,761 11,413,656 \n11,140,608,297 \n \n703 \n \n IMPACT OF CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE \nF.Y. 2000 RECOMMENDED BUDGET \nThe Capital Outlay Program consists of projects and activities to: acquire property; procure equipment; develop and construct new facilities and structures; renovate, enlarge, enhance, preserve, and improve existing facilities and structures; and conduct major repairs to ensure capital assets achieve their service life. Funding is considered in the Capital Outlay Program for projects that are primarily facility related, non-recurring on an annual basis, and it is deemed desirable to request and recommend funding separate from the operating budget. Annual motor vehicle replacements and other routine equipment needs are usually funded as part of an agency's general operating budget. \nThe Capital Outlay Program impacts the state's operating budget through a mix of debt service payments for bondfunded projects and \"pay-as-you-go\" fmancing using lottery and cash revenues. Also, as completed projects become operational, there may be associated additional operating expenses. The following table summarizes the impact of the Capital Outlay Program on the F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget. \n \nGeneral Obligation Debt Sinking Fund Existing Obligations, Issued Debt Service Bond Funded F.Y. 2000 Projects New Debt Service \nSubtotal, Debt \n \n501,747,662 \no \n501,747,662 \n \nCash Funded F.Y. 2000 Projects \n \n301,798,795 \n \nLottery Funded F.Y. 2000 Projects \n \n19,388,183 \n \nF.Y. 2000 Additional Operating Cost of Newly Completed State Projects (see Budget Highlights for descriptions) \n \n19,755,038 \n \nTotal \n \n842,689,678 \n \nIn summary, $842.7 million of the F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Progran1, representing 6.3% of the total F.Y. 2000 Recommended Budget. Due to the favorable bond market and the very sound fmancial status of the state, a major portion of the State of Georgia's F.Y. 2000 requested capital outlay projects were recommended in the F.Y. 1999 amended budget. As the major capital projects recommended in the F.Y. 2000 and F.Y. 1999 amended budget are completed, there will be additional operating expenses in future years. The total future net operational impact of these recommended capital projects is estimated at $39.6 million on an annual basis. \n \nThe State has developed and maintains a sound debt management plan, overseen by a Debt Management Advisory Committee, for the effective and prudent use of debt in addressing Georgia's growing capital needs. In recognition of the state's sound fiscal policies, moderate debt levels well within constitutional and statutory controls, conservative revenue estimates, a diverse and strong economy, and responsive leadership, the state currently enjoys triple-A ratings from Moody's, Fitch, and Standard \u0026 Poor's. \n \n704 \n \n FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT \n \nIn November of 1972, the voters of the State of Georgia approved a comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of 1945 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 1523, et seq.), which permitted the state to fmance its needs directly through the issuance of general obligation debt. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the state's capital outlay needs were met through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate state authorities and secured by lease rental agreements between the authorities and various state departments and agencies. The provisions of the amendment were implemented by the General Assembly in 1973 with the enactment of the act, and the constitutionality of the new system of state fmancing was favorably adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a decision rendered on July 16, 1974, in Sears v. State of Georgia, 232 Ga. 547 (1974). In November of 1982, the voters of the State of Georgia ratified a new state constitution which became effective July 1, 1983, and such new constitution continues the amendment in full force and effect. \nGeorgia State Financing and Investment Commission \nThe commission is an agency and instrumentality of the state and its members are the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. \nThe commission is responsible for the issuance of all public debt of the state, including general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. The commission is further responsible for the proper application of the proceeds of such debt to the purposes for which it is incurred. \n \nThe commission has two statutory divisions, a Financing and Investment Division and a Construction Division, each administered by a director who reports directly to the commission. \nThe Financing and Investment Division performs all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto. \nThe Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing, plarming, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor. \n \n705 \n \n CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BOND LIMITATIONS \n \nThe State of Georgia's Constitution and various laws set limits on the indebtedness that can be incurred by the state and its various institutions, departments, and agencies. The following describes these limits and also provides certain selected budgetary and financial data. \n \nAppropriations and Debt Limitations \nArticle III, Section IX, Paragraph IV(b) of the Constitution of the State of Georgia (the \"Constitution\") provides: \n\"The General Assembly shall not appropriate funds for any given fiscal year which, in aggregate, exceed a sum equal to the amount of unappropriated surplus expected to have accrued in the state treasury at the beginning of the fiscal year together with an amount not greater than the total treasury receipts from existing revenue sources anticipated to be collected in the fiscal year, less refunds, as estimated in the budget report and amendments thereto. Supplementary appropriations, if any, shall be made in the manner provided in Paragraph V of this section of the Constitution; but in no event shall a supplementary Appropriations Act continue in force and effect beyond the expiration of the General Appropriations Act in effect when such supplementary Appropriations Act was adopted and approved.\" \nArticle VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(c), (d), (e), and (f) of the Constitution provides that the state may incur public debt of two types for public purposes: general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, departments, institutions, and certain state authorities, to provide educational facilities for county and independent school systems, to provide public library facilities for county and independent school systems, counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public libraries or boards of trustees of public library systems, to make loans to counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, local authorities, and other local government entities for water or sewerage facilities or systems, and to make loans to local government entities for regional or multijurisdictional solid waste recycling or solid waste facilities or systems. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of certain revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the state as set forth in said subparagraph (f) of Paragraph I, Section IV, Article VII of the Constitution. Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph II(b)-(e) of the Constitution further provides that: \n \n\"(b) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c), (d), and (e) of Paragraph I of this section or Paragraph V of this section at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year ofthe state under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1976 are applicable, exceed 10 percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred. \n(c) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c) and (d) of Paragraph I of this section at any time when the term of the debt is in excess of25 years. \n(d) No guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to [mance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water facilities or systems or sewerage facilities or systems exceed one percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds, ofthe state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any debt is to be incurred. \n(e) The aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million.\" \nIn addition, Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph IV of the Constitution provides: \n\"The state, and all state institutions, departments, and agencies of the state are prohibited from entering into any contract, except contracts pertaining to guaranteed revenue debt, with any public agency, public \n \n706 \n \n CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BOND LIMITATIONS \n \ncorporation, authority, or similar entity if such contract is intended to constitute security for bonds or other obligations issued by any such public agency, public corporation, or authority and, in the event any contract between the state, or any state institution, department, or agency of the state and any public agency, public corporation, authority, or similar entity, or any revenues from any such contract, is pledged or assigned as security for the repayment of bonds or other obligations, then and in either such event, the appropriation or expenditure of any funds of the state for the payment of obligations under any such contract shall likewise be prohibited.\" \n \ncollecting the taxes of that year. Such debt shall not exceed, in the aggregate, five percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred. The debt incurred shall be repaid on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred out of taxes levied for that fiscal year. No such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incurred to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury.\" \n \nArticle VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(b) of the Constitution provides that the state may incur: \n \nNo such debt has been incurred under this provision since its inception. \n \n\"Public debt to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury in any fiscal year created by a delay in \n \n707 \n \n TOTAL DEBT AUTHORIZED BY STATE IN GENERAL OBLIGATION AND REVENUE BONDS \n \nThe following table sets forth by pmpose the aggregate general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt authorized by the General Assembly of the State.

Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the department level. \nAll unencumbered annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end unless otherwise specified by constitutional or statutory provisions. Supplementary and amended appropriations may be enacted during the next legislative session by the same process used for original appropriations. \nEncumbrances are used to indicate the intent to purchase goods or services. Liabilities and expenditures are recorded upon issuance of completed purchase orders. Goods or services need not have been received for liabilities and expenditures to be recorded. \nFUND ACCOUNTING \nThe State of Georgia uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid fmancial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Funds presented in this report are follows: \nBudget Fund - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Appropriations Act. \nGeneral Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the collection of specific revenues of the State of \n \nGeorgia as provided by statute or administrative action; and transfers to the various state organizations for operational costs in the fiscal year. This is not a General Fund as defmed by generally accepted accounting principles. No appropriations of expenditures are made to the General Fund (Statutory Basis). \nDebt Service Fund (Statutory Basis) - The fund used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general obligation bond debt principal, interest and related costs. The unretired principal balance of general obligation bond issues is also reported in this fund, as is an \"amount to be provided\" (from future appropriations) for retirement of bond principal. This is not a Debt Service Fund as defmed by generally accepted accounting principles. \nAll funds included in this report are reported in conformity with statutory requirements. \nBASIS OF ACCOUNTING \nThe State of Georgia maintains its Budget Fund and its Debt Service Fund in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). \"Measurable\" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and \"available\" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Further, the modified accrual basis of accounting calls for ~xpenditures to be recorded when the related fund liability IS mcurred. Contractual obligations for services which have not been performed and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in accordance with Constitutional provisions and State budgetary policy. \nThe General Fund (Statutory Basis) is maintained substantially on the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting, with the exception of the accrual of amounts due to the various state organizations for operational costs of the fiscal year. \n \n712 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nAn understanding of the budget process in Georgia will help readers to use more easily the contents of the F.Y. 2000 Budget Report. The following information is presented for this purpose. \nAnnual state appropriations, as approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Govemor, are the authority for the expenditure of all state funds. Budgets are established for each agency based on appropriations, and state laws prescribe strict conditions that govern all expenditures. \nTHE SOURCES OF FUNDING \nBudgets are based on the availability of state general funds, state dedicated funds (such as motor fuel taxes, state lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund), reserves and surpluses, funds collected and retained for expenditure by agencies, federal funds, and a few smaller categories. Broadly, funds are identified in the Budget Report and in general use as state funds and total funds. The distinctions are: \nSTATE FUNDS--(l) The taxes and fees collected by the state and deposited directly into the state treasury to be appropriated; (2) Reserves; (3) Surplus funds; (4) Lottery receipts; (5) Indigent Care Trust Funds and (6) motor fuel tax funds, all of which form the basis for the Governor's revenue estimate. \nTOTAL FUNDS--All funds available for appropriation, including (1) State funds as described above; (2) Federal funds; and (3) Other funds from a number of sources, mostly fees and charges assessed and retained by agencies. \nSTATE FUNDS \nState funds generally comprise over half of the total appropriations in the budget. The state fund total is most frequently used in news reports and is the total that most often generates public debate and deliberations by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The level of federal and other funding is often driven by the level of state fund appropriations. \nTaxes represent the largest portion of state revenue sources, about 90%. The two largest tax sources are the income tax and the sales tax. Other revenue sources include fees and sales, lottery funds, and Indigent Care Trust Funds. \nFEDERAL AND OTHER FUNDS \nFederal funds flow directly to state agencies from the many federal programs that provide grants to state and local \n \ngovernments. While most federal funds for local governments go directly to the recipient cities and counties, some grant funds are distributed to local governments through the state budget. \nOther funds include a broad category of revenues that are collected by agencies and retained for expenditure without going through the state treasury. They are expressly approved by an appropriations act or can be amended into an agency's budget with approval of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB). \nFunds that are collected by agencies and turned over to the state treasury by law become state general funds and are available for appropriation by the General Assembly for any purpose. \nFunds retained by state agencies for direct expenditure include college tuition fees, state park revenues, and a host of other fees and collections for various services rendered. \nREVENUE ESTIMATE \nGeorgia's State Constitution requires that the General Assembly approve a budget that balances expenditures with anticipated fund availability. Therefore, each year's budget cannot exceed the total of revenues expected to be collected and any surplus or reserve funds that are available for expenditure. \nThe Governor, who is the Budget Director, is responsible for establishing the official revenue estimate. He is assisted in this responsibility by a state economist under contract as a consultant with OPB, which serves as the budget staff for the Governor. \nThe basis for making revenue projections is a computerized econometric model. From this model, a range of estimates is provided to the Governor by his economic advisor. In December, just prior to finalizing his budget recommendations to the General Assembly, the Governor adopts a final revenue estimate--an action that, when added to surplus and reserve funds, determines the size of the forthcoming appropriations bill. \nSURPLUS FUNDS \nSurplus funds come from two sources: (1) Excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate; and (2) Unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and may be available for re-appropriation. \nLapses occur in two ways: (1) Appropriation amounts that OPB never allotted to agencies for expenditure, an action that automatically puts the funds back into the \n \n713 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \ntreasury; and (2) Appropriations that were allotted for expenditure but were unspent at the end of the year. These funds are lapsed back into the treasury by the State Auditor following the annual audits of each agency. \nRESERVES \nTwo reserves are established by the state on June 30, the end of the state's fiscal year, if funds are available--the Midyear Adjustment Reserve and the Revenue Shortfall Reserve. \nThe Midyear Adjustment Reserve is established by the State Auditor on June 30 each year and represents 1% of net revenue collections for the prior fiscal year, to the extent surplus funds are available up to that total. The Reserve is set aside to be appropriated in an amended budget at the next session of the General Assembly. The Reserve is considered to be the primary fund source for the State Board of Education's \"Midterm Adjustment.\" This adjustment is appropriated in the amended budget each year to provide the state's share of the increased cost of new students enrolled in the fall. \nThe Revenue Shortfall Reserve is equal to 3% of the prior fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available, and is established after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. The Shortfall Reserve is the state's rainy day fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues at the end of the fiscal year. \nOccasionally, other reserves can be available for appropriation. For instance, the Motor Fuel Reserve represents funds earmarked for expenditure by the Department of Transportation in years when motor fuel tax collections exceed the original budgeted estimate for motor fuel collections in the preceding fiscal year. All motor fuel tax collections are constitutionally allocated to the Department of Transportation whether appropriated or not, but are routinely included in the state's amended budgets. \nHOW BUDGETS ARE APPROVED \nThe budget process for any given year, from the first planning stages to post-auditing, involves a series of actions spread over about two and one-half years. \nThree kinds of budgets can be approved in Georgia- -an original budget, an amended budget and a supplementary budget. An original budget is just what is says - - the first budget passed for a fiscal year. Generally, this budget remains in effect until the General Assembly convenes in January, at which time the budget is generally changed by adding appropriations, decreasing appropriations or shifting expenditures between object classes. \n \nAn amended budget is one in which any type of change can be made - - additions, deletions or transfers. A supplementary budget is one which includes only new spending. Generally, a supplementary bill is passed early in the session to provide appropriations needed before a more extensive amended bill can be passed. \nAll of these budgets, at the end of the session, become one operating budget for the state, with no distinction made for the various appropriations acts that are passed. \nThe General Assembly can meet at any time in special session and amend the budget in effect. These occasions are rare, having occurred only twice in recent decades. Both were triggered by recessions in Georgia that required major budget cuts to avoid spending more money than was available for expenditure. \nState law requires all state agencies to submit a request for appropriations for the next fiscal year to OPB no later than September 1 of each year. Most agencies start preliminary work on these requests in the spring for a fiscal year that is 14 to 15 months in the future. At the same time, agencies may request amendments for changes in the current fiscal year's budget. \nIn early September, the Governor begins a four-month period in which he studies the budget requests of each department and develops his recommendations to the General Assembly. During this interim, he meets with department heads and consul!s with OPB staff in fmalizing his proposals. \nBUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS \nThe Governor normally appears before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the first week in January to announce his recommendations for amending the current year's budget. The next year's budget recommendations are announced by the Governor during his annual Budget Message, which is delivered to a joint legislative session during the first week of the annual session. The Legislature convenes on the second Monday in January. \nLEGISLATIVE ACTION \nBy law, an appropriations bill is introduced in the House of Representatives and first goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being vote4 on by the entire House. The bill follows a similar path through the Senate. The House and Senate versions usually differ. While still working within the total revenue estimate established by the Governor, a conference committee is then appointed to reach a compromise on the two versions. The conference committee's version must be \n \n714 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \ntotally accepted or rejected by each house. A rejection results in appointment of a new conference committee. \nThe process is the same for amended and outyear appropriations bills. The only difference is the General Assembly generally takes actions on amended and supplementary bills before taking up the budget for the following year. That is done because changes in the current year's budget often impact the following year's budget. \nADMINISTRATION OF THE BUDGET \nOnce an Appropriations Act has been signed into law, OPB, on behalf of the Governor, is responsible for ensuring that all state expenditures conform to the legislative mandate. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed spending authorizations by total appropriations or by object class. This is accomplished through approval by OPB of an annual operating budget, quarterly allotments and expenditure reports. \nAfter the fiscal year ends, the State Auditor is responsible for auditing all expenditures of every state agency and operation, including all colleges and universities, authorities and school districts. \n \nOBJECT CLASS APPROPRIATIONS \nAll funds are appropriated through common and unique object classes. There are more than a dozen common object classes such as personal services, regular operating expenses, capital outlay, travel and real estate rentals. Unique object classes, of which there are almost 100 in the State Board of Education alone, usually relate only to a specific agency. \nThe Appropriations Act in recent years has provided some flexibility for state agencies by authorizing some transfers between common object classes. The limits are: no common object class spending can exceed 102 percent of appropriations for that class, and total spending on all common object classes cannot exceed the total funds authorized. \nFurther transfers between these object classes are possible with permission of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Governor. \n \nJuly - August September 1st October - December \nJanuary \nFebruary - March \nApril May-June July I' \n \nBudget Development Calendar \nAgencies develop and finalize budget request information. \nAgencies submit budget requests to the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) for compilation, review, and analysis. \nOPB assists the Governor in developing the official revenue estimate and expenditure recommendations, and in preparing the budget report documents. \nThe Governor presents the budget reports to amend the current fiscal year budget, and for the upcoming fiscal year budget, to the General Assembly. \nBudget hearings are held by appropriation committees and appropriation acts are passed to amend the current fiscal year budget ending June 30th, and for the upcoming fiscal year effective July l't. \nGovernor signs acts into law, and may veto specific line-item appropriations. \nBudgets are loaded into financial systems and verified for consistency with final appropriation actions. \nNew fiscal year begins. \n \n715 \n \n GEORGIA STATISTICS \nPhysical Characteristics \n \nLand Area Total Land Under Public Ownership Total Forested Land Highest Elevation Largest Lake (all lakes are man-made) Longest River \n \n57,919 square miles 4,982 square miles (9%) 37,500 square miles (64%) Brasstown Bald Mountain, 4,784 feet Clark Hill Reservoir (112 square miles) Chattahoochee (426 miles) \n \nState Highway Public Roads (miles) (1996) Interstate Arterial Collector Local \n \n!k12lYl 807 8,183 5,834 19 \n \nRural \n585 2,339 \n20 5 \n \nSocio-Economic Characteristics \n \nThtlll \n1,392 10,522 5,854 \n24 \n \nGeorgia Population Growth \n \n...-. \n \nell \n \nC \n \n:O5s 1; 1 \n \n'-' \n \n:o.=c.g.;. \nQ\" Q \n \n~j \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n=- \n \n1940 \n \n1950 \n \n1960 \n \n1970 \n \n1980 \n \n1990 \n \n2000 \n \nYear \n(2000 is estimated) \n \nPopulation (1997 estimated) (millions) % of Population Age 17 \u0026 Under (1997) % of Population 65 \u0026 Older (1997) Median Age of Population (1990) % of Population by Race (1996) \n \nWhite Black Other \n \nMedian Household Income (1995) Average Annual Pay (1996) % of Population Below Poverty Level (1995) Civilian Labor Force Unemployment Rate \nGeorgia (1996) Atlanta (1998) \n \nHousing Starts (1996) I Rank is based on 1 being the highest \n \nGeoreia 7.486 26.6% 9.9% 31.5 \n69.8 28.2 2.0 \n34,099 27,488 12.1% \n4.6 3.3 \n79,800 \n \nNational Ayeraee 5.25 26.0% 12.8% n/a \n \nState Rank!

The adjusted base consists of the F.Y. 1999 Annual Operating Budget, less non-recurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize the F.Y. 1999 pay for performance. \nAGENCY 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. \nALLOTMENT: The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure. Before each fiscal year begins, agencies must file an annual operating budget plan based on an Appropriations Act. Allotments are requested quarterly based on the plan. Once a quarterly allotment is approved for an agency, that agency can draw funds as needed. \nAMENDED 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.\" \nANNUAL 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. \nANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENTRevisions to the annual operating budget which must be submitted to OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of funds from one activity/function to another. \nAPPROPRIATION-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. \nAPPROPRIATIONS 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. \n \nATTACHED AGENCIES-Small agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for \"administrative purposes only\" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive funding through the larger agency. Authorities by law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur. \nATTRITION-A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees. \nAUSTERITY REDUCTIONS-Spending cuts throughout all departments of state government as a result of slower growth in revenues than expected, resulting in projected shortfalls in anticipated revenue growth. \nAUTHORITY-A public corporation formed to undertake a state responsibility that operates in a competitive fmancial and business environment and should be run like a business corporation. Most authorities generate revenue and need to operate without the strict regiment of rules that confme most departments of government. Authorities usually have the power to issue revenue bonds to construct facilities. \nBUDGET-A complete fmandal plan for a specific fiscal year as proposed in the Governor's Budget Report and as modified and adopted by appropriations and revenue acts. \nBUDGET 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 which have been outlined in comprehensive strategic plans for the state and each of its agencies. Through the implementation of Results-Based Budgeting, which is now underway, expenditures will be more closely linked to program achievements and results. 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. \nBUDGET CLASS-See object class. \nBUDGET CYCLE-A period of time in which a specific budget is in effect, usually 12 months. See fiscal year for dates applying to state and federal budgets. \nBUDGET ESTIMATE-A statement which accompanies explanations, as required by state law, in which a budget \n \n723 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nunit states its fmancial requirements and requests for appropriations. Also known as an agency's budget request, which must be submitted to OPB by September I of each year. \nBUDGET MESSAGE-A speech by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor outlines his spending proposals and revenue projections, including recommendations for increasing or decreasing revenues, that are embodied in an accompanying budget document. The formal budget message, dealing primarily with the following year's budget, is made to a joint session during the first week that the Legislature convenes. A speech detailing the Governor's Amended Budget recommendations is made to a joint session of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the week before the session. \n \nprograms related to providing and maintaining an adequate system of public roads and bridges. \nDEBT LIMITATION-The State Constitution places a ceiling on state indebtedness by limiting general obligation bond debt service payments to 10 percent of net treasury receipts for the prior fiscal year. \nEMERGENCY FUND-An appropriation to the Office of the Governor that is set aside for the Governor to provide grants to state agencies to meet emergency needs. Grants from the fund cannot involve a recurring obligation. \nENHANCEMENT FUNDS-Funding in F.Y. 2000 for required services that are above the 100 percent adjusted base level.

The Budget Report includes the Governor's official estimate of state revenue to be collected during the fiscal year and details any surplus, reserve or other funds that are available for expenditure. The fund availability outlined by the Governor determines the size of the budget for any given year. The Budget Report for the following year is also known as the \"big budget,\" the \"outyear budget\" and the \"Governor's budget.\" The Amended Budget Report, which recommends changes to the budget in effect when it is presented, is known as the \"little budget.\" \nBUDGET UNIT-A department, board, commISSIOn, office, institution or other unit of organization which has, under general law, an independent existence and thus is authorized to receive and expend an appropriation.

These funds can be appropriated in cashfrom state general funds, lottery funds or other funds--or be provided through the sale of general obligation bonds or revenue bonds. \nCONFERENCE COMMITTEE-A group of six legislators-three Representatives and three Senators-who are appointed by the presiding officers of the respective houses to reconcile different versions of the appropriations bill and other legislation that have been passed by the House and Senate. \nDEDICATED FUNDS-Funds collected from a specific revenue source that must be appropriated for a specific expenditure. An example in Georgia is motor fuel tax funds, which must be constitutionally appropriated for \n \nENTITLEMENT PROGRAM8-Certain programs, usually federal in origin, that provide benefits to individuals based on specific eligibility requirements. Medicaid is the largest entitlement program operated by the state. \nFEDERAL FUNDS-Funding from the federal government to pay for all or portions of specific programs.

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. \nFISCAL YEAR-Any 12-month period at the end in which fmancial accounts are balanced.

All of our reserves are full; the current outlook for our revenue estimate for the current fiscal year is very positive; and I pledge to you that my administration will continue sound financial planning and use of our citizens tax dollars. \nMy supplemental budget reflects funding recommendations for necessary adjustments for which the midyear adjustment reserve was intended. This budget uses surplus funds for emergencies, investments in education, economic development opportunities and the improvement of the state's infrastructure necessary to meet the demands of a growing population. \nFirst, we have set aside $170 million to complete the task of making all of our computer systems Year 2000 compliant. This funding is primarily for equipment and necessary infrastructure changes for the state's computer systems. Becoming computer compliant for the Year 2000 remains one of the most important challenges we face. We are well under way with remediating the computer programs using the $152 million appropriated last year. I am confident that state services will not be seriously interrupted on January 1, 2000 because of computer failure. I have included the $170 million in a supplementary appropriation bill as was done last year. In a related matter, this year's amended budget recommendation also continues funding for the modernization of the Department of Revenue's tax systems at $10.5 million, bringing the total allocated thus far to $42 million. My administration is committed to completing this modernization project as quickly as possible. \nThe financial summary page of this document reflects a recommendation that I am pleased to announce: a recommendation to carry forward $83 million of our surplus into Fiscal Year 2000 to initiate my property tax proposal. I will discuss the property tax proposal in much more detail in my Fiscal Year 2000 budget report and budget message to the 1999 General Assembly. I am committed to using some of our prosperity to lessen the property tax burden and I chose to begin the phase-in of my proposal during my first legislative session as Governor of this state. \nA midyear adjustment of $85 million for a 1.9% increase in local school system student growth is recommended. Along with this growth item, we have provided for other education adjustments such as pupil transportation, vocational equipment for new schools, funding for testing services and a very important vision screening program for grades Kindergarten through two. \nFor our lottery supported items I have included a minor adjustment for the HOPE scholarship program using surplus lottery funds. The lottery surplus also makes it possible to allocate $59.4 million for construction funding to our fast growing school systems at the maximum entitlement level. \n \n Controlling crime is still at the forefront of our citizens' concerns. You will see a major spending initiative in this budget to begin adding more prison beds. I realize how expensive it is to run a prison. For that reason, we will be looking at less expensive ways to house prisoners that do not pose a security threat to us or prison officials while those prisoners serve their time. State funds of $66.8 million have been allocated for additional bed space for criminals. \nKeeping our economy strong and productive is also something that my administration will be emphasizing throughout my tenn in office. I am recommending that we add over $25 million in state and motor fuel funds to provide the necessary match for the additional federal money we will begin receiving from the new Federal transportation bill. In recognition of the need to continue pressing forward with mass transit options, I am recommending over $3 million to match local and federal dollars to help initiate a bus system in Gwinnett County and $1.9 million to evaluate the feasibility of a light rail line between Marietta and Lawrenceville. I am also recommending $42.7 million to continue the Georgia Research Alliance's research and development efforts to strengthen our capacity to compete for technology based industries. \nHealth care costs continue to increase beyond our current employee and employer revenues and it is becoming financially more difficult to provide coverage to employees. We are recommending using $35 million of surplus funds to shore up our insurance reserves. I will be looking at ways to lower our health care cost during the next year without sacrificing the quality of coverage that we need to attract and retain a quality workforce. \nI have decided to include my first capital budget within the amended budget for this year. The total amount of bonds being recommended is $758 million, which includes $225 million for the World Congress Center. The planning and design funds for this project were appropriated last year, and it is extremely important that we move forward with the construction funding as soon as possible. The remaining bonds are divided between public schools and university system facilities, important economic development and infrastructure needs, improving the state's Crime Laboratory facilities and other priority capital projects. Our AAA bond rating has resulted in the state's lowest ever interest cost of financing our major capital construction needs. I believe this bond package represents a sound investment to keep us on track with our facility and infrastructure needs. \nI think you will find this amended budget proposal a fiscally sound and prudent use of our taxpayer's resources.

\n Zell Miller \nGOVERNOR \n \nSTATE OF GEORGIA \nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR \nATLANTA 30334-0900 \n \nTO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: \n \nIn presenting to you the eighth and last budget of my Administration I am continuing to follow the same sound financial and business practices that I began with in 1990. Our fiscal situation has changed dramatically since then which I think can be attributed to the good stewardship we have demonstrated in investing the state's fiscal resources. Our record will attest to this. \nOne of the records that I am most proud of is the one involving money we did not spend, deciding to return it to our citizens in the form of tax reductions. The income tax relief that I am proposing for 1998 will increase the amount of taxes eliminated to almost $900 million during my eight years in office. That is an unprecedented achievement that no other Administration in Georgia's history can even closely match. \nThe new tax cut, one of five over the last eight years, will increase the personal and dependent exemptions on the income tax to $2,700 and to $1,300 for those over 65 to match the federal exemption rate. This tax cut will mean an annual savings of $168 a year for an average family of four, a 15 percent tax cut. More than 5.2 million Georgia taxpayers and dependents will enjoy the benefits if this proposal is approved by the General Assembly. \nThis tax cut - second largest in Georgia's history - will cost $205 million in the Fiscal Year 1999 budget, and these funds have been set aside from revenue projections. Even so, the 1999 state fund budget will increase by $756,860,000 over the existing budget now in effect for Fiscal Year 1998. Coincidentally, the last of four stages in the largest tax cut in Georgia's history will take effect October 1 ofthis budget. Thus, we will be implementing parts ofthe two largest tax cuts for Georgia taxpayers at the same time, and will still have adequate resources for new expenditures to deal with the needs of our state. \nEducation has been my single highest program priority. We have accomplished much in education through an increase in state general funds as well as the extra spending that has been possible through voter approval of the Georgia Lottery. My Fiscal Year 1999 lottery proposals call for spending $530 million in lottery funds for education. Since 1994 the amount of lottery receipts that have been invested in the education of our children totals $3,013,000,000. We will be reaping the benefits of this money for years. \n \n I am recommending a 6 percent teacher pay raise in Fiscal Year 1999 for the fourth straight , year, increasing to 24 percent the amount of teacher raises we have funded during my second term. \nThese raises have surged our teachers past the Southern average. And the Southern Regional Education Board projects that we could pass the national average in the 1999-2000 school year. \nEnrollment continues to increase in all of our educational systems. We have had in place for some time the provision of additional facilities needed to handle our public school and technical institute enrollment growth, but I did not believe we were doing enough for higher education. I began to change that situation in recent years. The allocation of$185,120,000 in bonds for Regents in the 1999 budget will bring the total to $1,023,074,090 in capital outlay spending on college facilities during my Administration, the largest portion coming in my second term. \nGuaranteeing the health of our children is an important consideration if Georgia is to substantially improve the lives of all citizens as we approach the 21 5t century. I am taking a major step towards this goal by recommending funding and legislation that will provide access to health care coverage to more than 228,000 children in Georgia who now have no health insurance protection. The total cost of this program will be $78 million -- $20 million in state funds and $58 million in federal funds - but I believe this is a cost that will more than pay for itself in many different ways. \nThe health insurance program has three components: \n Expanded Medicaid coverage for pregnant women and 24,000 children from birth to age 5 up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. \n Private health insurance costing only $7.50 a month for 88,000 children, to be administered by the State Merit System. \n Private health insurance at significantly reduced rates for 166,000 children above 200 percent of poverty. \nI have mentioned here just a few of the initiatives that I feel are important to the people of Georgia. These and other initiatives are discussed more fully in the Budget Highlights section that follows and in the various department sections of this document. They represent a strong affirmation that we have supported programs for the benefit of our people and to improve their lives. I came into office with a belief that this is the role of government, and I have not once wavered from that belief. My budget recommendations stand as proof of that fact. \n \n F.Y. 1999 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \n \nAPPROPRIATIONS AND REVENUES \n Appropriations totaling $12,528,603,880 are recommended for expenditure by state agencies in F.Y. 1999, which begins on July 1, 1998 and ends on June 30, 1999. \nThe appropriations would be funded from the following sources: \n--$11,849,775,000 from taxes and fees as estimated by the Governor, an increase of $731,150,000, or 6.6% over the F.Y. 1998 budget of $11,118,625,000. \n--$530 million from lottery proceeds. --$148,828,880 from the Indigent Care Trost Fund. \nTAX CUTS \n $205 million to cut state income taxes for more than 5.2 million Georgians. The action, as proposed by the Governor, will raise the income tax personal exemption for both taxpayers and dependents to $2,700 each beginning January 1, 1998. The current exemption is $1,500 for taxpayers and $2,500 for dependents. The tax cut will provide annual savings of $168 a year for an average family offour, a 15 percent tax cut. \nIn addition, the plan raises the deductions for senior citizens from $700 to $1,300, benefiting more than 300,000 senior citizens. \nWhile this tax cut-the second largest in Georgia's history-is being put into effect, the state will be implementing the fourth and final year of the elimination of the state's 4 cents sales tax on groceries, starting on October 1, 1998. The fiscal impact will be $129,000,000 in F.Y. 1999 and $44,000,000 in the first three months of F.Y. 2000, increasing the total cost to $550 million It is the largest tax cut in Georgia's history. \nIn alL Governor Miller has cut taxes five times during his eight-year Administration for total tax relief of $878,000,000. \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES \n \n--6% funding level for merit raises to University System faculty and support personnel, to be awarded on July 1, 1998 for non-academic personnel and on September 1, 1998 for academic personnel. \n--6% for technical institute teachers, public librarians and adult literacy instructors, effective September 1, 1998. \nThe pay raises for teachers fulfill a commitment by Governor Miller at the beginning of his second term to work towards placing them above the national average in salaries.

Georgia's teachers' salaries have now risen to first in the Southeast, and the Southern Regional Education Board projects that their salaries should rise above the national average in F.Y. 2000. \nState Employees --Pay for Performance range (0%, 4%, 5.5% and 7%) \nfor state employees within the Executive Branch, effective October 1, 1998.

Budgetary Concepts Sector Separation. The economic income which Georgians enjoy results from an interaction of government sectors with the private sector in the utilization of the State's resources. In long-term perspective, the sectors complement each other in extending the resource base and in enhancing the explicit and the implicit incomes produced for households. In the short-term, nonetheless, what one sector uses the other must forgo. Fortunately, productivity advantages can compensate for specialized absorption. The private sector combines its purchases of inputs in various markets with government-provided services and durables and produces those things which the public will buy. In contrast, governments first reach into the private sector with fees and taxes to get revenues. After buying various goods and services from the private sector, they then use their own \"non-profit\" technologies to generate \"non-priced\" outputs and to return these to businesses and individuals as \"free\" capital (like highways or an educated work force) or as service incomes (like those from parks, welfare, or general education). Since no market mechanism operates to diminish or augment the size of sectors, the division of the resource base is managed mainly through political institutions. Incremental Adjustment. As technologies, public preferences, and concentrations of people and activities shift, so do the ways in which government and private sectors interact in support of citizen wellbeing. By and large, the extents and forms of participation are altered incrementally. \nat Despite increasing efforts strategic ordering, the long-term \ngovernment-private path of participation is still ruled more by persistent political ideals and short-term political opportunism than by far-sighted planning. For example, there are no budgets to define governments' roles over a decade. Nor are there budgets incorporating the flows of services from existing infrastructure (like roads) and melding them with flows from new infrastructure being put in place or planned. But, the long-term span is nevertheless made up ofa sequence of shortterm periods. Consequently, annual budgets hone the preferred combinations of private and government spheres of activity. New programs and products compete with established services and goods for scarce government dollars. Pilot programs evolve and become general. Improvements for one group or area seep to other voters and places. By \"political nudging\", budgets for single fiscal years are used to head participation paths in the direction of the currentlyviewed \"best mix\" of sector outputs. \nSectoral Inertia. The State's budget for Fiscal year 1999 is not a stand-alone fiscal proposal. It is developed against the backdrop of what is happening in the private sector and what trends have been emerging. It builds upon what the State has \n \ndone, is doing, expects to do, and is expected to do. It is attuned to the economic momentum of both the government and the private sectors. As the budget reinforces and extends, so too it eases and narrows the role of government. Overall, the purpose of the Fiscal Year 1999 budget is to foster a politically-preferred sectoral interaction suited to today's thinking about government's productive capacity. Thereby, it acts to elevate flows of all kinds ofpersonal income. \nOualitative Content. Significantly, the budget includes no measures of the intensity of the government's reach-in for funds and of its return of goods and services to the private sector. Neither does the budget register whether the reach-in and the return are done clumsily or efficiently. In fact, only one qualitative dimension is firmly imbedded in current Georgia practice. The Constitution requires that budgeted expenditures be \"balanced\" by available surplus and expected collection of revenues from new and existing sources. Government must \"pay\" its way. This requirement speaks against the State's use of an outreach through borrowing to augment general funds. While borrowing in the creation of capital is expected, \"smoothing\" of government's involvement in the economy via the use of off-budget funds is not allowed. \nAlthough general-obligation debt is not permitted to enlarge the supply of general funds, the Constitution does require that annual charges for debt service (interest and principal) be given first-claim on general revenues. Moreover, the law restricts debt service payments to 10 percent of the prior year's general-fund revenues. Though capital financing through debt issuance is an \"off-budget activity\", such borrowing then turns out to reduce simultaneously the level of \"disposable\" general funds. This feedback makes borrowing less attractive. The notion of \"affordable debt\", the borrowing restraint built into the State's Debt Management Plan, is thus rendered one of \"affordable general funds\". \nInformal qualitative bounds on the budget also exist. A self-imposed limitation, one given prominence in the administration of Governor Zell Miller, calls for the annual filling to maximum statutory levels of the State's two formal budgetary reserves. Such filling is possible only if the spending of general funds leaves \"excess\" collections at year's end. Under the Midyear Adjustment Reserve (1982), up to one percent of the State's prior-year net revenues can be made available for appropriation by the General Assembly at midyear in an effort to meet expenditure \"needs\" not satisfied in the full-year budget. Under the Revenue Shortfall Reserve (1976), up to three percent of net revenues of the prior year can be held as a potential \"smoother\" of expenditures. The reserve can be drawn upon when services are simultaneously threatened by a private sector slowdown and when offset through changes in taxes is not politically feasible. In earlier administrations, the policy of maintaining reserves by including both the needed funds and the budget within the estimated revenues was treated as volitional. Under Governor Miller's approach, in contrast, reserve maintenance has become \n \n14 \n \n a virtual component of the budget and, as such, has been \n \ncovered routinely by the Governor's revenue estimate. Important qualitative restraints are not necessarily \npolitical. Some restraints are imposed upon the budget by the private sector. One limitation again involves debt issuance. Corporations which sell credit ratings on states to the Nation's inveStment community emphasize as indicators of repayment \n \nFIGURE I \n \nSTATE GOVERNMENT'S CLAIM ON INCOME \n \nBil . 97$ \n \nGEORGIA: F.Y. 1972 - F.Y. 1997 \n \n(Ratio Scale) \n \n6.60 -r-------------------, \n \nlikelihood the ratios of a state's debt to state personal income, \n \n6.40 \n \npopulation, and tax revenues.

The path downshift apparent in Figure III will endure. Greater efficiency and productivity in the delivery of government services is allowing more \"needs\" to be met with fewer revenues. \nThe diversity in revenue sources which the rating agencies prefer is apparent in the representation of Figure IV. From the economic downturn in 1990 through the year 1997, individual income taxes have grown the most rapidly. In Fiscal Year 1991, the yield from this tax made up 40.9 percent of the State's net revenues; by 1997, the proportion had reached 42.7 percent. Corporate income taxes made the \n \n81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 \n \nsharpest recovery among the three taxes after their slide from \n \nFiscal Year \n \n1990 through 1992.

Inspection shows that the revenue-growth path that applied from roughly 1983 to 1989 was interrupted in 1990.

Despite levelling in Fiscal Year 1997, the sales tax collections rose by 48.4 percent from 1990 to 1997. Their proportion of total revenues eased from 38.0 percent to 36.5 over the same period. \n \nwas launched along a growth path \n \nas steep as that of the eighties but considerably downshifted.

The Revenue Prospect The conservative nature ofthe estimate of revenues which finances the Fiscal Year 1999 budget and maintains the budgetary reserves has been asserted. It is made clearer by review of current trends in the private sector of the Georgia \n \neconomy, As shown in Figure V, employment in services and in wholesale and retail trade have lead the state's expansion in employment since 1990. Of the roughly 611,000 gain in nonagricultural employment from 1990 to 1997,314,000 workers have been added in services and 172,000 in trade. Although manufacturing employment has had weaker growth, manufacturing workers are more numerous in Georgia today than they were in 1990. In the Nation, fewer manufacturing workers are to be found. These advances have put Georgia's rank in employment gains in the top quarter of the states for the years 1994-1997 (Figure VI). While both Georgia's ranking and growth were stronger in the eighties, the 2.7 percent average annual advance in the last three years has kept Georgia's income growing robustly. \nPersonal income gains in the state have averaged 7.0 percent per year since 1990. Since 1994, the rates of gain in income have remained stable at approximately 7.5 percent. Employment gains have eased to the 3.5 to 4.5 percent range and, as apparent in Figure V, slow slippage in growth is continuing. Yet, there is no suggestion that the rates of gain will slow abruptly. Although population growth is easing as well and business expansion is cooling somewhat, the probable growth in the private sector through 1999 remains in the 6-7 percent range for income and the 1.5 to 2.5 percent range for employment. This combination will be sufficient to keep revenues flowing above the modest expectations implicit in the revenue estimate undergirding the Fiscal Year 1999 budget. \n \nFIGURE VI GEORGIA'S NON-AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENT \nRANKED AVERAGE ANNUAL GAINS FROM 1981 OR 1990 PEAK \n \nAverage Percentage Gain \n4 \n3 \n2 \n \nState Rank (Right Scale) \n \nGeorgia's State Ranking \no \n30th \n \no \n \n50th \n \n-I \nAverage Annual Gains (Left Scale) -2 \n \n-3 +----+-----1-----+----+----+----+----+----1 \n \n81 - 90 \n \n91 \n \n92 \n \n93 \n \n94 \n \n95 \n \n96 \n \n97 \n \n17 \n \n RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \n \nThe State of Georgia is in the second year of implementing Results-based Budgeting. This new budget system is designed to support a more efficient and effective state 'government that will be more accountable and responsive to the public for all tax dollars spent. This Results-based Budgeting (REB) process is being phased in over the next several years. This methodical implementation will ensure that state budget and program personnel have the knowledge base for successful implementation. \nWhen fully implemented, REB will move the state towards a results-oriented budget as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act (Senate Bill 335). The new system will better link planning and evaluation to budget development and management. Results measures will be used more systematically to assess progress made toward meeting state goals and objectives for each department or agency of state government. Through REB, all activities of state government will be grouped into programs and subprograms. For each program, a program purpose, goal, and desired result that can be accomplished during the fiscal year will be developed. This desired result will be measured at the completion of the funding period and progress toward achieving the result will be measured. \nLast year, state agencies began this budgeting process by identifying all of their programs and developing a program purpose and goals for each program. Additionally, the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided Financial Summaries that indicated the total cost of each program. \nThis year, this REB program information has been expanded to include the desired results for each program. A reader can review the various programs that define a department, the purpose and goals of that program, the measurable results that the program intends to provide the citizens and state government and the money that is spent achieving these results. This initiative is designed to relate program results with program expenditures. The Governor and the General Assembly can then decide through public debate whether or not the State is making the proper investment. \nMost of the agencies will be establishing their baseline data on their desired results during this fiscal year. It will therefore require another year to actually begin to assess the progress that agency programs are making in achieving these results. This year is the benchmark year for most programs. \n \nIn a memorandum to all state agency heads in May 1996, Governor Miller wrote of his full commitment to REB and encouraged the same commitment from agency heads. The Governor wrote: \n\"Constantly focusing our attention on not simply how we spend our resources, but rather on what we achieve or accomplish will keep Georgia on the right track towards effectively addressing the most important needs of Georgia citizens. .I think we can substantially implement this new concept as we develop the state budget over the next two years. Approaching this challenge with the same dedication with which you implemented budget redirection will carry the state and this administration a long way towards fulfilling the vision I have for a fiscally sound, effective and results-oriented state government.\" \nResults-based Budgeting is a method the state will use to require accountability for every tax dollar spent by every Executive Branch department. REB will organize a process of gathering information and documenting the state's efforts of whether or not expenditures are actually achieving stated goals and results. \nThe specific goals of Results-based Budgeting include: \n Focus the legislative process upon the policy implications of funds expended in state agency programs and services. \n Identify similar programs across state agencies and assess total impact. \n Identify successful and unsuccessful programs.  Enable programs to be evaluated and funded on \nthe basis of achieving a specific desired result.  Aid policy makers in determining if it is in the \nbest interest of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result; i.e., is it worth it?  Enhance the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in programs across agency organizational boundaries. \nTo enhance state government's ability to understand and implement REB, the Office of Planning and Budget and the State Merit System Training Division developed and provided REB training to over 600 state budget and program personnel. This has enhanced the quality of this year's REB submissions from the agencies and the information provided in this year's budget document. \n \n18 \n \n STATE STRATEGIC PLAN -1998 \nThis State Strategic Plan for Georgia has been developed by the Governor's Office and the Office of Planning and Budget. The plan fulfills the statutory requirements for a state strategic plan as outlined in Code Section 45-12-73. It represents the second state strategic plan and a comprehensive vision for the future of Georgia. The strategic plan provides a view of the Georgia of tomorrow and the activities that are presently underway to move toward that future. Additional initiatives are identified that should be undertaken to attain our vision. The plan focuses on results necessary to achieve the vision. \n \nVISION FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA \nGeorgia is a land blessed with natural resources and is fortunate to have residents who have been willing to work hard to support a dream for their children. It is this dream of a better future that has been the driving force behind our state's economic development in the last generation. While we have made much progress toward meeting that goal, there is still work to be done. \nAchieving this goal of a brighter future will require work and perseverance. It will not simply happen but will occur only if we take the necessary steps that are required. These steps must be taken concurrently in a variety of areas which, while important separately, together can create the dynamic climate that will make Georgia a national leader. \nCitizens, communities and governments of Georgia must find new ways to solve problems. These local problems are often statewide problems and statewide solutions have proven to be difficult to identify or implement. This will require new levels of cooperation and partnerships between all levels of government and all segments of local communities to focus on getting results in areas of common concern. State government must be a catalyst for innovative solutions and provide support to communities by reducing bureaucratic barriers and unnecessary regulations. \nGeorgians deserve an educational system which will allow them to reach their full potential by giving them the knowledge and skills needed for the new challenges of tomorrow. It must provide both the opportunities to learn, such as the pre-kindergarten program, and tangible rewards for hard work, as provided by HOPE scholarships. In the future, Georgians will see education as a lifetime experience that prepares the individual for the constantly changing conditions of a world community. \nAll Georgians also have the right to lead a life in a secure and safe community in which crime is controlled and fear of crime becomes a relic of another time. Government will maintain effective law enforcement to protect the public and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. By continuing to build a fair and effective judicial system, Georgia will create a climate of respect for the law that will help to break the cycle of violence found in parts of our society. \nA prosperous future will be based on a strong state economy that can compete successfully with the nation and the world. Georgia's economic growth must be protected by continuing a multifaceted strategy which attracts new \n \nindustry, strengthens existing industry and provides the foundation and infrastructure necessary to foster economic growth. \nIn developing industry, Georgia must also be careful to protect the very resources upon which our prosperity is based. Rich agricultural areas, expansive forests, and abundant water have helped to foster strong growth. These resources must be protected in order to assure continued prosperity in the future. By developing resources in an ecologically sound manner, building upon the format established by Preservation 2000 and River Care 2000, Georgia can ensure that it maintains the very resources which have created its current prosperity. \nA good quality of life for themselves and for their children has long been a goal of all Georgians. Adults as well as children deserve a social environment that allows them to develop to their fullest potential. Human services must be guided by principles that encourage and develop individual responsibility and accountability. Special emphasis must be given to policies that strengthen the family unit, because it is the breakdown of the family that has created the most serious consequences affecting the social and economic conditions in which children are now raised. \nIn striving to create a better future, state government cannot work alone. Because of limited resources, government is just one of many partners in the public and private sectors which must work together if a better future is to be achieved. Our challenge is to keep government as a good partner, one that encourages quality development and growth, in partnership with communities to maximize local solutions to issues and problems. To accomplish this goal, government must work to deliver services to citizens in an efficient and effective manner. This state government must focus on getting results and on continuously measuring the progress on achieving results. An ineffective government will drain our economic strength and threaten our prosperity. \nAs we proceed along convergent paths in all of these areas, a better Georgia will emerge. This better Georgia will be built on a network of improving communities that are partnering with state government to improve the lives of Georgians with a focus on results. Our state will thrive in a climate of fiscal responsibility and personal security. It will prosper with the strength of an educated, well-trained workforce and an infrastructure unrivaled in the world. \n \n19 \n \n STRATEGIC AGENDA PRIORITIES \nThe strategic plan focuses on six primary issues that the Governor believes to be the top priorities in setting the agenda for moving into the future. These six major issues are: \nEducation As the information society becomes a reality, the role of \neducation is growing in significance. Intellectual capital is becoming a medium of exchange, and individuals are challenged to learn and grow to the limits of their capacity. More than ever, education is a prerequisite for a good job and an improved standard of living. The future of Georgia's communities will be built upon an educated citizemy. In the future, Georgia's communities will work to coordinate resources in creative ways. Local educational institutions will serve as hubs for community activity centers oflifelong learning. The state's role will evolve to better support schools and colleges in local communities. Information on strategies for success must be shared, and we will hold local schools and colleges accountable for results. Schools and colleges are vital tools to ensure the overall well being of local communities as they work to create a culture of education throughout the state. With a strong vision of the long-term destination and a sharp focus on the desired results for education, we will build stronger partnerships between the state and local communities so that education serves our people well. \nCrime and Public Safety All Georgians have a right to live in safe and secure \ncommunities. Governments, both state and local, have a responsibility to provide for the public safety. To accomplish this, the state must maintain well-trained, effective law enforcement and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. Persons who commit a crime must be aware that they will be caught and retribution will be paid to the fullest extent of the law. Georgia's laws will be the toughest on violent criminals in the nation. The Georgia judicial system must be organized and staffed so that the enforcement of Georgia's laws can be administered quickly, efficiently and fairly. While we must ensure that the judicial system protects the rights of the accused, the system must also protect the rights of the victim. Finally, state government must create partnerships with communities to solve Georgia's crime problem. By working together with an eye on results, we can focus on turning troubled, at-risk juveniles from lives of crime. \nEconomic Development Private industry is the driving force behind Georgia's \neconomic development. However, state and local governments play a critical role in providing the infrastructure and business environment in which private industry exists. Georgia's economic growth has consistently out-performed the national average. Consequently, Georgia must continue to enhance its \n \neconomic growth. Our goal is to maintain Georgia's strong economic growth rate to provide ongoing opportunities to Georgians. This goal will be achieved through a multifaceted strategy that attracts new industry, builds and supports existing industry, involves local governments, promotes Georgia and its products to the world, and provides the foundation and infrastructure for new industries of the future. \nHuman Senices All Georgians want a good quality of life for themselves \nand their families. Children should grow up in a safe and nurturing environment that helps them develop to their fullest potential. To accomplish this, Georgia has returned to the original purpose of public welfare: a short-term hand up to help families get back on their feet rather than a longterm handout for life. Georgians will have access to education, training, and support services that provide an opportunity to break the cycle of welfare dependency. Our health-eare system will be strengthened to provide costeffective, quality care. The system will emphasize prevention, education, early intervention, and increased individual responsibility for personal health. Citizens will receive the support and care needed to maintain functional independence so they can continue to live in their communities as long as possible. \nThe Environment Georgians are blessed to live in a state with remarkable \necological diversity. To maintain this diversity over time, the citizens of Georgia are becoming better stewards of the environment. Environmental diversity is a strength. It must be preserved and protected so that the children of tomorrow can enjoy the same wonders as their parents do today. This is why environmental protection is so important and has been a special focus over the last six years. By acting now, the future of Georgia's environment will be clean, diverse, well managed, and available for all citizens to use and enjoy in the Georgia of tomorrow. \nAn Efficient and Effective State Government Delivering valued services to citizens, the customers of \nstate government, must continue to be the primary concern of every government agency and every public employee. Georgians demand increased accountability and state stewardship of public monies. To ensure that state government continues to become ever more efficient and effective in the delivery of services to its citizens, it must continue to focus efforts on programs that are achieving desired, demonstrable results. The state must continually review its programs, policies and procedures, redirecting resources to those mandated and desired program areas that promise substantial return or which have demonstrated successes. State government must partner with local communities and focus on common areas of concern with a result orientation. The state will benefit from a network of improving communities. \n \n20 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nThe F.Y. 1999 Budget Report for the State of Georgia is one of three publications that deal with Governor Zell Miller's budget recommendations to the 1998 Geneml Assembly to establish state spending for two different fiscal years-the upcoming F.Y. 1999 Budget Report and the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget Report. \nThe Budget Report reveals the Governor's detailed budget recommendations for F.Y. 1999, which begins July 1, 1998 and ends June 30, 1999. It also includes detailed infonnation about past, current and projected revenue collections; past expenditures and budgets; program policies, and state organizational structures. This document is released in connection with the Governor's Budget Message to the Georgia Geneml Assembly during the first week of its annual session. \nAn Amended Budget Report, released during the week prior to the session, details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the fiscal year underway when the Geneml Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. The Amended Budget Report presented to the 1998 Geneml Assembly recommends amendments to the state's budget for the fiscal year that ends on June 30, 1998. \nThe Budget in Brief each year is published after the legislative session ends and covers all new or amended expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the next fiscal year (often called the outyear) and for the fiscal year then in effect. \nCHANGES IN F.Y. 1999 \nThe F.Y. 1999 Budget Report is organized essentially in the same fonnat as the previous edition, but there are three changes in content that are noteworthy. The changes are: \n Second-phase implementation of the ResultsBased Budgeting (REB) program. \n An expansion of the state's Capital Improvement Program to 5 years from 4 years to be more consistent with the State Strategic Plan and most Agency Strategic Plans. \n A reorganization in the way capital outlay recommendations and requests are displayed in the Capital Outlay section. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \nResults-Based Budgeting is a new initiative that divides all state government activities into programs. The future of all programs, in tenns of their continuing existence and funding level, will be determined by how well they measure up to the perfonnance measurements that \n \nwill be recommended in the future by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly. \nRBB is presented in 2 parts-Program Summaries and Program Fund Allocations. \nThe first phase of Program Summaries in the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report provided infonnation on each program by name, putpose and goals. The second phase, which is implemented in this document, identifies desired results expected from each program during F.Y. 1999. The second phase also refmes and identifies programs more in line with the state's original expectations. The F.Y. 2000 Budget Report will include phase 3, which will involve for the first time the identification of benchmaIks against which desired results will be measured. New desired results for F.Y. 2000 also will be in next year's document. It is possible that some actual results will be in the F.Y. 2000 document. The F.Y. 2001 document will for the first time measure actual results for all RBB programs against previously published desired results. \nThe Program Fund Allocations section provides the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations for each program and the F.Y. 1998 actual appropriations. Total and state funds are shown separately. The recommendations and prior appropriations are both displayed by agency programs, attached agency programs and pass-through funding. This display provides a fuller accounting of an agency's mix of funds than has historically been provided in the state's budget documents. \nREDIRECTION \nA new dimension was added to the State of Georgia's budget process beginning with F.Y. 1997-Redirection. The concept will be entering its third year in F.Y. 1999, and it has been one of the main instruments in making possible increases in education funding while the state sales tax on groceries is being eliminated during a period when revenue growth has been moderating and citizens are demanding improved services. \nAn understanding of Redirection and its impact on the budget is especially important in understanding the philosophy that is governing Governor Miller's approach to the budget during the last years of his Administration. While the impact of redirection is spread throughout the entire budget, it especially impacts 2 sections in each department-the Financial Summary and Budget Summary pages. \nThrough Redirection, Governor Miller requires all agencies to reexamine how they do business. He wants them to study their expenditures carefully and eliminate or \n \n21 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \ndownsize those activities that are no longer needed or have a low priority as compared to other higher priority services. \nI To achieve this goal, Governor Miller ordered all department heads to present F.Y. 1999 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least 5 percent of an agency's F.Y. 1998 adjusted base budget, with the reallocated funds to be used for 3 purposes: \n Fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources. \n Fund growth in formula and entitlement-related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas. \n Increase fund availability for priority areas within state government as a whole. \nThe F.Y. 1999 Redirection level could not exceed 100 percent of the F.Y. 1998 adjusted base budget. \nThe adjusted base budget was determined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the F.Y. 1998 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 1998 salary adjustments. \nOnce the adjusted base budget was determined, agency heads were allowed to request enhancement funds for new or expanded services requested above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests, however, were limited to 4.5 percent of the adjusted base. \nGenerally speaking, enhancement funds represent a funding level that in recent years has been known as improvement fund requests. The major difference is that there is now a cap on enhancement funds whereas there was no cap on funds requested for improvements. Also, much of the funding that was once requested as improvement funds must now be requested in redirected dollars, not the add-on dollars represented by enhancement allocations. There is no limit on the amount of capital funds that can be requested. \nTHE KY. 1999 BUDGET REPORT \n \nORGANIZATION CHART \nEach agency's section starts with an Organization Chart that displays the divisions comprising each department. The description of services performed by each division has been removed from the chart and merged with the Roles and Responsibilities page. \nThe numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October 1, 1997 for each division. The total number of positions budgeted for each department is listed underneath each department's title at the top of the page. \nHIGHLIGHTS \nThe Highlights page for each department provides a summary of new or expanded appropriations that are being recommended for that department by the Governor. The page may be omitted for any agency that does not have sufficient enhancements to justify a separate page for such highlights. \nFINANCIAL SUMMARY \nThe Financial Summary for each department provides up to 12 different levels of budget information by object class, including expenditures for 2 prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations. \nThe ftrst page of each sununary includes the following information concerning expenditures, current budget and agency requests: \n F.Y. 1996 and F.Y. 1997 actual expenditures  F.Y. 1998 current operating budget  F.Y. 1999 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals \nThe second page of each summary includes the following information concerning the F.Y. 1999Governor's recommendations: \n Adjusted Base  Funds to Redirect  Additions  Redirection totals  Enhancement totals \n \nDepartments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this F.Y. 1999 Budget Report, with each section providing a different level of information about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section. \n \nEach Financial Summary includes the total funds recommended or appropriated to each department, including state general funds, federal funds, funds collected and retained by departments, and any other funds available to them. The totals for each category of fund sources are shown at the bottom of the tables. Total State Funds, displayed in bold type, represents state general funds either recommended or appropriated to the departments. \n \n22 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nThe number ofpositions and motor vehicles are the last items displayed under each table. \nBTJDGETSUMMARY \nThe Budget Summary explains the Governor's Recommendations, as displayed by object class on the second page of the Financial Summary section, from the perspective of new budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new, expanded or redirected programs and setVices that are to be funded. Each column of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary. \n ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The ftrst line lists the existing state appropriations for F.Y. 1998, adjusted to include budget transfers between appropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for F.Y. 1999 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary increases and reductions for non-recurring expenditures. These adjustments to the 1998 appropriation total provides the Adjusted Base. This is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations. \n REDIRECTION FUNDS. The section on Funds to Redirect is an explanation of the numbers displayed on column 2 of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary. The Additions section explains column 3, while the Total Redirection Level number represents column 4. \n ENHANCEMENT FUNDS. Column 5 is explained in this section, separated by Enhancement Funds and Capital Outlay. The Total State Funds number matches with column 6. \nFUNCTIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY \nFunctional budgets by total and state funds are displayed in this section for the current year's appropriations and for the outyear's recommendations by the Governor. \nROLES AND RESPONSmILITIES \nThis page describes what departments are responsible for doing by law, policy or mandate. It also describes how departments are organized to carry out their missions. \nSince the Organization Charts for each department no longer carries information about the responSIbilities of each division within the department, the Roles and \n \nResponsibilities page for F.Y. 1999 combines the contents of both pages in prior publications. \nSTRATEGIES AND SERVICES \nThis section discusses the major budget and policy changes taking place in each department. The discussion focuses on major initiatives that are in the ftnal stages of implementation, those that are currently being implemented and possibly expanded, and new initiatives that are being proposed for the future. Charts and graphics are used extensively to dramatize these major initiatives. \nCAPITAL OUTLAY \nThe state's Capital Improvement Program is being expanded from 4 to 5 years to be more consistent with the timeframe of the State Strategic Plan and most agency Strategic Plans. In addition to listing each agency's capital outlay requests and the Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 1999, the Capital Improvement Program displays capital outlay needs for ftscal years 2000 through 2003, as identifted by the agencies. \nAdding an additional year to the Capital Improvement Program recognizes that most major capital projects require significant planning and analysis prior to a formal request for design and construction funds. \nAs a consequence of this change, several significant changes are being made in the organization of capital outlay pages. \nBoth the F.Y. 1999 recommendations and the ftscal years 2000-2003 projections will be reorganized and displayed by groups of projects with a common interest, with each group being subdivided into 5 categories. Projects will be listed in 2 groupings-fIrst, by groups of projects with a common interest; second, with each group being subdivided into 5 categories. \nFirst, projects are grouped by such subjects as institutions, authorities, commissions, centers, or by common relationships, such as Major Markets, Wildlife Resources, Local School Systems or Regional Youth Development Centers. \nSecond, the major groupings are subdivided into the following categories: Property Acquisition, New Construction, Renovations and Improvements, Major Repairs and Equipment. \nThe cost of construction is listed for all projects, by cash or bonds, either as recommended by the Governor for F.Y. 1999 or as estimated by the departments. \n \n23 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nA separate table in the Capital Outlay section displays the total impact of capital outlay on the F.Y. 1999 recommended budget, including new bonded indebtedness, cash capital outlay, the cost of opening new facilities, and the estimated future operating costs of all projects recommended for funding by the Governor. \nAPPENDIX \nSeveral items of general background information are displayed in this section, including state surplus for the prior 2 years, historical information and current statistical data about state bonds, a 3-year record of authorized positions, a glossary of budget-related terms, the \n \nidentification of all acronyms, a statistical overview of the state, and an explanation of the basis of budgeting and accounting in Georgia. \nTHE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \nReaders interested in a detailed explanation of how the budget process works in Georgia are urged to see a separate section on this topic in the Appendices of this document. The section explains the various sources of state revenues and how budgets are approved and administered. The explanation includes how current budgets are amended and how original budgets are passed for the following fiscal year. \n \n24 \n \n Financial Summaries \n \n ESTIMATED FUND AVAILABILITY, BUDGETS AND SURPLUS \n \nSURPLUS: State Funds Surplus Estimated Agencies' Lapse - State Funds Lottery Surplus Estimated Agencies' Lapse - Lottery Total Surplus \nRESERVES: Midyear Adjustment Reserve Motor Fuel \n \nFISCAL YEAR 1998 \n \nFISCAL YEAR 1999 \n \n$524,974,958 49,161,998 69,869,338 17,054,052 \n$661,060,346 \n \n$111,313,935 24,674,865 \n \nREVENUES: \nState Revenue Estimate Additional assessments to be collected by the Insurance \nCommissioner and deposited into the Treasury during the first quarter ofF.Y. 1999. \nRevised Revenue Estimate \nIndigent Care Trust Fund \nF.Y. 1998 Lottery Proceeds (Revised from $510,000,000) \nF.Y. 1999 Lottery Proceeds \nAppropriated Surplus \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE \n \n$11,118,000,000 $625,000 \n$11,118,625,000 148,828,880 515,000,000 \n4,000,000 $12,583,503,026 \n \n$11,849,000,000 775,000 \n$11,849,775,000 148,828,880 \n530,000,000 \n$12,528,603,880 \n \n26 \n \n GEORGIA REVENUES: F.Y. 1995-F.Y. 1997 AND ESTIMATED F.Y. 1998-F.Y. 1999 \n \nI.

This reserve serves as a savings account or \"rainy day\" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The Reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account up to three percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation. \n \nThe status of the reserve for the last 13 fiscal years follows: \n \nFY 1997 FY 1996 FY 1995 FY 1994 FY 1993 FY 1992 FY 1991 FY 1990 FY 1989 FY 1988 FY 1987 FY 1986 FY 1985 \n \n$ 333,941,806 313,385,534 288,769,754 267,195,474 \n* 122,640,698 \n-0-0-0194,030,593 176,727,306 162,639,563 150,621,753 138,234,402 \n \n* Partially filled \n \n34 \n \n LOTTERY RESERVES \nGeorgia'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. \nThe Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10 percent of the total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. Ifnet funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage. \nFunds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $54,323,390 on June 30, 1997. \nThe lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account. \nThe scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over fIve years at a rate of 10 percent a year until the reserve equals 50 percent of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year. \nLottery surplus available at the end ofF.Y. 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended F.Y. 1996 budget and still leave enough funds over to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its fITst year. Governor Miller wrote the State Auditor a letter requesting that the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount be fully funded from the 1995 surplus, and the Auditor complied with the Governor's request. The Subaccount's balance on June 30, 1997 totaled $77,718,586, as compared to the statutory requirement of $25,224,063. \n \nThe two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1997 total as follows: \n \nShortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount \n \n$ 54,323,390 77,718,586 \n \nTOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES \n \n$ 132,041,976 \n \n35 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \nState law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.GA) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education; and costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $530,000,000 for F.Y. 1999. The Governor recommends $530,000,000 for the following programs. \nVOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLDS \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends fimding of$217,828,959 in F.Y. 1999 to serve 61,000 four-year-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 26,210 four-year-olds, and all other private providers serving 34,790 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,232.97 in base earnings per student. \nWith a State-Certified Teacher: \nZone 1*$91.68 Zone 2*$83.00 \nWith a Non-Certified Teacher: \nZone 1*$82.67 Zone 2*$73.99 \nThe reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for F.Y. 1999 for the 36-week program represent a 3 percent increase over the F. Y. 1998 rates and are as follows: \n* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market \nrates for child care sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division ofFarnily and Children's Services in accordance with federal regulations. The zones are as follows: Zone 1 -- Metro Atlanta and Zone 2 - All Other. \nThe total fimding includes $22,315,757 for at-risk services including extended day services for at-risk four-year-olds to allow their parents to participate in work or training and family service coordinators for families of at-risk four-year-olds. In addition, there is $800,000 to fund start-up costs for the expansion from 59,000 students in F.Y. 1998 to 61,000 in F.Y. 1999. There is also $2.8 million for training of new teachers and $3,338,806 for administration of the program. \n \nHELPING OUTSTANDING PUPILS EDUCATIONALLY (HOPE) AND OTHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F. Y. 1999 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in the 1993-1994 school year and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE grant at any Georgia public college or eligible private institution in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE grants in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 19971998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, are eligible for HOPE grants in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE grants at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive grants for their senior year. HOPE grant awards for eligible students attending public colleges will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grant awards for freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. All seniors who are otherwise eligible for tuition equalization grants will be entitled to receive a second-tier tuition equalization grant of $1,500. This second-tier HOPE Tuition Equalization Grant will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants. HOPE grants will be paid to the colleges. \nAll students working toward a diploma at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in the 1992-1993 school year, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant. Beginning in the 1997-8 school year, students working toward a degree at \n \n36 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \npublic technical institutes in the state who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants for their sophomore year. Each grant will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE wants will be paid to the technical institutes. Beginning July I, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \nIn F. Y. 1999, home schoolers are for the first time being made eligible for the HOPE program. There is no current consensus about how to fairly equate the grade average of a home schooler with that of a student going through several years with several different teachers and achieving a cumulative \"B\" average. For F. Y. 1999, home schoolers will be eligible for HOPE and will be reimbursed for tuition, books and fees for the 45 hours achieved. \n \ngrade point average of3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, child care, transportation or other expenses related to education. The cost of this program in F. Y. 1999 will be $1,125,000. \nThe Postsecondary Options Program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 20-2-161 O.C.GA The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options Program. The cost of this program in F. Y. 1999 is $1,800,000. \nThe total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $221,147,965. \n \nThe HOPE program will be administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in F. Y. 1999 is projected to be $212,957,121. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for F. Y. 1999 is $800,844. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in F. Y. I999 is $215,000. \nThe HOPE Teacher Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in F. Y. 1999 will be $3,500,000. \n \nCAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR EDUCATION \nFor F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends $91,023,076 in capital expenditures for the following projects: for the State Board of Education, $9,006,730 for the installation of a coordinated fund accounting, financial analysis, and student information system,; for the Board of Regents, $7,466,000 to continue funding for the Chancellor's Initiatives funded in F.

A few of the areas in which \n \nthe department furnishes agencies \n \nservices or support are described \n \nbelow. The items featured are the: \n \nFamily and Children Electronic \n \nTracking System (FACETS), \n \nimplementation of the state \n \npurchasing \n \ncard \n \nprogram, \n \nprivatization of state fuel card \n \nmanagement program, development \n \nof the alternative fuels program, and \n \nthe department's production services \n \nunit which offers audio, video and \n \nconference support services to \n \ninterested agencies. \n \nFAMILY AND CHILDREN \n \nELECTRONIC TRACKING \n \nSYSTEM (FACETS) \n \nThe department's Information \n \nTechnology Division is developing \n \nand implementing a new computer \n \nsystem to better enable the \n \nDepartment of Human Resources' \n \nDivision of Family and Children \n \nServices (DFCS) to oversee and \n \nmanage the services provided to \n \nchildren and families in the state. The \n \nFamily and Children Electronic \n \nTracking System (FACETS) will \n \nfacilitate collection of information \n \nessential for tracking, monitoring, \n \nreporting and management of cases \n \nhandled by the following DFCS units: \n \nChild Protective Services, Adult \n \nProtective Services, Foster Care \n \nPlacement Services and Adoption \n \nPlacement Services. \n \nWhen \n \ncompleted, this system will be \n \ncertified as a Statewide Automated \n \nChild Welfare Information System by \n \nthe federal Department of Health and \n \nHuman Services. FACETS is \n \ndesigned to interface with various \n \nstate and federal databases and \n \nagencies to ensure effective and \n \nefficient administration of services \n \nand payments to clients. \n \nFACETS will be the primary tool \n \nused to track and process information \n \nand activities for reporting incidents, \n \nassessing cases, recording decisions \n \nand changes in case funding source purchases being made, assure the \n \neligibility, and managing cases.

Conversely, in the case of a \n \nIMPLEMENTATION OF THE \n \nnon-card purchase, payment through \n \nSTATE PURCHASING CARD \n \nthe agency would take several days to \n \nPROGRAM \n \nseveral weeks due to the extra \n \nThe department, in its ongoing paperwork and processing time \n \neffort to make the purchasing process associated with non-card purchases. \n \nfor state agencies more flexible, \n \nThe department's goal is to \n \nresponsive and less expensive, is now eventually convince all agencies and \n \nallowing state agencies to use institutions to enroll in the purchasing \n \npurchasing cards for purchases of card program, and have the amount of \n \n$2,500 or less. \n \nUsing the purchasing \n \ncard eliminates the excessive time and \n \nPurchasing Transactions Under $2,500 \n \npaperwork formerly \n \nnecessary to process \n \norders for small \n \nvalue \n \nitems, \n \nallowing items to be \n \nobtained \n \nmore \n \npromptly with a \n \nsignificantly reduced \n \nadministrative cost. The department has \n \n685,561 \n \ncontracted with \n \nNationsBank Visa to \n \noperate the program. \n \nNationsBank pays \n \nfor the card \n \npurchases made and \n \nsends participating \n \nagencies a monthly \n \ninvoice with a record \n \nof card transactions and card usage so these agencies can \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nmonitor \n \nthe \n \n62 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Strategies and Services \n \nnon-card purchases of items costing $2,500 or less drop 75%. The department also hopes to expand the scope of card purchases beyond the current supplies, materials and equipment allowed. The expanded scope would include small value services and utilities as well as statewide, agency and mandatory source contract purchases. \nPRIVATIZATION OF THE STATE FUEL CARD \nMANAGEMENT PROGRAM \nFaced with addressing the limitations of the current state fuel purchasing card program (Peach Card) and the need to improve and consolidate reporting of state vehicle fuel purchases and use, the department, supported by the recommendation of the Governor's Commission on Privatization is in the process of privatizing the state fuel card management program. Privatization has been determined to be the most cost-effective way of replacing the present outmoded Peach Card program with an expanded fuel purchasing card program which is capable of comprehensive, detailed reporting of fuel purchases and consumption. The new fuel card will be a commercial credit card accepted statewide, linked to an electronic system which monitors and controls card purchases and use. Agencies will be provided information for analyzing vehicle fuel usage. \nThe main advantages of a privatized, statewide fuel program are: \n Capture of point-of-sale data, and electronic monitoring of fuel and service purchases for a specific vehicle or operator. \n Access to an account manager for new card issuance, cancellation and monitoring. \n Exemption of fuel tax at all fuel card network locations to the extent legally permitted. \n Provide performance data for a specific vehicle or class of vehicles.Limit purchases to authorized users and products, and \n \nprovide data to agencies to monitor for abuse. \n Ability to set restrictions for each card as necessary (e.g. maximum number of gallons allowed per transaction) based on the specific needs of an agency, or to have default restrictions or parameters by vehicle class or agency. \nThe department plans to have the contractor selected and the program operational by Spring 1998. Once implemented, the state under this program will have access to a more extensive network of fuel sites statewide for its entire fleet of vehicles, and greater capability to control fuel and vehicle operating costs. \nDEVELOPMENT OF THE ALTERNATIVE FUELS PROGRAM \nIn response to federal laws enacted in recent years relating to clean air standards and the use of alternative fuels, the department has developed an alternative fuels program to educate agencies on the clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchases these laws require, and organize agency efforts in this area. Under the present federal mandates, the percentage of eligible state vehicle purchases consisting of clean/ alternative fuel vehicles must increase each model year until 200 I when 75% of eligible vehicles purchased are to be clean/alternative fuel vehicles. The program works with the 18 agency Clean/Alternative Fuels Task Force to coordinate the collection, analysis and reporting of clean/alternative fuel state vehicle purchase information, and assist agencies in determining how to satisfy the federal clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements. The program is responsible for filing periodic reports with the federal Department of Energy documenting the state's progress in meeting the federal clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements. Because a clean/alternative fuel vehicle usually cost $4,000 to $4,500 more than a \n \nconventional vehicle, state agencies with limited vehicle purchase budgets may have difficulty in procuring the necessary number of clean/alternative fuel vehicles. Recognizing this situation, the Governor in a step to assure state agencies comply with the federal clean/alternative fuel statutes, is recommending $232,500 in initial funding for F.Y. 1999 to assist qualified agencies in making the required clean/alternative fuel vehicle purchases.

The department's efforts in these areas are also desjgned to protect farmers and consumers purchasing and selling agricultural products. The department's programs \nare operated jointly with the u.s. Department of \nAgriculture. \nPLANT INDUSTRY DIVISION The role of this division is to administer and enforce \nfederal and state laws relating to fertilizers, feeds, grains, seeds, pesticides and pest control, nursery and plant certification, honeybees, treated timber, boll weevil eradication, and other related programs for environmental protection. The division promotes Georgia's agricultural and horticultural interests, and inspects and tests sufficient quantities of each commodity to be sure that those commodities reaching the consumer meet minimum standards and are correctly labeled. \nANIMAL INDUSTRY DIVISION The Animal Industry Division is responsible for \neradicating brucellosis, tuberculosis, pseudorabies, etc., in livestock. Additional responsibilities include: promoting certification and accreditation of cattle herds, qualification and validation of swine herds, and maintaining strict surveillance programs to prevent reinfection through total testing at livestock markets; assisting livestock producers through disease surveillance programs and laboratory diagnostic work; and gathering and reporting information on the poultry markets of Georgia. The division enforces the Dead Animal Act, Poultry Carcass Regulations, Garbage Feed Law, Prompt Pay of Auctioned Livestock Bill and both inter-state and intra-state livestock movement. Additionally, the division procures fertilizer, feed and lime samples for laboratory testing, and enforces the provisions of the Georgia Meat Inspection Act of 1969. \nMARKETING DIVISION The Marketing Division operates 6 regional markets \n(Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and \n \nThomasville) and 17 seasonaVlocal market places. This division collects and distributes market information on Georgia agricultural products, administers various marketing programs and locates and develops new international markets for Georgia products. They also provide supervision for the 8 Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions. \nFUEL AND MEASURES This function ensures equity between buyers and \nsellers in commercial transactions by inspecting weighing and measuring devices to verify that the prescribed level of of accuracy for these devices is maintained. To insure compliance with applicable laws, the division enforces advertising laws regarding motor fuel and conduct examination/inspections of state warehouse and grain dealer. The division also inspects and tests commercial weighing devices, including scales, L.P. gas meters, milk tanks, moisture meters, gasoline pumps, transport tank trucks, fuel oil terminals and bulk plants. \nCONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION The primary function of this division is to inspect retail \nfood establishments (i.e., grocery stores) for contamination and adulteration of retail food products. To ensure that all requirements are being maintained according to minimum federal and state standards, the division operates a dairy inspection program on farm and processing plants operating in Georgia, and provides information and statistics about milk and the dairy program to the industry and consumers. \nSEED TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION \nThis division produces, processes, treats, stores and distributes to seed producers and farmers foundation agricultural seed stocks of 18 or more different crops comprising 60 to 65 different varieties and hybrids. \nAUTHORITY Title 5, 42-208, Georgia Code Annotated. \n \n83 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Agriculture hosts a variety of programs and services in its regulation of agriculture and agriculture related industries, as well as in its education and protection of the public on agriculture and associated areas (Le., retail food stores, petroleum products, meat and poultry inspections, etc.). The following strategies and services illustrate activities occurring in the Food and Milk Safety, Pesticide and Pesticide Container Disposal, Agriculture Product Promotion, Fuel and Measures, Structural Pest Control, and the Animal Protection programs. \n \nFOOD AND MILK SAFETY \n \nThe Food and Milk Safety \n \nProgram consists of the following \n \ntypes of inspections: retail food store, \n \nmeat and milk. The rising number of \n \nnon-traditional \n \nretail \n \nsales \n \nestablishments expanding into the \n \nretail food sector has prompted the \n \ndepartment to begin implementing a \n \nnew electronic inspection system to \n \ncope with the added workload and \n \nother demands these developments in \n \nthe retail food industry have placed \n \non the department's inspectors. \n \nAdditionally, the department's retail \n \nfood inspectors are also continuing to \n \nreceive advanced level training in all \n \nareas of food processing, including \n \nin-store meat processing, seafood \n \nhandling, deli operations and bakery \n \noperations in order to remain abreast \n \nof developments in the retail food \n \nfield. \n \nMeat inspectors currently inspect \n \nand license 158 red meat slaughter \n \nand processing facilities for the \n \npurpose of assuring the production of \n \nwholesome, unadulterated and \n \nproperly labeled meat/poultry \n \nproducts. The Meat Inspection \n \nprogram's responsibilities were \n \nexpanded with the commencement of \n \nthe voluntary inspection program \n \nconcerning ratite (i.e. ostrich, emu, \n \nrhea) slaughter and processing. This \n \nnew program allows red meat \n \nslaughter/processing plants to be \n \napproved to slaughter/process ratite meat for sale to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history. The long range goal of the meat inspection program is to provide inspections that are comparable to those conducted at federally inspected establishments in degree and scope, and to effectively cross-utilize resources in performing these inspections whenever possible. \n \nand organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 273,000 pounds of chipped plastic in F.Y. 1998 through these efforts compared to the 245,250 pounds recycled in F.Y. 1997. The division is also sponsoring a program, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to collect pesticides which can no longer be legally used. In this program, targeted illegal pesticides are collected and disposed of by authorized disposal firms to prevent illegal disposal of and environmental contamination from these outlawed pesticides. Pesticide collections were made in a total of 8 \n \nFood Establishment Inspections FY 1993 - FY 1997 \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nMilk safety inspectors inspect dairy facilities for compliance with health and safety regulations concerning milk and dairy products. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected the Georgia Milk Safety Program as one of its state pilots in the development and testing of a new electronic inspection system to be eventually used nationwide. \nPESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL \nThe Pesticide Division is coordinating a program in conjunction with local governments \n \ncounties for both 1995 (Dooly, Houston and Peach) and 1996 (Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook and Lowndes). Collections will be made in another 5 counties (Crisp, Lee, Macon, Schley and Sumter) in 1997. \n \nAGRICULTURE PRODUCT \n \nPROMOTION \n \nThe department is continuing its \n \nactivities to promote Georgia \n \nagricultural products in campaigns \n \ndirected at the domestic and \n \ninternational markets. \n \nThese \n \ncampaigns use the theme \n \n\"Georgia...Always In Good Taste\" in \n \npublicizing and displaying Georgia \n \n84 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -- Strategies and Services \n \nproducts at food and trade shows nationally and internationally. The department is also pursuing btoadening the use of the \"Georgia...Always In Good Taste\" logo in concert with its product promotion efforts. The department is working with large retailers in identifying and marketing Georgia grown and processed items. \n \nFUEL AND MEASURES \n \nThe Fuel and Measures Division \n \nis responsible for regulating the \n \naccuracy of all commercial weighing \n \nand measuring devices, and the \n \nquality of petroleum products. The \n \ndivision has upgraded 3 of its 4 trucks \n \nused in inspecting and testing heavy \n \nweigh scales to comply with the latest \n \nrevised federal Department of \n \nCommerce standards for large weigh \n \nscale testing. \n \nThe division's \n \npetroleum fuel and antifreeze \n \ninspection and testing outfits now \n \ninspect nearly 8,600 service stations and test approximately 17,000 petroleum fuel and antifreeze samples annually. \nSTRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL The Structural Pest Control \nProgram regulates firms, certified operators and employees involved in supplying household pest control services for controlling ants, roaches and other insects, along with wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood destroying beetles and wood destroying fungi. Program staff also conduct inspections of dwellings and products treated for these pests. These inspections verify that the dwellings and products have been properly treated for the pest(s) in question. \nANIMAL PROTECTION The department enforces the \nAnimal Protection Act which requires \n \npet industry operators (i.e. pet dealerslbrokers, breeders, animal shelters, kennel operators, etc.) to satisfy a variety of standards before being issued an operating license. The Act's purposes are to prevent unhealthy pets from being sold to the public, and to protect animals from abuse or neglect while they are awaiting sale. Inspectors also enforce federal laws regarding the use of controlled drugs for euthanasia at animal shelters, and monitor federal certificates of veterinary inspection and rabies inoculation records.

In addition, the department fulfills its statutory obligation to the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act by reviewing the waste reduction strategies adopted by regional/local government coalitions. \nINFORMATION The department has primary responsibility to serve as a \nclearinghouse for information and initial point of contact within state government for information, data, resources and assistance regarding activity related to local governments. Staff time and efforts are devoted to ongoing development and enhancement to the Georgia database and network. The database contains: 10 years of local \n \nfinance data; population, economic and other demographic data; census data; historical data; and state agency data. Additionally, the database is incorporated into the states' Geographic Information System (GIS) planning efforts. Based on information collected from various sources, the department prepares numerous surveys, reports, documents, publications and studies. \nPARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ADMINISTRATION OF GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS \nThe department administers the state and federal funds entrusted to the state for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grants and Revolving Loan Funds in the 35 Appalachian Regional Commission counties. The department also functions as a manager and contract monitor for passthrough grants. Such grants/contracts administered by DCA include state contracts for Regional Planning and Development, Local Assistance Grants, Local Development Fund, Regional Economic and Business Assistance Grants and Local Government Efficiency Grants. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority \nmakes low cost loans available to local governments for water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste facilities and coordinates the remediation and removal of state owned underground storage tanks. \nThe Georgia Housing Finance Authority assists low and moderate income Georgians in obtaining affordable housing. \nThe State Housing Trust Fund is the mechanism for channeling state funds to support project initiatives in Homeless Assistance programs; Low Income Rental Housing programs; and Special Need Housing programs. \nThe Georgia Music Hall of Fame Authority has responsibility to operate, maintain and promote a facility housing the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. \nThe Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Authority has responsibility to construct, operate, maintain and promote a facility to house the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. \nThe State Commission on National \u0026 Community Service has responsibility for developing and implementing community service programs in Georgia. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 12, 36, 48 and 50 of the Official Code of \nGeorgia Annotated. \n \n105 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS \nStrategies and Services \n \nSince its creation, the Department of Community Affairs' miSSIOn has been to improve the quality of life of all Georgians through local planning and community development programs, by building local leadership capabilities; and by maintaining a positive relationship with the multitude of local governments in Georgia. Since the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority has been merged with DCA, the department's mission has expanded to include increasing the availability of affordable housing. \nThe department also serves as the Governor's representative to local communities and local government associations in matters dealing with local and regional community development issues. \nCommunity development and technical assistance is provided to local governments primarily through four divisions: Business and Financial Assistance, Planning, Information and Management, Housing Finance and Rental Assistance. \n \nREGIONAL AND RURAL \n \nDEVELOPMENT \n \nBecause of the many community \n \nproblems that transcend city and \n \ncounty boundaries, many of them \n \nrequiring financial assistance, \n \nGovernor Miller recommended a \n \ntargeted regional assistance grant \n \nprogram in F.Y. 1998 aimed at better \n \nsolutions and economies of scale for \n \nregional or multi-county problems. \n \nThe first grant applications were \n \nreceived in December and 36 \n \ndifferent applications were submitted \n \ninvolving over 100 local \n \ngovernments. \n \nIn F.Y 1999, the Governor will \n \nstrengthen the state's efforts in \n \ncommunity \n \nand \n \neconomic \n \ndevelopment by providing more state \n \nresources for regional and rural \n \ndevelopment. In cooperation with the \n \nGeorgia Department of Industry, \n \nTrade and Tourism (ITT), the \n \nGovernor is recommending state \n \nfunded regional rural development teams consisting of 2 DCA and 2 ITT positions in each of 11 planning regions outside of Atlanta. For DCA, the Governor is recommending 22 positions and operating expenses to deploy state resource specialists in the 11 planning regions. These state resource specialists will work with Industry, Trade and Tourism to support the state's economic development efforts by identifying state resources, facilitating regional or multi-governmental projects, and providing technical assistance and training to local governments in community leadership development. There will also be two positions in DCA's Atlanta office to coordinate and support the 22 positions. The Governor is recommending $2,005,903 in DCA's budget for this new regional collaborative effort. \nThe development teams will be advised by a Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region. DCA and ITT will each appoint the same number of advisors to the councils. State agencies who change their planning or service delivery boundaries to coincide with the boundaries of the new state development regions will be accommodated on the councils. A number of agencies and nongovernment organizations have already indicated they will change their boundaries to conform to the state development region boundaries. \nIn addition, the Governor is recommending $1,000,000 to encourage counties and RDCs to realign their boundaries to coincide with the new state development boundaries. The $1,000,000 incentive package will consist of three parts. First, RDCs that agree to consolidate offices to align with the state boundaries will be able to apply to DCA for costs directly associated with consolidation and merger. DCA will assist with the legal, property and system integration costs of the consolidations. Second, counties that \n \nchange RDCs will be able to obtain funds to realign their plans with their new RDCs and as an incentive for changing to the new state planning boundaries. Finally, RDCs will also be given an incentive for realigning with the state boundaries to help them incorporate new counties into their regional plans and to redirect their service delivery system to accommodate the new counties. \nThe Department assists with regional planning and development through contracts with RDCs and other eligible regional organizations to address regional planning and development issues especially growth strategies issues. For F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends $1,959,945 to continue these contracts. \n \nFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE \n \nThe department provides \n \neconomic development assistance to \n \nlocal \n \ngovernments \n \nthrough \n \nadministration of a number of grant \n \nprograms. The federally funded \n \nCommunity Development Block \n \nGrants (CDBG) support several \n \nprograms that assist Georgia's \n \ncommunities with economic \n \ndevelopment. \n \nThe Employment Incentive \n \nProgram (EIP) funds projects that \n \nresult in new or retained jobs for low \n \nand moderate income persons. Also \n \nthrough the EIP, Georgia \n \ncommunities have established \n \nRevolving Loan Fund (RLF) \n \nprograms. RLFs provide loans to \n \nlocal start-up and expansion \n \nbusinesses which provide a variety of \n \nservices to help local communities \n \nimprove their quality of life and that \n \nprovide important employment \n \nopportunities, particularly for low and \n \nmoderate income people. \n \nRegular competitive grants, the \n \nmajority of CDBG projects, fund \n \npublic \n \nfacilities, \n \neconomic \n \ndevelopment and housing projects \n \nwhich primarily benefit low and \n \nmoderate income persons. The state funded Regio~al \n \nEconomic Business Assistance Grant \n \n106 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services \n \n(REBA) Program provides flexible \n \nand timely financial assistance to job \n \ncreating development projects. For \n \nF.'y. 1999, the Governor has \n \nrecommended $5,225,000. \n \nThe department's guidelines \n \nfqr grant awards for direct economic \n \ndevelopment assistance stipulate that \n \nprojects will be considered based \n \nupon: jobs created (or retained); total \n \nprivate capital investment; impact on \n \nthe state, regional and community tax \n \nbase; degree of local commitment; \n \nconsistency with local and regional \n \ndevelopment goals and objectives; \n \nproject impact; reasonableness of cost \n \nestimates; and assessment of \n \ncriticality of state assistance to \n \nretention and recruitment of \n \ncompanies. The department seeks the \n \nadvice of other state agencies such as \n \nthe Department of Industry, Trade \n \nand Tourism in making the final \n \nassessment. \n \nIncluded in these grants is \n \n$50,000 to make the model for the \n \nrequired economic impact assessment \n \nmore user-friendly and to train \n \ncommunity \n \nand \n \neconomic \n \ndevelopment personnel throughout \n \nthe state in the use of this model. \n \nFinally, $150,000 of REBA is to be \n \nused for Facilitech - Georgia's unique \n \nincentive for design and engineering \n \nservices to new and expanding \n \ncompanies. Facilitech has assisted \n \nmany companies in dealing with plant \n \nequipment positioning problems. \n \nHOUSING ASSISTANCE The Housing and Finance \nDivision of the Department of Community Affairs administers programs aimed at increasing the number of first time homeowners in Georgia. The state and federally funded HOME programs offer qualified first time homebuyers low interest loans and down payment assistance. \nIn addition, this program offers multifamily housing assistance to encourage developers to increase the number of low-income residential rental developments they build or rehabilitate. Developers can obtain public and private financing from a \n \nnumber of sources including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and Georgia Housing Trust Fund monies. \nThe Department also administers the federally funded Stewart B. Mckinney Homeless Assistance Act programs and the state funded Georgia Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless programs. These state and federal programs aid homeless shelters and agencies with assisting the state's homeless with adequate housing. In F.Y. 1997, 350 projects received almost $4 million from these programs. \nRENTAL ASSISTANCE Another housing assistance area \nis the Housing and Urban Development, Section 8 program. The Department administers this program in 149 of 159 counties, providing low income families with quality affordable rental housing. \nThe program is administered through regional offices in Albany, Athens, Carrollton, Eastman, and Waycross. Rent subsidies are provided to landlords who agree to maintain their rental properties at the required Housing Quality Standards and to rent to qualified low-income families. \nThe Family Self Sufficiency program is an effort to reduce participants dependency on Section 8 and other public support. Public and private sector resources provide education, counseling, job placement assistance, job training and other supportive services to help participants become self sufficient. \nGEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY \nThe Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority provides low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. In F.Y. 1998, it is projected that GEFA will award $32 million in state-funded water and sewer loans for a total in excess of $258 million in loans since F.Y. 1992. The Governor is again \n107 \n \nrecommending $20 million in G.O. bonds to enhance the loan program. In addition, the authority administers the disbursement of federal energy program funds and federal drinking water funds. \nThe F.Y. 1999 recommendation includes the last of three $5 million installments in G.O. bonds for the assessment and remediation of stateowned fuel storage tanks needed to meet federal requirements. The program will be re-assessed at the end of F.Y. 1299 to determine if the removal of the remaining tanks is necessary to prevent long term pollution problems. \nGEORGIA MUSIC AND SPORTS HALLS OF FAME \nBoth the Music and Sports Halls of Fame in Macon aim to preserve Georgia's contributions to music and sports history, respectively, by maintaining and operating official state museums. The music museum opened in October 1996 and provides quality exhibits and educational programs for children and adults. Museum educational programs enhance the quality of primary and secondary education through planned school tours, after-school activities, and Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) distance learning programs to schools statewide. Since opening, the music museum has done well in attracting visitors and generating revenues. A monthly comparison of attendance in October 1996 versus October 1997, shows attendance increased by more than 104% and revenues (e.g., admissions, memberships, gift shop sales, rental fees, etc.) increased by 27%. This is due in large part to the Authority's state supported aggressive marketing strategy to promote the music museum as a recognized tourist destination. \nFor the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, the Governor is recommending $248,000 to match private donations to complete the children's interactive exhibit and $150,000 for state-of-the-art equipment for the museum library. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS -- Strategies and Services \n \nThe children's exhibit will have various interactive themes such as a musical instrument workshop, small recording studio, distance learning studio - via GSAMS, a Georgia legacy component, music printers workshop, and other themes design to enhance the educational aspects of music. The museum library provides scholars, music aficionados and others a history of music via collections, interviews, and photography. The Governor is also recommending $737,260 in operating support for F.Y. 1999 for the first full year of operation for the Music Hall of Fame. \n \nThe Sports Hall of Fame Museum is tentatively scheduled to open in December 1998. For the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, the Governor is recommending $640,000 to provide one-time funding outlays needed to aggressively promote the Sports Hall of Fame in advance of its December 1998 opening ($150,000) and for equipment and gift shop build-out ($490,000). An additional $100,000 is recommended in the Amended Budget for critical positions needed now (especially a curator). The Governor is also recommending $696,399 in F.Y. 1999 for first year \n \nstate operating support for the Sports Hall of Fame. \nThe Governor has directed the Sports Hall of Fame and the Music Hall of Fame to examine closely all areas where the two Halls of Fame can combine functions. Accounting, budgeting, security and maintenance require no special skills or knowledge in the areas of music and sports. Other areas may also be appropriate for consolidation when examined. The Boards of both halls of fame must work closely to maximize efficiency and save state dollars. \n \nGeorgia Environmental Facilities Authority Loan Dollar Distribution by Recipient Population Groups \nFiscal Years 1992 --1997 \n \n10,000 -- 5,000 15% \n \n\u003c 5,000 21% \n \n25,000--10,000 \n22% \nI \n \nI \n \n\u003e 50,000 \n \nj \n \n25% , \n \n50,000 -- 25,000 17% \n \nI I ~I \n \n-------------~------------------------ \n \n108 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nLOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANNING \n \nPURPOSE: Partner with local governments and regional planning organizations to implement a comprehensive planning process that will improve the quality of life and manage the future growth of Georgia's communities. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nEncourage local governments to develop and update comprehensive plans that reflect citizen needs and help guide local decision making. \n \n95% of Georgia's local governments will maintain their Qualified Local Government (QLG) status by updating their Comprehensive Plans. \n \n95% of local government applications for DCA grants/loans will be consistent with and help implement local government comprehensive plans. \n \n20% of the 700 local governments throughout the state will implement local regulations that are consistent with their comprehensive plans.

More than 36,300 of these offenders are serving prison sentences. More than 135,000 offenders are on probation, 3,800 whom are in residential programs. \nThe mission of the GDC is to protect the public and staff by managing offenders either in a safe and secure environment or through effective community supervision according to their needs and risks. In collaboration with the community and other agencies, GDC provides programs that offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law-abiding citizens. \nGDC has adopted 6 management directions to guide operations: \n Increase efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability.  Ensure that prison is an undesirable experience.  Have well-run, secure facilities.  Supervise and monitor compliance with probation conditions. \n Offenders will work.  Have effective programs and training. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured, secure \nenvironment which removes from the community those offenders who pose a high risk. GDC provides legally mandated sei\"vices in the areas of physical and mental health, counseling, education, vocational training, chaplain services and recreation. \nGDC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms; in food preparation, laundry, and construction; in facility and landscape maintenance; and doing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. \nThe types of GDC institutions include: \n State Prisons (40). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than I year of incarceration to serve. \n 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. \n Inmate Boot Camps, Probation Boot Camps, Probation Detention Centers (I 7). These 3 programs offer a short-term, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol. \n Transitional Centers (5). These community-based centers are designed to allow offenders \n \nnearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the community. GDC requires offenders to have jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center and support their families. \n Probation Diversion Centers (16). Judges may sentence offenders to diversion centers as an alternative to prison. Like transitional center residents, offenders in the diversion centers work and pay room and board, restitution, fines, and family support. \nProbation 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. \nThe mission of the Probation Division is to serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. \nProbationers are required to be employed and to pay restitution, fees, fmes, and court costs. Many probationers are also required to perform community service, unpaid labor for the local community. Probationers are supervised with increasing levels of intensity in accordance with the risk they pose to the community. Requirements at these varied supervision levels may include adherence to a curfew, wearing an electronic device to monitor movements, drug testing, and home and job visits by the probation officer. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is composed of \nfive 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. \nThe Georgia Correctional Industries Administration is a public corporation, wholly owned by the state. GCIA utilizes inmate labor to manufacture products and provide services to government agencies. This work also allows the inmates to receive training in these areas. \nAUTHORITY Titles 9, 42 and 77 of the Official Code of GeoTl~ia \nAnnotated. \n \n128 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nStrategies and Services \n \nAdults committed to the Dwartment of Corrections (DOC) have more than doubled over the past 10 years. Georgia's incarcerated adult population for F.Y. 1997 to F.Y. 2QOO is projected to grow at an average rate of 4% annually. Current crime data for Georgia shows that violent crime such as rape, robbery, and aggravated assault make up 25% of the total arrests in the state. The data reflects a 2% drop in the number of violent crimes when compared to prior years. However, the data also shows an increase in property crimes such as burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft and drug related crimes. \nBED-SPACE MANAGEMENT Usually, commitments to prison \npeak in March and then diminish until the next session of court in the fall. However, commitments to prison have risen sharply since mid-January 1997 and remained high throughout the year and at the same time, releases remained stable. Currently the prison system is operating at capacity. \nSpecialized populations and the growing number of close security prisoners make even greater demands on the needed bed-space. \nThe Department of Corrections continues efforts to steward its bedspace and funding resources. Initiatives include: \n Maintaining the occupancy rate of 99% in state prisons. \n Continuing to double-bunk offenders where facilities and staffmg allow. \n Reviewing, and identifying areas to establish additional bed-space with no need for additional staff at selected institutions. \n By the end of F.Y. 1999 opening a total of 3,228 prison beds authorized by the Governor to meet the growing commitments to the correctional system. Bed expansions at state prisons to be opened in F.Y. 1999 are Smith (I 92-beds), Washington (I 92-beds), Augusta Medical (384-beds), Macon (384- \n \nbeds), Coastal (384-beds) and Wilcox (1 92-beds). Contract prison beds to open are Charlton (500-beds), Coffee (500 beds) and Wheeler (500 beds). \nThe Department of Corrections will have available 41,008 prison beds by the end of F.Y. 1999 to serve the growing inmate population. \n \nto 1,855 and by October 1997, the jail backlog was at 1,790. \nThe Board of Pardons and Paroles uses county jails to house parolees who have violated parole. County jails are also used to house probationers who have violated probation.

The department pays a jail subsidy rate of $20 per day for inmates that have been sentenced to a state prison and are awaiting pickup in excess of 15 days after the department has received a sentencing package. \nAt the beginning of F.Y. 1997, Georgia's jail backlog for individuals sentenced to state prison stood at 918. By the end of F.Y. 1997, it had risen \n \nrevoked to the Department of Corrections, are under the jurisdiction of the local judiciary and not the department. The judge decides whether the probationer is jailed or not. Code Section 17-10-1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated designates the local county jail as one of the options the judge can use to incarcerate a probation violator. The county is not paid a subsidy for a probation violator. \nAt the beginning of F.Y. 1997, the backlog for parole and probation violators stood at 1,359. By the end of F.Y. 1997, it had \n \n129 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \nCounty Inmate Jail Population \nJuly 1996 Number ofInmates in County Jails - 20,347 \nLocal Jail Capacity - 22,285 \n \nCounty/Other Sentences \n \n5,525 \n \nr---_ \n \nProbationIParole Issues 1,359 \n \nCorrection~J~IBac~og \n918 \nOctober 1997 Number ofInmates in County Jails - 26,480 \nLocal Jail Capacity - 24,572 \n \nCounty/Other Sentences \n \n7,136 \n \nr---_ \n \nProbationIParole Issues 1,078 \nCorrections/Jail Bac~og 1,790 \n \nrisen to 1,565 and by October 1997, the mnnber of parolees and probationers held in county jails was 1,078. \nDuring October 1997 the Department of Community Affairs reported the number of individuals in county jails at 26,480. The number consisted of 16,476 awaiting trial, 7,136 county/other, 1078 probation and parole issues, and 1,790 sentenced to state prisons. \nDuring F.Y. 1999 the department will be opening the authorized bed expansions, which should reduce the \n \nnumber of inmates in county jails sentenced to DOC. \n \nPROBATION SUPERVISION \n \nDuring the past year to \n \neffectively meet the department's \n \nmission of public safety, the \n \nprobation \n \ndivision \n \nbegan \n \nimplementation of a Risk-Based \n \nSupervision Model to supervise \n \nprobationers. Using a new offender \n \nclassification system and this \n \nsupervision model helps insure that \n \nthose offenders presenting the \n \ngreatest risk to Georgia's citizens will \n \n130 \n \nreceive the greatest share of the supervision resources. \nThe implementation of the RiskBased Supervision Model comes in response to a changing probation population. In 1985 the make-up of the population was 47% felons and 53% misdemeanants, by 1990 felons made up 63% of the population with the remaining 37% misdemeanan'ts. The June 1997 probation population consisted of 73% felons and 27% misdemeanants. \nThe change in the probation population has required the Probation \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \n \nDivision to prioritize the allocation of its field resources. The new model sets caseload capacity limits for mammum and high levels of supervision. This is the first time limits have been placed on the number of offenders each officer supervises. Restricted caseload size will allow officers to spend more time in the field, making unscheduled visits to offenders' homes and places of business, enforcing strict probation conditions, and holding offenders accountable for their actions. \n \nEDUCATION The Department of Corrections \ncurrently has 7 Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) sites providing 2,187 hours of instruction to inmates. During F.Y. 1998 the department has brought on line 10 additional sites, which are currently running at different levels of utilization. With the 10 sites up and running the department will have a total of 6,062 GSAMS hours available for the inmate population at the 17 sites. \n \nprojecting that 9,025 inmates will enroll in GED classes. \n An increase of 57% in the number of GED tests administered in F.Y. 1998. In F.Y. 1997, 1,900 GED tests were administered to inmates and for F.Y. 1998 the department is projecting that 3,000 GED tests will be administered to the inmates. \nThe Governor is recommending operating cost for the current 17 GSAMS sites and additional funding for 7 new sites. This will give the department statewide coverage for \n \nGeor2ia's Chamrin2 Probation Environment \n \nMisdemeanors 44,709 \n \nJune 1990 - Cases 120,835 \n \nFrequency of probation officer contact with the probationer is emphasized. Minimum contact requirements have been set for each classification level. \nThe model also establishes a Specialized Caseload category composed of offenders who have committed sexual crimes against children or crimes of family violence. The supervision for these offenders includes home searches for illicit sexual materials, registration with local law enforcement, and monitored treatment attendance. Specially trained officers supervise these case10ads. The goal is to protect victims and to help prevent any additional crimes against new victims. \nTo afford greater public safety the Governor has recommended 80 additional probation officer positions to support this new supervision method \n \nFelonies 76,126 \nJune 1997 - Cases 137,491 \nMisdemeanors 36,582 - . . \n \n\u003cIf--.. Felonies \n98,909 \n \nThe Department of Corrections, by changing over to part-time teachers, conducting class at night and using the GSAMS is projecting the following: \n An increase of 75% the number of inmates enrolling in General Education Development Diploma Program (GED) classes in F.Y. 1998. In F.Y. 1997, 5,170 inmates enrolled in GED classes and for F.Y. 1998 the department is \n \nacademic instructions. The 7 additional sites will add 2,625 available hours in F.Y. 1999 (sites would be operational January 1999) for a total of 8,687 available hours statewide for prison inmates. \nELECTRONIC MONITORING Electronic monitoring enables the \nBoard of Pardons and Paroles to implement an intrusive sanction that allows for surveillance of parolees up \n \n131 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \n \nto 24 hours per day. This program can represent the Parole Board's fInal sanction short of revocation. The program is targeted for 3 groups of parolees: those who present a high risk to the community; those who have a high level of needs; and/or parolees that continuously and willfully violate the conditions of parole. Electronic monitoring brings added structure and stability to the lives of many parolees. This added structure can provide the catalyst for positive change and ensure compliance with the conditions of parole, thereby encouraging lawabiding behavior. \nDuring F.Y. 1999, the number of electronic monitoring units is projected at 1,500 units. These units will continue to be utilized to expand the types of parolees placed under electronic monitoring. The electronic monitoring program will be used in conjunction with the Specialized Parole Supervision program (SPS) to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risklhigh need parolees. \nThe board's plan for electronic monitoring has expanded to include front-end application by paroling inmates directly to electronic monitoring. There are currently in excess of 1,000 prison inmates serving their fIrst prison sentence for non-violent crimes. Paroling these offenders directly to electronic monitoring will free hard prison beds while providing a structured, intensive surveillance parole scenario. Electronic monitoring provides transition from the highly structured prison environment to the community in a gradual, less dramatic and hopefully less problematic way. The net to the state through these applications are savings in prison bed and building costs without sacrificing community safety. \n \nAUTOMATION \n \nOFFENDER \n \nRECORDS \n \nMANAGEMENT SYSTEM -- The \n \nParole Board will have migrated from \n \npaper documents to electronically \n \nstored documents (or images) for all \n \nnew cases entering the Department of \n \nCorrections by the end of F.Y. 1998. \n \nOne of the challenges in F.Y. 1999 is \n \nto expand this document management \n \nsystem so that existing inmate files \n \nare converted to electronic form. \n \nOnce current cases are converted \n \nto the document management system, \n \nthe field staff will add information to \n \nthis electronic fIle at the time \n \ninvestigations are being completed. \n \nThe case material will be built from \n \nits earliest stages in this new format - \n \nsoon after a convicted person is \n \nincarcerated into the Department of \n \nCorrections' system. The data that \n \noriginates at the parole sites will be \n \navailable for the fIrst time. It will be \n \nfully integrated into 1 system from \n \nwhich many people can draw data for \n \nanalysis. \n \nThe Offender Records \n \nManagement System and the Case \n \nManagement will allow the board to \n \nbe more flexible in changing its focus \n \nas needs change. It is this flow of \n \ndata that will better equip managers at \n \nall levels to supervise the ever \n \nincreasing population of parolees. \n \nThe board will also be able to report \n \nto other entities of the state, such as \n \nOffice of Planning and Budget and \n \nothers, with much more analytical \n \ninformation. \n \nCASE \n \nMANAGEMENT \n \nSYSTEM -- For too long, the Parole \n \nBoard has had to rely on data gleaned \n \nfrom reports that have been produced \n \nmanually and then tallied by hand. \n \nThis has resulted in insufficient \n \nreporting of caseload management \n \nprocesses, as well as those newer \n \nboard initiatives such as electronic \n \nmonitoring, drug testing, counselor \n \nreferrals and cognitive restructuring. \n \nThe case management system being \n \ndeployed in F.Y. 1998, and \n \ncontinuing in F.Y. 1999, will provide \n \neach parole officer with a laptop \n \ncomputer that is connected to the \n \ndocument management system. \n \nThe case management system \n \nwill allow the board to quickly evolve \n \nfrom a document/text driven system \n \nto a data/information driven \n \nenvironment which connects, directly, \n \n132 \n \nthe field personnel with the central office's clemency process. \nSPECIALIZATION CLASSIFICATION/CASE \nMANAGEMENT --On May 1,1997, the Board of Pardons and Paroles implemented a new model for parolee supervision and case management. The new model of parolee supervision is called results driven supervision. In this model, officer interaction is designed to focus on the outcome of supervision, producing a compliant, law abiding parolee. Parolees continue to be classified into 1 of 3 levels of supervision based on a formal, instrument-based assessment of the risk they present in the community. The higher their risk, the higher the level of supervision. Supervision activities are a combination of surveillance, monitoring and intervention activities customized to each parolee to ensure their compliance with the conditions of parole and the safety of the community. \nCertain groupings of parolees require more intensive supervision due to the heightened risk they present or to the special needs or problems they exhibit. Continuing expansion of the board's Specialized Parole Supervision program (SPS) is underway. By integrating the SPS program with the board's very successful electronic monitoring program (EM) these offenders can be successfully managed on parole supervision. Parolee groupings targeted for the SPSIEM program include boot camp parolees, sex offenders, violent offenders and parolees with drug and alcohol problems. These high risklhigh need parolees will be supervised on reduced caseloads and generally be placed on electronic monitoring to ensure that they receive intensive services to remain safely in the community. \nSpecialization will be carried further through the creation of program specialists. Parole officers functioning as program specialists will service our district offices by \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \n \ndelivering cognitive skills training \n \nprograms to parolees, parolee \n \norientation programs, developing \n \nvolunteer progranuning through \n \ncollaboration with conummity based \n \norganizations, collaborating with \n \nlocal DHR facilities under contract \n \nwith the board to provide substance \n \nabuse services for parolees, and/or \n \nmanaging a SPSIEM caseload. These \n \nprogrammatic initiatives, as well as \n \nclassification!case \n \nmanagement \n \nandspecialization, continue to form \n \nthe core of the board's comprehensive \n \nstrategy for reducing parole \n \nrecidivism and enhancing the effectiveness of supervision, while preserving community safety. \n \nSUBSTANCE \n \nABUSE \n \nCOUNSELING PROGRAM -- In \n \n1995, the board decided to redirect \n \nthe funding for the Substance Abuse \n \nCounseling Program. An arrange- \n \nment was made with the Department \n \nof Human Resources Division of \n \nMental Health, Mental Retardation, \n \nand Substance Abuse to contract for \n \nthe board, for local treatment services. \n \nTreatment professionals in the local \n \npublic health systems provide substance abuse assessment and treatment services for offenders under parole supervision beginning September 1, 1996. \nThe program continues to be administered by the Substance Abuse Counseling Director and 2 contract coordinators. The assistant substance abuse counseling director monitors the contracted residential substance abuse programs at Homerville State Prison and Whitworth Detention Center. \n \n1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 \n800 600 400 200 \n0 92 \n \nBoard of Pardons and Paroles Electronic Monitoring Program \nI \n \nI \n \n93 \n \n94 \n \n95 \n \n96 \n \n97 \n \n98 \n \n99 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n!:::::f;':f;i:i:!Number of EM Units \n \n-+-Daily Cost per EM Unit \n \n133 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nBUDGET UNIT A: DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS I PROBATION \n \nPURPOSE: To serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nServe the Georgia courts as a primary correctional option. \n \nNinety percent ofjudicial circuits will receive a rating of satisfactory or higher from judges on an annual Circuit Operations Performance Survey. \n \nHIGHEST RISK OFFENDER MANAGEMENT (Subprogram) \n \nPURPOSE: To enhance public safety by providing increased crime control measures in the supervision and enforcement of court ordered conditions on the highest risk offenders who are serving probation sentences in the community. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nPromote public safety by providing the proper level of control and supervision for those offenders identified as highest risk. \n \nDecrease by 5% the number of confirmed incidents of drug and alcohol use by highest risk offenders. \n \nEnforce court ordered conditions and initiate intervention strategies to reduce offender risk. \n \nIncrease by 5% the number of highest risk offenders successfully completing their sentences. \n \nIncrease by 3% the number of employable highest risk offenders who are employed. \n \nDecrease by 2% the number of highest risk offenders in absconded or escaped status. \n \nSTANDARD SUPERVISION AND BASIC COMPLIANCE (Subprogram) \n \nPURPOSE: To ensure that probationers classified as lowest risk complete conditions of probation as quickly and cost efficiently as possible. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nProbationers classified, as \"standard supervision\" will comply with the conditions of probation imposed by the court. \n \nIncrease by 5% the number of offenders classified as \"standard supervision\" who complete probation successfully. \n \nReduce by 2% the cost per day of supervising probationers classified as standard supervision. \n \n134 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nVICTIMS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES (Subprogram) \n \nPURPOSE: To provide restorative assistance to victims and communities harmed by criminal behavior, hold offenders accountable for their behavior, and assist communities in crime reduction efforts. \n \nGOALS \n, \nProvide restorative assistance to victims and the community harmed by criminal behavior, hold offenders accountable for their behavior. \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \nIncrease the average number of community service hours completed each month per probationer from 9 to 12 hours. \nIncrease by 2% the amount of restitution collected for crime victims and communities affected. \n \nContinue to support crime control efforts of local law enforcement, other agencies, and the community through resource and information sharing. \n \nIncrease by 5% the number of hours provided annually in assistance to local law enforcement. \n \nINMATE AND DETAINEE MANAGEMENT \n \nPURPOSE: To operate well-run, safe, secure and clean institutions by stressing prisoner work, discipline, accountability and responsibility in a highly structured and disciplined environment. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nProvide a safe, secure, and orderly environment for staff and prisoners. \nProvide structured physical activities to comply with legal requirements and good prisoner practices. \n \nDecrease by 15% the number of prisoner-on-prisoner assaults.

The department achieves these objectives through its 4 components: Office of the Adjutant General, Air National Guard, the Army National Guard and the State Defense Force. Using these components, the department operates and manages approximately 1,200 training, maintenance, and logistics army facilities statewide. \nGEORGIA AIR NATIONAL GUARD The role of the Georgia Air National Guard is to \nprovide fully equipped, fully trained combat units which are prepared to respond to state or national emergencies. The activation/deactivation, organization, administration, training, equipping and housing of its units as well as the evaluation of its wartime capability are mandated responsibilities. \n \nGEORGIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD The Georgia Army National Guard is responsible for \nmaintaining a level of operational readiness, which allows for immediate and effective response to state or national emergencies, civil disturbances, and natural disasters. \nOFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL The role of the Office of the Adjutant General is to \nprovide command and control of the entire organization as well as centralized administrative support for the department. The Adjutant General also serves as the state's director of the Selective Service System. \nSTATE DEFENSE FORCE The role of the State Defense Force is to serve as a \ncaretaker administration in the event of a full mobilization. \nAUTHORITY Title 38, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n148 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nStrategies and Services \n \nFACILITIES OPERATIONS AND lVlAINTENANCE \nThe Facilities Operations and Maintenance program is the largest program within the agency. This program provides the foundation, which supports the infrastructure of the Georgia National Guard. The Georgia Department of Defense currently manages approximately 1,200 buildings and facilities throughout the state, the majority of which are licensed for use by the state. Most of these facilities are 100% federally funded for operations and maintenance, and a significant number require 25% matching state funds. The industrial type facilities and the heavy equipment repair shops fall into this category. The balance of the facilities comprises of 69 National Guard armories and a number of office buildings at headquarters. These facilities are 100% state supported as required by law. Governor Miller has recommended $300,000 in F.Y. 1999 to match federal funds of $2.6 million for major repair and renovation projects for the department. These projects include 6 roof replacements for armories located at Lavonia, Douglas, Dublin, Douglasville, Newnan and Lagrange, and other repair work. \nIn addition to the portion of the program that receives federal and state appropriations, the armories are rented as community centers, used for meetings and conferences, voting precincts, and a host of other activities. These funds historically have been reinvested into the facilities, which have generated the revenues. \nTo maximize the use of state funding, some accomplishments have been made. The department has reduced facility-operating costs through consolidation at the Army National Guard Headquarters, closed 10 armories, and renegotiated utility rates. \nMILITARY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS \n \nThe Military Relations program \n \nprovides assistance to approximately \n \n13,000 Georgia National Guardsmen, \n \nactive and retired, as well as their \n \nfamilies, \n \nduring \n \nmilitary \n \nmobilizations. The program also \n \nprovides information and assistance \n \nto retirees in order to secure for them \n \nall of the benefits and entitlements for \n \nwhich they legally qualify. Casualty \n \nassistance is also provided to the \n \nfamilies of deceased guard members. \n \nYOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM \nThis program provides high school aged at-risk youth an opportunity to receive a high school General Equivalency Development Diploma (GED). Of the initial enrollment in the programs' first 7 classes, 84% have graduated and 96% have received aGED. \nIn addition to academics, life skills, such as money management, balancing a checkbook, establishing and maintaining fmancial credit among others, the program goal is to provide these youth with social and life skills necessary to lead productive lives and to divert them from selfdestructive behaviors. The program is conducted at Ft. Stewart in a military boot camp environment. Military personnel serve as platoon leaders and mentors for the students. The curriculum includes vigorous physical regimen, and job and vocational training. Each session runs for 22 weeks during which time certain needs (food, clothing, housing, medical, psychological counseling, etc.) are met. \nThe program prepares students for, and aids them in securing, gainful employment. Guidance counseling is provided for students seeking secondary education and careers in the military. Contact by mentors is maintained with the students for 3 years after completion of the course. \nThe average cost per student enrolled in the Youth Challenge Program is $9,167. Governor Miller has recommended $700,000 in state \n \nfunds, an increase in F.Y. 1999 of $600,000 to provide for operating expenses in support of this important program. Federal matching funds of $2.6 million have been appropriated in F.Y. 1998. These federal funds are expected to increase in F.Y. 1999. \nSTATE DEFENSE FORCE The Georgia State Defense Force \nprovides for an organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response volunteer force and civilian relief organization in impending or actual emergencies to assure the welfare and safety of the citizens. \nThis program provides welltrained and equipped volunteer individuals and leaders to perform duties as they may be called upon. These activities include search and rescues, which augment the ability of other agencies to perform their missions. State funds provide for minimal support. \nCOUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS The Georgia National Guard \nprovides ground reconnaissance and observation support to requesting drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) by providing personnel and equipment necessary to perform operations for the purpose of drug interdiction and eradication. Upon request by state agencies, the guard also provides personnel to research and document information necessary to establish probable cause. Georgia National Guard personnel are also assigned to perform tasks which include but are not limited to operational planning, transportation for elements of DLEAs, assisting in information gathering, provide security and crowd control, marking and cataloging evidence found at the scene, and assisting in the dismantling of crime scenes. \n \n149 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nNATIONAL GUARD MILITARY READINESS \n \nPURPOSE: Provide a trained military organization to seIVe, protect, and defend the citizens of Georgia and the nation when called upon by the Governor or the President. \n \nGOALS \nProvide the state and nation with trained military personnel in adequate numbers, and in a timely manner to respond when called upon by the Governor or the President \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \nAchieve and maintain 100% of military positions filled with 80% trained in Military Occupational Specialty/Armed Forces Service Courses. \n \nOne hundred percent response time will be achieved within 24 hours of alert notice from state and national command posts. \n \nFACILITIES SUPPORT \n \nPURPOSE: Provide and maintain modern, community based facilities that support and enhance the training and readiness of the guard to perform its state and federal missions when called upon to protect the citizens of the state and nation. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nMaintain accessible, modern and safe readiness centers, armories, and support facilities. \n \nIncrease the number offacilities that meet ADA standards by 22%. \n \nIncrease the number of armory roofs that will be replaced per year based on DOD's stationing plan and degree of need by 5%. \n \nReplace or renovate facilities as they reach 30 years of age. \n \nThree percent of all facilities will be replaced or renovated per year in accordance with established facility life cycle criteria and the agency stationing plan. \n \nRemediate current environmental issues and ensure compliance with existing environmental requirements. \n \nEliminate notices on any environmental issues resulting in fines greater than $5,000. \n \nComplete within 6 months the cleanup of all environmental remediation projects.

The Governor recommends $3,332,151 to provide access for all Georgia schools. \n \nby F.Y. 2000 or school systems will be unable to run their payrolls or perform other necessary activities. The Student Information System [SIS] is a technology package that will allow Georgia school systems to transmit the mandated student record to the state in electronic form. Transmission of the record becomes mandatory in June 1998. School systems can also use SIS to collect and transmit FTE funding \n \nability to see what they are getting for their tax dollars in terms of student achievement at the school and the classroom level. \nTECHNOLOGY FOR INSTRUCTION \nOne of the Governor's prime commitments has been the placement of cutting edge technology into \n \nTECHNOLOGY TRAINING INITIATIVES \nGeorgia's initiative to implement technology in the classrooms has placed new pressures on teachers to become adept at using these tools to improve student achievement. To aid the integration of technology into Georgia's classrooms and to introduce teachers to the many educational uses \n \ndata to the state. In$ite is fmancial \n \nanalysis software from Coopers \u0026 \n \nLybrand that provides the state, school \n \nsystems, and taxpayers concise, easy- \n \nto-understand information on education \n \n120.0 \n \nLottery-Funded Technology \u0026 Equipment \nF.Y. 1994 - 1999 (proposed) \n \nexpenditures down to the school and \n \nclassroom level. In$ite prepares timely \n \n100.0 \n \nand clear management reports for both \n \ninternal and external use. \n \n80.0 \n \nThe advantage of implementing all three parts ofthis accountability system simultaneously is that all hardware and software will be compatible and will be able to \"talk\" to each other. For \n \n'c\" \n'~s 60.0 \n40.0 \n \nexample, SIS will interface with the \n \nfund accounting system in order to \n \n20.0 \n \nupload classroom teacher assignments \n \nto the payroll system.

It is paramount that our teachers have the necessary knowledge in the use and application of computers and advanced electronic technology. When teachers begin to feel more corfident in their ability to use technology to improve instruction, they will inevitably pass this energy on to the students. \nGovernor Miller is continuing his commitment to provide technology resources for the classroom by recommending $22 per FTE, for a total of $28,287,000, be appropriated for this purpose from F.Y. 1999 lottery funds. \nOTHER TRAINING INITIATIVES \nGeorgia's Technology Training Centers are an asset to teachers and administrators who want to master and expand technology skills. Georgia currently has 11 Centers in operation, most in a cooperative arrangement between the Department of Education and University System institutions or Regional Educational Service Areas (RESA). To further expand the geographic accessibility of these resources, Governor Miller recommends establishing 2 new Technology Centers, 1 each in Savannah and Carrollton. \nGOVERNOR'S READING INITIATIVE Nationally normed reading scores for 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades in Georgia have not been increasing for the past 4 years. In fact, the scores decreased slightly in 5th and 8th grade reading between 1994 and 1997. To improve Georgia's student performance in reading-the basic academic skill that is prerequisite to all other skills-Governor Miller proposes 2 new reading initiatives. \nThe Department of Education has been piloting a reading program in 8 Georgia elementary schools that are showing excellent preliminary results. It includes reading materials that are rich in content and skill development, \n \ntraining that is direct and purposeful, a definite and structured period of time spent on reading, and an evaluation component. To allow other schools to benefit from such an emphasis on successful reading, Governor Miller recommends $9,000,000 to spread the initiative to approximately half of the state's elementary schools. \nResearch indicates that the after school hours are a volatile time for many of Georgia's school children. Most juvenile crime and teen pregnancies occur during this time. Too many of our children are \"latchkey-kids,\" they come home from school to an empty house and spend several hours unsupervised. That is just too much of an opportunity to learn negative behaviors that will influence them into adolescence and adulthood. \nGeorgia is confronting this problem in several ways, but one of the most promising is after school programs for students. In F.Y. 1998, grants totaling $1.3 million in state funds are supporting 26 after school programs around the state. Such programs are an opportunity for communities to pool their resources to provide students with a wide variety of supervised activities and experiences during this crucial time. \nGovernor Miller is recommending $10,000,000 to significantly expand the availability of these programs and to significantly improve them by adding a strong reading component. The reading component will be useful to those children who have not attained the necessary reading skills to be on grade level. However, improving the skill and enjoyment of reading is important to all students, and all students in after school programs will be involved in this reading initiative. \nIMPROVING FORMULA FUNDING \nGeorgia is one of the fastest growing states in the U.S., and significant resources have to be expended each year merely to provide funding for the new students who enroll. \n171 \n \nFor F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends $117,950,777 to fund enrollment increases of an estimated 24,303 students over the original count in F.Y. 1998. \nOver time, some elements of the QBE funding formula have not been modified to reflect increased costs. For F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller recommends adding available funds to the areas of the formula that most affect student learning and teacher quality by adding $36,203,496 to direct operations, media materials, Professional Development, and Maintenance and Operations. In addition, $4,623,647 is recommended to adjust the funding basis for elementary counselors to one for every 450 students. \nOTHER K-12 IMPROVEMENTS The Georgia Department of \nEducation is completing a massive effort to update the state's Quality Core Curriculum that has involved thousands of teachers and parents. All major academic subjects have been updated to reflect a more rigorous attention to academic achievement and mastery of basic skills. Standards of achievement are being raised in Georgia. \nTo measure how well Georgia students will meet these new standards, Governor Miller recommends $2,632,500 to strengthen several facets ofthe testing program. Ofthis amount, $1,664,500 is recommended to pay the cost of Advanced Placement and Preliminary SAT exams for students. The balance is to continue development of Criterion Referenced Competency Tests and to allow some test data to be accessible electronically to schools. \nTeachers have been a major focus of Governor Miller's commitment to improving educational quality. They remain so in the F.Y. 1999 budget. The Governor recommends $3,700,000 additional dollars to fund increased participation in the Pay for Performance program. The need for these additional funds, which doubles the size of the budget for this program proves that Georgia teachers will give \n \n the extra time and attention necessary to increase student achievement. To further reward teachers who successfullypass the rigorous exercises involved in obtaining National Board Certification, the Governor recommends a salary enhancement of 15%, the largest such enhancement offered by any state for attaining this prestigious level of competency. Georgia needs more teachers who are National Board certified. \nAttendance at professional conferences are an important an effective way for administrators to keep up with developments in their professions and to experience professional rejuvenation. Teachers do not have enough ofthese opportunities. Governor Miller recommends \n \n$137,000 to provide 2 teacher conferences per year - to be held after normal school hours - for up to 1,000Teachers. \nGEORGIA VOLUNTARY PRE- \nKINDERGARTEN PROGRAM \nGeorgia is proud to have the largest and most comprehensive prekindergarten program serving four- year olds and their families of any state in the country. The program successfully combines services from public and private providers of early childhood education in order to provide high quality pre-kindergartenexperience for every Georgia family that wants it. \nGeorgia is already experiencing the benefits of the Pre-Kindergarten Program through the higher skills and \n \nlower retention rates that \"graduates\" have been demonstrating when they reach kindergarten and first grade. There is every reason to hope that this pattern of early success in school will stay with these youngsters and keep them on track to eventually completing school successfully. \nThe Governor is maintaining his commitment to the Pre-Kindergarten Program through his recommendation of $210,611,379 in lottery funding to serve 61,000 four-year-olds and their families in F.Y. 1999. This represents an increase of 2,000 students over the 59,000 four-year-olds served in F.Y. 1998. \n \n70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 \no \n \nFY93 \n \nPre-K Students Served \nF.Y. 1993 - 1999 (proposed) \n \nFY94 \n \nFY95 \n \nFY96 \n \nFY97 \n \nFY98 \n \nFY99 \n \n172 \n \n STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nINSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY \n \nPURPOSE: Provide state-of-the-art technologies for use in Georgia's K-12 public school classroom instruction to enable Georgia's teachers and students to acquire skills needed to effectively compete in today's technological society. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nProvide pre-service teachers training opportunities to become proficient in both technical and pedagogical skills in the use of instructional technology. \n \nCourse evaluations will indicate that 75% of pre-service teachers receiving training report competency in the skill learned. \n \nProvide current hardware/software and operating system technologies in the regional Educational Technology Training Centers to enable Georgia's educators to acquire skills needed to effectively integrate technology into their instructional programs. \n \nFifty percent of teachers report that the equipment stimulated them to design instructional strategies that take advantage of new tools. \n \nPre-service and in-service educators will be able to experience hands-on training with the most current technology tools. \n \nNinety percent of teachers report satisfaction with the equipment provided for training. \n \nCommunicate core technology competencies for all educators in three identified levels to build a workforce of professional educators who use technology in innovative ways to improve learning and teaching. \n \nTwenty five percent ofteachers trained will complete programs designed to build competency and will demonstrate competency in the first level of a three-level program. \nTwenty five percent of teachers trained will complete programs designed to build competency and will demonstrate competency in the second level of a three level program. \n \nTen percent ofteachers trained will complete programs designed to build competency and will demonstrate competency in the third level of a three level program. \n \nFifty percent of schools will have representative personnel who complete a 20 hour course in staff development and report competency in incorporating the use of the Internet and GALILEO in instruction.

These appointments are for 4-year terms. \nSTATE EMPLOYEES' ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT The Board of Directors consists of the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, the Commissioner of Labor, the State Auditor, the Commissioner of Personnel Administration and 2 members appointed by the Governor. The State Employees' Assurance Department contracts with the Employees' Retirement System to provide group term life insurance for members of the Employees' Retirement System. \n \nEMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM BOARD OF TRUSTEES \nThe Board of Trustees consists of 7 members as follows: the State Auditor, ex officio; the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, ex officio; the Commissioner of Personnel Administration, ex officio, 1 member appointed by the Governor; 2 members appointed by the first 4 members, (each of the 2 members have at least 5 years of creditable service with an agency included in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia); and a seventh and remaining trustee who must not hold public office, not be a member of the retirement system and have at least 10 years of experience in the investment of moneys. This member is appointed by the first 6 members. Non ex officio members serve 4-year terms. \nPUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \nThe Board of Trustees consists of the 7 Employees' Retirement System trustees plus 2 additional members appointed by the Governor for 4-year terms. \nTRIAL JUDGES AND SOLICITORS RETIREMENT FUND \nThe Board of Trustees consists of the 7 Employees' Retirement System and 3 additional members appointed by the Governor as follows: 1 state court judge; 1 state court \n \nGEORGIA LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTION \nThese 2 plans are placed under the administration of the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. \nSOCIAL SECURITY COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE \nIn 1956, state legislation was enacted that designated the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia as the \"state agency,\" authorized to enter, on behalf of the state, into an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to extend the benefits of the federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system to the employees of the political subdivisions of the state. \nPUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM STANDARDS In 1983, legislation was enacted that defmed funding \nstandards, assured the actuarial soundness of any retirement or pension system supported wholly or partially from public funds, and established legislative control procedures to prevent the passage of retirement legislation without concurrent funding in accordance with defmed funding standards. \nAUTHORITY Title 47, Chapters 2, 4,6,8,9, 10, 12, 13,18,19 \u0026 22. \n \n199 \n \n EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \nStrategies and Services \n \nADMINISTRATION As indicated on the Roles and \nResponsibilities page, staff of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) has administrative responsibility for eleven plans/programs. Included are the group term insurance program for members of the ERS; the Georgia Defmed Contribution Plan for parttime, temporary and seasonal employees; maintenance of agreements with the Federal Secretary of Health and Human Services which enables employees of the state and its political subdivisions to be covered by the Social Security System; and eight separate retirement funds. \nEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Since 1970, ERS has offered a \nPre-Retirement Program in the Atlanta area for prospective retirees of ERS who are within five years of retirement eligibility. In recent years the program was expanded. The programs are now called SERIES I, SERIES II, and SERIES III. With this expansion, ERS now offers educational planning for all members of the system. The seminars provide exploration and discussion of topics such as retirement, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, estate planning and wills. Classes are coordinated by ERS staff with the assistance of outside resources. \nGROUP TERM LIFE INSURANCE \nBy contract with the State Employees' Assurance Department, the ERS provides group term life insurance to members of the ERS. Upon employment, a system member receives insurance coverage equal to 18 times current monthly compensation. For most system members, the amount of insurance coverage is frozen at age 60 and decreases one percent a month until age 65. At age 65, coverage is fixed at 40 percent of the age 60 amount.

For System members hired before July I, 1982, \"old plan members\", employee premiums are one-half of a percent, half of which is contributed by the state on behalf of the employee. \nMEMBERSHIP Total membership in the eight \nplans, including all three categories of active, retired and inactive was 271,112 as of June 30, 1997. An additional 86,262 were members of the Defined Contribution Plan as of June 30, 1997. The ERS estimates \n200 \n \nthat approximately two-thirds of its annual operating budget is required to provide accounting for all active and inactive members, including the processing of refunds and monthly benefit payments due to terminated and retired members (See table.). \nINVESTMENTS The ERS has its own \"in-house\" \nInvestment Services Division, which handles the day-to-day investment transactions with advice from five outside advisors. Five members of the ERS Board of Trustees along with the Executive Secretary comprise the Investment Committee. Investment recommendations made by the Investment Committee require \n \n EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- Strategies and Services \n \napproval by the entire ERS Board of Trustees (See table.). \n1982 AMENDMENT EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM \n. In 1982, the ERS of Georgia Act was amended to assure future actuarial soundness. Members employed on or after July 1, 1982, are referred to as \"new plan members.\" Members joining the ERS prior to July 1, 1982, are referred to as \"old plan members.\" Approximately 70 percent of the ERS members have joined under the new plan provisions. A primary difference between the old plan and new plan provisions is in benefits. The \"benefits formula factor\" in the old plan allows for a range with a minimum of 1.45 percent up to a maximum of 2.2 percent for 35 or more years of creditable service. The \"benefit formula factor\" in the new plan allows for a fixed percent factor of 1.64 percentage regardless of the number of years of creditable service. A minimum of 10 years of creditable service is required under either plan. \n \nERS Investmt!nts \nAS at June 3'0, 1997 \n \nMarket Value: \n \n.. \n \nEmployees' Retirement Systeln \n \nPttblic School Employees' Retireme~t System \n \nTrial Judges wad Solicitors Retireh)~ent Fund \n \nLegislative Retirement System \n \nSuperior Court Judges Retirolnent System \n \nSuperior emirt judges Retirement Fund \n \nDistrict Attorneys' Retirement Systellil: \n \nEmployees' Croup 'fenn Life l~sm~ce Plan \n \nDefmed Contribution Plan \n \nSOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM STATE AGREEMENT \nThe ERS is authorized to enter, on behalf of the state and the political subdivisions of the state, an agreement with the secretary of health and human services that extends benefits of the federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance system to employees of the state and \n \npolitical subdivisions of the state.

At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value of the state's forests. \nForestry contributes $17.4 billion to the state's economy and provides more than 144,000 jobs in Georgia. The Forestry Commission protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forest land, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset. \nThe Forestry Commission has three budget unit divisions: \n Reforestation  Field Services  General Administration and Support The Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offers technical assistance to landowners in urban areas. \nFOREST PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Forest Protection, the primary function of the Forestry \nCommission, includes a statewide network of county and district offices adequately supplied with manpower and equipment necessary for the suppression of Georgia's more than 9,000 annual wildfires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires. This is followed by a powerful initial attack with trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized at the early phases of a forest fire. The average size fire in Georgia is four acres while the average for the southern region is 13 acres and the national average is 42 acres. The success ofthe program is credited to the manpower and equipment, including fire detection aircraft, being maintained in a constant state of readiness in order to respond during the early phases of a forest fire. \nThe Rural Fire Defense program is the most valuable forest protection community outreach program offered by the Forestry Commission. This program has provided 812 fire departments located in 140 counties a total of 1,203 pieces of low cost/lease fire equipment. The Commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local fire departments statewide. \nIn the area of Forest Management, the Commission provides technical assistance and service to private and industrial landowners. Multiple forest resource management is encouraged and promoted through forest stewardship on both public and private lands. Other forest management responsibilities of the Department include forest health monitoring (which includes periodic insect and disease evaluations, surveys and eradication), promotion of forest \n \nquality, education and compliance surveys, promotion and maintenance of RC\u0026D and providing cost-share technical assistance to the forest landowner in establishing sound forestry practices. Additionally, the Department conducts the management of four state-owned and two non-state forests using forest stewardship principles and the training of 77 field foresters. \nREFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide \nhigh quality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the Commission's tree improvement and seedling production program, its intensively managed seed orchards, its low-cost seed cleaning and conditioning plant and its two tree seedling nurseries. \nEDUCATION AND URBAN FORESTRY In order for the State to maintain its leadership role as \none of the top forestry states in the nation, the Forestry Commission believes in providing information about forest resources and their contributions to the economy and the environment to the public and targeted audiences. The role of the Education and Urban Forestry program is to inform the public via all media areas about the importance of forest resources to the State's economy, environment and quality of life for all citizens. The responsibility of the Urban Forestry program is to provide leadership and technical assistance in establishing and maintaining sustainable urban and community forests and provide professional expertise to resolve conflicts between people and forest resources. The program is responsible for the administration of more than $300,000 in federal grants to Georgia communities. \nUIllJZATION, MARKEI1NG AND DEVELOPMENf The Commission provides technical assistance to \nGeorgia's small to medium forest product companies in the area of wood utilization (fiber supply and recycling of wood products) to ensure that these industries remain a strong and stable force in the state and local economy. The commission also provides input about fiber supply to the Georgia Pulp and Paper Initiative. \nATTACHED AGENCY The Herty Foundation supports Georgia's pulp and \npaper industry by providing research and product development opportunities to manufacturers at its facility in Savannah. This support consists of providing laboratory services and several pilot scale production paper machines to allow Georgia's pulp and paper manufacturers to conduct research, develop new or improve existing products. \nAUTHORITY Title 12-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n211 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe protection, regeneration and effective management of Georgia's more than 24 million acres of forestland, with an estimated value of $36 billion, is the primary responsibility of the commission. Through the combined efforts of reforestation, forest protection and management and utilization programs, the Georgia Forestry Commission continues to provide an invaluable service to all the state's forest related industries while saving landowners millions of dollars each year. Georgia continues to plant more trees each year than any other state in the nation and has the best fire control record in the southeast - a ten-year average of 8,935 fires burning an average 3.96 acres (see table on next page). \nWith the implementation of redirection in the budget process, the Forestry Commission took a hard look at how it provided its services in Georgia. As a result of a creative and thorough analysis over the last 3 years, the Commission has significantly changed the way it fights fires without altering the quality of its services. The impact of the redirection packages has been broad. The Commission has significantly reduced the number of fire tower operators in the state and gone to more effective methods of detecting fires. The addition of GPS locating systems has improved its ability to map the exact location of fires. Establishing contracts for service with metro-area counties has reduced costs in areas with mostly urban forests. Finally, for F.Y. 1999 the Commission will consolidate offices and air operations to further improve response time while reducing costs. In F.Y. 1999, the Forestry Commission promises to be more effective and efficient than ever before. \nFIRE PROTECTION Fire control is administered \nthrough a network of county units and 12 district offices. With the F.Y. 1999 redirection, the commission will no longer fight fires solely with the unit in the county of the fire, but will instead \n \nmove to a \"closest available resource\" service-delivery mechanism. This will allow the Forestry Commission to continue its consolidation and devolution of fire protection services with the consolidation of 20 county units into 8 multi-county units with annual savings of at least $657,942 in state funds. \nFire suppression equipment is vital to the Forestry Commission's operations, especially considering that with the F.Y. 1999 redirection the Forestry Commission will have reduced its personnel count by 9.6% over three years. The Commission's equipment consists of 341 tractor-plow bulldozers with accompanying transport trucks and trailers. The current budgeted replacement cycle for these transports is over 44 years. With this in mind, the Governor's F.Y. 1999 recommendation includes an additional $681,087 for motor vehicle purchases to implement a more efficient vehicle replacement cycle so as to ensure fire suppression equipment can be taken to any fire. Fire suppression equipment is used to plow approximately 22,000 miles of landowner requested firebreaks each year and 1,000,000 acres of forest land is prescribe burned annually to reduce the debris likely to fuel larger fires. The installation of presuppression firebreaks is the most popular service offered by the Forestry Commission to landowners in the state. \nFire detection and suppression are supplemented with the use of 18 state owned single engine airplanes that will operate air detection flight patterns in 8 newly designated regions. These new regions are the result of the cancellation of the air detection contract for North Georgia, allowing the Commission to consolidate all state air operations while saving the state money. With the cancellation of this contract, the Commission will hire 1 additional pilot and seasonal help to patrol these 8 regions. Three UH-IH helicopters acquired through the Federal Excess Property Program at no cost to the state are also part of the air detection program. \n \nContinued improvements in response time, suppression capability, and technology are critical to the operation of the fire protection program. This is the third year that the commission has utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to more accurately map the location of fires detected via aircraft. The use of this technology, in coordination with previously mentioned improvements in response time and suppression capability, assists the commission in successfully providing the best fire protection in the southeastern states to Georgia's landowners. \nIn response to the increased number of homes and other structures being built in forested areas throughout Georgia, the Commission conducts the Rural Fire Defense Program. The Rural Fire Defense Program provides low-cost fire-fighting equipment and technical assistance to local communities. To date, more than 1,200 fire trucks have been built and leased to rural fire departments under this program. \nIn 1988, the State Legislature added the outdoor burning permit requirements to the Forest Fire Protection Act. This law requires all citizens wishing to conduct outdoor burning to call their local Forestry Commission office and consult with a Forest Ranger for a permit number. Over 1Y2 million permits have been issued since the permit law began. The permit system is a valuable fire prevention tool. By regulating the days that bum permits are issued, the Commission has prevented smoke problems caused by large forestry bums. The bum permits also provide Rangers with information as to the location and time of outdoor bums, which greatly improves their ability to respond to fires reported by citizens. The Governor's F.Y. 1999, recommendation includes $87,000 for dedicated FAX lines in county units to provide better response to landowners seeking bum permits and to transmit weather information necessary to the permit process. \n \n212 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nREFORESTATION The Commission's Seed Orchard \nProgram provides a reliable source of tre'e seed and the opportunity to exploit the genetic potential of our forest trees. The seed orchards currently being established are projected to increase growth by 30 percent. This 30 percent increase will result in an average per acre value of $3,195 at the 35-year rotation. \nThrough the Flint River and Walker nurseries, the commission offers approximately 50 million tree seedlings for sale to Georgia landowners in an effort to encourage reforestation. These seedlings reforest approximately 71,000 acres each year, helping to reduce the gap between acres harvested and regenerated, while at the same time providing wildlife food and habitat, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing urban or rural aesthetics. \nFOREST MANAGEMENT Programs and services offered to \nprivate landowners in the Forest Management Program include \n \nreforestation, site preparation, forest \n \nmanagement plans, timber marking, \n \nforester referrals, insect and disease \n \ndetection, timber stand improvement, \n \nnatural regeneration, and marketing of \n \nstate forest products. Through forest \n \nstewardship, the Commission \n \nencourages and enables non-industrial \n \nprivate landowners to practice better \n \nstewardship of their woodlands, \n \nincluding timber, wildlife, soil, water, \n \nhistoric, scenic and recreational \n \nresources. Many of the federal \n \ngovernment's forest management \n \nprograms, such as the stewardship \n \nprogram, are available to landowners \n \nthrough the Forestry Commission. \n \nIn addition to the landowner \n \nservices, the State Forestry \n \nCommission manages the Dixon \n \nMemorial, Baldwin, and Alamo State \n \nForests and the Gracewood, Dawson, \n \nand Paulding Forests. Through \n \nmanagement of the state's forests, the \n \nCommission promotes multiple \n \nresource \n \nmanagement \n \nand \n \nenvironmental awareness in the areas \n \nof timber, soil, water, wildlife, \n \nrecreation, and aesthetics. \n \nUTILIZATION, MARKETING, AND DEVELOPMENT \nThe forest utilization efforts of the commission include providing technical assistance to the forestry community of wood manufacturers, contractors, banks, entrepreneurs and other state agencies to ensure an efficient, sustainable, productive forest resource that will provide job creation opportunities for Georgians. These services range from encouraging efficient use of wood in the manufacturing process, providing information on recycling of wood and wood products, collecting and analyzing marketing and resource data, and expanding markets for Georgia's forest products. \nThe commission's compilation of the Forest Inventory Analysis on a five-year cycle has proven to be a success with landowners and forest product industries. The compilation of vital information about forest resources, health and productivity levels is expected to significantly impact forest planning to the benefit of the $17.4 billion industry in the state. \n \n30 \n25 \n20 \nAcres \n15 \n10 \n \nAverage Fire Size for Southeastern States (1986-1996) \n \n29.25 \n \nGa. \n \nN.C. \n \ns.C. \n \nAla. \n \nTenn. \n \nMiss. \n \nKy. \n \nFla. \n \n213 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nFOREST FIRE PROTECTION \n \nPURPOSE: Protect Georgia's 23.4 million acres of forest resources from destructive wildfIres with minimum environmental disturbance. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nTo prevent and suppress all wildfIres in a timely manner. \n \nMaintain the fIve-year average acre size of forest fIres in the state at 3.85 while consolidating and downsizing the fIre protection program. \n \nMaintain the state's position as number one in the Southeast in fIre protection as determined by the fIve-year average fIre size. \n \nDevelop a measure to evaluate the effectiveness of prescribed burning and bum permits as a fIre prevention technique. \n \nAchieve basic structural fIre coverage in all rural areas by assisting local governments in building fIre fIghting capability. \n \nEnsure that at least 75% ofrural communities have structural fIre-fIghting capabilities by providing affordable equipment, planning assistance, and training.

In addition to conducting general and special investigations, the bureau provides forensic laboratory examinations and collects data on crime and criminals. Numerous programs are operational and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting are in place to combat drug trafficking and other crimes. \nThe operations of the GBI include a staff of 741 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, 4 Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and 5 Regional Crime Laboratories through which the various support services are carried out \nGENERAL INVESTIGATION The mission of the General Investigation Section, \nwithin the investigative division is to provide assistance to local law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes committed throughout the state on a daily basis. The office also has original jurisdiction in the investigation of crimes committed on state property; the enforcement laws governing non-tax paid alcohol and tobacco; and the investigation of crimes committed on the basis of race, creed, religion or national origin. The majority of the manpower resources are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the 4 regional drug enforcement offices. The regional field offices conduct general investigations of all crimes and comprise the most significant program in the General Investigation Section of the division's budget. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. There are 7 specialized areas of operations: \n Crime Analysis Unit.  Crime Scene Specialist Program.  Financial Investigations Unit.  Intelligence Unit.  Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces.  Polygraph Unit. A number of services are provided to assist local agencies in solving crimes throughout the state: \n Aid in the detection, apprehension and conviction of criminals, and behavioral science related services. \n \n Criminal investigations into auto thefts, car jacking, organized crime, fugitives, and controlled substances. \n Arson investigations.  Publications and dissemination of the Criminal Activity Bulletin.  Polygraph exams for other criminal justice agencies upon request.  Assistance with security and crowd control for major organized events and civil disturbances in the state. \nFORENSIC SERVICES The Division of Forensic Sciences operates the \nheadquarters laboratory in Atlanta and 6 regional laboratories in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Moultrie, Macon and Summerville. The laboratories examine submitted evidence, report scientific conclusions about that submitted evidence, and testify in court about results. These services must be timely and as up-to-date as possible to satisfy the needs of the courts and the police. The Headquarters Laboratory consists of the following programs: \n Administration  Criminalistics  DNA Database  Drug Identification  SerologylDNA  Questioned Document  Implied Consent  Photography  Toxicology  Latent Examiner  FirearmsIdentification  Medical Examiner Services. \nGEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the \noperation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national information databases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Uniform Crime Reporting system. It performs audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies. \nAUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n222 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nContinuing his tradition of \n \nupgrading the capabilities and \n \nefficiency of the Georgia Bureau of \n \nInvestigation (GBI) each year, \n \nGovernor Miller is providing a special \n \nbep.efit for GBI agents and scientists \n \nin his F.Y. 1999 budget \n \nrecommendations-an extra pay \n \nincentive. \n \nThe following pay increases are \n \nproposed to help bring agents and \n \nscientists to parity as compared in \n \nsimilar jobs in the private sector or in \n \nthe employ of other governments: \n \nAGENTS-Increase \n \nthe \n \nbeginning salary for agents from \n \n$24,052 to $29,382; move agents that \n \nare paid below target to GeorgiaGain \n \nestablished target; and provide a 4% \n \nincrease for agents that are paid above \n \ntarget. \n \nSCIENTISTS-Increase the \n \nbeginning salary for scientists from \n \n$32,238 to $34,305; move scientists \n \nthat are paid below target to \n \nGeorgiaGain established target; and \n \nprovide a 4% increase for scientists \n \nthat are paid above target. \n \nThe GBI is losing agents and \n \nscientists to federal law enforcement \n \nand private companies for better pay \n \nand benefits. Their starting salaries \n \nare the lowest of Georgia's police \n \ndepartments, the lowest of 8 southern \n \nstates and the lowest after 5 and 10 \n \nyears of employment of 8 southern \n \nstates that were surveyed. \n \nThe Governor has recommended \n \n$940,000 to support the agent's salary \n \nincreases and $585,000 to support the \n \nscientist's salary increases for a total \n \nrecommendation of $1,525,000. \n \nCRIME INFORMATION CENTER \nAUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS) -- AFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fingerprints with speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fingerprint cards and reports of final disposition create and update computerized criminal history records which are used by all \n \ncriminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. These records are also used to respond to inquiries for applicant background checks. Latent prints submitted from law enforcement agencies are processed for the purpose of providing investigative leads or positive identification of a suspect. \nRemote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBI's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely. \nAFIS now electronically receives \n \nthumbs for each offender and total 1,116,811 records. Latent cognizant files total 762,149 and represents 10 fingers stored for each offender. The database also contains 4,200 prints lifted from crime scenes that do not match any prints in the tenprint files or the latent cognizant files. These prints are stored for future reference. The chart below represents significant productivity data since the inception of AFIS. \nAutomation of final disposition information is occurring in 2 ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions directly into the computerized \n \nActivity \nAFIS Searches AFIS Matches AFIS/CCH Records Initiated/Updated CCH Records Disseminated Tenprint to Latent Inquiries \n \nProduction \n524,028 330,032 591,866 792,903 464,048 \n \nfingerprint images transmitted directly from live scan terminals, and remote agencies search and update AFIS and the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) data bases. This recent upgrade of live scan images replaces the old inked impressions. Fingerprint images are captured electronically for transmission or for printing on a hard copy fingerprint card. \nIn the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget, Governor Miller has recommended $550,000 via a grant included in the Department of Community Affairs for 5 AFIS remote stations. These stations will be located in Whitfield County, Richmond County, Bibb County, Clarke County and Muscogee County. Local law enforcement agencies in these 5 counties and in surrounding counties will be able to take advantage of this advance technology to access the AFIS database. \nThe AFIS database files currently total 1,878,960. Tenprint files store 2 \n223 \n \ncriminal history database via the GO \n \nNetwork and a second transaction \n \nfrom specially designed case \n \nmanagement software. Electronic \n \nupdates of final dispositions from \n \nboth types of automated courts \n \naccounted for approximately 14% of \n \nthe judicial data to GCIC. \n \nGBI plans for future upgrades to \n \nhandle the increase in submissions \n \nand to take advantage of new \n \ntechnology through remote terminals \n \ninstalled throughout the state in local \n \nlaw enforcement agencies. \n \nCRIMINAL \n \nJUSTICE \n \nINFORMATION SYSTEM (CnS) \n \nNETWORK--The cns network \n \nprovides law enforcement and other \n \ncriminal justice agencies quick access \n \nto critical state and national and \n \ndriver's records; vehicle, boat and \n \nairplane registrations; stolen vehicles \n \nand property; wanted persons; and \n \nmissing children and adults. There \n \nare currently 5,217 tenninals on the \n \ncns Network. During F.Y. 1997, the \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nsystem processed 120,604,086 \n \nmessages. \n \nUNIFORM \n \nCRIME \n \nREPORTING (UCR)-- UCR is a \n \nprogram designed to collect and \n \nprovide crime statistics for Georgia \n \non incidents of crime and arrests. \n \nCrime and arrests statistics are \n \nreported to local law enforcement \n \nagencies, the Governor and General \n \nAssembly, the Criminal Justice \n \nCoordinating Council, county and \n \nmuuicipal officials, and media \n \nrepresentatives. Interested citizens \n \nalso could obtain the same statistics \n \nthrough the publication of \"Georgia \n \nUCR Summary Report\". \n \nThe UCR program also began the \n \ncollection of family violence incident \n \nreports during F.Y. 1996. The 1992 \n \nGeneral Assembly passed legislation \n \nmandating the collection, reporting \n \nand analysis of family violence data. \n \nFIREARMS PROGRAM (Instant \n \nGun Check)--The Firearms Program \n \nprovides a state backgrouud check for \n \nhandguu purchasers. Administered to \n \nbe in conformity with the provisions \n \nof Georgia law and the federal Brady \n \nHandguu Violence Protection Act, the \n \nprogram provides the means for a \n \nfederally licensed firearms dealer to \n \ncall a 1-800 number to obtain an \n \n\"instant check\" on individuals prior to \n \nthe transfer/sale of a handguu. This \n \ncheck is to insure the individual is not \n \nprohibited by law to possess a \n \nhandguu. GCIC has processed 85,152 \n \ntransactions and 7,637 have been \n \ndenied. Seventy-six were denied \n \nbased on felony warrants; 1,873 were \n \ndenied based on convicted felons; \n \n5,528 were denied based on felony \n \narrests with no dispositions; and 154 \n \nwere denied for family violence \n \ncrimes. \n \nCRIME \n \nLABORATORY \n \nSERVICES--Governor \n \nMiller \n \ncontinues to address the changing \n \ndemands for the services provided by \n \nthe Crime Laboratories statewide. To \n \naddress these demands, 2 additional \n \npositions and funds to fill 8 vacancies \n \nare being recommended in F.Y. 1999. \n \nWith construction of a new \n \nbranch laboratory in Summerville, \n \ncompleted in the summer of 1997, \n \n$205,000 for 2 positions and funding to fill a vacant position is recommended to staff a medical examiner program. This full service laboratory will give law enforcement agencies and the courts in the northwest portion of the state direct access to the expertise they need to solve cases and convict criminals. \nServices that are provided by the 6 regional laboratories will be improved with the support of an additional scientist at each laboratory. The Governor's recommendations include $147,790 for these scientist positions. Additionally, $23,446 is recommended to fill a technician position for the headquarters laboratory to handle the everincreasing receipt of evidence to be processed by the laboratory. \nLABORATORY UPGRADES-The Governor's F.Y. 1999 Budget recommendations include $1.3 \n \nthe GBI Headquarters, which includes \n \nthe state's largest medical examiner \n \nfacility, cannot accommodate the \n \ngrowing staff and increasing \n \nworkload. Built for performing 470 \n \nautopsies, in F.Y. 1997 a total of \n \n1,322 autopsies were performed. This \n \nlaboratory is on track to receive 150 \n \ncases per month in F.Y. 1998. The \n \nnew facility will allow personnel to \n \nphysically expand in the areas of \n \ncomputer \n \nservices, \n \nDNA, \n \nphotography \n \nand \n \nfirearms \n \nidentification. The Moultrie Regional \n \nMedical Examiner's Office has been \n \noperational for almost 2 years. \n \nAutopsies performed at this regional \n \nlaboratory greatly improved service to \n \nthe citizens of southwest Georgia. \n \nThese cases did not require \n \ntransportation to Atlanta.

The initial task \n \nforce was funded with a federal grant \n \nand was staffed with representatives \n \nfrom various local law enforcement \n \nagencies within a judicial circuit. \n \nOver the years, the bureau has had \n \nnumerous requests to provide \n \nASAC's to serve as supervisors for \n \nmulti-jurisdictional task forces \n \nthroughout the state. The Governor's \n \nCriminal Justice Coordinating \n \nCouncil administers federal grants, \n \nwhich are used as the initial funding \n \nsources for these task forces. \n \nCurrently the GEl is responsible \n \nfor the supervision of 15 multi- \n \njurisdictional task forces that work \n \nstreet to mid-level and in some \n \ninstances major drug investigations in \n \n50 of the 159 counties in Georgia. \n \nThese \n \nsupervisors \n \nprovide \n \nexperienced, capable leadership and \n \nhelp to ensure an organized and \n \ncooperative effort between not only \n \nthe GEl and the task forces but also \n \nother law enforcement agencies. \n \nCRIME SCENE SPECIALIST \n \nPROGRAM--GBI assigns 1 special \n \nagent as a crime scene specialist to \n \neach of the 15 regional investigative \n \noffices statewide. Each specialist is \n \nequipped with and trained in the use \n \nof the latest state of the art \n \ninstruments designed to identify, \n \ncollect and preserve physical evidence from a crime scene. Additionally, they are trained to reconstruct each crime as it occurred and testify to their fmdings after an examination of the physical evidence. \nThe unit is made up of 3 distinct units, the Crime Scene Specialist Section, the Medical Examiner Investigators Section and the Criminal Investigative Analysis (profiling) Section. \nFINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT--The Financial Investigations Unit serves as a mechanism for removing the financial rewards gained by persons and organizations involved in illicit drug trafficking. In the 6 years following the inception of this program, the unit has played a key role in successful seizures of over $40 million in illicit assets, and has been involved in training over 1,500 officers in the various investigative disciplines of financial investigations. \nThe investigative process utilized in drug related financial crimes apply as well to traditional and non-drug related white collar crimes, and state funded personnel have been added over the years to handle these type of crimes. Unit personnel have begun investigating fmancially motivated crimes such as fraud (to include \n \ntelemarketing and healthcare fraud), political corruption, embezzlement, theft and even murder. \nINTELLIGENCE UNIT--The Intelligence Unit acts as a repository for criminal intelligence information. The unit provides specialized support to GEl work units as well as other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. \nInformation from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies.

The division's management of projects involves preparing bids for the selection of a contractor to construct the facility; monitoring the progress of the projects; and providing the accounting services associated with disbursements of payments. In F.Y. 1996, the division disbursed approximately $669 million for construction and administered 72 projects. In F.Y. 1997, the division disbursed $603 million for construction and administered 62 projects.

The Council received 1,274 claims in F.Y. 1997 and made 737 awards. Victims can be compensated for out-of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $10,000. Public awareness for this program will be increased through regional workshops and statewide victim conferences. \nDuring F.Y. 1997, the council was designated to administer 2 additional grant programs, the Residential Substance Treatment Grant Program and the Violent Offender Incarceration/Truth in Sentencing Grant Program. \nThe Residential Substance \n \nCriminal Charges On Which 24 Defendants Have Been Indicted Following OCA's Criminal Investigations In FY 97 \n \nWire Fraud 28 Counts \n21% \n \nTotal - 135 Counts \n \nTheft Offenses 55 Counts 41% \n \nOdometer TamperingRollback 8 Counts 6% \n \nConspiracy 38 Counts \n28% \n \nCounterfiting Titles 6 Counts 4% \n247 \n \n OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR -- Strategies and Services \n \nTreatment program provides funds to \n \nassist state criminal justice agencies \n \nand units of local government in \n \ndeveloping and implementing \n \nresidential substance abuse treatment \n \nprograms within state and local \n \ncorrectional and detention facilities. \n \nThe \n \nViolent \n \nOffender \n \nIncarceration/Truth in Sentencing \n \nprogram provides immediate \n \nassistance to state and local \n \ngovernments to contend with the \n \nescalating inmate population crisis \n \nfacing most corrections systems. The \n \nprogram recognizes the need for \n \nadequate conventional confinement \n \nspace for violent offenders-adults \n \nand juveniles-to ensure that such \n \noffenders serve a substantial portion \n \nof their prison sentences. \n \nPROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS \nThe Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA) protects consumers and legitimate business enterprises from unfair and deceptive activities. \n \nTELEMARKETING-over $40 billion are lost each year to illegal telemarketing enterprises and therefore, it is no surprise that consumer protection agencies, like the OCA, routinely rank telemarketing complaints as either the first or second most prevalent type of consumer complaint received. While recognizing the fraudulent acts committed through telemarketing and the injurious effects upon consumers is relatively easy, combating and eliminating telemarketing fraud has been increasingly problematic. The OCA has continued to fight illegal telemarketing through every available means, including specialized investigations, aggressive civil litigation, and criminal prosecutions. The graph below recaps the types of criminal charges filed against 24 defendants. \nIn 1995, with the assistance of Governor Miller, a specialized program called the Georgia Elder Consumer Abuse Program was \n \nestablished to combat the increasing problem of financial abuse of elderly citizens. Our elderly citizens, who are a particularly vulnerable portion of the population, are routinely targeted for financial abuses since they often live alone, usually have substantial savings or equity, have a fixed income, and are generally more trusting than other segments of our population. \nThe OCA specializes in the education of older citizens about abuses directed at or against them and the investigation and prosecution of companies and individuals who are targeting their deceptive activities at our elder citizens. Of the many illegal telemarketing cases litigated in the last 3 years, the OCA has obtained judgments in excess of $2.5 million, representing consumer restitution, reimbursement of investigative costs and civil penalties and numerous injunctions prohibiting future deceptive activity. \n \n248 \n \n OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Results-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nOFFICE OF PLANNING AND BUDGET (OPB) \n \nFISCAL PLANNING AND PROGRAM EVALUATION \n \nPURPOSE: Guide and monitor the implementation of the Governor's policies by formulating the Governor's annual state budget recommendations, developing strategic plans, and assessing state programs and operations. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nThe state's annual budget will reflect the Governor's priorities and policies, and set the tone for fiscal accountability. \n \nAt least 70% of the agency performance measures in the F.Y. 1999 budget will be desired results. \n \nFifty-five percent of desired results in the F.Y. 1999 budget will be achieved. \n \nThe annual budget will not exceed anticipated revenues. \n \nThe state will maintain its AAA bond rating. \n \nState agencies will annually revise their strategic plans to reflect policies and priorities addressed in the Governor's State Strategic Plan, and use their plans to direct and manage state programs. \n \nSeventy percent of state agencies' F.Y. 1999 strategic plans will be clearly linked to the Governor's F.Y. 1998 State Strategic Plan. \n \nSixty percent of state agencies will report that they use their strategic plans to direct and manage agency programs. \n \nPolicy-makers and state agencies will use the results of program evaluations to improve program effectiveness and efficiency. \n \nAt least 70% of the recommendations to state agencies outlined in F.Y. 1997 evaluation reports will be implemented or in the process of being implemented within 12 months of delivery. \n \nGEORGIA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS \n \nSTATEWIDE ARTS DEVELOPMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Stimulate public interest and participation in the arts by encouraging artistic expression; assisting communities in creating performing, visual, and literary art; and preserving the state's artistic heritage. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nEnsure opportunities exist for all Georgians to experience the broadest possible range of artistic diversity. \n \nNinety percent of Georgia's counties will receive arts programs and services supported by the council. \n \nThe number of contract awards to organizations in each artistic discipline (performing, literary and visual arts) will be maintained within a 10% variance of the total grant. \n \nTwo hundred requests from the public to link them with artists and arts organizations for services will be filled.

This reflects a 30% decrease in the budgeted number of cases from 120,400 to 85,117, assuming a Y2% continued decline in the number of cases per month. The Governor proposes redirecting funds to support various social services. $15 million will be redirected to expand childcare slots. When combined with $10 million in redirected TANF funds, an additional 12,625 childcare slots will be created, bringing the total number of children in state-supported childcare to 81,625 at a total cost of $142.3 million. \n Federal TANF dollars are also being redirected from cash assistance to several other social services areas to help former and potential welfare clients achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. $7 million will be used to provide transportation services to persons on welfare who are in education and training programs or former TANF clients who are now employed. This $7 million will approximately double the funding being spent on transportation for welfare clients. Federal TANF funds will also be redirected to expand training and work partnerships with the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE). The $4 million being redirected will provide training in specific job skills so successful participants are ready for immediate employment. Another $6 million in federal TANF funds will be used to expand Georgia's teen pregnancy prevention initiatives. \n An additional $14 million in redirected state funds from TANF will provide the match for over $28 million in federal funds to support the new Welfare-to-Work grant for hard-to-place TANF recipients. Funds will be administered through the Department of Labor (DOL) based on a collaboration among DHR, DOL, and DTAE. \n The Governor is recommending $9.5 million in state funds to improve the quality of foster care and reduce the number of childrens' placements in different foster homes. Among these initiatives are comprehensive assessments to determine the most appropriate placement for children entering the foster care system, more funding for institutional foster care slots, and an increase in the family foster care per diem. \n $6,986,250 is being recommended to expand and enhance various adoption initiatives including using private placement agencies to permanently place 550 \n \nspecial needs children who are typically more difficult to place with adoptive families.  The Governor is recommending the closure of the Georgia Mental Health Institute (GMHI), a mental health hospital in DeKalb County, at a savings to the state of $12.2 million. $10.2 million of these savings will be redirected to community services for the chronically mentally ill (CMI) and pregnant substance abusers. An additional $14.9 million redirected from state hospitals to the community in accordance with the hospital reallocation formula (H. B. 100) will complete CMI services statewide and fund additional services for the mentally ill and substance abusers. $1.6 million is being redirected to complete core services for severely emotionally disturbed (SED) children statewide. \nRecommended Department Appropriation as a Percentage of the State Budget \n $7,594,141 is recommended to annualize the cost of community placements that were established for the residents of Brook Run, which closed effective December 30, 1997, and for clients on the waiting list.  The Governor is recommending $3,896,400 to expand community-based services for the elderly by adding 2,061 Community Care Waiver slots for Medicaid eligible individuals. $1,637,250 is recommended to serve an additional 932 elderly clients who are not Medicaid eligible.  The Governor is recommending $2.95 million to expand Family Connection sites statewide. Currently in 86 counties, this expansion to the remaining 73 counties in Georgia will enable communities to form local collaboratives which enhance and coordinate social services for children and families. \n \n259 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Children's Trust Fund Cash Benefits Special Purpose Contracts Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Operating Expenses Major Maint. \u0026 Const.

Bonds \n \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \n \n1,208,358,117 \n \n266 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Human R6sources (DHR) was created by the General Assembly in 1972 to form a coordinated network of human service agencies. Services are provided through over 100 health, financial assistance, social services, regulatory and rehabilitation programs in 1500 locations. \nThe department's mission is to assist Georgians in achieving healthy, independent and self-sufficient lives. In order to fulfill its mission the department is: \n Focusing on strengthening families; \n Encouraging and demanding responsibility from both parents in the caring of their children; \n Emphasizing communitybased services with local partners who share in making decisions; and \n Increasing emphasis on education, early intervention and prevention. \nTo achieve its goals and objectives in these areas, DHR is working closely with other state agencies, local communities, private enterprise, and private foundations and charitable organizations. \nThe department is also actively seeking to privatize services where possible. Day care, child support recovery, and community-based services for the elderly and for the mentally retarded are areas where privatization has been the most successful. \nWELFARE REFORM Georgia's new Temporary \nAssistance for Needy Families (TANF) program was implemented January 1, 1997 and has built on the successes of the state's welfare reform efforts over the last 5 years. Under this program, welfare is no longer an entitlement but a program that provides temporary cash assistance while moving people into employment. Cash assistance is limited to a maximum of four years -one year less than the federal maximum lifetime benefit. Georgia is \n \nimplementing the program according to these principles: \n A central focus on work;  Meeting the needs of children first; \n Linking benefits to personal responsibility; and \n Reducing teen pregnancy. The state will continue to \nprovide clients with support services to help them work or prepare for work. Transitional childcare and Medicaid are provided for one year. Subsidized childcare and Medicaid may continue after one year. Other services include transportation, job training and education, work clothes and emergency shelters. \nThe state is participating in the newly enacted federal Welfareto-Work initiative which targets hard-to-employ TANF customers through the collaborative developed by the Departments of Human Resources, Labor, and Technical and Adult Education. These departments will seek to integrate Welfare-toWork into Georgia's overall workforce development strategy, while maintaining local flexibility to meet the needs of local communities and helping recipients overcome barriers to employment and attain \n \nself-sufficiency. The Governor's F.Y. \n \n1999 budget recommendations \n \ninclude $14,004,188 to provide the \n \nstate match for the Work-to-Welfare \n \ngrant. \n \nThe TeenPlus program \n \nconsolidates and streamlines the \n \nstate's pregnancy prevention \n \nprograms that include abstinence \n \neducation, male involvement, and \n \nteen friendly clinics. The Governor is \n \nrecommending that $6 million in \n \nTANF funds be used in F.Y. 1999 to \n \nexpand these programs. \n \nAdequate childcare is essential \n \nto successful welfare reform in \n \nGeorgia. Women with children \n \ncannot easily move to self-sufficiency \n \nwithout safe, affordable childcare. In \n \nrecognition of this basic need, the \n \nGovernor is recommending that $25 \n \nmillion in state and TANF funds, \n \navailable due to TANF caseload \n \nreduction, be reinvested in the \n \nprovision of childcare. \n \nThis \n \nreinvestment would provide care for \n \nan additional 12,625 children, thereby \n \nincreasing the total number of \n \nchildren served to 81,625, a 18.3% \n \nincrease over F.Y. 1998. \n \nThe department has initiated a \n \nsubstance abuse treatment program \n \nTANF Enrollment \n \n160,000 \n \n140,000 + - - - - - - - - - - - - \n \n..u..'.'.o,\"\".... \n \n120,000 + - - - - - - - - - - - - \n \n100,000 +---------,.-l~ \n \n80,000 \n \n-I-II~~I-III-III___II___I~~~~ \n \n=e 60,000 \nz 40,000 \n \n20,000 \n \nC'l 00 \n \n'0\"0 \n \n00 00 \n \nFiscal Year \n \n------l \n--_____.j -_____.j \n~ \n \n267 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \ntargeted at low income, pregnant women and mothers with young children. The program is different from conventional substance abuse programs in that it focuses on the families' needs and provides support services, such as transportation, transitional housing and childcare, which are necessary if these women are to leave public assistance and regain custody of their children. The Governor is recommending $8 million in state and TANF funds to expand this program statewide. \n'THRIVE BY FIVE' On October 27, Governor Miller \n \nsocial needs to be addressed in the children's critical years; \n Starting Points, which helps ensure that parents are ready to care for their newborn babies; \n Babies Can't Wait, which provides early intervention for children born with developmental disabilities and special needs; \n Georgia Voluntary Pre-K program, which gives four year-olds an opportunity to acquire the skills they need to be ready to learn and succeed in school; \n The Family Connection which works under the guidance of the Policy Council for Children and \n \nimproving the well-being of children and families. The Policy Council framework for achieving this objective calls for results accountability; community-based planning and decision-making; a prevention focus; family-centered service strategies; government streamlining; and creative fmancing approaches. The Policy Council has identified 5 targeted result areas to improve the well being of children and families: healthy children; children ready for school; children succeeding in school; strong families; and self-sufficient families. Additionally, the Policy Council has \n \nMHMRSAFunding SummaryRY.1996 toF.Y.1998 \n \nF.Y. 1998 \n \nF.Y. 1997 \n \nF.Y. 1996 \n \n0% \n \n10% \n \n20% \n \n30% \n \n40% \n \n50% \n \n60% \n \n70% \n \n80% \n \n90% \n \n100% \n \n.CommWlity \n \no Hospitals \n \nintroduced \"Thrive by Five\" -- an umbrella initiative which includes a variety of programs to promote and enhance the development of Georgia's youngest citizens. The intent of \"Thrive by Five\" is to emphasize the importance of the early years in brain development; provide public awareness for parents/caregivers to nurture and stimulate their infants; and link common programs together for greater effectiveness, results, and better use of resources. Some of the programs under this umbrella include: \n Children 151, which checks all newborn babies to identify health and \n \nFamilies to form collaborative partnerships with communities to improve services to children and families. \nFunded initially by a $5 million grant from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, The Family Connection targeted 15 pilot communities. Currently, state funds have been appropriated to support 86 sites across the state. \nIn 1995, the Governor proposed and the General Assembly approved legislation creating a state-level policy council to develop and coordinate statewide strategies for \n268 \n \nadopted 26 benchmarks that measure progress toward these results. Throughout Georgia, local Family Connection collaboratives decide what areas are most important to them and tailor their own programs to meet their particular needs. \nOverall, children and families in Georgia are faring better today than in the early 1990s. While the state is making progress toward most of the' benchmarks, there is still much to be done. Therefore, Governor Miller is recommending $2.9 million in F.Y. 1999 to expand Family Connection' statewide. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nHOSPITAL RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN \nIn 1992, Georgia's General Assembly created a State Commission on Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Service Delivery to study gaps and shortcomings in the 150 year-old system and to make recommendations for improvements. The commission brought together consumers, families, advocates, providers, public and community leaders throughout the state. \nThe group focused on the issues of accessibility, accountability, equity, integration, consumer empowerment, and privatization. House Bill 100, one of the most sweeping health care reform proposals to be introduced in recent years, passed the General Assembly in March 1993 and was signed into law by Governor Miller on April 27. \nThe law created the framework for a new system and called for more local control and strong input from consumers and families. The key to the new system is the 13 governing boards which plan and coordinate MHMRSA services on a regional basis. The regional boards act as the front door to the service system and are the single point of accountability. They assess the needs in their regions and allocate all public funds, both community and hospital, based on regional plans to meet those needs. \nIn 1995, a task force was appointed to recommend an allocation methodology for allocating hospital resources consistent with the mandates of H.B. 100. The formula \n \nrecommended by the task force primarily addressed services for adult mentally ill and substance abuse clients. As a result, from F.Y. 1995 through F.Y. 1997, the state has made tremendous strides in shifting resources and clients away from state hospitals to community programs: \n The state hospital facility system had a 15.2% decrease in the total number of days of care. The cost centers that are a part of the allocation formula had a 27.8% decrease. \n The hospital system had a 30% decrease in the total number of admissions. \n All regions reduced their use of state hospital care. The regional average decrease was 28.9% which represents 12,771 days of care per region. \n The percent increase in community funding for F.Y. 1998 over F.Y. 1996 is 17%. \nIn F.Y. 1997, $14,675,283 was transferred from hospital services to community services. The Governor is recommending that another $14.9 million be transferred in F.Y. 1998. These funds will be used to expand services for the chronically mentally ill and for substance abusers. \nAdditionally, as a result of the decline in hospital utilization, the Governor is recommending the closure of the Georgia Mental Health Institute in Atlanta. Services provided by GMHI will continue to be provided by Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta. The proposal calls for redirecting $8.2 million of GMHI's state funding to complete \n \nservices for the chronically mentally ill. Another $2 million will be redirected to community substance abuse treatment for women. \nFOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION During F.Y. 1997, DHR provided \nfoster care for approximately 19,000 children. Many of these children have been moved from placement to placement. To provide a more stable environment for foster children, the Governor is recommending $16.5 million to expand and improve foster care and adoption services: \n More stringent screening of potential foster parents will be required along with more training to help them better cope with behavioral and other problems; \n The family foster care per diem will be increased from $10.70 to $11.1 0 to help offset the cost of rearing foster children; \n Funding will also be provided to assess 2,250 children entering the foster care system so that they can be placed in appropriate settings; \n Many children need an environment that is more structured than a basic family foster care setting.

The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, administration, and programs. The division also assists in ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements. \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE --The commissioner and staffprovide leadership for one of the largest agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met. There are approximately 22,500 state and county DHR employees in over 100 programs in 1,000 locations in all 159 counties. The commissioner is ap'pointed by and accountable to the Board of Human Resources which is appointed by the Governor. \nPLANNING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES--Budget and Financial Services has responsibility for auditing, budget preparation and management, and financial tracking and reporting. This office provides guidance to all divisions and offices regarding all items related to the budget and/or requested appropriations. \nPERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION--This office is responsible for classification and compensation; the flexible benefits program; complaint and discipline management; managing employee relations; equal employment opportunity; and maintenance of personnel records. \nFRAUD AND ABUSE--The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected fraud and abuse within the department's public assistance programs and seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process. This office also receives, reviews and investigates all reports of criminal misconduct by employees of the department. \nREGULATORY SERVICES--The Office of Regulatory Services is responsible for inspecting, monitoring, licensing, certifying and registering a variety of health, long-term and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state statutes or regulations. It also certifies various health care facilities to receive Medicaid and Medicare funds, through contracts with the Health Care Financing Administration of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department of Medical Assistance. \nADOPTION SERVICES--The Office of Adoption Services is responsible for increasing the number of children in DHR's custody who are placed in permanent adoptive homes.

These programs allow the elderly to \n \nremain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement of individuals in long-term care facilities. Programs are classified in two broad categories: Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Aging Services. The CCSP program provides client assessment, case management and six major services, including home-deliveredservices under a Medicaid waiver to individuals who meet specific income and healthrelated criteria.

Services include senior centers, home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and Alzheimer's programs. \nMULTI-AGENCY TEAM FOR CHILDREN (TROUBLED CHILDREN)--The MATCH program purchases treatment from intensive and intermediate residential treatment facilities and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists and other medical professions. In F.Y. 1997, this program provided 895 placements. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The State Health Planning Agency is attached to the \nDepartment of Human Resources for administrative purposes.

Public Health accomplishes this mission through \n \nthe provision of2 broad categories of services: \n \n Individual health services - direct delivery of health and medical care to individuals. \n \n Population-based services \n \nactivities and \n \ninterventions that are targeted to protect entire populations \n \nfrom illness, disease, and injury. \n \nRANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES Approximately 20% of Georgia's residents, or 1.4 \nmillion individuals, receive health services at county health departments each year. However, all Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. Specific duties of the Division of Public Health include: \n Preventing, controlling and treating a variety of diseases and afflictions which affect physical health, including cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, hypertension, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. \n Providing services in family planning, teenage pregnancy prevention, family health care, maternal and infant care, dental hygiene, community care for the elderly, malnutrition, and immunizations. \n Providing and disseminating health information and education. \n Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiological investigations and reporting communicable and infectious diseases. \n Monitoring various aspects of environmental health including inspections of restaurants, sewage systems, hotels and motels, and other facilities for compliance with health laws. \n Collecting vital statistics and maintaining records of all births, deaths, marriages and abortions occurring in Georgia. \n Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel. \n \n Policy Development - using the information gathered from assessments to develop and direct comprehensive state and local public health policies. \n Assurance - making sure that needed health services are available, either through the public or private sector, that address the health status and health needs of the community. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Division of Public Health has 19 district health \noffices located across the state. Each district office is headed by a director who must by law be a medical doctor. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, and administrative and program support to the county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment. \nIn each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department that is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on an individual's income; however, no one can be denied services based on the inability to pay. \nAUTHORITY Titles 31 and 49-6-60, Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated; and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, 889-564 as amended, 95-963, 95-627, 96-212 as amended, 96-510, and 99-457. \n \n\"CORE\" FUNCTIONS Because the responsibilities of Public Health have \nevolved to be so broad and varied, there has been much discussion about what the basic role of Public Health should be. To address these concerns, the division has adopted three \"core\" functions: \n Assessment - analyzing and evaluating, on a continuous basis, prevailing health status and health needs of the community. \n \n278 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nRehabilitation Services Financial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \n, \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services Special Purpose Contracts Purchase of Service Contracts Institutional Repairs and Maint.

As required by the 1992 amendments to the federal Rehabilitation Act, the division gives priority to those with the most severe disabilities. \nDRS also provides speakers, seminars, and consultation to state and local governments, employers and consumer organizations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. \nVOCATIONAL REHABILITATION Comprehensive services designed to rehabilitate disabled \nindividuals are provided statewide through 57 hub offices located within 12 service regions. Additionally, the division contracts with 22 private non-profit facilities located across the state. Services include vocational assessment, the development of an individually written rehabilitation plan based on service needs, medical treatment, psychological services, vocational and academic training, counseling, interpreter services for the deaf, reader services for blind individuals, work adjustment training, equipment and job placement. \nALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES While employment in the public and private sectors is the \nmajor emphasis of the placement process, there are alternative programs for people who are currently unable to work in the competitive labor market. \nThe Supported Employment Program offers support and services for individuals whose disabilities are so severe as to have precluded immediate entry or re-entry into the competitive workforce. Through temporary job coaches and supports within the community, a person can learn necessary job skills while working in a real job setting. \nThe Georgia Industries for the Blind provides training and employment in manufacturing and services to afford citizens who are blind the opportunity to learn job skills that can be used in the private sector. Plants are located in Bainbridge, Griffin, and Atlanta. \nThe Business Enterprises Program provides employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired to become independent business people operating vending facilities throughoutthe state. The federal Randolph Shepard Act gives priority to blind individuals in federal buildings and requires that the Director of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program be the state licensing agency. \n \nindependent in the local community. Preventing and/or removing people from nursing home care is one of the major functions of the Independent Living Program. Services are provided through contracts with 7 nonprofit agencies in Atlanta, Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Gainesville, Macon and Savannah. Additionally, the division operates a residential treatment program at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute. \nROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE The Institute is a statewide comprehensive rehabilitation \nfacility which serves people with severe disabilities.

The mission of the division is to enable families and individuals to' protect and care for their children and themselves. The division works to prevent dependency and to keep families together. \nThere are county departments of family and children services in each of Georgia's 159 counties. A county director and a local board administer the county offices. The county director oversees the daily operations and administers the programs in the county. The board serves as an advocate for the county department and approves the budget for the agency's operations and for county-funded programs. The County Commission appoints the board members. \nEMWLOYMENTPROGRAMS DFCS is the state agency responsible for conducting \nthe state's welfare program under the provisions of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This program replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The primary goal of the program has shifted from ensuring clients receive cash assistance to assisting needy families become self-supporting through job preparation, work, and prevention of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. \nAssistance to TANF recipients can be divided into three categories: work activities, support services, and cash assistance. Work activities include job searches, education and job training, and assistance with job placement. Support services such as child care, vouchers for housing, transportation, emergency needs and other necessary expenditures will assist the family toward work and prevent the need for cash assistance. Cash assistance is provided to TANF recipients either by check or electronic benefit transfer. \nThese services will be available in all counties. Services will be directed by the county department of family and childrens services in collaboration with other local public and private agencies. A range of job placement, job preparation and support services are available at the local level but will vary in content based on the availability of local resources. Work participation is a major component of Georgia's TANF program. Adult recipients, including those with children over the age of 1, are required to participate in a work activity. All services are provided in keeping with the goal of reducing dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls when they apply for assistance. \n \nSOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive approximately 80,000 \nreports of child abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigates reports and assesses the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. Over 19,000 children are in protective custody of the state at any given time. \nChildren whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, those of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system or who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoptions through the state. Many of these children are classified as special needs children and qualify for a supplemental payment after adoption. The department has been and will increase its use of private placement agencies to find homes for the special needs children in its care. In F.Y. 1997, 744 children were placed in adoptive homes through the state. \nCHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement helps any custodial parent \nor caretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Nearly 245,000 parents were under court order to pay child support in F.Y. 1997. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1997, over $314 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $68 million, of which $10 million were state funds.

The division is charged by law to: \n Provide adequate mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services to all Georgians. \n Provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers. \n Provide services through a coordinated and unified system that emphasizes community-based services. \nThe mission of the division is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence and self-sufficiency. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The division is responsible for setting policy regarding \nthe use of all federal and state funds and allocates funds to 13 regional boards. The regional boards are responsible for service planning, coordinating, contracting and resource allocation functions. The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures and monitoring and evaluating the achievements of service providers. \nTwenty-eight community service boards have been established to govern the operation of public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse community services. The regional and community boards are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice of providers by expanding participation of public and private providers. \nSTATE HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS There are 8 regional hospitals primarily addressing \npsychiatric and substance abuse problems. These hospitals are located in Atlanta (2), Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah and Thomasville. Additionally, patients are sent to state hospitals by court order for evaluation before trial and for treatment if found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. One state institution, Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serves people with mental retardation exclusively. Four of the regional hospitals have special units serving people with severe mental retardation. \nThe 9 institutions have a total staff of 9,903 which provide inpatient and outpatient services, therapies and \n \nother support services to clients within multi-county service areas. With an average client load of approximately 3,597 for all institutions, they serve 19,202 patients annually. \nAREA PROGRAMS \nThe 28 community service areas are made up of a variety of dispersed but coordinated subprograms serving all age and primary disability groups. Basically, this service network includes community mental health center clinic sites, mental retardation day training centers, detoxification units, 28-day treatment programs for substance abusers, day treatment programs for adolescent substance abusers and a variety of residential programs for all disability groups. Additionally, there are a number of community programs operated through contracts with private nonprofit agencies. \nThis service network delivers comprehensive preventive, early detection, rehabilitation and treatment services for five major groups: adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people who are mentally retarded, adults addicted to alcohol or other drugs and teens with alcohol and drug problems. Clients most in need are those with social, emotional, developmental and/or physical disabilities resulting from mental illness, mental retardation or substance abuse, and who, without state-supported services, are unable to function. \nWith the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each of these clients. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-tenn crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Additionally, community staff screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients who are discharged from the hospitals. \nThe community service programs are comprised of 218 state staff and over 10,000 local staff who provide services to approximately 80,000 mentally ill adults, 13,000 mentally retarded clients, 33,000 children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, and 47,000 substance abuse clients annually. \nAUTHORITY Titles 15-11-40, 17-7-130, 17-7-131,26-5,31-3,37-1-20, \n37-2 through 37-10 and 40-5, Official Code of Georgia

This was the first step in a more focused and collaborative public-private partnership for the department's economic development efforts. The Governor asked the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and its Board to \"raise the bar\" for our state's economic development efforts. Through the development of recommendations by several focus groups, the Governor has set forth a budget that reflects his priorities for elevating our economic development above those of our competitors in the Southeast, the nation and the world. The focus groups, representing the state's broad geographic interests and a cross section of industries and institutions, reviewed issue areas and recommended the most practical, workable ideas critical to the Department's and the state's, economic development efforts. \nThe recommendations by the focus groups reflected in the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget can be summarized into a few strategic areas. First, the Governor is recommending a teamwork approach to community and economic development especially \n \nin rural areas through the establishment of 11 state development regions plus the Atlanta Regional Commission. The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and the Department of Community Affairs will place 2 people in each of the II regions. The 2 DCA positions will be state resource specialists charged with helping plan and mobilize resources necessary to help communities grow and develop economically. Of the 2 ITT positions in each region, 1 will be an economic development officer working to strengthen existing business and industry and assist with rural economic development needs and the other position will be a workforce development specialist to help address the most often cited industry problem. \nAs part of this team effort, the Governor is recommending $732,000 for 8 economic development officers (3 positions already exist) and operating expenses and $1,326,828 for 12 workforce development specialists in the II regions and Atlanta. \nThe development teams will be advised by a Regional Advisory Council drawn from local government and business leaders in each region. DCA and ITT will each appoint the same number of advisors to the councils. State agencies who change their planning or service delivery boundaries to coincide with the boundaries of the new state development regions. A number of agencies and non-government organizations have already indicated they will change their boundaries to conform to the state development region boundaries. ITT's Strategic Planning and Research Division will utilize the Regional Advisory Councils and the development teams to fulfill the department's commitment to the Governor to develop a state strategy for economic development that recognizes the characteristics and circumstances of each region. \n \nA second critical area reviewed \n \nby the focus groups was technology, \n \nboth as a targeted industry \n \nrecruitment area and as a resource \n \nessential to the department's \n \nimplementation of future programs. \n \nThe technology focus group also \n \nrecommended that the Georgia \n \nLegacy Division target at least the \n \nsame industry areas as the Georgia \n \nResearch Alliance: \n \nadvanced \n \ntelecommunications, environmental \n \ntechnology and biotechnology. The \n \ngroup also recommended the addition \n \nof an advanced telecommunications \n \nrecruitment specialist position \n \n($122,943) to build on the area with \n \nthe greatest short-term growth \n \nopportunity. \n \nThe Governor is also \n \nrecommending $80,040 to hire a \n \npublic \n \ninformation \n \nand \n \ncommunications officer proposed by \n \nthe technology focus group and \n \n$220,000 to purchase necessary \n \nhardware and software to provide for \n \nthe management and access of the \n \ndepartment's and state's economic \n \ndevelopment data. \n \nAlso essential to the department's \n \nsuccess in accomplishing these \n \neconomic development goals is \n \nhaving well trained and adequate \n \nstaffmg. \n \nThe Governor is \n \nrecommending $398,555 for internal \n \ndepartmental improvements including \n \n$228,660 for staff training and \n \n$169,895 for technology information \n \nposition upgrades and merit system \n \nposition adjustments. \n \nWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Workforce development has \nemerged as a priority issue in economic development. In the past, a company asked about roads and water/sewer capacity when deciding where to locate. Increasingly, human \nresources are becoming critical ill \ndetermining whether a company locates or expands in a community. To begin exploring the critical needs of the state in the area of workforce, the Governor created by executive order in September of F.Y. 1998 the \n \n326 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \nGovernor's Workforce Development Taskforce. The Taskforce is recommending policy and legislative cnanges and initiatives to the Governor. \nAs a result of the work of the taskforce, it has become clear there needs to be a focal point for workforce development and a regional structure for assessing and responding to the varying levels of workforce needs around the state. The taskforce is proposing legislation to create the Workforce Policy and Planning Council attached to the Governor's Office and the Governor is recommending $300,000 in the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism budget to support the Council and to initiate programs and activities not eligible for federal funding. \nTo support regional workforce efforts, the Governor is recommending 12 workforce development specialist positions, 1 support position and operating expenses for a total of $1,326,828. This will provide for a specialist in each of the II state development regions plus one in the Atlanta ,area. These specialists, as employees of the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, will be responsible for creating regional strategies and goals for workforce development, establishing regional benchmarks and evaluating performance, coordinating state resources and other workforce related activities. A state workforce coordinator attached to the Council will help coordinate the Council's work with the department's regional workforce specialists. \nMAIN STREET In 1980, Georgia was one of 6 \npilot states to begin a statewide program of downtown economic development called Main Street. Using a simple but effective fourpoint approach modeled on a concept originated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Georgia Main Street is nationally recognized as a leader in practical economic development of its downtown \n \ncommumtIes with populations between 5,000 and 50,000. \nSince 1994, the Main Street program has been coordinated by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and the number of Main Street cities has grown to 40. The combined public and private investments of the central business districts in these cities was over 100 million in F.Y. 1997. \nIn F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller is recognizing the importance of this program and recommending $80,512 to add a position and enhance the program's operations to better coordinate the Main Street cities in this state. \nVISITOR CENTERS Visitor centers are the front door \nto our state and; therefore, must make a good first impression on visitors. This first impression can influence the state's ability to be a vacation destination to the 17 million visitors who stop at the 11 centers each year. \nIn F.Y. 1999, the Governor has recommended the transfer of the maintenance and operation of the visitor information centers to the Department of Transportation. DOT already maintains all rest areas in this state and will most likely contract out the maintenance of the visitor information centers. The Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism will continue to provide the information function at the centers, including providing visitors with brochures, answers to questions and assistance in finding lodging. \nIn fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 1997 the Governor recommended the reconstruction of the visitor centers in Ringgold, Lavonia and Augusta respectively, and in F.Y. 1995 $500,000 was provided for major repairs to the state's visitor centers. In F.Y. 1997, almost $500,000 was budgeted to extend visitor information center hours, 24-hour restroom service, enhanced maintenance and security and special travel marketing events during the Olympic Games. The Governor again \n327 \n \nin F.Y 1998 recommended $500,000 to make further repairs to visitor center roofs and sewage treatment plants. For F.Y.1999, the Governor has recommended $1,590,000 to construct additional restroom buildings and to modernize the interiors of the Kingsland and Savannah visitor information centers. In addition, the Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget includes $1,304,000 to replace the sewage treatment system at the Tallapoosa Center and $170,000 to replace the roof at West Point. \nINTERNATIONAL TRADE Since the creation of a separate \nTrade Division by Governor Miller in 1993, the department's trade efforts have focused on assisting companies in targeted industries with export potential. Governor Miller has expanded overseas trade programs focusing on contracts targeted to various countries offering trade opportunities rather than establishing overseas offices staffed with department employees. \nThe department will also continue to work through the Export Assistance Center, providing export information to small and mediumsized businesses in Georgia. Since its opening, the center has provided export information and resources to visitors and responded to more than 6,800 information requests from Georgia exporters and prospective exporters as well as from international buyers interested in Made In Georgia USA products and services. The Georgia Export Assistance Center remains the only one of 13 around the country that involves a true partnership between federal agencies, led by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and state agencies, led by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. \nIn F.Y. 1999, the Governor has included $70,000 for an export finance position that was transferred from the Department of Community Affairs. This position is located at the Export Assistance Center and provides export counseling and financial advice to small and medium \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \nsize companies with the greatest potential to export. \n \nGEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY \n \nGovernor Miller has always \n \nmaintained that Georgia must remain \n \na Southeastern center for international \n \ncommerce. His commitment to \n \npositioning Georgia for global trade \n \nexpansion is reflected in his budgets \n \nsince F.Y. 1992. \n \nHe has \n \nrecommended $139,200,000 million \n \nin funding for port facilities in \n \nSavannah and Brunswick. In addition, \n \nthe state has invested $84,847,000 \n \nmillion for harbors and maintenance \n \nduring \n \nGovernor \n \nMiller's \n \nadministration. \n \nUnder the management of the \n \nGeorgia Ports Authority, the Port of \n \nSavannah has emerged as one of the \n \npremier container ports in the U.S., \n \noffering service to more than 100 \n \ncountries by more than 50 major \n \nsteamship lines. Savannah now is the \n \ntenth largest container port in the \n \nUnited States and the third largest in \n \nthe highly competitive South Atlantic \n \nmarket. The Authority's growth rate \n \nin container tonnage has exceeded 61 % over the last 10 years, and with Home Depot is expected to exceed 75% by the end of 1997. \nFor F.Y. 1999 Governor Miller is recommending $1,500,000 in G.O. Bonds to complete the feasibility study and design of the Brunswick harbor deepening and $4,140,000 for the full feasibility study and design of the Savannah harbor deepening. A matching amount of federal funding will bring the total feasibility and design cost to $3,000,000 for Brunswick and $8,280,000 for Savannah. \nGEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER \nThe authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center, Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The Congress Center is an international trade show and convention facility legislatively created to encourage economic development and to enhance private enterprise. The facility opened its doors in 1976 and, with the Phase III \n \nexpansion completed in 1992, constitutes the second largest convention center in the nation. The expansions of the Congress Center have allowed the facility to accommodate growing trade shows and conventions such as The Super Show, which draws more than 100,000 attendees. \nIn order to continue to accommodate growth in trade shows and to remain competitive, the Governor is recommending $10,530,000 in G.O. Bonds for the planning and design of the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center. Once constructed, this facility will add 3 exhibit halls, 30 meeting rooms, a ballroom, banquet room and other trade show facilities. \nIn addition to the expansion, the Governor is recommending $3,836,900 in F.Y. 1999 for needed repairs to the original roof and HVAC system of the Congress Center. The Georgia World Congress Center will provide 50% of the funds, for a total of $7,673,800 for the repairs. \n \n328 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nBUSINESS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION \n \nPURPOSE: Expand and strengthen Georgia's economy by recruiting companies from outside Georgia and encouraging existing industry expansions within the state. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nAttract new business and industry to Georgia communities that will build new facilities or occupy existing vacant facilities. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the number of business entities recruited to Georgia. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the number ofjobs created by these business entities. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the capital investments created by these business entities. \n \nEncourage and facilitate the expansion of existing industries in Georgia. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the number of business entities expanding in Georgia. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the number ofjobs created by these business entities. \n \nIncrease by 5% over a 5 year average the capital investments created by these business entities. \n \nPromote Georgia's national and international image as a superior place to do business. \n \nMaintain Georgia's ranking in the top 10 \"places to do business\" in selected national surveys. \n \nINTERNATIONAL TRADE DEVELOPMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Expand and strengthen Georgia's economy by expanding exports through involving more small and medium-sized companies in international trade. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nIncrease the number of Georgia companies participating in export programs which lead to export transactions. \n \nProvide customized agent/distributor searches to an average of at least 20 companies in each ofGDITT's target markets, an increase of 10%.

Manufactured housing plant reviews usually entail the examination and approval of each housing design plan and quality assurance manual. Before a plant commences operation, an initial comprehensive inspection is conducted involving all aspects of production and material handling, along with testing and evaluating the plant's quality assurance program. Plants in operation are inspected regularly. During these inspections, each section of each home is inspected in at least one phase of the production process, to assure compliance. The plant and the homes it produces must be in full compliance with federal and state standards before a HUD label of approval can be placed on the manufactured homes and these homes offered for sale. The Manufactured Housing section also regulates the sale and installation of manufactured homes through inspecting manufactured homes on dealer lots for possible damage during transit to the dealer, for dealer alterations and other violations. Inspections can be prompted by consumer complaints. Section staff handled 1,344 such complaints in calendar year 1996. \nPresently, section staff have the responsibility of enforcing federal and state manufactured housing standards for the 26 licensed in-state plants and 93 out-of-state manufacturers licensed to conduct business in Georgia. Section staff regulate 621 licensed manufactured housing dealers and 532 licensed installers. \nFIRE SAFETY EDUCATION The Fire Safety Division, through \nits Fire Safety Education Program, develops instructional programs on and promotes awareness of fIre safety.

Funding is recommended (McIntosh $3,147,870; Emanuel - $3,862,861) to annualize the operations of both facilities. \n \nThe Governor's recommendations include funding to increase the total number of youth development campus (YDC) beds from 2,896 in F.Y. 1998 to 3,007 in F.Y. 1999. The recommendations also increase the number of regional youth detention center beds from 1,007 in F.Y. 1998 to 1,286 in F.Y. 1999. \nIn addition, facilities planned or under construction will increase the number of youth development campus (YDC) beds to 3,307 and the number of regional youth detention center (RYDC) beds to 1,496 by F.Y. 2001. \n New facilities either starting or becoming fully operational in F.Y. 1999 include: \n \n Another major proposal in the Governor's budget recommendation is privatizing the management of the state's contract and attention homes. Previously, department staff handled recruitment and monitoring of homes, as well as placement of juveniles. This recommendation will redirect 13 positions to concentrate on active juvenile case management. \n The budget recommendation also continues the plan to upgrade the training of the department's juvenile correctional officers. In F.Y. 1999, Phase II will provide for the POST training of another third of the 1,100 staff to be trained. Upon completion of POST training, staff will be eligible for a 5% salary increase ($523,305). \n \nMetro Atlanta Regional Youth Detention Center: Scheduled to open in June 1998.

Funding is recommended ($5,854,706) to annualize the operation of all 400 beds. \nIrwin Youth Development Campus: Opened in January 1995 as a 316-bed facility. Funding is recommended ($1,314,288) to expand capacity by 120 more beds to 436 in March 1999. \n \n Another highlight of the Governor's budget recommendation is the expansion of the RYDC educational system. This proposal would provide 330 minutes of education each school day for all children in the RYDC system. It would also establish four regional principals to help direct overall educational goals ($2,391,207). \nF.Y.1999 Recommended Program Fund Allocations \n \nRYDCs 23% \nCommunity Programs 25% \n \nYDCs 52% \n \n345 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \n \nF.Y.1996 Expenditures \n \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Health Service Purchase Service Benefits for Children Purchase of Service Contracts Grants To Co.

Prior to 1992, the department functioned as a division within the Department of Human Resources. The purpose of DJJ is to:  Provide for the supervlSlon, detention, and \nrehabilitation of juvenile delinquents committed to the state's custody;  Operate and provide assistance for prevention programs; and  Provide for treatment of juvenile offenders with specialized needs. \nAside from internal support services, DJJ carries out its operations through three divisions: campus operations, detention services, and community programs. \nCAMPUS OPERATIONS This division manages the youth development \ncampuses (YDC). These institutions hold juveniles for long-term sentences and 90-day boot camps. \nYDCs are state institutions that provide a residential setting for juveniles including academic, recreational, vocational, medical, counseling, and religious services. \nWithin the past few years, there has been a tremendous growth in the need for YDC bed space. The department has been handling this responsibility through rapid expansion. \nIn F.Y. 1999, the division will operate ten facilities through the department or by private contract. The total bed capacity at the end of the year will be 3,007 beds with plans for two other YDCs to open in fiscal years 2000 (Sumter County) and 2001 (Muscogee County) creating a statewide total of 3,307 beds. \nDETENTION SERVICES This division provides for juveniles to be detained in \nregional youth detention centers (RYDC) until a court hearing can be held or a permanent placement for the youth is available. \nEven though RYDCs are designed for short-term occupation by a juvenile, a full range of services is available including education, medical, and counseling. \nCurrently, the state operates a network of 20 RYDCs with a total capacity of 797 beds. There are also contracts with Chatham County and Fulton County for RYDC bed space. \nIn late F.Y. 1998, the new Metro RYDC will replace the Fulton County detention center. It will be a 200-bed facility, expandable to 300 beds in F.Y. 1999 with the addition of temporary bunks. \nPlans for F.Y. 1999 also include an additional 189 new RYDC beds bringing the statewide total to 1,286. The Governor's recommendation also proposes to add 210 more beds by F.Y. 2001 for a total of 1,496. \n \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS This division is responsible for case management of \njuveniles, as well as the development and operation of community-based rehabilitation programs. \nCase management is conducted primarily through court services. This unit provides intake of juveniles, as well as probation services. Court services offices are located throughout the state. \nThe division also operates five group homes: Albany, Augusta, Gainesville, Savannah and Winder. Four homes serve males with the newest one in Augusta serving females. Generally, a group home provides a family environment along with group counseling. \nAttention/contract homes overseen by the division are similar to group homes, but serve less than five juveniles. They are scattered throughout the state situated in either family homes or other appropriate institutional foster care settings. \nAnother responsibility of the division is to manage the contracts for wilderness camps and outdoor therapeutic programs for youths in the department. \nMulti-service centers are also run through the division. The centers consolidate DJJ programs and offer services in the evening hours and weekends. \nFinally, the division runs three non-residential community schools. The goal at these schools is to help youths transition back to a regular academic setting. \nAUTHORITY Titles 15-11, 39-3, and 49-4A, Official Code of \nGeorgia Annotated. \n \nState Funds Budgeted for Juvenile Justice (in Millions) \n \n$200 \n$150 $127 \n$100 \n \n$149 \n \n$201 $175 \n \n$50 \n \n$- \n \n\\0 e'\" \n \n'\" :.a ~ .3 \n \n~...; \n \nc \u003ccl).. \n \n\"LIJ \n \n....

This number, however, is \n \nprojected to be as high as 3,423 \n \nyouths by the end ofF.Y. 2001. \n \nYDC beds are not the only \n \nresidential slots needed. The short- \n \nterm beds of the regional youth \n \ndetention centers (RYDC) are also \n \nneeded. These slots are for juveniles \n \nwaiting to see a judge or to be placed \n \nin another DJJ program. \n \nThe state's daily RYDC \n \npopulation in F.Y. 1998 will be \n \napproximately 1,337, growing to as \n \nhigh as 1,595 by the end of F.Y. \n \n2001. \n \nLegislation, in response to \n \ngrowing juvenile crime rates, has \n \nbeen a major factor in the population \n \ngrowth of the last four years. The \n \nSchool Safety and Juvenile Justice \n \nReform Act of 1994, popularly \n \nknown as S.B. 440, changed two \n \nprovisions in the state's juvenile \n \njustice codes. \n \nFirst, the amount of time a \n \njuvenile could spend in the custody of \n \nthe department increased from 18 \n \nmonths up to 60 months. Therefore, \n \njuveniles are spending a much longer \n \ntime on average in the department's \n \ncare. \n \nSecondly, S.B. 440 created 90-day \n \nprograms. These short-term intensive \n \nprograms are widely used by juvenile \n \ncourt judges throughout the state. \n \nThey are popularly known as boot \n \ncamps. \n \nThe use of boot camps has been \n \none of the most rapid areas of growth \n \nin the department. In F.Y. 1994, 78 \n \njuveniles were sentenced to 90-day programs. \nAfter the program was widely implemented by judges in F.Y. 1995, the number of youths sentenced jumped to 2,802 that fiscal year. In F.Y. 1996, that figure climbed to 4,476 and then to 5,593 in F.Y. 1997. \nYOUTH DEVELOPMENT CAMPUSES \nDue to the rapid growth in the need for secure juvenile detention during the past four years, the department has focused most of its efforts on expanding the capacity of these facilities. \nYouth development campuses (YDC) have been the main areas of residential growth for DJJ. Currently, \n \nthe department has eight YDCs with a total capacity of 2,21 0 beds. \nFollowing is a breakdown of permanent beds by facility: \n Augusta - 360 beds;  Bill E. Ireland - 500 beds;  Eastman - 100 beds;  Irwin - 316 beds;  Lorenzo Benn - 148 beds;  Macon - 166 beds;  Pelham - 120 beds; and  Wrightsville - 500 beds. DJJ will open two more 168-bed YDCs in F.Y. 1998 in McIntosh and Emanuel counties. Eastman YDC will also add 300 beds in F.Y. 1998. Two more 150-bed YDCs will open in F.Y. 2000 (Sumter County) and F.Y. 2001 (Muscogee County). \n \nCurrent and Future Locations of State YDCs \n \n353 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE -- Strategies and Services \n \nRegular YDC programs provide a campus setting where juveniles receive a wide range of services. \nAcademic, recreational, medical, vocational, counseling, and religious services are available to all juveniles committed to the department and sent to a YDC. \nThe 90-day programs are run by the department as \"boot camps.\" The main difference between boot camps and normal YDC stays are: \n Housing and daily activity for boot camps is in a military-style environment; \n Boot camp juveniles are separated from the regular' YDC population; and \n Juveniles perceive the boot camp as an alternative to a regular YDC stay. \nWhether a juvenile is committed to a regular YDC program or sentenced to a boot camp, the department's focus is to protect the public by supervising juvenile offenders in a safe, secure, and healthy setting while assisting these offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. \nThe department expects 76% of those youths discharged from a YDC in F.Y. 1998 not to be recommitted to the state's juvenile or adult correctional systems by the end of F.Y.1999. \nThe Governor's budget recommendation proposes to expand Irwin YDC by 120 beds in F.Y. 1999, open Sumter YDC at 150 beds in F.Y. 2000, and another state YDC with 150 beds in F.Y. 2001. \nREGIONAL YOUTH DETENTION CENTERS \nAnother area of growth under the department is that of short-term detention center beds. These slots are located in the regional youth detention centers (RYDC). \nThe departmental goal for the detention program is to protect the public by detaining juveniles in a safe, secure and healthy setting until the juvenile has a court hearing or is \n \nProjected YDC Populations and Proposed Bed Levels 3500 ,\"''''''''',..\"''''''''\".\"''''',.\".. ,,'''',,.,,''',,...,,'\",,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,\"\"\"\"\". ,,,,,\"'''',,,,. ,,''''''',,.'''''\"\"\".. \"\"\"\"\"\"\"''''''''''''''''''''''\".,..,',,.,,'', \n___----r~ - \n3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 \n500 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \n1999 \n \n2000 \n \n2001 \n \no YDC Population \n \n-- YDC Total Beds \n \nplaced in another department program. \nAt the conclusion of F.Y. 1998, DJJ will have 21 facilities with a total capacity of 997 beds. F.Y. 1999 will add 289 more beds through expansion of existing facilities, creation of temporary beds and construction of new facilities. \nThe Governor's budget recommendation also allows for 210 more beds to be added by F.Y. 2001. \nWhile RYDCs have a different primary function than YDCs, they also offer various services to the juveniles in the department's care. \nThe Governor's budget recommendation for F.Y. 1999 not only increases the capacity of the RYDC system, but also improves the educational services provided to these youths. \nTo meet the additional time of 330 minutes of education per day required by the State Department of Education and to handle the enormous growth in the RYDC population, the Governor's budget recommendation proposes to add 23 new teachers to the RYDC system in F.Y. 1999. \nIn addition to these teachers, the department will be able to coordinate efforts better under the leadership of \n354 \n \nfour proposed regional principals. These positions do not currently exist in the RYDC school system and will help to increase the quality of education available to juveniles under the state's care. \n \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS \n \nThe department's community \n \nprograms division handles a variety of \n \nrehabilitative efforts as part of DJJ's \n \ncomprehensive strategy at handling \n \njuvenile delinquencies. \n \nThe ftrst aspect of community \n \nprograms a juvenile encounters is \n \ncourt services. In most Georgia \n \ncounties, a court service worker acts \n \nas the intake offtcer. \n \nAt intake, the court service worker \n \nhelps to determine if the offender \n \nshould be informally adjudicated, for \n \nftrst time or minor offenders, or \n \nformally processed into the juvenile \n \njustice system, for those repeat \n \noffenders or those charged with a \n \nmore serious crime. \n \nCourt service workers also act as' \n \nprobationary offtcers for juveniles in \n \nthe state. In this capacity, the worker \n \nensures that the directives of the \n \njuvenile court are carried out. \n \nI \n \nThe community program division \n \nalso actively manages each juvenile's \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE -- Strategies and Services \n \ncase through court services. Juvenile \n \nprobation/parole specialists (JPPS) \n \ncoordinate rehabilitative efforts, \n \nincluding counseling, supervision, as \n \nwell as discovering other \n \nrehabilitative programs for juvenile \n \noffenders. \n \n, Rehabilitative \n \nprograms \n \nassociated with the division are \n \ncustomized based on the need of the \n \nindividual child and the availability of \n \nslots in individual rehabilitative \n \nprograms. The \n \ndepartment \n \ncontracts with private vendors for \n \nmany of these services. \n \nOne major rehabilitative service is \n \nattention/contract homes that provide \n \na family or institutional setting to \n \njuveniles for a period of time. \n \nCurrently, the department has \n \nprivatized the management of \n \nattention/contract homes in two of the \n \nstate's six districts. The Governor's \n \nbudget recommendation expands this pilot program statewide in F.Y. 1999. \nIn this recommendation, a vendor recruit, trains, and monitors families willing to keep juveniles in their homes. Each of the six DJJ districts will have a separate contract to localize delivery of services. \nOutdoor therapeutic programs are also offered as a rehabilitative strategy by the department. These programs are run by contract with private vendors having the goal of developing the social, emotional, and educational functioning of those juveniles attending. \nThe outdoor setting of these programs teaches individuals that they must work with others to accomplish goals. Residents learn about individual responsibility and how consequences arise from their own behaviors. \n \nCurrent and Future Locations ofRYDCs* \n \nAnother community program \n \ncentering on rehabilitation is the \n \ndepartment's group homes. The \n \ndepartment currently operates five \n \ngroup homes. The Governor's budget \n \nrecommendation funds another home \n \nspecifically for females in F.Y. 1999. \n \nGroup homes provide a close \n \nfamily environment complete with \n \nregular group counseling. In group \n \nhomes, juveniles are able to interact \n \nsignificantly with the community \n \nbefore they are released from the \n \ndepartment's custody. This helps \n \njuveniles adjust to society once they \n \nare independent or they are released \n \nback to their families. \n \nSome other community programs \n \noperated by the department are \n \nlocated in DJJ's multi-service centers. \n \nThese centers are located in \n \nChatham, DeKalb, and Fulton \n \ncounties. \n \nThey consolidate \n \ndepartmental programs under one \n \nroof and offer services during the \n \nweekends and after school hours. \n \nMuch of the focus in multi-service \n \ncenters is on aftercare or helping \n \ntransition the juvenile back to society \n \nafter his or her time in the custody of \n \nthe department is over. \n \nHUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT \nA continuing strategy of the department has been to increase the training and development of DJJ staff. \nThis proposal continues the POST (Peace Officers Standards and Training) certification of DJJ's juvenile correctional officers \nTo train all current juvenile correctional officers will take approximately three years. F.Y. 1999 represents the second phase of officer training. \nAlong with current staff, all new recruits are undergoing the training process. The training will greatly improve the skills needed by DJJ staff in dealing with the special needs of juvenile delinquents. \nThe training for the department's staff is conducted at the new expansion for DJJ at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. \n \n355 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nCOMMUNITY-BASED JUVENILE OFFENDER PROGRAMS \n \nPURPOSE: To assist juvenile offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens through communitybased programs and services. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nTo assist juvenile offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. \n \nFifty-seven percent of committed youth discharged from a community program in F.Y. 1996 will not be recommitted to the state's juvenile or adult correctional systems between release and the three-year period ending F.Y. 1999.

The department, through its programs and wide spectrum of services, plays an important role in the development of the state's workforce. Major areas of responsibilities of the department are in training, services, protection and information. \nTRAINING In a joint partnership with businesses and other \ncommunity leaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged youth and adults, older workers, summer youth and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality of the labor force in the state. Through the Georgia Job Training Partnership program, authorized and funded under the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the department's responsibilities include: \n Administering over $62 million in federal funds annually as grants and contracts. \n Issuing regulations and monitoring programs to ensure operations in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. \n Providing technical assistance and training to local staff to improve program administration. \n Approving local job training plans.  Managing a performance standards system and tracking local operations against federal standards to determine areas of excellence, award of incentive funds and the need to assist or sanction local programs. During the past fiscal year, approximately 31,019 Georgians participated in one or more of the Partnership programs. The Partnership is directed locally in each of the state's 16 service delivery areas by a private industry council that participates in the unified planning process and oversees implementation of the planning function. Basic program decisions regarding what job training is needed in an area are made by the councils. \nSERVICES The department reduces the adverse impact of \nunemployment by providing monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period, and by assisting employers in minimizing their unemployment insurance tax liability. During F.Y. 1997, 375,188 unemployment claims were filed with the department. The department also provides federally-funded supplemental benefits to unemployed job seekers who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits. \n \nOne of the department's primary responsibilities is the administration of the public employment service in the state through a statewide network of 53 offices. The department provides an array of services which include: \n Referral of qualified applicants to employers who have listed job openings. \n Counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs. \n Referral to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care and supportive services. \nA total of 59,935 applicants received employment or vocational counseling in F.Y. 1997. The department also provides basic readjustment services for \"dislocated workers\" whose job losses resulted from changing technology or other economic conditions. These services include assessment, counseling, testing, and job search and relocation assistance. Additionally, the department serves 1,530 at-risk youth at 17 sites located in school systems statewide through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program; provides employment service to disabled individuals who register for the service; and provides placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers and Armed Forces veterans who are making the adjustment from military to civilian life. \nPROTECTION The department has responsibility for administering \nGeorgia laws regulating the employment of children and regulatory responsibility of equipment, such as amusement and carnival rides, elevators, escalators, safety glass, high voltage apparatus, boilers and pressure vessels. The department processed 54,972 work permits for students during F.Y. 1997 and the Safety Engineering staff performed a total of 64,400 safety inspections of elevators, boilers and amusement rides. \nINFORMATION Compiling and disseminating labor market information \nis a primary responsibility of the department. Available information includes data on employment, worker availability, wages and historic projected trends. Several of the statistical series published by the department, such as Georgia Labor Market Trends and Area Labor Profiles, serve as key indicators of the state's economic health. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 34, 39 and 46 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated \n \n363 \n \n GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe theme for the past year for the Department of Labor can best be described as interagency collaboration and coordination. Throughout the year, the focus has been on improved customer service through better access, more streamlined services and clearly articulated performance measures. \n \nONE-STOP CAREER SYSTEM In the works for the past few \nyears, the Georgia One-Stop Career System is being developed statewide. Its goal is to bring together workforce development and human services programs into a coherent, coordinated system at the state and local levels. \nAn electronic network will link programs and agencies throughout the state. Georgia was just awarded a federal one-stop grant of $4 million spread over two years to make these links a reality. In the future, customers will only have to enter vital information once. As soon as information has been entered into the system, it will be available to other offices and workforce development programs, allowing staff to work as a team to better target their services to individual needs. \nFurther, customers will soon be able to access America's Job Bank, an Internet-based national job listing and resume-matching service, as well as timely labor market information and the Georgia Career Information System from any labor or human services office. \nIn addition to electronic linkages, labor and human service staffs are co-locating in many places, creating physical one-stops. In these offices, staffs are often taking a team approach to customer service. \n \ni~'\\.~4~,:M\u003c \nlI\u003e:l;1\" ~. \"'\u003e, \n \nMEMORANDUM OF \nUNDERSTANDING \nThe team approach \n \n~\\, becomes even more \n \ncritical with welfare reform, and the department has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Human Resources (DHR) and the Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) to further reduce redundancies and streamline their services. The common denominator is the population now on TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and the three agencies have come together to meet the stringent state and federal work requirements. The Memorandum of Understanding: \n focuses on immediate employment opportunities for welfare customers and persons with disabilities, as well as developing strategies to foster long-term success for these customers in the workplace; \n encourages coordinated efforts and strategies in the areas of: -sharing customer information to minimize duplication; -coordinating intake, assessment and case management; -collaborating on job referrals; -coordinating efforts with employers; -linking electronic databases and coordinating training efforts; and \n allows providers in the partner agencies to develop local service strategies so that each may specialize in what it does best. \nIn this collaboration, each agency builds on its strength. For instance, rather than the Department of Human Resources hiring a large number of job developers whose responsibility would be to fmd jobs suitable for often low-skilled people with little if any work experience, this task now rests with the Department of Labor. Already in the business of fmding jobs for people and making matches that satisfy both job seekers and employers, the department has transferred its most experienced people to work with TANF recipients. DHR, in tum, has taken the lead on case management, and DTAE on training. \nStaffs from all three agencies are learning new roles, as well as how to \n364 \n \nwork together. In many cases, staffs are co-locating to be able to provide comprehensive services to clients regardless of where they enter the system. Over 130 Department of Labor staff members are being located in various Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) offices and other community locations, thus ensuring easy access to employmentrelated services in all areas of the state. The collaborative is already seeing positive results as the population on public assistance continues to decline. \nCHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION OF LOCAL nPA PROGRAMS \nDue to funding cuts and other issues, it has become apparent in the past few years that additional options for local administration of Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs were needed. In response to requests by chief elected officials and private industry councils (PICs), the department has agreed to serve as grant recipient in some regions. The department took on the administration of JTPA programs in the 14-county Southwest Georgia service delivery area, previously administered by the Southwest Georgia Regional Development Center in Camilla. The department also became the grant recipient for the l3-county Georgia Mountains region when the RDC opted not to continue in that role. \n \nnPA Participant Data (F.Y. 1997) \n \nDisadvantaged Adults Disadvantaged Youth Summer Youth Dislocated Workers Older Workers \n \n4,361 1,925 6,852 16,304 \n350 \n \nAs local system building continues through the three-agency collaborative, the department anticipates more requests for centra' administration of local programs. There are certain administrative \n \n GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies and Services \n \nefficiencies that make this arrangement attractive for some areas of the state. \n \nSERVICES TO DISLOCATED \n \nWORKERS \n \nThrough JTPA (Title III), the \n \ndepartment provides services to \n \nindividuals who have been laid off \n \nand are unlikely to return to jobs in \n \nthe same occupation. \n \nWhen a layoff is announced, \n \nan on-site meeting is arranged with \n \nthe employer. State, local office \n \nand JTPA staffs explain to the \n \nemployer and the organized labor \n \nrepresentative(s) the variety of \n \nservices available to workers. They \n \nalso discuss the opportunity to file \n \na Trade Act or NAFTA Trade \n \nAssistance petition, if appropriate. \n \nThese programs are available to \n \nassist workers whose jobs have \n \nbeen eliminated because of imports \n \nor moved to Mexico or Canada as a \n \nresult ofNAFTA. \n \nThe next step is to schedule an \n \nemployee meeting. During the \n \nmeeting, local providers explain the \n \nservices and options available to \n \nthe dislocated workers. They also \n \nsurvey the workers to determine \n \ntheir needs. Training providers \n \ndiscuss retraining options and \n \nclaims for unemployment insurance \n \nmay be filed. \n \nFinally, either on-site or at the \n \ninitial visit to a local office or \n \nsubstate provider, workers undergo \n \nindividualized needs assessments \n \nand are offered retraining or \n \nreemployment services. \n \nAt \n \nemployer requests, local staff \n \nprovide services on-site. For some \n \nlarge layoffs, career resource \n \ncenters are established at locations \n \nconvenient to the dislocated \n \nworkers. \n \nIn Georgia, the largest number \n \nof layoffs has occurred in the \n \nmanufacturing industry, followed \n \nby transportation, communication \n \nand public utilities. In rural parts \n \nof Georgia, layoffs have tended to \n \nbe structural in nature-i.e. those \n \nindustries that are declining as a \n \nwhole in the United States (such as \n \ntextiles, apparel and manufactured homes). \nIn rural areas, dislocated workers are typically interested in obtaining another job in their community, either immediately or following retraining. The employment and retraining options in these areas tend to be \n \nCommissioner working with the employer community. Tax rate reductions were passed in both the 1996 and the 1997 Legislative sessions. This would not have been possible but for a healthy economy and a prudently managed unemployment insurance trust fund. \n \nDISWCATED WORKERS BY INDUSTRY \n \n16000 \n \n14000 \n \n~ \n \n. . .----41~ \n \n~ 12000 \n \no \n~lOOOO \n \n\"0 \n~ 8000 \n \n\u003cJ \n~ 6000 \n \n:0 \n'0 4000 \n \n'1'1: 2000 ~--\"_~_--7' ..... \n \nO+---c;::L.:....-_..!:;=!-_-::::~----, \nPY94 PY95 PY96 PY97 \n \nProgram Year \n \n Manufacturing \n- - -0- - - Transportation, CommWlications \u0026 Public Utilities \n...

Often urban dislocated workers are willing to drive further or to relocate to obtain a good job. As a result, they have more options available to them. \nGeorgia has fortunately enjoyed a decline in worker dislocations in all industries over the past few years. As the chart above shows, even manufacturing dislocations have declined to a level more comparable to other industries. \nUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE TAX RATES \nIn 1998 Georgia employers will get another welcome reduction in unemployment insurance rates. For instance, an employer with an average tax rate of 1.48% in 1997 paid $126 per employee per year. In 1998, that same employer will see the rate go down to 1.33%, which results in payments of only $113 per employee, or a savings of$13. \nThis reduction was a result of legislation recommended by the \n365 \n \nTHE GEORGIA COMMISSION ON WOMEN \nThe Georgia Commission on Women continues to address issues of violence, gender bias, sexual harassment and childcare/child support. During F.Y. 1997, the commission kept a statewide focus on women's issues through summits, seminars, lobbying, newsletters, a website, its legal resource guide, a speaker's bureau and an information and referral center. The commission maintains a database of over 700 women's organizations and, during F.Y. 1997, partnered with 25 of these for various events. For the second year in a row, the commission held a Georgia Woman of the Year event, this year honoring Dr. Betty Siegel, president of Kennesaw State University. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Results-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Assist individuals in preparing for employment and finding jobs, and provide employers with training and employment-related services. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nProvide job-matching services between employers and qualified members of the workforce. \n \nThe number ofjob seekers who find employment following job fmding services will increase by 5%. \n \nThe number of employers using Department of Labor services will increase by 10%. \n \nThe number of employers who are \"satisfied\" or \"very satisfied\" with the employment-related services of the Department of Labor will increase by 5%. \n \nProvide job seekers with training opportunities that enable them to find employment. \n \nThe number ofjob seekers who are employed within 13 weeks following training will increase by 5%. \n \nThe number ofjob seekers completing Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs who fmdjobs and are still employed 13 weeks after the program will increase by 5%. \n \nPrepare youth for further training, jobs or military service entry. \n \n60% of the participants in the Jobs for Georgia Graduates program will go on to unsubsidized employment after high school graduation, with 75% going into full-time jobs. \n \nThe number of youth completing JTPA programs that obtain jobs and/or achieve enhanced skills will increase by 5%. \n \nLABOR MARKET INFORMATION \n \nPURPOSE: To gather, analyze and distribute a wide range of employment and employmentrelated data and statistics to customers to facilitate employment and economic development. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nProvide complete, accurate and timely employment, unemployment and labor market information and analyses in response to internal and external customer requests. \n \nAll reports and other analyses will meet contractual requirements or established standards. \n \nUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE \n \nPURPOSE: Provide short-term income maintenance to eligible individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nMaintain and protect the solvency ofthe Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. \n \nMaintain the 1998 rate year reserve ratio (2.24%) for the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. \n \nMake timely and accurate payments of unemployment insurance benefits to eligible unemployed individuals. \n \n95% of all benefits will be paid within 21 days. 366 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nSAFETY TRAINING \u0026 INSPECTIONS \n \nPURPOSE: Promote and protect public safety through a comprehensive inspection and enforcement program for boilers, pressure vessels, elevators, escalators, amusement and carnival rides and safety glass;

The Attorney General is the chief legal officer of the state and is a constitutional officer elected to a 4-year term in the same general election as the Governor. \nDUTIES The Department of Law represents the state in civil and \ncriminal actions, in all capital felony actions before the Georgia Supreme Court, in all actions before the U.S. Supreme Court, and in all actions against a district attorney. It is the duty of the Attorney General to provide opinions on any question of law involving the interests of the state or duties of any department The Department of Law also prepares and reviews contracts and other legal documents in which the state is interested and drafts proposed legislation or rules and regulations for state agencies. The department investigates the conduct of state agencies, officials, or employees, and firms or corporations for violations in their dealings with the state. The Attorney General and his staff \n \nare authorized to prosecute civil and criminal actions to recover loss, damage or injury to the state. \nThe department also operates the State Law Library, a non-circulating law and legislative reference library for use by state government personnel and the general public. \nDEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the department is organized \ninto a department head's office, a counsel to the attorney general and special prosecution section, 5 law practicing divisions, and an operations division. The 5 law practicing divisions provide a full range of legal services to designated state departments, authorities and agencies. The Law Department is reimbursed by the state agencies for litigation expenses incurred, such as court costs, witness fees, filing costs and reporting costs. \nAUTHORITY Article 5, Section 3, Paragraph 1, Georgia Constitution; \nTitle 45, Chapter 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n375 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Law provides a full range of legal services in its role as the attorney for state agencies, officials, and employees in the executive branch of government. The department's 100 attorneys respond to requests for legal assistance and representation in administrative hearings, state or federal court litigation, review of contracts and other legal documents, the acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters, and legal advice or opinions. \nDuring F.Y. 1997, the department received about 9,000 requests for its legal services and advice. The department's attorneys do not handle the entire workload due to the volume, but also because there are instances where a case requires certain expertise or where a conflict of interest may exist. To help meet its legal obligations in a timely fashion, \n \nthe department retains private attorneys, Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs), when necessary. The department contracted with 380 SAAGs at a cost of $15 million in F.Y. 1996 and with 395 SAAGs for $16.3 million in F.Y. 1997. \nAbout 50% of the total fees and expenses paid to SAAGs are incurred for legal work done on behalf of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Human Resources. \nSome of the other high profile cases and major initiatives being handled by the department involve environmental issues, consumer protection, and various fraud cases. \nENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The department's Environmental \nand Natural Resources section has provided legal representation to the state in drafting water allocation \n \n220,000 \n215,000 \n.rIJ \n:= \n=..0 \n\"CI 210,000 \n~ \n \nDepartment of Law Contracts with Almost 400 Private Attorneys to Handle Various Cases \n$16.3 million \n$15 million \n \n205,000 \n \n200,000-F\":':\":'.:..:.:.o \n \n1996 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n1997 \n \ncompacts for the AppalachiaChattahoochee-Flint River Basin and the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin between Georgia, Alabama and Florida, and also between Georgia and Alabama. These compacts have been enacted by each of the states and were signed into law by President Clinton on November 20, 1997. \nThe department successfully represented the Department of Natural Resources' Environmental Protection Division in a \"citizen suit\" action filed under the federal Clean Water Act. This is the first case the State of Georgia has filed using the \"citizen suit\" provision of the Clean Water Act. As a result of this litigation, East Ridge, Tennessee has been ordered to perform corrective actions on its sewage collection system to eliminate raw sewage discharge into areas of North Georgia. East Ridge has also paid numerous penalties and fees, including half the cost of rehabilitating the sewage collection system in Catoosa County, Georgia. \nThe department's Environmental and Natural Resources section also negotiated and drafted consent orders with 7 companies for violations of various environmental laws that resulted in civil penalty payments to the state in the amount of $628,000 and supplemental environmental projects with an estimated value of $364,000. The department has also assisted in dealing with Atlanta's discharge of pollutants into state waters. The department negotiated a proposed consent order establishing civil penalties for violation of discharge limitations. \n \nCONSUMER PROTECTION \n \nDuring the past fiscal year, the \n \ndepartment has been actively \n \nprotecting the consumer in Georgia, \n \nand has become increasingly involved \n \nwith numerous multi-state consumer \n \nlaw initiatives. Some examples of the \n \ndepartment's consumer protection \n \nefforts as follows: \n \nI \n \n376 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW -- Strategies and Services \n \n Filed 5 lawsuits against telemarketers. \n \n Filed suit for violations of the business opportunity laws and \n \nnegotiated a consent judgement to \n \nresolve the case. \n \n,  Filed suit and obtained a \n \ntemporary restraining order against \n \nseveral individuals operating mail \n \nfraud targeting the elderly. \n \n Filed a lawsuit against a home repair contractor targeting the elderly. \n \n Obtained a consent judgment award of $330,000 for the Office of \n \nConsumer Affairs as a result of a suit \n \nbrought against a major retail merchant for unfair practices in their \n \nbankruptcy reaffirmation practices. The department is monitoring a multi- \n \nstate investigation against other retail \n \nchains \n \nwhose \n \nbankruptcy \n \nreaffirmation practices are also in \n \nquestion. \n \n Participated in a multi-state advance-fee loan sweep by drafting \n \nand filing a complaint. \n \n Enforced the Office of Consumer Affairs' civil penalty \n \norders. \n \nEMPLOYEE FRAUD The department is handling one \nof the largest criminal prosecutions in its history in the case of 2 professors at the Medical College of Georgia. The department conducted an extensive investigation into allegations of research misconduct on \n \nthe part of the 2 professors. The results of the investigation concluded that the Medical College had suffered losses of research revenues in excess of $11 million dollars. In addition, the case has raised serious questions about the clinical trials process and the protection of patients involved in such trials. \nIn February 1997, the Richmond County grand jury returned a 172count indictment against the 2 professors. Simultaneously, a civil case was filed in Columbia County Superior Court, and attachment proceedings were instituted in South Carolina, North Carolina and London, England. \nThe department's efforts have been successful so far and led to a guilty plea by one of the accused professors in December 1997. The guilty plea resulted in a fine and a 5year prison sentence. The department is pursuing its case against the other professor. \nSTATE HEALTH CARE FRAUD CONTROL UNIT \nDuring F.Y. 1995, in compliance with sections of the Social Security Act, as amended by the MedicareMedicaid Anti-Fraud and Abuse Amendments of 1977 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the State Health Care Fraud Control Unit (SHCFCU) was created. Through the cooperative effort of the \n \nparticipating agencies, it is composed of personnel from the Department of Audits, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GEl) and the Department of Law. The GEl is the federal grant manager for the SHCFCU and is responsible for the budget and the fiscal management of the unit. \nIn support of this effort, the Department of Law organized a Medicaid Fraud Control Unit consisting of 5 prosecuting attorneys, 1 paralegal and 2 legal secretaries. The unit was created to: \n Serve the public.  Uphold and enforce the law. \n Investigate and prosecute health care fraud. \n Protect vulnerable patients from abuse. \nAs of July 1, 1997 the unit was actively investigating 72 cases of suspected Medicaid fraud and 35 cases of suspected abuse of patients in nursing homes. During F.Y. 1997, the SHCFCU obtained criminal felony convictions of 28 individuals for defrauding the Georgia Medicaid Program. The unit also recovered and returned to the state treasury a total of $2.6 million in criminal restitution and civil penalties. In addition to these recoveries, the courts have ordered individuals convicted of Medicaid fraud in cases prosecuted by the unit to pay over $3 million in restitution and fmes. \n \n377 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nLEGAL SERVICES \nPURPOSE: Protect the interests of the state and its citizens by providing legal services and representation to the executive branch of state government. \n \nGOALS Represent and litigate on behalf of state agencies, state officials and insured state employees. \nProvide sound and timely legal advice to the agencies, officials and employees of state government. \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \nComplete all legal actions on a minimum of 5,600 cases, administrative hearings and potential litigation matters.

In Fiscal Year 1997, Medicaid covered one in six Georgians, or 17% of the state's population. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 1999 recommendation represents a very modest growth amount - 1.64% over F.Y. 1998 - and is the first increase in Medicaid since F.Y. 1996. The Governor's recommendation includes significant cost containment measures while allowing for some increases in certain provider rates. Highlights of the Governor's recommendation are as follows: \n \nRecommended Appropriation as a Percentage of the State Budget \n11.4% \nInsurance Plan. The proposed Medicaid expansion will ensure that all children through age 5 under 200% of the federal poverty level have access to health care services. \n \nCost Containment Measures  $12,873,990 in state fund savings resulting from increased fraud and abuse efforts. The department has proactively addressed fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program since F.Y. 1995; however, national and state estimates continue to project that 10% of all health care payments are fraudulent. To minimize Georgia's exposure to fraud and abuse, the Governor's recommendation includes $1.75 million in state matching funds to establish a 50 person fraud and abuse unit to step up efforts in this area. \n $6,124,605 in state fund savings that result from a reduction in benefit expenditures due to a decline in the number of Medicaid recipients, mostly attributable to the decline in welfare caseloads and an improving economy. \n $7.3 million in state fund savings from changes in the reimbursement methodology for nursing homes. The Governor's recommendation includes adjusting reimbursement for administration from the 70th percentile to 105% of median ($3.4 million in state funds), and eliminating the efficiency payment made to nursing homes whose rates are below the cost ceiling ($3.9 million in state funds). \nHealth Policy Issues  $8,638,199 in state funds to increase access to nursing facility services for Medicaid eligible Georgians by eliminating the 3% patient day cap. \n $7,809,322 in state funds ($28,490,777 total funds) to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Children's Health \n \nProvider Rate Increases  $6,556,828 in state funds to provide an inflationary increase to nursing home providers. The Governor's recommendation would add the F.Y. 1998 DR! inflation factor, offset by a 1% adjustment, to the F.Y. 1995 nursing home cost reports currently used for rate setting. \n $6,335,727 in state funds to provide an inflationary increase for inpatient hospital providers. The Governor's recommendation would add the F.Y. 1998 DR! inflation factor, offset by a 1% adjustment, to the current Diagnosis Related Group payment rates for hospitals. \n $3,723,255 in state funds to increase reimbursement rates for dental providers to 80% of the usual and customary fees based on a 1996 Georgia Dental Association fee and salary survey. This action is intended to increase access to preventive dental services for Medicaid recipients. \n $1,466,058 in state funds to update the Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) to the 1997 scale. The RBRVS reimbursement methodology is used to pay physicians. \nThe Governor's recommendation also includes an increase of $18.3 million in state funds to reflect increased utilization and inflation in the Medicaid program, including $13.1 million to cover a decline in the Federal Financial Participation rate. The departmental impact of the recommended cost containment measures, additions and enhancements is a net increase of $21.7 million in state funds over the Fiscal Year 1998 budget. \n \n381 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges TeIecommunications Audit Contracts Medicaid Benefits \nTotal Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \nPositions Motor Vehiclt:s \n \nF.Y.1996 Expenditures \n13,474,435 5,569,465 \n176,863 39,473 765,371 66,928,585 25,242,143 424,232 918,317 3,493,159,903 \n3,606,698,787 \n \nF.Y.1997 Expenditures \n14,480,070 6,418,800 \n198,723 39,307 728,218 92,052,252 24,537,753 440,314 1,005,442 3,625,927,315 \n3,765,828,193 \n \nF.Y.1998 Current Budget \n \nF.Y. 1999 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection Level \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n17,102,396 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,558,574,004 \n3,734,506,057 \n \n17,236,311 5,500,000 \n195,000 51,500 765,380 105,772,952 39,941,998 545,000 772,500 3,527,324,356 \n3,698,104,997 \n \n50,800,102 50,800,102 \n \n17,236,311 5,500,000 \n195,000 51,500 765,380 105,772,952 39,941,998 545,000 772,500 3,578,124,458 \n3,748,905,099 \n \n2,244,271,892 104,343,448 \n2,348,615,340 1,258,083,447 \n \n2,328,430,848 127,826,029 \n2,456,256,877 1,309,571,316 \n \n2,294,700,767 115,533,400 \n2,410,234,167 1,324,271,890 \n \n2,258,243,218 115,533,400 \n2,373,776,618 1,324,328,379 \n \n306 \n \n306 \n \n306 \n \n306 \n \n4 \n \n4 \n \n4 \n \n4 \n \n30,819,776 \n30,819,776 19,980,326 \n \n2,289,062,994 115,533,400 \n2,404,596,394 1,344,308,705 \n \n306 4 \n \nMedicaid Benefit Expenditures \n \nby Aid Category \n \nF.Y.1997 \n \nAFDCAduits 18.5% \n \nChildren 20.5% \n \nAged 16.8% \n \n~======3 Blind \n \n~~ \n \n6.1% \n \nOther XIX \n0.5% \n \nDisabled 37.5% \n \nNote: This chart does not include the Indigent Care Trust Fund. \n382 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y. 1999 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Equip.

The mission of the department is to provide prompt access to quality health care in the most appropriate setting. \nMedicaid is funded by state and federal dollars. The federal government pays the largest share of Medicaid costs. Georgia's Medicaid program receives various levels of federal reimbursement for different services and functions. For example, the federal government pays 90% of the cost of family planning services and 61 % for most other benefits. Computer costs are 75% federally funded, and most other administrative costs receive 50% federal funding. \nADMINISTRAnON Administrative costs represent less than three percent \nof total expenditures. Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is the fiscal agent for the Georgia Medicaid program. While DMA is responsible for administering the Medicaid program, EDS processes claims and maintains reporting systems that enable the department to monitor the program and enforce its policies and procedures. Through EDS, the department processed over 56 million claims in Fiscal Year 1997. \nThe department works to ensure accurate and appropriate payment for services using a claims processing system with an intricate series of computer edits and audits. Program integrity and compliance with state and federal regulations are monitored through reviews, audits, and investigations. When overpayments are identified, the department makes collections. Other measures such as precertification and prior approval have been instituted to prevent payment for services that are not appropriate or medically necessary. In F.Y. 1997, collections and measurable cost avoidance saved over $900 million. \nThe national trend in state Medicaid agencies is for contracting and capitation for services. This allows these agencies to control expenditures and to more accurately project budgets. DMA intends to seek ways in which it can enter into contracts for services wherever possible to contain costs. \nMedicaid coverage is available for certain people based on eligibility requirements, such as income, resources or assets, as specified by law. Some categories of eligibility are mandated by the federal government while others are optional. The department contracts with the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) to determine eligibility. DMA works with DHR's Division of Family and Children Services to ensure that eligibility determinations are accurate. Georgia maintains an error rate below the federal tolerance level of 3%. \n \nBENEFITS Making health care available and accessible to \nmedically indigent Georgians is the primary focus of the state's Medicaid program. In F.Y. 1997, the department paid for health care services to 1.24 million individuals, at a cost of$3.15 billion. A broad array of services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program. Reimbursement for physician, pharmacy, hospital and nursing facility services account for almost 82% of benefit expenditures. \nMedicaid pays for inpatient hospital services when services cannot be provided on an outpatient basis. Most inpatient hospital stays must be certified prior to admission. Services are reimbursed based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG). Reimbursement for outpatient hospital services is based primarily on reasonable costs. Hospital reimbursement accounted for approximately 34% of benefit expenditures last year. \nMedicaid pays for care in institutional settings for recipients who are unable to remain at home or in the community. Nursing facility services are reimbursed using per diem rates calculated from standardized cost reports. CertifiGation is required prior to admission to determine the level of care needed by the recipient. The department contracts with the Georgia Medical Care Foundation to perform this function. Reimbursement for nursing facility services accounted for approximately 24% of benefit expenditures last year. \nMedicaid pays for services provided by licensed physicians. More than 74% of recipients visited physicians last year. The department uses a statewide maximum allowable fee schedule for physician services. Physician services account for close to 13% of benefit expenditures. \nDrugs requiring a prescription, insulin, diabetic supplies and certain nonprescription drugs are covered by Medicaid. A few drugs require prior approval. The department contracts with the Georgia Pharmacy Foundation to review and process requests for prior approval. Reimbursement for drugs accounted for almost 11 % of benefit expenditures in F.Y. 1997. \nA variety of other services accounted for 18% of benefit expenditures. Among the services in this category are health check screenings for children under 21, dental services, mental health services, transportation, home health, and laboratory services. \nAUTHORITY Title XIX of the Social Security Act; Title 49-4, \nOfficial Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n387 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nStrategies and Services \n \nIn F.Y. 1998, it is projected that \n \nMedicaid will pay for health care \n \nservices provided to 1.2 million \n \nindividuals. Payments for services \n \nare projected to total $ 3.2 billion or \n \napproximately $2,619 per recipient. \n \nSince F.Y. 1982, the number of \n \nrecipients has risen 185%, largely due \n \nto eligibility expansions mandated by \n \nthe federal government. However, \n \nthe department is now experiencing a \n \ndecline in the rate of growth in \n \nrecipients (1.6% projected for F.Y. \n \n1999). \n \nWhile the program was \n \nexperiencing 10% to 15% annual \n \nincreases in benefit expenditures \n \nduring the late 1980s and the early \n \nI990s, the state is now seeing a \n \nslowdown in the rate of growth in \n \nbenefits. In fact, in F.Y. 1996, per \n \nrecipient costs decreased for the first \n \ntime this decade by 2.9%. With \n \nredirection and cost containment, the \n \nF.Y. 1998 budget reflected a 1.1% \n \nincrease over F.Y. 1997. The \n \nGovernor's recommendation for F.Y. \n \n1999 represents a 1.6% increase over \n \nF.Y. 1998. \n \nAggressive \n \nmanagement \n \nprograms and a sharpened focus on \n \ncost containment are largely \n \nresponsible for holding down the \n \nprogram costs. The department is \n \npursuing managed care options \n \nthrough two programs: Georgia Better \n \nHealth Care (GBHC) and a voluntary \n \nHealth Maintenance Organization \n \n(HMO). The goals of these two \n \nprograms are to reduce Medicaid \n \nexpenditures, reduce inappropriate \n \nutilization of medical services, \n \nimprove access to appropriate care, \n \nenhance and encourage continuity of \n \ncare, and increase the use of \n \npreventive services such as \n \nimmunizations, and health check \n \nscreenings for children. \n \nGEORGIA BETTER HEALTH CARE \nGeorgia Better Health Care (GBHC) is a primary care case management program currently operating statewide in Georgia. \n \nGBHC is authorized through federal waiver of certain Medicaid regulations. The program contracts with primary care physicians and providers to deliver, coordinate and manage health care for Medicaid recipients. \nEnrollment in the GBHC program is mandatory for all Medicaid recipients, except for recipients residing in counties where the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) program has been implemented. Recipients in those counties have the option to choose between the HMO and the GBHC program. The department does not require that recipients residing in nursing facilities, personal care homes, mental hospitals, and other domiciliary facilities enroll in the managed care program. Additionally, the department has excluded those recipients with short-term Medicaid enrollment from managed care. Each eligible GBHC recipient is linked to a primary care provider who is responsible for providing primary care services and authorizing specialty care and inpatient admissions. The primary care case managers receive a monthly case management fee of $3.00 per recipient for coordinating the recipient's health care services, regardless of whether the recipient is seen by the provider. When other services are provided, the regular feefor-service reimbursement applies. \nThe GBHC program began as a pilot program in seven counties in October 1993. The department will complete the statewide expansion of the GBHC program in January 1998. Currently, almost 3,700 primary care providers deliver and manage the care for approximately 527,184 Medicaid recipients. \nHEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS \nThe department implemented a pilot managed care program in the five metro Atlanta counties in 1996. The department expanded the HMO \n \nprogram into Augusta, Macon and Savannah in F.Y. 1997 and 1998. \nThe department contracts with HMOs to provide a comprehensive array of health care services to Medicaid eligibles that choose to enroll. The department intends to offer additional contracts to every licensed HMO that applies for a contract and meets the state's standards for participation. \nThe voluntary HMO program focuses on the needs of women, particularly pregnant women and their children. Financing incentives are included to encourage HMO contractors to achieve much higher Health Check screenings and immunization rates than are currently experienced in the regular fee-forservice program. In addition, HMOs are required to demonstrate that they have made a good faith effort to encourage Medicaid enrollees to participate in their health plan for preventive health care rather than waiting until they have an acute need for health care services. \nFRAUD AND ABUSE The Governor's recommendation \nfor F.Y. 1999 includes funding to create a Medicaid fraud and abuse unit. The fraud and abuse unit will be responsible for proactively focusing on provider reimbursement practices and the potential to \"game\" the reimbursement due to loopholes in program policy. The fraud and abuse unit will be comprised of state level and field unit staff. The state level staff will monitor services for abusive billing practices and develop policy reimbursement recommendations to limit opportunities for fraud and abuse.

The department is also funded from assessments, contract fees and health insurance receipts. The F.Y. 1999 recommended assessment to be levied on all state agency authorized positions for providing a base level of statewide services should be no more than $136 per authorized position. \n \n396 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nRoles and Responsibilities \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of state government. The Merit System is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data, and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices. \nThe enactment of S.B. 635, passed during the 1996 Legislature, decentralizes the state's personnel administration system, allowing agencies the freedom to assume from the Merit System the responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties. The Merit System remains responsible for performing these duties for agencies electing not to assume them. \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall \nleadership, direction and management of the agency to include the areas of legal services, public relations and information services, policy analysis and development, budget administration, strategic planning and coordination of the agency's quality work initiative. This division also provides: research, counseling and education in equal employment opportunity and diversity; evaluation, counseling, mediation and education in management! employee relations; and management of the state's employee recognition, charitable contribution and employee suggestion programs-. \nTRAINING AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT The Training and Staff Development section of the \nHuman Resources Administration Division assesses and assists agencies in determining employee job-related skills needs; develops and delivers in conjunction with state agencies performance management training for new supervisors; assists departments in meeting training objectives by designing and/or conducting train-the-trainer sessions; and manages and conducts training courses for the Certified Manager Program. The Division fulfills its duties through several means including the oversight and coordination of the use of: a training center, teleconferencing facilities and equipment, satellite downlink facilities and equipment, and an education and training resource library. \nCOMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffing section of the \nHuman Resources Administration Division offers a variety of services to assist agencies regarding employee compensation, work studies, applicant screening and evaluation, and recruitment. These services are usually in the form of labor market research and analysis, development and implementation of equitable pay and reward systems, general and specialized employee recruitment, distribution of job information, design and \n \nadministration of written and non-written tests, and processing and evaluating job applications as requested. \nPERSONNEL PRACTICES EVALUATION AND AUDIT \nThe Human Resources Administration Division performs evaluations and audits of state agency personnel practices as required in S.B. 635, as passed in the 1996 Legislature, and in accordance with guidelines established by the Personnel Advisory Council. The division's duties include developing and maintaining model standards and processes which agencies may use in the course of their personnel administration activities. The division audits state agency personnel programs and practices for conformity and compliance with recognized professional practices and legal requirements. \nEMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Employee Benefits Division administers the \nemployee State Health Plan and the Flexible Benefits Plan. These plans include benefits such as fee-for-service and HMO health coverage, behavioral health coverage, pharmacy coverage, group term and dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and dental, legal, medical and child care spending accounts. The division is involved in benefit design and communication, maintaining employee eligibility records, interacting with agency benefit coordinators, reviewing and administering claims, monitoring contractors providing insured benefit products, and review of plan utilization. \nINTERNAL ADMINISTRATION The Internal Administration Division furnishes \nadministrative, technological and accounting services for other Merit System divisions and administers the State Deferred Compensation Plan. These services include human resource management, payroll, purchasing, mailroom operations, contract services, data entry, and mainframe and personal computer systems support. The division also provides human resource services to state agencies through administration of the payroll audit, personnel policy consultation and interpretation, and statewide drug testing functions. The division's duties also entail the receipt and deposit of health, flexible benefits and deferred compensation revenue; management of funds for the State Health Benefit plan in order to provide for claims payments while maximizing investment income; monitoring of contractor compliance and performance; provider billing and claims audits; and the investment and distribution of deferred compensation funds. \nAUTHORITY Titles 20 and 45 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n397 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration utilizes an assortment of programs and services in monitoring and coordinating personnel administration and benefit plans within state government. The enactment of S.B. 635 in F.Y. 1997 continues to significantly reshape the role of the Merit System and state agencies in the selection, hiring and management of personnel. Agencies now are free to assume certain personnel administration activities from the Merit System if they choose, and all new state employees hired are exempt from the classified service and its administrative and procedural restrictions. As a consequence, the Merit System is moving from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies, to one of consultation, technical support and review. Examples of the department's strategies and services regarding addressing this new role appear below. \nORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES The department, to definitively \nsatisfy the needs and expectations of agencies resulting from S.B. 635, is adopting an organizational design and reconfiguring its services so it can become increasingly responsive and flexible in the wake ofthese and other continuing changes in the state's personnel administration environment. The structure chosen is intended to meet the goals of responsiveness and flexibility to changes in customer needs, while providing the types of customized services and technical assistance necessary to aid agencies in achieving their business objectives. The Compensation and Staffing Division, created in F.Y. 1997 by merging 2 divisions, now consists of 8 units. These units are Recruitment and Job Counseling, Qualifications Development and Evaluation, Written Exam Research and Development, Exam Administration, Customer Interface Team, Labor Market Analysis, \n \nCompensation, and Technical Support. These units offer interested agencies services in a number of areas including assisting in developing job recruitment literature, posting job vacancies, conducting initial screening interviews, reviewing job classification and compensation, determining and reviewing the qualifications necessary for jobs, and developing and validating employee and applicant tests. \nOther divisions have been combined as well to lessen the department's number of administrative levels. The Health Benefit Services and Flexible Benefits divisions have been merged to form the Employee Benefits Division. The Accounting \u0026 Audits and Administration \u0026 Systems divisions have been combined to create the Internal Administration Division. \nNEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT \nThe Merit System, as an outgrowth of S.B. 635, has made new product development one of its major strategic goals. These new products and services will range from customized products created at an agency's request to development and implementation of statewide initiatives such as the GeorgiaGain performance management system. Among the new products currently being developed are training courses which educate managers and employees on the principles of continuous quality improvement, implementation of the \"discipline without punishment\" approach to employee management, and introduction of a software package (Performance Management Tools) to assist managers in planning and evaluating employee performance more efficiently and thoroughly. The department is working closely with state managers in perfecting these and other products and services. The training courses mentioned are in support of the Quality Service Georgia statewide initiative, whereas \n \nthe \"discipline without punishment\" policy project evolved from certain state agencies desiring an alternative approach to the present practices used to discipline employees. \n \nAPPLICATION OF \n \nTECHNOLOGY \n \nThe Merit System, searching for \n \nfaster, more efficient means of \n \nperforming and delivering its \n \nproducts and services, is broadening \n \nits use and application of technology \n \nwherever possible. The Training and \n \nOrganizational \n \nDevelopment \n \nDivision, through the help of grants \n \nfrom the Georgia Statewide \n \nAcademic and Medical System \n \ncommunications network, is using \n \nteledistance/teleconferencing tech- \n \nnology to conduct training \n \nconferences and seminars in an \n \nattempt to effectively and efficiently \n \nmake these offerings conveniently \n \navailable to a greater number of state \n \nemployees throughout the state. In \n \nThe department has opened a site on \n \nthe World Wide Web to provide \n \ngeneral and job-specific information \n \nto any applicant or interested party \n \nhaving access to the internet. On-line \n \naccess to reference information and \n \ndocuments regarding personnel \n \npractice models and standards, State \n \nPersonnel Board rules and other items \n \nis also available to the public on the \n \ndepartment's website. \n \nELECTRONIC APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM \nIn F.Y. 1999, the department plans to develop and implement an electronic recruitment, applicant tracking and hiring system which will be designed to readily furnish information to job candidates, hiring managers and agency human resource staff. The system would allow prospective job candidates to review a comprehensive listing of state agency job openings and apply on-line if desired. Applicant information will be stored in a central database and matched against future job openings for which the applicant may be \n \n398 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Strategies and Services \n \neligible. Agencies will be able to directly post and update job listings, and analyze and screen information from the applicant database for filling job openings and conducting workforce planning. The department anticipates several benefits from this system including substantially improved access to information for job candidates, agency managers and agency human resource staff; reduced paperwork due to the greater degree of automation this system offers; faster completion time regarding applicant and agency requests; and elimination of duplicate personnel databases on state government. \nCHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM \nThe Governor's recommendation for F.Y. 1999 includes funding to implement the new Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This new program was recently created under Title XXI of the Social Security Act and was authorized by Congress in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. As proposed, Georgia's new CHIP plan will provide access to health care coverage for an estimated 229,000 children age 18 and under currently without health insurance. Under the new plan, Medicaid will be expanded to cover pregnant women and children from birth through age 5 up to 200% of the federal poverty level. In addition, children ages 6 through 18 up to 200% of the federal poverty level will be eligible for private insurance plans administered through the State Merit System. Finally, all children in families above 200% of the federal poverty level who are uninsured will be allowed to buy into the private health insurance at full cost. \nBy using the combination of both a Medicaid expansion and a private insurance package, Georgia's plan \n \nApplicant Information Contacts and Applications \n266,443 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \n(est.) \n \nFiscal Years \n \nencompasses the \"best of both worlds.\" By using Medicaid, our youngest citizens would have access to an established and comprehensive benefit package for their first full 5 years of life. At the same time, by developing a private insurance plan for 6 to 18 year olds, a plan can be designed that is flexible and focuses on dental, vision and other preventive services - all the critical things that school-age children especially need to be healthy and able to learn. \nGeorgia's implementation of Title XXI will require the coordination of two state agencies the Department of Medical Assistance and the State Merit System. The Department of Medical Assistance will be responsible for the Medicaid \n \nexpansion. The State Merit System will be responsible for the overall administration of the privatized portion of the program, given their history and track record on managing health plans for over 500,000 employees, teachers and dependents statewide. The State Merit System's role in the new CHIP program will be to develop RFPs, contract with health plans and a third party administrator to put together the private insurance plans, and monitor plan enrollees. \n \n399 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nSTATE EMPLOYEE HIRING,PAY AND TRAINING \n \nPURPOSE: Assist state agencies in recruiting, developing and retaining productive employees. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nEnhance state agency work force productivity by recruiting high quality applicants. \n \nEighty-five percent of hiring managers will rate applicants as qualified or well qualified. \n \nEighty-five percent ofnewly hired employees will receive a rating of \"meets expectations\" or better on their initial performance evaluation. \n \nAugment the ability of state agencies to identify and retain high performing employees. \n \nEighty-five percent of state agency personnel staff and managers rate the consulting and technical assistance received from the Merit System as effective or highly effective in helping the requesting agency meet its business objectives. \n \nProvide training classes, and human resource and organization development services which will encourage growth in state employee and organization perfonnance, and enable agencies to develop the ability intemally to meet their human resource and organization needs and obj ectives. \n \nEighty-five percent of surveyed employees attending training indicate that productivity improved because of skills and knowledge acquired through Merit System training classes. \nEighty-five percent of surveyed managers indicate that employee productivity improved because of skills and knowledge employees acquired through Merit System training classes. \n \nEighty-five percent of organizations receiving distance learning, training, human resource development, organization development or other related services are satisfied these services meet these organizations' objectives. \n \nEMPLOYEE BENEFITS \n \nPURPOSE: Recruit and retain quality state employees by offering attractive employee benefits while minimizing employer and employee costs. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nOffer employee benefits that minimize tax liability and cost for both employer and employee. \n \nMinimize payroll taxes on employer and employee benefit plan contributions by maintaining tax favored status on all eligible benefit plans. \n \nAverage employee group rates will be below rates available to individuals. \n \nEffectively manage a deferred investment plan for employees wishing to be able to supplement their pension income when they retire. \n \nInvestment choices available through the deferred investment plan will perform comparably or better than the appropriatfe reference investment indices. \n \nDesign and offer employee benefits that employees perceive as a good value and with which they are satisfied. \n \nEighty-five percent of surveyed employees rate the health benefit plan, flexible benefit plan and deferred compensation plan a good value in terms of the products and services they offer. \n \n400 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nEighty-five percent of surveyed employees express satisfaction with the health benefit plan, flexible benefit plan and deferred compensation plan. \n \nCHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM \n \nPURPOSE: To provide health care covemge to uninsured children. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nIdentify and enroll uninsured children age 6 through 18 in private health insurance plans. \n \nAt least 40% of children identified as uninsured will be enrolled in the program in the first year to establish the baseline.

Provide $20,000,000 in bonds for the Governor's River Care 2000 Program, including $15 million for land purchases in the Chattahoochee River corridor. 2. Provide electrical service to Ossabaw Island by installing a submarine cable from the mainland in Chatham County. 3. Add state funds to match federal funds for trail construction and improvements at Brasstown Trek, Tallulah Gorge and High Fall State Park. 4. Provide $655,000 in bonds for the Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority to improve traffic flow and enhance existing facilities and walkways. 5. Provide $46,000,000 in bonds for the West Georgia Regional Reservoir. These funds are for planning and design, land acquisition, site preparation and construction. Wetlands and cultural resources mitigation expenses are not included in this amount since these costs can best be detennined after the appropriate pennits are issued. The Governor recommends that the bonds for the West Georgia Regional Reservoir not be sold until all necessary pennits are issued by the appropriate federal, state and local authorities for the construction and operation of the reservoir. The West Georgia Regional Reservoir and its operation will not be in conflict with the water allocation fonnula of the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River Basin Compact and the completion or tennination ofthe Comprehensive Study undertaken by the Governors of Georgia, Alabama and Florida and a representative of the U.S. Department of the Anny in January 1992. G.O. bond funds appropriated for this project in prior years include $1.5 million in 1991 for design and engineering and $5.5 million in 1993 for land survey and land acquisition costs. \n \nSee G.O.

These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws. \nBoth the Commissioner's Office and the Program Support Division provide administrative support for the entire department. Six separate and distinct divisions provide services to the citizens of Georgia. \n \nPARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the \ncitizens of Georgia through the development and operation of 48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted over 13.5 million visitors during F.Y. 1997. The division manages over 72,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps and golf courses. \n \nWILDLIFE RESOURCES \n \nThe division manages lands and freshwater habitat for \n \npublic hunting, fishing and educational purposes and \n \npromotes the conservation and wise use of game and \n \nnongame wildlife resources. \n \nAll state laws and \n \ndepartmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery \n \nresources, wild animals, boating safety and hunter safety \n \nare enforced by the law enforcement section. The division \n \nmanages Public Fishing Areas, Wildlife Management Areas \n \nand produces over 14 million fish each year in nine state \n \nhatcheries which are used to stock public waters and farm \n \nponds. \n \nCOASTAL RESOURCES The division's primary objectives are to ensure the \noptimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species. \n \nENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main \nobjective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste and hazardous waste laws, rules and regulations. These objectives are accomplished through a permitting process coupled \n \nwith monitoring, inspection, investigation and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund. \n \nHISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services \nand assistance to governmental agencies, private organizations and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register of Historic Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters and other preservation programs. \n \nPOLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed \nto serve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in finding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water and air pollution problems through preventive measures. \n \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes \namateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games. \nThe State Boxing Commission sanctions professional boxing matches held in Georgia. \nThe Civil War Commission encourages preservation of Civil War sites and promotes tourism to these sites. \nThe Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority is responsible for managing through contract the development and operation of tourist, convention and recreational areas and facilities on the islands. \nThe Jekyll Island-State Park Authority is responsible for the development and operation of tourist, convention and recreational areas and facilities on the island. \nThe Stone Mountain Memorial Association is responsible for managing through contract the operation of tourist, convention and recreational areas and facilities at the mountain. \nThe Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority promotes, develops and serves agriculture and agricultural business interests of the state, produces and operates the Georgia National Fair, and encourages the agricultural accomplishments of Georgia's youth. \n \nAUTHORITY \n \n. \n \nTitles 8, 12, 16,27,31,43,44 and 52, Official Code of \n \nGeorgia Annotated and Public Laws 92-500, 93-523, 88- \n \n206, 94-580. \n \n412 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES \nStrategies and Services \n \nGeorgia is geographically the largest state east of the Mississippi River and is blessed with great scenic beauty and many outstanding natural and historic resources, which are enjoyed by the state's citizens and tourists alike. As the population grows, demands on Georgia's natural resources increase, making it essential that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continue its obligation to protect, preserve and manage these resources for present and future generations. \nGeorgia is rich in surface water resources with over 70,000 miles of streams, 425,582 acres of public lakes and reservoirs, 854 square miles of estuaries and 100 miles of coastline. These waters support a wide range of recreational and industrial uses for Georgians and provide habitats for a variety of aquatic life. Governor Miller's budget provides funds for several projects relating to water quality and water management to ensure an adequate supply of clean water for Georgians .now, and well into the future. \nGeorgia's air meets national standards for all pollutants except ozone. The 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area has been declared an \"ozone non-attainment area\" under the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Governor Miller's budget initiates a number of programs that will put state government in the forefront in improving the quality of air in the metropolitan Atlanta area. \nGovernor Miller has shown his strong commitment to ensuring a high quality of life through his balanced approach to the protection of the environment and proper management of the state's water, air and land, while at the same time sustaining a growing population and economy. DNR manages many of the programs that serve the public and protect the environment. \n \nWATER QUALITY The State Environmental \nProtection Division (EPD) of DNR serves as the state's regulatory agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal environmental standards relating to water, air and land. Governor Miller recommends $811,853 for personal services and operating expenses for 26 additional positions for EPD to enhance the division's environmental permitting, enforcement and monitoring programs relating to water quality and water quantity management. In addition, the Governor recommends shifting the fund source for 7 current positions from state funds to the new federal drinking water funds, and does not recommend reducing the number of authorized positions for EPD under the redirection budget. \nA Federal Court issued a ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV that said that Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) must be developed for state waters within an 8-year time frame. TMDLs are discharge load limits that will have to be developed very carefully for our streams using as much high quality field data as possible so the limits accurately reflect the wastewater treatment level needed to protect the stream. \nTo comply with the Court's ruling and to help with this environmental problem, Governor Miller recommended $1,368,000 in F.Y. 1998 to begin the TMDL development process and has recommended a continuation of the same level of funding in F.Y. 1999. \nWATER MANAGEMENT Coastal Groundwater Study \nThe Floridian Aquifer supplies most of the water used by citizens, local governments, agriculture and industry in 24 counties in southeast Georgia. The current level of water usage in this area is contributing to existing saltwater intrusion in the Brunswick area and the potential of saltwater intrusion in Savannah. The economic \n \nwell being of coastal Georgia depends \n \non maintaining the capability to use \n \nthis aquifer to support future \n \ndevelopment in this region of the \n \nstate. \n \nUnderstanding groundwater is a \n \ndifficult and expensive undertaking \n \nand solid scientific data and water \n \nmanagement strategies must be \n \ndeveloped. State support for the \n \ndevelopment and implementation of a \n \ncomprehensive management plan is \n \nnecessary to allow for the sustainable \n \nuse of this valuable resource for the \n \nfuture and to provide adequate \n \nprotection for coastal groundwater \n \nresources. \n \nThe Governor \n \nrecommends initiating an eight-year \n \nproject in F.Y. 1999 with $2,000,000 \n \nin state funds to be matched with \n \n$500,000 from paper companies. \n \nThese funds will be used to begin \n \ncollection of the scientific data \n \nneeded to fully understand the aquifer \n \nand to develop an appropriate \n \nmanagement plan to protect coastal \n \ngroundwater. The 8 year project will \n \ncost an estimated $14 million \n \nSouthwest Georgia Ground- \n \nwater Study Georgia, Florida and \n \nAlabama are working together to \n \nmanage shared water resources. In \n \norder to determine water budgets and \n \nflow rates, it is necessary to evaluate \n \nthe impact of Lake Seminole on the \n \nground and surface water in \n \nsouthwest Georgia. A 3-year project, \n \nconducted jointly with the U.S. \n \nGeologic Survey, is necessary to \n \ndetermine whether there is leakage \n \nthrough the bottom of Lake Seminole \n \nand, if so, to quantify the amount. \n \nThe Governor recommends $225,000 \n \nin F.Y. 1999 to initiate this project \n \nwhich is crucial to protect Georgia's \n \nfuture water rights. \n \nAgricultural Water Use Study \n \nAlthough agriculture is the largest \n \nuser of groundwater in Georgia, there \n \nare no reporting requirements under \n \nthe agricultural water use permitting \n \nprocess. In order to develop a \n \nstrategy to protect coastal Georgia \n \nfrom saltwater intrusion and to \n \ndevelop a water allocation formula for \n \n413 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia, Florida and Alabama, EPD must have reliable agricultural water use information. Rather than impose a cumbersome reporting requirement on all farmers with water withdrawal permits, meters installed on a small, statistically valid sample of farms will provide EPD with a statistically reliable estimate of agriculture water use that can be used for water resource management. The Governor recommends $250,000 to initiate this 5-year study in F.Y. 1999. \nAIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY \nThe failure of the 13-county metropolitan Atlanta area to meet mandatory federal air quality standards threatens the health of Georgians, and will result in stiff restrictions and regulations on businesses in the state. A continued failure to meet federal air quality standards will jeopardize federal funding for Georgia and seriously impact the state's future economic growth and development. \nGovernor Miller proposes several programs to reduce air pollution in the Atlanta area. His strategy includes programs to reduce the number of cars on the roads by encouraging carpooling and providing commuter rail and inter-city rail service; increasing in the number of alternative fuel vehicles in operation in Atlanta by incorporating them into the state motor vehicle fleet and providing tax credits to private citizens and businesses who lease, purchase or convert a vehicle to lowemission fuel; and by supporting the tougher new emission tests by helping inspection station owners buy the expensive equipment necessary to test older vehicles. \nGovernor Miller proposes a $6 million program in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget to enhance the vehicle emission inspection program for the metro Atlanta area now that all vehicles are required to meet tougher standards. Building on the existing program, all testing is done by private businesses (service stations, independent test stations, auto \n \nmaintenance shops) that choose to participate. The cost of new equipment to test older vehicles will be $25,000 to $30,000 per site at a minimum. To insure that an adequate number of test sites have the required equipment, an incentive program has been implemented to increase the amount of the fee retained by sites using the new equipment. Test sites with the new equipment will, during the fIrst year of the program, retain an additional $6.30 of the $25 vehicle inspection fee. This will leave management and administrative expenses unfunded. The Governor recommends $6,000,000 in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget to cover these expenses. EPD projects that just under a million vehicles will be inspected under the inspection and maintenance incentive program. \nDuring the 1996 Olympics, the downtown Atlanta area experienced lower than predicted ozone levels attributable in part to the dramatic shift in vehicle traffIc patterns and an overall reduction in vehicles on the road during critical ozone producing hours. In order to build on this success, a Voluntary Ozone Action Program (VOAP) is proposed. Under the VOAP, EPD will partner with businesses, governments, universities and others in the metro Atlanta area to develop voluntary emission-reduction plans (like those adopted during the Olympics) which can be implemented on days with projected high ozone levels. The Governor recommends $1,000,000 in F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget to fully implement the Volunteer Ozone Action Program which will include a major public education campaign as well as enhanced air monitoring capabilities in order to more accurately project daily ozone levels in Atlanta. \nRIVER CARE 2000 Recognizing that Georgia must \nhave healthy rivers if the state's residents and visitors are to continue enjoying a high quality of life, Governor Miller announced in 1995 his intention to establish the River Care 2000 Program. The guiding \n414 \n \nprinciple of River Care 2000 is to \n \nshare with the state's citizens the \n \nGovernor's appreciation and deep \n \nregard for the importance of Georgia's \n \n70,000 miles of rivers and streams. \n \nPrograms implemented by \n \ngovernments, industries, farmers, \n \nforesters and others have greatly \n \nimproved the water quality of the \n \nstate's rivers over the past 20 years. \n \nUnfortunately, Georgia's rivers still \n \nface signifIcant challenges: control of \n \npolluting storm-water runoff; erosion \n \nand subsequent sedimentation from \n \nland disturbing activity; destruction of \n \nhistoric and pre-historic resources \n \nfrom development; restriction on \n \npublic access to rivers for recreational \n \nuse; and unwise development of \n \nflood-prone areas. River Care 2000 is \n \na conservation program, which will \n \nmeet these challenges by enabling the \n \nstate to control and manage its rivers \n \nin an environmentally conscious \n \nmanner. \n \nThe state works with the private \n \nsector to acquire and protect river \n \ncorridor property. The Nature \n \nConservancy, The Conservation \n \nFund, The Trust for Public Land and \n \nThe Archaeological Conservancy are \n \nthe major private, non-profIt fIrms in \n \nGeorgia which acquire land for \n \nconservation purposes. \n \nThey \n \nnegotiate, on the state's behalf, \n \nimportant tracts on rivers where they \n \nhave expertise. The department also \n \ndirectly negotiates and acquires river \n \ncorridor projects. \n \nRiver Care 2000 acquisition \n \nfunds through F.Y. 1998 include $20 \n \nmillion in state bond funds for this \n \nprogram plus $3.4 million in \n \nremaining Preservation 2000 bonds, \n \n$1.2 million in federal matching \n \nfunds from the U.S. Environmental \n \nProtection Agency and $1 million in \n \nprivate donations. Ten million has \n \nbeen committed under this program \n \nwith $400,000 set aside for options \n \nthat have been presented. Another \n \n$17.3 million is designated for \n \nprojects under review for which \n \noptions have not yet been offered. \n \nThe Governor's F.Y. 1999 budget \n \nrecommendation includes an \n \nadditional $20 million in G.O. bonds \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nfor River Care 2000, including $15 million for land purchases in the \nCh,attahoochee River corridor. \nPRESERVATION 2000 Governor Miller established the \nPr~servation 2000 Program in 1991 in an effort to preserve Georgia's natural beauty for future generations. The Governor's goal was to acquire and protect 100,000 acres of natural and environmentally sensitive land. Unaltered, old-growth forests and wetlands, including river bottom hardwood forests, bays and other naturally occurring water features were priority acquisitions under the program. \nThis program was very successful and in May of 1996 Governor Miller's goal of acquiring 100,000 acres during his administration was reached. Total funding for Preservation 2000 totaled $69.7 million, of which $65 million was general obligation bonds. Approximately $52 million of these bonds are being retired with funds collected from an increase in hunting and fishing license fees and boat registration fees authorized in F.Y. 1992. General tax revenues are retiring the other $13 million. The remaining $4.7 million for land acquisition is from $3.3 million in other state and federal funds and about $1.4 million in private gifts of cash. Gifts of land have been made with a total value of over $54 million, making the total Preservation 2000 program a $125,000,000 endeavor. \nTRUST FUNDS In 1992, Governor Miller \ninitiated 2 very significant environmental protection trust funds used for hazardous waste and scrap tire clean-ups. Combined, these 2 trust funds have had a tremendous impact in funding programs devoted to the protection and maintenance of Georgia's land and water resources. \nThe provisions of Georgia's Hazardous Sites Response Act encourage voluntary clean up of contaminated sites by responsible parties. The state's Annual Hazardous \n \nSite Inventory list includes 375 sites. Of these sites, 150 will be cleaned up by responsible parties. The remaining 225 sites which consists of 100 privately-owned abandoned sites and 125 state and local government sites will be cleaned up with the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund (HWTF). Since 1992, EPD has initiated $40 million in state-funded investigations and clean-ups at over 80 sites completing 49. Ten percent of the HWTF receipts are utilized to reduce hazardous waste at the source through various pollution prevention methods. Governor Miller recommends $7,895,077 for the HWTF in F.Y. 1999 based on projected collections. \nIn 1992, the growing number of scrap tires throughout the state prompted the legislature to amend the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act to include the management of scrap tires. At that time there were approximately 8 million illegally dumped tires in piles ranging from 200 to 3,000,000 tires. EPD has addressed this problem by using the Solid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF) for the clean-up of existing dumps, and providing grants to reimburse local governments that clean-up dumps within their jurisdictions. Under the second approach, grants are offered to local governments for the development and implementation of waste management and educational programs. The SWTF is funded from a $1 per tire fee charged to consumers and collected by retailers. As of September 1997, over $27 million has been collected from the assessed fee. For F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller is recommends $6,132,574 for the Solid Waste Trust Fund based on projected collections. \nLAW ENFORCEMENT The Law Enforcement Section of \nDNR administers the state's hunter education and boating safety programs. Conservation Rangers are responsible for enforcing laws and regulations pertaining to game and nongame animals, threatened and endangered species and exotic animals. They also rescue lost or \n415 \n \ninjured persons and investigate hunting and boating accidents and violations of wildlife laws. The Governor recommends enhancing the department's capabilities in the law enforcement area with the addition of 20 new ranger positions in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget at a cost of $900,763. The F.Y. 1999 Budget provides $1,083,367 for the annual cost of these new positions. \nGeorgia continues to experience considerable growth in recreational boating with over 306,000 boats now registered in the state, including 25,000 jet skis. Boating accidents continue to seriously injure or kill many Georgians each year. The Governor recommends that 8 of the new ranger positions be assigned to locations throughout the state where they can be used to increase safety patrols on major reservoirs and rivers, and on coastal waters. \nThe Governor also recommends that 7 of the new positions serve as Safety Education Officers to coordinate hunter and boating safety education programs throughout the state. One ranger will be assigned to each of DNR's 7 law enforcement district offices. The department currently conducts hunter education programs for over 20,000 people each year, provides instructors for voluntary boating safety courses and conducts conservation and safety education programs in public schools. These positions will greatly improve the quality of DNR's conservation and safety education programs throughout the state. \nIn order to protect Georgia's natural resources, it is necessary to conduct long-term surveillance operations and covert investigations. These type operations often last for weeks or months and are used on cases involving the sale or destruction of endangered or protected species, digging of archeological sites, sale of artifacts and illegal shrimping in Georgia waters. To improve DNR's ability to reduce these hard to detect crimes that often have a major impact on our natural resources, the Governor recommends that the \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nremammg 5 new ranger positions serve as wildlife investigators. \nPRIVATlZATlON INITIATIVES DNR has begun a review of all \nits operational areas looking for opportunities to privatize facilities and services in order to increase efficiency or reduce costs. The first area reviewed was golf course operations with the assistance of Golf Resources Associates, Inc. The agency adopted the independent report by Golf Resources, which recommended that only the course maintenance function be privatized. ISS Landscape Management Services was awarded a contract in early 1997 to assume responsibility for golf course maintenance at George T. Bagby State Park and Hard Labor Creek State Park. Georgia Veterans Golf Course was added to the maintenance contract in October 1997. At these golf courses, the contractor is responsible for maintaining all the green areas (fairways, greens, and driving ranges) and is required to provide the equipment to perform these functions. The contract includes performance criteria that must be met to continue the contractual arrangement. \nThe department is also privatizing the lodges, along with camping and cottage operations at Amicalola Falls, Unicoi and Red Top Mountain state parks. A management agreement has been entered into with AmFac, a Colorado company awarded the contract through a competitive bid process. AmFac has \n \nagreed to invest at least $2 million in capital improvements to renovate cottages and lodge facilities within the first year of operation. The Conference Center at Georgia Veterans State Park is another of the agency's privatization initiative and will be operated by Private Club Associates (PCA). PCA will consider constructing an 80-room lodging facility adjacent to the conference center. The privatization of these facilities will allow the department to concentrate its resources on the dayuse areas as well as the preservation of natural resources at these parks. \nIn addition to privatization initiatives within DNR, 2 other major state recreational complexes are converting to private management. In 1997, negotiations were completed between the Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority and KSL, and operations of this state-owned facility were turned over to the private vendor in August 1997. In December 1997, agreement was reached between the Stone Mountain Memorial Park Authority and private companies to tum over operations within the park to Silver Dollar City, Inc. in early 1998. \nGEORGIA AGRICULTURAL EXPOSITION AUTHORITY \nThe Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority continues to be successful in decreasing its dependency on the state while increasing its budget through nonstate revenue each year. The F.Y. 1999 recommendation maintains the \n \nstate funding level for the authority at roughly $2 million while the total operating budget increases by over $400,000 from $5,590,902 in F.Y. 1998 to $5,920,524 in F.Y. 1999. This increase in the non-state revenues that sustain the authority is primarily due to the rising revenue stream of the Georgia National Fair held each October. From F.Y. 1993 to F.Y. 1998, fair revenues grew 89% to $2,352,559. This large influx of cash, which has exceeded budgeted expectations each year, has allowed the authority to maintain a large cash reserve of $600,000 which is 10.6 % of the budget in F.Y. 1997. In fact, based on net revenue growth to date in F.Y. 1998, reserves could exceed $900,000 by the end ofF.Y. 1998. \nFor F.Y. 1999, the authority is taking steps to strengthen its strategic planning process. A cost-accounting mechanism will be developed to determine the profitability of all authority events. This mechanism will improve the process of selecting which events to host. A visitor satisfaction rating mechanism will be implemented to establish satisfaction levels for all events and introduce benchmarks for future comparison.

The department provides a safe environment by enforcing traffic and criminal laws, investigating accidents, and encouraging safe driving practices. The agency regulates drivers to ensure minimum safety standards, knowledge and driving skills are met. The department's troopers work to reduce accidents and injuries by discouraging speeding, encouraging seat belt use, and by stopping drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They also provide law enforcement assistance and emergency response to the public and criminal justice community. \nA staff of 1,897 employees (including 889 sworn positions), support the operations of the Department of Public Safety's - Budget Unit A. DPS also has 6 agencies in Budget Unit B attached for administrative purposes. The 3 functional budgets which comprise Budget Unit A are: \nADMINISTRATION The administrative and management direction for the \nDepartment of Public Safety, including the coordination and support services of the 6 attached agencies, are provided by this function. \nDRIVER SERVICES The issuance of driver's licenses, permits and the \nadministratk'll of the commercial driver's license program are carried out by the Driver Services function at 55 license facilities and 29 renewal stations throughout the state. Additional responsibilities include suspension and reinstatement of driver's licenses and school bus safety program certification and inspection. \nFIELD OPERATIONS More commonly known as the State Patrol, this \nfunction is responsible for accident control, traffic and speed enforcement, drug interdiction, and protection of the public roads and highways. To carry out its duties, the State Patrol operates 48 patrol posts and 7 aviation hangers statewide. \n \nATTACHED AGENCIES The following 6 attached agencies, including 162 \nauthorized positions, comprise Budget Unit B: The Georgia Public Safety Training Center provides \ninstruction and support services for the training of state and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, correctional officers and emergency personnel. \nThe Georgia Police Academy conducts mandated basic training for state law enforcement agencies. The academy also provides advanced and specialized training to improve the knowledge, skills and performance of law enforcement officers. \nThe Georgia Fire Academy is primarily responsible for providing training to full-time, volunteer and industrial firefighters in Georgia. Emergency medical, rescue and hazardous materials training for firefighters and other emergency services personnel are also provided by the Fire Academy. \nThe Firefighter Standards and Training Council is responsible for establishing uniform standards for the employment and training of firefighters. Additionally, the council establishes curriculum requirements and approves schools and facilities for the purpose of fire training. \nThe Peace Officer Standards and Training Council is responsible for improving law enforcement in the state by enforcing legislatively established standards for the employment and training of peace officers. The citizens of Georgia can be assured the adequate protection of persons and property through the establishment of minimum standards and professionalism developed and supported by law enforcement training. \nThe Governor's Office of Highway Safety is responsible for the development and administration of statewide highway safety programs. The agency coordinates programs funded through federal highway grants designed to reduce the number of highway deaths and to promote safety. \nAUTHORITY Title 25, 35 and 40 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated; Georgia Laws 1980, Act 875 and Act 866. \n \n431 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Public Safety \n \n(DPS) is responsible for protecting \n \nthe lives of Georgia's citizens by \n \nmaking the state's highways safer. As \n \nthe largest law enforcement agency in \n \nthe State of Georgia, the department \n \nis involved in regulating drivers, \n \nenforcing traffic and criminal laws, \n \nand promoting safe driving practices. \n \nIn F.Y. 1997, the department's \n \ntroopers made nearly 12,000 \n \ninterstate arrests, investigated 32,000 \n \naccidents, and made over 21,000 DUI \n \narrests. \n \nThese efforts have \n \ncontributed to saving lives and \n \ndecreasing the number of crashes and \n \ninjuries in Georgia. \n \nIn F.Y. 1999, the Governor has \n \ncontinued his support for the \n \ndepartment's efforts to increase the \n \nsafety of the state's highways by \n \nincreasing concentrated enforcement \n \nin troubled areas. \n \nHIGHWAY SAFETY \n \nThe department's highway safety \n \nprogram consists of the following \n \nfunctions which are performed by the \n \nGeorgia State Patrol: \n \n Speed Limit Enforcement--The \n \ndepartment wrote more than 275,000 \n \ncitations for speeding in F.Y. 1997 as \n \npart of its ongoing effort to reduce \n \nhighway speed and save lives. \n \nFurther, the department implemented \n \nan intensive speed enforcement \n \nprogram, known as Operation \n \nHardnose, designed to target problem \n \ndrivers in the Atlanta area. Operation \n \nHardnose consists of 50 troopers in \n \nconcentrated patrols on metro \n \ninterstates and has resulted in \n \nthousands of tickets and warnings \n \nbeing issued. \n \nBecause of the success of \n \nOperation Hardnose, the Governor \n \nhas recommended that this program \n \nbe expanded in F. Y. 1998 to other \n \nmetro areas in the state, including \n \nAugusta, Columbus, Macon and \n \nSavannah. \n \n DUI \n \nEnforcement--The \n \ndepartment has initiated several \n \nintensive DUI projects in the past \n \nseveral years, including a 10-trooper \n \ntask force funded by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Targeting DUI drivers is crucial since there was I fatality for every 21 crashes in Georgia involving alcohol or drugs in 1995. DUI related crashes account for 3.8% of crashes but 34% of the fatalities. \n Star GSP--One of the first proactive responses to DUI drivers came in 1994 as the department unveiled a proposal to involve the average citizen in the statewide crackdown on drunk and drug impaired drivers. By dialing *GSP, any driver with a cellular phone may immediately contact the nearest State Patrol Post to report an impaired driver. The program has been very successful, accounting for almost 900 DUI arrests in F.Y. 1997. \n Seat Belt and Child Restraint Enforcement--With the passage of Georgia's primary seat belt enforcement law, the State of Georgia has made a commitment to seat belt enforcement. According to studies, proper use of safety belts and child safety seats can reduce the likelihood death and injury by 40-50%. The department's troopers and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service announcements targeting seat belt usage. In F.Y. 1998, the department implemented operation \"Strap 'N Snap,\" which is focusing on seatbelt and child restraint usage. During the first month of F.Y. 1998, 30,000 citations were written in this operation. \nDRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE The Governor supports the \ndepartment's efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities involving teenage drivers. The leading cause of death in U.S. teenagers is motor vehicle crashes and young drivers experience a disproportionately higher rate of \n \nmotor vehicle crashes than other aged drivers. According to the Office of Highway Safety, 108 of every 100,000 drivers under 18 were involved in a fatal crash. This is 3 times as many traffic deaths as drivers who are 24 years or older. \nYoung drivers are involved in more deadly crashes than other age groups due to a number of factors, including a lack of driving experience, a tendency to drive faster, driving more at night, not wearing \nYoung Drivers in Speed Related Motor Vehicle Crashes in 1995 \n.... 2000 ~-=---------- \n1500 +---....:.;=-.lo=------! \n1000 +---------.......:\u003c-; \n \n0+--....,...----,--.,....-....,...---1 16 17 18 19 20 \n \nAges \n \n___ Crashes \n \nInjury Crashes \n \nseat belts, having more passengers in their vehicles, and not being able to handle the effects of alcohol. \nDuring the 1997 Session, the Legislature passed Governor Miller's new \"graduated\" driver's license law. The law has 3-stages: \n Stage 1 - Age 15: Learner's permit earned after passing knowledge test. This license is valid for 2 years. \n Stage 2 - Age 16-17: A Class \"D\" license is earned after a road test. The law has limits on nighttime driving, seatbelts and passengers. The driver can receive a Class \"C\" license if for 12 months the driver is not convicted of certain crimes. \n Stage 3 - Age 18: Driver earns a Class \"C\" (regular) license, after meeting all requirements. The law also includes strictet standards for DUI and school suspensions. \n \n432 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services \n \nAs part of Governor Miller's directive to improve service at overcrowded driver's license facitities, the department opened 5 more license renewal sites in 1996. Combined with the 25 previously opened, these 29 service-oriented facilities renewed over 450,000 driver's licenses in F.Y. 1997. In the F.Y. 1999, the Governor has recommended opening 3 additional renewal sites to assist with long lines in congested areas. \nAnother step to improve service is the introduction of computerized digital imaging license issuance in the fall of 1996. Digital imaging makes it possible for the department to issue a renewal driver's license inunediately, rather than 45 days. A digital imaging system does not require film or a camera; instead, the image is captured by a computer using a video camera and printed using a color printer. Over-the-counter instant issuance has significantly improved the efficiency and quality of service. \nDRUG INTERDICTION The nature of the job performed \nby a trooper has changed significantly over the last decade. Georgia State Patrol Troopers are placing increased emphasis on drug interdiction and eradication, both as a byproduct of normal traffic enforcement, and through involvement in state and federal task forces. An example of one of these task forces is the Governor's Task Force on Drug Eradication, which is supported by the State Patrol and its aviation unit. In F.Y. 1997, GSP troopers and pilots seized over $450,000 in currency, more than 20 kilos of cocaine, and more than 600 pounds of marijuana. The department has added 2 programs to its drug interdiction. The Indoor Marijuana Growth Task Force is funded through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. This program has added to the number of seizures the department has had. The department also developed a K-9 program of drug detection dogs to assist with seizure efforts. \n \nTRAINING The State of Georgia has almost \n42,000 peace officers in approximately 950 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed 384-hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of in-service training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter Standards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center. \n \nIn F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends $350,863 for the Public Safety Training Center and Police Academy to coordinate with the 10 regional and 3 departmental academies to develop a \"Judgmental Use of Deadly Force\" basic training course. This course adds 16 hours to the basic course. The emphasis of the course will be family violence, crime victim services, cultural diversity, terrorism, gangs and elder abuse. The course will focus around simulation training (\"shoot-don't shoot\" situations) rather than \"live fire\". \n \n37% Increase in the Number of Active Law Enforcement Officers \n \n50,000 \n \n40,000 \n \n30,000 \n \n20,000 \n \n10,000 \n \no \n \n1992 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n21 % Increase in the Number of Law Enforcement Agencies \n952 1000 \n \n800 \n \n600 \n \n400 \n \n200 \n \no \n \n1992 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n433 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nDRIVER'S SERVICES \n \nPURPOSE: Improve the quality of driving in Georgia through the regulation (licensure, suspension, revocation and reinstatement of licenses) of individuals as being capable and deserving of the privilege to drive. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nPerform licensing function in an efficient, cost-effective and customer-oriented manner. \n \nIn response to a customer satisfaction survey of individuals receiving their license, an average score of 65 will be maintained with no month below 60. \n \nAll local courts will be part of a statewide court automation program (electronic transfer of citations.) \n \nIncrease local courts' participation in the citation automation program to 50% and by 10% each successive year. \n \nTRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Provide the citizens of Georgia with safe highways and roads through the enforcement of motor vehicle laws. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nIncrease the safety of motor vehicle occupants by increasing the usage of motor vehicle occupancy restraints. \n \nIncrease the use of motor vehicle occupant restraints from 62.1% to 75%. \n \nEnsure children's safety while traveling on school buses, by preventing children's injuries as a result of school bus driver error. \n \nNo children will be injured as a result of driver error or poor driver judgement. \n \nReduce the number of drivers violating traffic laws while traveling the roadways ofthe state. \n \nReduce motor vehicle crash fatalities caused by alcohol or drugs by 3% from 508 to 493. \n \nReduce motor vehicle crash fatalities caused by excessive speed by 3% from 376 to 365. \n \nReduce the average speed on metro interstates 3% from 69.8 to 67.7 miles per hour. \n \n434 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY Attached Agencies \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nGEORGIA PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING COUNCIL \n \nPEACE OFFICER CERTIFICATION, REGULATION AND TRAINING STANDARDS \n \nPURPOSE: Establish and regulate certification and training standards for peace officers, individually and collectively, to ensure the highest degree of professional conduct in public service. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nEnsure all peace officers and other criminal justice professionals meet and maintain certification and training standards. \n \nProcess applications for certification of peace officers and communications officers and issue Basic Course Authorization Forms within 5 working days for complete and correct applications.

The commission ensures that consumers receive adequate and reliable service at reasonable rates. At the same time, however, the commission must provide regul~ted companies the opportunity to earn a fair return on their investments. \nThe Public Service Commission is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency consisting of a 5-member board of commissioners elected by statewide general election for a 6-year term. The agency also has a staff of engineers, auditors, analysts, inspectors, enforcement officers and others who perform a variety of technical, enforcement and administrative duties. The commission is organized into 3 divisions: the Transportation Division, the Utilities Division and the Administrative Division. The Administrative Division handles support and coordination services for the entire commission. \nJURISDICTION The Public Service Commission has jurisdiction over \nthe following services: Transportation--Railroads, commercial transport of \npersons or property on state highways (not including school buses, taxicabs, buses, tow trucks, and several others), dock or wharfage companies, terminal station companies and miscellaneous others. \nUtilities--Gas and electric light and power companies, natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution facilities, telephone and telegraph companies, and for-hire radio communications and dispatch systems. \nThese industries must abide by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Public Service Commission and must request approval for any changes in the rates, types or quality of services provided. \n \nTRANSPORTATION In its regulation of the transportation industry, the \ncommission strives to provide a viable and safe motor and rail transportation system for the benefit of the public. The commission's Transportation Division enforces state and federal laws and regulations governing the operation of trucks, buses and other regulated motor carriers. The division inspects maintenance and driver's records, enforces safety standards, checks insurance requirements and investigates complaints about service or rates. \nUTILITIES In regulating public utilities, the commission exercises \njurisdiction over the rates and types of service most of Georgia's citizens receive. The commission oversees the safety and maintenance of 500 miles of natural gas transmission lines and over 20,000 miles of distribution lines that transport over one-third of the state's energy supply to 2 million gas customers. \nRegulated public utility companies are required to keep the commission informed of their operations and fmancial status. The commission's Utilities Division audits fmancial reports and analyzes rate filings, fuel recovery cases and other matters filed by regulated gas, electric and telephone companies. \nWhen regulated companies request permission to change rates or services, the commission may conduct hearings and subpoena witnesses to gather evidence regarding the need for any changes. The commission staff prepares background information, conducts fmancial analyses and forecasting, and provides technical assistance to the commissioners. \nAUTHORITY Title 46 of Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n448 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Public Service Commission \n \n(pS!=) has exclusive power to decide \n \nwhat are fair and reasonable rates for \n \nservices under its jurisdiction. With \n \nfew exceptions, the commission \n \ndet~nnines what rates utilities and \n \nother regulated telecommunications \n \nand transportation industries can \n \ncharge, and the service they must \n \nprovide to the public. Therefore, the \n \ncommission's actions affect citizens \n \nevery time they pick up a telephone, \n \nturn on a light or purchase \n \nmerchandise transported by a truck. \n \nThe responsibilities of the Public \n \nService Commission include: \n \n Reviewing requests from \n \nregulated industries to change rates. \n \n Improving the safety of \n \nGeorgia's transportation system and \n \nnatural gas operations. \n \n Providing for long range \n \nplanning to promote efficient use of \n \nenergy resources. \n \n Facilitating competition and \n \nensuring a good quality of service in \n \nthe new natural gas and \n \ntelecommunications \n \ncompetitive \n \nenvironment. \n \n Responding to complaints. \n \nThe scope of jurisdiction and \n \nresponsibilities are changing for the \n \ncommission. In 1995, the General \n \nAssembly passed legislation to \n \nderegulate telecommunications. In \n \n1997, the Legislature passed \n \nlegislation to deregulate the natural \n \ngas industry with the deregulation of \n \nthe electric industry inevitable. By \n \nderegulating these utilities, the \n \nmission of the commission will \n \nchange from a regulator to a supporter \n \nof competition. \n \nIn fulfilling its responsibilities, \n \nthe commission holds hearings on \n \nvarious rate cases, conducts vehicle \n \nsafety inspections and gas safety \n \ninspections, \n \nand \n \nhandles \n \napproximately 3,000 consumer \n \ncomplaints about regulated services. \n \nThe commission is authorized to \n \ninvestigate and gather evidence, issue \n \norders, hear appeals, and institute \n \ncourt proceedings to enforce its \n \ndecisions, rules and regulations. \n \nROADSIDE INSPECTIONS One of the objectives of the \nPublic Service Commission is to improve the safety of the highways to reduce accidents.

Officers also assist at the scene of hazardous materials incidents and conduct follow-up investigations. \nRATE CASES The Public Service Commission \nand its staff review and analyze requests by regulated industries to establish new rates, offer new services, modify existing services or \n \nINTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANS \nSince 1991, Georgia's 2 investorowned electric power companies have been required to file an integrated resource plan (IRP) with the commission at least every 3 years. The purpose of the IRP is to promote a long-term approach to providing energy and encouraging energy conservation. \nThe IRP includes the utility's energy and demand forecasts over a 20-year period. The commission evaluates the IRP for its feasibility, reliability, and cost. In addition, the commission must certify new construction of electric plants and monitor the construction process to ensure costs are kept within budget. \n \ncommission will collect a percentage of gross revenues from all telephone companies to help provide telephone service in rural areas. \n Extended Area Service Hearings: Extended Area Service allows toll-free calling between areas where the central telephone offices are within 25 miles or less apart. \nThe Natural Gas Bill directly impacts 2 investor-owned utilities, Atlanta Gas Light Company and United Cities Gas Company. These 2 companies will maintain the gas lines and sell gas to marketers. The marketers in tum will sell the gas to the customers. The cost that the gas companies charge the marketers will stay regulated. Marketers will offer competitive prices to the end users, residential and small business \n \nimplement new technology.

In 1997, the system served 263,577 students and granted 35,117 degrees. This undertaking requires 34,110 equivalent full-time state funded positions budgeted as of July 1, 1997. This total does not include 229 positions in the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission. \nThe Units of the University System perform several functions, including instruction, research, and public service. The primary mission of the system is instruction. This activity is funded through the Resident Instruction or \"A\" Unit Budget. The \"B\" Unit Budget contains 14 different functional budgets. Activities funded through the \"B\" Unit include the Georgia Tech Research Institute, Agricultural Experiment Stations, Cooperative Extension Service, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS INSTRUCTION-The system is composed of 34 \ninstitutions that provide approximately 90% of the people of Georgia with access to institutions of higher education within commuting distance. Fifteen two-year colleges offer programs leading to an associate degree. Four of these institutions (Bainbridge, Coastal Georgia Community College, Clayton and Dalton) offer vocational programs through an arrangement with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education. There are 13 senior colleges and state universities in the system. These institutions offer baccalaureate degrees, and most offer associate and graduate degrees. All 6 regional and research universities in the system offer graduate and professional degrees, as well as some associate and baccalaureate degrees. \nOTHER SYSTEM UNITS AND ACTIVITIES GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GTRI) - \nis comprised of 6 laboratories that provide a broad range of scientific, engineering and industrial research. The Institute encourages industrial and economic development by providing an extension service that meets the technical, informational and other needs of industry and local development groups. \nAGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS conduct basic and applied agricultural research to obtain a more complete understanding of the factors that bear upon Georgia agriculture. This mission is accomplished by research in crop and animal production, product quality, new product development, and the use of new technology in the processing and manufacturing of these products. \nCOOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE - provides assistance to Georgia farmers through a network of county extension agents who share information and research developed through the effort of the Agricultural Experiment Stations. Cooperative Extension also provides useful and practical information to the people of Georgia on subjects \n \nrelated to natural resources, home economics, youth development, rural development, and family support. \nMEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA HOSPITAL AND CLINICS - serve as an auxiliary unit of the Medical College of Georgia focusing on the development of medical knowledge and skills through organized programs of teaching medical, dental, nursing and allied health science students. The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics allow students to develop knowledge and skills by actually participating in the care of patients. \nSKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY (SKIO) - is a non-degree granting research institute of the University System. The mission of SKIO is to provide the state with an internationally recognized marine science center and to promote economic development within Georgia. Skidaway has been an active participant in the distance learning initiative and also provides significant environmental research and information. \nGEORGIA RESEARCH ALLIANCE (GRA) - is a partnership between Georgia's public and private research universities and private corporations to promote economic development in Georgia. GRA's mission is to improve Georgia's research capabilities in emerging technologiesspecifically advanced communications, biotechnology and environmental technologies-that offer significant potential for economic and industrial growth. All of GRA's activities are geared toward creating and nurturing a critical mass of intellectual capital that in tum leads to the creation of new technologies, new companies and other cutting edge opportunities for Georgia. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission \n(GPTC) provides a 9-station television and 13-station radio network designed to meet the educational, cultural and informational needs of the people of Georgia. The commission also provides educational programming for state agencies and local schools through state-of-the-art satellite technology. \nThe State Medical Education Board administers a medical scholarship program and loan repayment program, and promotes the practice of rural medicine in underserved communities. \nThe Joint Board of Family Practice encourages the development of family practice educational programs by extending fmancial aid to medical school and family practice residency training programs. It also administers the Southern Regional Education Board's payments program as well as operating grants to the Mercer University School of Medicine and the Morehouse School of Medicine. \nAUTHORITY Titles 12,20,49 and 50 ofthe Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n477 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA \nStrategies and Services \n \nHigher education has a proud history in the state of Georgia. The beginnings of this tradition can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres for the endowment of \"a college or seminary of learning.\" From that humble start, the University System of Georgia has grown to include 4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, and 15 associate degree colleges, which cumulatively enrolled 205,389 students in the fall of 1997. \nAny growing organization must have a vision to guide its decisions, and the University System has completed a comprehensive strategic plan. A cornerstone of the plan is the assurance that the system is meeting the needs of the state by maximizing the full potential of its resources. Efforts are currently underway to develop budget strategies that link objectives for enrollment, workforce needs and capital priorities to resource requirements in meaningful and realistic ways. Guiding this work is a vision statement adopted by the Board of Regents that says, in part: \n\"As Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will lead in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and colleges, Georgia's will be recognized for fIrst-rate undergraduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service... The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and universities will sustain close contact with the people of Georgia, be responsive to the needs of Georgians fIrst and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state.\" \nThroughout his two-term administration, Governor. Miller has shown strong support for the Board of Regents and the 34 institutions of the University System. According to a November 1997 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Georgia now ranks tenth nationwide \n \nin terms of higher education funding and enjoys considerable prestige in the education community. The Governor has focused both his concern and the state's resources in 3 major areas within the University System: overall spending, teacher salaries, and facilities. \nOVERALL SYSTEM FUNDING Since 1992, the University \nSystem of Georgia has enjoyed a 78.7% increase in total state appropriations. Although part of this increase is attributed to the implementation of the Georgia Lottery for Education, general fund spending has increased at a rate of 75.6% over the same time period. \n \n(GALILEO) project, which recently received an award from the Smithsonian Institute for its ''visionary use of information technology in the fIeld of education and academia.\" The annual Almanac issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education praised Governor Miller and the Legislature for making \"a strong fInancial investment in public higher education\" and indicated that the rest of the country is \"now very aware of the innovation and progress of the University System.\" \nThe University System of Georgia has continued to achieve the fundamental mission of instruction, research and public service. Increased funding under Governor \n \nTotal University System Funding Miller Administration \n \n1,600,000,000 \n \n1,400,000,000 \n \n1,200,000,000 \n \n1,000,000,000 \n \n800,000,000 1992 \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 1996 Fiscal Years \n \n1997 \n \n1998 *1999 Rec. \n \nGovernor Miller recommends $1,478,879,425 in F.Y 1999 for the University System and its attached agencies, not including the pay raise package. This total represents an increase in support not only for traditional programs, but also for new and innovative initiatives that have propelled the University System of Georgia to the forefront of the national higher education scene. One example of such an initiative is the Georgia Library Learning Online \n \nMiller has allowed the system to focus on critical areas such as improving academic standards, participating in statewide economic development and increasing access to the system and its resources. \nTEACHER SALARIES To provide Georgia's colleges \nand universities with quality professors to teach the rising number of students, Governor Miller continues to support increases in \n \n478 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nfaculty salaries. In F.Y. 1992, Georgia ranked seventh among the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states in annual faculty salary at four-year public institutions, with an average salary of $42,766. This year, projections indicate that Georgia win move into second place with an average salary of $56,248. Recognizing the importance of attracting and maintaining excellent employees, Governor Miller's F.Y. 1999 recommendations include $77,884,854 to provide a 6% meritbased pay increase for all Board of Regents employees. Based on this increase and projections developed for other states, Georgia will move into first place among SREB states, with an average annual faculty salary at four-year institutions of $59,623. These consistent increases in teacher salaries have made Georgia competitive at the national level in the area of teacher recruitment. Georgia Institute of Technology recently ranked first nationwide in number of \n \ntop young science faculty recognized by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Governor Miller's consistent commitment to increase faculty salaries has benefited the entire system and improved the quality of education available to students at Georgia's colleges and universities. \nFACILITIES IMPROVEMENT Throughout his two-tenn \nadministration, the Governor has been committed to providing high quality facilities at Georgia's colleges and universities. Since 1991, Governor Miller has authorized $1,023,074,090 in capital projects for the University System. This includes $185,120,000 in new construction, planning and design, and renovation projects recommended for F.Y. 1999. These projects include: a classroom building for Augusta State University ($18,195,000); a classroom building for Georgia State University ($29,075,000); a science building for Annstrong Atlantic State University \n \nUniversity System of Georgia Public Four-Year Institutions Regional Salary Comparisons \n \n561,000 ,---,------.-----.-----.-----,----,---.---.---.-----, \n559,000 -t--+--+--+--+----I----I---+--_+_ 557,000 -f--+--+--+--+---+---+555,000 -t---+--+--+--+--+-----biIl 553,000 -j--+--+--+--+- \n \n551,000 \n \n549,000 \n \n547,000 \n \n545,000 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 Fiscal Years \n \n1998 \n \n* 1999 \n \n~Virginia \n \n~ North Carolina \n \n-+-Georgia \n \n* 1999 projection based on SREB data. \n \n479 \n \n($28,000,000); a science building for Gainesville College ($8,850,000); an addition to Odum Library at Valdosta State University ($14,250,000); a learning resource center at DeKalb College ($48,685,000); and a health and physical education complex at Fort Valley State University ($18,930,000). The Governor also recommends 11 projects from the minor capital outlay list totaling $33 million. \nAnother major capital expenditure category is the planning and design of major construction projects. In F.Y. 1999, Governor Miller recommends that the following projects receive funds: an architecture building expansion at Southern Polytechnic State University ($515,000); an instructional complex at Gordon College ($600,000); an Environmental Sciences and Technology Building at Georgia Tech ($1,340,000); a Health and Natural Sciences building at North Georgia College and State University ($765,000); a Student Learning Center at the University of Georgia ($1,710,000); a Gwinnett Center Campus for Dekalb College and the University of Georgia ($880,000); and a Learning Center at Clayton College and State University ($930,000). The Governor's capital outlay plan is based on a priority list developed by the Board of Regents, and is designed to meet the projected needs of the system as a whole. \nIn addition to this impressive total, Governor Miller has also authorized $275,498,812 in major repair and rehabilitation (MRR) funds since 1992, and has increased the MR.R fonnula-funding factor from .75% to 1% of total replacement value over the last 2 years. The MR.R fund increases illustrate the Governor's commitment to maintaining and protecting higher education facilities. In F.Y. 1997, 283 projects at all 34 institutions were completed. MRR funds are currently being used to address infrastructure concerns at Fort Valley State University, Kennesaw State University, North Georgia College and State University, and \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia Southwestern State \n \nUniversity. In F.Y. 1999, an \n \nadditional $2.4 million is being added \n \nto formula MRR funds in order to \n \nbring the factor to 1% of total \n \nreplacement value. \n \nSince 1994, Governor Miller has \n \nptovided $153,481,470 in lottery \n \nfunds to help the University System \n \nfocus on capital priorities, including \n \nnot only construction, but also \n \ntechnology, hardware and software. \n \nThe Equipment, Technology and \n \nConstruction Trust Fund has provided \n \nfor the purchase of needed equipment \n \nat the institutions, thus enabling them \n \nto expose students to recent \n \ntechnological \n \nadvancements. \n \nSpecifically, funds have been used to \n \npurchase advanced equipment for \n \nclassrooms and high technology \n \nlaboratories, and to build and equip \n \ntechnology-related facilities. The \n \nGovernor recommends that $15 \n \nmillion be allocated to this fund in \n \nF.Y. 1999, once again designating $3 \n \nmillion for Unit \"B\" activities. \n \nMOVING TOWARD THE NEW MILLENIUM \nUnder the guidance of Chancellor Portch and the Board of Regents, the University System of Georgia has focused on several areas that have received significant support from Governor Miller. Many of these initiatives are critical to the future success of the System. Both the Board of Regents and the Governor have placed considerable emphasis and resources in the areas of higher standards systemwide, greater access to higher education for the citizens of Georgia and statewide economic development. \nRAISING SYSTEM QUALITY AND STANDARDS - Many efforts have been made to increase both the academic standards of the University System and the quality of instruction. In order to prepare Georgia's students to meet new admission standards, the Governor recommends $2.8 million in F.Y. 1999 to support the Partners in Success Initiative. Partners in Success includes the Post-secondary Readiness Enrichment Program \n \nMiller Administration Capital Outlay \u0026 Major Repair and Renovation Funds \n \nTotal Funds: $1,441,054,372 \n \nNew Construction $1,023,074,090 \n \nLottery Capital Outlay \n$153,481,470 \n \nMajor Repair and Renovation $264,498,812 \n \n(PREP), designed to provide supplementary academic readiness programs for middle school children in at-risk situations who show potential, but may not be able to meet the new admission standards. This program received a total of $600,000 in state funds in F.Y. 1997 and 1998 and attracted over $4 million in private donations from organizations such as Georgia Power, BellSouth and the Woodruff Foundation. Governor Miller recommends an additional $1,000,000 for PREP in F.Y. 1999 to support direct program instruction costs and hire a director to be responsible for South Georgia PREP programs. PREP currently serves 6,189 students in 178 middle schools and is designed to serve an additional 11,000 students each year through 2001. Last year, over 33,000 middle school students visited system campuses to experience college life. The University System aims to leverage state funds with $12.8 million in private donations. Another element of the PREP program is student mentoring. Governor Miller recommends $800,000 in F.Y. 1999 to hire University System of Georgia and Department of Technical and Adult Education students to serve as mentors to middle school children \n480 \n \naround the state. These funds will provide an additional 400 mentors for approximately 11,000 new seventh graders who will enter the PREP program next year. \nThe Partners in Success Initiative also includes $200,000 for a prognostic math test to be administered to all high school juniors. This test is designed to inform students of their progress in preparing for transition to the University System, and suggest ways that they can improve their skills. This program will decrease the number of students who enter college needing remedial assistance in math. \nThe fmal element of the Partners in Success initiative supports programs for gifted and talented high school students. Governor Miller recommends $400,000 each for the Advanced Academy of Georgia at the State University of West Georgia and the Math and Science Academy at Middle Georgia College. These residential programs provide early transition to college for young scholars who demonstrate superior scholastic achievement. \nIn the F.Y. 1999 budget, Governor Miller continues to support several on-going initiatives focused on improving education quality and \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nstandards. The Distinguished Teachers Program is designed to id,entify and reward excellence in teaching, as well as utilize teachers as a resource to improve the quality of teaching instruction, particularly in th.e use of technology. The Governor recommends $1,350,000 in F.Y. 1999 to continue this initiative. Another continuation item is the Professional Development Initiative. This program focuses on the retraining of faculty and staff, post-tenure review and curriculum redesign. Governor Miller recommends $1 million in F.Y. 1999 to update academic and faculty mentoring programs and improve the quality of system faculty and course offerings. \nIn an effort to provide the system with quality facu1ty, the Governor has provided funds to hire 19 Eminent Scholars and recommends an additional 3 in F.Y. 1998 Amended. State funds are recommended in F.Y. 1999 to match private funds for Endowed Chairs in Economics at Armstrong Atlantic State University ($500,000), in Latin Studies at Columbus State University ($500,000) and in information technology at Macon College ($1,000,000 for 2 chairs). The Governor also provided funds for an endowed chair at Georgia Southwestern State University in F.Y. 1998. \nIn addition to currently existing programs, a portion of the Board of Regents $62 million redirection will be used for a comprehensive review of teacher preparation in the University System. This study will focus on developing methods to attract quality students into the teaching profession and to support those students once they enter the workforce. Considerable attention will also be given to improving curriculum to better prepare teachers for the challenges they face. \nIMPROVING ACCESS TO EDUCATION - Governor Miller has worked hard to make Georgia's higher education system available to the citizens of this state. Because of the Helping Outstanding Pupils \n \nEducationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, a college education is now within the reach of young people from all of Georgia's families. The University of Georgia (UGA), where approximately 97% of the freshman class is HOPE eligible, was recently ranked by Money magazine as one of 9 \"unbeatable deals\" nationwide where students can attend school tuition-free. The state is providing opportunities for many students to attend college while keeping quality students in our own state. \nUnder the leadership of Governor Miller, the vision of \"one statewide electronic library\" has become a reality and the system is regarded as a national model with a remarkable track record in just 3 years of operation. GALILEO recorded its 2.7 millionth \"hit\" or access in June of 1997 and is on track to reach 3 million hits by the end of the year. Currently, 34 University System libraries, the Governor's Office, 3 legislative research offices, 60 public libraries, 34 technical institutes and 33 private educational institutions are linked to the system. Plans are underway to add 101 additional public libraries and 1,818 K-12 libraries to the GALILEO family. The Governor recommends $4,240,000 in state and lottery continuation funding for GALILEO. \nThe opportunity exists for System libraries to take another major step in developing a fully interconnected system. The current GALILEO system links all libraries in the University System, but there are many different software information systems and databases used by these libraries. This initiative will standardize software systemwide to provide greater access and maintenance of holdings. Governor Miller recommends $2 million in F.Y. 1998 Amended lottery funds for GALILEO II, or the Interconnected Library System Initiative. Improvements will allow students and facu1ty to utilize the collections of all University System libraries as though they are one library by providing computer access to each library's \n481 \n \nmaterials, a convenient and responsive system of book request and delivery and open checkout privileges system-wide. \nIn an effort to improve access to educational services, the Governor recommends $2 million in state general funds for the development of a Statewide System of Desktop Learning known as \"Georgia OnLine\". This network will meet the educational needs of working professionals throughout Georgia by offering both credit and non-credit courses over the World Wide Web. This cutting-edge technology advancement, known as tlle \"virtual university\", will help the University System of Georgia maintain its competitiveness with other systems across the nation. The F.Y. 1999 funding will purchase hardware and software necessary to maintain the system and personnel to coordinate project management and curriculum development. The 2-year pilot program involves 9 schools selected by the University System, including 1 institution to serve as the technical support headquarters for other sites. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 1999 recommendation includes several continuation items that reflect his commitment to greater access. $2,564,000 is recommended in general and lottery funds to continue the Internet Connection Initiative and allow upgrades to networking software. Continuation funding also includes $1,365,000 for the Connecting Students and Services Initiative. These funds will maintain current service levels and provide a University System student application on the World Wide Web. The Governor recommends $8,211,607 to continue the Connecting Teachers and Technology Initiative, designed to help teachers use the distance learning network to improve instruction. These funds are used to upgrade GSAMS and high technology classrooms, establish Web-based programs and support the Governor's Teaching Fellows Program. \nIn order to continue technology improvements within the System, it is \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \ncritical to preserve and protect the state's investment in technology infrastructure. Governor Miller recommends $6 million in F.Y. 1999 to support Instructional Technology so that the System may maintain an effective state-of-the-art system for delivering instructional services. This investment, in conjunction with the $3 million in F.Y. 1998 lottery funds and the $5 million recommended in F.Y. 1998 Amended state general funds, will ensure that all institutions have access to the technology necessary to compete in today's education marketplace. These funds provide ongoing maintenance critical to teaching and learning, replace obsolete equipment and provide resource and maintenance personnel systemwide. $1 million is designated to train additional faculty and staff in the use of technology in the classroom. \nSTATEWIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - Governor Miller has supported the role of the University System in economic development. Perhaps the best known initiative is the Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP). This program was critical in attracting a $100 million investment by Total System Services in Columbus and has become a higher education model to address strategic workforce development needs. The first ICAPP Columbus State University class graduated in March 1997 and Augusta State University began the second phase of the project in late summer. Department of Labor studies indicate that Georgia will need more than 12,000 information technology specialists by the year 2003. For this reason, the Governor recommends $840,000 in F.Y. 1999 to expand the ICAPP program and develop both credit and continuing education programs to address existing and anticipated workforce needs. Continuation funding for ICAPP includes $3,280,357 in state funds for FY 1999. \nThe Georgia Tech .Research Institute (GTRI) makes major contributions to the state's economic \n \ngrowth through research and development. GTRI's economic importance stems from the out-ofstate research dollars generated and spin-off companies created to market GTRI discoveries. Current and former GTRI employees have developed 26 such companies. In F.Y. 1997, GTRI received over $10.2 million from the state, including lottery and research consortium funds and attracted $89.9 million in additional funds from federal and corporate sponsors. This year the Governor recommends $9,025,582 in state general funds for GTRI. \nSince 1970, the Marine Extension Service of the University of Georgia has worked to provide assistance to Georgia's $60 million seafood industry. Georgia's seafood processing plants are among the largest in the southeast and employ over 1,600 full-time and seasonal workers. Governor Miller's F.Y. 1999 recommendation for this agency includes funds for an economic development specialist to provide assistance to existing and developing industries. The total F.Y. 1999 recommendation for the Marine Extension Service is $1,458,968. \nThe Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech simulates the formation of technology-based companies and assists in their growth and development. ATDC graduate companies employ over 2,000 people and had a 1996 combined income of over $250 million. Eight companies graduated in 1997 and several have been recognized as \"Entrepreneurs of the Year.\" ATDC is currently exploring Web-based business incubator services to provide information and assistance to its customers. At the Georgia Institute of Technology's Economic Development Institute (EDI), several initiatives are underway to attract new industry to the state and improve the competitiveness of small and medium sized manufacturers. Through new programs such as FaciliTech, EDI provides technical assistance to companies expanding in or moving to \n482 \n \nGeorgia. Communities across the state use EDI's local impact analysis model (LOCI) to examine the fmancial impact of potential investments. This year the Governor is recommending a specialist to assist companies with international trade requirements and funds to research lean manufacturing techniques. The total recommended budget for ATDCIEDI in F.Y. 1999 is $7,234,021. \nAnother significant piece of economic development in Georgia is the Governor's Traditional Industries Program. F.Y. 1999 recommended funding for Traditional Industries will benefit not only the participating industries, but Georgia's environment as well. Almost all projects for the carpet, textile and apparel group (CCACTI) are related to the environment and will lead to decreased water consumption, reduced waste and toxicity and cleaner processes. The pulp and paper group (TIp3) has several projects that will help the industry move toward cleaner processes. This group also sponsors research on fiber yield. The food-processing group (FoodPAC) improves Georgia's environment by working on methods to reduce fresh water usage and sponsors research related to processing methods and food safety. \nThe Governor recommends $7.1 million in F.Y. 1999 ($3.9 million in general funds and $3.2 million in bonds) for the Traditional Industries program. CCACTI will receive $2,771,000 ($955,000 in general funds and $1,816,000 in bonds), TIp3 will receive $1,966,000 ($1,366,000 in general funds and $600,000 in bonds) and FoodPAC will receive $2,194,000 ($1,394,000 in general funds and $800,000 in bonds). Another $220,000 is designated for administration, marketing and technology transfer. The latter will' continue to increase in importance as more research reaches the implementation stage. \nIndustry members defme the research agenda and decide how the money will be spent. The investment \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nin this unique research and \n \ndevelopment program started by \n \nGovernor Miller in F.Y. 1994 will \n \ntotal $34.2 million including the F.Y. \n \n1999 recommendation. Many states \n \nhave invested in programs focused on \n \nDew industry, but few have helped \n \nolder, more traditional industries \n \nbecome more technologically \n \ncompetitive. Georgia's commitment \n \nto traditional industries has \n \ncontributed to the state's rapid rise in \n \nnational science and technology \n \nrankings. \n \nThe Georgia Environmental \n \nPartnership (GEP) is a collaborative \n \neffort by the Department of Natural \n \nResources' Pollution Prevention \n \nAssistance, \n \nthe \n \nEconomic \n \nDevelopment Institute at Georgia \n \nTech and UGA's Department of \n \nBiological and Agricultural \n \nEngineering. GEP was created to \n \nparticipate in the Southeast \n \nEnvironmental Resource Alliance \n \n(SERA), but with the demise of this \n \nalliance, GEP must continue to \n \nprovide environmental services to \n \nGeorgia industries. GEP provides \n \ndirect technical assistance to \n \nindustries facing environmental \n \nproblems and is the state's primary \n \nmechanism for technology transfer \n \nfrom GRA and the Traditional \n \nIndustries program. Governor Miller \n \nrecommends $300,000 in matching \n \nfunds to continue the support of \n \nGEP's 12 industry environmental \n \nnetworks and expand GEP's capacity \n \nto address solid waste issues affecting \n \nGeorgia industries. \n \nTHE VISION OF GEORGIA'S \n \nUNIVERSITY SYSTEM - All \n \ninitiatives and developments must be \n \nconsistent with the vision of the \n \nUniversity System of Georgia. The 3 \n \nbasic programs of the System are \n \ninstruction, research and public \n \nservice. \n \nRESIDENT INSTRUCTION - \n \nThe \"A\" Unit of the University \n \nSystem budget funds resident \n \ninstruction at all 34 institutions and \n \nrepresents the largest commitment of \n \nmoney and personnel. The resident \n \ninstruction portion of the F.Y. 1998 \n \nbudget was $1,219,570,248. For F.Y. \n \n1999, the Governor recommends \n \n$1,230,370,248. Resident Instruction \n \nis formula-funded and places \n \nconsiderable emphasis on enrollment \n \ngrowth. \n \nThe F.Y. 1999 \n \nrecommendation reflects the \n \nGovernor's decision not to hold the \n \nsystem accountable for a 7.92% \n \ndecrease in quarter credit hours \n \nduring Sununer 1996. This decrease \n \nwas due to the 1996 Sununer \n \nOlympic Games, as many campuses \n \nwere unable to offer classes and \n \nsuffered a significant decline in \n \nenrollment. The Board of Regents \n \nanticipates a 10% increase in \n \nUniversity System enrollment over \n \nthe next 5 years, and to remove this \n \nfunding would be detrimental to the \n \nsystem and its students. Another \n \ncomponent of the formula addresses \n \nfunding for major repair and \n \nrehabilitation of all University System \n \nassets. Governor Miller's F.Y. 1999 \n \nrecommendation changes the formula \n \nto fund these repairs at 1% of the \n \nreplacement value of $4,777,443,410. \n \nMRR is currently funded at 0.95% of \n \nreplacement value. \n \nThe \"A\" Unit also contains \n \nfunding for Special Funding \n \nInitiatives, Forestry Research, the \n \nStudent Education Enrichment \n \nProgram, the Office of Minority \n \nBusiness Enterprises and the \n \nResearch Consortium. \n \nRESEARCH - System research \n \nfunds are generated by the formula. \n \nHowever, additional funds are \n \nrecommended to support the research \n \nfunctions of several \"B\" Unit \n \nactivities. \n \nGovernor Miller \n \nrecommends that the \"B\" Unit receive \n \n$180,361,261 in state funds for F.Y. \n \n1999, including $16,213,703 to \n \nsupport the Georgia Public \n \nTelecommunications Commission. \n \nResearch projects conducted by \n \nthe University System's institutions \n \nincrease the national prestige of the \n \nsystem as a whole. Georgia creates \n \nresearch opportunities and reaps the \n \nbenefits of pure and applied research \n \nfindings. \n \nOne important research activity is \n \nthe Agricultural Technology \n \nResearch Program at Georgia Tech. \n \nGovernor Miller is including funds to \n \nincrease poultry research in F.Y. \n \n1999. One new project involves the \n \ndevelopment of sensor processing \n \ntechniques that assist the industry by \n \nincreasing meat yield and reducing \n \nworker injuries. \n \nAnother important research \n \nfunction is the University of \n \nGeorgia's Agricultural Experiment \n \nStation. The mission of this unit is to \n \nF.Y. 1999 State Funds Unit B Recommendation - $164,147,558 \n \nOther 5.4% \n \nEconomic and Industrial \nDevelopment 9.0% \n \nAgriculture Research and \nExtension 46.6% \n \nMarine Education and Research 2.5% \nMedical Education and \nResearch 36.6% \n \n483 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nconduct research and provide information on the factors that influence agriculture in Georgia. Current research efforts focus on the rapidly growing green industIy, vegetable and fruit production, precision fanning and the environment. The total F.Y. 1999 reconunendation for the Agricultural Experiment Stations is $39,859,098. \nThe Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) has helped move Georgia from nineteenth place in 1992 to third place in 1996 in state science and technology funding. The Governor reconunends $36,925,000 in F.Y. 1998 Amended new funds for GRA. With these funds, Georgia's investment in GRA since its inception in F.Y. 1993 exceeds $200 million. GRA continues to invest in eminent scholars, equipment, and facilities in 3 major focus areas: advanced conununications, biotechnology, and environmental technologies. The F.Y. 1998 Amended reconunendation includes 3 eminent scholars for whom matching funds have already been secured. The University of Georgia will receive a scholar in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Georgia Tech will recruit in the areas of tissue engineering and wireless systems. \nThe F.Y. 1998 Amended reconunendation recognizes the need for more technology development \n \ncenters, similar to incubators, since \n \nexisting GRA development centers \n \nare filled to capacity.

To carry out its mission, \n \nGPTC operates 9 television stations and 13 radio stations statewide. \nGPTC moved into its new facility located on 14th Street in Atlanta and adjacent to the new Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT) in August 1997. The new facility is the first public broadcasting facility in the nation with total digital technology capabilities. Technical features of the new facility include 3 production studios with audience seating, 6 distance learning studios, 3 major edit suites and a production suite. The facility contains a live performance studio and 2 production studios dedicated to Peach State Radio. In addition to broadcasting an extensive national program schedule provided by such agencies as the Public Broadcasting System and National Public Radio, member stations devote considerable resources to locally produced programs of interest to Georgia communities. Both the radio and television operations have produced programs for national distribution, giving Georgia considerable national exposure. \nAn important initiative of Governor Miller has been to increase the educational progranuning shown over GPTV and PeachStar. The commission's daytime programming \n \nis almost completely educational. With every public school, regional library, college and technical institution statewide equipped with satellite technology, these entities have the capability to receive educational programming from over 25 satellites. GPTC also purchased a satellite transponder, allowing the state to broadcast educational programming to every Georgia school and any other institution statewide that has a satellite dish. Distance learning programming has expanded educational opportunities for Georgia students. The Governor recommends $2,000,000 in lottery funds for the purchase of additional educational programming. \nThe commission has purchased and produced programming to assist teachers and other faculty in their professional development. A special emphasis of the staff development programming is helping teachers understand how to use multi-media in the classroom. Teleconferences expose local school personnel to state and national experts in a variety of fie1ds-experts individual schools could not easily afford. Such programs can be used to fulfill requirements for certificate renewal. \n \n485 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nINSTRUCTION \n

The other 1% sales taxes designated for local entities are the local option sales tax, the special purpose tax, and the new educational and homestead taxes. All but 6 counties have a local option sales tax designated for county operations. This tax remains in effect until the voters decide to remove it. The special purpose tax differs from the local option tax because it remains in effect for up to 5 years. The special purpose tax is in effect in 127 counties and is used primarily for road and capital improvements. As of July 1, 1997, a county can adopt the 1% educational and homestead sales taxes if a majority of the voters approve. The educational tax is for capital improvements and bond retirement of school systems located within the county. Since July, 63 counties have adopted the educational tax. DeKalb County is the only county that has adopted the homestead tax. The tax is for capital improvements and services within a county and is limited to the 6 counties that did not have a local options sales tax as of July 1, 1997. \nMOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND LICENSING \nEvery motor vehicle, trailer and truck tractor, with certain exceptions, must be registered through the appropriate county tag agent's office, which is the County Tax Commissioner or Tax Collector. The county tag agent \n \nalso collects the ad valorem tax and processes applications for tags and/or renewal decals for motor vehicles. The Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division issues and maintains the file system for titles and registrations of over 7 million vehicles in the state. \nREGULATION OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO The Department of Revenue enforces all laws and \nregulations concerning the manufacture, possession, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes within the state. The department's Alcohol and Tobacco Division has the following duties: \n Enforces laws and regulations concerning alcohol and tobacco products and taxes. \n Inspects alcohol beverage licensees for compliance with state laws and regulations. \n Investigates all liquor license applicants.  Confiscates contraband alcohol and tobacco products.  Assists and coordinates law enforcement actions with other enforcement agencies. \nORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the department has 11 \ndivisions reporting to the State Revenue Commissioner. Each of the divisions has a role in the administration of tax laws and the collection oftaxes and fees. The divisions are: \n Administrative Division.  Internal Administration Division.  Central Audit Division.  Field Services Division.  Information Systems Division.  Motor Vehicle Division.  Taxpayer Accounting Division.  Income Tax Division.  Alcohol and Tobacco Division.  Property Tax Division.  Sales and Use Tax Division. \nATTACHED AGENCY The State Board of Equalization is attached to the \nDepartment of Revenue for administrative purposes only. The board provides for appointment and retention of hearing officers whose function is to hear and determine appeals by local governing authorities on issues relating to the disapproval of county digests by the Commissioner of Revenue. \nAUTHORITY Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n509 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Revenue is responsible for collecting over $10 billion in taxes, processing 15 million tax documents, issuing almost $1 billion in tax refunds, and distributing over $1.5 billion to local governments each year. The state's ability to deliver government services to its citizens and visitors depends on the department's ability to accurately and effectively administer the state's tax laws. \nRecognizing the importance of the department's functions, the Governor authorized an extensive study of the department's operations in F.Y. 1997. The result of this analysis is the \"Blueprint for Modernization\", a plan to modernize the department's management and computer systems. A total of $19,357,500 was appropriated in the F.Y. 1997 Amended and the F.Y. 1998 budgets to fund the first phase of this plan. The Governor has recommended a total of $12,856,330 to continue the department's modernization program. Of this amount, $7,953,662 is recommended in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget and $4,902,668 in F.Y. 1999. \n \nMODERNIZATION \n \nThe \n \n\"Blueprint \n \nfor \n \nModernization\" outlines the steps that \n \nmust be taken to improve the \n \nefficiency and effectiveness of the \n \ndepartment's operations. \n \nThe \n \ndepartment has taken action on the \n \nplan's 5 major areas: \n \nFOCUSING \n \nON \n \nTHE \n \nCUSTOMER--The department has \n \ninitiated several programs to improve \n \ncustomer service. A taxpayer \n \nadvocate position is working to \n \nresolve taxpayer issues; an \n \ninstallment pay program has been \n \nimplemented to make it easier to pay \n \ndelinquent taxes, and the Governor \n \nsupports the design of a customer call \n \ncenter to assist taxpayers in obtaining \n \nthe information they need. \n \nMANAGING TECHNOLOGY-- \n \nThe department has improved the \n \nmanner in which information \n \ntechnology projects are managed and \n \nmonitored, including the new sales \n \ntax system, imaging technology, and \n \nthe motor vehicle tag and title system. \n \nAlso in this area, the department \n \nhas developed plans and schedules to \n \nmeet its biggest challenge, correcting \n \nthe Year 2000 problem. \n \n98% of Taxpayers Pay Voluntarily, Yet State Still Collects Almost $300 million Through Audits and Delinquent Payments \n \nS13,000 \n \nSI2,120 \n \nS12,785 \n \nS261 \n \nS287 \n \nso \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nII Voluntary \n \nI2'J Auditsillelinquent Collections \n \nIMPROVING PERFORMANCE \n \nAND ACCOUNTABILITY--The \n \ndepartment has taken the critical step \n \nin the implementation of the \n \nmodernization effort by creating the \n \nprogram management function. This \n \nfunction will monitor all major \n \nprojects to ensure that they remain \n \nwithin budget, stay on schedule, and \n \nmeet the agreed upon requirements. \n \nThe department has also \n \ncontracted with a private firm to \n \nconduct an independent quality \n \nassurance review of the sales tax and \n \nmotor vehicle systems projects. The \n \ndepartment is developing a strategic \n \ninformation technology plan to guide \n \nall future development technology \n \nproject, enhancements, and equipment \n \nacquisitions. \n \nFinally, the department has \n \ncontracted with private collection \n \nagencies on a commission fee basis to \n \nassist in the collection of delinquent \n \ntaxes. The commission fee is funded \n \nentirely by the cost of collection fee \n \nauthorized by law and does not \n \nrequire state funds. In F.Y. 1997, the \n \ndepartment assigned to 3 collection \n \nagencies almost 50,000 delinquent \n \naccounts over 2 years old with a value \n \nof almost $130 million. The program \n \nwill continue in F.Y. 1998 with the \n \nassignment of another 50,000 \n \naccounts over 2 years old. The goal \n \nof the program is to have private \n \ncollection agencies collect all \n \naccounts where taxpayers have not \n \nresponded to reasonable collection \n \nefforts by the department. \n \nORGANIZING FOR RESULTS-- \n \nThe department will be moving from \n \na tax type organization to a functional \n \norganization. \n \nA 6-phase \n \nimplementation plan has been \n \ndeveloped to complete the transition \n \nfrom a tax type to a functional \n \norganization and should be \n \nimplemented by the end of F.Y. 1998.. \n \nREDESIGNING \n \nTHE \n \nPROCESS--The department has \n \nexpanded its internet web page to \n \nallow taxpayers access to various tax \n \nforms and publications. The \n \ndepartment continues to move in the \n \n510 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE -- Strategies and Services \n \ndirection of paperless processing by offering income tax electronic filing, ;lectronic tag transmission from the counties, and imaging of all tax returns. Electronic tag transmission results in a more accurate motor vehicle database for law enforcement and saves time and money by reducing data entry needs. \n \nas \"00\" by software that is not Year 2000 compliant. Date calculations are also affected. For example a program may determine that the period between 01/01/99 and 01/01/00 is a negative 99 years. \nThe Department of Revenue has numerous computer applications that use a 2-year digit field to determine \n \n8,000,000 7,000,000 6,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000 \no \n \nRapid Move to Electronic Tag Transmission Is Saving Time and Money \n \nFY 95 \n \nFY96  Paper \n \nFY 97 12 Electronic \n \nFY 98 \n \nYEAR 2000 The department processes an \naverage of 54,000 pieces of mail and collects tnillions of dollars every day. In order to perfonn these daily processing functions, the department is dependent on automated systems which must be made Year 2000 compliant. This effort represents the single largest information systems project ever undertaken by the department and will require a significant commitment of resources. \nThe Year 2000 problem represents the first time in history that the computer industry has had to cross a century boundary and many computer applications will not function properly. Many older computer applications were written to store dates using only 2 digits to represent the year. A new century requires the ability to distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000, both of which would be represented \n \norder, precedence and to calculate date differences. Many of the programs, especially financial, calculation and tax programs, use dates to calculate tax penalty assessments and receivables aging. The department's information technology staff must locate, test, and modify every place a date is used for comparison, calculation or for reporting purposes to determine if the application will function properly after the turn of the century. \nThe Year 2000 problem is more than just expanding the date field. It requires not only corrections to applications, but also the underlying technologies that those applications use. PC and LAN-based applications must also be tested and potentially remediated. Software upgrades must be installed and tested for Year 2000 compliance. The department has to manage and coordinate its resources to reduce the impact that the Year \n511 \n \n2000 remediation effort will have on its operations. \nThe department has a project team in place to manage the Year 2000 effort. The department's approach to the Year 2000 remediation effort consists of: \n Rewriting applications where modernization is planned and the target date precedes the Year 2000 failure date. \n Rewrite applications where the technology is so archaic that remediation is not possible and the systems are still critical to agency function. \n Remediate applications where a rewrite is planned for modernization, but cannot be completed before the known failure date. \n Remediate applications where no rewrite is planned. \n Replace applications with off the shelf software wherever possible. \nRETURNS PROCESSING The Department of Revenue \nreceives and processes tnillions of tax returns and payments from individuals and businesses. In F.Y. 1997, the department processed 3.2 million individual income tax returns, 200,000 corporate returns, 1.4 tnillion withholding returns, and 1.5 tnillion sales tax returns. \nThe department has traditionally processed these returns in a labor and paper intensive manner. However, the department has begun to develop and implement information technology initiatives designed to streamline and increase the automation of the returns process. Two of these initiatives are imaging and electronic filing. These efforts will reduce current and future manpower requirements, provide convenient service, improve efficiency and reduce errors. \nProcessing returns that are subtnitted electronically is the most cost-effective and efficient manner. The cost of processing returns manually is 1.5 times greater than processing returns filed electronically. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE -- Strategies and Services \n \nThe goal of the department is to focus on increasing the number of returns filed electronically in the long tenn while using imaging technology to process returns in the short tenn. For example, in 1996, the department processed 267,000 electronically filed returns and saw this figure increase by 40% in 1997 to 375,000. While this still represents only 5% of all tax returns, the department is continuing to make progress in this area. \nIMAGING--In F.Y. 1997, the department initiated a project to develop an imaging system for tax return processing. The new system recently migrated from a test to a production environment and is expected to be fully functional in F.Y. 1998. The system works by capturing an image of a tax return, check and enclosures as they are received. The images are stored as pennanent \n \ndocuments and data is extracted to update the tax data files. The system's benefits to the department are improved productivity, enhanced check depositing capabilities, reduced and staffing needs. Finally, streamlining the department's tax processing operations will result in taxpayers receiving their tax refunds much faster than the current 45-day average. \nJOINT ELECTRONIC FILING-Along with 30 other states, the department is a member of the Joint FederaVState Electronic Filing Program. As a participant in this program, Georgia full-year residents receiving refunds may file both their federal and state tax returns electronically with the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS serves as a conduit and transmits the state returns electronically to the \n \ndepartment. Electronic filing benefits the \ndepartment and the taxpayer. The department saves time and money because this program eliminates several manual processes and data entry functions, reduces errors, and improves processing times. The taxpayer benefits because the department is able to issue refunds faster. \nIn 1997, the department received more than 375,000 electronically filed returns, a 40% increase over 1996. In fact, Georgia ranked second in the nation in volume for those states participating in the program. The department will offer taxpayers the option of having their refunds paid through direct deposit. Direct deposit will offer taxpayers an even faster refund by eliminating check processing and mail delays. \n \nTobacco Tax 1% \nAlcohol Taxes 1% \n \nDepartment of Revenue Sources of Tax Collections \nTotal Collections $10.5 Billion \n \nIndividual Income Tax 45% \n \nSales and Use Tax 39% \n \nCorporate Income Tax 7% \n \nl\\1:iscellaneous Taxes 1% \n \nMotor Vehicle Fees 2% \n \n512 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nTAX ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT \n \nPURPOSE: Ensure compliance with Georgia's tax laws in order to fund and deliver state and local government services to serve the needs of the state's citizens and visitors. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nEnsure that taxpayers comply with the tax laws and pay the legally required amount of taxes. \n \nThe number of business tax audits will be increased by 5% from 4,800 to 5,040.

The commission's primary responsibilities include: \n Overseeing the administration of the commission.  Coordinating Georgia's 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts.  Providing educational programs on the conservation of state soil and water resources.  Developing and implementing conservation programs.  Reviewing and approving watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.  Assisting and guiding districts and other entities with provisions under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975.  Providing information on the prevention of agricultual non-point pollution. In 1996, the commission was successful in preventing the erosion of 2.4 million tons of soil through its conservation programs. Additionally, 8,357 erosion and control plans were reviewed under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975 and 533,455 acres of Georgia land received conservation treatment. The commision itself is comprised of five members (one of whom is designated chairman). The members are \n \nappointed by the Governor to five-year terms. Members act in an advisory capacity to guide and direct commission activities. \nThe commission has two divisions: \nCOMMISSION AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION The division is responsible for ensuring that the \npolicies and programs of the commission are carried out. This includes providing administrative, clerical and limited technical support to the 40 State Conservation Districts and their 370 district supervisors. \nDISTRICT REGIONAL AND OFFICE OPERATIONS The division is primarily responsible for providing \nfield support to districts; providing technical assistance to landowners and governmental units; reviewing erosion and sediment control plans submitted for land disturbing activities; and assisting groups and individuals in urban and rural settings in applying conservation practices. The division also provides demonstration projects, tours and seminars on recycling, composting, agricultural non-point pollution and other conservation practices. \nAUTHORITY Title 2 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n536 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nGeorgia's total area consists of \n \nrbughly 36.7 million acres of land and \n \n1 million acres of water. The \n \nprograms and services provided by \n \nthe Soil and Water Conservation \n \nCommission help protect Georgia's \n \nlandscape and ensure that it remains a \n \nvaluable resource to its inhabitants. \n \nIncreased urban and rural \n \ndevelopment, coupled with man's \n \nconcern for the environment, \n \nnecessitates the state's efforts to \n \nconserve its natural resources. \n \nDeveloping and implementing \n \nconservation practices are the basis \n \nfor most of the commission's \n \nprograms and services. Commission \n \ntechnicians provide assistance to \n \nlandowners and local governments, \n \nreview erosion control plans, and \n \nprotect soil by using resource \n \nmanagement systems. \n \nThe \n \ncommission continues to seek cost- \n \neffective means to provide these \n \nservices. The Resource Specialist \n \nprogram, begun in F.Y. 1997, is one \n \nexample of an approach the \n \ncommission is taking to provide a \n \nbetter quality, more cost-effective \n \nprogram. In the long term, this \n \nprogram will provide a better \n \ndistribution of service throughout the \n \nstate than the current County \n \nConservation Grant program. \n \nRESOURCE SPECIALIST PROGRAM \nIn F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998, a total of 3 resource specialists were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome, Statesboro, and Milledgeville regional offices. For F.Y. 1999, the Governor recommends continued expansion of the Resource Specialist program by providing funding for 2 additional positions to be placed in the commission's Atlanta and Albany regional offices. These 5 specialists will review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste management plans, and provide other needed \n \ntechnical support to the regional representatives. \nPartial funding for the Resource Specialist program comes from the redirection of funds from the County Conservation Grant program. Established in 1987 to help federal farm aid recipients meet the requirements of the 1985 Food Security Act, the program successfully met all its original goals in 1995. The F.Y. 1999 funding level for the County Conservation Grant program is being reduced by $50,000 to $136,500, which covers the costs for 11 positions. \nThe County Conservation Grant program will continue to be scaled down as vacancies occur, but it will still provide support to those involved in soil and water conservation until the Resource Specialist program is fully implemented in all of the commission's 6 regions. \nWATERSHEDS Watershed dams halt flooding, \nprevent soil erosion and improve water quality over an entire drainage unit. Their size can be several hundred acres to many square miles. Georgia's watersheds were built under the federal small watershed program. After their completion, the federal government relinquished responsibility for the watersheds to the soil and water conservation districts. Districts serve as sponsors or co-sponsors of 354 watersheds and are responsible for their operation and maintenance. \nIn 1991, an assessment of Georgia's Category 1 Federal Watershed Dams (failure may cause loss of life) by the Environmental Protection Division identified 141 of the structures as requiring maintenance upgrades and 10 requiring structural upgrades. Since that time, the Soil and Water Commission has spent $600,000, with an additional $185,000 recommended in F.Y. 1999, to complete maintenance upgrades on these dams. Of the 141 structures identified as \n \nreqUlrmg maintenance upgrades, 13 \n \nupgrades are now complete with an \n \nadditional 32 currently under \n \ncontract. In addition, plans for \n \nupgrades on 44 of the structures are \n \nunder review by the EPD. Once \n \nmaintenance upgrades are complete, a \n \ndam is turned over to local \n \ngovernments to maintain. Of the 10 \n \ndams identified as needing structural \n \nupgrades, the commission has begun \n \nconstruction on the Etowah #12 dam \n \nand is set to bid the Racoon #7 dam. \n \nThe other dams are still in various \n \npre-construction phases. \n \nTwo \n \nprevious bond issues totaling $3.84 \n \nmillion have been dedicated to these \n \nstructural upgrades. \n \nEROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL \nDamage from urban erosion is difficult to assess. The effects are almost always removed from the site of the erosion. While figures are not widely available, erosion from denuded construction sites on Georgia soils can exceed 200 tons of topsoil per acre per year. \nIn 1975, the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act was passed to control serious soil erosion from development sites. The act requires that all cities and counties adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances. Conservation districts review the erosion and sediment control plans submitted by these cities and counties. Districts also develop Memorandums of Understanding with local governments who then issue land disturbing permits. \nAlthough the primary focus of the erosion and sedimentation program is plan review, the commission is involved in other activities. The agency's erosion and sediment control specialists conduct training programs, assist counties with ordinance updates and conduct seminars. Its Handbook for Erosion and Sediment Control is an accepted reference standard for erosion and sedimentation implementation in Georgia. \n \n537 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nSOIL CONSERVATION \n \nPURPOSE: Conserve and protect soil, water, and related natural resources by encouraging the application of proper soil erosion and sedimentation control practices. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y. 1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nMaintain the amount of soil lost on pasture and forest lands at an acceptable level. \n \nThe amount of soil lost on pasture and forest lands will be maintained at the acceptable level of I ton per acre annually. \n \nReduce the amount of soil lost as a result of land-disturbing activities. \n \nThe amount of soil lost as a result of land-disturbing activities will decrease by 1.15 million tons. \n \nIncrease the number of cropland acres which meet tolerable levels of soil loss. \n \nThe number of cropland acres that exceed tolerable levels of soil loss will decrease by 124,133. \n \nPromote and increase the voluntary implementation of best management practices among Georgia's estimated 40,000 farmers through conservation assistance programs, workshops, seminars, and demonstrations. \n \nHave 2.5% offarmers voluntarily implement best management practices. \n \nEnsure that all local governing authorities, where feasible, adopt erosion and sediment control ordinances in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Act of 1975, as amended. \n \nHave 3.5% of local governing authorities not in compliance adopt soil erosion and sediment control ordinances in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Act of 1975, as amended. \n \nWATERSHED DAM MODIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE \n \nPURPOSE: To ensure that all soil and water conservation district sponsored watershed dams are in compliance with the Georgia Safe Dams Act of 1978. \n \nGOALS \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \n \nTo bring all existing Category 1 watershed dams into compliance with the Georgia Safe Dams Act by 2025. \n \nBring 1 Category 1 watershed dam needing structural upgrades into compliance. \n \nBring 3.5% of Category 1 watershed dams needing maintenance upgrades into compliance. \n \n538 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting \n \nProgram Fund Allocations \n \nF.Y. 1998 APPROPRIATIONS \n \nAGENCY PROGRAMS \n \nTOTAL \n \nSTATE \n \n1.

Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations, and the Governor's Scholarship Program for the Department of Education. \nGEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION \nThe Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Education Loan Act. In F.Y. 1997, over 67,397 new loans for eligible students and parents were guaranteed by the corporation. The value of those loans exceeded $216 million. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $40 million. Approximately $13 million was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process. \nGEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY The Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit \npublic corporation of the state, is responsible for providing \n \nstudent fmancial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In F.Y. 1997, the authority disbursed over $37 million in state general funds and agency revenues for over 36,000 students and over $157,000,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 131,000 students. \nThe authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Education Loan Program. In F.Y. 1997, over $63 million in student loans were originated by the authority and the total value ofloans serviced exceeded $337 million. \nThe authority has the responsibility of performing all management, supervisory, clerical and administrative functions required by the corporation and the commission. The authority also provides administrative and operational support services, at no state cost, to the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC), which is attached for administrative purposes. \nATTACHED AGENCY The Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education \nCommission is responsible for regulating private postsecondary schools operating in this state in order to protect the financial investments of Georgians participatingin their programs. \nAUTHORITY O.C.G.A. 20-3-230 et.seq., 20-3-250 et.seq., 20-3-260 \net.seq. and 20-3-310 et.seq. \n \n547 \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION Strategies and Services \n \nThe continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the degree to which educational opportunities are provided to all citizens. It is in the public interest to sustain our public and private postsecondary institutions because of their value in promoting the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Georgians. \nThe Georgia educational loan program was created to both expand educational opportunities available to all Georgians as well as to ensure the continued economic viability of our postsecondary institutions. In addition to administering the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), . Georgia also provides state funds to support service-cancelable loans and a variety of scholarship and grant programs. \nFEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation administers federally guaranteed education loan programs. Through these programs, participating commercial lenders, as well as the Georgia Student Finance Authority, make educational loans to students and the parents of students who need fmancial assistance to continue their education after high school. \nFor these loans, the corporation serves as the \"guarantor\" to the lenders. Iffor any reason the borrower does not repay the lending institution, the corporation pays the lender an amount prescribed by federal regulation and assumes the obligation for collecting the remaining debt. Since these programs are federally supported, the federal government will reimburse the corporation for most of the defaults which are purchased from lenders. \nThe federally guaranteed loan programs include the Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, and the Federal Plus Loan. \nSubsidized Federal Stafford Loan \n \nProgram--A need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The loan amount depends on the student's fmancial need, the cost of attending the school and other fmancial aid awarded. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school, during the grace period and any deferment periods. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school. \nUnsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program--A non-need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The borrower is responsible for all interest which accrues from the date the money is disbursed. Repayment of the loan must begin within 6 months following graduation or termination from school. \nFederal \"Plus\" Loan Program-Provides loans to parents of dependent undergraduate or graduate students to help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other fmancial aid awarded. Repayment of the loan plus interest must begin within 60 days of receiving the funds. \nSTATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN \nPROGRAM The Georgia Student Finance \nAuthority is the legal entity which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose \"bank\") for about one-third of the student loans in Georgia. The authority provides loans to help students and parents meet the costs of higher education. As a FFELP lender, the authority makes loans to students and parents that are repayable in regular monthly installments and offers service cancellation benefits in Georgia on eligible Federal Stafford loans. Service cancelable loans help students preparing for professions in which there is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their \n548 \n \nloans by working in their approved field in Georgia. \nState funds appropriated to the commission as \"Guaranteed Educational Loans\" are paid to the authority to support this program. The authority expects to make 1,800 loans in F.Y. 1999 with the $4,410,455 recommended. \nGRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS \nState, federal and other funds are appropriated to the commission in several unique object classes to support the grant and scholarship programs of the authority. These programs are as follows: \nStudent Incentive Grant--Nonrepayable educational grants to Georgia citizens enrolled as undergraduate students in approved non-profit postsecondary schools in Georgia These grants are based on need and average $500 per academic year. This program is being phased out beginning in F.Y. 1997. The commission expects to award 1,000 grants in F.Y. 1999 with an appropriation of $500,000. \nTuition Equalization Grant--A state-funded grant program providing an annual grant to each eligible Georgia student attending an approved private college. The recommendation of $27,051,920 for F.Y. 1999 will provide $1,000 grant awards to approximately 27,052 students. \nLaw Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grant (LEPD)--Provides educational grants of up to $2,000 per academic year to the dependent children of a Georgia law enforcement officer, fireman or prison guard who has been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty.

Up to 225 students will receive these grants in F.Y. 1999 with \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nthe $337,500 recommended. Osteopathic Medical Loan-- \n;Provides service-cancelable loans to Georgians accepted for enrollment at an eligible college or university of osteopathic medicine. The loans are based on need with a maximum of $10,000 per year for up to 4 years. A recipient may cancel the loan by practicing primary care osteopathic medicine in a medically underserved area of this state. The $100,000 in state funds recommended for F.Y. 1999 will provide loans to 10 students. \nGeorgia Military Scholarship-Provides assistance to North Georgia College students who are interested in pursuing a military career. Thirty-three freshmen are selected each year to receive fu1l4-year scholarships to North Georgia College.

The new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education in 1987 to provide guidance to public technical institutes operated by the state or by local boards of education. The board was renamed the State Board of Technical and Adult Education in 1988 to govern the newly created Department of Technical and Adult Education. Savannah Tech and Atlanta Tech completed their conversion to state ownership in F.Y. 1998. This provides Georgia with 32 state-governed technical institutes and one locally-governed public technical institute. \nThe Department of Technical and Adult Education plans and administers state postsecondary technical training at less than the baccalaureate degree level in 32 stategoverned technical institutes. In addition to technical training, the department also provides lifelong educational training, basic skills and technician training, and customized training for business and industry. The Department is divided into five functional units which are described below. \nADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services function provides \ngeneral administrative services that include but are not limited to accounting, budgeting, purchasing, property inventory reporting, mail, personnel, computer support and facilities management to the 32 state-governed and one locally-governed technical institute. \nTECHNICAL EDUCATION The responsibilities for this function are twofold. \nFirst, this function manages the operations of the 32 stategoverned technical institutes. Second, this function provides policy guidance to the state-governed technical institutes, the one locally-governed technical institute, and the technical divisions currently housed in four colleges of the University System of Georgia. Institutes are given guidance on program standards, surveys and needs assessments, program evaluations, curriculum development, professional development for staff and faculty, admissions, scholarships, financial aid and federal programs. \nQUICK START Quick Start provides employee training services to new \nand expanding industries at no cost, and provides limited training assistance to non-expanding industries in conjunction with technical schools. In helping to achieve the \n \ndepartment's goal of becoming a major source of skilled employees for the private sector, Quick Start has trained thousands of Georgians for specific jobs needed by companies. Quick Start develops computerized materials and training packages in a number of technical areas that can be readily adapted to specific customer training needs. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's business recruitment and retention efforts. \nADULT LITERACY The Office of Adult Literacy is responsible for \noffering adult basic education and literacy programs around the state including the General Education Development (GED) diploma program. It is the largest literacy provider for other state agencies. The office is also the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education Adult Literacy funds. Through its network of37 Service Delivery Areas around the state, the Office of Adult Literacy provides literacy services to every county in Georgia. \nPUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES The purpose of the public library system in Georgia \nis to provide assistance, information and materials to meet the needs of local communities throughout the state. The Office of Public Library Services (OPLS) assists public libraries in providing access to information, library materials and enriching learning activities for people of all ages. The goals of the public library system are to:  provide access to all types and forms of information;  administer state and federal funds;  provide consultation and advice to the library \ncommunity and local users; and  provide continuing education opportunities for library \nstaff, trustees and local users. The Office of Public Library Services was \ntransferred by legislative act effective July I, 1996 from the Department of Education to the Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Office of Public Library Services provides assistance and information to 57 public library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition to operating the state's Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. \nThe Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped provides public library services for users who are unable to see or otherwise use standard print materials. This library and its network of 13 sub-regional libraries for the blind and physically handicapped are the only sources of recorded and Braille materials for these users. \nAUTHORITY Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n570 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nIt is predicted that in the near future part of every employee's daily work tasks will involve the use of technology. As employers become increasingly reliant on technology in the workplace, employees who have technical skills will be in demand. Equipping students with the technical skills needed to work in environments that rely on technology is the primary service provided by the department. To this end, the department continues to fmd ways to impart technical skills to its students. Listed below are the major strategies the department will employ to provide quality services to its students. \nWEB-BASED INSTRUCTION Beginning this fiscal year, the \ndepartment will officially support the use of information technology as a tool for delivering instruction. The Internet will be used to create a virtual technical institute whereby students statewide will be able to receive technical education instruction. The department requests and the Governor recommends $471,858 for this effort. Funding will provide the technical staff needed to upgrade and prepare the department's information systems for web-based instruction. At present, six technical institutes are leading the development of Internet instruction: Athens Tech, Augusta Tech, Macon Tech, North Georgia Tech, West Georgia Tech and Walker Tech. \nThe courses currently offered include English, math, psychology and computer drafting using AutoCad. The short-term plan is to offer a series of courses that will lead to a technical certificate. The longterm plan is to offer most technical institute courses over the Internet. \n \nFACILITY EXPANSION \n \nDuring \n \nthe \n \nMiller \n \nAdministration, over $204 million has \n \nbeen invested in constructing new \n \ntechnical education facilities at 41 \n \nsites. Additionally, over $86 million \n \nhas been invested in equipment for technical education facilities. These capital investments and operating improvements have significantly changed the capacity of this state to provide every region training for tomorrow's workforce. \nIn this year's budget, the Governor recommends $4,938,853 in state funding to staff and operate 10 new satellites and 3 renovated facilities that received partial funding in F.Y. 1998. A total of $8.2 million in lottery funds is recommended for equipment at these facilities. These 10 satellites are expected to serve over 7,000 students. The estimated cost to fully annualize these openings in F.Y. 2000 is $2,356,777. \nThe Governor recommends $1,378,465 in operating funds for new \n \ntechnical institutes scheduled to open in F.Y. 1999. Over $8.8 million in Lottery funds is recommended for equipment at these facilities. The estimated cost to fully annualize these openings in F.Y. 2000 is $2,914,630. \nFinally, the Governor is recommending $6,000,000 in lottery funds to renovate facilities at North Georgia Tech ($3.6 million) and South Georgia Tech ($2.4 million) and $5 million in G.O. bonds to continue a multi-year facility repair, renovation and maintenance program for the technical institutes. \nQUICK START For over 30 years Quick Start has \nserved as one of Georgia's premier incentives for economic development and job creation through the \n \nFACILITY EXPANSION F.Y. 1999 Recommendations \n \nNew Facilities---Construction Funded in F.Y. 1996 Athens Tech - Elbert County Satellite Augusta Tech - McDuffie County Satellite Lanier Tech - Forsyth County Satellite Macon Tech - Milledgeville Satellite Moultrie Tech - Tift County Satellite \n \nOperating Funds \n$ 55,707 $ 65,329 $ 461,490 \n$ 46,707 \n \nNew Facilities---Construction Funded in F.Y. 1997 Albany Tech - Early County Satellite Altamaha Tech - Appling County Satellite Coosa Valley Tech - Polk County Satellite Heart of Georgia Tech - Eastman Satellite North Georgia Tech - Union County Satellite South Georgia Tech - Crisp County Satellite \n \n$ 333,067 $ 606,729 $ 620,641 $ 239,635 $1,059,907 $ 697,226 \n \nNew Facilities---Construction Funded in F.Y. 1997 Amended Augusta Tech - Burke County Satellite Coosa Valley Tech - Gordon County Satellite II Heart of Georgia Tech - Dublin Training Center Ogeechee Tech Classroom Building \n \n$ 235,465 $ 165,000 $ 408,000 $ 570,000 \n \nRetrofits- Construction Funded in F.Y. 1997 Chattahoochee Tech - Main Building North Georgia Tech - Phase 1 Master Plan Thomas Tech - Retrofit \n*Lottery Funds \n \n$ 552,613 $ 71,833 $ 127,969 \n \nEquipment Funds \n$ 900,000* $1,800,000* $ 400,000* \n$ 425,000* $1,100,000* $ 425,000* $ 425,000* $1,900,000* $ 825,000* \n$3,096,221 * $ 996,491 * $ 900,700* $3,895,891 * \n \n571 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nrecruitment of new business and industry into the state as well as the expansion of jobs in existing Georgia companies. Many companies state that the Quick Start training program is the deciding factor for locating in Georgia. \nQuick Start's operating budget during the Miller Administration has increased steadily from $5,927,866 in F.Y. 1992, to the recommended level of $10,030,398 in F.Y. 1998, a 69% increase. This increase parallels the increase in Quick Start's training projects. During its long and successful tenure, Quick Start has trained over 263,000 employees for over 2,600 companies. 119,584 of these trainees were trained during the Miller Administration, representing a 58% increase over the previous 8 years. Training has encompassed such diverse areas as advanced manufacturing technology, warehousing and distribution, customer service operations and information technology. To keep pace with current customer training needs, Quick Start has also developed and delivered training in quality assurance, ISO 9000, QS 9000, productivity improvement and team skills. In addition, Quick Start supports its customers with work profiling services which provide comprehensive support from \"select the best strategies.\" Through human resource management assistance and many other workforce development initiatives, Quick Start has also played a key role in training employees for international companies locating plants in Georgia. \nCERTIFIED SPECIALISTS Utilizing Quick Start's expertise \nin developing cutting-edge training for Georgia's companies, the department has developed 3 shortterm training programs. These programs will equip participants with skills needed to obtain entry-level employment in the following program areas: Certified Construction Specialist, Certified Customer Service Specialist and Certified Manufacturing Specialist. Developed with input from industry, the courses run \n \nfor 10 weeks and gives the participant the skills to qualify for entry-level employment in the specialty. However, in line with the department's aim for continuing skill improvement, the specialist can continue into a certificate, diploma or degree program offered by the department, and even a four-year bachelor's degree offered through the university system. Initial pilot programs were developed around the state for the Certified Manufacturing Specialist track. To date, over 1,415 participants have been certified. The F.Y. 1999 recommended funding of $677,970 will certify over 850 graduates for all three tracks in the first year. \nLITERACY It is estimated that over 1.4 \nmillion Georgians have literacy skills below the eighth grade. This is a concern considering limited literacy skills can translate into unemployment, poverty, welfare, crime and substance abuse. In an effort to prevent life situations that can limit the quality of life for Georgians, the department works statewide to provide literacy instruction. Since the beginning of Governor Miller's tenure, the department has placed a special emphasis on literacy resulting in the award of over 100,000 General Educational Development diplomas. More than $27.5 million has been appropriated for special initiatives including providing a 1 full-time literacy teacher for every county in the state. These full-time literacy teachers help increase student enrollment and expand the hours of operation for many literacy programs. For F.Y. 1999, $562,596 is recommended for 110 part-time adult literacy teachers to improve the delivery of instructional services by offering classes at varied times during the day and evening. Over 4,600 additional students will receive instruction as a result of this funding. \n572 \n \nGOVERNOR'S BOOK INITIATIVE \nReaders will be especially interested in this proposal. In addition to the 56 cents per capita that the Governor and the Legislature usually provide to public libraries for books, Governor Miller recommends a onetime $10 million book package in F.Y. 1998 Amended to build library holdings and encourage reading around the state. Grants for books will be distributed to libraries according to population and circulation figures. Systems with more avid readers will get more books than other systems. \nBased on average book prices and the assumption that systems will use half the money for adult books and the other half for children's books, the $10 million will add over 450,000 books to Georgia libraries. Including the normal annual per capita allocation, Governor Miller will provide our public libraries with state resources to purchase well over 600,000 books. When combined with funding in the Department of Education, this initiative will provide 1,000,000 new books for Georgia readers. \nCHILDREN'S READING INITIATIVE \nEvery community in Georgia offers some kind of summer reading program. Summer reading programs have themes around which children pick their selections and activities that go along with their reading. Although these programs are very popular, they reach only a fraction of the children who could benefit. All public libraries would like to offer expanded programs; however, creating a reading program takes time and other resources that typically are in short supply at libraries. \nGovernor Miller proposes to, invest $100,000 in F.Y. 1998 Amended to contract with a person or persons to work at the state level to produce marketing materials, creative, supplemental materials, resource lists and activity packages around the themes librarians are interested in \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \npursuing. These materials and packages can be used for many years, celieving local librarians of many of the time-consuming tasks associated with summer reading programs. \nLibraries also need funds for ,special interest activities that get young readers excited about literature in its various forms. The contract person(s) will have a fund of $100,000 (F.Y. 1998 Amended) for which libraries could apply to have storytellers, writers, artists and other resources bring literature alive locally. \nAlthough libraries' main emphasis on children's reading occurs during the summer, the Governor's recommendation has the potential to increase interest in reading year round. This $200,000 investment in children's reading activities, coupled with the Governor's book initiative and the weekly Georgia Public Television (GPTV) show (also in this year's recommendations) will benefit libraries and the children of Georgia for years to come. \nGALILEO AND INTERNET ACCESS \nThe Georgia Library Learning Online (GALILEO), the University \n \nSystem's statewide electronic library system, project was started as an initiative of the Board of Regents. This year, public libraries and technical institutes worked with representatives from Regents' institutions and private and public secondary schools to select a common set of databases for the state. As a result, GALILEO now provides a set of over 100 databases that index thousands of periodicals and journals nd provide access to over 2,000 journals in full text. In addition, it includes an encyclopedia, business directories and government publications. Links are also provided to Georgia law and many state agency homepages. This electronic database has made a common set of information available to all students as well as residents throughout the state through school and local libraries. The GALILEO databases were originally available at 56 library system headquarters plus other branch locations around the state. Thanks to the Governor's Internet connectivity initiative, 101 additional counties will be connected to PeachNet and GALILEO during F.Y. 1998. \n \nGeorgia citizens will have access to the Internet and a wide variety of information resources at over 157 libraries around Georgia. F.Y. 1999 funding includes $1,504,953 to annualize the cost for Internet! GALILEO sites at the public libraries and $519,000 to annualize the cost for Internet!GALILEO sites at state technical institutions and satellite facilities. \nOTHER INITIATIVES The Governor is recommending \n$515,200 for Savannah Tech and $1,126,540 for Atlanta Tech to complete the second of the 2-year phase-in to bring these institutes under state management. Additionally, $7,370,000 in G.O. bonds is recommended for major repairs and renovations at Savannah Tech and Atlanta Tech. Finally, $563,446 is made available for new instructional programs at state, local and Regents' institutions. Moreover, $1,295,043 is recommended in Lottery funds for instructional equipment for these new programs. \n \n573 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n

The department also provides administrative support to the State Tollway Authority and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority. \nThe department is governed by a board comprised of representatives from each of the state's congressional districts. The state representatives and senators from each congressional district elect that district's board member. The board in tum appoints a commissioner to lead the department. \nThe great majority of the department's resources are directed toward maintaining and improving the state's network of roads and bridges. Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally earmarked solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. Non-road and bridge construction projects are supported by a combination of state general funds, federal funds and local funds. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS The department's organization chart is based on \nspecific processes or responsibilities such as personnel, planning, engineering and construction. However, the department's budget is divided into functions that may include the activities of several organizational divisions. These functions are discussed below. \nPLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION--Plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the state highway system. As part of this overall responsibility, personnel provide a long-range state multi-modal transportation plan and long-range plans for urban areas; maintain an approved construction work program of priority projects; perform location and environmental studies; conduct mapping and photogrammetric surveys; acquire rights-of-way necessary to construct and maintain highways; supervise all construction and maintenance activities let to contract; ensure the quality of materials used in construction; and conduct research to improve planning and engineering methods. \nMAINTENANCE AND BETTERMENTS-Responible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges of the state highway system. The goal of this function is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by programming and supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects let to contract; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance such as emergency repairs; making spot \n \nimprovements and safety modification; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement failures, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining warning and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; operating and maintaining state visitor information centers; issuing permits for special vehicles such as oversized and overweight carriers; and enforcing Georgia's special vehicle regulations. \nADMINISTRATION-Provides executive management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions for the department. \nFACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT--Used as a separate budget function for new and replacement equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's various operations. \nINTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES--Provides funding and administration of public transportation programs, Le., buses and vans, provided under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964; provides funding and administration of light density rail rehabilitation and for the construction and signage of statewide Park and Ride lots; provides departmental fmancial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance and other services as needed; maintains and updates the state airport system plan; publishes and distributes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and provides management assistance and technical expertise to local governments to develop, maintain and improve scheduled air service. \nAIR TRANSPORTATION--Operates aircraft for use by state officials in conducting state business and also performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or road and bridge improvement. \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE--Concerned with the department's role with assisting Chatham County, designated as the local assurer, in fulfilling its responsibility for the provision and maintenance of lands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage of dredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer. \nAUTHORITY Titles 6 and 32 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n585 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe \n \nDepartment \n \nof \n \nTransportation's historic focus has \n \nbeen on building and maintaining the \n \nstate's network of roads and bridges. \n \nThe vast majority of its funds, both \n \nstate and federal, are dedicated to this \n \npurpose. \n \nIndeed, Georgia is \n \nrecognized nationally as having a \n \nsuperior highway system. A primary \n \nreason for both the emphasis on roads \n \nand their excellent condition is the \n \nstate's constitutional requirement that \n \nall proceeds derived from state motor \n \nvehicle fuel taxes are dedicated solely \n \nto road and bridge projects. In F.Y. \n \n1997, actual collections of motor fuel \n \ntaxes increased by $24.7 million, a \n \n4.3% increase over collections for the \n \nprevious year. As a result, motor fuel \n \nfunds available to the department for \n \nF.Y. 1998 amount to over $558 \n \nmillion, and when combined with an \n \nadditional $587 million in federal \n \nhighway funds, provide the \n \ndepartment with a substantial amount \n \nof funding to fulfill its responsibility \n \nas the caretaker of the state's highway \n \nsystem. \n \nHIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION/ HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE \nOver the past decade the state has spent well over $5 billion to construct, reconstruct and widen more than 8,203 lane-miles of road. In F.Y. 1998 alone, approximately $700 million worth of construction contracts is budgeted for 3,200 miles of state roads at an average expenditure of $218,718 per mile of road improvement. In addition, 100 bridges are expected to be let to contract in F.Y. 1998 at a cost of $98 million. \nImproved highway facilities are necessary to satisfy the transportation needs of a growing population and to encourage continued economic growth. One of the department's key economic development related programs is the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP). This ambitious program is intended to add four-lane highways to every section of the state and would place 98 \n \npercent of the state within 20 miles of a four-lane road. As envisioned, this developmental highway system would add 2,697 miles of four-lane highways throughout the state. \nDuring Governor Miller's administration, the state has appropriated over $860 million for GRIP, an annual average of approximately $125 million primarily through the use of 20-year general obligation bonds. A total of $25 million in motor fuel funds and $125 million in bonds was appropriated to support GRIP projects in the F.Y. 1997 general budget and F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget respectively. The Governor is recommending $135 million in bonds for F.Y. 1999 to continue funding for GRIP initiatives. As of November 1997, 1,360 milesor 55% of all corridors - of road have been completed or are under construction through GRIP. \nIn addition to substantial funding for GRIP, the Governor is recommending $15.7 million in motor fuel funding in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget for the four-Ianing and multi-Ianing program, which will push funding for this program to the $37.7 million level. The four-Ianing and multi-Ianing program is designed to address the need for passing lanes on the state road system throughout Georgia. A total of $15 million in bonds and $7 million in cash was authorized in the F.Y. 1998 appropriation for this program. \nThe Governor is recommending $7.7 million in the F.Y. 1999 budget to be used on projects of greatest need. The greatest need program is particularly important for industry location and special economic development needs throughout the state. In addition to economic development related initiatives, the greatest need program can also undertake other projects that address congestion and safety concerns as identified by the department or other state and local entities. The $7.7 million recommendation in conjunction with federal funds will \n \nprovide $35 million for this program, which gives the department maximum flexibility in addressing a wide variety of road needs. A total of $17 million in state motor fuel funds was authorized in the F.Y. 1998 appropriation for this program. \nThe department also aids local governments in the construction of local roads off the state system through the county contracts program. This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems. The county contracts program is recommended at a funding level of $28,500,000 in F.Y. 1999 and will assist in the construction of approximately 1,900 miles of road. \nThe department's assistance to local governments also includes resurfacing off-system roads and replacing and/or rehabilitating deficient local bridges. The Local Assistance Road Program (LARP), funded in the annual amount of $38.6 million for the past several fiscal years, is a key factor in local governments' ability to make improvements to their roads and bridges. \nMaintaining Georgia's highways is a critical responsibility of the department. The department not only maintains the roads and bridges on the state's 17,898 mile highway system, but also helps local governments improve city and county roads off the state system. The department endeavors to resurface or reseal approximately 10 percent, or 1,790 miles of the state highway system annually, at a budgeted cost of $65,000 per mile for F.Y. 1998 and an annual cost totaling $116.4 million. In addition, the department conducts routine maintenance of the system, including its roadway surfaces, shoulders, drainage systems, , bridges, traffic services, roadside parks and rest areas at an average cost of $28,000 per mile. \n \n586 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nAIR TRANSPORTATION \n \nThe state airport system is \n \ntlefmed in tenns of its capacity and \n \ncapability to serve the needs of the \n \ngeneral aviation industry. The \n \ndegree of success of Georgia's public \n \nairports is a direct function of the \n \ncapability of the airports to meet \n \nexisting and future aviation mobility \n \nneeds. If the needs are well-served, \n \nregional and local economies will \n \nhave a broader window of opportunity \n \nto be strengthen and revitalized. By \n \nvirtue of the benefits from activities \n \nassociated with the use of aviation \n \nand aviation related services, more \n \nareas of Georgia will have a \n \ncompetitive advantage in attracting \n \nindustry and stimulating long-tenn \n \neconomic \n \ndevelopment \n \nin \n \ncommunities that might not otherwise \n \nhave had opportunities for growth and \n \ndevelopment. \n \nThe department's Airport Aid \n \nProgram provides state funding \n \nassistance for capital improvements \n \nand for the maintenance of \n \noperational and safety requirements at \n \nGeorgia's 103 publicly owned \n \nairports. Projects include construction \n \nof new or extended runways, \n \ntaxiways, aircraft parking aprons, and \n \nnew lighting systems. The program \n \nalso addresses critical airport needs \n \nsuch as pavement maintenance, \n \nobstruction removal, and visual and \n \nelectronic navigational approach aids. \n \nState general funds are used to match \n \nfederal and local funding for projects \n \nwhich enhance local economic \n \ndevelopment and improve the state \n \ntransportation infrastructure. \n \nThe Governor is recommending \n \n$35 million in state general funds in \n \nthe F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget for \n \nthe Airport Aid Program to expand \n \n27 regional general aviation airports \n \nto the top rating level needed by \n \ncorporate jets. The general aviation \n \nairports slated for expansion and/or \n \nupgrade to regional status will be \n \nsupported through the allocation of \n \n$35 million in the fonn of grants. \n \nApproximately $26 million of the \n \ntotal allocation will be used for \n \ncapital improvements to upgrade 20 \n \ngeneral aviation airports to the top \n \nrating level (Level III). These upgrades, which are designed to accommodate fleets for business purposes and have a regional impact, entail projects that extend runways to a minimum of 5,500 feet to meet capacity requirement for most corporate and sophisticated jets; install navigational aids for precision approaches; construct larger tenninals; and increase services to include fuel, maintenance, and rental cars. \nThe remaining $9 million in state supported grants is to be utilized for maintenance and operational improvements at existing Level III regional airports. This $35 million investment will place almost all of Georgia within a 45 minute drive of a Level III general aviation airport. \nThe Governor is also recommending $2.24 million in the F.Y. 1999 budget to address critical airport navigational and maintenance needs at the remaining public airports not slated for upgrades or expansion. This commitment of state fund support for publicly owned airports will place Georgia second among southeastern states behind only Florida in state funding assistance for airports. \nGEORGIA RAIL PASSENGER AUTHORITY \nAlthough the law creating the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority has existed in the Georgia Code since 1985, the authority was initially appointed during the Miller administration. The authority was created for the purpose of construction, fmancing, operation and development of rail passenger service and other public transportation projects in Georgia. The Governor recommended and the Legislature approved an increase in the authority's budget of $145,000 in F.Y. 1997 to begin implementation of a commuter rail plan to link downtown Atlanta with outlying areas through the use of existing freight rail lines. \nCommuter rail and inter-city passenger rail offer a long tenn \n587 \n \nstrategy for addressing metro Atlanta's air quality problems and traffic congestion. Commuter rail can have a significant impact on air quality and traffic problems, keeping metro Atlanta an attractive place for business locations and ensuring its continued strength as a business center into the next millenium. Intercity rail can extend Atlanta's success as a business center to other cities in Georgia and can help Atlanta handle some of its growth pressure. Atlanta can provide Macon, Athens and other Georgia cities national and international business opportunities if good rail connections are established to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield Airport. \nTo this end, the Governor is recommending that $4.55 million be appropriated in the F.Y. 1998 Amended Budget to continue implementation of the commuter rail and inter-city rail plan that provides commuter rail services between Atlanta and Athens, with service to Atlanta's northeast suburbs and intercity rail service from Atlanta to Macon, with connections to Hartsfield Airport. A total of $4 million in bonds was appropriated in the 1997 Amended Budget to the department to work with the Passenger Authority in securing the preliminary design for the Macon rail line. State funds will be utilized to provide environmental impact analyses and design and engineering of both Macon and Athens rail lines and will leverage over $5 million in federal funds based on federal/state matching ratio requirements. An additional $80,000 is recommended by the Governor for F.Y. 1999 to initiate a statewide community awareness campaign for the rail plan project. \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE Providing a safe passage for \ninternational shipping lines using Georgia's ports is an ever-increasing effort by the department. The world's shipping lines continue to increase the size of their ships, requiring ports to provide increasingly deeper channels to accommodate the larger vessels. \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nThe u.s. Army Corps of Engineers \nremoves dredged material from the Savannah River channel which is deposited in diked areas. This is an ongoing process that requires the department to take care of dike construction and harbor maintenance. \n \nUnderstanding the importance of Georgia ports to the state's economy, Governor Miller, during his Administration, has committed over $24 million in state funds for dike construction and spoilage area expansion. Additionally, Governor \n \nMiller has included in his F.Y. 1999 budget recommendations $11.7 million in general obligation bonds for construction to raise the front harbor dikes and related maintenance and repair work of the disposal areas. \n \nCounties with Airport Expansion Sumter \nHabersham Coffee Laurens Troup Floyd Barrow Decatur Early Carroll Newton \nWhitfield Dodge Hall Wayne \nJefferson Baldwin Coweta Bulloch Upson Thomas McDuffie \nTift Toombs \nWare Gordon Union \n \nGeographic Locations \n \n588 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nPUBLIC ROAD NETWORK \n \nPURPOSE: To provide roadway users a public road infrastructure that is consistent with the state's overall agenda to enhance opportunities for economic growth and quality of life.

Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about all available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled. \nVETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state approving agency for the federally sponsored \nVeterans Education Assistance Program, the department is responsible for approving and supervising all institutions (including public and private schools and establishments offering on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs) in Georgia which participate in this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service also inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are met. In F.Y. 1997, the department conducted 1,295 inspections of veteran educational and training programs; inspections for F.Y. 1998 are projected to reach 1,350. This function is 100 percent federally funded and employs seven staff. \nINSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates two \ninstitutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the 540-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres of land. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (i.e. building limited to simple lodging). The facility is staffed and operated through a contract with a private vendor. \nA second facility is maintained in Augusta. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is staffed by 209 employees and operated through a contract with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. At this 192bed facility, physicians and medical students provide a complex range of services and nursing care to sick and disabled veterans. \nGOVERNING AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Department of Veterans Service is governed by the \nseven-member Veterans Service Board appointed by the Governor, with confirmation by the Senate. The day-to-day operation of the department is the responsibility of the Commissioner who is appointed by the Board for a four-year term. The Department is required by law to: \n \nlaws and local ordinances. \n Assist all veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries in the preparation and processing of claims with the appropriate federal agencies. \n Report to the appropriate federal or state agency any instances of incompetence, dishonesty or neglect of duty by any employee or agency dealing with veterans' affairs. \n Maintain complete copies of all records on veterans filing claims for benefits through the department. \n Advise the Board, the Governor, and the General Assembly as to needed veterans legislation. \nAUTHORITY Title 38-4, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; Chapter 36, Title 38, United States Code. \n \nVeterans Nursing Home and Domiciliary \n \n250,000 \n \nTotal Patient Days \n \n200,000 \n \n150,000 \n \n100,000 \n \n50,000 \no \n1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 Fiscal Year \no Veterans Home - Augusta \nfill Veterans Domiciliary - Milledgeville \nI I Veterans Home - Milledgeville \n \n Generally promote and protect the rights of Georgia veterans under all state and federal laws. \n Furnish information to all veterans of all wars as to their rights and benefits under federal and state \n598 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Veterans Service regularly prepares and distributes news releases, radio programs, and technical bulletins on yeterans' benefits, changes in laws, and proper procedures for filing claims. Also the Commissioner, other department staff and field office managers make personal appearances before veterans' organizations throughout the state to explain veteran rights and benefits and the assistance available from the department. \nVETERANS ASSISTANCE In addition to the central office in \nAtlanta, the department maintains a claims processing staff at the regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Atlanta and 48 field offices or satellite branches across the state. At these locations, agency personnel assist and advise veterans and their families in several ways. Assistance is given in initiating, filing and processing of claims. When necessary, the department will represent veterans before claims or appellate boards. Veterans are also assisted in securing social security and related benefits. \n \nAdditionally, assistance is provided in securing burial benefits, in arranging for the burial of eligible veterans in national cemeteries and. in securing flags and grave markers. In F.Y. 1997, the department processed 597,365 requests for assistance; it is projected that this number will increase to 600,000 in F.Y. 1998. \nGEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME - MILLEDGEVILLE \nIn F.Y. 1997, the Department of Veterans Service privatized the operation of the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville. During the first year of privatization, nearly $7,000,000 were saved in operating costs while continuing to provide high quality standards of care for Georgia veterans. In F.Y. 1998, the facility will provide an estimated 161,000 days of patient care. As the veteran population has aged the acuity level (or level of care) of the skilled nursing patients has also increased significantly. In 1989, approximately 40 percent of the skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 80 percent require this intensive level of care. \nIn addition to the skilled nursing \n \ncomponent, the Pete Wheeler Domiciliary provides living accommodations and minimal medical care to veterans who are able to maintain some level of independence in carrying out their daily living. A patient exercise program has been implemented throughout the home to increase physical activity with an anticipated reduction in patient falls and injuries. \nGEORGIA VETERANS NURSING HOME - AUGUSTA \nIn F.Y. 1998, this facility will provide an estimated 63,875 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation. In addition, the facility provides educational experience to students of the various schools comprising the Medical College of Georgia. Through this association, the nursing home is allowed access to technology and expertise not readily available to other skilled nursing facilities. These resources have enabled the home to become a leader in long-term care training and research. \n \nVeterans Request for Assistance \n \n599 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nVETERANS ASSISTANCE \nPURPOSE: Assist Georgia veterans to obtain all benefits to which they are legally entitled in recognition of their military service. \n \nGOALS Provide information and assistance to eligible veterans and their dependents so that they can obtain state and federal benefits.

All employers, with three or more full-time or part-time employees, are required to obtain workers' compensation coverage through either private insurers or programs of self-insurance for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment. The only employees exempt are: federal government employees, railroad employees, farmers, farm hands, domestic servants, business partners, some corporate executives and independent contractors. \nThe Board administers the law to assure that injured workers are receiving the services and benefits to which they are entitled by the law in a timely and appropriate manner. The benefits provided include medical payments, a portion of wage replacement, catastrophic rehabilitation and others. Rights granted an employee under the law preclude any other legal remedies under an employer by an employee due to a work-related injury. \nThe Board regulates specific benefits to injured employees without regard for negligence or fault and guarantees protection for the employers through the exclusive remedy protection. However, claims are not paid if the cause of the injury is the result of the use of alcohol or a controlled substance. The injured employee can be tested within three hours, or eight hours from the time of the injury for alcohol or controlled substances, respectively. \nBOARD RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of the Board are classified as quasi- \njudicial, administrative and regulatory. The quasi-judicial responsibilities include hearing cases on appeal and approving settlements. The chairperson of the three-member Board is \n \nthe chief appellate administrative law judge. The administrative and regulatory responsibilities range from developing policy, promulgating regulations and developing and submitting the agency's budget request. \nSome specific responsibilities of the Board include:  Promulgating and adopting policies and rules.  Approving applications of insurance companies to write workers' compensation policies in Georgia and applications of employers to act as selfinsurers.  Ensuring that employers maintain required insurance coverage.  Reviewing and monitoring claims and settlements to ensure compliance with the law.  Resolving disputes between claimants and employers.  Publishing and distributing information about rights, benefits, and obligations under the workers' compensation law to employers and employees.  Approving fees of physicians and charges of hospitals and other providers of services paid by workers' compensation insurers and self-insurers. \nTo monitor the administration of the Workers' Compensation Law and fulfill these responsibilities, the chief executive authority for the Board rests with its chairperson, with administrative functions entrusted to an executive director appointed by the Board. The three member Board is appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. \nAUTHORITY 34-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n200000 \n \nNumber of Claims Reviewed \n \n183,311 \n \n190,000 \n \n190,000 \n \n150000 \n \n100000 \n \n50000 \no \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 Fiscal Years \n608 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nCurrently, the State Board of Workers' Compensation provides services for approximately 186,000 employers and 3.4 million workers. Annually, approximately 180,000 lost-time claims are filed as well as 50,000 medical only claims. Eight percent or less of these cases are litigated. \nThose claims requiring an evidentiary hearing are heard by an administrative law judge in a courtlike proceeding. Hearings are held in the county where the injury occurred, in an adjoining county, or in a county within 50 miles of where the injury occurred. The award is generally issued in the claim 30 to 60 days following the hearing. In addition to the state office in Atlanta, the board has eight field offices that house the Administrative Law Judges and legal secretaries who handle disputes in their designated areas. These field offices are located in Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Rome, and Savannah. \nIf either party is dissatisfied with the decision of the judge, the party may appeal to the three-member board. During calendar year 1996, 961 appellate hearings were scheduled before the full board. Further appeals may be taken through the court system. \nFRAUD AND COMPLIANCE UNIT \nIt is estimated that as many as half of the employers in Georgia who are required to carry workers' compensation coverage do not do so. This puts legitimate employers at a competitive disadvantage, skews the premium for the pool of insured employers and leaves thousands of workers without required coverage. In response, the Board established the Fraud and Compliance Division to respond to complaints regarding uninsured employers and fraudulent claims. The Division's primary goal has been to identify non-compliant employers and apply penalties as \n \nprovided in statute. Furthermore, local district attorneys are also brought in to assist in the prosecution of the misdemeanor and felony offenses discovered. \nThe Division also educates and assists businesses, medical providers and others who are involved in workers' compensation to achieve a climate which will assure that legitimately injured workers receive benefits allowable under the Workers' Compensation Law. \nAs a direct result of the increased publicity surrounding fraud and non-compliance, the Division was divided into an investigations section and compliance section. While the investigators are located in the Atlanta office, the compliance officers are assigned strategically across the state to assure maximum effectiveness as well as to provide technical support to the investigators. \nALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION UNIT \nThe Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) unit is a forum used to resolve issues that do not require a formal hearing. The unit has been expanded to accommodate the dramatic increase in the number of cases submitted for mediation and other resolution issues without a hearing. Request for legal actions are being screened and diverted by the Screening and Administration unit to the ADR unit (based on legal action requested), which provides for a more cost-effective and timely resolution of disputed issues. Cases resolved in this manner will not require hearings, nor will appeals be filed. The unit handles over 500 cases per month that would otherwise be assigned to the Trial Section. \nMANAGED HEALTH CARE There is a legislative \nprovision for board certified Workers' Compensation Managed Care Organizations to serve as an option for the delivery of medical services to injured workers. Therefore, any \n \nhealth care provider or group of \n \nmedical services providers may \n \nsubmit an application to the board to \n \nbecome certified to provide services \n \nto injured workers. In order to be \n \ncertified, the managed health care \n \nplan must include: appropriate \n \nfmancial incentives to reduce service \n \ncosts and utilization without \n \nsacrificing the quality of service; \n \nadequate methods of peer review and \n \nservice utilization review to prevent \n \ninappropriate or excessive treatment; \n \nand efforts to promote services that \n \nwill contribute to workplace health \n \nand safety. \n \nThe National \n \nCommission of Compensation \n \nInsurance estimates that plans such as \n \nthese can result in up to a 12% \n \npremium reduction. \n \nAs of November 1997, 30 \n \norganizations filed applications with \n \nthe board for certification. A total of \n \n17 organizations have been certified. \n \nIt is anticipated that within the next \n \nthree to five years the majority of \n \nGeorgia's injured employees will \n \naccess medical treatment through \n \nservices provided by certified \n \nmanaged care organizations. To \n \npromote success within this system, \n \nquality assurance measures have been \n \nimplemented. These measures \n \ninclude compliance audits and \n \nparticipant surveys to measure \n \nsatisfaction levels and assess \n \noutcomes. \n \n609 \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \n \nWORKERS' COMPENSATION SERVICES \nPURPOSE: To fairly administer workers' compensation by ensuring no-fault medical and indemnity benefits for injured employees and by protecting employers from tort liability. \n \nGOALS \nEnsure access to medical care for all workers injured on the job so that those workers can return to work. \n \nF.Y.1999 DESIRED RESULTS \nEighty-five percent of workers injured at work will return to work within a year oftheir injuries. \nThe number of workdays lost by each employee with a workrelated injury in 1996 will remain at the FY 1995 average level of 53 workdays. \n \nControl the growth of Workers Compensation costs by developing reasonable fee schedules and specialized managed care programs. \nEnsure correct and timely payment of all entitled benefits to injured workers by employers and insurers. \n \nThe per capita cost ofmedical care for injured workers will increase 20% or less over FY 1998 costs. \nThe percent of injured workers receiving their first weekly payment on the twenty-first day after their injury will increase from 80% to 85% in F.Y. 1999. \n \nEnsure prompt due process to any party in a workers' compensation case by providing a judicial forum to address legal complaints with a trial level decision and by evaluating settlement agreements. \nIncrease communications and improve relations between private industry and all users of the workers' compensation system. \n \nThe number of cases that are settled without the need for a formal hearing will increase by 2% in F.Y. 1999. \nTrial decisions for 85% of workers' compensation cases will be rendered within 60 days of the initial trial. \nIncrease the number of employers who attend Board sponsored workers' compensation seminars by 5% over the previous fiscal year. \nEighty percent of employer attendees will be satisfied with the Board sponsored workers' compensation seminars. \n \n610 \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nResults-Based Budgeting \n \nAGENCY PROGRAMS 1.

\n \n686 \n \n IMPACT OF CAPITAL OUTLAY PROGRAM ON THE F.Y. 1999 RECOMMENDED BUDGET \nThe Capital Outlay Program consists of projects and activities to: acquire property; procure equipment; develop and construct new facilities and structures; renovate, enlarge, enhance, preserve, and improve existing facilities and structures; and conduct major repairs to ensure capital assets achieve their service life. Funding is considered in the Capital Outlay Program for projects that are primarily facility related, non-recurring on an annual basis, and it is deemed desirable to request and recommend funding separate from the operating budget for ongoing agency expenses. For example, annual motor vehicle replacements and other routine equipment needs are usually funded as part of an agency's general operating budget. \nThe Capital Outlay Program impacts the state's operating budget through a mix of debt service payments for bondfunded projects and \"pay-as-you-go\" financing using lottery and cash revenues. Also, as completed capital projects become operational, there may be associated additional operating expenses. The following table summarizes the impact of the Capital Outlay Program on the F.Y. 1999 Recommended Budget. \n \nGeneral Obligation Debt Sinking Fund Existing Obligations, Issued Debt Service Bond Funded F.Y. 1999 Projects, New Debt Service Subtotal, Debt \nCash Funded KY. 1999 Projects \nF.Y. 1999 Additional Operating Cost of Newly Completed State Projects \nTotal \n \n355,253,170 63,093,540 \n418,346,710 263,641,174 \n56,160,000 738,147,884 \n \nIn summary, $738 million of the F.Y. 1999 Recommended Budget directly supports the Capital Outlay Program, representing 5.9 percent of the total F.Y. 1999 Recommended Budget. Also, as the major capital projects recommended in F.Y. 1999 are completed, there will be additional operating expenses in future years. The total future additional operational impact of the recommended F.Y. 1999 capital projects is estimated at $23 million on an annual basis. \nThe state has developed and maintains a sound debt management plan, overseen by a Debt Management Advisory Committee, for the effective and prudent use of debt in addressing Georgia's growing capital needs. In recognition of the state's sound fiscal policies, moderate debt levels well within constitutional and statutory controls, conservative revenue estimates, a diverse and strong economy, and responsive leadership, the state currently enjoys trip1e-A ratings from Moody's, Fitch, and Standard \u0026 Poor's. \n \n687 \n \n FINANCING CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT \n \nIn November of 1972, the voters of the State of Georgia approved a comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of 1945 (Ga. Laws 1972, p. 1523, et seq.), which pennitted the state to fmance its needs directly through the issuance of general obligation debt. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the state's capital outlay needs were met through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate state authorities and secured by lease rental agreements between the authorities and various state departments and agencies. The provisions of the amendment were implemented by the General Assembly in 1973 with the enactment ofthe act, and the constitutionality of the new system of state fmancing was favorably adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a decision rendered on July 16,1974, in Sears v. State ofGeorgia, 232 Ga. 547 (1974). In November of 1982, the voters of the State of Georgia ratified anew state constitution which became effective July 1, 1983, and such new constitution continues the amendment in full force and effect. \nGeo..gia State Financing and Investment Commission \nThe commission is an agency and instrumentality of the state and its members are the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. \nThe commission is responsible for the issuance of all public debt of the state, including general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. The commission is further responsible for the proper application ofthe proceeds of such debt to the pwposes for which it is incurred. \n \nThe commission has two statutory divisions, a Financing and Investment Division and a Construction Division, each administered by a director who reports directly to the commission. The Financing and Investment Division perfonns all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay pwposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto. The Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay pwposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing, planning, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor. \n \n688 \n \n CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BOND LIMITATIONS \n \nThe State of Georgia's Constitution and various laws set limits on the indebtedness that can be incurred by the state and its various institutions, departments, and agencies. The following describes these limits and also provides certain selected budgetary and fmancial data. \n \nAppropriations and Debt Limitations \nArticle III, Section IX, Paragraph IV(b) of the Constitution of the State of Georgia (the \"Constitution\") provides: \n\"The General Assembly shall not appropriate fimds for any given fiscal year which, in aggregate, exceed a sum equal to the amount of unappropriated surplus expected to have accrued in the state treasury at the beginning of the fiscal year together with an amount not greater than the total treasury receipts from existing revenue sources anticipated to be collected in the fiscal year, less refimds, as estimated in the budget report and amendments thereto. Supplementary appropriations, if any, shall be made in the manner provided in Paragraph V of this section of the Constitution; but in no event shall a supplementary Appropriations Act continue in force and effect beyond the expiration of the General Appropriations Act in effect when such supplementary Appropriations Act was adopted and approved.\" \nArticle VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(c), (d), (e), and (f) of the Constitution provides that the state may incur public debt of two types for public purposes: general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt.

Estimating future cost of actions taken in any budget year should be an integral part of the budget decision making process. Agencies were asked to include Fiscal Year 2000 estimates of their redirection budget level and future operating costs associated with capital outlay projects.

Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the department level. \nThe appropriated budget covers most governmental funds included in the state reporting entity but excludes the special revenue fund, capital project funds. and certain debt service funds which are not subject to appropriation. The budget includes certain proprietary funds, the college and university funds, and the administrative cost of operating certain employee retirement systems. \nAll unencumbered annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end unless otherwise specified by constitutional or statutory provisions. Supplementary and amended appropriations may be enacted during the next legislative session by the same process used for original appropriations. \nEncumbrances are used to indicate the intent to purchase goods or services. Liabilities and expenditures are recorded upon issuance of completed purchase orders. Goods or services need not have been received for liabilities and expenditures to be recorded. \nACCOUNTING \nThe accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is detennined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds and expendable trust funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing resources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other fmancing uses) in net current assets. \nAll proprietary funds, nonexpendable trust funds and pension trust funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary fund \n \ntype operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues; and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets. \nThe modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all governmental fund types, expendable trust funds and agency funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). \"Measurable\" means the amount of the transaction can be detennined and \"available\" collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Principal revenue sources which are susceptible to accrual include income taxes, sales and use taxes, federal grants and shared revenues. \nRevenues applicable to expenditure-driven programs, however, may be accrued based on the unexecuted portion of contracts for goods and services. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, as required by general accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with the exception of year-end encumbrances which are recorded as expenditures rather than as a reservation of fund balance. Principal and interest on generallong-tenn debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt service fund for payments to be made early in the subsequent fiscal year. \nThe accrual basis of accounting, as required by GAAP, is utilized by proprietary fund types, nonexpendable trust funds and pension trust funds with the exception of certain individual pension trust funds and internal service funds (risk management funds) which are reported essentially on the cash basis. \nUnder the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Depreciation of fixed assets has not been reported for all funds included within the proprietary fund types as required by GAAP. \nThe College and University Funds are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting (which is materially the same as the accrual basis of accounting applicable to colleges and universities), with the exception that contractual obligations for services which have not been perfonned and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities in fmancial statements prepared by the State Auditor. \nAs permitted by generally accepted accounting principles for colleges and universities, no depreciation is provided for the physical properties. \n \n697 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nADJUSTED BASE-The beginning point for development of the state budget for F.Y. 1999. The adjusted base consists of the F.Y. 1998 Annual Operating Budget, less non-recurring expenditures, plus the amount to annualize the F.Y. 1998 pay forperfonnance. \nAGENCY FUNDS-Funds collected by the various agencies of state government and retained to be spent on agency programs. These ftmds 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. \nALLOTMENT: The authorization for a state agency to withdraw ftmds from the state treasury for expenditure. Before each fiscal year begins, agencies must :fIle an annual operating budget plan based on an Appropriations Act. Allotments are requested quarterly based on the plan. Once a quarterly allotment is approved for an agency, that agency can draw ftmds as needed. \nAMENDED 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 ftmds within agency object classes. Also known as the \"supplemental budget\" or the \"little budget.\" \nANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET (AOB}-A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriations Act, by agency and ftmctional 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. \nANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMEND-MENTRevisions to the annual operating budget which must be submitted to OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of ftmding that was not included during the appropriations process or transfer of ftmds from one activity/ftmction to another. \nAPPROPRIATION-An authorization by the General Assembly to a state agency to spend, from public ftmds, a sum of money not in excess of the sum specified for the purposes in the authorization. \nAPPROPRIATIONS ACT-Legislation that has been passed by the General Assembly to authorize expenditure of state, federal and other ftmds during a given fiscal year. While under consideration, it is called an appropriations bill. \n \nATTACHED AGENCIES-Small agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for \"administrative purposes only\" to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. These small agencies operate autonomously but receive ftmding 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. \nATTRITION-A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than filling them with new employees. \nAUSTERITY REDUCTIONS-Spending cuts throughout all departments of state government as a result of slower growth in revenues than expected, resulting in projected shortfalls in anticipated revenue growth. \nAUTHORITY-A public corporation fonned 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. \nBUDGET-A complete fmancial plan for a specific fiscal year as proposed in the Governor's Budget Report and as modified and adopted by appropriations and revenue acts. \nBUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY AND PLANNING ACT-An Act passed by the 1993 General Assembly that ftmdamentally 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 directors which have been outlined in comprehensive strategic plans for the state and each of its agencies. Through the implementation of Results-Based Budgeting, which is now underway, expenditures will be more closely linked to program achievements and results. 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. \nBUDGET CLASS-See object class. \nBUDGET CYCLE--A period of time in which a specific' budget is in effect, usually 12 months. See fiscal year for dates applying to state and federal budgets. \nBUDGET ESTIMATE--A statement which accompanies' explanations, as required by state law, in which a budget \n \n698 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nunit states its fmancial requirements and requests for appropriations. Also known as an agency's budget request, which must be submitted to OPB by September I of each year. \n,BUDGET MESSAGE-A speech by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor outlines his spending proposals and revenue projections, including recommendations for increasing or decreasing revenues, that are embodied in an accompanying budget document. The formal budget message, dealing primarily with the following year's budget, is made to a joint session during the ftrst week that the Legislature convenes. A speech detailing the Governor's Amended Budget recommendations is made to a joint session of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the week before the session. \n \nprograms related to providing and maintaining an adequate system ofpublic roads and bridges. \nDEBT LIMITATION-The State Constitution places a ceiling on state indebtedness by limiting general obligation bond debt service payments to 10 percent of net treasury receipts for the prior ftscal year. \nEMERGENCY FUND-An appropriation to the Office of the Governor that is set aside for the Governor to provide grants to state agencies to meet emergency needs. Grants from the fund cannot involve a recurring obligation. \nENHANCEMENT FUNDS-Funding in F.Y. 1999 for required services that are above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests for enhancement funds were limited to 4.5 percent of the adjusted base budget. \n \nBUDGET REPORT-A document which displays all programs, efforts and expenditures which are recommended by the Governor for each agency during a speciftc ftscal year. The Budget Report includes the Governor's official estimate of state revenue to be collected during the ftscal year and details any surplus, reserve or other funds that are available for expenditure. The fund availability outlined by the Governor determines the size of the budget for any given year. The Budget Report for the following year is also known as the \"big budget,\" the \"outyear budget\" and the \"Governor's budget.\" The Amended Budget Report, which recommends changes to the budget in effect when it is presented, is known as the \"little budget.\" \nBUDGET UNIT-A department, board, COtnrnlSSlOn, office, institution or other unit of organization which has, under general law, an independent existence and thus is authorized to receive and expend an appropriation. An agency may have one or more budget units in the Appropriations Act. \nCAPITAL OUTLAY-Funds designated speciftcally to acquire, construct, renovate or repair public facilities. These funds can be appropriated in cash-from state general funds, lottery funds or other funds-or be provided through the sale of general obligation bonds or revenue bonds. \nCONFEENCE COMMITTEE-A group of six legislators-three Representatives and three Senators-who are appointed by the presiding officers of the respective hours to reconcile different versions of the appropriations bill and other legislation that have been passed by the House and Senate. \nDEDICATED FUNDS-Funds collected from a speciftc revenue source that must be appropriated for a speciftc expenditure. An example in Georgia is motor fuel tax funds, which must be constitutionally appropriated for \n \nENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS-Certain programs, usually federal in origin, that provide beneftts to individuals based on speciftc eligibility requirements. Medicaid is the largest entitlement program operated by the state. \nFEDERAL FUNDS-Funding from the federal government to pay for all or portions of specillc programs. Often, federal funds require a state fund \"match\" in order to receive the federal allocation. \nFISCAL AFFAIRS SUBCOMMITTEE-Twenty members of the House of Representatives and the Senate comprise the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, which is authorized to meet when the General Assembly is not in session to consider ftscal affairs transfers as described below at the request of the Governor. The membership includes the House Speaker and four other State Representatives appointed by the Speaker, the Lieutenant Governor and four Senators appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and ftve members of each house appointed by the Governor. \nFISCAL AFFAIRS TRANSFERS-Appropriations are made through allocations to speciftc 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 II members of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee in a meeting called to consider said transfers. This... sha11 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 ftscal year to help agencies to meet emergency needs and to address unanticipated budget problems. \nFISCAL YEAR-Any 12-month period at the end in which fmancial accOlmts are balanced. The state ftscal year \n \n699 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nbegins July 1 and ends June 30. The federal fiscal year begins October 1 and ends September 30. \n \nor by the State Office of Planning and Budget pursuant to a legislative authorization. \n \nFRINGE 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. Fringe benefits equal about 36 percent of an employee's salary. \nFUNCTIONAL BUDGET-A group of related activities aimed at accomplishing a major service or program for which a unit of government is responsible. Used synonymously with activity. \nGENERAL FUNDS-State money that is used for general pmposes of state government and is not dedicated to a specific agency or program. General funds are derived from taxes, fees and other general revenues and are appropriated to fmance the ordinary operations of governmental units. \nGENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS-Bonds sold by the state to fund major capital outlay projects or for the management of state debt. The bonds are backed by \"the full faith, credit and taxing power of the state.\" \nGUARANTEED REVENUE BONDS-State-sold bonds which have the principal and interest payable from earnings of a public enterprise. The state is required by law to appropriate one year's debt payment and to retain the total at that level until the bonds have been retired. Guaranteed Revenue Bonds can only be issued for specific pmposes as outlined in the State Constitution. \nINDIGENT 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. \n \nLAPSE-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. \n \nLAPSE FACTOR-A budgeting tool that withholds funds from appropriations, based on anticipated employee turnover and lower employee replacement costs. \n \nLEGISLATIVE BUDGET OFFICE-An agency within the Legislative Branch that serves as budget advisor to the General Assembly. \n \nLINE-ITEM \n \nAPPROPRIATION-A \n \nspecific \n \nappropriation spelled out in language in the Appropriations \n \nAct that authorizes specific expenditures for a state agency. \n \nLUMP SUM-A single appropriation for a specific pmpose that does not specify a breakdown by object class expenditure. \n \nMATCHING FUNDS-A type of federal or state grant that requires the government or agency receiving the grant to commit funding for a certain percentage of costs to be eligible for it. \n \nMIDTERM ADJUSTMENT-Additional appropriations to the State Board of Education in an Amended or Supplementary Budget to fund State Quality Basic Education (QBE) requirements for increased enrollment. Initial QBE funding cannot fully and accurately anticipate future enrollment. Midterm adjustments in funding are based on full-time equivalent enrollment counts during the fall quarter. \n \nINDIRECT FUNDING-The Appropriations Act each year allocates $16.1 million in 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. \nINTER-AGENCY TRANSFERS-A transfer of funds between state departments, either in an Appropriations Act \n \nMIDYEAR ADJUSTMENT RESERVE-A reserve of \n \nfunds that is set aside each year from prior fiscal year \n \nsmplus funds to provide additional spending for state \n \nagencies in an Amended or Supplementary Budget. The' \n \nreserve totals one percent of the prior year's net revenue \n \ncollections, to the extent that smplus funds are available. It \n \nis established prior to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, which \n \nis explained elsewhere. \n \n \n \nMOTOR FUEL RESERVES-All motor fuel revenue collections are allocated for public highway and bridge \n \n700 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nconstruction or maintenance by provisions of the State Constitution. If actual motor fuel tax collections exceed the 'estimate, these funds are set aside in a reserve and are appropriated to the State Department of Transportation in a subsequent Appropriations Act. \nNON-APPROPRIATED FUNDS-Monies received or spent that are not contemplated by an Appropriations Act. These funds must be amended into an agency's budget through a request to the Office of Planning and Budget. \nOBJECT 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 [mancial 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. \nOFFICE 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. \nORIGINAL APPROPRIATION-The first budget passed that sets appropriations for all of state government for the next full year after a legislative session. The budget is generally amended in midyear to more accurately reflect current needs of state agencies. \nOTHER FUNDS-Funds received by state agencies and institutions for services performed such as tuition fees paid by students to colleges, universities and technical institutes and fees collected by state parks. These funds are not turned into the state treasury but are retained by agencies and spent in accordance with an Appropriations Act or state law. Also known as agency funds. \n \nREDIRECTION LEVEIr-A reallocation of up to five percent of an agency's F.Y. 1996 adjusted base budget for three pmposes: (1) To fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources; (2) To fund growth in formula and entitlement related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources that have been historically needed in these areas; and (3) To increase fund availability for prior areas within state government as a whole. The F.Y. 1998 redirection level cannot exceed 100 percent of the F.Y.1997 adjusted base budget. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING-A form of budgeting in which resources are allocated in such a way as to achieve specified, agreed-upon results-for instance, a reduction in infant mortality. The emphasis is shifted from reporting efforts to reporting results. Results-based budgeting, which is required in Georgia by Senate Bi11335, is being phased in over several years, beginning in F.Y. 1998. \nREVENUE ESTIMATE-An estimate of revenues that will be collected by the state during a fiscal year. These revenues include taxes, fees and sales, and other general revenues that flow into the state treasury and areavailable for expenditure in a budget recommended by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly. \nREVENUE SHORTFALL RESERVE-An account established by the State Auditor to make up shortages that might occur in revenue collections at the end of the fiscal year. More commonly known as the rainy day fund. The reserve is equal to three percent of the state's prior year's net revenue collections, to the extent that smplus is available. Funds are set aside in the Revenue Shortfall Reserve only after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve is fully funded. \nSTATE AID-Grants and other funding provided by Georgia's state government to assist cities, counties, public schools and other allied groups in providing various services and programs to the citizens of Georgia. \nSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION-A statement which discloses the assets, liabilities, reserves and equities of the state and its governmental units at the end of each fiscal year. \n \nPERSONAL SERVICES-The cost of state employees, including salary, fringe benefits and other expenses. This also includes temporary labor. \nPRNATIZATION-A general term for the strategy that refers to the transfer of public sector activities to the private sector. Georgia's current privatization efforts are based on three considerations: government should not be in the business; and the private sector can perform more effectively and more efficiently. \n \nSTATE TREASURY-A function of state government that receives, manages, invests and allocates all state revenues that are available for expenditure through the state's general fund budgetary process. The function is managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services within the Department of Administrative Services. STRATEGIC PLANNING-The process through which a preferred future direction and organizational mission are established and periodically updated in light of changing \n \n701 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \ntrends and issues. Goals, objectives and strategies are adopted and implemented to guide an organization toward that preferred future direction. \nSUBOBJECT CLASS-The lowest level of detail used in recording expenditures. Supplies and materials is a subobject class of regular operating expenses. \nSUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATIONS-Increased funding that is approved by the General Assembly in a separate, stand-alone Appropriations Act, usually passed early in the session to get new money into projects with a high time priority. A supplementary appropriations act, which is often called a \"speedy bill,\" cannot reduce spending or transfer funds previously appropriated. \nSURPLUS-Unspent funds at the end of a fiscal year. SUlplus funds come from two sources: excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate, and unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and are available for re-appropriation. \nUNIT-A state agency or a division within an agency that is authorized to receive an appropriation. Functions or activities are a part of a unit. \n \nUSER TAXES AND FEES-Charges associated with using a particular service provided by state government to its citizens. The charge generally recovers the cost of providing the service. Examples include state park receipts and driver's licenses. \nVETO-An action by the Governor that rejects appropriations passed by the General Assembly. The Governor is authorized to veto by line-item specific spending authorizations or language within an appropriations bill or the entire bill. Line item vetoes are more customary. \nZERO-BASE BUDGETING-A management-oriented system that combines the functions of planning, budgeting and operational decision-making into a single process. The process identifies to all levels of management and costs, benefits and alternative operational levels related to program objectives. \n \n702 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nAn lUlderstanding of the budget process in Georgia will pelp readers to use more easily the contents of the F.Y. 1998 Budget Report. The following information is presented for this purpose. \nAnnual state appropriations, as approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor, are the authority for the expenditure of all state flUlds. Budgets are established for each agency based on appropriations, and state laws prescribe strict conditions that govern all expenditures. \nTHE SOURCES OF FUNDING \nBudgets are based on the availability of state general funds, state lottery funds, state dedicated funds (such as motor fuel taxes), reserves and surpluses, the Indigent Care Trust FlUld, funds collected and retained for expenditure by agencies, federal funds, and a few smaller categories. Broadly, funds are identified in the Budget Report and in general use as state funds and total funds. The distinctions are: \nSTATE FUNDS--(l) The taxes and fees collected by the state and deposited directly into the state treasury to be appropriated (the basis for the Governor's revenue estimate); (2) Reserves; (3) Surplus funds; (4) Lottery receipts; and (5) Indigent Care Trust FlUlds. \nTOTAL FUNDS--All funds available for appropriation, including (1) State funds as described above; (2) Federal funds; and (3) Other funds from a number of sources, mostly fees and charges assessed and retained by agencies. \nSTATE FUNDS \nState funds comprised 58.2% oftota! appropriations in the original F.Y. 1998 budget. The state fund total is most frequently used in news reports and is the total that most often generates public debate and deliberations by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The level of federal and other funding is often driven by the level of state fund appropriations. \nTaxes represent the largest portion of state funds projected to be collected in F.Y. 1998--90.5%. The largest tax sources are the income tax, 51.2%, and the sales tax, 36.3%. Other revenue sources include fees mid sales, 3.9%; lottery funds, 4.2%; and Indigent Care Trust FlUlds, 1.2%. \nFEDERAL AND OTHER FUNDS \nFederal funds flow directly to state agencies from the many federal programs that provide grants to state and local governments. While most federal funds for local governments \n \ngo directly to the recipient cities and cOlUlties, some grant funds are distributed to local governments through the state budget. \nOther funds include a broad category ofrevenues that are collected by agencies and retained for expenditure without going through the state treasury. They are expressly approved by an appropriations act or can be amended into an agency's budget with approval of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB). \nFlUlds that are collected by agencies and turned over to the state treasury by law become state general funds and are available for appropriation by the General Assembly for any purpose. \nFlUlds retained by state agencies for direct expenditure include college tuition fees, state park revenues, and a host of other fees and collections for various services rendered. \nREVENUE ESTIMATE \nGeorgia's State Constitution requires that the General Assembly approve a budget that balances expenditures with anticipated fund availability. Therefore, each year's budget cannot exceed the total of revenues expected to be collected and any surplus or reserve funds that are available for expenditure. \nThe Governor, who is the Budget Director, is responsible for establishing the official revenue estimate. He is assisted in this responsibility by a state economist lUlder contract as a consultant with OPB, which serves as the budget staff for the Governor. \nThe basis for making revenue projections is a computerized econometric model. From this model, a range of estimates is provided to the Governor by his economic advisor. In December, just prior to fmalizing his budget recommendations to the General Assembly, the Governor adopts a fmal revenue estimate--an action that, when added to surplus and reserve funds, determines the size of the forthcoming appropriations bill. \nSURPLUS FUNDS \nSurplus funds come from two sources: (1) Excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate, and (2) Unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and may be available for re-appropriation. \nLapses occur in two ways: (1) Appropriation amolUlts that OPB never allotted to agencies for expenditure, an action \n \n703 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nthat automatically puts the funds back into the treasury; and (2) Appropriations that were allotted for expenditure but were unspent at the end of the year. These funds are lapsed back into the treasury by the State Auditor following the annual audits of each agency. \nRESERVES \nTwo reserves are established by the state on June 30, the end of the state's fiscal year, iffunds are available--the Midyear Adjustment Reserve and the Revenue Shortfall Reserve. \nThe Midyear Adjustment Reserve is established by the State Auditor on June 30 each year and represents 1% of net revenue collections for the prior fiscal year, to the extent surplus funds are available up to that total. The Reserve is set aside to be appropriated in an amended budget at the next session of the General Assembly. The Reserve is considered to be the primary fund source for the State Board of Education's \"Midterm Adjustment.\" This adjustment is appropriated in the amended budget each year to provide the state's share of the increased cost of new students enrolled in the fall. \nThe Revenue Shortfall Reserve is equal to 3% of the prior fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available, and is established after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. The Shortfall Reserve is the state's rainy day fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of F.Y. 1997, the Reserve was filled to a level of $333,941,806.48. \nOccasionally, other reserves can be available for appropriation. For instance, the Motor Fuel Reserve represents funds earmarked for expenditure by the Department of Transportation in years when motor fuel tax collections exceed the original budgeted estimate for motor fuel collections in the preceding fiscal year. All motor fuel tax collections are constitutionally allocated to the Department of Transportation whether appropriated or not, but are routinely included in the state's amended budgets. \nHOW BUDGETS ARE APPROVED \nThe budget process for any given year, from the frrst planning stages to post-auditing, involves a series of actions spread over about two and one-half years. \nThree kinds of budgets can be approved in Georgia--an original budget, an amended budget and a supplementary budget. An original budget is just what it says--the flISt budget passed for a fiscal year. Generally, this budget remains in effect until the General Assembly convenes in January, at which time the budget is generally changed by adding \n \nappropriations, decreasing appropriations or shifting expenditures between object classes. \nAn amended budget is one in which any type of change can be made--additions, deletions or transfers. A supplementary budget is one which includes only new spending. Generally, a supplementary bill is passed early in the session to provide appropriations needed before a more extensive amended bill can be passed. \nAll ofthese budgets, at the end ofthe session, become one operating budget for the state, with no distinction made for the various appropriations acts that are passed. \nThe General Assembly can meet at any time in special session and amend the budget in effect. These occasions are rare, having occurred only twice in recent decades. Both were triggered by recessions in Georgia that required major budget cuts to avoid spending more money than was available for expenditure. \nState law requires all state agencies to submit a request for appropriations for the next fiscal year to OPB no later than September 1 of each year. Most agencies start work on these requests in the spring for a fiscal year that is 14 to 15 months in the future. At the same time, agencies must request amendments for changes in the current fiscal year's budget. \nBeginning in early September, the Governor begins a four-month period in which he studies the budget requests of each department and develops his recommendations to the General Assembly. During this interim, he meets with department heads and consults with his OPB staff in fmalizing his proposals. \nBUDGETANNOUNCEMffiNTS \nThe Governor normally appears before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the frrst week in January to announce his recommendations for amending the current year's budget. The next year's budget recommendations are announced by the Governor during his annual Budget Message, which is delivered to a joint legislative session during the frrst week of the annual session. The Legislature convenes on the second Monday in January. \nLEGISLATIVE ACTION \nBy law, an appropriations bill is introduced in the House' of Representatives and frrst goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being voted on by the entire House. The bill follows a similar path through the Senate. The House and Senate versions usually differ.  Whilestill working within the total revenue estimate established by the Governor, a conference committee is then appointed to \n \n704 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nreach a compromise on the two versions. The conference committee's version must be accepted totally or rejected by each house. A rejection results in appointment of a new conference committee. \nThe process is the same for amended and outyear appropriations bills. The only difference is the General Assembly generally takes actions on amended and supplementary bills before taking up the budget for the following year. That is done because changes in the current year's budget often impact the following year's budget. \nADMINISTRATION OF THE BUDGET \nOnce an Appropriations Act has been signed into law, OPB, on behalf of the Governor, is responsible for ensuring that all state expenditures conform to the legislative mandate. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed spending authorizations by total appropriations or by object class. This is accomplished through approval by OPB of an annual operating budget, quarterly allotments and expenditure reports. \nAfter the fiscal year ends, the State Auditor is responsible for auditing all expenditures of every state agency and operation, including all colleges and universities, authorities and school districts. \n \nOBJECT CLASS APPROPRIATIONS \nAll funds are appropriated through common and unique object classes. There are more than a dozen common objectclasses, such as personal services, regular operating expenses, capital outlay, travel and real estate rentals. Unique object classes, ofwhich there are almost 100 in the State Board of Education alone, usually relate only to a specific agency. \nThe Appropriations Act in recent years has provided some flexibility for state agencies by authorizing some transfers between common object classes. The limits are: no common object class spending can exceed 102 percent of appropriations for that class, and total spending on all common object classes cannot exceed the total funds authorized. \nFurther transfers between these object classes are possible with permission of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Governor. \nBASIS OF BUDGETING \nThe State of Georgia maintains the budget funds of its various appropriations units in accordance with the modified accrual basis of reporting. \n \n705 \n \n ADA ADAP ADR \nAFIS AGTEC AIDS AOB AP ARC ASAC ATDC BLS CAMS CBD CCACTI CCH CCSP CDBG CHIP CJCC CJIS CMI COE CTA CTR DARE DCA DFCS DHR DJJ DLEA DMA DNA DNR DOAS DOT DPS \n \nACRONYMS \nAmericans with Disabilities Act Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program Alternate Dispute Resolution, a method ofresolving disputes by the State Board of Workers' Compensation Automated Fingerprint Identification System Applied Genetics Technology Facility Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome Annual Operating Budget Advanced Placement Appalachian Regional Commission Assistant special agent-in-charge (GBI) Advanced Technology Development Center at Georgia Tech Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics Cost Accounting Management System Central Business District Consortium on Competitiveness for the Apparel, Carpet \u0026 Textile Industries Computerized Criminal History Community Care Services Program Community Development Block Grant Children's Health Insurance Program Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Criminal Justice Information System Chronically Mentally III U.S. Corps of Engineers Centralized Taxpayers Accounting System Centralized Taxpayers Registration System Drug Abuse Resistance Education Department of Community Affairs Department of Family and Children Services Department of Human Resources Department of Juvenile Justice Drug Law Enforcement Agency Department of Medical Assistance Deoxyribonucleic acid State Department ofNatural Resources State Department of Administrative Services Department of Transportation Department of Public Safety \n706 \n \n DRG DRS DTAE DUI DVS EBT ED!

Thisis evidenced by the fact that our reserves are full for the fourth straight fiscal year and we closed fiscal year 1997 with a healthy surplus. My amended budget recommendations to you propose that we spend the vast majority of this available revenue on educational improvements, a tax cut, to pre-fund bond payments and to address the Year 2000 issue with our computer systems. \nI am asking the General Assembly to approve a $205 million income tax cut starting in 1998 that will raise the state income tax personal exemption for both taxpayers and dependents to match the federal exemption level of $2,700. We would also raise the deduction for the blind and over 65 to the federal level of$1,300. This will be the second largest tax cut in Georgia's history. The largest tax cut, the elimination of the sales tax on food, is now in the final stages of implementation. To offset the cost of this new tax cut in fiscal year 1998, I propose setting aside $70 million from our available surplus. \nIn a separate supplementary budget, I am recommending approval of$152,176,753 to address the state's Year 2000 computer problems. The problems are worldwide in impact and will cost in the billions of dollars to correct. The Year 2000 is close and we've got the money, so now is the time to solve our own problems before it is too late. This proposal will accelerate the availability of these funds so remediation can begin as soon as possible. \nFor the third year in a row, my budget recommendations will pre-fund debt payments that will become due in fiscal year 1999 in the amount of $200,000,000. I believe this is a wise and prudent use of available surplus funds. \nOur prudence paid off this year. Georgia became only the eighth state to receive a triple A rating from all three major rating services when Standard \u0026 Poor's upgraded us from AA+ to AAA. We already had the top rating from Moody's and Fitch. Pre-funding debt continues to show our responsibility in meeting obligations. \nThe highest priority for continuing needs is the mid-term adjustment for local school systems. Actual fall enrollment in our public school system is 1,332,363; a 1.9 percent growth rate. This requires an additional appropriation of $78,577,895. \n \n The largest lottery expenditure is $78,868,973 in capital outlay to construct new classrooms for fast-growing school systems. \nl \nAn additional $16,985,464 in lottery funds will be allocated to increase by 8 percent the student enrollment for HOPE scholars attending public schools and technical institutes and $11,995,246 for growth at our private colleges. \nFor our public libraries, I am recommending $10 million in additional state general funds that, along with regular funding, will allow our public libraries to purchase 600,000 new books during the remainder of fiscal year 1998 and during fiscal year 1999. For our public school media centers, I am recommending an additional $5,205,809 in fiscal year 1999 that will allow the purchase of 400,000 books, including books already in the normal allocation. \nThis is the most ambitious library book expansion program in Georgia's history, and I am happy that it is possible during my Administration. \nGeorgia's airports, from the world's second-busiest in Atlanta to the general aviation airports spread around the state, have been a major economic boost to Georgia over recent decades. But many of these general airports have become outdated as large companies have upgraded to larger jets that need longer runways and more sophisticated control systems. Therefore, I am recommending $35 million to undertake an expansion program that will place all of Georgia within a 45-minute drive of a top-level general aviation airport and provide a major boost to spread economic growth throughout the state. Runways will be lengthened to 5,500 feet long to accommodate the large jets now in use. \nBesides a more productive economy, our good fortunes this year can be attributed to sound financial planning. For several years now, we have been following a financial plan in which revenue estimates took into consideration the need to maintain reserves necessary to meet legislative mandates. We have held the line on program expansions and reversed the trend of runaway entitlements. But most of all, we have invested in our future by increasing the educational opportunities for all our citizens. I think we are now seeing some of the payoffs. \nThis is quite a turnaround from my first amended budget, when it was necessary to cut spending by $202 million because of the recession then underway. In contrast, the amended budget I am presenting today totals almost $590 million. \nMy last amended budget recommendations are conservative in their impact on future budgets and merit full consideration. I believe my recommendations embody all of the criteria that I have established as Governor and represent a fiscally sound investment on behalf of taxpayers and citizens. \nOVE~....u...a....._ \n \n ESTIMATED STATE REVENUES GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET \nFISCAL YEAR 1998 \n \nSTATE FUND AVAILABILITY \n \nSURPLUS: \n \nAudited State Funds Surplus \n \n$524,974,958 \n \nEstimated Agencies' Lapse - State Funds \n \n49,161,998 \n \nAudited Lottery Surplus \n \n69,869,338 \n \nEstimated Agencies' Lapse - Lottery \n \n17,054,052 \n \nTotal Surplus \n \n$661,060,346 \n \nRESERVES: \n \nMidyear Adjustment Reserve \n \n$111,313,935 \n \nMotor Fuel \n \n$24,674,865 \n \nREVENUES: \n \nState Revenue Estimate \n \n$11,118,625,000 \n \nIndigent Care Trust Fund \n \n148,828,880 \n \nLottery Proceeds- Revised from $510,000,000 \n \n515,000,000 \n \nAppropriated Surplus \n \n4,000,000 \n \nTotal State Funds Available \n \n$12,583,503,026 \n \nSTATE FUND APPROPRIATIONS \n \nF.Y. 1998 Appropriations Act \n \n$11,771,743,880 \n \nProposed Net Increases \n \n589,582,393 \n \nProposed F.

This recommendation funds the environmental impact analysis ($875,000) and design ($3,250,000) of the Atlanta to Athens commuter rail corridor. The recommendation also provides $175,000 for special consultants to prepare and draft agreements with the railroads and for related legal expenses. The state is advance funding the federal share ($700,000) of the environmental analysis which is 80% of the $875,000 total project cost in order to speed up the federal approval process on the Atlanta to Athens rail line. The $3,250,000 in state funds for design will be matched by a like amount in federal funds. Funding the state portion of the design now will further strengthen the state's ability to obtain federal funding and eliminate delays associated with different state and federal fiscal years. \nTOTAL NET STATE FUND ADWSTMENTS \n \n4,300,000 64,064,866 \n \n85 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \n \nFUNCTIONAL STATE BUDGET SUMMARY \n \n1.

MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: \nApproaching the last two budgets of my Administration, I think it is important to concentrate most of our available resources towards completing the programs and projects that we have mutually launched over the last six years. \nI want Georgia to be able to compete nationally for the best teachers we can get. Therefore, I am recommending the third straight six percent salary increase for all of our teachers, including those in public schools, the University System and technical institutes. A chart on page 161 of this Budget Report dramatizes the fact that we are closing in on our goal. Higher salaries will attract better qualified teachers into our classrooms. It is these teachers who will ultimately define the achievements of our educational system. \nAlso for education, I am recommending significant funding to manage growth and achieve excellence in all of our educational institutions.. .lottery funding to expand pre-kindergarten to a record 60,000 four-year-olds...expanded funding to provide HOPE and other lottery scholarship funds to 131,031 students...$66,350,888 in lottery and state funds that can be used to provide teacher training on how to effectively utilize technology in the classroom and to add to or replace some of the almost $200 million in classroom technology that has been purchased during my Administration...a reduction in the funded class size of our high schools from 23 to 20...and $108,740,000 in capital outlay bond funding for K-12 growth needs and equipment for our technical schools. \nThroughout this Budget Report, you will not find any funding for the old welfare entitlement program. Instead, on January 1, 1997, we replaced entitlement assistance with a block grant program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, which we call TANF. \nWhile spending on TANF will be about equal to the entitlement program, the focus will be on helping people to become self-sufficient and leave the program as soon as possible. We will focus on job preparation, work opportunities, child support enforcement and teen pregnancy prevention. \n \n Next to unemployment, teen pregnancy is the leading cause of welfare dependency. Ifwe can reduce teen pregnancy, we can continue the reduction in welfare rolls that we have witnessed over the last year. We must solve the problem of too many teens becoming mothers without the resources or maturity to support their children. \nI have also continued to place a significant emphasis on our University System. This budget provides the necessary funding to address the needs of a growing system; from $8 million to enhance the technology infrastructure to $126 million to enhance the physical infrastructure with new building construction. I am also recommending $1,950,000 to better prepare students to enter the University System and an increase of$1O.3 million to better maintain the classrooms and labs in which they will learn. \nIn Fiscal Year 1998, we must continue to address the need for more space in our juvenile and adult prison system. For the Department of Children and Youth Services, I have approved funds to provide 1,130 new beds throughout the system and to annualize the operating cost of915 beds provided in the current state budget, increasing capacity to 4,040 beds. Funding is also recommended to operate 3,858 new adult prison beds that are in the process of being opened over the next year. \nAnother critical need in state government is the necessity to improve the operating efficiency of our State Department of Revenue. A modernized Department with efficient management systems is an absolute must. Our process of tax collections and tag and title administration must be updated with the newest technology and systems development. Towards that goal, we are launching a five-year strategy called \"Blueprint for Modernization.\" I have recommended that we appropriate $21,337,500 to fund the first phase of this program in the amended Fiscal Year 1997 and the Fiscal Year 1998 budgets. These investments will more than pay for themselves over time. \nState revenues will continue to grow for Fiscal Year 1998 at a rate of 4.6%. This is after we have set aside $152 million to account for the reduction of the sales tax on groceries by the third onepercent in October 1997 and after we have allowed for.all of our reserves to be full on June 30, 1998. Leaving this State to the next Governor with all of her reserves full is a major commitment of mine and one that I am determined to fulfill. \nWith one more budget left in my Administration, I feel that we are on a schedule to meet the promises that I have made to the people of Georgia. I have prepared this Fiscal Year 1998 budget while constantly reviewing projections for the Fiscal Year 1999 budget. While our economy is slowing its rate of growth, it nevertheless remains strong enough, with prudent financial management and sound decision making, to provide the funding for us to complete our work a year from now. \n \n F.Y. 1998 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \n \nAPPROPRIATIONS AND REVENUES \n Appropriations totaling $11,777,578,880 are recommended for expenditure by state agencies during F.Y. 1998, which begins July 1, 1997 and ends June 30, 1998. \n \nOfficers working in high security mission institutions and a 5 percent supplement to food service and maintenance workers directly supervising inmates. \nLOTTERY FUNDS \n \n The appropriations would be funded from the following four sources: --$11,118,000,000 from taxes and fees as estimated by the Governor, an increase of 4.6 percent. --$510 million in lottery proceeds. --$148,828,880 from the Indigent Care Trust Fund. --$750,000 from anti-fraud levies. \n \n $510 million in lottery funds available for appropriation. These funds are recommended to be spent in four ways: \n--$208,545,359 for pre-kindergarten, 40.9 percent. --$175,439,127 for HOPE and other scholarship programs, 34.4 percent. --$68,496,592 for technology training, 13.4 percent --$57,518,922 for capital expenditures, 11.3 percent. \n \nSALARY ADJUSTMENTS \n \nPUBLIC SCHOOLS \n \n $321,057,345 to provide the following pay raises: --Six percent for public school teachers, effective September 1, 1997. \n--Four percent for school bus drivers and lunchroom workers, effective July I, 1997. --Six percent for University System academic personnel, effective September 1, 1997. --Six percent for University System non-academic personnel, effective July 1, 1997. \n--Six percent for technical institute instructors and statefunded librarians, effective September 1, 1997. \n--Pay for Performance increases to all state employees ranging from 0 to 7 percent in four increments: 0 percent, 4 percent, 5.5 percent, and 7 percent, effective October 1, 1997. This pay increase plan includes personnel in the central offices ofthe Department of Education, the Department of Technical and Adult Education and the Georgia Public Television Commission. \n--Four percent for the Department of Audits and the Judicial Branch, effective October 1, 1997. \n--Four percent for staff of the Legislative Branch, effective October 1, 1997. \n Supplemental salary increases of five percent to personnel in the Youth Development Worker and Facilities Police job classes of the Department of Children and Youth Services and five percent salary increases to Youth Development Workers who become POST certified. Also, a 5 percent conditional salary increase will be given to Correctional \n \n $116,100,917 to fund QBE formula increases caused primarily by growth in FTEs from 1,275,448 to 1,308,060, an increase of2.6 percent. \n $59,688,332 in redirected education funds to reduce the funded size of classes in high school from 23 to 20. The redirected funds will come primarily from the elimination of the high school and vocational lab programs ($39,974,187) and the removal of extended day from the high school program ($9,285,630). \n $23,408,440 to increase lottery spending for prekindergarten from 54,000 to 60,000 four-year-olds, increasing total expenditures over the current F.Y. 1997 budget to $208,545,359. The amended budget for F.Y. 1997 increased to 57,000 the number of students served and F.Y. 1998 funds will increase the total another 3,000 students. \n Launch a major initiative to provide funding to train teachers to integrate lottery-funded computers and technology into the classroom. The initiative includes: \n--$25,564,956 to fund a half-time technologist on site to provide teachers training in the use of computers and technology. \n--$39,241,800 to provide local schools $30 per FTE with the option of using the money to purchase technology and equipment, or for technology training. \n--$504,296 in state general funds to create two new technology training centers at University System sites, and \n \n8 \n \n BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \n \n$689,836 in lottery funds for equipment purchase and upgrade. \n $3,804,500 in lottery funds and $1,540,380 in general funds to implement a coordinated fund accounting, fmancial analysis and student information system in Georgia schools.

(Department of Veterans Service) \n \n13 \n \n AN ECONOMIC REPORT \n \nTHE ACTIVITY BASE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1998 BUDGET \nGoYernment budgets bridge the separation between the private and the public sectors of a state's economy. On the expenditure side, government's outlays on services and capital serve as indices of the output which will be delivered to businesses and individuals. On the revenue side, government's levy of taxes and fees on private activity registers the purchasing power which taxpayers will give up. Of course, a budgetary focus on fmancing inputs can give no specific insights about the magnitude (or worth) of government's value-added. Still, the budget does defme the crude dimensions of a bargain struck between voters and elected officials. A defmite amount of current private income is expected to be sacrificed for a prospective but ill-defmed flow of government output. More than that, the detail of planned spending on programs and services and of expected yields of various taxes and fees provides both elected officials and the electorate with information for judging the reward each can hope to reap from the bargain. Finally, the budget advertises a work plan for government for its taking from, adding to, and returning the pecuniary resources it has been given license to draw from the private sector. \nIn Georgia, there are several public sectors. Accordingly, the State's budget must span the interstices among federal, local, and state sectors as well as between the state and the private sector. Yet, the exchange between the state government and Georgia's individuals and businesses is fundamental. Appropriately, its detail dominates the budget. \nI. Balancing for Continuity Georgia's constitution mandates that a state budget imbedded in an appropriation law must be \"balanced\". That is, the amount which government plans to spend in a given fiscal year cannot exceed the amount which government expects to have available from beginning surpluses and current collections in the period. Planned expenditures may be less than expected revenues would allow, an imbalance from below. However, foreseen excesses of spending over revenues, an imbalance from above, are ruled out. The conditional equivalence insures that what government spends on goods, services, or people in the private sector is no more than what the private sector in a given state of activity and expectation will provide to government through tax-and-fee channels which have already been established. Unlike the federal budget approach, balance in Georgia's budget is not necessary to protect against government borrowing in support of government services. Such protection has already been afforded by an accounting (commonplace among the states) which excludes borrowed monies from revenues. These \"off-budget\" monies, proceeds from the sale \n \nof bonds, are treated separately in a \"capital budget\". There, planned borrowing is exhausted, in time, by purchase or constniction of specifically-identified durables. The level at which this balancing occurs is constrained. By law, annual costs for interest and repayment of principal (debt service) must remain below ten percent of the net revenues flowing into the general-funds budget. Additionally, since debt service is included as an outlay in that budget, a further restraint on borrowing arises. Interest and principal payments always compete with (and, by law, win out over) the purchases of other inputs drawing upon expected taxes and fees. \nSince risks of deficit fmancing have already been hedged, the significance of the balancing requirement must lie elsewhere. Essentially, Georgia's budgetary balance gives assurance of the continuity of programs and allows compliance with a work plan within a fiscal year. It insures that what government proposes and what the electorate will pay are in accord. Bridges will be built all the way across the river and inoculation sequences will not be interrupted before they afford protection. So seen, real costs of several kinds never arise. Obviously, costs of time and money to renegotiate a public-sector strategy are avoided. So too are private and public shut-down and start-up costs for programs which might be discontinued. Finally, an erosion of the electorate's confidence in the quality of government decisionmaking is forestalled. \nThe continuity provision of Georgia's budgeting has been significantly reinforced during the administrations of Governor Zell Miller. In the first place, to ensure that flows into and out of the private and public sectors of the economy remain in harmony, Governor Miller consistently uses as his revenue estimate the lower bound of an uncertainty range that surrounds any \"best forecast\" ofprivate activity and connected revenue yield. Under this practice, the revenue flow which is expected to result from government's outreach with taxes and fees is far more likely to be exceeded by actual collections than the flow is to fall short. Secondly, Governor Miller extends the notion of balance in a fiscal-year budget to balance in a fiscal-year fmancial plan. In addition to the appropriation, the \"low-range estimate\" is made to accommodate payments out of \"excess collections\" into the Revenue Shortfall Reserve (a \"rainy-day\" encumbrance of year-end surplus) and the Midyear Adjustment Reserve (a surplus-fmanced hedge against unforeseeable supplements needed at midyear for already-budgeted programs). Thirdly, the low-range estimate is made to cover the impact on current collections of legally-mandated adjustments to collections of an earlier period. Currently, the estimate covers payments (via refunds) to federal retirees whose income taxes in the 1980s were found by the United States Supreme Court to be in violation of federal law (Davis v. Michigan, 1989). Finally, Governor Miller makes the low-range estimate accommodate \n \n14 \n \n a policy to shift forward to the next fiscal year some \"excess revenues\" which become surplus. Such inter-year transfers of funds can \"smooth\" the impact of a foreseen temporary slippage in revenues or of a phased reduction in taxes. The reduction of the 1997 estimate in order to carry revenues forward from 1997 to 1998 and so to be available to insulate the 1999 budget against the impact of eliminating the \"fmal penny\" from the sales tax on purchases of food well illustrates the procedure. By incorporating the four claims on revenues within a low-range estimate, Governor Miller establishes a fmancial balance which reinforces a budgetary balance. As a result, the risks of distortions and disruptions in government's programs are much reduced. \nII. Perspective on the State Government Sector In one popular image, government is simultaneously an institution which feeds its own growth, is inefficient in its choice and delivery of outputs, and is unresponsive to the electorate's preferences and needs. Whatever the origin of this casting, it does not fit Georgia's state government in the 19901996 period. Growth. Since government's output is not sold on a market, neither its volume nor its merit can be directly assessed and compared with output and qualify for other sectors. A measure of Georgia's state-government product is missing. While the measurement of growth might focus upon signallers of \"needs\" being satisfied, the \"needs\" that matter frequently have only a political expression. Their reflection is seen only in the costs and revenues reported in the state budget. The annual purchases which government fmances would rise over time if services expand with population and with the network of social and economic interactions that develop. Thus, in Georgia, it is not surprising that state revenues have grown substantially in, say, the past 25 years. In that period, population has climbed at an average annual rate of about 1.8 percent and personal income (adjusted for inflation) at a rate of about 3.8 percent. At the same, the State's revenues (adjusted for inflation) have climbed at an annual average rate of about 4.4 percent. Despite a severe recession, revenues climbed by a third in the 1970s. Under more stable conditions, revenues advanced by three-fifths in the 1980s. So far in the 1990s, revenues are up by about a third. Gross rates ofgrowth of course do not indicate whether the State's government, as an institution, is \"feeding\" an expansion of its importance. But, the ratio of claims of the state government on total personal income in the state when viewed over time does indicate whether government is becoming more dominant relative to the private sector. As is shown in Figure I, this ratio for Fiscal Year 1996 (6.45 percent) stands below that for the preceding economic peak in Fiscal Year 1990 (6.58 percent). It is also below the ratio for the post-war high at the activity peak in Fiscal Year 1974 (6.68 percent). Government does not appear to be increasing its relative economic claim. Another indicator of growth in the government sector is the proportion of total earnings (wages, salaries, and \n \nPercent 6.80, \n6.63 \n \nFIgure I PROPORTION OF PERSONAL INCOME CLAIMED BY TIlE STATE \nFISCAL YEARS 1974 - 1996 \n \nS.7S I-r-----r-,-----,--,------,,---,----,---,---,--r--r-----r-,-----,--,---,---,----,---,-,..,.--, \n \nu \n \nu \n \nn \n \nw n ~ \n \n~ \n \nU \n \n~ \n \n~ \n \nM% \n \nFIscal Yean \n \nproprietor's income) in the state made up by earnings in state government. Since it deals with direct \"production\" outlays, it is better suited to detect changes in government's importance in the short-run. This proportion has fallen from 3.6 to 3.3 percent from 1990 to 1995. Since the state's decline could have been made up by a local government increase, the ratio of local government earnings to total earnings also warrants examination. Again, the proportion falls over the 5-year period (from 11.0 percent to 10.4 percent). Thus, the state's government expenditures signal no current or recent \"selfexpansion\" of the state sector. \nEfficiency. Having no measure of output for state government, the efficiency with which its inputs are used cannot be evaluated directly. Obviously, the efficiency in the choice of output, a political selection, cannot be tested either. Yet, a crude indicator again appears. If it is assumed that government output is population-driven, the ratio of population to employment in state government can serve as an indicator of efficiency. Moreover, if it is assumed that per capita income registers a matrix ofneeds for services because it climbs with personal economic interactions, then the ratio of personal income (inflation-adjusted) to government employment becomes a registrant of efficiency. That ratio rises by almost 6 percent over 1990-1995. Consequently, there is at least a hint of improved efficiency of state government in Georgia. \nResponsiveness. Political accountability is not readily ascertained. Still, because of the unique pattern of economic advance in Georgia in the nineties, a ~coarse indicator of responsiveness emerges. Specifically, the economic recovery of the 1990s lacked the post-slump surge in output and employment. Instead of recovering strongly and quickly, activity growths lagged at first and then graduallY,. moved toward the rates that marked post-surge expansions in earlier upswings. As a result, the state's outreach into the private sector yielded revenues lower than trends of the eighties suggested would have been necessary to satisfy the public. Additionally, the growth in revenues that was recorded was too low to give government immediate hope of a return to prior revenue patterns. \n \n15 \n \n An unresponsive government might have raised taxes in sales tax increase, the proportion rose to 89 percent and \n \nan effort to shift the revenue function upward to its \"proper\" remained there in Fiscal Year 1996. \n \n(and prior) growth plane.

Revenues again dropped much more sharply than \n \n16 \n \n personal incomes in the recession of 1990-1991; they rose more rapidly than personal income (though the difference was less dramatic) in the expansion of 1992-1996. \n \nIV. Perspective on the Private Sector The economic coupling between the government and the private sectors, periodically at least, is quite loose. Hence, to see the Georgia economy, highlights of recent performance in Georgia's government economy must be supplemented with those for the private economy. Growth. In the eighties, personal income (adjusted for inflation) climbed by roughly 50 percent. From the cyclical peak in 1982 to that in 1990, real personal income climbed at approximately 5 percent per year. Employment rose at about 4 percent per year at the same time. This strong advance was fuelled by an increase in the participation rate exaggerating \n \nuda Peak -100 130 \n11. \n \nF1I;ure m EMPWYMENT IN GEORGIA IN THE \nRECOVERIES OF 1 _ AND 19900 \n(Pc.k: Ift1, I\"') \n \n11. \n':1-1__1 \n \n3 \n \n4 \n \nYean After Peak. \n \nm 19801  \n \n19901 \n \nthe boost in labor force resulting from a 2 percent per year population gain. \nThe 1983-1985 recovery was vigorous. Income growth climbed to 9.9 percent and employment growth touched 7.8 percent before each trailed off into the 3 to 4 percent range of a sustained expansion. \nFrom 1990 to 1996, the private economy again earned a reputation for performing well. Georgia experienced a brief decline from mid-1990 to mid-1991. But, like the Nation, the recovery in Georgia was lackluster and delayed relative to historical profiles.. Importantly, there was no quick resurgence that could have returned the state to the growth-plane of the eighties. As seen in Figure III, growth in Georgia's employment in the first six years following the economic peak in the nineties was only a third to two-thirds as strong as in the eighties. Personal income growth (adjusted for inflation) was also weaker in the 1990s. It climbed at an annual average rate 00.6 percent, barely three-fourths of the rate ofthe eighties. The growth that occurred was in the main people-driven. Wholesale and retail trade employment climbed by 22 percent in Georgia (9 percent in the U.S.) and services employment by 42 percent (23 percent in the U.S.). Significantly, employment in state and local government (also, \"people driven\") climbed by only 7 percent in the State (versus 8 percent in the Nation). Overall, the level of employment grew at an annual average rate of2.7 percent. \n \nActivity tied to the Olympic Games bolstered the private economy at least from 1992 forward. Venue construction began that year and ended shortly before the activity tied to the Games themselves began in the midsummer of 1996. The earlier phase, long ongoing and fully integrated into the activity structure, provided no clear-cut evidence of economic acceleration. Whether other activity would have been induced had the Olympics not been scheduled is not known and the \"impact of the Olympics\" is uncertain as a result. When the Games were held, wholesale and retail employment and services climbed by about 3 percent for a two-month period. The personal income gain for 1996 appears to have been raised by almost one percent as a result. Despite this assist, neither Georgia's private nor public sector reflected growth like that which had been experienced in the eighties. \nEfficiency. Perhaps the most basic manifestation of economic efficiency in the private sector is the advantage which the growth in personal income registers over growth in employment. In the eighties, the \"productivity gain\" was an unremarkable one percent per year. In the nineties, the improvement was essentially the same. \nPerformance. Remembering that the economic system is intended to provide individuals with improved wellbeing, the ability of the economy to raise per capita personal incomes becomes a measure ofperformance. In the eighties, the rate of increase was 2.3 percent per year. In the nineties, it fell to 1.7 percent. Nonetheless, Georgia's per capita income came closer to that of the Nation. While 91.5 percent of the U.S. level was the highest level achieved in the eighties (1988), the level in 1996 reached 93.7 percent. \nV. Prospects With the Olympics now passed, the rates of growth in the public and private sectors are slipping to markedly lower levels. Yet, a \"basic\" economic momentum prevails. Revenues (adjusted for inflation) are advancing at around a 4 percent annual rate. Income growth is presently in the 3 to 4 percent range and employment gains are in the 2 to 3 percent range. No disruptive imbalances serious enough to end the expansion are presently in sight. In the U.S. and Georgia, the business expenditure boom that has driven the recent quarters ofthe expansion shows signs of flagging. Consumer spending . is being constrained Qy high debt ratios and by satiation stages in the cycles of buying durables and housing. In Georgia, moreover, growth in employment in trade and services leads the Nation and, at 5 to 6 percent, appears out of sync with the general economic advance. Despite these limitations, overall growth in Georgia's private sector appears well above stall-speed. For Fiscal Years 1997 and 1998, random variations around the real growth trends in income, employment, and revenues of 3 to 4, 1.5 to 2.5, and 3.5 to 4.5 percent respectively can be expected. These rates form the activity base for the \"lowrange\" revenue estimates offered in the Fiscal Year 1998 budget. \n \n17 \n \n RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \n \nThe State of Georgia is launching a new budget initiative to assist in developing a more efficient and effective state government that will be accountable and responsive to the public for all tax dollars spent. \nThe effort is Results-Based Budgeting (RBB), which is being phased in over the next several years, beginning with the F.Y. 1998 budget. \nWhen fully implemented, RBB will move the state towards a performance-based and results-oriented budget, as required by the 1993 Budget Accountability and Planning Act (Senate Bill 335). The new system will better link planning and evaluation to budget development and management. Performance measures will be used more systematically to assess progress made toward meeting stated goals and objectives for each department or agency of state government. Through RBB, all activities of state government will be grouped into programs and subprograms. For each program, goals will be identified, program outcomes for the fiscal year developed and progress towards achieving the outcomes measured. \nThe first phase, as displayed in this F.Y. 1998 Budget Report, includes the following information by program for each department: \n Program Purpose \n \noutcomes will be displayed in future Budget Reports beginning on a limited basis in F.Y. 2000 and in more detail in the years following. \nIn a memorandum to all agency heads on May 19, 1996, Governor Miller wrote of his full commitment to RBB and encouraged the same commitment from all agency heads. The Governor wrote: \n\"Constantly focusing our attention on not simply how we spend our resources, but rather on what we achieve or accomplish will keep Georgia on the right track towards effectively addressing the most important needs of Georgia citizens. I think we can substantially implement this new concept as we develop the state budget over the next two years. Approaching this challenge with the same dedication with which you implemented budget redirection will carry the state and this administration a long way towards fulfilling the vision I have for a fiscally sound, effective and resultsoriented state government.\" \n\"There has never been a time when prudently managing the state's fiscal resources is more important,\" Governor Miller told agency heads, listing some \"compelling reasons\" for the timeliness as: \n \n Program Goals \n Financial summaries, including the current F.Y. 1997 budget and the Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 1998. \nFor the first time, a reader can review the various programs that define a department, the purpose and goals of that program and the money that is spent achieving these goals. These programs may differ significantly from the organizational structure. This initiative is designed to relate program results with program expenditures. The Governor and the General Assembly can then decide through public debate whether or not the State is making the proper investment. \nThe second phase of RBB implementation in the F.Y. 1999 Budget Report will include the identification of objectives, subprograms and program outcomes that must be met. Progress towards achieving the program \n \n Georgia's economy likely will slow its growth rate for the remainder of the decade. \n Our citizens need and want better services from state government in those program areas they care most about. \n Citizens are not willing to see their tax burden increase; in fact, they want to pay less in taxes. \n Many Georgians do not believe they are currently getting maximum value for the taxes they are already paying. \n Georgia continues to be a rapidly growing state which will absolutely require that we invest the state's resources wisely to maximize our ability to be competitive in the world economy. \n \n18 \n \n RESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \n \nResults Based Budgeting is a method the state will use to require accountability for every tax dollar spent by every Executive Branch department. RBB will organize a process of gathering information and documenting the state's efforts ofwhether or not expenditures are actually achieving stated objectives. \nThe specific goals of Results Based Budgeting include: \n Focus the legislative process upon the policy implications offunds expended in state agency programs and services. \n \n Identify successful and unsuccessful programs \n Enable programs to be evaluated and funded on the basis of achieving a specific desired result. \n Aid policy makers in determining if it is in the best interest of the state to expend funds to achieve a program's identified result; i.e., it is worth it? \n Enhance the ability of the Office of Planning and Budget to track funding in programs across agency organizational boundaries. \n \n Identify similar programs across state agencies and assess total impact. \n \n19 \n \n STATE STRATEGIC PLAN -1997 \nThis State Strategic Plan for Georgia has been developed by the Governor's office and the Office of Planning and Budget with input from the legislative Budgetary Responsibility Oversight Committee. The plan fulfills the statutory requirements for a state strategic plan as outline.d in Code Section 45-12-73. It represents the first state strategic plan and a comprehensive vision for the future ofGeorgia. The strategic plan provides a view ofthe Georgia of tomorrow and the activities that are presently underway to move toward that future. Additional initiatives are identified that should be undertaken to attain our vision. Importantly, the plan sets forth results which are critical and must be accomplished so that Georgia can excel and be successful today and in the next century. \n \nVISION FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA \nGeorgia is a land blessed with natural resources and is fortunate to have residents who have been willing to work hard to support a dream for themselves and for their children. It is this dream of a better future that has been the driving force behind our state's economic development in the last generation. While we have made much progress toward meeting that goal, there is still work to be done. \nAchieving this goal of a brighter future will require work and perseverance. It will not simply happen but will occur only if we take the necessary steps that are required. These steps must be taken concurrently in a variety of areas which, while important separately, together can create the dynamic climate which will make Georgia a national leader. \nGeorgians deserve an educational system which will allow them to reach their full potential by giving them the knowledge and skills needed for the new challenges of tomorrow. It must provide both the opportunity to learn, such as the prekindergarten program, and tangible rewards for hard work, as provided by HOPE scholarships. In the future Georgians will see education as a lifetime experience which prepares the individual for the constantly changing conditions of a world community. \nAll Georgians also have the right to lead a life in a secure and safe community in which crime is controlled and fear of crime becomes a relic of another time. Government will maintain effective law enforcement to protect the public and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. By continuing to build a fair and effective judicial system Georgia will create a climate of respect for the law which will help to break the cycle ofviolence found in parts ofour society. \nA prosperous future will be based on a strong state economy which can compete successfully with the nation and the world. Georgia's economic growth must be protected by continuing a multifaceted strategy which attracts new industry, strengthens existing industry and provides the foundation and infrastructure necessary to foster economic growth. \n \nIn developing industry, Georgia must also be careful to protect the very resources upon which our prosperity is based. Rich agricultural areas, expansive forests, and abundant water have helped to foster strong growth. These resources must be protected in order to assure continued prosperity in the future. By developing resources in an ecologically sound manner, building upon the format established by Preservation 2000 and RiverCare 2000, Georgia can ensure that it maintains the very resources which have created its current prosperity. \nA good quality of life for themselves and for their children have long been goals of all Georgians. Adults as well as children deserve a social environment which allows them to develop to their fullest potential. Human services must be guided by principles which encourage and develop individual responsibility and accountability. Special emphasis must be given to policies which strengthen the family unit, because it is the breakdown of the family that has created the most serious consequences effecting the social and economic conditions in which children are raised. \nIn striving to create a better future, state government cannot work alone. Because of limited resources government is just one of many partners in the public and private sectors which must work together if a better future is to be achieved. Our challenge is to keep government as a good partner, one which encourages quality development and growth. To accomplish this, government must work to deliver services to the citizens in an efficient and effective manner. An ineffective government will drain our economic strength and threaten our prosperity. \nAs we proceed along convergent paths in all of these areas, a better Georgia will emerge. Our state will thrive in a climate of fiscal responsibility and personal security. It will prosper with the strength of an educated, well-trained workforce and an infrastructure unrivaled in the world. \nSTRATEGIC AGENDA PRIORITIES \nThis first strategic plan focuses on six primary issues which the Governor believes to be the top priorities in setting the agenda for moving into the future. These six major issues are: \n \n20 \n \n Education Georgia's future economic growth and prosperity can be \nensured only through the development of an educated and highly skilled workforce with the ability to change quickly to meet shifting economic demands. Our goal must be the development of an educational system which is inclusive, flexible and effective. To succeed, it must build on the current policy which provides both opportunities to learn, such as the preKindergarten program, and tangible rewards for hard work, as provided by HOPE scholarships. The skilled training for the jobs of tomorrow must be made available for all Georgia citizens. We must continue to build private and public partnerships which will increase the educational choices available to our citizens. Learning must be seen as a lifetime experience which prepares the individual for constantly changing conditions. \nCrime and Public Safety All Georgians have a right to live in safe and secure \ncommunities. Government has a responsibility to provide for the public safety. To accomplish this, the state must maintain well-trained, effective law enforcement and guarantee swift and assured punishment for those who break the law. Juveniles who commit certain violent crimes will be tried as adults and will senre adult sentences in special facilities. The Georgia judicial \nsystem must be organized and staffed so that the enforcement of \nGeorgia's laws can be administered quickly, efficiently and fairly. While we must ensure that the judicial system protects the rights ofthe accused, the system must also protect the rights of the victim. \nEconomic Development Success in economic development in Georgia has come \nbecause we believe that cooperation between government and business is crucial to long term economic growth. Our goal is to maintain and increase Georgia's economic growth rate which, in tum, will provide ongoing opportunities to Georgians. This goal will be achieved through a multifaceted strategy which attracts new industry, builds and supports existing industry, promotes Georgia and its products to the world, and provides the foundation and infrastructure for new industries of the future. \nHuman Services All Georgians want and strive for a good quality of life for \nthemselves and for their families. All children should grow up in a safe and nurturing environment which allows them to develop to their fullest potential. We believe that public welfare should be used for its original purpose: to offer short-term support to families in crisis or need. Georgia will achieve these goals by providing education, training and support to people to break the cycle of dependency. Additionally, the health care system in Georgia will provide access to quality health care in the appropriate setting and in a cost-effective manner. This \nsystem will emphasize affordable basic health care coverage and \nincreased individual responsibility for personal health. Georgia's future is a society which promotes a healthy and productive existence for its citizens. \n \nThe Environment Georgians are blessed to live in a state with remarkable \necological diversity. Creating a better environment in a rapidly growing state is a major undertaking. Increasing population and development places growing pressure upon natural resources. Georgia is making major progress in the fight to preserve its environment. Through public-private partnerships the amount of land placed in conservation has been greatly increased. Significant steps are being taken to reduce water and air pollution and to limit soil and land erosion. Building on existing effective programs will form a strong base for the creation of an environmentally sound state in the future. \nAn Efficient and Effective State Government Delivering services to citizens in the most efficient and \neffective manner must be the primary concern of every government agency and every public employee. Changing long- \nterm operating procedures is difficult for any organization. The \nvery nature of government makes this challenge even more difficult for governmental organizations. A primary goal is breaking this mold and forcing state agencies at all levels to look at their operations in new ways. As public service providers, agencies must clearly identify their customers, focus their commitment and resources upon results, and be willing to measure their performance and be accountable. \nThese six major issue areas do not address every initiative or service that state government now provides or should provide. However, these six areas are critical to setting the direction for state government as we begin to move into the changing world ofthe twenty-first century. This plan represents an important road map for the citizens of Georgia and state government. \nSUMMARY \nAs Georgia state government moves forward in the implementation of this plan, several tools, including strategic planning, will be utilized by agencies to assist the citizens in realizing this vision for the future. With the advent ofresultsbased budgeting, redirection (a budget tool for creating efficiencies in state government), Quality Service Georgia and performance management through GeorgiaGain, state government is poised to create a system of quality services in which citizens are considered customers. All of these tools will create a more responsive and efficient state government and make this vision for Georgia a reality. \nFor our citizens and those individuals in state government, this plan will provide the direction that will take the sJate into the next century. \nEvery citizen of Georgia has a stake in our state's future. Through planning and sound management practices, with an eye on efficiency and effectiveness, state government will become a partner with citizens in building a dynamic Georgia. \n \n21 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nTwo changes have been made in the F. Y. 1998 Budget Report of the State of Georgia: \n The first phase of implementing Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) is included as a part of the budget presentation of each department. \n The Program Information section has been abolished. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING \nResults-Based Budgeting is a new initiative that divides all state government activities into programs. The future of all programs, in terms of their continuing existence and funding level, will be determined by how well they measure up to the measurements that will be recommended in the future by the Governor and approved by the General Assembly. \nThe first phase of Results-Based Budgeting is presented in two parts for each department in this Budget Report. The first part, Program Summaries, presents each program by name, purpose and goals. The second part, Program Fund Allocations, provides the F.Y. 1997 appropriations and F.Y. 1998 Governor's recommendations for each program. \nFor more details about the new RBB initiative, turn to pages 18 and 19 of this document for a special writeup. \nThe Program Information section has been discontinued to help make room for the new RBB section and to avoid conflict with the performance measurements that will ultimately be the key component of RBB. \nDOCUMENT IMPROVEMENTS \nThe State Office of Planning and Budget continues to make improvements in the Budget Report to make the document more user friendly and more informative. This guide explains the various sections of the document to help readers understand its contents. \nThe Budget Report represents the Governor's recommendations to the General Assembly for state expenditures during the upcoming F.Y. 1998. The report also includes a wide range of other information, such as revenue growth, prior years' expenditures by agency; the roles and responsibilities of all state departments; details about the strategies and services for each department. \nTHREE BUDGET DOCUMENTS \n \nThe Governor's budget recommendations to the 1997 General Assembly are embodied in two budget documents, with a third document published after the session to explain the actual appropriation approved. \nThe document you are now reading is the F. Y. 1998 Budget Report. It embraces the Governor's spending recommendations for F.Y. 1998 that begins July 1, 1997 and ends June 30, 1998. It is commonly called the outyear budget. \nAn Amended Budget Report details spending changes recommended by the Governor for the fiscal year underway when the General Assembly meets in regular session in January of each year. \nThe Budget in Brief is published after the session ends and covers all new or amended expenditures authorized by the General Assembly for the current fiscal year and for the next fiscal year. \nTHE REDIRECTION INITIATIVE \nBeginning with F. Y. 1997, a new dimension was added to the State of Georgia's budget process-redirection. An understanding of redirection and its impact on the budget is especially important in understanding the philosophy that is governing Governor Miller's approach to the budget during the last years of his Administration While the impact of redirection is spread throughout the entire budget, it especially impacts two sections in each department-~ the Financial Summary and Budget Summary pages. \nRedirection is a continuing thrust by Governor Miller to deal with a projected long-term trend of slower revenue growth at the same time that citizens are demanding better services from government. Through redirection, Governor Miller said that he expects all agencies to rethink how they do business. He wants them to study their expenditures carefully and eliminate or downsize those activities that are no longer needed. \nTo achieve this goal, Governor Miller ordered all department heads to present F. Y. 1998 budget requests based on a reallocation of at least five cent of an agency's F.Y. 1996 adjusted base budget, with the reallocated funds to be used for three purposes: \n To fund ongoing services or enhancements within an agency using the current level of resources. \n To fund growth in formula and entitlement related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas. \n \n22 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \n To fund growth in formula and entitlement related services in a way that minimizes the amount of new resources historically required in these areas. \n To increase fund availability for priority areas within state government as a whole. \nThe F.Y. 1998 redirection level could not exceed 100 percent of the F. Y. 1997 adjusted base budget. \n \nIDGHLIGHTS \nThe Highlights page for each department provides a summary of new or expanded services that are being recommended for that department by the Governor. The page may be omitted for any agency that does not have sufficient enhancements to justify a separate page for Highlights. \n \nThe adjusted base budget was determined in two stages. First, all non-recurring expenditures were deducted from the F. Y. 1997 budget. Second, funds were added to annualize carry-forward requirements such as 1997 salary adjustments and enhancements. \nOnce the adjusted base budget was determined, agency heads were allowed to request enhancement funds for new or expanded services requested above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests, however, were limited to 6.5 percent of the adjusted base. \nGenerally speaking, enhancement funds represent a funding level that in recent years has been known as improvement fund requests. The major difference is that there is now a cap on enhancement funds whereas there was no cap on funds requested for improvements. Also, much of the funding that was once requested as improvement funds must now be requested in redirected dollars, not the add-on dollars represented by enhancement allocations. \nTHE 1998 BUDGET REPORT \nDepartments can have as many as 11 separate sections in this F. Y. 1998 Budget Report, with each section providing a different level of information about the Governor's proposed spending program for the upcoming year. Following is an explanation of each section. \nORGANIZATION CHART \nAn Organization Chart precedes each agency's section in the document. The chart displays the divisions that make up each department, with a description of the services performed by each division. The charts have been reformatted to make them more uniform and readable than in the past. \nThe numbers in each block represent total budgeted state positions as of October 1, 1995 for each division. The total number of positions budgeted for each department is listed at the top of the page. \n \nFINANCIAL SUMMARY \nThe Financial Summary provides up to 12 different levels of budget information by object class, including expenditures for two prior years, the current budget, agency requests and the Governor's recommendations. \nThe first page will include the following information concerning Expenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests: \n F.Y. 1995 and F.Y. 1996 actual expenditures.  F.Y. 1997 current operating budget.  F.Y. 1998 agency requests by redirection level, enhancements and totals. \nThe second page will include the following information concerning the F. Y. 1998 Governor's Recommendations: \n Adjusted Base.  Funds to Redirect.  Additions.  Redirection Totals.  Enhancements.  Totals. \nTotal State Funds are shown at the end of each column, along with the number of positions and motor vehicles. \nBUDGET SUMMARY \nThe Budget Summary explains the Governor's Recommendations, as displayed by object class in the Financial Summary section, from a perspective of the new budget initiatives being recommended by the Governor concerning new, expanded or directed programs and services that are to be funded. Each column Qf the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary is explained in sequence in the Budget Summary. \n ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET. The first line lists the existing state appropriations for F. Y. 1997, adjusted to include budget transfers between \n \n23 \n \n READER'S GUIDE \n \nappropriations that were necessary before work could begin on developing recommendations for F.Y. 1998 spending. These adjustments include additional funds to annualize salary adjustments and reductions for nonrecurring expenditures. These adjustments to the 1997 appropriation total result in an Adjusted Base, which is the starting point for the Governor in making decisions on his F.Y. 199 budget recommendations. \n REDIRECTION FUNDS. The section on Funds to Redirect is an explanation of the numbers displayed on column two of the Governor's Recommendations page of the Financial Summary. The Additions section explains column three, while the Total Redirection Level number represents column four. \n \nCAPITAL OUTLAY \nA four-year capital outlay plan is displayed in this section by each agency. The display is divided into two sequences. First, the Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 1998 are displayed, along with projects requested but not recommended. Together, these projects make up the first year of the plan. Shown next are agency projections for the next three fiscal years--1999, 2000 and 2001. \nThe cost of construction is listed for all projects, by cash or bonds, either as recommended by the Governor for F.Y.1998 or as estimated by the departments. \nAPPENDICES \n \n ENHANCEMENT FUNDS. Column five is explained in this section, separated by Enhancement Funds and Capital Outlay. The Total State Funds number matches with column six. \nFUNCTIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY \n \nSeveral items of general background information are displayed in this section, including state surplus for the prior two years, historical information and current statistical data about state bonds, a three-year record of authorized positions, and a glossary of budget-related terms. \n \nFunctional budgets by total and state funds are displayed in this section for the current year's appropriations and for the following fiscal year. \nROLES AND RESPONSmILITIES \nThe missions that each department must fulfill as required by law, policy or mandate are described in this section by law, policy or mandate. The way each department is organized to carry out these missions is also described. \n \nTHE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \nReaders interested in a detailed explanation of how the budget process works in Georgia are urged to see a separate section on this topic in the Appendices of this document. The section explains the various sources of state revenues, how budgets are approved and how budgets are administered. The explanation includes how current budgets are amended and how original budgets are passed for the following fiscal year. \n \nSTRATEGIES AND SERVICES \n \nThe Strategies and Services section describes the programs underway for each department to carry out the missions, focusing on new or expanded operations, as well as results. Charts and graphics are especially important to this section. \n \n24 \n \n Financial Summaries \n \n ESTIMATED FUND AVAILABILITY, BUDGETS AND SURPLUS \n \nSURPLUS: State Funds Surplus Audited Agencies' Lapse - State Funds Lottery Surplus Audited Agencies' Lapse - Lottery Total Surplus \nRESERVES: Midyear Adjustment Reserve \n \nFISCAL YEAR 1997 \n \nFISCAL YEAR 1998 \n \n$216,436,925 126,049,247 124,142,354 9,728,321 \n$476,356,847 \n \n$104,461,844 \n \nREVENUES: \nState Revenue Estimate Additional assessments to be collected by the Insurance \nCommissioner and deposited into the Treasury during the first quarter ofF.Y. 1998.

This reserve serves as a savings account or \"rainy day\" fund for the state should revenue collections decline unexpectedly or uncontrollably. The Reserve is created and maintained by allocating any surplus revenue collections of the state to this account up to three percent of net revenue collections, excluding lottery funds and the Indigent Care Trust Fund. Additional surplus over three percent is available for appropriation. \n \nThe status of the reserve for the last 12 fiscal years follows: \n \nFY 1996 FY 1995 FY 1994 FY 1993 FY 1992 FY 1991 FY 199O FY 1989 FY 1988 FY 1987 FY 1986 FY 1985 \n \n$ 313,385,534 288,769,754 267,195,474 \n122,640,698 * \n-0-0-0194,030,593 176,727,306 162,639,563 150,621,753 138,234,402 \n \n* Partially filled \n \n33 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \nState law (50-27-1 et seq. O.C.G.A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in four areas: voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; capital improvements for education;, and costs of providing technology training to teachers and repairing and maintaining instructional technology. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $510,000,000 for F.Y. 1998. The Governor recommends $510,000,000 for the following programs. \nVoluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year-Olds \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $208,545,359 in F.Y. 1998 to serve 60,000 fouryear-olds. This funding is based on public school programs serving 26,868 four-year-olds, and all other private providers serving 33,132 four-year-olds. Public schools will receive $3,125.23 in base earnings per student. \nThe reimbursement rates for private providers are based on region due to varying costs of providing services. Weekly rates for F.Y. 1998 for the 36-week program represent a 3 percent increase over the F.Y. 1997 rates and are as follows: \n \nWith a State-Certificated Teacher: \n \nZone 1* Zone 2* Zone 3* \n \n$89.58 $80.64 $75.08 \n \nWith a Non-Certificated Teacher: \n \nZone 1* Zone 2* Zone 3* \n \n$82.11 $73.90 $65.69 \n \n* These zones are based on the 1994 survey of local market rates for \nchild care sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Family and Children's Services in accordance with federal regulations. The zones are as follows: Zone 1 -- Metro Atlanta; Zone 2 -- Other Metro Georgia; Zone 3 -- Rural Georgia. \nThe total funding includes $19,327,778 for at-risk services including extended day services for at-risk four-year-olds to allow their parents to participate in work or training and family service coordinators for families of at-risk four-year-olds. In addition, there is $400,000 to fund start-up costs for the expansion from 57,000 students in F.Y. 1997 to 60,000 in F.Y. 1998. There is also $2.8 million for training of new teachers, $2,586,185 for administration of the program, and $300,000 to complete phase-out funding for portable classrooms. \n \nHelping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F.Y. 1998 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in the 1993-1994 school year and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE grant at any Georgia public college or eligible private institution in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE grants in 1993-1994 and after who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. Beginning in the 19971998 school year, college sophomores who achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants in their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and after who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year, but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year, will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE grants at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive grants for their senior year. HOPE grant awards for eligible students attending public colleges will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grant awards for freshmen and sophomores enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. All juniors and seniors who are otherwise eligible for tuition equalization grants will be entitled to receive a second-tier tuition equalization grant of $1,500. This second-tier HOPE Tuition Equalization Grant will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants. HOPE grants will be paid to the colleges. \nAll students working toward a diploma at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in the 1992-1993 school year, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant. Beginning in the 1997-8 school year, students working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state who earned a 3.0 \n \n34 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAMS \n \ncumulative grade point average in their freshman year, whether or not they were eligible for HOPE grants in their freshman year, will be eligible for HOPE grants for their sophomore year. Each grant will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be paid to the technical institutes. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \nThe HOPE program will be administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in F.Y. 1998 is projected to be $160,772,911. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scho1arsh;ps for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for F.Y. 1998 is $755,480. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1998 is $249,736. \nThe HOPE Teacher Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1998 will be $10,000,000. \n \nThe Postsecondary Options Program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 20-2-161 O.e.G.A. The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options Program. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1998 is $1,661,000. \nThe total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $175,439,127. \nCapital Expenditures for Education \nFor F.Y. 1998, the Governor recommends $182,046,985 in capital expenditures for the following projects: for the State Board of Education, $500,000 to provide funds for technology and equipment at CrossRoads alternative schools, and $3,804,500 for the installation of a coordinated fund accounting, fmancial analysis, and student information system; for the Board of Regents, $7,100,000 to continue funding for the Chancellor's Initiatives funded in F.Y. 1997, $15,000,000 for the Equipment, Technology and Construction Trust Fund, $6,454,422 for an Internet connection for public schools, libraries, technical institutes, and public colleges, $1,500,000 to purchase distance learning programs for GPTC, and $1,120,000 to provide a distance learning studio and virtual museum capability for Fernbank Science Center; for the Department of Technical and Adult Education, $5,000,000 to construct a satellite center in Burke County, $10,500,000 for an Ogeechee Tech classroom building ($5,500,000) and Heart of Georgia Tech business and industry training center ($5,000,000), $3,500,000 for equipment replacement, and $1,040,000 for equipment for 26 new full-time literacy instructors. \nTechnology and Training \n \nThe Promise Program provides forgivable loans of $3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of course work in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, one-fourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, child care, transportation or other expenses related to education. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1998 will be $2,000,000. \n \nFor technology training, equipment, and related technology needs, the Governor recommends the following: for the State Board of Education, $39,241,800, or $30 per FTE, for all local school technology, teacher training, and equipment purposes, including vocational equipment for new schools; also for the State Board of Education, $25,564,956 for te~hnology specialists for local systems at the rate of one specialist for every two schools; for the State Board of Regents, $3,000,000 for hardware and software for instructional technology, including teacher education. \n \n35 \n \n GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED LOTTERY EXPENDITURES By Agency F.Y. 1998 \n \n282,007,451 SBOE 55.30% \n \n173,778,127 GSFC 34.07% \n \n34,174,422 Regents 6.70% \n \n20,040,000 DTAE 3.93% \n \n(]J SBOE (State Board of Education)  GSFC (Georgia Student Finance Commision) (]J DTAE (Department of Technical and Adult Education) \no Regents (Regents, University System of Georgia) \n \n36 \n \n GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED LOTTERY EXPENDITURES By Program F.Y. 1998 \n \n175,439,127 Scholarships \n34.40% \n \n208,545,359 Pre-Kindergarten \n40.89% \n \n57,518,922 Capital Expenditure \n11.28% \n Capital Expenditure \n Pre-Kindergarten \n \n68,496,592 Technology Training \n13.43% \nEJ Scholarships \no Technology Training \n \n37 \n \n LOTTERY RESERVES \nGeorgia's lottery laws require the establishment oftwo reserves that are funded as a percentage oflottery collections to avoid disruption in programs should collections fall short of annual appropriations. \nThe Shortfall Reserve Subaccount was included in the original law and required that an amount be set aside each year equal to 10 percent ofthe total lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding year. Ifnet funds in the account are not sufficient to meet appropriations, funds shall be drawn from the reserve to make up the shortage. \nFunds have been set aside for the reserve each year and totaled $50,306,302 on June 30, 1996. \nThe lottery law was amended during the 1994 legislative session to require that a Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount also be maintained within the Lottery for Education Account. \nThe scholarship reserve law requires that the subaccount be fully established over five years at a rate of 10 percent a year until the reserve equals 50 percent of the amount of scholarship proceeds disbursed during the preceding year. \nLottery surplus available at the end ofF.Y. 1995 was sufficient to meet immediate needs in the amended F.Y. 1996 budget and still leave enough funds over to fully fund the scholarship reserve in its first year. Governor Miller wrote the State Auditor a letter requesting that the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount be fully funded from the 1995 surplus, and the Auditor complied with the Governor's request. \n \nThe two lottery reserves as of June 30, 1996 total as follows: \n \nShortfall Reserve Subaccount Scholarship Shortfall Reserve Subaccount \n \n$ 50,306,302 77,718,586 \n \nTOTAL LOTTERY RESERVES \n \n$ 128,024,888 \n \n38 \n \n GOVERNOR'S REDIRECTION RECOMMENDATION \n \nThe Governor's F. Y. 1998 budget recommends $349 million to be redirected from agencies' adjusted base budgets into higher priority areas. The following chart depicts changes made in agencies' F. Y. 1998 budgets that enabled the Governor to focus spending on education, new correctional facilities for adult and juvenile offenders, and salary adjustments. The redirection process also was instrumental in allowing the Governor to include a major tax cut in his revenue estimate which was approved by the 1996 session of the General Assembly. The agenices' F. Y. 1998 redirection level reflects improved services from efficiencies undertaken by department heads and their boards as well as the identification and elimination of various efforts considered to be a lower priorities. The chart below shows each agency's recommended redirection level, not including any enhancements. The enhancement level recommended by the Governor for each department will change the final level of funding for each department. \n \nDepartments/Agencies \n \nState Funds - Fiscal Year 1998 \n \nI I I Adjusted Base \n \nFunds to Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \nRedirection Totals \n \nGeneral Assembly Audits, Department of Judicial Branch Administrative Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Banking and Finance, Department of Children and Youth Services, Department of Community Affairs, Department of Corrections, Department of Defense, Department of Education, State Board of Forestry Commission, State Georgia Bureau of Investigation Governor, Office of the Human Resources, Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Department of Insurance, Office of Commissioner of Labor, Department of Law, Department of Medical Assistance, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Safety, Department of Public School Employees' Retirement System Public Service Commission Regents, University System of Georgia 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 General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund \n \n26,278,571 19,706,494 85,346,430 41,070,205 42,411,104 9,467,330 150,991,019 26,689,804 709,960,759 4,307,394 4,049,909,812 35,499,007 46,340,427 30,086,810 1,220,551,529 19,158,206 15,311,130 20,514,277 12,596,664 1,321,488,198 94,018,493 114,208,842 14,212,500 8,440,012 1,320,665,329 88,919,598 30,660,913 2,137,810 32,737,146 4,130,000 205,467,936 535,447,604 21,120,150 10,760,252 341,225,527 \n \n(1,147,410) (1,252,765) \n(462,740) (6,609,014) (2,850,322) (21,465,126) \n(215,400) (66,419,448) \n(1,749,175) (388,194) (910,403) \n(67,564,572) (837,300) (766,553) (25,257) (99,686) \n(36,989,449) (3,748,997) (4,959,474) \n(420,888) (70,060,937) \n(3,128,897) (1,356,460) \n(134,064) (1,642,475) \n(60,000) (10,283,031) (41,076,537) \n(1,754,930) (621,906) \n \n397,894 905,952 10,315,873 829,625 308,379 393,330 6,552,452 2,825,496 18,444,042 115,400 59,721,621 1,066,529 861,225 115,000 28,671,257 599,500 216,330 \n157,686 35,000,000 \n2,838,786 4,296,622 \n239,402 65,111,805 \n6,182,668 954,550 131,413 \n1,642,475 \n10,902,787 47,938,697 \n74,524 543,757 \n \n26,676,465 20,612,446 95,662,303 40,752,420 41,466,718 \n9,397,920 150,934,457 26,664,978 706,939,675 \n4,207,394 4,043,211,985 \n34,816,361 46,813,458 29,291,407 1,181,658,214 18,920,406 14,760,907 20,489,020 12,654,664 1,319,498,749 93,108,282 113,545,990 14,212,500 8,258,526 1,315,716,197 91,973,369 30,259,003 2,135,159 32,737,146 4,,070,000 206,087,692 542,309,764 19,439,744 10,682,103 341,225,527 \n \nTOTAL STATE FUNDS \n \n10,711,837,282 39 \n \n(349,001,410) 308,355,077 \n \n10,671,190,949 \n \n RECOMMENDED SALARY ADJUSTMENTS \n \nI.

Both systems allow communication from a central point to a remote area. \nAUTHORITY Section 40-3548 Georgia Code Annotated. \n \n61 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department of Administrative Services provides an assortment of services to state agencies. A few of the areas in which the department furnishes agencies services or support are described below. The items featured are the: Child Support Tracking Accounting and Reporting System ($TARS), Electronic Benefits Transfer System (EBT), state agency and University System dial-in data communications service, the Workers' Compensation section's development of a transitional return to work program for injured state employees, and developments in the Printing Services section. \nCHILD SUPPORT TRACKING ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING SYSTEM ($TARS) \nThe department's Computer Services Division has developed and implemented a new computer system to better enable the Department of Human Resources' Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) to collect due and overdue child support payments from the parent responsible for these payments. Referred to as the Child Support Tracking Accounting and Reporting System ($TARS), Georgia's new system is the largest one of the five state systems nationwide to be federally certified as satisfying U.S. Department Health and Human Services standards for automating the tracking and recovery of child support payments. \n$TARS is one of the main tools DFCS' Child Support Recovery Program uses to locate the parent responsible for child support payments and to collect these payments from that individual. $TARS accomplishes its mission of fmding and collecting from delinquent paying parents through interfacing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Parent Locator System, and private sector organizations (i.e. credit bureaus, collection agencies, etc.). The system also communicates with systems in \n \nother states via the Child Support Enforcement Network, and is accessible to DFCS field personnel through field office personal computers. \n$TARS possesses features which offer superior data processing, payment check sorting, and data and fmancial control capabilities than was available with the previous system used. The improved technology and design of $TARS has resulted in DFCS locating defaulting parents and recovering child support payments much more accurately and quickly. Payments are forwarded to the proper party sooner and more frequently than under the former system. In the near future, $TARS will interface with all state agencies issuing occupational and professional licenses to more comprehensively enforce the recently enacted state law requiring the suspension of these licenses belonging to parents overdue on child support payments. The system will also begin charging interest on unpaid child support payments as required in another recent change to the state law. $TARS is planning to add the Social Security Administration to its list of government system interfaces to further expand efforts in locating defaulting parents. \nELECTRONIC BENEFITS TRANSFER SYSTEM (EBT) \nIn response to recent federal initiatives concerning the development of a nationwide system that will electronically deliver government benefits, the Computer Services Division of the Department of Administrative Services and the Division of Family and Children Services of the Department of Human Resources are working jointly to design and implement such an electronic benefits transfer system (EBT) for Georgia. Georgia's effort is part of an eight state coalition organized to meet the challenge of implementing an EBT system for most government benefits by the 1999 federal deadline. Georgia \n \nplans to have its EBT system operational by December 1997. \nWhen implemented, the EBT system will be available in the 189 county assistance offices serving the state's 350,000 welfare recipients. The system will transfer state issued Aid for Dependent Children (AFDC) and food stamp benefits to recipient accounts to which recipients will have access using their EBT debit card and personal identification number. The EBT system is expected to save the state $1.57 million annually stemming from the elimination of paper food stamps, welfare vouchers and benefit checks. The improved monitoring, accounting, and reporting of benefit accounts and payments this system affords is anticipated to result in the reduction of lost or stolen benefits, easier recipient access to their issued benefits, and savings from the efficient delivery of one or more types of awarded benefits through an eligible recipient's single EBT debit card. As the EBT system is refmed, it may include the delivery of other benefits and services, besides AFDC and food stamp benefits, as is deemed appropriate. \nDIAL-IN DATA COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE \nThe department, working with the University System, has initiated a dialin data communications service for state agencies and University System institutions. This joint project is the culmination of earlier independent efforts of both groups. Unlike the previous data communication ventures, an outside vendor, MCI, was chosen to administer this joint dial-in data communications service. Use of an outside vendor was prompted by the need for flexibility in incorporating changes in technology into the system without expanding the staff overseeing and managing this data communications network. The vendor arrangement allows the state to continue to effectively deliver services in an efficient manner. \n \n62 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Strategies and Services \n \nDuring F.Y. 1997, various components of this new system will implemented allowing state agencies and the University System schools greater, more convenient access to data from most locations around the state. One particular application of this dialin system's technology is providing the public access to University System and state technical institute library materials and periodicals from a broad range of locations reaching most of the state's populace. Another benefit ofthis dialin network is the enhanced communication it encourages wihin and between state agencies leading to improved operation of state government and better service to the state's citizens. \nTRANSITIONAL RETURN TO WORK PROGRAM \nThe department's Workers' Compensation section is currently developing a transitional return to work program which is designed to help injured state employees return to work sooner. The goal of this program is to restore an employee's productivity after an injury under a timely process that results in less time lost from the job and reduced medical costs. \n \nWorkers' Compensation Payments \nPayment \nCurrently, the Department's plan concerning this project consists of five phases: \n Establish policies and strategies for handling behavioral issues and stress claims. \n Design a plan to reduce medical expenses and the cost of time lost from the job. \n Decrease Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) exposure through fair implementation. \n Create a framework for doctors to understand and support this program. \nIn the long term, successful implementation ofthis program will not only maintain employee productivity, \n \nbut reduce the cost of lost productivity and medical expenses to state government. \nPRINTING SERVICES The department's Printing Services \nsection, continuing a process begun in F.Y. 1994, has now completed decentralizing the responsibility of handling and/or coordinating the contracting of state agency printing and graphic arts needs. The final stage of this decentralization occurred at the start of F.Y. 1997 with the dissolution ofthe section's Graphic Arts unit due to agencies being able to contract for graphic arts services more effectively and at less long term cost.

The following strategies and services overviews illustrate activities occurring in the Food and Milk Safety, Pesticide and Pesticide Container Disposal, Agriculture Product Promotion, Fuel and Measures, Structural Pest Control, and the Animal Protection programs. \n \nmeat for sell to the public. Another event affecting the entire meat inspection program is the federal government's stipulation that state meat inspection programs convert to the Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS). This system electronically generates an objective inspection schedule and criteria based on the specified meat establishment's processes and compliance history. The long range goal of the Meat Inspection program is to provide inspections that are comparable to those conducted at federally inspected establishments in degree and scope, and to effectively \n \nPESTICIDE AND PESTICIDE CONTAINER DISPOSAL \nThe Pesticide Division is coordinating a program in conjunction with local governments and organizations to collect plastic pesticide containers for recycling. Presently, 30 counties are involved in this endeavor. The program is projected to recycle 150,000 pounds of chipped plastic in 1996 through these efforts. The division is also sponsoring a program, through a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to collect pesticides which can no longer be legally used. In \n \nFOOD AND MILK SAFETY The Food and Milk Safety \nProgram consists ofthe following types of inspections: retail food store, meat and milk. The rising number of nontraditional retail sales establishments expanding into the retail food sector has prompted the department to begin implementing a new electronic inspection system to cope with the added workload and other demands these developments in the retail food industry have placed on the department's inspectors. Additionally, the department's retail food inspectors are also continuing to receive advanced level training in all areas of food processing, including in-store meat processing, seafood handling, deli operations and bakery operations in order to remain abreast of developments in the retail food field. \nMeat inspectors currently inspect and license 158 red meat slaughter and processing facilities for the purpose of assuring the production of wholesome, unadulterated and properly labeled meat/poultry products. The Meat Inspection program's responsibilities were expanded with the commencement of the voluntary inspection program concerning ratite (i.e. ostrich, emu, rhea) slaughter and processing.

The Department currently operates 20 Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) statewide, with a bed capacity of 726. In addition to temporary secure detention, these centers provide education, individual guidance, counseling and recreation. Each center is required to have weekly religious services for youth desiring them. Clothing, meals, medical and emergency dental services are a part of each center's basic care program. These RYDCs handled 23,284 admissions during F.Y. 1996. \nThe Division of Campus Operations is responsible for the management of the five State Youth Development Campuses (YDCs). The campuses, which are secure institutions located in Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Milledgeville and Wrightsville, house serious juvenile offenders and adjudicated youth sentenced up to 90 days in a YDC by a juvenile court judge. Macon serves females and the rest are all male facilities. The campuses provide academic and vocational programs, medical services, individual and group counseling and religious services. All five campuses have school programs accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. \nEach of the five campuses serves a different population: Lorenzo Benn (Atlanta) has a capacity of 148, of which 24 are reserved for adjudicated youth sentenced to up to 90 days in a YDC. The campus serves males who have been assessed as having medium to high public risk ratings. Augusta serves males who have been assessed as having medium to high public risk ratings and youth who have significant prior histories of delinquency or previous YDC placements. The capacity of this campus is 368 of which 80 are reserved for 90-day youth. Macon has a capacity of 166 ofwhich 96 are assigned for regular placements and 70 for 90-day youth. These youth have been assessed as having medium to high public risk. Bill E. Ireland (Milledgeville) has acurrent capacity of 522 beds, with 320 being for regular admissions and 202 for 90-day youth. This campus serves those youth who have been assessed as having high public risk ratings, a history of aggressive behavior or escapes, and/or youth with medical needs. \n \nWrightsville has a capacity of 500 of which 200 are assigned for regular placements and 300 for 90-day youth. This campus serves those youth who have been assessed as having medium to high public risk ratings. \nThe Division of Campus Operations also manages four major contracts to provide facilities for committed youth: Irwin Youth Development Campus, Pelham Youth Development Campus (YDC), Davisboro Youth Development Facility and Eastman Youth Development Facility (YDF). The contract for the Irwin YDC is with the Board of Commissioners of Irwin County which contracts with a private corporation to operate the 316 bed campus. The Department contracts with a private vendor to operate the Pelham YDC which will provide 120 beds for female juveniles. The contract for the Davisboro YDF is with the Department of Corrections to maintain a 100 bed facility for juvenile offenders. The Eastman YDF was established by the Legislature in Fiscal Year 1990 as a specially commissioned 100 bed institution solely dedicated to the housing and rehabilitation of delinquent youth. The youth are transferred from the Department of Children and Youth Services after completing due process procedures. The funding for the Eastman YDF is appropriated in the Department of Corrections budget. In F.Y. 1996,7,370 youth were served in the youth development campuses and youth development facilities. \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS The Division of Community Programs is responsible for \nthe management of community-based services, which include residential and non-residential treatment programs. Residential programs include group homes, attention and contract homes, specialized residential services, wilderness programs, short-term treatment programs and Project Challenge. Non-residential programs include in-home supervision (which includes electronic monitoring), community schools, multi-services centers, intensive supervision, aftercare and general court services. In 135 counties, departmental staff also provide intake and probation services for the juvenile court, and in 13 counties these functions are shared between DCYS and county staff. Youth committed to the Department and not sentenced to a YDC are under the supervision of Community Programs. Each youth is evaluated on several different measures, and the composite score of the risk and needs assessments determines placement options and level of supervision. \nAUTHORITY Titles 15-11,39-3 and 49-4A, Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n99 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES \nStrategies and Services \n \nYouth committed or sentenced to the Department of Children and Youth Services have doubled over the past five years. Overall, Georgia's incarcerated juvenile population for Fiscal Year 1997 to Fiscal Year 2000 is projected to grow at an average rate of eight percent annually. Juveniles account for 20 percent of the property crimes, 10 percent of the violent crimes and 17 percent of the index crimes (such as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft) reported in Georgia. \nThe School Safety and Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 1994 increased the maximum length of time that a juvenile could be committed to a Youth Development Campus from 18 months to 60 months as a designated felon. The legislation also allows a juvenile court judge to sentence a juvenile offender for a specified term in a \n \nDCYS 90-day program. Lengths of sentences range from 60 to 180 days. This part of the legislation is being used extensively by juvenile court judges. Approximately 60 percent of the total number of youth served in the YDCs in Fiscal Year 1996 were under the 90-day provision. \nCOMMITMENTS Commitments of a youth to the \nDepartment of Children and Youth Services is often the fmal disposition of the Juvenile Court when probation or other alternative services have failed to prevent a chronic or serious offender from returning to the attention of the court. \nWhen a youth is committed to the department, a treatment plan is developed which includes counseling, supervision and placement. Possible placements include admission to a community-based treatment program, \n \n10,000 \n \nThe Number of Youth Served by the 90-Day Program Continues to Increase \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \n1999 \n \n2000 \n \nFiscll1Yean \n \nL~ 9O-Day Commitments \n \n Regular Commitments \n \nadmission to a YDC, referral to an outside agency or placement in the youth's own home under specified supervision. The department maintains a classification system of committed youth. The system provides staff with information to: assist in placement decisions; assist in establishing program priorities once a placement is made; and establish a method for security classification for Youth Development Campus placement. Three assessment instruments are completed on all youth: \n Placement Assessments are used to determine whether a youth will be placed at a YDC or in an alternative program; \n Risk Assessments determine the youth's potential or risk to re-offend and include factors such as age at first adjudication, number of informal adjustments, number of prior out-ofhome placements, runaways, school problems, use of weapons, etc; \n Needs Assessments determine the treatment needs of each youth. Areas of concern are residential support, medical, mental health, alcohol and drug treatment, educational and vocational needs. \n \nEDUCATION \n \nEnabling legislation creating the \n \nDepartment of Children and Youth \n \nServices included the department's \n \ndesignation as a Special School \n \nDistrict. The DCYS Commissioner \n \nserves as the school superintendent. \n \nThe Board of DCYS functions as the \n \nBoard of Education. The education \n \nprograms are accredited by the Georgia \n \nAccrediting Commission. \n \nThe \n \nprograms provide a full range of \n \nacademic education which includes \n \nregular education services and special \n \neducation. \n \nAnnually over six thousand \n \njuveniles are educated at the DCYS \n \nfacilities, meeting the required 300 \n \nminutes of education of instructions \n \nrequired of regular school systems. \n \n100 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES -- Strategies and Services \n \nCurrently the YDCs have an average daily population of 1,100 students, the RYDCs have an average daily population of 1,200 students and the community programs serve an average of 105 students daily. The DCYS school system ranks in size with such county systems as Union, Pike and White county school systems in average daily population. \nREGIONAL YOUTH DETENTION CENTERS \nThe Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) provide a statewide network of regional detention services for all youth who are determined by the juvenile courts to require secure detention. The primary mission of the RYDCs is to provide detention services for juveniles until there has been a disposition of their case resulting either in commitment to the department or being released. Currently there are 20 RYDCs with a capacity of 726 beds located statewide. In addition the department contracts with Fulton county for 100 beds in the metro area. \nYOUTH DEVELOPMENT CAMPUSES \nYouth Development Campuses (YDC) are residential institutions providing education and treatment for those youth committed to the Department of Children and Youth Services by Juvenile or Superior Courts of Georgia. \nFive campuses, Augusta YDC, Bill E. Ireland YDC, Macon YDC, Lorenzo Benn YDC, and Wrightsville YDC currently have a total capacity of 1,704 beds. The department also manages four major contracts, Irwin YDC, Pelham YDC, Davisboro YDF, and Eastman YDF which provide a total capacity of 654 beds. \nIn order to meet the growing commitments of juveniles in the Georgia juvenile system, the Governor has authorized the department to expand current facilities and open new facilities expanding the number of \n \nAn Increasing Youth Development Campus \nPopulation Leads to More Beds \n3,500 \n \n3,000 \n \n2,500 \n \n2,000 \n \n1,500 \n \n1,000 \n \n500 \n \no \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \n1999 \n \n2000 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nBeds \n \nPopulation \n \navailable YDC beds to 3,014. Expansions are at the Lorenzo Benn YDC (20-beds) and the Eastman YDF (300-beds). The new facilities will be opening in McIntosh and Emanuel counties with 168 beds each during fiscal year 1998. \nThe department has developed and expanded the Boot Camp program which is a major program within the campus system to deliver services to the growing number ofjuveniles. \nThe Boot Camp program is based on a para-military model with spartan living conditions and strict discipline. The youth receive educational instructions as required by the Department of Education. They receive daily training in drill and ceremony, physical training, work details and group counseling. All movement is in a military fashion. All of the boot camp programs are for the 90-day youth except for the program at the Bill E. Ireland YDC, which serves regular committed juveniles. \n \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS Many of the youth committed to \nthe department do not need to be incarcerated. These youth can be appropriately placed in specialized programs that range from community treatment programs that emphasize tutoring, counseling andjob training to residential programs for those youth with more serious behavior or mental disorders. \nThe community treatment programs include Non-residential programs as follows: \n Court Services which provide intake, counseling, case management, probation, detention planning, supervision and aftercare services in 159 counties. \n Community Schools are nonresidential, community-based alternative schools for delinquent and unruly offenders. The department works with the local school systems to provide remedial and basic educational \n \n101 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES -- Strategies and Services \n \nservices to the youth and assist their reentry into the education system. \n In-Home Supervision allows the youth to remain at home while awaiting court -hearings or out of home placements. The level of supervision and frequency of contacts by the court service worker is determined by an assessment process. \n Intensive Supervision minimize out-of-home placements by providing daily contact with youth, which extend into the evening hours. The program involves a variety of supervision techniques which include but are not limited to electronic monitoring, curfew checks, drug and alcohol testing, home, school and work visits. \n Aftercare Services are provided to youth returning to home from YDCs and other out-of-home placements. \n \nThe program is accomplished by assigning each youth returning to the community to an aftercare team who ensures each youth is afforded education and supervision services in hope of returning the youth back into the community successfully. \nThe community programs include Residential Programs as follows: \n Attention Homes provide a nonsecure alternative to detention in a RYDC or jail. Placements are located either with private families, group homes or larger institutions. They provide 24-hour emergency care for youth needing temporary placement. \n Group Homes / Contract Homes provide residential treatment for youth whose home situation is contributing to their behavior. Group Homes are state operated programs located in Albany, \n \nWinder, Gainesville and Savannah. Contract Homes are operated statewide with private institutions, community facilities and families. \n Wilderness Youth Development Programs and Outdoor Therapeutic Programs are outdoor -based treatment programs purchased from private providers. The budget includes five major programs: Baxley Wilderness Program; Blakely Wilderness Program; Middle Georgia Wilderness Program (Cochran); Georgia Wilderness Camping Program (White county); and the EXCEL program . \n \n$ Millions YDCs-$82.1 \n \nFY 1998 Program Fund Allocations \n \nLaw Enforcement $1.8 \n \nCommunity - $49.1 \n \n102 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS \nPURPOSE: Provide supervision, treatment and rehabilitation ofjuvenile offenders through planning, development and management of community based programs and services.

The department will redirect $1,967,500 and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) will redirect $481,392 to fund this new program. \nBusinesses and communities share concerns for the regions in which they reside. Labor markets, transportation infrastructure, telecommunication links, technical education and training facilities, and essential product and material suppliers are not confmed to community or county lines but are regional in nature. Increasingly, a community or county will only be competitive for business relocations and expansion if its region is competitive. \nThe Regional Economic Development Grant Program will be designed to encourage and support multi-county and regional collaboration for economic development. Projects eligible for funding will include regional industrial parks, water and sewer treatment facilities, regional transportation and communications facilities (not eligibIe for other funding), regional marketing and recruitment programs and other projects important to regional economic development. This new program responds to the requests of Georgia's local governments to reward and provide incentives for multi-county and regional economic development. \nFunding for this program in DCA comes primarily from redirecting funds from the Regional Economic Business Assistance (REBA) Progam and the Local Government Efficiency Grant Program. REBA for F.Y. 1998 will have $5.5 million primarily for economic development incentives to help close relocation and expansion deals for specific prospects. Also eligible for REBA funding are assessments of the economic impact of specific relocations and expansions and \n \nengineering and design assistance that is part ofa recruitment or \n \nexpansion incentive package. The Local Government Efficiency \n \nGrant Program will be eliminated. Created in 1993 it aimed to \n \nstimulate the consolidation of local government units and \n \nservices. To date, most of the funding has been for \n \nconsolidation studies or for consolidating 911 services and \n \nemergency services. \n \nOnly one major government \n \nconsolidation, has occurred - Augusta-Richmond County. \n \n $224,000 in Local Assistance Grants to provide state funding to assist Clark Atlanta University's Public Access and Teacher Education Programs ($134,000) and funding to assist with operational expenses ofthe Aviation Museum ($90,000). Clark Atlanta University uses the funding to provide scholarships to eligible students majoring in Education and Library Science. \nGEORGIA ENVIRONMENTALFACILITIES AUTHORITY \n \n $20 million in bonds to provide low interest loans to local governments for water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. \n \n $5 million for the removal and remediation of state-owned underground and above ground storage tanks.

The future growth of the state i\u0026 dependent upon the continued strength and viability of local governments. The Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) mission since its creation in 1977 by the Georgia General Assembly has been to improve Georgians' quality of life by enhancing the effectiveness of local governments and by maintaining a positive relationship between state government and the multitude of local governments in Georgia. \nDCA serves as an advocate for local governments and provides planning, management and financial assistance to help local officials meet the challenging community and economic development needs of the future. Moreover, the department serves as the Governor's representative to local communities in matters affecting social, economic or intergovernmental relations, and in this capacity provides mediation, consultation and research services to local governments. \nCOMPREHENSIVE PLANNING As a result ofthe Growth Strategies \nCommission, the Georgia Planning Act of 1989 was passed, creating a \"bottom up,\" comprehensive, integrated, and coordinated planning process initially to be conducted at the local government level, then at the regional and state levels. To ensure uniformity and consistency, DCA is responsible for the overall management of the planning process. \nFor local comprehensive planning the department, with assistance of a broad based policy group and associated work teams, developed a set of Minimum Planning Standards and Procedures to guide local governments in preparing their comprehensive plans. The planning standards include components such as environmental planning criteria, protection measures for mountain and river corridor resources, capital improvements, and \n \ndevelopments of regional impact.  To date, all but twelve of Georgia's 692 local governments have completed comprehensive plans meeting the requirements of the Georgia Planning Act. \nSome of the benefits resulting from local comprehensive planning include: the introduction of capital improvement budgeting for a number of local governments; new opportunities for consolidation of services/facilities with other governments; an update of zoning ordinances; an increase in local awareness of environmental protection issues; and an increase in adoption of historic preservation, tree and sign ordinances. \n \nREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT \n \nMany problems transcend local \n \nboundaries and multi-jurisdictional or \n \nregional solutions are needed. \n \nCommunities have asked for financial \n \nassistance in creating regional solutions. \n \nThe Governor is recommending such a \n \nprogram that focuses on regional \n \neconomic development activities. The \n \nRegional Economic Development Grant \n \nProgram is a grant program whose focus \n \nis to encourage and support multi- \n \ncounty/regional economic development \n \nprojects such as regional or multi- \n \ncounty industrial parks, water/sewer \n \nfacilities and regional marketing and \n \nrecruitment programs and regional \n \ntransportation and communications \n \nprojects. For F.Y. 1998 a total of \n \n$2,448,892 is recommend for this \n \nprogram. \n \nThe department is \n \ncontributing $1,967,500 and the Georgia \n \nEnvironmental Facilities Authority is \n \ncontributing $481,392. With this new \n \nprogram, the Regional Economic \n \nBusiness Assistance Grant Program \n \n(REBA) will be focused primarily on \n \neconomic development incentives for \n \nprospect driven projects. \n \nThe department also assists with \n \nregional planning and development \n \nthrough contracts with RDCs and other \n \neligible regional organizations to \n \naddress regional planning and \n \ndevelopment issues. For F.Y. 1998, \n \n$2.17 million is available for these \n \ncontracts. The funds are being used for \n \nactivities such as: providing information \n \nrequired by DCA for setting the regional \n \nplanning standards; providing \n \ntechnology (e.g., hardware, software, \n \nGeographic Information Systems \n \nenhancements) needed to facilitate use or \n \ndevelopment of information required in \n \nregional regional planning; and \n \npreparing regional plans. \n \nDCA is charged by law with \n \nconducting performance audits ofRDCs. \n \nThe RDCs are an essential element of \n \nthe \n \nstatewide \n \ncoordinated \n \ncomprehensive planning process with a \n \nmission to focus on local and regional \n \nplanning efforts. \n \nRDCs are \n \ngovernmental entities which exist for \n \nnonprofit and public purposes.

An addition to the authority's legislation in 1989 allowed for loans for solid waste management facilities from authority assets. In F.Y. 1995, GEFA assumed responsibility for administering two federal programs including the disbursement ofall federal energy related program funds and the administration of the State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) for sewer and wastewater projects. During F.Y. 1997, GEFA will receive two years of funding totaling approximately $25 million to administering a new federal drinking water program. These funds will be used primarily for loans to local governments for drinking water related \n \nprojects. The drinking water fund will be about $13 million in each subsequent fiscal year. \nIn F.Y. 1996, the responsibility of the removal and remediation of stateowned underground and above ground storage tanks was given to GEFA. The F.Y. 1996 budget included $5 million in G.O. bonds for assessment, remediation and removal of the tanks. Governor Miller is recommending another $5 million in F.Y. 1998 to bring stateowned fuel storage tanks (both underground and above ground) into compliance. One more year qf funding at the $5 million level will be required for the state to meet the requirements of the law for its tanks. \nSince the loan program for water and sewer construction started in 1984, GEFA has loaned approximately $347 million for 466 different projects to local governments. During Governor Miller's administration, the state has provided loan assistance to local governments for water and sewer projects for a total of $239,587,353. For F.Y. 1998 the Governor is again recommending $20 \n \nmillion in general obligation bonds for water/sewer and wastewater loans. \nGEORGIA AMERICORPS In response to President Bill \nClinton's signing of the National and Community Service Trust Act in 1993, Governor Zell Miller signed an executive order in the same year, creating the Georgia Commission for National and Community Service. The commission was charged with creating a program of community service for citizens in the State of Georgia. The intention is to meet critical needs (i.e., education, human, and public safety) in Georgia's communities by providing direct community-based service. To date, Georgia has over 400 Americorps members who provide over 600,000 hours ofcommunity service to rural and urban communities all over the state.

This prison bed expansion includes 384 beds at Pulaski State Prison and 384 beds at Augusta Correctional Medical Institution. \n $7,893,805 provides funds to annualize operational costs of 1,260 additional beds opened during Fiscal Year 1997. This includes 384 beds at Autry State Prison, 192 at Coastal State Prison, 192 beds at Lee State Prison, 192 beds at Hancock State Prison and 300 beds at Eastman Youth Development Facility. \n The Governor recommends privatization of 5 Transitional Centers and 17 Diversion Centers currently operated by the Department of Corrections. It is projected that a ten percent savings over the current state cost will be realized through this privatization. \n \n $5,067,000 is recommended for a 5% conditional pay increase for correctional officers who work in high security prisons. This includes 17 Level V and Level VI institutions which are the most secure and restrictive within the system. These institutions house inmates who are high escape risk, have a history of violence, were convicted of a heinous or notorious crime, or who present management problems at other institutions. The conditional pay for security staff at these high mission prisons will help ease the continuing recruitment and retention problems. \n $1,460,250 fimds a 5% special pay provision for food service and maintenance workers who directly supervise inmates. \n $2,527,769 is recommended to provide care and custody, medical and food costs for inmates placed in 1,830 beds added to existing prisons. \n \nF.Y. 1996 Cost Allocation \n(By Type of Facility/Supenision) \n \nEJI State Prisons \nD Transitional Centers \n~ County CIIJail Subsidies \n[ill Probation Detention Centers \n~ Probation Diversion Centers ~ Field Probation \n \n6.1% 3% 1.8% \n \n77.2% Total Costs: $691,462,382 \n \n127 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \n, \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Utilities Court Costs County Subsidy Jail Subsidy Central Repair Fund Payments to CSH -

More than 34,800 .ofthese offenders are serving'prison sentences. More than 134,000 offenders are on probation, nearly 3,000 ofwhom are in residential programs. \nThe mission ofthe GDC is to protect the public and staffby managing offenders either in a safe and secure environment or through effective community supervision according to their needs and risks. In collaboration with the community and other agencies, GDC provides programs which offer offenders the opportunity to become responsible, productive, law abiding citizens. \nGDC has adopted six management directions to guide operations: \n Increase efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability. \n Ensure that prison is an undesirable experience. \n Have well-run, secure facilities. \n Supervise and monitor compliance with probation conditions. \n Offenders will work. \n Have effective programs and training. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS Incarceration offers a highly structured, secure environment \nwhich removes from the community those offenders who pose a high risk. GDC provides legally mandated services in the areas of physical and mental health,. counseling, education, vocational training, chaplaincy and recreation. \nGDC requires offenders in its facilities to work to support the system and the community. Inmates and probationers work on prison farms; in food preparation, laundry, and construction; in facility and landscape maintenance; and doing factory work in Correctional Industries' manufacturing plants. \nThe types of GDC institutions include: \n State Prisons (38). These institutions are typically reserved for felony offenders with more than one year of incarceration to serve. \n County Prisons (25). 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. \n Inmate Boot Camps, Probation Boot Camps, Probation Detention Centers (21). These three components of Georgia's Comprehensive Correctional Boot Camp Program offer a shortterm, intensive incarceration period. The boot camp program enforces strict discipline and military protocol. \n \n Transitional Centers (5). These community-based centers are designed to allow offenders nearing the end of their prison term to prepare for life in the free-world. GDC requires offenders to work in jobs in the local community, pay room and board to the center and support their families. \n Probation Diversion Centers (17). Judges may sentence offenders to diversion centers as an alternative to prison. Like transitional center residents, offenders in the diversion centers work and pay room and board, restitution, fmes, and family support. \nProbation 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. \nThe mission of GDC's Probation Division is to serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. \nProbationers 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, home and job visits by the probationer officer. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is empowered \nto 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, recommends the clemency action, and supervises the offenders who have been paroled or conditionally released from prison until the completion oftheir sentences. \nThe Georgia Correctional Industries Administration is a public corporation, wholly owned by the state. GCIA utilizes inmate labor to manufacture products and provide services to government agencies. This work also allows the inmates to receive training in these areas. \nAUTHORITY Titles 9, 42 and 77 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n138 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nStrategies and Services \n \nJAIL BACKLOG REDUCTIONIBEDSPACE MANAGEMENT \nAt the beginning of F.Y. 1996, Georgia's jail backlog (people sentenced to state prison, awaiting pickup from jails) stood at 2,885. Six months later, the jail backlog had declined to 2,183. By the end of F.Y. 1996, the backlog was at one of its lowest points in five years -- 788 -- a 72 percent decrease over all ofF.Y. 1996. By mid-August 1996, the backlog had dropped to 309, its lowest point in twelve years. The backlog of female offenders awaiting pickup reached zero for the first time in Georgia's correctional history. \nJail backlog grows and diminishes as commitments to prison (sentences and revocations) and pickups by GDC ebb and flow. Two important factors contributed to this year's historic low level: \n Commitments to prison during F. Y. 1996 were at their lowest levels in three years. \n Releases (clemency and discharges) were stable. \nThese two elements gave the department the window of opportunity it needed to focus specifically on the jail backlog. \nIn January 1996, the department embarked on a three-phase action to lower the backlog. In the first phase: \n GDC filled vacant county correctional institution beds from the existing inmate population. Widening the criteria concerning sentence length allowed additional non-violent offenders with longer sentences to be transferred. \n GDC approved limited overtime at several prisons to expedite filling beds held vacant due to staffing issues. \n GDC increased the number of women's diagnostic beds at Metro State Prison by 50 percent, from 120 to 180, immediately reducing the female backlog by 18 percent. At the beginning of the year the number of vacant prison beds available for females nearly equaled the number backlogged in county jails. \nIn the second phase, the department \n \nreviewed and reassessed the use of space \n \nat each institution. GDC took the \n \nfollowing actions: \n \n Double-bunked the few \n \nremaining single-bunk units. \n \n Moved additional beds into group \n \nareas previously used for daytime \n \nprograms that had been discontinued. \n \nThis added more than 200 beds. \n \n Double-bunked \n \nsome \n \nisolation/segregation space at some \n \nfacilities in order to add more general \n \npopulation beds. \n \n Established mental health \n \ncaseloads at additional prison sites. This \n \nallowed quicker transfer of low-level \n \nmental health inmates to permanent \n \nassignments and opened up diagnostic \n \nbeds for inmates from county jails. \n \nThe Department also reviewed the \n \nallocation of bedspace to specific \n \nprograms, taking several more \n \nbedspace-related actions: \n \n Reallocated West Central \n \nDetention Center as a state prison. This \n \nadded 166 state prison beds to capacity \n \nfrom a consistently under utilized area. \n \n(192 new detention center beds are \n \nscheduled to come on-line in F. Y. 1998.) \n \n Forged an agreement with the \n \nParole Board to phase out the programmatic use of 400 beds at Hancock and Hays as Parole Revocation units and switch them to general population prison beds. \n Identified 100 inmates as probation technical violators and secured their release via Parole Board commutations to time served. These offenders are, by law (HB. 1607) limited to being sentenced to alternative programs such as detention and diversion centers. \nRESTRUCTURING PROBATION SUPERVISION \nGeorgia's active probation population grew at a relatively stable rate during the latter part of the 80's, and experienced two years of significant growth between 1990-1992. The population then dropped significantly due to legislation removing low-risk misdemeanants from state supervision. \nOne consequence of this legislation was the \"toughening\" of the overall probation population. The active probation population that was 29 percent felon ten years ago is now more than 74 percent felon. \n \nJail Backlog of Inmates \n \nAwaiting Entry to Prison \n5,000 4,326 \n \n4,000 \n \n----- 3,744 \n \n~3,052 3,071 \n \n3,000 \n \n2,000 \n \n1,000 309 \n0-+-------,-------,-------.------,--------, \nApr 89.

These and other imnate deficiencies affect their ability to fimction in the prison system, and more importantly their ability to maintain law-abiding behavior once released. \nGDC has always tried to provide resources to facilitate, teach or supervise inmate programs. The Legislature, the Federal Courts and the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles have also mandated the availability or completion of certain programs. During F.Y. 1996, GDC presented to the Parole Board a set of programs that would be available to inmates in all facilities. The Board agreed to this core curriculum, which focuses on the basic deficiency areas common to most inmates. GDC and the Parole Board also agreed upon a set of programs that will be offered to identified high-risk groups such as substance abusers and sex offenders. \nThe Core Curriculum tracks are intended to assist with the management of inmates while in the institution, and focus on reducing their risk of reoffending. Each of these tracks will eventually be available at all facilities. Collaboration with DCYS \nAt the end of F.Y. 1996, GDC transferred a 1,014-bed prison facility, complete with 285 positions, the staff in those filled positions, and equipment to \n \nthe Department of Children and Youth Services (DCYS). This transfer provided some quick relief for the overcrowding problems facing DCYS. \nThe Wrightsville Youth Development Center, formerly known as Johnson State Prison, was completed in 1992 and opened in 1993. The facility housing areas consist of five units containing 96 single cells, and one unit with four 50-bed open dormitories. \nBy the endofF.Y. 1997, GDC will transfer the Pelham Pre-Transitional unit to DCYS. This unit, located just outside Autry State Prison contains dormitory style housing and has a capacity of 200. \nGDC continues to operate specialized juvenile programs at the Eastman Youth Development Facility. This facility, houses \"unruly\" offenders transferred from the regional youth development centers (RYDC). Eastman Youth Development Facility currently has a capacity of 118 with 300 new beds to be available in F. Y. 1998. The Governor recommends the transfer of Eastman YDF to the Department of Children and Youth Services to be effective July 1, 1997. \nIn addition, the department continues, by contract, to operate a 100bed facility for youthful offenders in Davisboro. This facility maintains the same high level of structure and \n \ndiscipline as the inmate and probation boot camps. \nOLYMPIC PREPARATION AND SECURITY FORCE PARTICIPATION \nDuring the Centennial Olympic Games, more than 1,600 GDC staff were devoted full- or part-time to Olympic .Security. Even before their Olympic assignments began, these staff left their regular duties to attend training and otherwise prepare for their assignments. Many were deployed, full time, by the middle of June, a full month before the Olympics actually began. \nSome staffhad been involved full or part-time long before the Olympics actually took place: \n GDC staff were working on manpower studies for the Olympic security force as early as 1993. \n GDC staffrepresented Georgia in the preparation for the Torch Relay, planning the torch route through 42 states. Agency staff collaborated with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies along a l5,000-mile path. GDC staff later provided security and logistics assistance along the torch route. \n GDC assigned nearly 200 probation officers to special intelligence teams before and during the Olympics. These officers were part of the effort to identify potential trouble-makers before they disrupted the Games. \n GDC used offender labor to oversee tree planting and litter pick-up in Olympic area and along Olympic routes. \n GDC staffand offenders prepared housing areas for the law enforcement staff. They cleaned the area, set up trailers, built security fences and built rest areas. \n GDC provided offender labor to build housing and stable areas for the horses used by the U.S. Park Police. \nINFORMATION SYSTEM INITIATIVES \nDuring F. Y. 1996, the department focused Management Information Systems (MIS) resources on building the \n \n141 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \n \nfoundation for an integrated automated system for managing offender data and offender records. \nThis effort had two major thrusts:  Identify hardware and software \nstandar~s. \n Automate GDC's offender records system. Hardware/Software Standards \nGDC's Standard Technology Environment Project (STEP) is designed to architect a standard computing environment which meets the current and future needs of the department. \nSTEP specifies the hardware and software components and the operating system to be used for desktop and network computers throughout the agency. Providing standard components and standard configurations of those components allows GDC to: \n More clearly understand, plan for and support the needs of the agency. \n Fully integrate the hardware and software available in today's market in a supportable environment. \n Provide an environment where staff can move from site to site without retraining. \n Provide a foundation for data sharing. \nThe Local Area Networks (I;AN) will enable designated areas of a facility to access and share management information, offender demographics, daily schedules, sick call, court production, etC. A Wide Area Network (WAN) will allow this same information to be shared between facilities when necessary. Automation of Offender Records System \nThe second focus of activity is the conversion of the offender records system to a paperless system. The Offender Records Management System (ORMS), first proposed in 1994, will significantly enhance the department's ability to deal with volumes of paper work and documentation connected with the ever-increasing inmate population. \nThe current system presents numerous physical and managerial problems, including escalating requirements for expensive floor space, \n \npotential fIre hazards, misplaced and inaccessible information due to manual processing and storage. A paper system also does not allow more than one person to access a fIle at anyone time. \nIn a paperless office, paper documents are electronically processed (scanned) and stored for later viewing, printing or archiving. Data on offenders will be held in electronic folders containing \"imaged\" pictures of paper documents and information entered into computer databases. An \"imaged\" document may be a photograph, drawing, sketch, x-ray or a typed or handwritten document. \nA paperless office will provide many intangible benefIts: \n Eliminate incidents of lost fIles.  Enable multi-user access to a single fIle.  Replace manual checklists and schedules with a work-flow system that automatically integrates and routes documents to the appropriate work station.  Consolidate all offender paper files into one electronic fIle that can be updated and shared between central office and facilities across the state.  Reduce costs by an estimated $500,000 a year for the next five years: savings are in personnel services, space expenses and other supply and support costs. BytheendofF.Y. 1997, GDC will:  Upgrade networks and computer equipment in all prisons.  Image fIles of offenders being released.  Create initial imaging fIles for new admissions.  Introduce the work flow technology, scheduling, etc.  Implement the release and agreements component, integrating OTIS transactions.  Implement classification work flow, inmate transfers, and diagnostic packets processing. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING In preparation for Results-Based \nBudgeting, GDC has begun to develop performance measures from the local \n \nunit to the division and agency level. Staff will track this information through an integrated database of budget, staff and performance measures. Beginning in F.Y. 1998, budgeting resources will be connected with verifIable performance associated with these locally developed measures. This process will help the agency to identify and capture cost savings, increase accountability of managers and increase the effectiveness of operations. \nPRWATIZATION GDC, like other state agencies, has \nbeen working with the Governor's Privatization Council to identify opportunities for privatizing various operations and service delivery entities. \nThe department has developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction and operation of private prisons in Coffee and Wheeler counties. Contracts will be awarded in early calendar year 1997 and will be Georgia's fIrst venture into privatized prisons at the state level. \nA pilot project to privatize inmate stores began during September 1996. A contractor took over the stores at two prisons and has committed to demonstrating improved, more efficient operations within a three to four month period. If the pilot is successful, GDC plans to move forward with the privatization of inmate stores at all prisons by the beginning ofF.Y. 1998. \nOther areas under consideration for privatization include: \n Substance abuse treatment programs (some of which are already under contract). \n Transitional centers.  Diversion centers.  Facility maintenance.  Laundry services. \nELECTRONIC MONITORING The Parole Board formally \nimplemented the electronic monitoring (EM) pilot program on November 1, 1991. Following a successful eight site pilot, the program was expanded through April 1993 to include an additional eight parole districts and an on-going \n \n142 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS -- Strategies and Services \n \nevaluation was conducted. The research and evaluation data showed the electronic monitoring program, accompanied by skillful supervision, provided the Board with an effective tool for responding to parolee violations short of revocation and return to prison. Following the eighteen month pilot, the EM program was expanded statewide and has continued to grow. In fiscal year 1996 the program grew to the use of 926 electronic monitoring units. \nElectronic monitoring enables the Board to implement an intrusive sanction that allows for the surveillance of parolees up to twenty-four hours per day. This program can represent the Parole Board's final sanction short of revocation. The program is targeted for three groups of parolees; those who present a high risk to the community, those who have a high level of needs, and/or parolees that continuously and willfully violate the conditions of parole. Electronic monitoring brings added structure and stability to the lives of many parolees. This added structure can provide the catalyst for positive change and ensure compliance with the conditions of parole, thereby encouraging law-abiding behavior. \nDuring fiscal year 1997 the number of electronic monitoring units will increase to 1400 units. These units will be utilized to expand the types of parolee placed under the structure of EM. The electronic monitoring program will be used in conjunction with the Specialized Parole Supervision (SPS), to provide a balanced, intensive approach to dealing with high risk/need parolees. This program is handled by staff specially trained in the use, operation and management of electronic monitoring. \nThe Board's plan for electronic monitoring has expanded to include front-end application by paroling inmates directly to EM. There are currently in excess of 1,000 prison inmates serving their first prison sentence for non-violent crimes. Paroling these offenders directly to electronic monitoring will free hard prison beds while providing a structured, intensive surveillance parole scenario. \n \nAdditionally, this application of electronic monitoring provides transition from the highly structured prison environment to the community in a gradual, less dramatic and hopefully less problematic way. The net result to the state through these applications is savings in prison bed construction and operating costs without sacrificing community safety. \nSUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING \nIn 1995 the Parole Board made the decision to redirect funding for the substance abuse counseling program. An arrangement was made with the Department of Human Resources Division of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse to contract for local treatment services. A reduction-in-force was effectuated in June 1996, eliminating 43 senior substance abuse counselor and two clinical supervisor positions. Treatment professionals in the local public health systems provide substance abuse assessment and treatment services for offenders under parole supervision beginning September 1, 1996. \nThe program continues to be administered by the substance abuse counseling coordinator and two personnel monitor the contracted programs and parolees progress in substance abuse and special needs therapeutic programs at Homerville and Hays State Prisons. The program at Hays State Prison is scheduled to be moved to Whitworth Detention Center at the end of 1996. \nThe contracts with the local treatment providers are essential to maximizing the chances of recovery for the 900 plus offenders released to parole each month. The aftercare provided by this network is critical to the success of all prison-based treatment programs. Participation in these services, combined with parole officer supervision and alcohol and other drug testing, is expected to significantly enhance offenders' prosocial living skills while reducing the recidivism rate. \n \nSPECIALIZATION/CASE MANAGEMENT \nIn February, 1994, the Board implemented a new system for parolee classification and case management. Parolees are now classified into one of three levels of supervision based on a formal, instrument-based assessment of the risk they present to the community. In October 1994, formal case planning began. Case planning completes the statewide implementation of the new supervision case management model. Efforts continue to refine the process. This system of supervision enables the Board to allocate its field staff in a more rational fashion and to ensure that those parolees who represent a clear risk to public safety receive the highest quality and most intensive amount of supervision. \nSpecialization will be carried further through the creation of program specialists. Parole officers functioning as program specialists will service district offices by delivering cognitive skills training to parolees, parolee orientation programs, developing volunteer programming through collaboration with community based organizations. These programmatic initiatives, as well as classification/case management and specialization, continue to form the core of the Board's comprehensive strategy for reducing parole recidivism and enhancing the effectiveness of supervision, while preserving community safety. \n \n143 \n \n GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nBUDGET UNIT A: DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS \nPROBATION MANAGEMENT/SECURITY \nPURPOSE: Serve the courts and to collaborate with other criminal justice agencies in protecting the public by effectively enforcing sentences of probation. \nGOALS Ensure that probationers work.

At the same time, the commission strives to emphasize the environmental and economic value of this renewable resource--the state's forests. \nForestry contributes $16.4 billion to the economy and provides more than 144,000 jobs in Georgia. The Forestry Commissi9n protects and manages Georgia's 24 million acres of forest land, which represents an approximate $36 billion asset. \nThe Forestry Commission as a budget unit includes three divisions: \n Reforestation.  Field Services.  General Administration and Support. The Forestry Commission provides a wide variety of services to the rural forest landowner and offers technical assistance to landowners in urban areas. \nFOREST PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT Forest Protection, the primary functions of the Forestry \nCommission, includes a statewide network ofcounty and district offices adequately supplied with manpower and equipment necessary for the suppression of Georgia's more than 9,000 amiual wildfires. The basic fire suppression function includes the prompt detection and reporting of fires. This is followed by a powerful initial attack with trained firefighters operating crawler tractor-plow units and water trucks. The effectiveness of the Forest Protection program is a direct result of properly maintained equipment that can be quickly mobilized at the early phases of a forest fire. The average size fire in Georgia is four acres while the average for the southern region is 13 acres and the national average is 42 acres. \nThe Rural Fire Defense program is the most valu~ble forest protection community outreach program offered by the Forestry .Commission. Since the early 1970s, the program has provided community fire departments statewide with more than 1,000 low cost/lease fire trucks. The commission also provides assistance with training and operations for local fire departments statewide. \nIn the area of Forest Management, the commission provides technical assistance to private and industrial landowners. Some of the services provided include forest stewardship; forest health monitoring (insect and disease \n \nsurveys and eradication); promotion of forest water quality; education and compliance surveys; and promotion of sound forestry practices. Other services include management of four state-owned and two non-state-owned forests using forest stewardship principles and field staff support. \nREFORESTATION The role of the Reforestation Division is to provide high \nquality, genetically superior forest tree seedlings to the citizens of Georgia at a reasonable price without cost to the taxpayer. Reforestation efforts are accomplished through the commission's tree improvement and seedling producing program, its intensively managed seed orchards, its low-cost seed cleaning and conditioning plant and its two tree seedling nurseries. \nEDUCATION AND URBAN FORESTRY The Education and Urban Forestry program involves \neducational programs (Le., Smoky Bear Fire Prevention) in all media areas to make the citizens of Georgia aware of the importance of their forest resources. Professional urban foresters provide educational materials and urban forestry assistance on a variety oftopics. This division of the Forestry Commission also administers federal and state urban grants to communities in Georgia. \nUTILIZATION, MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT The commission provides technical assistance to Georgia's \nsmall to medium forest product companies in the area of wood utilization (fiber supply and recycling of wood products) to ensure that these industries remain a strong and stable force in the state and local economy. The commission also provides input about fiber supply to the Georgia Pulp and Paper Initiative. \nATTACHED AGENCY The Herty Foundation supports Georgia's pulp and paper \nindustry by providing research and product development opportunities to manufacturers at its facility in Savannah. This support consists of providing laboratory services and several pilot scale production paper machines to allow Georgia's pulp and paper manufacturers to conduct research, develop new products or improve their existing products. \nAUTHORITY Title 12-6 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n202 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe protection, regeneration and effective management of Georgia's forests ensure the vigorous development and growth of an important element of Georgia's economy - an element that has a significant impact on every region of the state. Through the combined efforts of reforestation, forest protection and management and forest utilization programs, the Georgia Forestry Commission continues to provide an invaluable service to all the state's forest related industries while saving landowners millions of dollars each year. Georgia has continued to plant more trees each year than any other state in the nation and has the best fire control record in the southeast- a five year (1991-95) average occurrence of7,763 fires burning an average 3.58 acres. The commission's programs are focused on protecting 24 million acres offorest land that represents a $36 billion dollar asset to the state. \nThe following description provides an overview of how the Forestry Commission is able to play such a significant role as steward ofour forests. \nFIRE PROTECTION Fire control is administered through \na network of approximately 134 county offices and 12 district offices. Beginning in F.Y. 1998, the commission will no longer provide wildland fire protection to DeKalb, Douglas and Fulton Counties. Instead, those counties have entered a contractual agreement with the commission to provide their own fire protection via their own fire delivery systems. Additionally, commission fire protection in Clayton and Fayette Counties will be covered by the commission's Newnan District office. Operations in Gwinnett County will be covered by the commission's Gainesville and Athens District offices. This consolidation and devolution of fire protection services save the commission over $469,980 in state funds. \nFire suppression equipment, vital to the Forestry Commission's \n \noperations, consists mainly of 349 tractor-plow bulldozers with accompanying transport trucks and trailers. Fire detection and suppression are supplemented with the use of 18 state owned and 12 contract single engine airplanes and three UH-IH helicopters acquired through the Federal Excess Property Program at no cost to the state. Fire suppression equipment is used to plow approximately 16,000 miles oflandowner requested firebreaks each year. Continued improvements in response time and suppression capability, as well as advances in technology, are critical to the operation ofthe fire protection program. In F.Y. 1997, the commission began utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to help accurately map the location of fires that were detected via aircraft. The use of this technology as well as continued improvements in response time and suppression capability assist commission staffwith successfully providing fire protection to the landowners in the state. \nCurrent statistics indicate that Georgia's rural population is expanding. The intermingling of houses with forest lands that are susceptible to fire requires the commission to seek changes to traditional firefighting strategy and tactics. For F.Y. 1998, the commission has requested and the Governor has recommended $631,695 to purchase fifteen one ton fire trucks for a new WildlandlUrban Interface Program. These \"Quick Response\" fire trucks will give the commission the ability to operate effectively in and around the increasing number of homes situated in wildland settings. \nREFORESTATION The Forestry Commission's seed \norchards provide a reliable source of seeds and opportunity to exploit the genetic potential ofthe state's forests. In pine trees alone, tree improvement efforts have reduced unwanted occurrences of infection and improved growth rates by 10 to 15 percent. A 10 \n \npercent increase in volume growth per acre will translate to a dollar value increase of$56.8 million. \nThrough the Flint River and Walker nurseries, the commission offers approximately 50 million tree seedlings, primarily southern pines with some hardwood species, for sale to Georgia landowners in an effort to encourage reforestation. These seedlings reforest approximately 71,000 acres each year, helping to reduce the gap between acres harvested and regenerated, while at the same time providing wildlife food and habitat, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing urban or rural aesthetics. The value of these trees at rotation age will exceed $228 million. \nFOREST MANAGEMENT Programs and services offered to \nprivate landowners in the Forest Management Program include reforestation, site preparation, forest management plans, timber marking, forester referrals, insect and disease detection, timber stand improvement, natural regeneration, and marketing of forest products. Through forest stewardship, the commission encourages and enables non-industrial private landowners to practice better stewardship of their woodlands, including timber, wildlife, soil, water, historic, scenic and recreational resources. Many of the federal government's forest management programs, such as the stewardship program, are available to landowners through the State Forestry Commission. As funding for federal programs decline, the Forestry Commission will explore options for the state to use in protecting and effectively managing the state's forest resources. \nIn addition to these services, the Dixon Memorial, Baldwin, and'Alamo State Forests, along with the Gracewood, Dawson and Paulding Forests are managed by the Georgia Forestry Commission. Through management of the state's forests, the commission promotes multiple resource management \n \n203 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nand environmental awareness in the areas of timber, soil, water, wildlife, recreation and aesthetics. \nUTILIZATION, MARKETING, AND DEVELOPMENT \nThe forest utilization efforts ofthe commission include providing technical assistance to the forestry community of wood manufacturers, contractors, banks, entrepreneurs and other state agencies to ensure an efficient, sustainable, productive forest resource that will provide job creation opportunities for Georgians. These services range from encouraging efficient use ofwood in the manufacturing process, providing information on recycling of wood and wood products, collecting and analyzing marketing and resource data and expanding markets for Georgia's forest products. \nThe Forest Inventory Analysis is a comprehensive compilation of forest statistics and other data providing vital information about forest resources, forest health and forest productivity levels. Historically, the data has been collected by field crews ofthe U.S. Forest Service on approximately a ten year cycle. Budget reductions in the U.S. Forest Service has placed the program in jeopardy. With forestry being one ofthe largest industries in the state, contributing over $16 billion to the economy, the commission at the urging of landowners and forest products \n \nindustries felt it necessary to request funding to assume the responsibility for collecting data for the inventory. For F.Y. 1998, the Governor has recommended $394,834 for the program. Funding will allow the commission to collect the data at five year cycles rather than the current seven to ten year cycle conducted by the U.S. Forest Service. \nBERTY FOUNDATION The Herty Foundation's mission is \nto enhance the competitiveness of Georgia's and the nation's pulp and paper industry through the Herty Research and Development Center in Savannah. This facility supports industry by providing quality, flexible responses to development trials, accurate laboratory testing services and rapid answers to product and process development problems in a pilot plant setting that protects and ensures the confidentiality ofthe work beiitg done. It is the largest facility of its kind in the United States. \nThe Herty Foundation conducts a broad range of laboratory tests and experiments, and provides pilot scale production runs at its facility in Savannah for Georgia's and the nation's pulp, paper, and fiber producing companies. This public-private partnership started in 1939 when the Georgia General Assembly created the Herty Foundation to enhance research \n \nand development for all fibrous materials. Since 1989, this partnership has invested over $29 million in a new state-of-the-art facility and equipment to create the largest independent pulp and paper research and development center of its kind in the United States. As a result ofthis investment, Herty enjoys a national reputation and is frequently asked to participate in national studies. \nHerty primarily supports Georgia manufacturers through research and development in fiber supply, specifically in raw material evaluation, alternative agricultural fiber, wood chip quality improvement and pulping modification to increase yield. In addition to fiber supply projects, Georgia manufacturers also use Herty for environmental and recycling research. Some of Herty's projects have been funded through the Pulp and Paper Consortium, a group created by the Governor's Traditional Industries Program and functioning under Herty's leadership. Finally, since the pulp and paper industry is the most capital-intensive of all industries, many companies cannot afford their own pilot equipment. Therefore, use of Herty's pilot equipment constitutes a substantial saving for companies that would otherwise have to interrupt their forprofit production runs. Georgia's pulp and paper mills produce in excess of seven million tons ofpaper products per year and have an $8 billion impact on Georgia's economy. \n \n204 \n \n STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nREFORESTATION \nPURPOSE: Develop genetically improved sources of southern pine seedlings appropriate for planting in Georgia in order to increase the productivity of Georgia's forests.

In addition to conducting general and special investigations, the bureau provides forensic laboratory examinations and collects data on crime and criminals. Numerous programs are operational and the latest technological advancements in crime fighting are in place to combat drug trafficking and other crimes. \nThe operations of the GBI include a staff of 728 employees. These employees are located at the Bureau Headquarters, and are strategically housed in 15 General Investigation Offices, four Regional Drug Enforcement Offices and five Regional Crime Laboraties through which the various support services are carried out. \nGENERAL INVESTIGATION The mission of the General Investigation Section is to \nprovide assistance to local law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes committed throughout the state on a daily basis. The office also has original jurisdiction in the investigation of crimes committed on state property; the enforcement laws governing non-tax paid alcohol and tobacco; and the investigation of crimes committed on the basis of race, creed, religion or national origin. The majority of the manpower resources are distributed among the 15 regional field offices and the four regional drug enforcement offices. The regional field. offices conduct general investigations of all crimes and comprise the most significant program in the General Investigation Section of the division's budget. The regional drug enforcement offices investigate all levels of drug trafficking with an emphasis on major violators. These offices comprise the most significant program in the Drug Enforcement Section of the division's budget. \nThere are seven specialized areas of operations:  Crime Analysis Unit.  Crime Scene Specialist Program.  Financial Investigations Unit.  Intelligence Unit.  Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces.  Polygraph Unit. A number of services are provided to assist local agencies in solving crimes throughout the state: \n \n Aid in the detection, apprehension and conviction of criminals, and behavioral science related services. \n Criminal investigations into auto thefts, carjacking, organized crime, fugitives, and controlled substances. \n Arson investigations.  Publications and dissemination ofthe Criminal Activity Bulletin.  Polygraph exams for other criminal justice agencies upon request.  Assistance with security and crowd control for major organized events and civil disturbances in the state. \n \nFORENSIC SERVICES \n \nThe Division of Forensic Sciences operates the \n \nheadquarters laboratory in Atlanta and five regional \n \nlaboratories in Savannah, Columbus, Augusta, Moultrie and \n \nMacon. An additional lab is being constructed in northwest \n \nGeorgia and is scheduled to open in F.Y. 1997. The \n \nlaboratories examine submitted evidence, report scientific \n \nconclusions about that submitted evidence, and testify in court \n \nabout results. These services must be timely and as up-to-date \n \nas possible to satisfy the needs of the courts and the police. \n \nThe Headquarters Lab consists ofthe following programs: \n \n Administration \n \n Criminalistics \n \n DNA Database \n \n Drug Identification \n \n SerologylDNA \n \n Questioned Document \n \n Implied Consent \n \n Photography \n \n Toxicology \n \n Latent Examiner \n \n Firearms Identification  Medical Examiner \n \nServices. \n \nGEORGIA CRIME INFORMATION CENTER The role of the Crime Information Center includes the \noperation of a statewide Criminal Justice Information System (CnS) Network, linking criminal justice agencies to automated state and national information data bases. The center also operates and maintains a central repository of statistical data describing the nature and extent of reported crime known under the name of its FBI counterpart, the Uniform Crime Reporting system. It performs audits of Georgia's criminal justice agencies. \n \nAUTHORITY Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n215 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nCRIME LABORATORY \nSERVICES With the resources provided to the \nlaboratories statewide, the Division of ForenSic Sciences has been able to meet changing demands for forensic services while also laying the groundwork for innovative solutions to meet these and future demands. Governor Miller continues to address these demands through the addition of new scientists and upgraded facilities. Additional scientists and administrative personnel, nine in F. Y. 1997 and eight being recommended in F.Y. 1998, will provide the necessary personnel resources to improve productivity as well as improve quality control. \nScientific services have been expanded throughout the state with the construction of a new branch laboratory in Summerville scheduled to be opened in the spring of 1997. This full service laboratory will give law enforcement agencies and the courts direct access to the expertise they need to solve cases and convict criminals. \nIn F. Y. 1996 the Division of Forensic Sciences provided more service at less cost per service and did it faster than ever before. The Division processed over 113,000 individual services related to incoming case evidence. Overall service processing in 1996 was up by 19 percent over F.Y. 1995. The increased number of services completed is the equivalent to an extra 45 days of work. \nThe cost per service in F. Y. 1996 was $93, down from $112 inF.Y. 1995. In terms of the F. Y. 1996 budget this translates into real cost savings of approximately $2,147,000 worth of additional casework. \nFifty-five percent of all services were completed in 30 days or less, up from the fifty-three percent in F.Y. 1995. Six of eight major service areas improved turn-around time. The Division is currently processing 57 percent within 30 days. \nLABORATORY UPGRADES-The Governor's F. Y. 1998 Budget \n \nrecommendations include $3.2 million in general obligation bonds for construction of a new building to replace the existing Columbus Branch Crime Laboratory. Acquired by the GBI in 1974, the \n \na small amount of biological evidence left at a crime scene. However, the database is not searched in cases where no suspect has been identified, and as displayed in the chart, numerous rape \n \nRape Cases Not Processed Against DNA Database \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \nFiIealYean \n \ncurrent facility was designed for a staff of four working 3,000 cases. There are currently eight employees working 5,500. \nThe surrounding 19 counties will continue to receive the forensic services currently being offered such as testing drug identification, toxicology, serology and criminalistic. \nAlso included in the F.Y. 1998 Governor's budget recommendation is $645,000 in general obligation bonds to construct a regional medical examiner facility adjacent to the existing Macon Branch Crime Laboratory. The facility will contain a morgue/autopsy area and associated medical examiner staff office space. \nDNA SERVICES ARE EXPANDED--With funding of $172,688 and three scientist positions in F.Y. 1995, GBI began a database file of DNA samples from every convicted sex offender in the state, which improved the chances of matching victims with their suspects. The technique gives the crime laboratory the capability to identify an assailant from a list of suspects based on \n \ncases have not been processed against the DNA database. For the program to be effective, DNA should be tested on all sexual assault cases and the database searched. This improvement to the system will make possible the identification of a suspect by comparing the DNA type of an unknown offender to those in the database. \nFor F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller has recommended additional funding of $161,000 for two more scientists and related expenses to expand the DNA database to include cases where no suspect has been identified. The DNA testing can now be compared against the CODIS system, the national system of unsolved cases. \nINVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS MUL II-JURISDICTIONAL \nDRUG TASK FORCE--GBI provides an assistant special agent-in-charge (ASAC) to supervise multi-jurisdictional drug task forces throughout the state. The initial task force was funded with a federal grant and was staffed with representatives from various local law \n \n216 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia Bureau of Investigation Crime AgainstPropertyfor 1996 \nBurglaly 35.8%  Forgery 9.0% \n[ffiJ] Theft 37.9% \no Mtr Veh Theft 8.3% Arson 7.4%  Crim Damage Prop 1.6% \n \ncriminal intelligence information. The unit provides specialized support to GBI work units as well as other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. \nInformation from intelligence files is disseminated upon request to all law enforcement agencies. An average of over 13,000 requests are received each year. The unit publishes and disseminates the Criminal Activity Bulletin, which is the means of notifying local law enforcement agencies and district attorneys of the impending release from prison, ofpersons convicted of crimes in their jurisdictions. \n \nenforcement agencies within a judicial circuit. Over the years, the bureau has had numerous requests to provide ASACs to serve as supervisors for multi-jurisdictional task forces throughout the state. Federal grants, which are used as the initial fimding sources for these task forces are administered by the Governor's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. \nCurrently the GBI is responsible for the supervision of 13 multi-jurisdictional task forces that work street to mid-level and in some instances major drug investigations in 50 of the 159 counties in Georgia. These supervisors provide experienced, capable leadership and help to ensure an organized and cooperative effort between not only the GBI and the task forces but also other law enforcement agencies. \nCRIME SCENE SPECIALIST PROGRAM--GBI assigns one special agents as a crime scene specialist to each of the 15 regional investigative offices statewide. Each of theses special agents is an experienced investigator who has demonstrated success in the investigation of nonviolent crimes as well as an aptitude for conducting crime scene examinations. Each specialist is equipped with and trained in the use of \n \nthe latest state of the art instruments designed to identifY, collect and preserve physical evidence from a crime scene. Additionally, they are trained to reconstruct each crime as it occurred and testify to their [mdings after an examination of the physical evidence. \nFINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT--The Financial Investigations Unit serves as a mechanism for removing the financial rewards gained by persons and organizations involved in illicit drug trafficking. In the six years following the inception of this program, the unit has played a key role in successful seizures of over $40 million in illicit assets, and has been involved in training over 1,500 officers in the various investigative disciplines of financial investigations. \nThe investigative process utilized in drug related financial crimes apply as well to traditional and non-drug related white collar crimes, and state fimded personnel have been added over the years to handle these type of crimes. Unit personnel have begun investigating financially motivated crimes such as fraud (to include telemarketing and healthcare fraud), political corruption, embezzlement, theft and even murder. \nINTELLIGENCE UNIT--The Intelligence Unit acts as a repository for \n \nCRIME INFORMATION FIREARMS PROGRAM (Instant \nGun Check)--The Firearms Program provides a state background check for handgun purchasers. Administered to be in conformity with the provisions of Georgia law and the federal Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, the program provides the means for a federally licensed firearms dealer to call a 1-800 number to obtain an \"instant check\" on individuals prior to the transfer/sale of a handgun. This check is to insure the individual is not prohibited by law to possess a handgun. Initially fimded in F. Y. 1996 at a cost of $1.1 million, GCIC has processed 59,870 transactions of which 7,023 were denied. \n \nINSTANT GUN CHECK DENIAL STATISTICS \n \nFelony Warrants. . . . . . . . . .. 95 \n \nConvicted Felons . . . . . . . . 3,124 \n \nFelony Arrests \n \n3,796 \n \n(no disposition) \n \nMental Incompetency. . . . . . .. 4 \n \ncns NETWORK--The cns \nNetwork provides law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies quick access to critical state and national information pertaining to criminal and \n \n217 \n \n GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION -- Strategies and Services \n \ndrivers' records; vehicle, boat and airplane registrations; stolen vehicles and property; wanted persons; and missing children and adults. There are \ncurrently 4,829 terminals on the cns \nNetwork. AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT \nIDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS)-AFIS technology automates the processing of criminal, latent and applicant fingerprints in speed and accuracy. The processing of criminal documents such as fingerprint cards and reports of final disposition create and update computerized criminal history records which are used by all criminal justice agencies throughout the state and nation. \nAutomation of final disposition information is occurring in two ways. Agencies can enter final dispositions \n \ndirectly into the computerized criminal history database via the Go Network and second a transaction is generated as a by-product of a courts own data capture system. Automated agencies submit 11 % ofthe Judicial Data to GCIC. Remote sites where AFIS workstations are communicating with the GBI's AFIS are capable of sending and receiving electronic fingerprint images and making fingerprint identifications remotely. The current upgrade will give the GBI the capability to receive fingerprint images electronically. Law enforcement agencies will be able to transmit images directly into the GBI's AFIS via a Live Scan device. The chart on this page depicts the number of documents that were received on a quarterly basis for AFIS operations during F.Y. 1996. \nThe AFIS database files currently \n \ntotal 1,785,313.

This responsibility includes providing various administrative services in issuing bonds and in investing the bond proceeds. GSFIC also manages capital outlay construction projects related to the issuance of the bonds. \nThe Georgia General Assembly authorizes GSFIC, through the annual appropriations bill, to sell general obligation bonds to [mance the construction of various capital outlay projects. In the amended F.Y. 1996 and F.Y. 1997 appropriations, $495,450,000 in general obligation bond debt was authorized. For F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller is recommending $508,800,000 in bonds. \nIn F.Y. 1997, GSFIC had an annual operating budget of $2,314,049. This agency does not receive state funds for its operations but instead generates its own funds from interest derived from the bond proceeds. \nThe commission members consist of the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General and the Director of Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. GSFIC provides all of its services through two statutory divisions-Financing and Investment, and Construction. \nFINANCING AND INVESTMENT The Financing and Investment Division has three \nemployees who are responsible for selling the general \n \nobligation bonds and investing the bond proceeds. Additionally, this division manages the bond debt and purchases bonds from secondary markets. In F.Y. 1996, GSFIC generated $96,210,213 in interest income on investments from bond proceeds that were on deposit in the construction fund. \nCONSTRUCTION The Construction Division manages the contracts for the \ndesign and construction of the capital outlay projects for the various state agencies and other state entities. The division's management of projects involves preparing bids for the selection of a contractor to construct the facility; monitoring the progress of the projects; and providing the accounting services associated with disbursements of payments. In F.Y. 1995, the division disbursed approximately $724 million for construction and administered 69 projects. In F.Y. 1996, the division disbursed $669.5 million for construction and administered 72 projects. Additionally, as of June 30, 1996, the division had over $1.820 billion in the construction fund account for disbursement on the various capital outlay projects. \nAUTHORITY Titles 20 and 50 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n225 \n \n GEORGIA STATE FINANCING AND INVESTMENT COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nFINANCING AND INVESTMENT \nPURPOSE: Perform all services related to the issuance and management of public debt, including the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from issuance of General Obligation (G.O.) bonds or from other amounts appropriated by the Legislature for capital outlay purposes. \nGOALS Issue 100 percent of General Obligation (G.O.) bonds authorized by the General Assembly.

A total of$533.5 million in combined state and federal block grant funds is recommended to provide assistance to needy families with children on a temporary basis and provide parents with job prepration, work opportunities, and other support services to enable them to become self-sufficient and leave the program as soon as possible. \n The Governor is recommending several actions to improve the lives and adoption opportunities for Georgia's foster children. $3,788,800 is recommended to increase the adoption supplement to the same rate as the foster care per diem and to use more private adoption agencies to speed up placement of children in loving, permanent homes. $1,466,000 is also recommended to provide independent living services to help foster children who are leaving the foster care system and entering college. \n The Governor is recommending the closure of Brook Run and the redirection of the institution's funding to place residents in community-based programs as well as provide services to mentally retarded individuals on the waiting list for community-based services. It is possible with the same level of funding to serve over 500 individuals in the community as compared to 326 at Brook Run. Also, funds will be available to assure that there are temporary and immediate care beds to provide emergency services for individuals in crisis and to meet critical dental needs in the metro area. Approximately $15 million will be redirected from Brook Run over a two year period. \n The Governor is recommending $4,715,025 in ICTF ($11,890,934 total funds) to expand community-based services for the elderly by adding 2,061 Community Care Waiver slots for Medicaid eligible individuals and 932 slots for non-Medicaid eligible individuals. The primary purpose of these programs is to provide alternatives to premature or \nunnecessary institutionalization. \n House Bill 100, which passed in 1993, authorized a sweeping reform of the Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Service Delivery System. One of the underlying principles of the new system is to give regional boards flexibility to move funds to meet client needs. Governor Miller is recommending that $14.7 million be \n \nreallocated from hospital-based services to community-based services for the chronically mentally ill. (This reallocation will begin in F.Y. 1997). Currently, state psychiatric hospitals are over utilized due to the lack of more appropriate community services. This reallocation will fully fund target area services in the Gwinnett, Clarke and Thomas service areas and expand services in seven other areas. There will not be a reduction in individuals served but rather a shift in services from hospitals to community services. Beds will be closed, units consolidated and hospital staff reduced as a result.  $3,751,387 is recommended for SED community-based services to annualize last year's addition and to complete Phase I funding in Whitfield, Walker, Sumter, Emanuel and Bullock Counties. With this addition, 23 of28 service areas will be fully funded for phase I; however, priority care services are available statewide. During Governor Miller's administration, $17.6 million in new SED funding has been appropriated. \nRec:ollllllCDcJcd Department Appropriation as  Percentage of the state Budget \n The Division of Rehabilitation is restructuring the vocational rehabilitation program to build an integrated workforce development system to meet the needs of both the business community and people with disabilities. The approach will emphasize work, not services, and employers as customers. Rehabilitation staff will no longer primarily work within offices. They will go out to businesses to educate employers, provide technical assistance and develop new jobs for people with disabilities. They will meet with clients in their homes to determine eligibility for services and discuss job possibilities. Privatization of services through private, nonprofit organizations will be increased. The goal is to increase the number of clients employed by 10 percent in F.Y. 1998 and by 25 percent in F.Y. 1999. \n \n245 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \n, Budget ClasseslFund Sources \n \nF.Y.1995 Expenditures \n \nF.Y.1996 Expenditures \n \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Operating Expenses (MHMR) Major Maint. and Const.

The department's mission is to assist Georgians in achieving their highest levels of health development, independence and self-sufficiency. Services are provided through over 100 health, fmancial assistance, social services, regulatory and rehabilitation programs in 1,500 locations. \nIn F.Y. 1998, DHR is proposing actions which will redirect resources from administration, contracts, facilitybased services, and treatment dollars serving limited populations. These funds will be used to provide for and promote: \n Self-Sufficiency  Client Responsibility  Parental Responsibility  Education, Prevention and Early \nIntervention  Employment  Community-Based Services To achieve its goals and objectives in these areas, the department is working closely with other state agencies, local communities, private enterprise, and private foundations and charitable organizations. Over the last several years, DHR has intensified its efforts to generate additional resources to better meet \n \nhuman service needs. Examples include: increasing child support collections; utilizing Medicaid waiver programs to expand services or cover services previously state funded; revising patient cost of care provisions to generate more income for expansion of community-based services; and changing cost allocation plans, sampling and record-keeping procedures to better defme and document services eligible to participate in federal funding. \nThe department is also actively seeking to privatize services where possible. Day care, child support recovery and community-based services for the elderly and for the mentally retarded are areas where privatization has been the most successful. \nTEENAGE PREGNANCY PREVENTION \nTeen pregnancy prevention is a major component of welfare reform, Second to unemployment, teen pregnancy is a leading cause of welfare dependency. Additionally, teenagers who become pregnant face health risks for themselves and their babies. \nIn 1995, Georgia's teen birth rate ranked 45th in the nation. There were 29,239 pregnancies among young women age 19 or younger. Approximately three-fourths of teen pregnancies are unplanned. Half of all \n \ngirls who become pregnant as teenagers become pregnant again within two years. \nFor F.Y. 1998, the Governor is proposing to spend $3.5 million on teen pregnancy prevention efforts which include five components: nontraditional clinic sites, traditional clinic sites, outreach workers, a male involvement initiative, and a sex education curriculum. With this proposal, teenage pregnancy efforts will total $7.9 million. \nLocation offamily planning clinics in non-traditional sites such as county departments of family and children services (DFCS), substance abuse centers, and public housing complexes will increase teenagers' access to family planning services. Collocation with DFCS offices will also enhance the department's emphasis on Work First and hopefully reduce the number of women unable to work due to unintended pregnancy. Under this proposal, fifteen clinics will be created in 13 areas: Albany, Athens, Augusta, Cobb County, Columbus, DeKalb County (2), Fulton County (2), Griffm, Gwinnett County, Macon, Rome, Savannah, and Valdosta. Selection was based on high teen pregnancy rates and/or high welfare caseloads. \n \nPregnancies to Women Under age 20 F.Y.1995 \n \n10 - 14 15 - 17 18 - 19 Total \n \n1,807 12,583 14,849 29,239 \n \n114 1,947 6,697 9,758 \n \nNote: Chart includes live births and pregnancies that end in abortion or fetal death \n \n6.3% 23.4% 45.1% 33.4% \n \n254 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - - Strategies and Services \n \nThis initiative would also \n \nincrease the level of services \n \navailable through traditional \n \nfamily planning sites at county \n \nhealth departments by providing \n \n$700,000 for additional staff and family planning supplies in the \n \nChildren Adopted \n \nfollowing six targeted areas: \n \nAlbany, Augusta, Columbus, \n \nGainesville, LaGrange, and \n \n1000 \n \nFiscal Year 1996 \n \nMacon (2). \n \n869 \n \n881 \n \nThe Governor \n \nalso \n \nrecommends seven outreach \n \n800 \n \nworkers to assist health \n \ndepartment staffand to follow-up \n \nand monitor clients to encourage \n \n600 \n \nthem to take advantage of \n \npregnancy prevention methods. \n \nGrady Memorial Hospital \n \n400 \n \nhas developed an effective, sex \n \neducation curriculum aimed at \n \npostponing sexual involvement. \n \n200 \n \nOnly five percent of the eighth- \n \ngrade girls participating in the \n \nprogram became sexually active, \n \n0 \n \ncompared to 15 percent among \n \nFY 96 Registered \n \nPlaced \n \nClosed--Other \n \nWaiting \n \nthose who had no special \n \nprogram.

For F.Y. 1998, the collected goes directly to the custodial from both parents, and the state has \n \n256 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - - Strategies and Services \n \nmoved aggressively to improve compliance with child support orders. By increasing both the number of noncustodial parents required to pay child support and the amount of child support collected, the state will help more families become self-sufficient and avoid welfare dependency. \nDuring Governor Miller's administration, child support collections have increased by 124 percent from $143 million in F.Y. 1991 to $317 million projected for F.Y. 1997. \nGeorgia is one of the ftrst states to privatize child support collections by contracting with collection agencies to handle difficult cases. By contracting with private vendors to handle nonAFDC cases, state staff will be free to handle more AFDC cases. In F.Y. 1998, the Governor is recommending that at least one-third of all non-AFDC cases be privatized. \n \nGEORGIA'S \n \nTEMPORARY \n \nASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY \n \nFAMILIES PROGRAM \n \nGeorgia will implement the \n \nTemporary Assistance for Needy \n \nFamilies Program according to \n \nprinciples developed over the last ftve \n \nyears. These principles include a \n \ncentral focus on work; a priority on \n \nmeeting the needs of children; beneftts \n \nlinked to responsible parental behavior; \n \na continuation ofefforts associated with \n \nGeorgia's waiver initiatives; \n \nincorporation of Work First into the \n \nprogram's design; and strong emphasis \n \non reducing teen pregnancy. It is a \n \nwork program with a cash assistance \n \ncomponent. The cash assistance will be \n \ncalled the Georgia Temporary Support \n \nGrant (GTSG). \n \nGeneral Provisions The Department of Human \nResources, Division of Family and Children Services will administer the program at the State level. Services will be administered through 159 local Departments of Family and Children Services. \n \nSelf-sufficiency services and family assistance beneftts will include: \n Work activities emphasizing job search, job training and job placement; \n Support services such as child care, housing vouchers, transportation vouchers and emergency assistance; and \n Cash assistance via check or electronic transfer. \nCurrent recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children will be given appropriate notice and information regarding the new program. Services will be provided in every political subdivision of the state. \nWork Participation and Activity Requirements \nGeorgia will adhere to the work requirements and participation rates described in Section 407(a) of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Georgia will offer the activities allowable under Section 407 (d) of the act. \nSingle parents with a child less than 12 months ofage will be exempted from work. However, teen parents will be required to attend school regardless of age of their youngest child. All parents whose youngest child is age 1 or older will work, prepare to work or engage in community service employment. Applicants will be required to engage in a job search assignment. \nA Personal Responsibility and Work Plan will be developed for all new cash assistance cases. The plan will state the obligations of the recipient and the responsibilities of the agency; emphasize the temporary and contractual nature of assistance; and describe work and other activities required of the recipient. \nPersonal Responsibility Requirements Adults receiving assistance on \nbehalfof their children will be required to engage in responsible behavior as a condition of receipt. They must attend parent/teacher conferences; cooperate \n \nwith Child Support Enforcement; and see that their children are immunized. They may also be required to participate in parenting classes; attend family planning counseling; participate in prenatal care; attend life skills classes; participate in substance abuse counseling/treatment; attend mental health counseling; participate in rehabilitation services; and address any other needs identifted in assessment. Parents under age 18 must live with parents or in another supervised setting and attend school. \nTemporary Support Grants Assistance will be provided to \ncitizens and eligible refugees. Families moving to Georgia and applying for assistance will be paid the grant amount they would have received in their previous state of residence or in the State of Georgia -- whichever is lower -- for a period of up to one year. They will also be subject to the more restrictive time limits of their previous state, when applicable. Recipients of GTSG will receive Medicaid. \nSanctions Failure to meet work requirements \nor other stated obligations will result in a reduction in the grant. The family may be terminated from the Temporary Support Grant for subsequent failure to comply. \nCulture Change The strategies developed in the last . \ntwo years with the introduction of the Work First philosophy will be expanded and standardized. Former welfare offices wiH now be employment resource centers with the primary focus being the attainment of economic self-sufficiency.

The primary purpose of the division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management, administration and programs. The division also assists in ensuring that the department complies with mandates and legal requirements. \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE --The commissioner and staff provide leadership for one of the largest state agencies in state government to ensure that the goals and objectives of the department are met. There are approximately 45,000 state and county employees in over 100 programs in 1,000 locations in all 159 counties. The commissioner is appointed by and accountable to the Board of Human resources which is appointed by the Governor. \nBUDGET AND FINANCIAL SERVICES--Budget and Financial Services has responsibility for auditing, budget preparation and management, fmancial tracking and reporting. This office provides guidance to all divisions and offices regarding all items related to the budget and/or requested appropriations. \nPERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION--This office is responsible for classification and compensation; the flexible benefits program; complaint and discipline management; managing employee relations; equal employment opportunity; and maintenance of personnel records. \nFRAUD AND ABUSE--The Office of Fraud and Abuse investigates suspected fraud and abuse within the department's public assistance programs and seeks adjudication through the judicial or administrative process. This office also receives, reviews and investigates all reports of criminal misconduct by employees of the department. \nREGULATORY SERVICES--The Office of Regulatory Services is responsible for inspecting, monitoring, licensing, certifying and registering a variety of health, long-term and child care programs to ensure that facilities and programs are operated in compliance with appropriate state statutes or rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Human Resources.

Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department of Medical Assistance. \nAGING--The Office of Aging administers statewide programs that provide community-based support services to the elderly. These programs allow the elderly to remain in their homes and communities as long as possible and prevent premature or unnecessary placement of individuals in longterm care facilities. Programs are classified in two broad categories: Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and \n \nAging Services. The CCSP was developed to implement the Georgia Community Care and Services for the Elderly Act. The program provides for client assessment, case management and six major services, including adult day rehabilitation and home-delivered services under a Medicaid waiver to individuals who meet specified income and health-related criteria. The Aging Services component is a series of related services and fund sources that do not have specific incomebased eligibility criteria but are targeted to the most economically or socially needy individuals. Services are provided statewide through contracts with 17 Area Agencies on Aging, each coordinating service delivery in a designated geographical area of the state. Services include outreach, senior centers, home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and Alzheimer's programs. \nTROUBLED CHILDREN--The Troubled Children program purchases treatment from intensive and intermediate residential treatment facilities and therapeutic foster care for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. Treatment may include the services of psychiatrists, social workers, therapists and other medical professions. In F.Y. 1996, this program will provide 889 placements. \nATTACHED AGENCIES \nThe State Health Planning Agency is attached to the Department of Human Resources for administrative purposes. It serves as staff to the Health Strategies Council and provides research and technical assistance in developing the components of the State Health Plan.

Public Health accomplishes this mission through the provision of two broad categories of serves: \n Individual health services. Direct delivery of health and medical care to individuals. \n Population-based services. Activities and interventions that are targeted to protect entire populations from illness, disease and injury. \nRANGE OF HEALTH SERVICES Approximately 25 percent of Georgia's residents, or \n1,800,000 individuals, receive health services at county health departments each year. However, all Georgians benefit from the population-based services provided by the division. Specific duties of the Division of Public Health include: \n Preventing, controlling and treating a variety of diseases and afflictions which affect physical health, including cancer, diabetes, hear attacks, hypertension, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, tuberculosis, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. \n Providing services in family planning, teenage pregnancy prevention, family health care, maternal and infant health care, dental hygiene, community care for the elderly, malnutrition, and immunizations. \n Providing and disseminating health information and education. \n Conducting laboratory testing, epidemiological investigations and reporting of communicable and infectious diseases. \n Monitoring various aspects of environmental health including inspections of restaurants, sewage systems, hotels and motels, and other facilities for compliance with health laws. \n Collecting vital statistics and maintaining records of all births, deaths, marriages, and abortions occurring in Georgia. \n Licensing and regulating ambulance services and certifying emergency medical personnel. \n\"CORE\" FUNCTIONS Because the responsibilities of Public Health have \nevolved to be so broad and varied, there has been much discussion about what the basic role of Public Health should be. To address these concerns, the division has adopted three \"core\" functions: \n Assessment. Analyzing and evaluating, on a \n \ncontinuous basis, the prevailing health status and health needs of the community. \n Policy Development. Using the information gathered from assessment to develop and direct comprehensive state and local public health policies. \n Assurance. Making sure that needed health services are available, either through the public or private sector, that address the health status and health needs of the community. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The Division of Public Health has 19 district health \noffices located across the state. Each district office is headed by a director who must by law be a medical doctor. The director, along with the district health staff, provides leadership, administrative and program support to county health departments in the delivery of health services and in community health assessment. \nIn each of Georgia's 159 counties, there is a county health department which is governed by a county board of health. These boards are responsible for planning, developing and implementing health programs and activities. Services are provided through 274 health department clinic sites. Low fees are charged for some services based on income; however, no one can be denied services based on inability to pay. \nCENTER FOR HEALTH INFORMATION The center has three major functions: Vital records, \nhealth assessment services and management information systems. The Vital Records Unit registers and certifies all births, deaths, marriages, divorces and adoptions. The Health Assessment Services Unit conducts public health research, identifies causes of problems and health care needs, monitors and forecasts health trends, and evaluates mortality and morbidity data. The Management Information System Unit provides computer infrastructure development and maintenance for the division. It also maintains a wide area network for information dissemination to public health officials. \nAUTHORITY Titles 31 and 49-6-60, Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated; and Public Laws 78-410 as amended, 889-564 as amended. 95-623,95-627,96-212 as amended, 96-510, and 99-457. \n \n266 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Rehabilitation Services \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Capital Outlay Case Services ESRP Case Services Special Purpose Contracts Purchase of Service Contracts Institutional Repairs \u0026 Maint.

As required by the 1992 amendments to the federal Rehabilitation Act, the Division gives priority to those with the most severe disabilities. \nDRS also provides speakers, seminars and consultation to state and local governments, employers and consumer organizations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. \nVOCATIONAL REHABILITATION Comprehensive services designed to rehabilitate \ndisabled individuals are provided in 53 field offices in eight districts and six rehabilitation facilities operated by the state. Additionally, the Division contracts with 22 private nonprofit facilities located across the state. Services include vocational assessment, the development of an individually written rehabilitation plan based on service needs, medical treatment, psychological services, vocational and academic training, counseling, interpreter services for the deaf, reader services for blind individuals, work adjustment training, equipment and job placement. \nALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES While employment in the public and private sectors \nis the major emphasis of the placement process, there are alternative programs for people who are currently unable to work in the competitive labor market. \nThe Supported Employment Program offers support and services for individuals whose disabilities are so severe as to have precluded immediate entry or re-entry into the competitive workforce. Through temporary job coaches and supports within the community, a person can learn necessary job skills while working in a real job setting. \nThe Georgia Industries for the Blind provides training and employment in manufacturing and services to afford citizens who are blind the opportunity to learn job skills that can be used in the private sector. Plants are located in Bainbridge, Griffm and Atlanta. \nThe Business Enterprises Program provides employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired to become independent business people operating vending facilities throughout the state. The federal Randolph Shephard Act gives priority to blind individuals in federal buildings and requires that the Director of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program be the state licensing agency. \n \nINDEPENDENT LIVING The Independent Living Program coordinates \nservices to individuals with severe disabilities to assist them in becoming independent in the local community. Preventing and/or removing people from nursing home care is one of the major functions of the Independent Living Program. Services are provided through contracts with seven nonprofit agencies in Atlanta, Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Gainesville, Macon and Savannah. Additionally, the Division operates a residential treatment program at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute. \nROOSEVELT WARM SPRINGS INSTITUTE The Institute is a statewide comprehensive \nrehabilitation facility which serves people with severe disabilities. Major programs include a 78-bed hospital, a 215-bed vocational rehabilitation unit, a 15-bed inpatient head injury unit, a statewide Spinal Cord/Head Injury Registry, an industrial rehabilitation program, outpatient service and five satellite clinics.

The mission of the division is to enable families and individuals to protect and care for their children and themselves. The division works to prevent dependency and to keep families together. \nThere are county departments of family and children services in each of the 159 counties. The county offices are administered by a county director and a local board. The county director oversees the daily operations and administers the programs in the county. The board serves as an advocate for the county department and approves the budget for the agency's operations and for county-funded programs. The board members are appointed by the County Commission. \nEMWLOYMENTPROGRAMS DFCS is the state agency responsible for conducting the \nstate's program under the provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The program replaces Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The primary goal of the program is to assist needy families to become self-supporting through job preparation, work and prevention of out of wedlock pregnancies. \nBeginning January I, 1997, assistance will be provided in the following manner: work activities that will include job search, job training, and assistance with job placement; support services such as child care, vouchers for housing, transportation, emergency needs and other necessary expenditures that will assist the family toward work and prevent the need for cash assistance; and, cash assistance in the form of Georgia Temporary Support Grants which will be provided either by check or electronic benefit transfer. \nThe identified services will be available in all political subdivisions in the state. Services will be directed by the county Department of Family and Children Services in collaboration with other local public and private agencies. A range of job placement, job preparation and support services are available in each subdivision but vary in content based on local resource availability. Once a recipient is determined ready for work or has been receiving cash assistance for 24 months, the recipient will be reqUired to participate in work activities. If appropriate work or jobpreparation activities are not available, participation in community service will be required. All services are \n \nprovided in keeping with the goal of reducing dependency by assisting recipients in leaving cash assistance as soon as possible and by diverting applicants from joining the rolls at application. \nCHILD SUPPORT Child Support Enforcement helps any custodial parent or \ncaretaker with collecting regular child support from a parent who should be contributing but is not. Child support money collected goes directly to parents and their children. In 1996, $302.6 million was collected from absent parents for the support of their children. Operating expenses totaled $64.2 million, of which $6.4 million were state funds. The program operates from 71 offices in 47 Judicial Circuits. Legal assistance is provided by local Assistant District Attorneys or Special Assistant Attorney Generals. The federal funding includes incentives earned on collections based on cost effectiveness. \nSOCIAL SERVICES DFCS caseworkers receive approximately 78,000 reports \nof child abuse and neglect annually. The staff investigate reports and assess the level of risk the family situation poses to the child. If danger exists, a foster home or emergency shelter placement is found to provide temporary care. Over 17,000 children are in the protective custody of the state at any given time. \nChildren whose parents have relinquished custody to DHR, those of parents whose rights have been terminated by the judicial system or who otherwise are without parental support are available for adoption through the state. Many of these children are classified as special needs children and qualify for a supplemental payment after adoption. The adoption supplement provides payment at 75 percent of the foster care rate in order to help adoptive parents care for their special needs child. Over 600 children were placed in adoptive homes through the state inF.Y. 1996. \nAUTHORITY \nTitles IS-II, 19-7-5, 19-8, 19-9,29-5-2,30-5,31-7-2,38-329, 39-4, 49-2, 49-3, 49-4-3, and 49-5, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 93-288, 95-113, ~6-272, 96-422, 97-35, 98-558, 100-203, 100-485, 104-193 and 49 Stat., 620 as amended. \n \n275 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Motor Vehicle Equip.

The Division is charged by law to: \n Provide adequate mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services to all Georgians. \n Provide a unified system which encourages cooperation and sharing among government and private providers. \n Provide services through a coordinated and unified system which emphasizes community-based services. \nThe mission of the division is to provide and promote the services necessary to prevent and reduce the disabling effects of mental illness, mental retardation, and substance abuse. These services are designed to maximize the client's level of personal and social competency, independence and selfsufficiency. \nSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM \nThe division is responsible for setting policy regarding the use of all federal and state funds and will maintain policy oversight. The regional boards are responsible for service planning, coordinating, contracting and resource allocation functions. The division and the regional planning boards are responsible for setting outcome measures and monitoring and evaluating the achievements of service providers. \nTwenty-eight Community Service Boards have been established to govern the operation of public mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse community services. The regional and community boards are responsible for encouraging availability of consumer choice of providers by expanding participation of public and private providers. \nSTATE HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS \nThere are eight regional hospitals primarily addressing psychiatric and substance abuse problems. These hospitals are located in Atlanta (2), Augusta, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome, Savannah and Thomasville. Additionally, patients are sent to state hospitals by court order for evaluation before trial and for treatment if found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity. Two state institutions, Brook Run in Atlanta and Gracewood State School and Hospital in Augusta, serve people with mental retardation exclusively. Four of the regional hospitals have special units serving people with severe mental retardation. \nThe 10 institutions have a total staff of 10,536 which provide inpatient and outpatient services, therapies and other support services to clients within multi-county service areas. With an average client load of approximately 3,997, for all \n \ninstitutions, they serve 22,000 patients annually. \nAREA PROGRAMS \nThe 28 community service areas are made up of a variety of dispersed but coordinated subprograms serving all age and primary disability groups. Basically, this service network includes community mental health center clinic sites, mental retardation day training centers, detoxification units, 28-day treatment programs for substance abusers, day treatment programs for adolescent substance abusers and a variety of residential programs for all disability groups. Additionally, there are a number of community programs operated through contracts with private nonprofit agencies. \nThis service network delivers comprehensive preventive, early detection, rehabilitation and treatment services for five major groups: adults with serious or chronic mental illness, children and adolescents who are severely emotionally disturbed, people who are mentally retarded, adults addicted to alcohol or other drugs and teens with alcohol and drug problems. Clients most in need are those with social, emotional, developmental and/or physical disabilities resulting from mental illness, mental retardation or substance abuse, and who, without state-supported services, are unable to function. \nWith the involvement of the clients and their families, program staff develop an individual service plan for each of these clients. The people who do not meet the most-in-need criteria receive short-term crisis intervention and referral to other public and private services. Additionally, community staff screen patients for admission to regional hospitals and give follow-up care to patients who are discharged from the hospitals. \nThe community service programs are comprised of 225 state staff and over 10,000 local staffwho provide services to approximately 125,000 mentally ill, 14,000 mentally retarded and 43,000 substance abuse clients annually. \nAUTHORITY \nTitles 15-11-40, 17-7-130, 17-7-131,26-5,31-3,37-1-20, 37-2 through 37-10 and 40-5, Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and Public Laws 97-35 as amended, 100-960, 100203, 101-476, and 101-496. \n \n279 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nTEMPORARY ASSISTANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTS \nPURPOSE: Provide necessary assistance to needy families with children on a temporary basis, enforce parental responsibility and provide parents with job preparation, work opportunities, daycare for their children and other support services to enable them to become self-sufficient. \nGOALS Increase the number of recipients becoming employed and leaving the program.

The department's advertising and marketing efforts are coordinated through this division. \nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Economic Development Division markets Georgia as \na location for new industries by providing out-of-state and international companies with accurate information on such topics as wage data, labor availability and taxes on potential sites; accompanying industry officials on tours of communities for prospective industrial development; and helping support local communities in their business development programs. The division also assists existing industries in expanding their present facilities or relocating to other Georgia communities. In addition, the economic development efforts include coordinating the support and operations ofthe overseas offices in Tokyo and Brussels. \nThe division provides research and information support by publishing promotional material on transportation, international facilities, education, quality oflife and available buildings. The division also maintains the Georgia Manufacturing Directory database that includes nearly 10,000 manufacturing companies in the state, and maintains current economic development profiles on Georgia communities. \nThe Film Program, as part ofthe Economic Development Division, functions to develop and promote the state's film, television and commercial production industry. The staff working in the Film Program actively pursue film prospects through direct mail marketing, prospect visits, advertising and trade show participation. Film also provides a program of onlocation assistance to production companies and coordinates the filming needs ofthe company with other state agencies and local governments. \nINTERNATIONAL TRADE The role ofthe International Trade Division is to promote \nthe sale of Georgia products and services to customers abroad and to coordinate all facets ofintemational trade and exporting in the state. Through the Export Assistance Center, \n \nthe Trade Division assists small and medium size businesses involved in exporting with trade leads, market analysis, trade shows and identification of financial assistance options. Coordination of international trade assistance is accomplished through: \nInternational Programs--Building relationships with Georgia companies to develop programs that will lead to increased sales of Georgia companies in foreign markets. \nIn-State Programs--Building relationships with local private sector partners, primarily chambers of commerce, to increase awareness among Georgia companies ofthe benefits of exporting. \nTrade Contracts--Developing and contracting for identification offoreign trade opportunities in Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Latin America and other countries. \nTOURISM The Tourism Division's role is to increase the number of \ntravelers by developing information services to reach travelers before they leave home and by developing a marketing strategy that leads travelers to choose Georgia as a vacation destination. Through regional tourism representatives, the division assists local and regional tourism associations in the development of effective tourism programs. \nTourism is also responsible for the operation of the state's II visitor information centers. These centers serve approximately 17 million visitors annually with travel information, reservations and assistance. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia Ports Authority is responsible for the \noperation, administration and maintenance of Georgia's four ports--two ocean ports located in Savannah and Brunswick, and two inland ports located in Columbus and Bainbridge. Additionally, the authority promotes the port facilities to shipping lines worldwide through its sales offices in Atlanta, New York, Tokyo, Oslo and Athens. The state provides no operating funds to the Ports Authority. \nThe Georgia World Congress Center Authority is responsible for promoting and servicing regional, national and international events, conventions and trade shows which generate economic benefits to the state. The authority owns and operates the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome, which is also the home ofthe Atlanta Falcons. The state provides no operating funds to the Congress Center. \nAUTHORITY Title 50-7, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n305 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Department ofIndustry, Trade and Tourism is Georgia's lead agency for attracting new business investment, encouraging expansion of existing industry, locating new markets for Georgia products, promoting tourism and promoting the state as a location for film and video projects. \nThe department has offered services through three major programmatic divisions - Economic Development, International Trade and Tourism. Now Governor Miller is enhancing and improving the department's overall economic development responsibilities by adding two new divisions - Legacy Marketing and Strategic Planning and Research. The Legacy Marketing Division incorporates Operation Legacy into the department creating a publicprivate partnership that targets for development growth industries important to Georgia's future. The Strategic Planning and Research Division will conduct the research and strategic planning needed not only by the department, but by the Governor and the General Assembly in formulating state economic development policy and strategy. This division will prepare the research and help formulate the marketing plans needed by the new Legacy Division in its targeting of key growth industries. \nOPERATION LEGACY Background. Leveraging the \nGlobal exposure provided by the 1996 Olympic Games, the Governor of Georgia and a number of public and private entities launched in 1994 a worldwide targeted marketing and development program called Operation Legacy. \nOperation Legacy attracted some of the world's leading investors and corporations to Atlanta during the Olympics and familiarized them with the extraordinary economic opportunities unfolding in Georgia. In the months and years that led up to the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Operation Legacy hosted a number ofVIP Tours ofAtlanta \n \nand Georgia. While designed to provide an exciting Olympic experience and a preview of the Games, the tours imparted a practicl understanding ofthe state's aggressive plans for growth and the business/investment opportunities that growth will generate. Moreover, those that came gained an extraordinary overview of the resources -- human, financial, intellectual, cultural, technological, and corporate -- that have fueled Georgia's emergence as the leader ofthe Southeast and the strongest state economy east of the Rocky Mountains. \nThe number one goal of Operation Legacy was to present the qualities and character that have made Atlanta and Georgia one of the world's most desirable business centers and corporate relocation sites for the industries targeted. \nLEGACY MARKETING DIVISION Governor Miller is proposing to \ncontinue the Legacy program with a strategic focus that builds on Georgia's competitive strengths and seeks the best opportunities for creating vital industries for the future. The Governor is creating the Legacy Marketing Division managed by a deputy commissioner and with $600,000 added for a special Legacy Marketing Program that will be matched by private funds. Enhancement funds of $126,960 and redirected funds of $33,000 will provide the new funding needed for division operations. In addition, a transfer of$331 ,204 and five positions from the Economic Development Division will provide a basic stafffor the Legacy Division. The operational approach for the division is to encourage the private sector not only to contribute marketing funds but also to allocate staff to work as a team with state personnel in achieving Legacy goals and objectives. \nThe targeted marketing and business development approach of the Legacy program is designed to maximize the use of limited resources to build industries for Georgia's economic future. The legacy Program will target new \n \nindustries with higher, value-added products that rely on new advanced technology. With the support ofthe new Strategic Planning and Research Division, the legacy program will focus not only on recruiting companies but on building the infrastructure, business climate and incentives needed to position and promote Georgia as a place for these targeted industries/companies to do business. \nFor Legacy's targeted marketing approach to work effectively requires understanding thoroughly, through research and consultation with industry experts, the requirements ofthe targeted industry. Then it requires identifying sites or areas that can meet these requirements and determining those companies most likely to make investments in the near future. Finally, Legacy marketing requires formulation ofa marketing plan and strategy for each targeted industry that effectively utilizes all available public and private resources. One ofthe major purposes of the new Strategic Planning and Research Division is to provide this research and planning for the Legacy Marketing Division. \nSTRATEGIC PLANNING AND RESEARCH DIVISION \nGovernor Miller proposes a new Strategic Planning and Research Division that will support not only the new Legacy program but will also provide the research and planning needed for all department functions and for the Governor and the General Assembly in the formulation of the state's overall economic development strategy. Important functions of this division will include improving the state's business climate, enhancing development incentives, creating the infrastructure and mobilizing the resources (public and private) needed for sustained quality growth. The division will be led by a deputy commissioner. Enhancement funds of $123,040 and redirected funds of$89,000, including one new research position will provide \n \n306 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \nnew funding needed for division operations. In addition, a transfer of $386,287 and seven positions from the Economic Development Division will provide the core staff for the division. Currently, the Economic Development Division has a research unit that will be transferred to the new division. Finally, $150,000 in marketing is budgeted in the Administration Division for contracting research and planning requiring specialized expertise. The Legacy Partners will raise funds needed to support additional operational needs ofthis Division and the Legacy Division. The Strategic Planning and Research Division will need additional funds to properly support the Governor in formulation and coordination of the state's economic development strategy. \nBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING \nThe Department's Economic Development Division will continue its traditional economic development role of recruiting new industry and encouraging the expansion of existing industry to create new jobs and generate more capital investment in Georgia. \nAs the state's marketing arm, the Department of Industry, Trade- and Tourism provides advertising, public relations, trade show and marketing mission assistance services for Georgia. The primary purposes of these marketing efforts are to build a positive image of Georgia and generate the inquiries from business prospects, exporters and travelers. Whether tourism, trade or new company prospects, the department emphasizes the state's business climate, education and training programs, and overall quality of life. \nR\u0026D Marketing. Governor Miller is recommending that $150,000 of the department's regular marketing budget be used to develop and implement a multi-year marketing strategy which will more effectively position Georgia as a center for research and development comparable to North Carolina's Research Triangle. The \n \nreality is that Georgia's research universities now exceed the North Carolina Research Triangle universities in the dollar value of research and development performed. Part of this funding for research and development includes $126 million over the past five years for the Georgia Research Alliance and almost $19 million for the Governor's traditional industries research and development program over the past four years. Yet, Georgia still does not have the reputation and image it deserves given its accomplishments. Even many Georgia businesses are not aware ofthe Georgia Research Alliance, the Governor's traditional industries program or Georgia's successes in research and development. \nIf Georgia is to be more successful in attracting private research and development facilities and new technology companies, it must do a better job telling businesses and universities throughout the world what Georgia has done. Governor Miller is challenging both the Georgia Research Alliance and the University System and its research foundations to match the state's $150,000 to produce a total marketing effort of$450,000. \nCOOPERATIVE TOURISM ADVERTISING \nIn F.Y. 1998, the promotion of tourism in Georgia will concentrate on leveraging state dollars with private dollars to develop public-private partnerships. Governor Miller is recommending $300,000 in marketing funds for a revived cooperative Tourism program. The Tourism Division will work closely with Georgia's tourism regions in a cooperative endeavor to advertise these regions and attract more tourists. The regions must match the state's efforts using local and private resources. \nGovernor Miller is recommending $200,000 to participate in another tourism public-private partnership to market the Southeast to the world. The partnership includes 10 southeastern states and major tourism destinations \n \nthat will initially target the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada for a total international marketing campaign of $5 million. Most ofthis funding will be raised from private sector tourism destinations and businesses. The goal is to market and promote travel with other destination cities in the Southeast, recognizing the vast number of attractions, sporting events, history, scenic and cultural beauty found within this area. \nVISITOR CENTERS Visitor centers are the front door to \nour state and, therefore, must make a good first impression on visitors. This first impression can influence the state's ability to be a vacation destination to the 17 million visitors who stop at the 11 centers each year. \nIn fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 1997, the Governor recommended the reconstruction of the visitor centers in Ringgold, Lavonia and Augusta respectively, and in F.Y. 1995 $500,000 was provided for major repairs to the state's visitor centers. In F.Y. 1997 almost $500,000 was budgeted to extend visitor information center hours, 24-hour restroom service, enhanced maintenance and security and special travel marketing events during the Olympic Games. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 recommendation provides $500,000 in G.O. bonds to make further repairs to visitor center roofs and sewage treatment plants and $140,000 to contract with the Department of Corrections for grounds maintenance at the five largest centers. \nINTERNATIONAL TRADE Since the creation of a separate \nTrade Division by Governor Miller in 1993, the department's trade efforts have focused on assisting companies in targeted industries with export potential. In F.Y. 1996, Governor Miller expanded an overseas trade program that focused on contracts targeted to various countries offering trade opportunities rather than establishing overseas offices staffed with department employees. Building on \n \n307 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM -- Strategies and Services \n \nexisting contracts in Mexico, Canada and Taiwan, $400,000 in contract funds was used to expand international trade representation in South America, South Africa and in other emerging world markets. This funding has enabled the division to aid Georgia exporters directly in most major world markets. For F.Y. 1998, the Governor is recommending the department's request to convert the Brussels Office position that deals with trade to one or more contracts that target Europe's best trade opportunities. \nAlso in F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller is recommending $150,000 in marketing for an incoming buyers program that will focus on matching foreign buyers with potential Georgia suppliers. This recommendation builds on the success ofGeorgia promoting the \"Sunbelt Agricultural Expo\" to foreign buyers. An additional $50,000 recommended in marketing will enable the Trade Division to update the Made in Georgia, USA publication in a newsletter format via the Web page. \nThe department will also continue to work through the Export Assistance Center, providing export information to small and medium-sized businesses in Georgia. During its first year of operation, the Center provided export information and resources to almost 1,000 visitors and responded to more than 4,000 information requests from Georgia exporters and prospective exporters as well as from international buyers interested in Made In Georgia USA products and services. The Georgia Export Assistance Center remains the only one of 13 around the country that involves a true partnership between federal agencies, led by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and state agencies, led by the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism. \nEXPORT TECHNOLOGY A multi-state Regional Trade \nInitiatives program funded by the \n \nAppalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has given the State of Georgia a grant to undertake nine pilot projects to develop international trade, community leadership and telecommunications in the ARC region which includes 30 counties in North Georgia. The grant will enable the Trade Division to enhance global economic trade opportunities for Georgia companies in the ARC region through enhanced trade partnerships. \nOne of the major grant-funded projects will be the installation of PCbased videoconferencing systems in several strategic locations in North Georgia. This equipment will provide the platform and \"connections\" for improved delivery oftrade services and export training programs which can also be leveraged for other economic development purposes. These new \"desktop\" systems will also interface with the state's existing GSAMS videoconferencing network, to support a variety ofcommunications functions and formats. The electronic databases ofthe Georgia International Trade Data Network are available to interested trade partners from the Export Assistance Center's Trade Resource Center. \nGEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY Governor Miller has always \nmaintained that Georgia must remain a Southeast center for international commerce. His commitment to positioning Georgia for global trade expansion is reflected in his budgets since F.Y. 1992. He has recommended over $111 million in funding for port facilities in Savannah and Brunswick. In addition, the state has invested $33 million for Savannah River harbor deepening and $33.5 million for harbor maintenance. In addition, Governor Miller has supported the Ports Authority in its commitment of $11 million in authority revenues to provide for an expansion at Mayor's Point in \n \nBrunswick, a new liquid bulk import berth in Savannah, and facilities for Home Depot in Savannah. \nUnder the management of the Georgia Ports Authority, the Port of Savannah has emerged as one of the premier container ports in the U.S., offering service to more than 100 countries by more than 50 major steamship lines. Savannah now is the tenth largest container port in the United States and the third largest in the highly competitive South Atlantic market. The Authority's growth rate in container tonnage has exceeded 61 % over the last ten years and with Home Depot is expected to exceed 75 percent by the end of 1997. \nFor F.Y. 1998 the Governor is recommending $13.3 million in G.O. bonds to purchase two new container cranes to maximize the opportunities presented by the state's investment in Container Berth 7. The cranes will load and unload cargo more quickly and efficiently, thus providing better service to the Port Authority's customers. \nThe Governor also proposes for F.Y. 1998 to enhance Savannah's breakbulk capabilities by recommending $14,490,000 in G.O. bonds to extend Berth 13 (by constructing a 700 x 145 foot dock) and to provide a new 200,000 square foot transit shed adjacent to Berth 13. Georgia Ports Authority is the only one among its competitive South Atlantic Ports to increase breakbulk tonnage since 1989. Competitors have seen breakbulk tonnage declines of25% to 46% while Georgia's breakbulk tonnage has grown 33%. Providing additional breakbulk storage capacity and more dock space will also allow the Ports Authority to better serve its customers and remain the main breakbulk port in the South Atlantic. With the F.Y. 1998 recommendations Governor Miller will have provided over $200 for improvements to Georgia's ports and harbors. \n \n308 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nBUSINESS RECRUITMENT AND EXPANSION \nPURPOSE: Recruit companies from outside Georgia and support expansion of existing industry within the state with special attention to the slower growth regions of the state. \nGOALS Promote Georgia as a place to locate and expand business through advertising, public relations and other marketing efforts.

The Department organizes its efforts,in fulfIlling these responsibilities around four divisions. \nINTERNAL ADMINISTRATION DIVISION The Internal Administration Division provides \nmanagement, policy direction, enforcement and administrative support for the department's program regulating companies and protecting consumers in the areas of insurance, industrial loan regulation, fire safety, manufactured housing, arson investigation, building inspection, hazardous material handling and storage, and other related areas. The division's activities include performing personnel, purchasing payroll, budgeting, and accounting duties for all agency divisions; and establishing department policy, procedures, regulations and enforcement capabilities. \nINSURANCE REGULATION DIVISION The Insurance Regulation Division is responsible for \nadministering Georgia insurance laws and regulations by reviewing and approving insurance company property; casualty, life, accident and sickness policy forms and rates; approving applications for insurance companies to conduct business in Georgia; approving applications for individuals to obtain insurance agent licenses; and regulating group selfinsurance funds for workers' compensation insurance. The division oversees the regulation of automobile self-insurers, Captive Insurance companies, and Interlocal Risk Management. \n \nINDUSTRIAL LOAN REGULATION DIVISION The Industrial Loan Regulation Division administers the \nGeorgia Industrial Loan Act by performing examinations and on-site investigations of all accounts held by the industrial loan companies (small loan companies making loans of $3,000 or less) licensed to do business in Georgia, accounting for all fees and taxes payable by the industrial loan companies, and approving applications for new industrial loan company licenses and investigating consumer complaints. \nFIRE SAFETY AND MOBILE HOME REGULATION DIVISION \nThe Fire Safety and Mobile Home Regulation Division administers and enforces compliance with Georgia and federal laws affecting manufactured housing and fire safety by reviewing applications for license and permits to use or store hazardous or physically unstable substances and materials; by reviewing construction plans for public buildings and manufactured houses for adequate fire hazard prevention and protection. The division inspect public facilities for compliance with Georgia's fire safety laws and investigates cases involving suspicious fires in Georgia. \nAUTHORITY State Constitution; Official Code of Georgia Annotated \nTitle 45-14. \n \n318 \n \n OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Office of Commissioner of \n \nInsurance administers a number of \n \nstrategies and services to fulfIll its \n \nduties in regulating the state's \n \ninsurance industry, industrial loan \n \ncompanies and fire safety standards. \n \nThese activities are geared toward \n \nenabling the Department to satisfy its \n \nregulatory \n \nresponsibilities \n \neffectively, and to protect and assist \n \nthe public in the areas the \n \nDepartment oversees. Highlighted \n \nbelow are the some of these \n \nprograms and developments; namely, \n \nFinancial Examinations, Computer \n \nServices, Agents Licensing \n \nPrivatization, Consumer Services, \n \nProperty and Casualty, Fire Safety \n \nEducation and Hazardous Materials. \n \nFINANCIAL EXAMINATIONS The Financial Examinations \nsection performs activities in the areas of insurance company fmancial reviews, market conduct compliance and premium tax collection. The insurance company fmancial reviews decide whether an insurer is complying with state law and department regulations, report any non-compliance or other problems, and verify the insurer's fmancial solvency. The section completed 119 fmancial reviews/examinations in F.Y. 1996. The section's market conduct work involves analyzing insurer records regarding rates charged policyholders to determine if the insurer is adhering to state law and department regulations, and if the rates being charged policyholders are consistent with the rates fIled with the department. F. Y. 1996 saw 83 market conduct examinations performed. The section also processes the premium tax returns from all insurance companies and surplus lines brokers licensed to operate in the state, and collects the premium tax payments. The department annually receives an average of over $200 million in state \n \npremium taxes and nearly the same amount in local premium taxes. The collected local premium tax revenue is distributed to all the state's counties and municipalities. \nCOMPUTER SERVICES The department's Computer \nServices section is analyzing the various electronic and information systems technologies utilized within the department to determine the most productive way to apply and upgrade the department's information technology to give consumers and those regulated efficient and expeditious service. As a result, several developments are already on the horizon. During F.Y. 1997 and F.Y. 1998, the department will explore the feasibility of allowing the insurance companies to electronically fIle with the department the policyholder forms which require the Commissioner's review and approval before they can be used. The Regulatory Services section will be acquiring the ability to electronically receive the fmancial statements from insurance companies it is auditing. More extensive use of information technology is being planned for the Fire Safety division in the areas of analysis of inspection and investigation results and computer aided review of building engineering and architectural drawings to facilitate verification of compliance with state fire code regulations. Technology will be introduced in the Manufactured Housing section permitting inspectors to detect and evaluate problems arising during the manufacture of a mobile home, causing these problems to be corrected before production of a unit is fmished. This technology will enable inspectors to be more aggressive and proactive in discovering problems with these homes before work on them is done rather than after. \n \nAGENTS LICENSING \n \nPRIVATIZATION \n \nThe Agents Licensing section is \n \nthe department's arm for regulating \n \nover 70,000 state licensed insurance \n \nagents, adjusters, agencies, \n \ncounselors, subagents and surplus \n \nlines brokers. Traditionally, the \n \ndepartment has always conducted \n \nmany of the tasks involved with its \n \nlicensing duties internally. However, \n \nthe department, in F.Y. 1998, is \n \ncontractiIig much of the actual work \n \nand recordkeeping pertaining to the \n \nlicensing process to an outside \n \nvendor. \n \nThe vendor, with \n \ndepartment oversight, will be \n \nresponsible for maintaining the \n \nlicensing database, processing license \n \nrenewals and handling continuing \n \neducation fIlings from licensees. \n \nPrivatizing a significant portion of \n \nthe agents licensing process reduces \n \nthe department staff necessary for \n \nthis function, lowers the \n \ndepartment's computer costs, and \n \nshortens processing and response \n \ntimes for insurance agents, agencies, \n \ncompanies, and citizens. This effort, \n \nthe latest in a series of privatization \n \ninitiatives concerning the Agents \n \nLicensing operation, has been \n \ndesigned so that the cost of \n \nprivatization and improved service is \n \nborne by the industry, not the state. \n \nCONSUMER SERVICES The Consumer Services Division \nfunctions to assist citizens with insurance concerns. Toward this end, the division's activities include interceding in claims and other insurance related disputes; educating the general public on a variety of insurance issues using public presentations, publications and other means; assisting the public on insurance matters occurring after a disaster; and referring persons to the appropriate special programs state and federal agencies may offer to resolve a situation beyond the \n \n319 \n \n OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE -- Strategies and Services \n \ndepartment's purview. \n \nInvestigation of claims and other \n \ninsurance related disputes is the \n \ndivision's major activity. Cases are \n \nhandled by 41 investigators located in \n \nregions statewide. \n \nThese \n \ninvestigator s \n \ninterview insurance \n \ncompany personnel, \n \nindependent adjusters, \n \ninsurance agents and \n \nthe \n \ncomplaining \n \nparty, as well as \n \nreview all related \n \ndocumentation to \n \ndetermine if the \n \ncomplaint filed is \n \nvalid. Once this \n \nresearch and analysis \n \nof the complaint is \n \ncompleted, \n \nthe \n \ninvestigator reports \n \nthe results to the \n \nparties involved and \n \nworks with them to \n \nresolve the complaint. \n \nThe division closed \n \n84,038 cases in F.Y. \n \n1996. \n \nThe division also aids other \n \ndivisions within the department 'in a \n \nrange of areas. Examples of the \n \nareas the division investigators \n \nroutinely furnish support are: the \n \nEnforcement and Fraud Units in \n \nevidence procurement and case \n \nprosecution; Agents Licensing and \n \nRegulatory Services with records \n \nchecks on agents and companies; and \n \nthe Research Division on legislative \n \nmatters. \n \nPROPERTY AND CASUALTY The Property and Casualty \nDivision reviews insurance company property and casualty rates, rules and forms for compliance with state law and department regulations. As part of this review, all property and casualty insurers licensed to operate in Georgia must file information on all property and casualty premium rates, underwriting rules and policy \n \nforms with the division. Rate filings \n \nare evaluated against state law which \n \nprohibits rates which are excessive, \n \ninadequate \n \nor \n \nunfairly \n \ndiscriminatory. \n \nProperty and \n \ncasualty insurance policy forms and \n \nendorsements must be submitted to \n \nthe division for review 90 days \n \nbefore they are scheduled to become \n \neffective. \n \nThese forms and \n \nendorsements are examined to ensure \n \nthey comply with state law, contain \n \nno misleading titles or clauses, are \n \nlegibly printed, and do not include \n \nprovisions considered unfair or \n \ninequitable. In calendar year 1995, \n \nthe division received 5,832 rate and \n \nrule filings, and 3,844 form and \n \nendorsement filings from insurance \n \ncompanies and rating organizations. \n \nThe division also regulates a \n \nnumber of residual market insurance \n \nplans. These plans are designed to \n \nprovide coverage to individuals \n \nunable to ordinarily obtain insurance \n \nfrom licensed insurers of certain \n \nlines of insurance. Every state \n \nlicensed insurer offering automobile, \n \nproperty or workers compensation \n \ninsurance must participate in the \n \napplicable residual market plan to share these high risk applicants. Residual market plan rates, rules and forms are subject to regulations similar to those for the standard rates, rules and forms mentioned \nearlier. \nFIRE SAFETY EDUCATION \nThe Fire Safety Division, through its Fire Safety Education Program, develops instructional programs on and promotes awareness of fIre safety. The program's efforts emphasize a person's responsibility for fIre prevention and fIre safety measures at home, school, work and other areas. In this regard, the program coordinates the efforts of the Commissioner, news media, State Fire Marshal's OffIce and the department's Public Education section to educate the public on fIre safety in a clear, organized fashion. The program is attempting to further educate the public on fIre safety by expanding its involvement in several organizations such as the Coalition of Public Fire Safety Educators, Safe Kids of Georgia and the EMS Advisory Council. Prompted by the importance and the effectiveness of learning and practicing fIre safety at an early age, the program hopes to initiate and expand its efforts directed at school-age students as a way of reaching and teaching children about fIre safety. Some of these efforts include the Learn Not To Burn, Challenge For Life, and Junior Fire Marshal programs, as well as the acquisition of a mobile fIre safety house where live demonstrations of fITe safety techniques can be presented to school and public \n \n320 \n \n OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE -- Strategies and Services \n \ngroups.

The department, through its programs and wide spectrum ofservices, plays an important role in the development of the state's work force. Major areas of responsibilities of the department are in training, services, protection and information. \nTRAINING In a joint partnership with businesses and other community \nleaders, the department provides job training to economically disadvantaged youth and adults, older workers, summer youth and dislocated workers to increase employment opportunities and improve the quality ofthe labor force in the state. Through the Georgia Job Training Partnership program, authorized and funded under the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the department's responsibilities include: \n Administering over $65 million in federal funds annually as grants and contracts. \n Issuing regulations and monitoring programs to ensure operations in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. \n Providing technical assistance and training to local staff to improve program administration. \n Approving local job training plans.  Managing a performance standards system and tracking local operations against federal standards to determine areas of excellence, award of incentive funds and the need to assist or sanction local programs. During the past fiscal year, approximately 32,500 Georgians participated in one or more of the Partnership programs. The Partnership is directed locally in each of the state's 16 service delivery areas by a private industry council that participates in the unified planning process and oversees implementation of the planning function. Basic program decisions regarding what job training is needed in an area are made by the councils. \nSERVICES The department reduces the adverse impact of \nunemployment by providing monetary payments to eligible individuals for a limited period, and by assisting employers in minimizing their unemployment insurance tax liability. During F.Y. 1996, 433,844 unemployment claims were filed with the department. The department also provides federally-funded supplemental benefits to unemployed job seekers who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits. \n \nOne of the department's primary responsibilities is the administration of the public employment service in the state through a statewide network of 53 offices. The department provides an array of services which include: \n Referral of qualified applicants to employers who have listed job openings. \n Counseling and other services to help evaluate workers' job skills and better prepare them for available jobs. \n Referral to services provided by other agencies in the community, such as job training, adult education, vocational rehabilitation, veterans' programs, medical care and supportive services. \nA total of 58,838 applicants received employment or vocational counseling in F.Y. 1996. The department also provides basic readjustment services for \"dislocated workers\" whose job losses resulted from changing technology or other economic conditions. These services include assessment, counseling, testing, and job search and relocation assistance. Additionally, the department serves 1,530 at-risk youth at 17 sites located in school systems statewide through its Jobs for Georgia Graduates program; provides employment service to disabled individuals who register for the service; and provides placement and employment service to migrant/seasonal farm workers and Armed Forces veterans who are making the adjustment from military to civilian life. \nPROTECTION The department has responsibility for administering \nGeorgia laws regulating the employment of children and regulatory responsibility of equipment, such as amusement and camival rides, elevators, escalators, safety glass, high voltage apparatus, boilers and pressure vessels. The department processed 59,878 work permits for students during F.Y. 1996 and the Safety Engineering staff performed a total of 61,350 safety inspections of elevators, boilers and amusement rides. \nINFORMATION Compiling and disseminating labor market information is \na primary responsibility of the department. Available information includes data on employment, worker availability, wages and historic projected trends. Several of the statistical series published by the department, such as Georgia Labor Market Trends and Area Labor Profiles, serve as key indicators of the state's economic health. \nAUTHORITY Titles 8, 34, 39 and 46 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n329 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nStrategies and Services \n \n% EMPLOYMENT GROWfH \n1990-1996 \n \n1\" \n \n-1 \n \n-2 +----r-----,------,---l.-,-------,------1 \n \n1990 \n \n1991 \n \n1992 \n \n1993 \n \n1894 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \nSource: Labor Infonnation Systems, Georgia Department ofLabor \n \nFederally funded programs comprise almost all ofthe Department of Labor's activity in its mission to promote employment and employability throughout the state. Of the department's total appropriations in F.Y. 1996, about 88 percent was obtained from federal sources. Eleven percent was obtained from collected state administrative assessments, penalty and interest funds associated with the Unemployment Compensation Fund, and state funds collected from mandated inspections of facilities regulated by the department. State initiated and funded programs accounted for less than one percent of the department's activities \n \nFund Sources \n \nand funding. Major federal program areas \nare Unemployment Insurance, Employment Service and programs under the Job Training Partnership Act. State programs provided by the department are Safety Inspections and Child Labor Section activities. \n \nUNEMPLOYMENT \n \nINSURANCE \n \nService provIsIons for \n \nunemployment insurance consist \n \nof claims processing and benefit \n \npayments; appeals and hearings; \n \nand employer tax functions. \n \nWorkers who become unemployed \n \nthrough no fault oftheir own may be \n \neligible to receive unemployment \n \ninsurance benefits while seeking \n \nwork. These weekly benefit payments \n \nreplace part of the worker's lost \n \nincome and help promote economic \n \nstability in communities affected by \n \nlayoffs and business closings. \n \nCurrent unemployment insurance \n \nbenefit payments range from $37 per \n \nweek to a maximum of $215 per \n \nweek for up to 26 weeks. Extended \n \nbenefits allow an additional 13 weeks \n \nwhenever the unemployment rate \n \nexceeds five percent. The Emergency \n \nUnemployment Compensation Act, \n \nwhich went into effect in \n \nNovember \n \n1991, \n \nprovides \n \nfederally \n \nfunded supplemental \n \nbenefits up to an \n \nadditional 20 weeks to \n \nunemployed job seekers \n \nwho have exhausted \n \ntheir \n \nregular \n \nunemployment benefits. \n \nUnemployment \n \ninsurance is financed by \n \nemployer taxes paid \n \nunder the Federal \n \nUnemployment Tax Act. \n \nReserve funds for the \n \npayment of regular \n \nunemployment benefits \n \nare held in the \n \nUnemployment Insurance Trust Fund. Georgia's trust fund is consistently among the most solvent funds in the nation and had a balance of $1,557,198,139 atthe end ofF.Y. 1996. In addition to making claim determinations and processing benefit checks, the department also hears appeals, investigates fraud, and collects/processes employer wage reports and unemployment insurance. \n% UNEMPLOYMENT \n1990-1996 \n \n3+---,---'--r-------,-------,-'--,-----------, \n \n1990 \n \n1991 \n \n1992 \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1998 \n \nSource: Labor Infonnation Systems, Georgia Department ofLabor \n \nEMPLOYMENT SERVICE Employment Service activities \ninvolve maintenance of a job bank, intake, counseling, employability development, testing, referrals and placement. These services are free to the general public. Job listings can be retrieved by a specific geographic area, statewide or nationwide through an Automated Job Information System. The system enables job applicants to search for job openings through a network of computer terminals located in the department's 53 field offices statewide. The department also has established a direct computer linkage with the Interstate Job Bank in Albany, New York. This facility serves as a hub allowing 54 state employment service agencies to exchange information onjob listings and applicants. The system gives job seekers access to information \n \n330 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies and Services \n \non jobs in other states and provides employers with a way to recruit nationwide. With this computer linkage, the Department of Labor can directly exchange updated job order information daily. \nA system of combined intake provides all job applicants and Unemployment Insurance (VI) claimants with one-stop services. Intake provides for assessment of job-seeking applicants. All job seekers are then eligible for placement services, consisting ofjob matching and referral, job development, employment counseling, and referral to other agencies and services when further assistance is needed. \nAdditional assistance for UI claimants is provided by the department's Reemployment Units. Their goal is to shorten clients' time on unemployment insurance and return them to the workplace as quickly as possible. To achieve this goal, all claimants receive enhanced placement services through the Claimant Assistance Program. However, quick reemployment is not always possible. To identify those clients who are unlikely to be able to return to their previous occupations because of their backgrounds, the labor market and/or economic trends, all client information is first processed through a statistical model called VI Profiling. Those identified as potentially long-term claimants receive additional services such as workshops, tailored reemployment plans and job placement services. \nThe department also provides migrant seasonal farm worker outreach and assistance, alien labor certification, and training/reemployment services for workers displaced due to the imposition of federal import tariffs and changing economic conditions. Whenjob losses result from changes in the economy and technology, the department's field services offices provide basic readjustment services for job-ready dislocated workers who require minimal assistance with their job search in order \n \nto move back into suitable employment. \n \nMoreover, the federal Trade Act of 1974 \n \nprovides special benefits for eligible \n \nworkers who have lost their jobs or \n \nwhose hours of work and wages have \n \nbeen reduced due to increased imports. \n \nAfter certification ofTrade Act petitions \n \nby the U.S. Department of Labor, \n \nworkers receive benefits including the \n \nemployment-related services mentioned \n \nabove. \n \nUpon exhaustion of \n \nunemployment insurance compensation, \n \ntrade readjustment allowances are also \n \npaid to persons enrolled in approved \n \ntraining. For employers requesting alien \n \ncertification, the department processes \n \nlabor certification applications as \n \nauthorized by the Wagner-Peyser Act \n \nand Immigration and Nationality Act. \n \nThe department's Jobs for Georgia \n \nGraduates program is a comprehensive \n \nschool-to-work transition program \n \nfocusing on high school seniors \n \nconsidered most at risk for \n \nunemployment or who do not plan to \n \nseek higher education. Specific areas of \n \nassistance include employability skills \n \ninstruction, job placement, job \n \ndevelopment, follow-up services, and \n \ncareer association membership which in \n \naddition to offering career information \n \nalso offers opportunities for leadership \n \ntraining. There are also service delivery \n \nprovisions for remediation needs and \n \nbasic skills education. After graduation, \n \nthe youths receive follow-up services for \n \nnine months. In F.Y. 1996, counting \n \nboth in- and out-of-school youths, a total \n \nof 1,530 youths participated at 17 sites \n \nlocated in school systems throughout the \n \nstate at a cost of $981,813 in federal \n \nfunds. \n \nJOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT (JTPA) \nDepartment programs under the federal Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) provide employability assessment, training and placement for economically disadvantaged adults and youth. During F.Y. 1996 job training services were provided to approximately 32,500 disadvantaged and dislocated Georgians. JTPA funded programs are \n \nperformance driven, measured by longterm employment and earnings, along with placement into quality jobs with benefits. Specific services for each type of activity provided under JTPA are: \n Title II-A Adult and Title II-C Youth Programs--Target disadvantaged adults and youth. Over 8,090 clients received training in F.Y. 1996. \n Title II-A Education Coordination and Grants Program-Provides education and support services to complement occupational training. Examples of services include remediation and counseling. Administered by the Georgia Department of Education, the program provided education services to 1,779 participants during F.Y. 1996. \n Title II-A Older Workers Program--Provides year-round training activities for economically disadvantaged persons 55 years of age or older. During the 1995-1996 program year, the Older Workers Program served 365 clients through a grant awarded on a competitive basis to a non-profit service provider. \n Title II-B Summer Youth Employment and Training Program-Provides training and jobs during the summer months to economically disadvantaged youth. More than 5,200 youth were enrolled in the Title II-B summer program. Enrollment for the 1995-1996 program year showed a decrease over the previous year, largely due to lack of available funding. \n Title III Worker Adjustment Program--Provides training and employment assistance to workers who have lost their jobs as a result oflayoffs, plant closings or economic conditions. A total ofl7,054 Georgians were served during the 1995-1996 program year, an increase from the previous year's enrollment of 11,669. \n Jobs Corps--The department provides training and placement for the federal Jobs Corps Program. This nationwide program offers training to economically disadvantaged young people between the ages of 16 and 24. \n \n331 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR -- Strategies and Services \n \nVETERANS PROGRAMS The department provides intensive \nservices to service-connected disabled veterans, Vietnam veterans and veterans who have recently ended their military service, Through its Transition Assistance Program, the department conducts workshops for personnel making the transition from military installations. In the workshops, participants learn job-seeking skills to enable them to compete more effectively in the civilian labor market. Approximately 80,190 participants were served in F.Y. 1996. The Georgia Military Transition Council, chaired by the Commissioner of Labor, further assists personnel transitioning out ofthe military. \nThrough its efforts targeted at local veterans and disabled veterans, the department in F.Y. 1996 found job openings for 20,740 Georgia veterans and placed 13,671 injobs. \nLABOR MARKET INFORMATION Labor market information is \ngathered, analyzed and distributed by the department's Labor Information and Economic Development Division to provide users with data on employment, unemployment, worker availability, wages and employment trends. Users of the information include individual workers, employers, economic developers, employment and training program planners, economists, researchers and economic forecasters. Much ofthe information is produced in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides key indicators ofthe state's economic health. Labor market and other economic information is also critical to businesses that are considering locating or expanding facilities in Georgia. \n \nPresently under development by the agency's Labor Information Division is a self-service computer system called Georgia JobGuide, designed to aid customers ofthe department and other workforce development agencies in designing effective self-directed job search programs. It uses touch-screen technology and colorful graphics to access a wide range of information about the labor market, including wages, local job market conditions, employment outlook, occupations that might use the individual's skills, and listings of potential employers. In addition, the system will link to the Georgia Career Information System and eventually to the department's listings of job openings. The system is expected to be available in mid- to late- 1997. \nSAFETY INSPECTIONS The responsibility for promoting \nand protecting the safety of Georgia's citizens is carried out through a variety of state mandates regulated by the department's Safety Engineering Section. Through the levying of inspection fees, inspection and regulatory services provided by this section are selfsupporting and require no appropriation from general state revenues. \nThe safety program includes the regulation of boilers, pressure vessels, elevators, escalators, high voltage lines, safety glass, and amusement park and carnival rides. These inspections include existing equipment as well as new installations, and during F.Y. 1996, a total of61,000 safety inspections were conducted. The Public Employee Hazardous Chemical Protection and Right-to-Know Program is also administered by this section. \n \nCHILD LABOR SECTION Established by law, the Child Labor \nSection, the only department program that relies solely on state appropriated funds, provides for the administration of child labor laws. Preventive work focuses on educating minors and employers about current laws and reviewing employment certificates (commonly called work permits) for minors under the age of 18. The program processed 59,870 employment certificates in F.Y. 1996. When a permit reveals a law violation or a complaint is received, a UI inspector, trained in child labor laws, makes a site visit. Inspections focus on violations with respect to hazardous occupations, hours of work and age of minor. Although there are both state and federal child labor laws, employers are bound to the more stringent laws, regardless of their origin. Inspectors report violations of federal law to the U.S. Department of Labor for the appropriate action. State law does not permit the assessment of fines against employers for violations, nor does it bar serious violators from hiring, and putting at risk, more minors. \nCOMMISSION ON WOMEN The Georgia Commission on \nWomen, administratively attached to the department, addresses women's issues through hearings, conferences, programs and special events. It advises women on the laws of Georgia, makes recommendations to the executive branch and the Legislature, and collaborates with state agencies and organizations. \n \n332 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LABOR \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nLABOR MARKET INFORMATION PURPOSE: Gather, analyze and distribute a wide range of statistics and information to employers, job seekers, planners and the general public. \nGOALS Meet Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) requirements.

The Attorney General is the chieflegal officer of the state and is a constitutional officer elected to a four-year term in the same general election as the governor. \nDUTIES The Department of Law represents the state in civil and \ncriminal actions, in all capital felony actions before the Georgia Supreme Court, in all actions before the U.S. Supreme Court, and in all actions against a district attorney. It is the duty of the Attorney General to provide opinions on any question of law involving the interests of the state or duties of any department. The Department of Law also prepares and reviews contracts and other legal documents in which the state is interested and drafts proposed legislation or rules and regulations for state agencies. The department investigates the conduct of state agencies, officials, or employees, and firms or corporations for violations in their dealings with the state. The Attorney General and his staffare \n \nauthorized to prosecute civil and criminal actions to recover loss, damage or injury to the state. \nThe department also operates the State Law Library, a noncirculating law and legislative reference library for use by state government officials, employees, and the general public. \nDEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION To accomplish its duties, the department is organized into \na department head's office, five law practicing divisions, and an administrative division. The five law practicing divisions provide a full range of legal services to designated state departments, authorities and agencies. The Law Department is reimbursed by the state agencies for litigation expenses incurred, such as court costs, witness fees, filing costs and reporting costs. \nAUTHORITY Article 5, Section 3, Paragraph 1, Georgia Constitution; \nTitle 45, Chapter 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n341 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW \n-Strategies and Services \n \nIn our complex society, virtually every statutory change, new program initiative, as well as many executive decisions result in the need for legal representation. The issues that challenge our society are often issues which require some form of governmental participation. In the last few years, the number and complexity of these issues have increased substantially. It is the role of the Department of Law to serve as the attorney for the state agencies in the executive branch of government, providing representation and legal services. With the increasing number of issues requiring legal services, the Department of Law's workload has increased both in volume and complexity. During F.Y. 1996, the department received 9,318 requests for its legal services, an increase of one percent over the previous year. Requests for assistance include such legal services as legal representation in administrative hearings, cases and potential cases, acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters and legal advice or opinions. To better meet the growing demands for legal service, the department, in December 1995, reorganized from ten to five units. \nSTATE HEALTH CARE FRAUD CONTROL UNIT \nDuring F.Y. 1995, in compliance with sections of the Social Security Act, as amended by the MedicareMedicaid Anti-Fraud and Abuse Amendments of 1977 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the State Health Care Fraud Control Unit (SHCFCU) was created. Through the cooperative effort of the participating agencies, it is composed of personnel from the Department of Audits, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (G.B.I.) and the Department of Law. The G.B.I. is the federal grant manager for the SHCFCU and is responsible for the budget and the fiscal management ofthe unit. In support ofthis effort, the \n \nDepartment of Law organized a Medicaid Fraud Control Unit consisting of five prosecuting attorneys, one paralegal and two legal secretaries. The unit was created to: \n Serve the public.  Uphold and enforce the law.  Investigate and prosecute health care fraud.  Protect vulnerable patients from abuse. From March 1995 to August 1996, the unit received 229 referrals. Of these, the unit has closed 84, convicted three, closed 19 due to lack of prosecutorial merit, referred 52 to the Department of Medical Assistance for civil recovery, and merged 10 with other files. The unit has convicted 10 defendants and 14 more are awaiting trial. The unit has recovered and paid $2.7 million to Department of Medical Assistance and $15 million to the federal government. In addition, fmes of five million dollars are payable to either federal government, Department of Medical Assistance, or Cobb County. \nCONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT \nBeginning July 1, 1995, the Department of Law -has taken over primary responsibility for the class action law suit Cason v. Seckinger. The lawsuit was originally filed in 1984. The lawsuit challenged the general conditions of confmement, including allegations of overcrowding, inadequate medical care, unsafe structure and physical conditions, disciplinary due process violations, fire and safety violations and other deficiencies in administration and programming. In 1992, the case was still pending although many issues had been resolved. With publicity involving allegations of sexual misconduct, the complaint was amended which modified the class to include all women inmates in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Since 1992, this action \n \nhas involved an enormous effort on the part of the Department of Corrections and required additional staff, the employment of experts by the court, and multiple lawyers on both the plaintiffs and defendants side. An outside Special Assistant Attorney General was retained to handle the case. Effective July 1, 1995, as a cost avoidance action, the department brought this case \"in-house\" and activated a team composed of three attorneys, one paralegal and one legal secretary for the purpose of defending the state in this class action. Currently, the department is awaiting a trial date on several significant issues. \nTAX AND REVENUE MATTERS The James B. Beam Distilling \nCompany v. Georgia case recently has been concluded. The James Beam Company sought a refund of $2.2 million plus interest. The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the 1938 version of O.C.G.A. Section 3-4-60 was unconstitutional, but held that its decision would apply prospectively only. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded for further proceedings. On remand, summary judgement was entered for the state, denying a refund. The Beam Company appealed, and the Georgia Supreme Court held that no refunds were due. The U.S. Supreme court supported this decision. In addition, there are two similar cases. The Seagrams case in which the plaintiffwas seeking a refund of $19.4 million plus interest and the Heubelin case in which the plaintiff was seeking a refund of $8.2 million plus interest. In both cases, the refund claim was denied based on the state's motion for summary judgement. \nCONSUMER INTEREST The Attorney General's office has \nhandled several telemarketing fraud cases. In one case, the department sought and won an injunction and monetary rewards on behalf of the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs \n \n342 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF LAW -- Strategies and Services \n \nagainst seven Georgia based fraudulent telemarketing operations. These companies were promising cash rewards and prizes to out of state consumers, usually the elderly. In another case, the department obtained an injunction against Sonic Communications for illegally switching customers' long distance providers (\"slamming\"). Sonic had generated $13.5 million in four months by slamming customers. \nWORKLOAD OVERVIEW The key to workload measurement \nin the department is the \"control slip\". As litigation, potential litigation matters, and transactions arrive in the law practicing divisions, each is assigned a control slip number. As the litigation or transaction is completed the control slip is closed. Thus, the number of control slips received, closed, and pending at the end of a fiscal year is a reliable indicator of the workload for a specific period. \nTo assist in identifying potential \n \nand accomplished work, control slips are classified into several subgroups. Those control slips which represent cases, administrative hearings or potential litigation matters, are referred to as litigation matters. All other requirements such as the acquisition of real property, bonded indebtedness matters, and requests for legal advice or opinions are classified as transactions. During the period F.Y. 1990 - 1996, the receipt of litigation matters increased by 36.5%, the average workload of attorneys increased from 107 to 121 litigation and transactional matters, and pending matters have increased by 44.7%. \nMany changes have occurred to cause an increase in attorney workload. The reasons are: \n Complexity of the case.  Changes in the law.  Increasing number of prisoners. The changes affect many areas in the department but especially the Labor and Employment Section and the Criminal Justice Section. \n \nBetweenF.Y. 1995 andF.Y. 1996, the Labor and Employment Section has experienced a 20% increase in discrimination lawsuit. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 has affected every aspect of preparing a case - discovery, investigation and trial preparation. The new guidelines allow for compensatory damages and the right to jury trial which both impact the complexity and time spent on a case. \nNew case time lines and minimum sentencing requirements are influencing the increasing caseload in the Criminal Justice Section. Even though the number of inmates on death row have not increased, new guidelines are impacting case management. In addition, new sentencing guidelines are adding court appearances and longer sentences for prisoners. As of August 1996, there are 40,000 sentenced offenders. Due to a larger population and longer sentences, the likelihood of a lawsuits will increase. The lawsuits are defended by the department. \n \nWorkload Measurements \n \nFY 1994 Actual \n \nFY 1995 Actual \n \nCases, Administrative Hearings and Potential Litigation: \n \nReceipts \n \n5,177 \n \n5,775 \n \nClosed \n \n4,297 \n \n4,273 \n \nEnding Balance \n \n9,669 \n \n11,207 \n \nFY 1996 Actual \n5,564 See Note \n9,907 \n \nTransactions: Receipts Closed \nEnding Balance \n \n3,285 3,083 1,164 \n \n3,630 3,597 1,179 \n \n3,761 3,589 1,368 \n \nTotal Receipts Total Closed Total Ending Balance \n \n8,462 7,380 10,833 \n \n9,405 7,870 12,386 \n \n9,325 3,589 11,275 \n \nFY 1997 Budgeted \n \nFY 1998 Recommended \n \n6,020 4,350 9,500 \n \n5,500 4,325 10,675 \n \n3,700 3,700 1,283 \n9,720 8,050 10,783 \n \n3,710 3,680 1,313 \n9,210 8,005 , 11,988 \n \nNote: On December 1, 1995, the Department of Law reorganized from ten to five functional divisions.

In Fiscal Year 1996, roughly one in six Georgians, or 16 percent of the state's population, was covered by Medicaid. \nThe Governor's recommendation reflects $37 million in savings in state funds from various cost saving and cost containment initiatives. These initiatives are centered on managed care and fraud and abuse. The initiatives also include changes in various reimbursement methodologies to align provider reimbursement with cost or to be consistent with other southeastern states. \nIt is important to note that the proposed initiatives do not reduce eligibility or the amount of services provided. Because of the nature of the Medicaid program, savings can come only from the following areas: limitations on eligibility; reductions in the level of benefIts directly provided to recipients; and/or changes in the reimbursement structure. The Fiscal Year 1998 budget derives part of the $37 million in savings from the latter option. In addition, the Fiscal Year 1998 budget utilizes enhanced fraud and abuse initiatives to control inappropriate and unnecessary utilization of Medicaid services. These two mechanisms have the least impact on direct services to recipients. \nThe following summarizes the $37 million in redirection savings: \n $15,116,540 in state fund savings from enhanced fraud and abuse initiatives. The Governor recommends that the department focus its fraud and abuse efforts within the psychology, psychiatry, home health, durable medical equipment, nursing home, and Medicare crossover programs. \n $11,113,960 in state fund savings from changes in reimbursement methodologies for inpatient hospital ($4,119,160) and physicians ($6,994,800). The Governor recommends that inpatient hospital services be reimbursed based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) methodology. In addition, the Governor recommends that physician reimbursement be based on 87 percent ofthe Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS). \n $10,758,949 in state fund savings from the statewide \n \nRecommended Appropriation as a Percentage of the State Budget \n10.5% \nexpansion of managed care initiatives which include the pilot Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Georgia Better Health Care (GBHC). The Governor recommends the expansion ofthe GBHC program to 139,000 individuals in 56 counties (Southeast, Central and Northeast Georgia; Athens; and, Columbus areas). \n The Governor recommends that Indigent Care Trust Funds be used to: expand the Children 1st program statewide; fund teen pregnancy prevention services in support of welfare reform; and, fund the Policy Council for Children and Families. As required by Indigent Care Trust Fund rules, these new initiatives focus on prevention and indigent care. In addition, funding for these initiatives does not supplant existing program funding. \n In addition, the Governor is continuing his commitment to developing less costly community alternatives to institutionalization. The Governor recommends that Indigent Care Trust Funds also be used to: increase slots for Medicaid (2,061 slots) and non-Medicaid (932 slots) eligible individuals under the Community Care Waiver program; and, increase slots for the Independent Care Waiver program (30 slots). \nThe Governor's recommended savings are offset by an increase of $35 million in state funds to continue providing payments of medical services for Georgia's Medicaid eligible population. The departmental impact of the recommended savings, the growth in Medicaid benefIts, and transfers from the Department of Human Resources is a net increase of$7.7 million in state funds. \n \n347 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \n, \nBudget Classes/Fund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Audit Contracts Medicaid Benefits \nTotal Funds \n \nF.Y.1995 Expenditures \n12,756,698 4,427,130 \n121,203 76,194 768,433 64,884,206 21,929,026 376,117 814,585 3,443,267,083 \n3,549,420,675 \n \nF.Y.1996 Expenditures \n13,474,432 5,569,464 \n176,861 39,472 765,370 66,928,584 25,242,143 424,231 918,317 3,493,159,908 \n3,606,698,782 \n \nF.Y.1997 Current Budget \n \nF.Y. 1998 Agency Requests \n \nRedirection \n \nLevel \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n15,544,436 5,994,250 \n188,400 39,500 765,380 108,820,859 26,169,000 425,000 772,500 3,581,020,602 \n \n15,704,556 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,546,176,643 \n \n51,46~,804 \n \n15,704,556 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,597,643,447 \n \n3,739,739,927 3,720,710,856 \n \n51,466,804 3,772,177,660 \n \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds \nTotal Federal \u0026 Other Funds \nTotal State Funds \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \n2,219,875,758 112,144,034 \n2,332,019,792 \n1,217,400,883 \n306 4 \n \n2,244,271,890 104,343,449 \n2,348,615,339 \n1,258,083,443 \n306 4 \n \n2,320,332,054 107,665,807 \n2,427,997,861 \n1,311,742,066 \n306 4 \n \n2,261,260,169 116,185,544 \n2,377,445,713 \n1,343,265,143 \n306 4 \n \n31,466,804 \n31,466,804 20,000,000 \n \n2,292,726,973 116,185,544 \n2,408,912,517 \n1,363,265,143 \n306 4 \n \nMedicaid Benefits \n \nby Category of Service \n \nOther Care \n \nFY 1996 \n \n17% \n \nDrugs 10% \n \nHospitals 34% \n \nMedicaid Benefit Expenditures \n \nby Aid Category \n \nAFDCAdults 17% \n \nFY 1996 \n \nAged 18% \n \nChilden 22% \n \nBlind 6% \n \nNursing Homes 25% \nNote: These charts do not include the Indigent Care Trust Fund \n348 \n \nDisabled 37% \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nFinancial Summary \n \nF.Y.1998 Governor's Recommendations \n \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Audit Contracts Medicaid Benefits \n \nAdjusted Base \n15,700,652 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,598,428,720 \n \nRedirection Level \n \nFunds \n \nTo Redirect \n \nAdditions \n \n(95,186,436) \n \n90,066,907 \n \nRedirection Totals \n15,700,652 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,593,309,191 \n \nEnhancements \n \nTotals \n \n15,700,652 5,314,019 \n188,400 51,500 765,380 108,584,768 42,678,090 475,000 772,500 3,593,309,191 \n \nTotal Funds \nLess Federal \u0026 Other Funds: Federal Funds Other Funds Total Federal \u0026 Other Funds Total State Funds \nPositions Motor Vehicles \n \n3,772,959,029 \n2,335,285,287 116,185,544 \n2,451,470,831 1,321,488,198 \n306 4 \n \n(95,186,436) \n(58,196,987) (58,196,987) (36,989,449) \n \n90,066,907 3,767,839,500 \n \n55,066,907 \n55,066,907 35,000,000 \n \n2,332,155,207 116,185,544 \n2,448,340,751 1,319,498,749 \n306 4 \n \n3,767,839,500 \n2,332,155,207 116,185,544 \n2,448,340,751 1,319,498,749 \n306 4 \n \n$2,700 \n \nAverage Cost per Recipient FY 1990 - 1996 \n \n$2,600 \n \n$2,500 \n \n$2,400 \n \n$2,300 \n \n$2,200 \n \n$2,100 \n \n$2,000 \n \n1990 \n \n1991 \n \n1992 \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \nNote: These charts do not include the Indigent Care Trust Fund \n \n$2,646 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n349 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nF.Y. 1998 Budget Summary \n \nADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT BUDGET \n \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS \n \nF.Y. 1997 STATE APPROPRIATIONS (Includes $148,828,880 in the Indigent Care Trust Fund) 1.

The mission of the department is to provide prompt access to quality health care in the most appropriate setting. \nMedicaid is funded by state and federal dollars. The largest share of Medicaid costs is paid by the federal government. Georgia's Medicaid program receives various levels of federal reimbursement for different services and functions. For example, the federal government pays 90 percent of the cost of family planning services and 62 percent for most other benefits. Computer costs are 75 percent federally funded, and most other administrative costs receive 50 percent federal funding. \nADMINISTRATION Administrative costs represent less than three percent of \ntotal expenditures. Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is the fiscal agent for the Georgia Medicaid program. While DMA is responsible for the administration of the program, EDS processes claims and maintains reporting systems which enable the department to monitor the program and enforce its policies and procedures. Working with EDS, the department processes over 53 million claims annually. \nThe department works to ensure accurate and appropriate payment for services using a claims processing system with an intricate series of computer edits and audits. Program integrity and compliance with state and federal regulations are monitored through reviews, audits and investigations. When overpayments are identified, the department makes collections. Other measures such as precertification and prior approval have been instituted to prevent payment for services which are not appropriate or medically necessary. In F.Y. 1996, collections and measurable cost avoidance saved over $830 million. \nThe national trend in state Medicaid agencies is for contracting and capitation for services. This allows these agencies to control expenditures and to more accurately project budgets. DMA intends to seek ways in which it can enter into contracts for services wherever possible to contain costs. \nMedicaid coverage is available for certain people based on eligibility requirements, such as income, resources or assets, as specified by law. Some categories of eligibility are mandated by the federal government while others are optional. The department contracts with the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) to determine eligibility. DMA works with DHR's Division of Family and Children Services to see that eligibility determinations are accurate. Georgia maintains an error rate below the federal tolerance level of three percent. \n \nBENEFITS Making health care available and accessible to medically \nindigent Georgians is the focus of the state's Medicaid program. In Fiscal Year 1996, the department paid for health care services to 1.2 million individuals, at a cost of $3.5 billion. A broad array of services is available to address the needs of those covered by the program. Reimbursement for physician, pharmacy, hospital and nursing facility services account for almost 83 percent of benefit expenditures. \nMedicaid pays for inpatient hospital services when services cannot be provided on an outpatient basis. Most inpatient hospital stays must be certified prior to admission. Services are currently reimbursed at a flat rate for each admission; however, beginning in F.Y. 1998, the department proposes implementing a new hospital reimbursement methodology which will make payment for services variable based on procedure codes. Reimbursement for outpatient hospital services is based primarily on reasonable costs. Hospital reimbursement accounts for approximately 34 percent of benefit expenditures. \nMedicaid pays for care in institutional settings for recipients who are unable to remain at home or in the community. Nursing facilities are reimbursed using per diem rates calculated from standardized cost reports. Certification is required prior to admission to determine the level of care needed by the recipient. The department contracts with the Georgia Medical Care Foundation to perform this function. Reimbursement for nursing facility services accounts for approximately 25 percent of benefit expenditures. \nMedicaid pays for services provided by licensed physicians. More than 84 percent of all recipients visited physicians last year. The department uses a statewide maximum allowable fee schedule for physician services. Physician services account for close to 14 percent of benefit expenditures. \nDrugs requiring a prescription, insulin, diabetic supplies and certain nonprescription drugs are covered by Medicaid. A few drugs require prior approval. The department contracts with the Georgia Pharmacy Foundation to review and process requests for prior approval. Reimbursement for drugs accounts for 10 percent of benefit expenditures. \nA variety of other services account for 17 percent of benefit expenditures. Among the services in this category are health check screenings for children under 21, dental services, mental health services, transportation, home health and laboratory services. \nAUTHORITY Title XIX of the Social Security Act; Title 49-4, Official \nCode of Georgia Annotated. \n \n352 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nStrategies and Services \n \nIn Fiscal Year 1997, it is \n \nprojected that Medicaid will pay for \n \nhealth care services to 1.2 million \n \nindividuals. Payments for services are \n \nprojected to total $3.2 billion or \n \napproximately $2,677 per recipient. \n \nSince Fiscal Year 1980, the number of \n \nrecipients has risen 189 percent, \n \nlargely due to eligibility expansions \n \nmandated by the federal government. \n \nHowever, the department is now \n \nexperiencing a decline in the rate of \n \ngrowth in recipients (2.9 percent \n \nprojected for Fiscal Year 1997). \n \nWhile the program was \n \nexperiencing 10 to 15 percent annual \n \nincreases in benefit expenditures \n \nduring the late 1980s and the early \n \n1990s, the state is now seeing a \n \nslowdown in the rate of growth in \n \nbenefits. In fact, Fiscal Year 1996 per \n \nrecipient costs decreased for the first \n \ntime this decade by 1.1 percent. With \n \nredirection and cost containment, the \n \nFiscal Year 1997 budget reflected a \n \n2.24 percent decrease over Fiscal Year \n \n1996. \n \nThe Governor's \n \nrecommendation for Fiscal Year 1998 \n \nrepresents a flat-lined budget when \n \ncompared to Fiscal Year 1997. \n \nAggressive management programs \n \nand a sharpened focus on cost \n \ncontainment are largely responsible for \n \nholding down the program costs. The \n \ndepartment is pursuing managed care \n \noptions through two pilot programs: \n \nGeorgia Better Health Care and Health \n \nMaintenance Organizations (HMO). \n \nThe goals of these programs are to \n \nreduce Medicaid expenditures, reduce \n \ninappropriate utilization of medical \n \nservices, improve access to \n \nappropriate care, encourage and \n \nenhance continuity of care, and \n \nincrease the use of preventive services \n \nsuch as immunizations and health \n \ncheck screenings for children. \n \nGEORGIA BEITER HEALTH CARE \nGeorgia Better Health Care (GBHC) is a Medicaid primary care \n \ncase management program currently operating in 51 counties. GBHC is a pilot program authorized through federal waiver of certain Medicaid regulations. The program contracts with primary care physicians and providers to deliver, coordinate and manage the health care of Medicaid recipients. \nEnrollment in the GBHC program is mandatory for all Medicaid recipients living within the target counties, except for recipients residing in counties where the pilot Health Maintenance Organization program has been implemented. Recipients in these counties have the option to choose between the pilot HMO and the GBHC programs. The department does not require that individuals residing in nursing facilities, personal care homes, mental hospitals, and other domiciliary facilities enroll in the GBHC program. Additionally, the department has excluded recipients with short-term Medicaid enrollment from the GBHC program. Each eligible GBHC recipient is linked to a primary care provider who is responsible for providing primary care services and authorizing specialty care and inpatient admissions. The primary care case managers receive a monthly case management fee of $3.00 per recipient for coordinating the recipient's health care services, regardless of whether the recipient is seen by the provider. When other services are provided, the regular feefor-service reimbursement applies. \nThe Georgia pilot primary care case management program began in October 1993 in seven counties. Currently, almost 1, 100 primary care providers deliver and manage care for approximately 368,636 Medicaid recipients in 51 counties. During Fiscal Year 1997, the department will expand the primary care case management program to 229,000 recipients in 51 counties. The department will complete the statewide \n \nexpansion of the Georgia Better Health Care in Fiscal Year 1998. During Fiscal Year 1998, the department will expand the Georgia Better Health Care program to 139,000 individuals in 56 counties. These fmal 56 counties include: Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Ben Hill, Brantley, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Irwin, Jeff Davis, Long, Montgomery, Pierce, Tattnall, Toombs, Ware, Wayne in Southeast Georgia; Hancock, Jasper, Morgan, Putnam, and Wilkinson in Central Georgia; Clarke, Greene, Jackson, Madison, Oconee, Oglethorpe, and Taliaferro in the Athens area; Chatahochee, Harris, Lamar, Marion, Meriwether, Muscogee, Pike, ScWey, Stewart, Talbot, Taylor, Troup, Upson, and Webster in the Columbus area; and, Banks, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Harty, Lumpkin, Pickens, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White in Northeast Georgia. \n \nHEALTH \n \nMAINTENANCE \n \nORGANIZATIONS \n \nThe department has implemented \n \na pilot managed care program in five \n \nmetro Atlanta counties (Clayton, \n \nCobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett). \n \nThe department has contracted with a \n \nHealth Maintenance Organization to \n \nprovide a comprehensive array of \n \nhealth care services to Medicaid \n \neligibles who choose to enroll. The \n \ndepartment intends to offer additional \n \ncontracts to every state licensed HMO \n \nthat applies for a contract and meets \n \nthe state's standards for participation. \n \nThe pilot HMO program focuses \n \non the needs of women, particularly \n \npregnant women and their children. \n \nFinancing incentives are included to \n \nencourage HMO contractors to achieve \n \nmuch higher Health Check screenings \n \nand immunization rates than are \n \ncurrently experienced in the regular, \n \nfee-for-service program. In addition, \n \nHMOs are required to demonstrate \n \nthat they have made a good faith effort \n \nto encourage Medicaid enrollees to \n \n353 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE -- Strategies and Services \n \nparticipate in their health plan for preventive health care, rather than waiting until they have an acute need for medical services. \nHMOs are compensated with a lump sum per member per month capitation rate developed by an actuarial firm. The rates are age and gender specific by aid category. All participating HMOs are required to provide the same basic Medicaid services and encouraged to provide expanded services. All HMOs are paid the same rates, which represents less than 100 percent of the expected fee-for-service expenditures for an equivalent population. In Fiscal Year 1996, 3,500 Medicaid eligibles enrolled in the voluntary HMO pilot program. In Fiscal Year 1997, the department will expand the HMO pilot program to include Savannah, Macon, and Augusta. Statewide expansion of the HMO pilot will continue through Fiscal Year 1998. Future HMO \n \nexpansion sites will be selected based on existing HMO market penetration. \n \nMEDICAID FRAUD INITIATIVES \n \nThe department has been actively \n \npursing potential fraud and abuse \n \nwithin the Medicaid program. In \n \nFiscal Year 1996, the department's \n \nOffice of Investigations and \n \nCompliance investigated more than \n \n300 fraud cases which resulted in 27 \n \nfraud convictions worth more than \n \n$3.0 million. Additionally, the efforts \n \nof the Fraud and Abuse Unit, which \n \nwas established in 1995, has resulted \n \nin six convictions and thirteen \n \nindictments awaiting trial. The Fraud \n \nand Abuse Unit represents a \n \ncollaborative effort between the \n \nDepartment of Medical Assistance, the \n \nLaw Department, the GBI and the \n \nDepartment of Audits. At present, the \n \nDepartment of Medical Assistance has \n \napproximately \n \n400 \n \nactive \n \ninvestigations of fraud and abuse. \n \nFinally, the department has targeted specific areas for fraud and abuse investigations. These areas include the non-emergency transportation (NET), durable medical equipment, psychology, psychiatry and Medicare crossover programs. The department anticipates even greater Medicaid savings resulting from enhanced fraud and abuse initiatives in both Fiscal Year 1997 and 1998. The new initiatives include the tracking of claims to detect unusual billing and claims submission practices by providers; pre-processing of claims to ensure appropriateness of billing; and, enhanced review of programs and providers that have significant increases in claims or payments. The Governor's Fiscal Year 1998 recommendation includes $15.1 million in state fund savings. \n \n1,400,000,000 \n \nMedicaid Growth \nAverage Cost per Recipient Declines \n \n1,200,000,000 \n \n; 1,000,000,000 \nt~ 800,000,000 \n~ \n! 600,000,000 \n! ::~IIIUIIIII .. \n \n1980 19821984 1986 1988 1990 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n__ L~ \n \nSt_ate_Fun_ds \n \n _ _R_ec_iP_ien_t_ s _ \n \n1,200,000 1,000,000 \n \n354 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nMANAGED CARE PROGRAMS \nPURPOSE: Provide a more cost effective health care benefit for Georgians eligible for Medicaid by transitioning delivery of health care services to Medicaid recipients from fee for service to managed care delivery systems. \nGOALS Improve access to appropriate care.

The F.Y. 1998 recommended assessment to be levied on all state agency authorized positions for providing a base level of statewide services is $137 per authorized position. \n \n363 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nRoles and Responsibilities \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration is the state's central agency for assisting state agencies in recruiting qualified individuals for positions within the executive branch of stat~ government. The Merit System is also the state's central recordkeeping agency for state employee data, and the central means of monitoring state personnel practices. \nThe enactment of S.B. 635, passed during the 1996 Legislature, decentralizes the state's personnel administration system, allowing agencies the freedom to assume from the Merit System the responsibility for a variety of personnel recruitment and administration duties. The Merit System remains responsible for performing these duties for agencies electing not to assume them. \n \nEMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Employee Benefits Division administers the \nemployee State Health Plan and the Flexible Benefits Plan. These plans include benefits such as fee-for-service and HMO health coverage, behavioral health coverage, pharmacy coverage, group term and dependent life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and dental, legal, medical and child care spending accounts. The division is involved in benefit design and communcation, maintaining employee eligibility records, interacting with agency benefit coordinators, reviewing and administering claims, monitoring contractors providing insured benefit products, and review of plan utilization. \n \nCOMMISSIONER'S OFFICE The Commissioner's Office provides overall leadership, \ndirection and management of the agency to include the areas of legal services, public relations and information services, policy analysis and development, budget administration, strategic planning and coordination of the agency's quality work initiative. This division also provides: hearings of employee appeals ofadverse actions; research, counseling and education in equal employment opportunity and diversity; evaluation, counseling, mediation and education in management/employee relations; and management of the state's employee recognition, charitable contribution and employee suggestion programs. \nTRAINING AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT The Training and Staff Development Division assesses \nand assists agencies in determining employeejob-related skills needs, develops and delivers in conjunction with state agencies performance management training for new supervisors, assists departments in meeting training objectives by designing and/or conducting train-the-trainer sessions, and manages and conducts training courses for the Certified Manager Program. The Division fulfills its duties through several means including the oversight and coordination of the use of : a training center, teleconferencing facilities and equipment, satellite downlink facilities and equipment, and an education and training resource library. \nCOMPENSATION AND STAFFING The Compensation and Staffmg Division offers a \nvariety of services to assist agencies regarding employee compensation, work studies, applicant screening and evaluation, and recruitment. These services are usually in the form of labor market research and analysis, development and implementation of equitable pay and reward systems, general and specialized employee recruitment, distribution of job information, design and administration of written and nonWritten tests, and processing and evaluating job applications as requested. \n \nINTERNAL ADMINISTRATION The Internal Administation Division furnishes \nadministrative, technological and accounting services to other Merit System divisions and administers the State Deferred Compensation Plan. These services include human resource management, payroll, purchasing, mailroom operations, contract services, data entry, and mainframe and personal computer systems support. The division also provides human resource services to state agencies through administration of the payroll audit and statewide drug testing functions. The division's duties also entail the receipt and deposit of health, flexible benefits and deferred compensation revenue; management of funds for the State Health Benefit plan in order to provide for claims payments while maximizing investment income; monitoring of contractor compliance and performance; provider billing and claims audits; and the investment and distribution of deferred compensation funds. \nPERSONNEL PRACTICES EVALUATION AND AUDIT The Personnel Practices Evaluation and Audit Division \nperforms evaluations and audits of state agency personnel practices as required in S.B. 635, as passed in the 1996 Legislature, and in accordance with guidelines established by the Personnel Advisory Council. The division's duties include developing and maintaining model standards and processes which agencies may use in the course of their personnel administration activities. The division audits state agency personnel programs and practices for conformity and compliance with recognized professional practices and legal requirements. \nAUTHORITY Titles 20 and 45 of the Official Code of Georgia \nAnnotated. \n \n364 \n \n MERIT SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Merit System of Personnel Administration utilizes an assortment of programs and services in monitoring and coordinating personnel administration and benefit plans within state government. The recent enactment of S.B. 635 is significantly reshaping the role of the Merit System and state agencies in the selection, hiring and management of personnel. Agencies now are free to assume certain personnel administration activities from the Merit System if they choose, and all new state employees hired are exempt from the classified service and its administrative and procedural restrictions. As a consequence, the Merit System is moving from its traditional role as the central personnel administration authority for state agencies, to one of consultation, technical support and review. Examples of the department's strategies and services regarding addressing this new role appear below. The highlighted offerings include: changes in the department's organization concerning its revised mission under S.B. 635; development of new products and services to accommodate state agency needs; exploration and use of technological applications to improve the department's effectiveness and efficiency; cost saving initiatives that have been or will be incorporated in the State Health Benefit Plan's strategy to efficiently provide quality health services; and redesign of the state's human resource computer system. \nORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES The department, to definitively \nsatisfy the needs and expectations of agencies resulting from S.B. 635, is adopting an organizational design and reconfiguring its services so it can become increasingly responsive and flexible in the wake of these and other continuing changes in the state's personnel administration environment. The structure chosen is intended to \n \nmeet the goals of responsiveness and flexibility to changes in customer needs, while providing the types of customized services necessary to assist agencies in achieving their business objectives. The Merit System's organizational changes include: \n Consolidation of two divisions into one division. This new division, the Compensation and Staffmg Division, consists of two units, the Office of Technical Assistance and Personnel Services, and the Office of Program Development and Administration. The Office of Technical Assistance and Personnel Services will provide direct personnel services and technical assistance to agencies as requested in the areas of recruitment, applicant screening, test administration, job evaluation, and position allocation to name a few. The Office of Program Development and Administration will be the department's development and consulting arm, supplying expertise and guidance to agencies in developing and implementing more effective personnel programs and processes. \n Plans to establish the Personnel Practices Evaluation and Audit unit using resources presently within the department. This unit will be responsible for auditing state agency personnel practices as required by S.B.635. \n Combining other divisions to lessen the department's number of administrative levels. In this case, merging the Health Benefit Services and Flexible Benefits divisions to form the Employee Benefits Division, and uniting the Accounting \u0026 Audits and Administration \u0026 Systems divisions to create the Internal Administration Division. \nNEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Merit System, as an \n. outgrowth of S.B. 635, has made new product development one of its major strategic goals. These new products \n \nand services will range from customized products created at an agency's request to development and implementation of statewide initiatives such as the GeorgiaGain performance management system. Among the new products currently being developed in this setting are training courses which educate managers and employees on the principles of continuous quality improvement, and implementation of the \"discipline without punishment\" approach to employee management to current and future interested agencies. The department is working closely with state managers in perfecting these and other products and services. The training courses mentioned are in support of the Quality Service Georgia statewide initiative, whereas the \"discipline without punishment\" policy development and implementation project evolved from certain state agencies desiring an alternative approach to present practices of disciplining employees. \n \nAPPLICATION OF \n \nTECHNOLOGY \n \nThe Merit System, searching for \n \nfaster, more efficient means of \n \nperforming and delivering its products \n \nand services, is broadening its use and \n \napplication of technology wherever \n \npossible. \n \nThe Training and \n \nOrganizational Development Division, \n \nthrough the help of grants from the \n \nGeorgia Statewide Academic and \n \nMedical System communications \n \nnetwork, has begun using \n \nteledistance/teleconferencin g \n \ntechnology to conduct training \n \nconferences and seminars in an \n \nattempt to effectively and efficiently \n \nmake these offerings conveniently \n \navailable to a greater number Of state \n \nemployees throughout the state.

There are approximately 423 stream segments in Georgia that require the development ofTMDL standards. A Federal Court issued a ruling againstthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordering the establishment of TMDLs for Georgia's streams within five years. EPA has appealed the ruling, but the outcome of the appeal is unknown. Therefore, the state must move forward with plans to establish TMDLs within the five year time period. \nAt least 133 of the 423 stream segments requiring development of TMDL standards have degraded fish populations. The Environmental Protection Division and the Wildlife Resources Division are working in conjunction to identitY the cause ofthe degraded fish population and determine a way to remedy the problem. Five positions are being added to the Wildlife Resources Division to conduct stream surveys and undertake other fisheries related surveys and analysis, but their priority for the first few years will be to pinpoint the problems related to TMDLs. After the fishery problems are identified, the Environmental Protection Division will determine how to remedy the problems. Work on the remaining 290 stream segments will be conducted by consultants. \n $10,280,472 for the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund (HWTF) is being appropriated in F.Y. 1998. The Governor included an additional $7,619,541 in his F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget recommendation for the additional trust funds being collected in F.Y.1997. The HWTF is used for the clean-up of hazardous waste sites. Currently, 336 sites have been identified and listed on the state's Hazardous Site Inventory which require clean-up. Of these sites, 136 are being or will be cleaned-up by the responsible parties. The remaining 200 sites are being or will be cleaned-up using the HWTF. Ninety-six ofthe 200 sites are privately-owned abandoned sites and the remaining 104 are state and local government sites. The projected cost to clean-up all the known sites eligible for clean-up with the HWTF is approximately $98 million. Even ifno new hazardous waste sites are found between now and the sunset of the HWTF authorizing legislation in 2003, EPD predicts there may be a shortfall in clean-up funding for known sites. \n \n $535,000 in bonds for a sewerage system and furniture, fixtures and equipment for the conference center at Georgia Veterans State Park in Crisp County. One position and $259,187 are also being added to operate the facility. \n $125,000 in bonds to repair 125 feet of bulkhead near the Meridian Dock residence. Visitors to Sapelo Island catch the ferry at the Meridian Dock. The bulkhead has deteriorated to a point that damage will take place to the dock and residence if repairs are not made. \n $150,000 to allow the Attorney General's Office to do title work on the north end of Sapelo Island to fully document the State of Georgia's ownership of all property on Sapelo Island outside the Hog Hammock Community. \n $106,000 to transfer the hunting and fishing license selling system to Wildlife Resources' recently updated computer system. This will put the department in a position to move to a point of sale licensing system in the future. \n $200,000 to contract with the Department of Corrections for detainee crews for maintenance and construction projects at various state parks and historic sites. \n $350,000 for the second phase ofrepairs and maintenance to Rhodes Memorial Hall. \n A reduction of$380,000 and the elimination 000 positions due to the privatization of golf course maintenance at all seven golf courses operated by the department. The maintenance contractor will be responsible for maintaining all the green areas (fairways, greens and driving ranges). \n $1,725,000 in bonds for capital improvements to the Historic District on Jekyll Island. These funds will be used primarily for basic improvements to Crane Cottage and Cherokee Cottage, both of which offer good opportunities for leasing to private entities. \n \n373 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES \nFinancial Summary \n \nExpenditures, Current Budget and Agency Requests \n \n, \nBudget ClasseslFund Sources \nPersonal Services Regular Operating Expenses Travel Motor Vehicle Purchases Equipment Real Estate Rentals Per Diem, Fees \u0026 Contracts Computer Charges Telecommunications Authority Lease Rentals Cost of Merchandise for Resale Advertising and Promotion Nongame Wildlife Habitat Fund Revolving Loan Grants Capital Outlay - New Const. -Repairs and Maintenance -Land Acquisition Support -WMA Land Acquisition -Shop Stock -User Fee Enhancements -Buoy Maintenance -Paving -Waterfowl Habitat -ParkPass Projects Grants - Land and Water -Environmental Facilities -Recreation -National Park Service -Fluoridation -McIntosh County -Georgia Heritage 2000 -National Prisoner of War \nMuseum -Other -Chattahoochee River Basin Contracts - Technical Assistance - Cold Water Creek (COE) -Ga.

These services include the operation of state parks and historic sites, the management and protection of wildlife and coastal resources, the enforcement of wildlife, boating safety and environmental laws, promotion and assistance with pollution prevention, and protection and management of the state's water, air and land resources in accordance with various state and federal laws. \nBoth the Commissioner's Office and the Program Support Division provide administrative support for the entire department. Six separate and distinct divisions provide services to the citizens of Georgia. \nPARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC SITES The division provides recreational opportunities to the \ncitizens ofGeorgia through the development and operation of48 parks and 15 historic sites. These parks and historic sites attracted over 16.5 million visitors during F.Y. 1996. The division manages over 70,000 acres with such amenities as campgrounds, cottages, lodges, swimming pools, group camps and golf courses. \nWILDLIFE RESOURCES The division manages lands and freshwater habitat for \npublic hunting, fishing and educational purposes and promotes the conservation and wise use of game and nongame wildlife resources. All state laws and departmental regulations regarding wildlife, fishery resources, wild animals, boating safety and hunter safety are enforced by the law enforcement section. The division manages Public Fishing Areas, Wildlife Management Areas and produces over 20 million fish each year in nine state hatcheries which are used to stock public waters. \nCOASTAL RESOURCES The division's primary objectives are to ensure the \noptimum commercial and recreational utilization of Georgia's marine fisheries resources over the long term for the benefit of all Georgians and to protect, conserve and restore populations of marine turtles and mammals. These objectives are accomplished through research, artificial reef development and activities geared toward the protection of threatened and endangered marine species. \nENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The division is largely a regulatory body whose main \nobjective is to enforce state and federal water quality, water supply, air quality, solid waste and hazardous waste laws, \n \nrules and regulations. These objectives are accomplished through a permitting process coupled with monitoring, inspection, investigation and enforcement activities. The division also manages the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund and the Solid Waste Trust Fund. \nHISTORIC PRESERVATION The division provides historic preservation services and \nassistance to governmental agencies, private organizations and individuals. Duties include proposing properties for nomination to both the National and the Georgia Register ofHistoric Places, providing grants to support state and local preservation projects and offering technical assistance and information on tax incentives, archaeological matters and other preservation programs. \nPOLLUTION PREVENTION The division is a non-regulatory organization designed to \nserve as a one-stop source for Georgia businesses interested in finding ways to reduce their hazardous waste, solid waste, water and air pollution problems through preventive measures. \nATTACHED AGENCIES The Georgia State Games Commission promotes \namateur athletic competition through the Georgia State Games.

As the population grows, demands on Georgia's natural resources increase, making it essential that the Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) continue its obligation to protect, preserve and manage these resources for present and future generations. \nGovernor Miller has shownbis strong commitment to ensuring a high quality of life through his balanced approach to the protection of the environment and proper management of the state's natural resources. DNR has many programs that serve the public and protect the environment. Some of DNR's activities in these area are highlighted below. \n \nPRESERVATION 2000 \n \nGovernor Miller established the \n \nPreservation 2000 Program in 1991 in \n \nan effort to preserve Georgia's natural \n \nbeauty for future generations. The \n \nGovernor's goal was to acquire and \n \nprotect 100,000 acres of natural and \n \nenvironmentally sensitive land. \n \nUnaltered, old-growth forests and \n \nwetlands, including river bottom \n \nhardwood forests, bays and other \n \nnaturally occurring water features were \n \npriority acquisitions under the program. \n \nThis program was very successful \n \nand in May of 1996 Governor Miller's \n \ngoal of acquiring 100,000 acres during \n \nhis administration was reached. Total \n \nfunding for Preservation 2000 totaled \n \n$69.7 million, ofwhich $65 million was \n \ngeneral \n \nobligation \n \nbonds. \n \nApproximately $52 million of these \n \nbonds are being retired with funds \n \ncollected from an increase in hunting and \n \nfishing license fees and boat registration \n \nfees authorized in F.Y. 1992. General \n \ntax revenues are retiring the other $13 \n \nmillion. The remaining $4.7 million for \n \nland acquisition is from $3.3 million in \n \nother state and federal funds and about \n \n$1.4 million in private gifts of cash. Gifts ofland have been made with a total value of over $54 million. \n \nRIVER CARE 2000 \n \n~ ,~JJ ==~. \n \nRecognizing that Georgia must have healthy \n \nrivers ifthe state's \n \nresidents and \n \nvisitors are to continue enjoying a high \n \nquality of life, Governor Miller \n \nannounced during 1995 his intention to \n \nestablish the River Care 2000 Program. \n \nThe guiding principle of River Care \n \n2000 is to share with the state's citizens \n \nthe Governor's appreciation and deep \n \nregard for the importance of Georgia's \n \n70,000 miles of rivers and streams. \n \nGeorgians are very fortunate to have \n \na good supply ofclean water. Programs \n \nimplemented by various government \n \nentities, industry, farmers, foresters and \n \nother individuals have greatly helped to \n \nimprove the water quality of the state's \n \nrivers over the past 20 years. \n \nUnfortunately, Georgia's rivers still face \n \nsignificant challenges: control of \n \npolluting storm-water runoff; erosion \n \nand subsequent sedimentation from land \n \ndisturbing activity; destruction ofhistoric \n \nand pre-historic resources from \n \ndevelopment; restriction on public \n \naccess to rivers for recreational use; and \n \nunwise development of flood-prone \n \nareas. River Care 2000 is a \n \nconservation program which will meet \n \nthese challenges by enabling the state to \n \n.control and manage the state's rivers in \n \nan environmentally conscious manner. \n \nIn September of 1995 Governor \n \nMiller appointed the River Care 2000 \n \nCoordinating Committee and directed \n \nthe members to give policy level \n \nguidance to the program. The \n \nCommittee has sought input from DNR, \n \nthe private sector and the environmental \n \ncommunity in evaluating important river \n \nresources throughout the state, \n \nidentifying more effective river \n \nmanagement methods and arranging for \n \nappropriate public or private entities to \n \nmanage certain river corridors. The \n \nCoordinating Committee has recently approved procedures for selecting riverfront lands to acquire. Three types of acquisition projects have been identified: \n Riverway Demonstration Projects improve public access to a river and protect natural and historic resources by acquiring and managing land in the river corridor. The river corridor should be scenic and suitable for family recreation. This kind ofproject is not to be initiated by the state, but rather by the community, with local governments, federal agencies, citizens, landowners and organizations joining together to identify an initial vision for the river. These agencies and private interests will ask the state to become a partner for funding. IfDNR approves the funding, it will acquire only that land which is necessary for the project to succeed. To leverage the state funds, the other partners will be asked to contribute land already in public ownership, funds for development, staff time for operations and maintenance, and other resources, such as volunteered time. \n Significant Sites are tracts ofland which DNR will acquire and operate as traditional state public-use facilities: wildlife management areas or public fishing areas, parks or historic sites, natural areas, or greenways. \n Restoration Sites are tracts of land which the state will identify, acquire and manage to reduce nonpoint source water pollution. \nIn addition to these three types of projects the state will also acquire conservation easements, where appropriate. In gen.eral, a conservation easement will be considered only if its terms are adequate to achieve the state's conservation objectives and it comes as a gift. \nThe state will work with the private sector to acquire and protect river corridor property. The Nature Conservancy, The Conservation Fund, The Trust for Public Land and The Archaeological Conservancy are the major private, non-profit firms in \n \n383 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nGeorgia which acquire land for conservation purposes. They will be asked to negotiate, on the state's behalf, important tracts on rivers where they have expertise. The department will also diTectly negotiate and acquire river corridor projects. \nRiver Care 2000 acquisition funds include $13.5 million in state bond funds and $1.1 million in federal matching \nfunds from the u.s. Environmental \nProtection Agency. The department will use a significant amount ofthese funds to encourage the creation of several Riverway Demonstration Projects throughout the state. Potential riverway projects are under discussion with the communities of Bibb County/Macon, Cherokee County/Canton, Effingham County, Floyd County/Rome, Muscogee County/Columbus, Newton County, and Laurens County/Dublin. DNR expects to have the entire $14.6 million currently available for land acquisition programmed for active projects by the end ofl996. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 budget recommendation includes an additional $10 million in G.O. bonds for River Care 2000. \nPRIVATIZATION INITIATIVES DNR retained Golf \nResources Associates, Inc. (GRA) to provide an independent assessment of the department's golf course operations and the potential for privatizing the facilities. GRA submitted the Georgia Parks Golf Facility Privatization Study in May of 1996. Many of the changes DNR is making in golf course operations are from recommendations from this study. In July 1996 the Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division of DNR established a separate section within the division responsible for the operation of the seven golf courses under DNR's control. The new golf course section will enable the department to operate all golfcourses in a complementary fashion and take advantage of economies of scale in the purchase or lease of various \n \nitems (golfcarts, golfballs, etc.) used in golf course operations. As a result of these changes DNR is in the process of soliciting bids for the lease of golf carts for all seven golf courses. The department is also looking for a single vendor to be responsible for the maintenance of all the golf courses. On October 2, 1996 a request for proposal was circulated requesting bids from vendors for the maintenance of all the golf courses. The maintenance contractor will be responsible for maintaining all the green areas (fairways, greens, and driving ranges) and will be required to provide the equipment to perform these functions. The contract, when awarded, will include performance criteria that must be met to continue the contractual arrangement. DNR feels a single maintenance contractor will allow the department to ensure that all the goIf courses under its control will have the same maintenance standards. The privatization ofgolfcourse maintenance will result in the elimination of 30 positions in the golf course unit. \nA request for proposal was also circulated in October of 1996 for the operation of the meeting facility under construction at Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park in Crisp County. Responses are currently being evaluated by the department. DNR, with the help ofthe Cordele-Crisp County Chamber of Commerce, is seeking a private investor to build a hotel adjacent to the meeting facility. \nThe Governor is including in his F.Y. 1998 recommendation the privatization of the operation of the Travelers Rest Historic Site in Stephens County. The department is also pursuing a private entity to operate the Robert Toombs House in Wilkes County. \nTOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL) \nThe Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of DNR serves as the state's regulatory agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal environmental standards related to air and water quality, and land protection. \n \nIn addition, EPD also strives to provide \n \na balance that will protect Georgia's \n \nwater and land supply thus ensuring a \n \nhigher quality oflife, while at the same \n \ntime sustaining a growing population \n \nand economy. \n \nRecently, a Federal Court issued a \n \nruling against the U.S. Environmental \n \nProtection Agency, Region IV which \n \nsaid that Total Maximum Daily Loads \n \n(TMDLs) must be developed for state \n \nwaters within a five-year time frame. \n \nTMDLs are discharge load limits that \n \nwill have to be developed very carefully \n \nfor our streams using as much high \n \nquality field data as possible so the limits \n \naccurately reflect the wastewater \n \nt~eatment level needed to protect the \n \nstream. \n \nThere are approximately 423 stream \n \nsegments throughout Georgia that will \n \nrequire TMDL development. To ensure \n \nthe best possible information on \n \nGeorgia's streams is developed, EPD in \n \nconjunction with the U.S. Environmental \n \nProtection Agency is in the process of \n \ndeveloping \n \nan \n \naggressive \n \nimplementation plan for establishing \n \nload limits with a focus on non-point \n \nsource pollution, land use and other \n \npollutants. The plan is to focus on 20 \n \npercent ofthe streams each year in order \n \nto meet the requirement within five \n \nyears. Development of inaccurate data \n \nwill result in poor quality decisions and \n \nhave serious impacts on how much local \n \ngovernments and industries have to \n \nspend on treatment facilities to meet the \n \nfederal requirements. \n \nTo comply with the Court's ruling \n \nand to help with this environmental \n \nproblem, Governor Miller is \n \nrecommending $1,368,000 to begin the \n \nTMDL development process in F.Y. \n \n1998. \n \nTRUST FUNDS In 1992, Governor Miller initiated \ntwo very significant environmental protection trust funds used for hazardous waste and scrap tire dump clean-ups. Combined, these two trust funds have had a tremendous impact in funding programs devoted to the protection and \n \n384 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \nHazardous Waste Inventory \n \nHazardous Waste Summary Projected clean-up for abandoned sites Projected clean-up for state \u0026 local sites Total projected clean-up for all known sites \n \nNo. of Sites \n96 104 200 \n \nProjected Cost($M) \n75.30 22.50 97.80 \n \nmaintenance of Georgia's land and water resources. \nHazardous Waste Trust Fund (HWTF). The provisions of Georgia's Hazardous Sites Response Act encourage voluntary clean-up of contaminated sites by responsible parties. If the responsible party is unwilling or unable to undertake the clean-up themselves, public moneys from the HWTF will be used to investigate and clean-up the hazardous waste site. The state can also sue the responsible parties for up to three times the clean-up cost ifHWTF moneys have to be spent. It is EPD's goal to ensure clean-up of contaminated sites in Georgia in an organized, consistent and cost-effective manner. Due to the number and complexity ofcontaminated sites, achievement ofthis goal is a longterm commitment that will reach well into the next decade. \nThe state's Annual Hazardous Site Inventory list includes 336 sites. Of these sites, 136 will be cleaned up by responsible parties. The remaining 200 sites which consists of 96 privatelyowned abandoned sites and 104 state and local government sites will be cleaned up with the Trust Fund. Sites include emergency clean-ups needed to eliminate direct human exposure to hazardous chemicals, commercial hazardous waste facilities that have gone out of business leaving behind large amounts of flammable and toxic substances, and abandoned wood \n \ntreating plants heavily contaminated with cancer causing chemicals. EPD estimates the total cost to clean-up these 200 sites to be $97.8 million. EPD projects there may be a shortfall based on projected clean-up costs of known sites when the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund law sunsets in 2003. \nAs of September 1996, almost $39 million had been collected from fees and civil penalties for the HWTF. Ten percent of the HWTF receipts are utilized to reduce hazardous waste at the source through various pollution prevention methods. Governor Miller included an additional $7,619,541 in his F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget recommendation for the additional trust funds being collected in F.Y. 1997. For F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller is recommending $10,280,472 for the HWTF based on fines and fee collections. \nSolid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF). In 1992, the growing number of scrap tires throughout the state prompted the legislature to amend the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act to include the management of scrap tires. At that time there were approximately eight million illegally dumped tires in piles ranging from 200 to three million tires. These dumps pose a threat to public health and the environment because of their potential to bum and to become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. EPD has addressed the clean-up oftire dumps by initiating a two-pronged approach. \n \nOne is strictly clean-up of existing dumps. Another is the start-up of a grant program to reimburse local governments that clean-up dumps within their jurisdictions. Under the second approach, grants are offered to local governments for the development and implementation of waste management and educational programs. The SWTF is funded from a $1 per tire fee charged to the consumer and collected by the retailer. As of September 1996, over $20 million has been collected from the assessed fee. For F.Y. 1998, Governor Miller is recommending $6,792,756 for the Solid Waste Trust Fund based on the $1 per tire fee. \nGEORGIA AGRICULTURAL EXPOSITION AUTHORITY \nSince F.Y. 1993 the Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority's annual operating budgets have included approximately $2.3 million in state funds. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 recommendation for the authority reduces state funds by $291,391 to a level of $2,039,523, which is a 12.5 percent reduction of the F.Y. 1997 state appropriation to the authority. This funding level still allows the maintenance of a large cash reserve. In fact, reserves at the end of F.Y. 1996 were $674,845, far more than the $258,000 emergency reserve the authority maintains as a hedge against revenue downturns from authority events such as the National Fair. Based on net revenue growth to date in F.Y. 1997, it is expected that reserves will approach $900,000 by the end of F.Y. 1997. \nAs illustrated by the graph on the Functional Budget Summary page, the authority has been successful in increasing its non-state revenue every year. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 recommendation includes non-state revenue totaling $3,528,000; however, based on past trends actual col1ections may reach $4 million, or $472,000 more than budgeted. \n \n385 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -- Strategies and Services \n \n90,000,000 \n80,000,000 \n70,000,000 \n60,000,000 f 50,000,000 .!!! \nc'0 40,000,000 \n30,000,000 \n20,000,000 \n10,000,000 \na \n \nTotal Funding for EPD \n \no CIO (7) ...... \nCIO CIO (7) (7) \nFiscal Year \n \n Additional Federal and Other \nI Funds Added During Year o Total Funding Included in Original Appropriation \n \nTotal Positions in EPD \n \n700 \n \n600 \n \nUcl 500 \n0 \n \n;l \n \n\"iii \n0 \n \n400 \n \n.1.1... \n \n.0.. 300 \n \nCI) \n,g \n \nE \n;:, \n \n200 \n \nz \n \n100 \n \na \n \nr-- CIO (7) 0 \n \n......

As the largest law enforcement agency in the State of Georgia, the department is involved in regulating drivers, enforcing traffic and criminal laws, and promoting safe driving practices. In F.Y. 1996, the department's troopers made nearly 140,000 interstate arrests, investigated 30,000 accidents, and made over 14,500 Dill arrests. These efforts have contributed to saving lives and decreasing the number of crashes and injuries in Georgia. \nIn F.Y. 1998, the Governor has continued his support for the department's efforts to increase the safety of the state's highways by increasing the enforcement of speed limits and by introducing a graduated license for teenage drivers. \n \nHIGHWAY SAFETY . \n \nThe department's highway safety \n \nprogram consists of the following \n \nfunctions which are performed by the \n \nGeorgia State Patrol: \n \n Speed Limit Enforcement--The \n \ndepartment wrote more than 260,000 \n \ncitations for speeding in F.Y. 1996 as \n \npart of it's ongoing effort to reduce \n \nhighway speed and save lives. Further, \n \nthe department implemented an \n \nintensive speed enforcement program, \n \nknown as Operation Hardnose, \n \ndesigned to target problem drivers in \n \nthe Atlanta area. Operation Hardnose \n \nconsists of 50 troopers in concentrated \n \npatrols on metro interstates and has \n \nresulted in thousands of tickets and \n \nwarnings being issued. \n \nBecause of the success of \n \nOperation Hardnose, the Governor has \n \nrecommended that this program be \n \nexpanded in F.Y. 1998 to other metro \n \nareas in the state, including Augusta, \n \nColumbus, Macon and Savannah. \n \n DUI \n \nEnforcement--The \n \ndepartment has initiated several \n \nintensive Dill projects in the past \n \nseveral years, including a 5-trooper task \n \nforce funded by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. In Georgia in 1995, alcohol or drugs were involved in over 10,000 crashes, resulting in 9,623 injuries and 508 deaths. Targeting Dill drivers is crucial since one out of three fatal crashes in Georgia involved alcohol or drugs in 1995. \n \nby 40-50%. The department's troopers and the Office of Highway Safety have enhanced the public's awareness of seat belt safety through aggressive enforcement and through numerous public service announcements targeting seat belt usage. \n \nCitations Issued by the State Patrol \n \n380,000 \n \n370,000 \n \n360,000 \n \n350,000 \n \n340,000 \n \n330,000 \n \n320,000 \n \n310,000 300,000 -+--------,------,---------,-----( \n \n92 \n \n93 \n \n94 \n \n95 \n \n96 Est. \n \nFiscal Years \n \n Star GSP--One of the frrst proactive responses to DUI drivers came in 1994 as the department unveiled a proposal to involve the average citizen in the statewide crackdown on drunk and drug impaired drivers. By dialing *GSP , any driver with a cellular phone may immediately contact the nearest State Patrol Post to report an impaired driver. The program has been very successful, accounting for almost 1,100 Dill arrests in F.Y. 1996. \n Seat Belt and Child Restraint Enforcement--With the passage of Georgia's primary seat belt enforcement law, the State of Georgia has made a commitment to seat belt enforcement. According to studies, proper use of safety belts and child safety seats can reduce the likelihood death and injury \n \nDRIVER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE The Governor supports the \ndepartment's efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities involving teenage drivers. The leading cause of death in the u.S. teenagers is motor vehicle crashes and young drivers experience a disproportionately higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than other aged drivers. According to the Office of Highway Safety, 108 of every 100,000 drivers under 18 were involved in a fatal crash. This is three times as many traffic deaths as drivers who are 24 years or older. \nYoung drivers are involved in more deadly crashes than other age groups due to a number of factors, including a lack of driving experience, a tendency to drive faster, driving more at night, not wearing seat belts, having \n \n400 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY -- Strategies and Services \n \nmore passengers in their vehicles, and not being able to handle the effects of alcohol. \nThe Governor supports the introduction of a new, \"graduated\" driver's license with restrictions for drivers under 18 years. A full, unrestricted license would be issued after a period of safe driving performance. In F.Y. 1998, the Governor recommends $867,500 to add 15 license examiners and operating costs to handle the increased workload resulting from 300,000 teens being issued a graduated license. \n \nAnother step to improve service is the introduction ofcomputerized digital imaging license issuance in the fall of 1996. Digital imaging makes it possible for the department to issue a renewal driver's license immediately, rather than 45 days. A digital imaging system does not require film or a camera; instead, the image is captured by a computer using a video camera and printed using a color printer. Overthe-counter instant issuance has significantly improved the efficiency and quality of service. \n \nDriver's License Issuance Activity \n \nPermanent Facilities vs. Renewal Sites \n1,800,000 1,600,000 1,400,000 1,200,000 1,000,000 \n800,000 600,000 400,000 200,000 \no ---'----;.:::::f::.:::i---c::::::f::::::i--...:::+ :.'_ _.

Miller's directive to improve service at overcrowded driver's license facilities, the department opened six more license renewal sites in 1996. Combined with the 25 previously opened, these 29 service-oriented facilities have renewed over 300,000 driver's licenses in F.Y. 1996. Projected renewal volume of 380,000 in F.Y. 1997 means renewal stations will account for over 22% of all license renewals in the state. By expanding services, the problem of long lines at the busiest facilities has been alleviated. \n \nDRUG INTERDICTION The nature ofthe job performed by \na trooper has changed significantly over the last decade. Georgia State Patrol Troopers are placing increased emphasis on drug interdiction and eradication, both as a byproduct of normal traffic enforcement, and through involvement in state and federal task forces. An example of one of these task forces is the Governor's Task Force on Drug Eradication, which is supported by the State Patrol and its aviation unit. In F.Y. 1996, GSP troopers and pilots seized over \n \n$450,000 in currency, more than 30 kilos of cocaine, and more than 400 pounds of marijuana. \nTRAINING The State of Georgia has almost \n37,000 peace officers in approximately 900 state, county and local law enforcement agencies. To be certified, law enforcement personnel are required to complete a minimum prescribed nine week, 360 hour basic mandate course. Peace officers are also required to complete a minimum of20 hours of inservice training annually to maintain certification. The following agencies attached to DPS for administrative purposes are critical in providing training to state and local law enforcement personnel: Police Academy, Fire Academy, Firefighter Standards and Training Council, Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the Public Safety Training Center. \nIn an effort to avoid duplication of effort and to improve the efficiency of the training delivery system in Georgia, the Governor transferred the authority for the funding ofthe regional and local academies from the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council to GPSTC by Executive Order on May 23, 1996. \nThe transfer will improve the coordination and efficiency of the training delivery system by consolidating training delivery initiatives into a single agency. Further, the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council can focus on setting training standards and certifying peace officers in the state. \nIn F.Y. 1998, the Governor recommends $203,570 for the Public Safety Training Center to coordinate with the ten regional and 3 departmental academies to develop a \"High Liability' basic training 'course, including Emergency Vehicle Operation and firearms training. \n \n401 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nDRIV,ER'S LICENSE ISSUANCE \nPURPOSE: Process and issue licenses to eligible drivers in Georgia to allow them to legally operate motor vehicles.

The commission ensures that consumers receive adequa,te and reliable service at reasonable rates. At the same time, however, the commission must provide regulated companies the opportunity to earn a fair return on their investments. \nThe Public Service Commission is a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial agency consisting of a five-member board of commissioners elected by statewide general election for a sixyear terms. The agency also has a staff of engineers, auditors, analysts, inspectors, enforcement officers and others who perform a variety oftechnical, enforcement and administrative duties. The commission is organized into three divisions: the Transportation Division, the Utilities Division and the Administrative Division. \nJURISDICTION The Public Service Commission has jurisdiction over the \nfollowing services: Transportation--Railroads, commercial transport of \npersons of property on state highways (not including.school buses, taxicabs, buses, tow trucks, and several others), dock or wharfage companies, terminal station companies, and miscellaneous others. \nUtilities--Gas and electric light and power companies, natural gas storage, transmission, and distribution facilities, telephone and telegraph companies, and for-hire radio communications and dispatch systems. \nThese industries must abide l:iy the rules and regulations promulgated by the Public Service Commission and must request approval for any changes in the rates, types or quality of services provided. \n \nTRANSPORTATION Regarding the transportation industry, the commission \nstrives to provide a viable and safe motor and rail transportation system for the benefit of the public. The commission's Transportation Division enforces state and federal laws and regulations governing the operation oftrucks, buses and other regulated motor carriers. The Division inspects maintenance and driver's records, enforces safety standards, checks insurance requirements and investigates complaints about service or rates. \nUTILITIES In regulating public utilities, the commission exercises \njurisdiction over the rates and types of service most of Georgia's citizens receive. The commission oversees the safety and maintenance of 500 miles of natural gas transmission lines and over 20,000 miles of distribution lines that transport over one-third ofthe state's energy supply to two million gas customers. \nRegulated public utility companies are required to keep the commission informed of their operations and fmancial status. The commission's Utilities Division audits fmancial reports and analyzes rate filings, fuel recovery cases and other matters filed by regulated gas, electric and telephone \nco~panies. \nWhen regulated companies request permission to change rates or services, the commission may conduct hearings and subpoena witnesses to gather evidence regarding the need for any changes. The commission staff prepares background information, conducts fmancial analyses and forecasting, and provides technical assistance to the commissioners. \nAUTHORITY Title 46 of Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n414 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe Public Service Commission \n \nhas exclusive power to decide what are \n \nfair and reasonable rates for services \n \nunder its jurisdiction. With few \n \nexceptions, the commission determines \n \nwhat rates utilities and other regulated \n \ntelecommunications and transportation \n \nindustries can charge, and the service \n \nthey must provide to the public. \n \nTherefore, the commission's actions \n \naffect citizens every time they pick up \n \na telephone, turn on a light or purchase \n \nmerchandise transported by a truck. \n \nThe responsibilities of the Public \n \nService Commission include: \n \n Reviewing requests from \n \nregulated industries to change rates. \n \n Improving the safety of \n \nGeorgia's transportation system and \n \nnatural gas operations. \n \n Providing for long range \n \nplanning to promote efficient use of \n \nenergy resources. \n \n Act as a facilitator to \n \ncompetition and ensure a good quality \n \nof service in the new \n \ntelecommunications \n \ncompetitive \n \nenvironment. \n \n Respond to complaints. \n \nThe scope of jurisdiction and \n \nresponsibilities are changing for the \n \ncommission. In 1995, the General \n \nAssembly passed legislation to \n \nderegulate \n \ntelecommunications. \n \nCurrently, the Legislature is \n \nconsidering the deregulation of the \n \nnatural gas industry with the \n \nderegulation of the electric industry \n \ninevitable. By deregulating these \n \nutilities, the mission of the commission \n \nwill change from a regulator to a \n \nsupporter of competition. \n \nIn fulfilling its responsibilities, the \n \ncommission holds hearings on various \n \nrate cases, conducts vehicle safety \n \ninspections and gas safety inspections, \n \nand handles approximately 3,000 \n \nconsumer complaints about regulated \n \nservices. The commission is authorized \n \nto investigate and gather evidence, \n \nissue orders, hear appeals, and institute \n \ncourt proceedings to enforce its \n \ndecisions, rules and regulations. \n \nROADSIDE INSPECTIONS One ofthe objectives ofthe Public \nService Commission is to improve the safety of the highways to reduce accidents. The program is named the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). The federal government provides a 80%/20% federal/state match for this program. Each year 15 million commercial motor vehicles travel Georgia's roads. \n \nCurrently, the commISSIon has 35 enforcement officers that ensure that trucks without certification do not operate within the state and that drivers meet state and federal regulations. The Governor has recommended three additional positions (two enforcement officers and one secretary) in the F.Y. 1998 budget. These positions will be assigned to high traffic areas, Le. Atlanta, Savannah or the 1-75 corridor. \n \nNumber of Inspections Motor Carriers \n \n40,000 \n \n30,000 \n \n20,000 \n \n10,000 \n-.IL~X~~:':::::::::::~:::::~~------\"'~_~:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~\"---\"'~_~::::::::::.::::::::::::::::::::~,-/ \n \nFY 1995 \n \nFY 1996 FY 1997 Budget \n \nI I Inspections \nrtL\"'j Vehicles Placed Out of Service \n \nVehicles Placed Out of Service \nF.Y.1996 - Hazardous Material Carriers 928 of 4,619 Inspections Place Out of Service \n \n16.7% \n \n415 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \nEnforcement officers perform five different levels of random inspections. Level I is the North American Standard Inspection which includes both the driver and the vehicle. All mechanical parts of the truck are manually tested, and all paperwork and driver condition are surveyed. The other levels are: \n Level II: Walk-Around Driver/ Vehicle Inspection. (Not as detailed as a Level I.) \n Level III:Driver-only Inspection.  Level IV: Special Inspection.  Level V: Vehicle-only Inspection. The officers perform about 30,000 truck inspections each year. Each officer if POST certified and specially trained to inspect motor vehicles. In addition, the enforcement officers are the only law enforcement officers specially trained to inspect trucks hauling hazardous materials or waste in Georgia. The officers inspect about 5,000 vehicles transporting hazardous materials each year. Officers also assist at the scene of hazardous materials incidents and conduct follow-up investigations. \nRATE CASES The Public Service Commission \nand its staff review and analyze requests by regulated industries to establish new rates, offer new services, modify existing services or implement new technology. At the rate hearings, both the utility and the commission's staff present testimony concerning financial and technical information. Expert testimony and public witnesses are also heard during the hearing. After all the testimony is presented, the commissioners decide what, if any, rate /service changes are granted. \nGAS PIPELINE SAFETY The Public Service Commission \nensures that natural gas is delivered to consumers through the safest possible system by inspecting gas suppliers, pipelines, storage facilities, systems and operators. This program is the Gas Pipeline Safety Program which is \n \nfunded 50% federal /50% state. The safety checks ensure pipes are not rusting, proper pressure regulation and safeguards are in place, proper odorant is in use to warn ofleaks, and employee drug testing is conducted. \nThe commission is responsible for inspecting 84 municipal gas systems, 126 master meter operators, two transportation pipelines, two publicly \n \nTELECOMMUNICATIONS AND COMPETITION DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1995 \nThe Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995 became effective July 1, 1995. The goal of the new law is to open up competition for local telephone markets with the result of lower rates for consumers.

In addition to inspections, the inspectors conduct annual gas safety training seminars for gas system operators. \nINTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANS \nSince 1991, Georgia's two investor -owned electric power companies have been required to file an integrated resource plan (IRP) with the commission at least every three years. The purpose of the IRP is to promote a long-term approach to providing energy and encouraging energy conservation. \nThe IRP includes the utility's energy and demand forecasts over a 20year period. The commission evaluates the IRP for its feasibility, reliability, and cost. In addition, the commission must certify new construction of electric plants and monitor the construction process to ensure costs are kept within budget. \n \nfrom a regulator of monopoly local exchange service providers to a facilitator of competition while protecting the public against unfair competition and abuse or market position. \nThe bill addresses five major areas: \n Local Exchange Competition: Companies can solicit the commission for certificate of authority to provide local and long distance service. \n Interconnection Rates: Public Service Commission will no longer set rates; the market will set rates and conditions of service. When agreements cannot be reached between the service providers, the commission will act as a mediator. \n Basic Service Charges: Basic service rates are the rates in effect when the law went into place. Within the first five years, the law does allow for rate increases based on a formula. \n Universal Access Fund: The commission will collect quarterly a \n \n416 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Strategies and Services \n \npercentage of gross revenues from all telephone companies to help provide telephone service in rural areas. The fund offsets costs so that reasonable prices can be offered. \n Extended Area Service Hearings: Extended Area Service allows toll-free calling between areas where the central telephone offices are within 25 miles or less apart. \nThe new telecommunication regulation changes the responsibilities of the commission. The law will provide the metropolitan markets with a wide range of competitive telecommunication services while \n \nensuring universal access to basic local exchange services in less densely populated areas of the state. \nIn addition to local markets opening, the market has changed for long distance service. More companies are providing long distance service making competition severe. \nA practice which has manifested from this severe competition is \"slamming\". A customer has been \"slammed\" when a provider switches the consumer's long distance provider without his knowledge. Usually the consumer fmds out that he has been \"slammed\" when he receives his phone \n \nbill. A consumer may unwittingly authorize a service change by signing a non-telephone related document. The small print of the document indicates approval to switch carrier. \nThe Public Service Commission received 55 \"slamming\" complaints in 1994 and 287 in 1995. On a national level, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) received 8,761 in 1995. In 1996, the commission has received 600 complaints. \"Slamming\" is illegal under the FCC, and the commission is in the process of writing rules that would prohibit local service slamming. \n \n417 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nUTILI:rIES - NATURAL GAS, ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS \nPURPOSE: Ensure that natural gas, electric and telecommunications utilities under the statutory authority ofthe Commission provide reliable service to Georgians at a price which balances affordability with their level of risk (rate based regulated). \nGOALS Evaluate natural gas utilities purchased gas adjustment (PGA), rate case, gas supply plans and other filings. Evaluate electric utilities long range plans for meeting energy needs in Georgia. Assess electric utilities loan and energy forecasts, fuel price forecasts and resource screening analyses. Recommend least cost resource options. Implement the introduction of competition into telecommunications services. \nMOTOR CARRIER REGISTRATION \nPURPOSE: Foster a safe and viable transportation system for the citizens of Georgia. \nGOALS Ensure that \"for hire\" motor carriers maintain the required amounts of liability and cargo insurance coverage for the protection of the public as prescribed by a.c.G.A. 46-7-12 and the Commission's Transportation Rules. Mediate complaints between the shipping public and motor carriers. \nMOTOR CARRIER VEHICLE SAFETY \nPURPOSE: Maintain a safe and viable transportation system on Georgia highways for the protection of the public. \nGOALS Reduce the number of commercial vehicle acCidents, injuries and fatalities. Educate the commercial drivers and public on (a) highway safety and motoring (sharing the road) and (b) transportation of hazardous materials. \nPIPELINE SAFETY \nPURPOSE: Protect the people and the environment of the State of Georgia through a comprehensive pipeline safety program that includes effective risk management through pipeline compliance. \nGOALS Perform a risk assessment of all natural gas operations in Georgia as it pertains to public safety. Perform a more comprehensive inspection of operators with high risk factors. \n418 \n \n PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION -- Results-Based Budgeting \n \nProgram Fund Allocations \n \nAGENCY PROGRAMS 1.

ICAPP Accel is \n \nthe higher education complement of \n \nQuick Start, Georgia's fast-response \n \ntechnical training program. \n \nContinuation funding of $400,000 is \n \nrecommended to expand the ICAPP \n \nworkforce preparedness needs \n \nassessment to better align Georgia's \n \neducation workforce needs with the \n \nUniversity System ofGeorgia's (USG) \n \nacademic program planning. \n \nAdditional ICAPP funds are \n \nrecommended to meet access needs \n \nidentified by business surveys, listening \n \nforums and focus groups. Governor \n \nMiller advocates $250,000 for two \n \ndatabases: one, a one-stop-shop \n \ntechnology entrance to USG assets, \n \ncreating a database of expertise and outreach services available across the System. A second database would address matchmaking needs for employers and student internships, coops and faculty development opportunities. \nAn additional $250,000 will assist in the development of other instructional offerings in computerrelated fields. Funding for an innovative regional economic development program is the Governor's last ICAPP proposal. One region ofthe state would be selected from competitive proposals of the initial program which is conceived to create institution-based pilot programs linking USG assets to regional economic development needs. This program offers means to test and showcase both cooperative and collaborative initiatives among USG institutions and regional parties that have potential to be replicated in other regions of the state. Use of funds from local, regional or private sources would be critical in matching the $1,000,000 recommended for this proposal. Total recommended funding: $4,214,000. \nThe Governor is also recommending funding for five new initiatives. They are: \nINSTRUCTIONA L TECHNOLOGY-- Support for this initiative requires both state general and lottery funding. This initiative addresses the technology training and support needed to keep the University System moving forward in the use of technology in the classroom and in support areas. The initiative focuses on three areas: upgrading hardware and software; technology support; and technology training. It is recommended that the first area, upgrading hardware and software receive $3 million in lottery funds. These funds support the $3 million appropriated to create model classrooms in F. Y. 1997, and are further focused this year to provide needed upgrades in this initiative. Technology support, funding for support personnel to assist in \n \nmaintaining the hardware and software, \n \nis recommended to receive $3 million \n \nin general funds. The third area, \n \ntechnology training, is supported by \n \ngeneral funds of $2 million. The \n \nGovernor has recognized the need to \n \nprepare upcoming teachers in the use of \n \ntechnology and included funding in this \n \ncomponent for teacher education \n \nprograms. Total recommendation: $5 \n \nmillion state general funds, $3 million \n \nlottery funds. \n \nADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR \n \nMAJOR \n \nREPAIRS \n \nAND \n \nRENOVATION-- The Governor has \n \nincluded in his recommendations a \n \nformula revision that addresses the \n \nneed of the University System to \n \nprotect its assets. His recommendation \n \nincreases the MRR formula for funding \n \nfrom .75 percent to .99 percent ofthe \n \ncurrent replacement value of all assets, \n \nincreasing the fund total to \n \n$42,924,444. \n \nPARTNERS IN SUCCESS-- In an \n \neffort to design a program to improve \n \nGeorgia's secondary students' readiness \n \nfor life after high school, the Governor \n \nis recommending $1,950,000 to better \n \nprepare students for entering the \n \nUniversity System. This initiative \n \nprovides $220,000 for a prognostic \n \nmath test to be given to all high school \n \njuniors to assess their math skills; \n \n$680,000 for a mentoring program; \n \n$100,000 to publicize the new \n \nadmissions standards; and $800,000 for \n \ngifted and talented high school \n \nprograms at the State University of \n \nWest Georgia and Middle Georgia \n \nCollege. \n \nAdditional funds are being added \n \nto this initiative to support the \n \ndevelopment of a P-16 database which \n \nwould allow a student to be tracked \n \nfrom the time they enter the Pre- \n \nKindergarten program through college. \n \nThis $150,000 allocation will provide \n \noperational support to coordinate this \n \nactivity in the affected agencies. \n \nENDOWED CHAIR-- State funds \n \nof $500,000 will provide one-time \n \nfunding for an endowed chair at the \n \nRosalyn Carter Institute of Caregiving \n \n445 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nat Georgia Southwestern State University. These funds will match a pledged gift donation of $800,000 to support the endowment. \nINTERNET CONNECTIVITY-The Jast major initiative is a recommendation by Governor Miller that will maximize the funding provided for GALILEO and PeachNet expansion by providing additional funds to connect all public educational entities in the state to the Internet through this access point. This bold move will allow all K-12 schools, DTAE institutions and all public libraries access to both the Internet and GALILEO, the University System's online library system. Total first year funding for this initiative is $9,903,735. Lottery funding of $6,454,422 is contained in Regents' budget. All operating costs totalling $3,449,313 are recommended in DOE, DTAE and Regents budgets. \nCAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS The University System is \ncommitted to maintaining high-quality facilities. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 budget contains recommendations to fund, through bond sales, eight major capital outlay projects in the amowit of $75,185,250, which brings the total amount of construction projects authorized by the Governor to $838,127,340 since F.Y. 1992. The Governor is also recommending 12 projects from the minor capital outlay list totaling $36,610,000 and $10 million for a parking deck on the north campus of the University of Georgia. The funds appropriated for this project will be paid back to the state with revenue generated by the parking deck. \nThe major new projects are: a student services building and health education classroom for Macon College ($8,757,000); phase II of the Manufacturing Related Disciplines Complex at Georgia Tech ($27,258,000); a student services and physical education building at Waycross College ($6,058,500); a music education building at Clayton \n \nCollege and State University ($4,305,000); a renovation/addition to Walker Hall Classroom Building and Dublin Center at Middle Georgia College ($7,686,000); a physical education facility at Columbus State University ($13,303,750); a student center at Atlanta Metropolitan College ($5,817,000); and an additional $2 million for flood recovery at Albany State University. \nAnother major project included by the Governor in the F.Y. 1998 budget is the completion of the renovation of the Old Capitol Building at Georgia Military College. The Old Capitol, built in 1807, was severely damaged by fire in 1941. The plan includes a regional museum and renovation of the Legislative Chamber. The building \n \nCollege and State University in Milledgeville. The former mansion is a National Historic Landmark, which will be restored to illustrate the history ofthe site and its inhabitants during the years the mansion was the official residence of Georgia's governors. The restoration is estimated to cost $3.5 million. \nEQUIPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, \u0026 CONSTRUCTION TRUST FUND \nThis lottery-funded initiative, first funded in the F.Y. 1994 budget, allows the University System of Georgia to address equipment, technology, and construction needs. This fund has provided for the purchase of needed equipment at the institutions, enabling them to expose their students to \n \nMiller Administration Capital Ontlay \u0026 Major Repair and Renovation Funds \n \nLottery Capital Outlay \n$119,127,123 \n \nTotal Funds: $1,175,767,563 \n \nMajor Rl1lair and Renovation $218,513,100 \n \nwould continue to serve as the administrative building for the college. The Governor recommends that this project be funded with $4.5 million in F.Y. 1998 bond funds. Phase I of the renovation was funded in F.Y. 1996 with $3.5 million in lottery funds. \nThe Governor is also recommending $359,000 in state general funds to plan and design the restoration of the Old Governor's Mansion on the campus of Georgia \n \nequipment that represents the latest \n \ntechnological \n \nadvancements. \n \nSpecifically, funds have been utilized \n \nto purchase advanced equipment for \n \nclassrooms, high technology research \n \nequipment and to build and equip \n \ntechnology related facilities. A system- \n \nwide match is required for fund \n \nprojects. The Governor recommends \n \n$15 million for the fund, once again \n \ndesignating $3 million for Unit \"B\" \n \nactivities. \n \n446 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nRESIDENT INSTRUCTION \n \nThe work ofthe University System \n \ncan be divided into three categories: \n \ninstruction, research, and service. \n \nPresently, the \"A\" Unit ofthe Regents' \n \nbudget, which funds resident \n \ninstruction at all of the 34 institutions, \n \nrepresents the largest commitment of \n \nmoney and personnel. The resident \n \ninstruction portion of the System \n \nbudget was $1,134,006,865 in F.Y. \n \n1997. The Governor's recommended \n \nappropriation for this part of the \n \nRegents' budget in F.Y. 1998 is \n \n$1,160,668,921. Resident instruction is \n \nformula-funded. \n \nThe formula \n \nrecognizes enrollment growth as a \n \nmajor factor in funding the system. \n \nThe F.Y. 1998 increase reflects a 1.7 \n \npercent increase in quarter credit hours. \n \nAnother component of the formula \n \naddresses funding for major repair and \n \nrehabilitation of all University System \n \nassets. The present formula funds these \n \nrepairs at .75 percent of the \n \nreplacement value of all assets, \n \ncurrently valued at $4,349,925,926. \n \nThe Governor's recommendation \n \nchanges the formula to .99 percent of \n \nthe current replacement value. \n \nThe \"A\" unit also contains funding \n \nfor Special Funding Initiatives, Forestry \n \nResearch, the Student Education \n \nEnrichment Program, the Office of \n \nMinority Business Enterprises and the \n \nResearch Consortium. \n \nRESEARCH \n \nMany of the items funded through \n \nthe \"B\" portion of the budget involve \n \nresearch and service activities at the \n \nSystem's institutions. The Governor \n \nrecommends that the \"B\" budget \n \nreceive $170,355,411 in state funds for \n \nF.Y. 1998. State funds for the Georgia \n \nPublic \n \nTelecommunications \n \nCommission are included in this \n \namount. \n \nResearch projects carried out at \n \nGeorgia's universities and colleges add \n \nto the prestige of the System. They \n \nalso have important economic benefits \n \nfor the state. For example, federal and \n \nprivate research dollars that are \n \nattracted by the units of the System \n \nmake an important contribution to \n \nGeorgia's economy. These funds are \n \noften matched by state funds provided \n \nfor research through the University \n \nSystem's budget. In this way, Georgia \n \ncreates opportunities for talented \n \nresearchers and teachers to pursue their \n \ninterests at one of its public institutions \n \nand reaps the benefits of pure and \n \napplied research activities. \n \nOne very important program \n \nfunded under the \"B\" budget is Georgia \n \nTech Research Institute (GTRl). GTRl \n \nis a nonprofit, customer-oriented \n \napplied research organization that not \n \nonly provides technical solutions to \n \nimportant issues and problems, but also \n \nproduces jobs and generates tax \n \nrevenue for the state. GTRl conducts \n \nscientific, engineering and industrial \n \nresearch for local, state, national, and \n \ninternational sponsors. GTRl's \n \neconomic importance stems from the \n \nout-of-state research dollars it attracts \n \nand spin-off companies created to \n \nmarket discoveries made at the \n \nInstitute. Twenty-six such companies \n \nhave been developed by current and \n \nformer GTRl employees. In F.Y. 1996, \n \nthe state invested $13 million in GTRl. \n \nDuring that period GTRl attracted an \n \nadditional $83 million in sponsored \n \nfunding. This year, the Governor \n \nrecommends $9,058,174 in state funds \n \nfor GTRl. This figure does not include \n \nfunding for the Economic Development \n \nInstitute, which has been transferred to \n \nthe \n \nAdvanced \n \nTechnology \n \nDevelopment Center line item to better \n \nreflect the economic development, \n \noutreach and service programs of \n \nGeorgia Tech. \n \nGEORGIA RESEARCH ALLIANCE (GRA) \nFocusing on the creation and development of a rich research climate and advanced technology industries in Georgia for the next century, GRA is a key component of Governor Miller's economic development strategy. From F.Y. 1993 through F.Y. 1997, Georgia \n \ninvested over $102 million in eminent \n \nscholars, research and development \n \nequipment, facilities and projects in \n \nadvanced \n \ncommunications, \n \nbiotechnology, and environmental \n \ntechnology. There is an additional $24 \n \nmillion invested in the Georgia Center \n \nfor Advanced Telecommunications \n \nTechnology (GCATT) building. This \n \non-going and long-term investment has \n \nalready led to an increase in funded \n \nresearch relationships between the \n \nUniversity System and Georgia \n \nindustry, research support (a \n \npreliminary analysis shows that the \n \neminent scholars brought in close to \n \n$50 million in other funds), and new \n \ninvention disclosures and licenses. Six \n \ncompanies have been started to date, \n \nwith more underway, and five other \n \ncompanies have moved to Georgia. \n \nFor F.Y. 1998, the Governor is \n \nrecommending $1.5 million in funding \n \nfor two eminent scholars, $500,000 for \n \nTechnology Development Investment \n \nprojects, and he recommends an \n \nadditional $28,000,000 in the F.Y. \n \n1997 amended budget for equipment \n \nand facilities. Per strategic area, the \n \nGovernor recommends $6,435,000 for \n \nadvanced communications, $5,643,100 \n \nfor environmental technology, and \n \n$17,171,900 for biotechnology. \n \nSERVICE Service activities provide \nassistance to individuals or groups outside the traditional academic classroom. Universities and colleges in the System offer instructional programs, advisory services, applied research and other activities to assist Georgians. The public service institutes which are funded in the \"A\" unit have been discussed previously, but many other service activities are funded through the \"B\" budget. \nThe Cooperative Ext~nsion Service, based at the University of Georgia, is one such program. The principal work ofthe Extension Service continues to be Georgia agriculture-embracing the food and fiber industries, horticulture, natural resources, and the \n \n447 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nenvironment. In addition, it has programs in home economics and youth work, the latter through the statewide 4H organization. The Extension \n \ntechnology initiative that will help improve the county delivery system and public access to vital information. \nA new county clustering plan \n \nF.Y. 1998 State Funds Recommendation - $155,682,783 \n \nIndustrial Development - 9.6% \n \nService's fundamental mISSIOn is \n \neducation, and its strength lies in a \n \nnetwork of knowledge distribution \n \nwhich stretches from the campus to the \n \nhomes, farms, and businesses of each \n \ncounty in the state. With its extensive \n \nlinkages to the federal government, it \n \ncan draw upon the resources of the \n \nUnited States Department of \n \nAgriculture and other federal agencies. \n \nBoth the agency request and Governor's \n \nrecommendation for F.Y. 1998 reflect \n \nan emphasis on agriculture. Major \n \nprovisions of the plan include a Center \n \nfor Horticulture, Ornamentals, and Turf \n \nin Griffm that will provide research and \n \ninformation \n \nto \n \ncommercial \n \norganizations and the public on the \n \nrapidly growing green industry, and \n \nfunding for a Center for Agriculture \n \nand Economic Development that \n \nrepresents a collaborative effort with \n \nthe Agricultural Experiment Stations. \n \nThe Governor has also proposed \n \n$250,000 in renovation funds for 4-H \n \ncamp facilities across the state, and a \n \nimplemented by the Cooperative Extension Service seeks to reaffirm the traditional mission of the agency and is expected to streamline management and maximize efficiency. The total state fund recommendation for the Cooperative Extension Service is $30,273,790, which reflects a 3.6 % decrease in state funds from F.Y. 1997. \nThe mission of the Agricultural Experiment Stations is to conduct research and provide information on the factors that influence agriculture in Georgia. The agency is concerned with the solution of problems affecting the agriculture industry, as well as the welfare of both agriculture and consumer groups. The F.Y. 1998 recommendation includes funding for new projects in vegetable and beef cattle feed research. Funding is included to expand both the Center for Food Safety and Quality Enhancement and the precision agriculture program. The Governor has also recommended funds for the Center for Agriculture and \n \nEconomic Development, as well as a new animal transgenics center. The completion of several long term research projects has led to a reduction in recommended state funds for the Agricultural Experiment Stations. The total F.Y. 1998 recommendation of $37,223,133 represents a 2.5% reduction in state funds from F.Y. 1997. \nSince 1970, the Marine Extension Service of the University of Georgia has worked to identifY problems related to Georgia's coastal and marine resources, to muster the expertise of the university community to address those problems, and to generate and disseminate information through its own applied research and communication program. With the recent implementation of GSAMS technology, the education mission and function of the marine agencies has experienced rapid growth. From October 1995 to May 1996, the Marine Extension Service used GSAMS capabilities to broadcast to 475 classes with 12,600 students taking part in marine science education experiences. \nAgriculture and aquaculture are not the only important elements of Georgia's economy. At the Georgia Tech Economic Development Institute (EDI), several initiatives are underway to attract new industry to the state and improve the competitiveness of small and medium size manufacturers. The mission of EDI is to provide highly visible, proactive management for Georgia Tech's economic development activities, to create a climate that encourages faculty and student participation in the economic development process, and to design programs that will advance the economic well-being and global competitiveness of Georgia, the region, and the nation. EDI has developed a Local Impact Model (LOCI) that provides communities with a knowledge based tool to determine objectives and complete measures of costs and benefits. More than 40 development projects in Georgia have \n \n448 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nused LOCI in the past year. The F.Y. 1998 recommendation includes moving ED! state funds from GTRI to the Advanced Technology Development Center line item. \nThe Advanced Technology Development Center at Georgia Tech seeks to stimulate the formation of technology-based companies and to assist in their growth and development. Since its inception in 1980, ATDC has assisted 125 new businesses, creating more than 1,700 jobs. Member and graduate client companies generated nearly $250 million in revenues last year. ATDC was recently named the \"1996 Incubator of the Year\" by the National Business Incubation Association, and also received the first annual Tibbets Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration. \nThe major focus of several Unit B agencies is medical research and education. The Joint Board of Family Practice develops and administers programs to increase the supply of primary care physicians in Georgia. They Joint Board also identifies specific areas of the state in need of primary care physicians and assists Georgia counties in their efforts to attract and retain these physicians. Specifically, the Joint Board administers family practice residency training programs, two pediatric residency programs, a family practice student preceptorship program, operating grants to the Mercer University School of Medicine and the Morehouse School of Medicine, and grants to medical institutions participating in the Southern Regional Education Board's Payments Program. \nThe Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics serve as the academic medical hospital for the University System and focus on meeting the medical and health care needs of the citizens of Georgia. The hospital and clinics have as their vision the support of health care services in local communities through various outreach initiatives which bring specialty consultation to a local \n \ncommunity through telemedicine or clinics sponsored by a local host institution. \nGOVERNOR'S TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIES PROGRAM \nThe mission of the Governor's Traditional Industries program is to improve the competitiveness of Georgia's traditional industries through the application of new technology and the development of solutions to critical process and environmental problems. Beginning in F.Y. 1994, three industries that represent over 40 percent of Georgia's manufacturing employment have been singled out by \n \ncollaborate to provide research, development, and technical assistance to these industries. Since the beginning of the initiative, the Governor has invested over $25 million. This funding has resulted in new research relationships, industry cost-matching, considerable cost-savings, new and/or improved products and processes, increased regulatory compliance, a safer environment, and in many cases new or saved jobs. Building on this success, the Governor recommends an additional $3,985,000 in general funds and $4,375,000 in bonds for the three industries. The Consortium on Competitiveness for the Apparel, \n \nAppropriation for Traditional Industries Research F.Y. 1994 - 1997 \n \n\" '-', '-~ \n \nApparel, Carpet, Textiles \" 21.5% \n'~ \n\\ \n \nGovernor Miller for this initiative: pulp and paper; textile, carpet and apparel; and food processing. These industries face the greatest competitive pressure from low-wage countries. A dynamic public-private partnership has emerged in each area, and industry members set research agendas, evaluate research proposals, contribute to projects, and make funding recommendations. Institutions within the University System of Georgia \n \nCarpet, and Textile Industries (CCACTI) has received state appropriations of $6,210,000 to date, and Governor Miller recommends an additional $1 million in general funds and $500,000 in bonds in F.Y. 1998. The Consortium for Techn~logical Competitiveness in Pulp and Paper has received state appropriations of $6,857,000, and the Governor recommends and additional $1,546,000 in general funds and $1,060,000 ir \n \n449 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA -- Strategies and Services \n \nbonds for F.Y. 1998. The Food \n \nProcessing Advisory Council \n \n(FoodPAC) has received appropriations \n \nof $5,635,000 plus an additional $7 \n \nmillion for a food safety building \n \nadditioR in Griffm. Governor Miller \n \nrecommends an additional $1,439,000 \n \nin general funds and $2,815,000 in \n \nbonds in F.Y. 1998, including $1.9 \n \nmillion for renovations to the Food \n \nScience and Technology building at \n \nthe University of Georgia, which will \n \nenhance the university's ability to assist \n \nindustry. Not technically part of the \n \nTraditional Industries program, but in a \n \nrelated area, the Governor recommends \n \n$140,000 \n \nfor the Advanced \n \nTechnology Development Center and \n \nthe Economic Development Institute to \n \nassist in the development of an \n \nAdvanced Food Technology Center at \n \nthe Genesis FoodPark in Thomasville. \n \nThe center will offer an incubator \n \ncomplex, a food processing laboratory, \n \nclassrooms, management and technical \n \nassistance, as well as research, \n \nengineering and consulting services. \n \nGEORGIA PUBLIC \n \nTELECOMMUNICA TION S \n \nCOMMISSION \n \nThe \n \nGeorgia \n \nPublic \n \nTelecommunications Commission \n \n(GPTC) is Unit \"C\" of the Regents' \n \nbudget. \n \nThe Governor is \n \nrecommending $14,672,628 in general \n \nfunds and $2,620,000 in lottery funds \n \nfor F.Y. 1998. \n \nSince its establishment in 1982, \n \nGPTC has pursued its mission: to \n \nenrich the quality of life in Georgia by \n \neffectively utilizing broadcast and \n \nrelated technologies to help people \n \nunderstand the world in which they \n \nlive. To carry out its mission, GPTC \n \noperates nine television stations and 13 \n \nradio stations statewide. \n \nGPTC is scheduled to begin \n \nmoving into its new facility in May \n \n1997. Located on 14th Street in \n \nAtlanta, and adjacent to the new \n \nGeorgia Center for Advanced \n \nTelecommunications Technology \n \n(GCATT), the new facility will be the \n \nfIrst public broadcasting facility in the nation with digital technology capabilities. The new facility will allow GPTV/PeachStar satellite programming to expand to 12 channels. Technical features of the new facility include three production studios with audience seating, six distance learning studios, three major post edit suites, and one major production suite. The facility will also contain a talk and live performance studio and two live production studios dedicated to Peach State Public Radio. In addition to broadcasting an extensive national program schedule provided by such agencies as the Public Broadcasting System and National Public Radio, member stations devote considerable resources to locally produced programs of interest to Georgia communities. Both the radio and television operations have produced programs for national distribution, giving Georgia considerable national exposure. \nAn important initiative of Governor Miller's has been to increase the educational programming shown over GPTC and PeachStar. The commission's daytime programming is almost completely educational in nature. Georgia possesses a strong distance learning infrastructure. In the F.Y. 1994 budget, every public school, regional library, college and technical institution statewide received lottery funds to purchase and install satellite dishes. This equipment allows each school to receive educational programming from over 25 satellites. GPTC also purchased a satellite transponder, allowing the state to broadcast educational programming to every Georgia school and any other institution statewide with a satellite dish. Distance learning programming has expanded educational opportunities for Georgia students. For example, students can take a fast paced Japanese course called Irrashai, with sensei (teacher) Tim Cook. The Governor is recommending $1,500,000 in lottery funds for the purchase of additional educational programming. \n \nNew programming opportunities will emerge with collaboration between the Fernbank Science Center and GPTC. The Governor recommends $1,120,000 in lottery funds be appropriated to construct a distance learning studio with a satellite uplink at Fernbank. This recommendation also includes remote equipment that can be used outside the studio. The package would allow satellite broadcast of educational programming from Fernbank, and schools could utilize the science centers' collection for fIeld trips as well as studio based programs. \nThe commission has purchased and produced programming to assist teachers and other faculty in their professional development. A special emphasis of the staff development programming is helping teachers understand how to use multi-media in the classroom. Teleconferences expose local school personnel to state and national experts from a variety of fIelds--experts individual schools could not easily afford. Such programs can be used to fulfIll requirements for certifIcate renewal. \n \n450 \n \n REGENTS, UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nRESIDENT INSTRUCTION - INSTRUCTION \nPURPOSE: Stimulate Georgians' aspirations for higher education, and prepare Georgia students for leadership roles, responsible citizenship, employment and lifelong education in an ever changing world by providing quality educational programs in a broad range of disciplines leading to associate, baccalaureate, master and doctoral degrees. \nGOALS Increase the number of educated Georgians.

State government depends on the department's ability to ensure that the proper amounts of taxes are paid and collected. \nRecognizing the importance of the department's functions, the Governor authorized an extensive study of the department's operations in F.Y. 1997. The result of this analysis is the \"Blueprint for Modernization\", a plan to modernize the department's management and computer systems. To begin implementing the fIrst phase of this plan, the Governor has recommended a total of $21,337,500. Of this amount, $15,154,832 is recommended in the F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget and $6,182,668 in F.Y.1998. \nMODERNIZATION The \"Blueprint for Modernization\" \noutlines the steps that must be taken to improve the effIciency and effectiveness of the department. \nThe Governor supports the report's call for innovative management approaches, new and upgraded technologies, and a better prepared workforce. The department must have the tools to do the following: \n provide accurate, fair and costeffective administration of the state's tax, tag and title laws; \n furnish individuals and businesses with prompt, courteous service; \n process all transactions for state and local governments in a businesslike and timely manner; and \n ensure that all automated and manual systems contain adequate audit trails, balancing controls and other appropriate internal controls. \nImplementing the recommendations made in the \"Blueprint for Modernization\" will result in improved customer service, effIcient operations, and increased performance and accountability. \n \nRETURNS PROCESSING The Department of Revenue receives \nand processes millions of tax returns and payments from individuals and businesses. In F.Y. 1996, the department processed 3.2 million \n \nmanpower requirements, provide convenient service and improve effIciency and reduce errors. \nProcessing returns that are submitted electronically is the most cost-effective and effIcient manner. The study found \n \nF.Y. 1996 Monthly Volume of Returns \n1,200,000 \n \n1,000,000 \n \n800,000 \n \n:... \n \n600,000 \n \n:...: \n \n1 I.Ij~ i l 400,000 .I.ul.u. \n \ni \n \n. 200,000 i'[; .~ q.~ m;~. :::\\~ iii .~ ::~--'-r'--'--,l/-\\. l ..-Lf----L-TLJ \n \nJul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Joo \n \nindividual tax returns, 200,000 that the cost of processing returns \n \ncorporate returns, 1.4 million manually is 1.5 times greater than \n \nwithholding returns, and 1.5 million processing returns fIled electronically. \n \nsales tax returns. \n \nThe goal of department is to focus on \n \nCurrently, the department processes increasing the number of returns fIled \n \nthese documents in a labor and paper electronically in the long term while \n \nintensive manner. InF.Y. \n \n1996, the department \n \nprocessed 96% of tax \n \nreturns using manual data entry and only 4% were \n \nCost to Process Returns \n \nfIled electronically. Data \n \nentry is performed \n \nprimarily by full and part- \n \nElectronic Filing -: \n \ntime temporary workers. \n \nThe department has \n \nbegun to develop and \n \nimplement information \n \ntechnology initiatives \n \ndesigned to streamline \n \nManual Data Entry -.. \n \n$3.26 \n \nand increase the \n \nautomation of the returns \n \nprocess. Two of these \n \ninitiatives are imaging \n \nand electronic fIling. \n \nThese efforts will reduce \n \ncurrent and future \n \n462 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE -- Strategies and Services \n \nusing imaging technology to process returns in the short term. \n \nIMAGING \n \nThe department initiated a project to \n \ndevelop an imaging system for tax \n \nprocessing in F.Y. 1997. The new \n \nsystem works by capturing an image of \n \na tax return, check and enclosures as \n \nthey are received. The images are \n \nstored as permanent documents and \n \ndata is extracted to update the tax data \n \nfiles. This new process reduces the \n \npaper handling steps from 15 to 6 steps, \n \nreduces data entry \n \nand \n \nstorage \n \nrequirements, and \n \neliminates \n \nmicrofilmin g \n \nexpenses. Finally, \n \nstreamlining the \n \ndepartment's tax \n \nprocessing operations \n \nwill result in \n \ntaxpayers receiving \n \ntheir tax refunds in \n \ntwo weeks versus an \n \naverage of 45 days \n \nnow. \n \nJOINT \n \nELECTRONIC \n \nFILING \n \nThe department has \n \njoined 32 other states \n \nparticipating in the \n \nJoint Electronic \n \nFiling Program in \n \ncooperation with the \n \nInternal Revenue \n \nService. In 1995, the \n \ndepartment \n \nconducted \n \na \n \nsuccessful \n \npilot \n \nproject to accept \n \nelectronic filing of its \n \nemployees' state \n \nincome tax returns. \n \nIn 1996, the program was expanded \n \nto full year residents with refund \n \nreturns. The program was successful \n \nand 267,000 taxpayers were able file \n \ntheir state income tax information \n \nelectronically. In 1997, the program is \n \nexpected to attract even more participants. The department benefits because electronic filing eliminates the need to manually handle the return, reduces errors, and improves processing times. The taxpayer benefits because the department is able to issue refunds faster. INTEGRATED TAX SYSTEMS \nIn previous years, each of the department's tax systems operated independently although, in many instances, they were dealing with the \nBreakdown of Tax Returns \nby Processing Method - 1996 Electronic Filing 4% \nData Entry 96% \nProjected Breakdown of Tax Returns \nby Processing Method - 2000 \nElectronic Filing 34% \nImaging 46% \nsame taxpayers. These various tax systems shared little, if any, information even though the data gathered concerning the taxpayer and the methods for processing this data were similar. Operating independent \n \nsystems resulted III inconsistent \n \ninformation being retained by the \n \ndepartment, hampered the delinquent \n \ntax collection effort, and allowed \n \nrefunds to go to taxpayers who had \n \nliabilities in other tax types. \n \nThe department is working towards \n \nthe integration of all tax systems into a \n \ncomprehensive computer system. So \n \nfar, the Centralized Taxpayers \n \nRegistration (CTR) and the Centralized \n \nTaxpayer Accounting (CTA) systems \n \nhave been completed. The CTR system \n \ncontains name, address, and registration \n \ninformation for \n \nevery individual \n \ntaxpayers, as \n \nwell as every \n \nbusiness taxpayer \n \nin the state. The \n \nCTR system \n \nprovides a single \n \npoint of contact \n \nfor businesses to \n \nregister for taxes. \n \nThe \n \nCTA \n \napplication \n \nconsolidates all \n \nrefund \n \nand \n \nassessment \n \ninformation for a \n \ntaxpayer in a \n \nsingle data base. \n \nThe department \n \nis able to offset \n \ntaxes owed in \n \none tax area \n \nagainst refunds \n \ndue in another \n \narea. The CTA \n \nsystem accounts \n \nfor all potential \n \nand \n \nreal \n \nliabilities due to \n \nthe State for ail \n \ntaxes, \n \nand \n \nrecords and \n \nissues all refunds \n \nand credit notices. The CTA system \n \nalso creates all accounts receivable and \n \naccounts payable notices and \n \ndelinquent notices. \n \n463 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nTAX PROCESSING, COLLECTIONS AND COMPLIANCE PURPOSE: Collect all taxes due to the State of Georgia in a prompt and equitable manner. \nGOALS Administer the state's tax laws in an accurate, fair and cost-effective manner.

The evaluation will allow the agency to set its future direction in the management of information with regards to new technology, data distribution, and document imaging. Existing systems and business procedures will be evaluated to determine how their functionality can be improved to lower costs and improve performance. \nMany separate systems have been built for the office by separate teams. The office is converting those systems so that there is a cohesiveness throughout the computer system. Through the integration of the systems, the office will be able to : \no Provide prompt service. o Transmit an accurate response to external users such as governmental agencies and public. o Allow electronic access and filings to the systems by the public. o Accept electronic payments for fees and fines. \nNATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION ACT \nIn 1993, Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act to address perceived problems in the election system of the United States.

The commission's primary responsibilities include: \n Qverseeing the administration ofthe commission.  Coordinating Georgia's 40 Soil and Water Conservation Districts.  Providing educational programs on the conservation of state soil and water resources.  Developing and implementing conservation programs.  Reviewing and approving watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.  Assisting and guiding districts and other entities with provisions under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975.  Providing information on the prevention of agricultual non-point pollution. In 1996, the commission was successful in preventing the erosion of 2.4 million tons of soil through its conservation programs. Additionally, 8,357 erosion and control plans were reviewed under the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975 and 533,455 acres ofGeorgia land received conservation treatment. The commision itself is comprised of five members (one of whom is designated chairman). The members are appointed by the Governor to five-year terms. Members act in an advisory capacity to guide and direct commission activities. \n \nThe commission has two divisions: \nCOMMISSION AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION The division is responsible for ensuring that the policies \nand programs ofthe commission are carried out. This includes providing administrative, clerical and limited technical support to the 40 State Conservation Districts and their 370 district supervisors. \nDISTRICT REGIONAL AND OFFICE OPERATIONS The division is primarily responsible for providing field \nsupport to districts; providing technical assistance to landowners and governmental units; reviewing erosion and sediment control plans submitted for land disturbing activities; and assisting groups and individuals in urban and rural settings in applying conservation practices. The division also provides demonstration projects, tours and seminars on recycling, composting, agricultural non-point pollution and other conservation practices. \nAUTHORITY Title 2 ofthe Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n484 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \n~ Georgia's total \n= - .area is about 37.7 \nmillion total acres36.7 million acres of land and about one million acres of water. The programs and services provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission help protect these valuable resources. Urban development, increased rural development and concern for the environment make the conservation of state natural resources necessary. Developing and implementing conservation practices are the basis for most ofthe commission's programs and services which include providing assistance to landowners and local governments, reviewing erosion control plans and protecting soil using resource management systems. As the federal government decreases support to landowners for soil and water conservation services, the state has sought and will continue to seek means to provide these services in a cost effective manner. For F.Y. 1998, the Resource Specialist Program focuses on providing these services. For the long term, this approach should provide a better distribution of service throughout the state than the County Conservation Grant Program. \nRESOURCE SPECIALIST PROGRAM \nIn F.Y. 1997, two resource specialists were funded to assist with conservation work in the commission's Rome and Milledgeville regional offices. For F.Y. 1998, the Governor has recommended funding for phase two of the Resource Specialist Program. Two additional specialists will be placed in the commission's Athens and Statesboro regional offices. These four specialists will review erosion and sediment control plans, respond to erosion and sediment control complaints, assist with implementing waste management plans and provide other needed technical support to the regional representatives. \nFunding for the Resource Specialist \n \nProgram comes from the redirection of funds in the County Conservation Grant Program. Established in 1987 to help federal farm aid recipients meet the requirements ofthe 1985 Food Security Act, the program successfully met all the original goals by 1995. The F.Y. 1998 funding level for the County Conservation Grant Program is $221,349 and covers the costs for 20 positions. \nThe County Conservation Grant Program will continue to be scaled down as vacancies occur, but it will still provide valuable support to those involved in soil and water conservation until the Resource Specialist Program is fully phased-in at all commission regional offices. \nWATERSHEDS Watershed dams halt flooding, \nprevent soil erosion and improve water quality over an entire drainage unit. Their size can be several hundred acres to many square miles. Georgia's watersheds were built under the federal small watershed program. After their completion, the federal government relinquished responsibility for the watersheds to the soil and water conservation districts. Districts serve as sponsors or co-sponsors of 354 watersheds and are responsible for their operation and maintenance. \nThe commission reviews and approves watershed project applications under the federal Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. The act provides for the development of multipurpose projects aimed at flood control and sediment reduction. Upon approval, the commission establishes priorities for each project. \nWatershed projects serve as experimental stations for evaluating the effectiveness of best management practices. One successful activity is the Piedmont Lagoon Maintenance and Waste Utilization Project. This project involves two dairy farms in Greene and Oglethorpe County. The project's objectives are to improve the water \n \nquality leaving the farms, to demonstrate the proper utilization and management of nutrients in animal waste to produce forages for farm operations and to determine the quality of surface and groundwater when drainage collection techniques are employed under loafing areas where dairy cattle are confined. \nIn F.Y. 1996, $2,345,000 in G.O. bonds were appropriated for major structural upgrades to two priority Category 1 watershed dams sponsored by local governments or soil and water conservation districts. For F.Y. 1998, the Governor is recommending $1,495,000 in G.O. bonds for continued upgrades to Category 1 watershed dams. \n \nEROSION AND SEDIMENT \n \nCONTROL \n \nDamage from urban erosion is \n \ndifficult to assess. The effects are almost \n \nalways removed from the site of the \n \nerosion. While figures are not widely \n \navailable, erosion from denuded \n \nconstruction sites on Georgia soils can \n \nexceed 200 tons of topsoil per acre per \n \nyear. \n \nIn 1975, the Erosion and \n \nSedimentation Control Act was passed \n \nto control serious soil erosion from \n \ndevelopment sites. The act requires that \n \nall cities and counties adopt erosion and \n \nsediment control ordinances. \n \nConservation districts review the erosion \n \nand sediment control plans submitted by \n \nthese cities and counties. Districts also \n \ndevelop \n \nMemorandums \n \nof \n \nUnderstanding with local governments \n \nwho act as issuing authorities for land \n \ndisturbing permits. \n \nAlthough the primary focus of the \n \nerosion and sedimentation program is \n \nplan review, the commission is involved \n \nin other activities. The agency's erosion \n \nand sediment control specialists conduct \n \ntraining programs, assist counties with \n \nordinance updates and conduct seminars. \n \nIts Handbook for Erosion and Sediment \n \nControl is an accepted reference \n \nstandard for erosion and sedimentation \n \nimplementation in Georgia. \n \n485 \n \n STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION COMMISSION Results-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nSOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION ASSISTANCE \nPURPOSE: Provide technical and administrative assistance to the districts so that the districts can assist land owners with soil erosion prevention and water quality protection. \nGOALS Furnish technical assistance to the districts.

Those programs funded through the commission include the Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program, other educational scholarship and grant programs supported by both lottery proceeds and state general fund appropriations, and the Governor's Scholarship Program for the Department of Education. \nGEORGIA HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE CORPORATION \nThe Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit public corporation of the state and is responsible for administering a program of guaranteed educational loans to eligible students and parents in accordance with state law and the requirements of the Federal Higher Education Loan Act. In F.Y. 1996, over 53,500 new loans for eligible students and parents were guaranteed by the corporation. The value of those loans exceeded $168 million. Purchases of defaulted loans totaled over $22 million. Approximately $15 million was recovered from loans that were purchased and placed in the default collection process. \nGEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE AUTHORITY \nThe Georgia Student Finance Authority, a nonprofit public corporation of the state, is responsible for providing \n \nstudent fmancial aid to eligible Georgians through loan, scholarship and grant assistance programs as prescribed by the General Assembly. In F.Y. 1996, the authority disbursed over $36 million in state general funds and agency revenues for over 36,000 students and over $147,000,000 in HOPE Scholarship and other lottery funded grant and scholarship programs for over 120,000 students. \nThe authority is also authorized to be a lender under the Georgia Higher Education Loan Program. In F.Y. 1996, over $50 million in student loans were originated by the authority and the total value ofloans serviced exceeded $300 million. \nThe authority has the responsibility of performing all management, supervisory, clerical and administrative functions required by the corporation and the commission. The authority also provides administrative and operational support services, at no state cost, to the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC), which is attached for administrative purposes. \nATTACHED AGENCY \nThe Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission is responsible for regulating private postsecondary schools operating in this state in order to protect the financial investments of Georgians participating in their programs. \nAUTHORITY \nO.C.G.A. 20-3-230 et.seq., 20-3-250 et.seq., 20-3-260 et.seq. and 20-3-310 et.seq. \n \n495 \n \n GEORGIA STUDENT FINANCE COMMISSION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe continued growth and development of Georgia is directly related to the degree to which educational opportunities are provided to all citizens. It is in the public interest to sustain our public and private postsecondary institutions because of their value in promoting the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Georgians. \nThe Georgia educational loan program was created to both expand educational opportunities available to all Georgians as well as to ensure the continued economic viability of our postsecondary institutions. In addition to administering the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), Georgia also provides state funds to support service-cancelable loans and a variety of scholarship and grant programs. \n \nFEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM \n \nThe Georgia Higher Education \n \nAssistance Corporation administers \n \nfederally guaranteed education loan \n \nprograms. Through these programs, \n \nparticipating commercial lenders, as \n \nwell as the Georgia Student Finance \n \nAuthority, make educational loans to \n \nstudents and the parents of students \n \nwho need fmancial assistance to \n \ncontinue their education after high \n \nschool. \n \nFor these loans, the corporation \n \nserves as the \"guarantor\" to the lenders. \n \nIf for any reason the borrower does not \n \nrepay the lending institution, the \n \ncorporation pays the lender an amount \n \nprescribed by federal regulation and \n \nassumes the obligation for collecting \n \nthe remaining debt. Since these \n \nprograms are federally supported, the \n \nfederal government will reimburse the \n \ncorporation for most of the defaults \n \nwhich are purchased from lenders. \n \nThe federally guaranteed loan \n \nprograms are: \n \nSUBSIDIZED \n \nFEDERAL \n \nSTAFFORD LOAN PROGRAM-- A \n \nneed based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The loan amount depends on the student's financial need, the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school, during the grace period and any deferment periods. Repayment of the loan must begin within six months following graduation or termination from school. \nUNSUBSIDIZED FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN PROGRAM-- A non-need based loan program for eligible students attending colleges, vocational, technical, trade or business schools throughout the nation. The borrower is responsible for all interest which accrues from the date the money is disbursed. Repayment of the loan must begin within six months following graduation or termination from school. \nFEDERAL \"PLUS\" LOAN PROGRAM-- Provides loans to parents of dependent undergraduate or graduate students to help pay for postsecondary education costs. The loan amount depends on the cost of attending the school and other financial aid awarded. Repayment of the loan plus interest must begin within 60 days of receiving the funds. \nSTATE EDUCATIONAL LOAN PROGRAM \nThe Georgia Student Finance Authority is the legal entity which actually serves as the lender (or limited purpose \"bank\") for about one-third of the student loans in Georgia. The authority provides loans to help students and parents meet the costs of higher education. As a FFELP lender, the authority makes loans to students and parents that are repayable in regular monthly installments and offers service cancellation benefits in Georgia on eligible Federal Stafford loans. Service cancelable loans help students \n \npreparing for professions in which there is a critical manpower shortage in Georgia. Eligible borrowers may cancel their loans by working in their approved field in Georgia. \nState funds appropriated to the commission as \"Guaranteed Educational Loans\" are paid to the authority to support this program. The authority expects to make 1,932 loans in F.Y. 1998 with the $4,739,075 recommended. \n \nGRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS \n \nState, federal and other funds are \n \nappropriated to the commission in \n \nseveral unique object classes to support \n \nthe grant and scholarship programs of \n \nthe authority. These programs are as \n \nfollows: \n \nSTUDENT \n \nINCENTIVE \n \nGRANT-- Non-repayable educational \n \ngrants to Georgia citizens enrolled as \n \nundergraduate students in approved \n \nnon-profit postsecondary schools in \n \nGeorgia. These grants are based on \n \nneed and average $500 per academic \n \nyear. This program is being phased out \n \nbeginning in F.Y. 1997.

In addition to ongoing programs which prepare high quality graduates, the department provides opportunities for lifelong education and training, basic skills and technical training for existing employment opportunities, as well as customized training responsive to the needs of business and industry for a technically trained and competitive workforce. The department is divided into five functional units described below. \nADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES The Administrative Services function provides support and \nmanagement services for the 30 state-governed and three locally-governed technical institutes in the areas of budgeting, accounting, electronic data processing, personnel, public information, facilities management and policy planning. They also provide evaluation, curriculum development, staff development, student support, certification and technical assistance related to state and federal programs and policies. \nTECHNICAL EDUCATION The Technical Education function in Atlanta's central office \nprovides assistance to the state's public technical institutes through institution and program standards, surveys and needs assessments; institution and program evaluations and curriculum development; professional development for staff and faculty; coordination of institutional effectiveness systems; and the provision oftechnical aid regarding admissions, scholarships, financial aid and federal programs. \nThe department manages the operations of state technical institutes, and provides standards, assistance and policy guidance to three locally-owned technical institutes and the technical divisions offour college programs. Students attending technical institutes have the option of 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 institutes respond to the needs ofbusiness and industry by providing a variety of short-term, industry-specific courses customized to fit specific business demands. These courses are designed in close coordination with the companies requesting the training. In F.Y. 1996,74,907 students were enrolled in credit programs and 11,446 received a degree, diploma or technical certificate. \nQUICK START Quick Start provides employee training services to new and \nexpanding industries at no cost, and provides limited training assistance to non-expanding industries in conjunction with \n \ntechnical schools. In helping achieve the department's goal of becoming a major source of skilled employees for the private sector, Quick Start has trained thousands of Georgians for specific jobs needed by companies. Quick Start develops computerized materials and training packages in a number of technical areas that can be readily adapted to specific customer training needs. Quick Start plays a key role in the state's recruitment and retention efforts. \nADULT LITERACY The Office of Adult Literacy is responsible for offering \nadult basic education and literacy programs around the state, including the General Educational Development (GED) diploma program. The office provides literacy services to the clients of other state agencies such as Corrections and Human Resources and provides a variety of literacy programs at the local level. This office is also the primary fiscal agent for the U.S. Department of Education's Adult Literacy funds. Through its network of 36 Service Delivery Areas around the state, the office provides literacy services to every county in Georgia and by F.Y. 1998 will have at least one full-time literacy teacher in every county. \nPUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES The Office of Public Library Services was transferred by \nlegislative act effective July 1, 1996 from the Department of Education to the Department ofTechnical and Adult Education. The Office of Public Library Services provides assistance and information to 56 public library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition to operating the state's Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. \nBACKGROUND The Quality Basic Education Act of 1985 created a separate \nState 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 post-secondary technical .schools, programs and services. The new board was created as an agency separate from the Department of Education in 1987 to provide guidance to public technical institutes operated by the state or by local boards of education. The board was renamed the State Board of Technical and Adult Education in 1988 to govern the newly created Department of Technical and Adult Education. DeKalb Tech completed its conversion to state ownership in F.Y. 1997, and a new technical instimte in Sandersville also opened in F.Y. 1997, providing Georgia with 30 state-governed and three locally-governed public technical institutes. \nAUTHORITY Title 20 ofthe Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n517 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nNational and international trends point to the need for greater emphasis on training and retraining to ensure high skills ,and high wages for workers in Georgia. The technological nature of new occupations and the increasing demand by employers for highly trained and literate workers have and will continue to create greater demand for technical education, customized industry training and various forms of upgrade training. \nNew technology is essential for technical education in today's world and Governor Miller has recommended unprecedented levels of funding for new equipment. Over $69 million has been appropriated to date to replace obsolete equipment and to provide equipment for new programs and new facilities, with lottery proceeds accounting for $57.4 million of this equipment. In F.Y. 1993 alone, Govemor Miller earmarked $16.5 million in lottery funds to provide $500,000 to each of the technical institutes to replace obsolete equipment. \nThe Governor is recommending an additional $16,004,158 in lottery proceeds in the F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget to equip facilities that will be opening in F.Y. 1997 and 1998. An additional $1.5 million in lottery proceeds is being recommended in the F.Y. 1997 Amended Budget to replace obsolete instructional equipment. The Governor's recommendations for F.Y. 1998 include $3.5 million in lottery proceeds to replace obsolete instructional equipment. The Governor is also recommending lottery funding to complete the linkage of all counties with public libraries to GALILEO, the University System's new statewide electronic library. \nTo fund its operations as well as new facility openings, the department's budget has increased from $118,631,375 in F.Y. 1992 to the recommended level of$210,437,303 in F.Y. 1998 - a 77 percent increase totaling $91.6 million in only six years while student enrollment in credit programs during this same period \n \nincreased 35 percent. The number of full-time equivalent faculty added to the department has increased during this same time by 376 positions, including 97 as part of DeKalb Tech's conversion to state ownership. An additional 310 nonfaculty full-time equivalent positions who provide staff support at the technical institutes has also been added, including 109 from DeKalb Tech. Combined, the number of faculty and staff has increased by 36 percent at the technical institutes in five years. Governor Miller is recommending $1,641,740 in state funds in F.Y. 1998 to begin the first year of a two-year phase-in to bring Atlanta and Savannah technical institutes under state management. \nFACILITY CONSTRUCTION During the Miller Administration, \nover $188 million has been appropriated for the planning, design and construction of new technical institute facilities in Georgia. Of this amount, over $81 million came from lottery proceeds. This level of investment in technical education facilities in Georgia is unprecedented. \nSatellite centers were begun by Governor Miller in F.Y. 1993 to provide a limited number oftechnical programs \n \nat the local level while reducing the administrative costs of running a standalone technical institute. A total of $89,081,482 has been appropriated for 17 satellites through the F.Y. 1997 budget, with $80,706,482 ofthese funds coming from lottery proceeds. Two satellites have already opened as of December 1996 with six scheduled to open during the remainder ofF.Y. 1997 and seven more scheduled to open in F.Y. 1998. An additional $15,500,000 has been recommended in F.Y. 1998 for the construction of the Augusta TechBurke County satellite and the construction of new buildings at the Heart of Georgia-Dublin and Ogeechee Technical Institutes. The Governor has also recommended $9 million in G.O. bonds to continue a multi-year facility repair, renovation and maintenance program for the technical institute system. \nTECHNICAL EDUCATION The number of students enrolled at \ntechnical institutes has increased steadily over the past several years. In F.Y. 1989, nearly 138,000 students were enrolled in credit and non-credit programs. By F.Y. 1996 that number had climbed to 226,972, an increase of 64 percent. The number of certificate \n \n518 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nprograms during this same period has climbed from 31,647 to 74,907, an increase of 137 percent. Enrollment in credit programs has increased by an average of eight percent per year from F.Y. 1993 to F.Y. 1996. Enrollment has continued to expand in F.Y. 1997 as the number of students enrolled in Fall Quarter 1996 has shown a six percent increase over Fall Quarter 1995. \nThe advent of the HOPE Scholarship program has given students added incentive to attend a technical institute. HOPE allows any student, regardless of high school grades or income level, to enroll in a credit program at a technical institute tuitionfree, provides a $100 per quarter book allowance, and pays for several types of student fees. An estimated 60 percent of the students enrolled in credit programs at technical institute are recipients of HOPE scholarships. A total of $26.6 million from HOPE is projected to be paid to the department in F.Y. 1998 for technical institute student expenses, including $15.1 million for tuition. \nAnother reason for the steady increase in enrollment is the technical certificate of credit. The technical certificate, awarded for completion of programs of from 15 to 59 credit hours (one to three quarters of school), was implemented in F.Y. 1993 to enable technical institutes to prepare students for employment in certain skilled occupations. Most or all of the credit earned may be applied to diploma or degree programs. As of November 1996, over 365 different technical certificate programs had been developed. \nRecent developments promise to have significant impact on technical education in the future. Distance Learning technology is being integrated into the classrooms and offices of Georgia's technical institutes as an efficient way to integrate technical institutes, adult literacy centers and business/industry components to deliver statewide academic and community instructional services to citizens in classrooms and remote locations. All of the technical institutes have been \n \nconnected to the distance learning \n \nInformation Services Network to support \n \ndistance learning and academic \n \ntechnology. \n \nOther developments are the Tech \n \nPrep and Youth Apprenticeship \n \nprograms. Both, developed in \n \nconjunction with the Department of \n \nEducation, are designed to ease the \n \ntransition of high school students to \n \npostsecondary institutions. Tech Prep \n \nprograms are four-year programs that \n \ninclude two years ofhigh school and two \n \nyears beyond high school to prepare \n \nstudents for a career. \n \nYouth \n \napprenticeship programs combine \n \ncampus-based and work-based \n \ncomponents during both the secondary \n \nand postsecondary years. In both \n \nprograms the high school phase helps \n \nensure that graduates are fully prepared \n \nfor postsecondary study and enables \n \nthem to pursue a postsecondary program \n \nwithout duplicating course content. By \n \nthe beginning of F.Y. 1997, Georgia \n \nhad a total of 347 Tech Prep career \n \nprogram projects involving all of the \n \ntechnical institutes, 14. colleges and 167 \n \nof 180 secondary school systems. \n \nThe department has participated \n \nover the last 11 years in New \n \nConnections to Work, a program \n \noperated in collaboration with the \n \nDepartment of Human Resources \n \n(DHR), other state and local agencies, \n \nand the business community. The \n \nprogram seeks to promote economic self-sufficiency for single parents, displaced homemakers and single pregnant women. The program has expanded in response to Georgia's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the state's initiative to reduce the welfare rolls. Program services include workshops, skills training, job searches and help with support services such as transportation and dependent care. \nOFFICE OF ADULT LITERACY Adult literacy affects the quality of \nlife in every American community. Studies indicate that 90 million adults in America have limited literacy skills. In Georgia alone, over 1.3 million adults need literacy services. Employment opportunities require employees who can perform in technologically advanced manufacturing and service sectors. The Office ofAdult Literacy is instrumental in improving the literacy rate among Georgia's adult population. \nFiscal Year 1998 will see the completion of Governor Miller's pledge to place one full-time adult literacy teacher in every Georgia county. A total of$8,621,000 has been spent to date to hire 133 teachers and purchase 1,090 computers for pupil instruction. The Governor's F.Y. 1998 recommendation provides an additional $1,040,000 for 26 teachers and $1,040,000 in lottery funds \n \nGED Diplomas Awarded \n \n1990 \n \n1991 \n \n1992 \n \n1993 \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \nCalendar Year \n \n519 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nfor equipment to support the teachers. The F.Y. 1998 recommendation increases the number offull-time literacy teachers to 159, or one for each of Georgia's counties. \n. Since 1992 the office has received an additional $3.3 million for a number of projects and initiatives including major initiatives such as:  $381,664 for the Certified Literate Community Program. This program utilizes a community's existing agencies and activities to serve as the uniting force for literacy. There are 31 communities designated Certified Literate Participants. \n$2,618,640 for the Satellite Literacy Project. Located on the Georgia Tech campus, this project provides information, training and technical assistance to all who are interested in providing literacy services. The instruction originates in front of a live class and is broadcast by satellite television to 106 classes in 69 locations. \nThe Governor's F.Y. 1998 recommendations include $171,762 in redirected funds to create a Literacy Information System which will give the department the ability to collect and analyze program information needed for effective management of the program and for federal reporting requirements. \nIn addition to these projects and initiatives, the Office of Adult Literacy provides General Educational Development (GED) preparation classes in each of its Service Delivery Areas. In 1995, 21,166 Georgians received their GED. This placed Georgia fifth in the nation in the number of GEDs issued behind only Texas, California, New York and Florida. In 1996, the Office of Adult Literacy pledges to award 22,500 GEDs. Additionally, the GED ON TV \n \nprogram offers 43 thirty-minute programs to help adults study at home. Aired on Georgia's nine Public Television stations, this program gives students access without leaving their homes. \nQUICK START Since 1967 Quick Start has served \nas a state incentive for job creation and economic growth through the recruitment of new businesses and industries into Georgia as well as an incentive to encourage the expansion of existing Georgia companies. It also serves as a vital component ofthe state's industry retention initiative by encouraging new capital investment by the state's existing industry base. \nQuick Start's budget during the Miller Administration has increased from $5,927,866 in F.Y. 1992 to the recommended level of $8,243,319 in F.Y. 1998, a 39% increase. During the past 29 years, Quick Start trained over 200,000 employees for over 2,500 businesses and industries. Training areas include manufacturing operations, warehousing and distribution, information technologies, and customer service operations. in keeping with the contemporary training needs for companies which are increasingly competing in an international marketplace, Quick Start offers premiere training in productivity enhancement and human resource development concepts. \nOFFICE OF PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES \nThe Office of Public Library Services was transferred by legislative act effective F.Y. 1997 from the Department of Education to the Department of Technical and Adult \n \nEducation. The Office ofPublic Library Services provides assistance and information to 56 public library systems that operate 370 public libraries statewide, in addition to operating the state's Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. A total of269 of the approximately 1,400 public librarians statewide are supported with state funds. The number of librarians assigned to each regional library system is determined by the population of that system. The state also gives each library system funding for materials and for maintenance and operations based on population. The department's F.Y. 1998 budget request for Public Libraries redirected library materials funding to fully fund the salary costs of public librarians and to fund partial year costs for the expansion ofGALILEO (Georgia Libraries Learning Online) to additional libraries (see discussion of GALILEO below). However, the Governor instead recommends redirecting funds from library maintenance and operations rather than materials. Libraries are using maintenance and operations funds to help pay for local staffsalaries and salary supplements, computer equipment, furniture, consultant services, staff training and development as well as materials, items which could be more appropriately supported by local funds. \nState funds were appropriated in F.Y. 1996 to put PeachNet and access to GALILEO at one site in each of the 56 regional library systems. PeachNet and GALILEO, operated by the Board of Regents, provide access to the Internet and online databases. The F.Y. 1998 budget recommendations for Public Libraries include funding to connect the remaining 101 counties with public libraries to PeachNet and GALILEO. \n \n520 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION -- Strategies and Services \nNEW BUILDINGS DURING THE MILLER ADMINSTRATION \n \nTechnical Institute Ben Hill-Irwin Coosa Valley Albany Griffin West Georgia Augusta Macon North Georgia Heart of Georgia-Dublin Heart of Georgia-Eastman Swainsboro Carroll-Douglasville Chattahoochee Pickens South Georgia Athens Columbus Flint River Sandersville Albany Chattahoochee-Paulding County Augusta Walker Lanier Thomas Okefenokee Valdosta Coosa Valley-Gordon County Middle Georgia DeKalb-Covington' Ben Hill-Coffee County Macon-Milledgeville Athens-Elbert County Augusta-McDuffie County Moultrie-Tift County Heart of Georgia-Eastman Altamaha-Appling County Albany-Early County South Georgia-Crisp County North Georgia-Union County Coosa Valley-Polk County \nCoosa Valley-Gordon County Phase II Augusta-Burke County Ogeechee Heart of Georgia-Dublin \nTotal \n \nProject Classroom Classroom Industrial Technology Center Classroom Economic Development Center Library/Conference Center Aerospace Industrial Training Center Health Occupations Aerospace Classroom Satellite Classroom Economic Development Center Transportation Center Academic/Classroom Library/Multipurpose Multipurpose New Technical Institute Classroom Satellite Automated Mfg Technology Center Library!Lecture Classroom Allied Health Bldg Classroom Multipurpose Satellite Relocation of Campus Satellite Satellite Satellite Satellite Satellite Satellite Expansion Satellite Satellite Satellite Satellite Satellite \nSatellite Satellite Health Occupations Business Center \n \nPreviously Appropriated 2,003,000 2,887,000 1,052,000 1,298,000 4,300,000 4,988,000 5,600,000 1,027,000 1,020,000 2,975,000 2,005,000 8,350,000 3,743,000 1,195,000 5,653,000 4,300,000 5,282,000 3,199,000 6,325,000 4,131,000 . 4,849,942 720,000 4,806,000 3,565,000 5,400,000 3,060,000 7,753,000 3,014,865 \n13,700,000 8,912,000 3,782,644 5,289,784 7,183,875 6,222,179 4,172,995 4,321,200 3,459,225 3,639,225 5,734,625 5,569,849 3,944,225 187,596,879 \n \nFY 1998 Recommendation \n \n136,600 240,000 225,000 335,000 936,600 \n \n5,000,000 5,S'Q0,000 5,000,000 15,500,000 \n \n188,533,479 \n \n15,500,000 204,033,479 \n \n521 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT AND EDUCATION \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nADULT LITERACY \nPURPOSE: Provide a comprehensive literacy program for Georgia; serve all adult Georgians needing basic, general and specialized skills instruction; administer the General Educational Development (GED) program and award the GED high school diploma to successful GED examinees. \nGOALS Deliver effective programs and services relevant to current and future workforce and lifelong learning needs.

With this funding, the department will have received over $710 million for the 2,697-mile developmental highway system during Governor Miller's administration (see graph below). Over 42 percent ofthe 2,697-mile system (1,148) had been completed or is under construction or right-of-way acquisition as of September 1996.  $14 million in motor fuel funds for the Four-laning and Multilaning Program. The four-laning program is designed to address the need for passing lanes on the state road system.  $17 million in motor fuel funds for projects of \"greatest need\" - projects identified by the department or other state and local entities as needed for economic development, congestion or safety. The greatest need program enables the department to support economic development projects for which other funding is not available. It enables the department to focus on those projects that do not qualitY for federal funding and are not on an identified developmental highway corridor.  $28.5 million in motor fuel funds for the State Fund Construction Program to reflect five percent of the motor fuel tax collection estimate. This program provides funding that enables local governments to enhance their road systems and \n \nwill assist in the construction of approximately 1,900 miles of road.  $4.2 million in motor fuel funds for first-year funding to develop a comprehensive Transportation Information System (TIS). Total cost of implementation of this system is approximately $53 million with a five-year implementation schedule. The benefit of the TIS will enable the department to provide better information and more effective processes for most programmatic functions.  The motor fuel tax revenue estimate for F.Y. 1998 is $570 million. Of this amount, $35 million is appropriated directly to the General Obligation Debt Sinking Fund to meet F.Y. 1998 debt service requirements on bonds previously issued on behalf of DOT.  $3.2 million in general obligation bonds to continue upkeep of dredge areas for Savannah Harbor. The $3.2 million will be used for construction to raise the front harbor dikes and related maintenance and repair work on the disposal areas.  $64,046 in other funds (aircraft receipts) for part-time pilots. The pilots will serve as co-pilots and augment the present pilot staffing level to provide more flexibility in scheduling crew duty times and a greater safety margin.

The department also provides administrative support to the State Tollway Authority and the Georgia Rail Passenger Authority. \nThe department is governed by a board comprised of representatives from each of the state's congressional districts. The combined state representatives and senators from each congressional district elect that district's board member. The board in tum appoints a commissioner to lead the department. \nThe great majority of the department's resources are directed toward maintaining and improving the state's network ofroads and bridges. Proceeds from the state's motor fuel taxes are constitutionally earmarked solely for use on Georgia's roads and bridges. Motor fuel tax collections in F.Y. 1996 totaled over $560 million. An additional $587 million in federal highway funds was budgeted for this same period. Non-road and bridge construction projects are supported by a combination of state general funds, federal funds and local funds. \nDEPARTMENT OPERATIONS The department's organization chart is based on specific \nprocesses or responsibilities such as personnel, planning, engineering and construction. However, the department's budget is divided into functions that may include the activities of several organizational divisions. These functions are discussed below. \nPLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION--Plans, maintains and improves the roads and bridges of the State Highway System. As part ofthis overall responsibility, personnel provide a long-range State Multi-Modal Transportation Plan and longrange 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. \nMAINTENANCE AND BETTERMENTS--Responsible for maintenance and repairs to the roads and bridges ofthe State Highway System. The goal of this function is to preserve the existing road network and improve its safety by programming and supervising major reconstruction and resurfacing or rehabilitation projects let to contract; performing certain heavy and specialized maintenance \n \nsuch as emergency repairs; making spot improvements and safety modification; performing routine maintenance such as patching pavement failures, repairing shoulders, maintaining drainage, mowing rights-of-way, erecting and maintaining waming and directional signs, and inspecting roadside parks and rest areas; issuing permits for special vehicles such as oversized and overweight carriers; and enforcing Georgia's special vehicle regulations. \nADMINISTRATION--Provides executive management, personnel management, fiscal administration, public information, purchasing, equipment management and inventory, contract administration, and other general administrative functions for the department. \nFACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT--Used as a separate budget function for new and replacement equipment and facilities necessary for the efficient performance of the department's various operations. \nINTERMODAL TRANSFER FACILITIES--Provides funding and administration of public transportation programs, i.e., buses and vans, provided under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964; provides funding and administration of light density rail rehabilitation and for the construction and signage of statewide Park and Ride lots; provides departmental financial assistance to cities and counties for airport planning, construction, approach aids, maintenance and other services as needed; maintains and updates the State Airport System Plan; publishes and distributes a state aeronautical chart and airport directory; and provides managment assistance and technical expertise to local governments to develop, maintain and improve scheduled air service. \nAIR TRANSPORTATION--Operates aircraft for use by state officials in conducting state business and also performs various aerial photography services for the department in the course of construction or improving roads and bridges. \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE--Concerned with the department's role with assisting Chatham County, designated as the local assurer, in fulfilling its responsibility for the provision and maintenance oflands, dikes and control works necessary for present and future storage ofdredge materials removed from the Savannah Harbor and River Navigation Channel. Navigation dredging is performed by the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers and these dredge materials are placed inside designated storage areas prepared by the local assurer. \nAUTHORITY Titles 6 and 32 ofthe Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n532 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nThe \n \nDepartment \n \nof \n \nTransportation's historic focus has been \n \non building and maintaining the state's \n \nnetwork of roads and bridges. The vast \n \nmajority of its funds, both state and \n \nfederal, are dedicated to this purpose. \n \nIndeed, Georgia is recognized \n \nnationally as having a superior highway \n \nsystem. A primary reason for both the \n \nemphasis on roads and their excellent \n \ncondition is the state's constitutional \n \nrequirement that all proceeds derived \n \nfrom state motor vehicle fuel taxes are \n \ndedicated solely to road and bridge \n \nprojects. In F. Y. 1997, motor fuel \n \nfunds available to the department \n \nainount to over $533 million, and when \n \ncombined with an additional $587 \n \nmillion in federal highway funds, \n \nprovides the department with a \n \nsubstantial amount of funding to fulfill \n \nits responsibility as the caretaker of the \n \nstate's highway system. \n \nTRANSPORTATION \n \nINFORMATION SYSTEM \n \nThe department is in the initial \n \nplanning phase of developing a \n \ncomprehensive \n \nTransportation \n \nInformation System (TIS). The general \n \nplan consists of: developing necessary \n \ndatabase standards to ensure system \n \nwide compatibility to meet the overall \n \nfuture needs in transportation; \n \ndeveloping an informational exchange \n \nsystem with districts' offices; \n \ndeveloping a database system to manage \n \nmultimedia activity; purchasing \n \ncomputer hardware and software; and \n \nintegrating the database for all \n \ndepartmental functions. The total cost \n \nof implementation is approximately $53 \n \nmillion with a five-year implementation \n \nschedule. The Governor is \n \nrecommending $4.2 million in first \n \nyear funding for F. Y 1998 in support \n \nof this initiative. Through modem \n \ninformation technologies, the \n \ndepartment is expected to provide better \n \ninformation and more effective \n \nprocesses for most programmatic \n \nfunctions. \n \nHIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION \n \nOver the past decade the state has \n \nspent well over $5 billion to construct, \n \nreconstruct and widen more than 8,203 \n \nlane-miles of road. In F.Y. 1997 alone, \n \napproximately $778 million worth of \n \nconstruction contracts is budgeted. \n \nThis amount represents 3,100 miles of \n \nstate roads at an average expenditure of \n \n$251,048 per mile of road \n \nimprovement. In addition, 120 bridges \n \nare expected to be let to contract in \n \nF.Y. 1997 at a cost of $117 million. \n \nImproved highway facilities are \n \nnecessary to satisfy the transportation \n \nneeds of a growing population and to \n \nencourage continued economic growth. \n \nOne of the department's key efforts is \n \nwork on the Governor's Road \n \nImprovement Program (GRIP). This \n \nambitious program is intended to add \n \nfour-lane highways to every section of \n \nthe state and would place 98 percent of \n \nthe state within 20 miles of a four-lane \n \nroad. \n \nAs envisioned, this \n \ndevelopmental highway system would \n \nadd 2,697 miles of four-lane highways \n \nthroughout the state. \n \nSince Governor Miller has been in \n \noffice, the state has appropriated over \n \n$710 million on GRIP, primarily \n \nthrough the use of 20-year general \n \nobligation bonds. A total of $ 100 \n \nmillion in bonds and $25 million in \n \nmotor fuel funds was appropriated to \n \nsupport GRIP projects in the F. Y. 1996 \n \nAmended Budget and F.Y. 1997 \n \ngeneral budget respectively. For F. Y. \n \n1998, the Governor is recommending \n \n$110 million in bonds to continue \n \nfunding for GRIP initiatives. The \n \nGovernor has directed the department to \n \nemphasize and accelerate completion of \n \nthe Fall Line Freeway from Columbus \n \nto Augusta and U. S. 27 from \n \nBainbridge to Chattanooga. As of \n \nSeptember 1996, 1,148 miles of road \n \nhad been completed or was under \n \nconstruction on GRIP. \n \nIn addition to substantial funding \n \nfor GRIP, the Governor is \n \nrecommending $14 million in motor \n \nfuel funding in the F. Y. 1998 budget \n \nfor the four-Ianing and multi-Ianing \n \nprogram, which is designed to address \n \nthe need for passing lanes on the state \n \nroad system throughout Georgia. A \n \ntotal of $20 million in bonds was \n \nauthorized in the F. Y. 1996 Amended \n \nBudget for this program. \n \nThe Governor is recommending \n \n$17 million in the F.Y. 1998 budget to \n \nbe used on projects of greatest need. \n \nThe greatest need program is \n \nparticularly important for industry \n \nlocation and special economic \n \ndevelopment needs throughout the state. \n \nIn addition to economic development \n \nrelated initiatives, the greatest need \n \nprogram can also undertake other \n \nprojects that address congestion and \n \nsafety concerns as identified by the \n \ndepartment or other state and local \n \nentities. \n \nThe $17 million \n \nrecommendation will focus on projects \n \nthat do not qualify for federal funding \n \nand are not on the Developmental \n \nHighway System. \n \nThe department also aids local \n \ngovernments in the construction of local \n \nroads off the state system through the \n \ncounty contracts program. This \n \nprogram, funded at an amount equal to \n \nfive percent of the motor vehicle fuel \n \ntaxes collected in the previous year, \n \nprovides funding that enables local \n \ngovernments to enhance their road \n \nsystems. The county contracts program \n \nis recommended at a funding level of \n \n$28,500,000 in F.Y. 1998 and will \n \nassist in the construction of \n \napproximately 1,900 miles of road. \n \nHIGHWAY MAINTENANCE Maintaining Georgia's highways is \na critical responsibility of the department. The department not only maintains the roads and bridges on the state's 17,898 mile highway system, but also aids local governments in helping to improve city and county roads off the state system. The department endeavors to annually resurface or reseal approximately 10 percent, or 1,790 miles of the state highway system, at a cost of $35,195 per mile \n \n533 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nand an annual cost totaling $63 million. In addition, the department \nconducts routine maintenance of the system, including its roadway surfaces, shoulders, drainage systems, bridges, traffic ilervices, roadside parks and rest areas at an average cost of $25,420 per mile. \nThe department's assistance to local governments includes resurfacing off-system roads and replacing and/or rehabilitating deficient local bridges. The Local Assistance Road Program (LARP), funded in the annual amount of $38.6 million for the past several fiscal years, is a key factor in local governments' ability to make improvements to their roads and bridges. \n \nTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT \n \nWith the completion of the multi- \n \nyear and multi-million dollar Freeing \n \nthe Freeways project in metropolitan \n \nAtlanta, the Federal Highway \n \nAdministration and the Georgia \n \nDepartment of Transportation have \n \nacknowledged that the addition of more \n \nlanes and more roads in Atlanta is not \n \nan option. Instead, the emphasis has \n \nshifted to traffic management. The \n \nfederal \n \nIntermodal \n \nSurface \n \nTransportation Efficiency Act, which \n \nprovides federal transportation funding, \n \ndirects states to look to alternatives to \n \nroad construction when seeking to \n \nenhance citizen mobility and \n \naccessibility. Additionally, under the \n \nrequirements of the federal Clean Air \n \nAct, Georgia must make an effort to \n \nreduce harmful pollution caused by \n \nvehicle emissions and industry. \n \nCurrently, metro Atlanta has non- \n \nattainment status, which means that it is \n \nnot in compliance with federal clean air \n \nstandards and risks losing millions of \n \ndollars in federal highway funds. In \n \norder to avoid this situation, the \n \ndepartment must demonstrate that it is \n \nexamining and implementing various \n \nalternatives to reduce vehicle traffic, \n \nthus improving air quality. Several \n \nsteps being taken by the department are \n \ndiscussed below. \n \nADVANCED TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM \nDevelopment of the Advanced Management System (ATMS) for the Atlanta region and the State of Georgia has been completed. \nCurrently, the department has committed funding of approximately $140 million in federal and state matching funds through 1997. The Traffic Management Center facility , which monitors five counties, the city of Atlanta, and MARTA, opened in April 1996. \nThe system provides surveillance capabilities for the Atlanta freeway system along with congestion mitigation technologies, including variable message signs, ramp meters, and enhanced incident management response capabilities. In addition, the system incorporates the major arterial routes of the region by providing seamless control of traffic signal systems and surveillance capabilities for these routes. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and Cobb Community Transit (CCT) are also integral parts of the system. \nThe system is considered to be state of the art in Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (lVHS) technology in the United States. \n \nGEORGIA RAIL PASSENGER \n \nAUTHORITY \n \nAlthough the law creating the \n \nGeorgia Rail Passenger Authority has \n \nexisted in the Georgia Code since 1985, \n \nthe authority was initially appointed \n \nduring the Miller administration. The \n \nauthority was created for the purpose of \n \nconstruction, financing, operation and \n \ndevelopment of rail passenger service \n \nand other public transportation projects \n \nin Georgia. The authority is an \n \nindependent body which uses the \n \nassistance and expertise of the \n \ndepartment. \n \nThe Governor \n \nrecommended and the legislature \n \napproved an increase in the authority's \n \nbudget of $145,000 in F.Y. 1997 to \n \nbegin implementation of a commuter \n \nrail plan to link downtown Atlanta with \n \noutlying areas through the use of existing freight rail lines. The Governor is recommending that $150,000, appropriated in F. Y. 1997 for rail demonstration projects for the 1996 Summer Olympics, be redirected toward continued implementation of the Commuter Rail Plan or other commuter transportationprojects in the F. Y. 1997 Amended Budget. \n \nHARBOR MAINTENANCE Providing a safe passage for \ninternational shipping lines using Georgia's ports is an ever-increasing effort by the department. The world's shipping lines continue to increase the size of their ships, requiring ports to provide increasingly deeper channels to accommodate larger vessels. \nThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removes dredged material from the Savannah River channel which is deposited in diked areas. This is an ongoing process that requires the department to be responsible for dike construction and harbor maintenance. \nUnderstanding the importance of Georgia' ports to the state t s economy, Governor Miller has committed over $21 million in state funds for dike construction and spoilage area expansion. Additionally, Governor Miller has included in his F. Y. 1998 budget recommendations $3.2 million in general obligation bonds for construction to raise the front harbor dikes and related maintenance and repair work on the disposal areas. \n \nAIR TRANSPORTATION \n \nThe Air Transportation program \n \noperates aircraft for use by state \n \nofficials in conducting state business, \n \nparticularly in transporting economic \n \ndevelopment officials and prospects to \n \npotential industrial sites. \n \nThe \n \ndepartment maintains a fleet of five \n \npassenger aircraft plus a larger aircraft \n \nwhich performs various aerial \n \nphotography services for the \n \ndepartment. The photography airplane \n \naids the department in mapping and \n \nsurveys, the planning and design of \n \n534 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -- Strategies and Services \n \nprojects, and in monitoring the progress of construction projects.To meet the demand for state aircraft flights, the department maintains a current staff of seven pilots and schedules crew duty times according to the type of request for flights. Flights for Presidents and CEO's traveling as guests on state aircrafts generally require two pilots, as does state aircraft flights by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and \n \nSpeaker of the House. Scheduling two pilot crews for all other state agency flights is a function of availability of pilots and flexibility in scheduling. The Governor is recommending that $64,046 in additional aircraft receipts be budgeted in F. Y. 1998 for a total of $464,046 to fund the hiring of part-time pilots to serve as co-pilots. The department collected an annual average of $469,914 in aircraft receipts from \n \nF.Y. 1994 to F.Y. 1996, and is budgeted to collect $375,000 in receipts in F.Y. 1997. The Governor's recommendation aligns more closely budgeted receipts with actual collections. Aircraft receipt collections over and above the F.Y. 1998 recommended amount can be used to augment the present pilot staffmg level to provide more flexibilty in scheduling crew duty times and a greater safety margin. \n \n300 271 \n250 \n \nSTATE AIRCRAFT USE BY AGENCY Most Frequent Agency Users \n252 242 \n \n200 \ni.... \n~ 150 l+o-\u003c \n~ 100 \n50 \no \n1994 \n DOT \nD DNR \n \n94 \n \n47 \n1- \n1995 Fiscal Years \n \nL it25 1996 \n \n[1m \n \n GOV.'SOFF \n \n EDUCATION \n \n535 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION \nResults-Based Budgeting \nProgram Summaries \nROA.))

Since all veterans' benefits must be applied for, the major activities of the department generally consist of informing veterans and their families about all available state and federal benefits and directly assisting and advising them in obtaining those benefits to which they are entitled. \nVETERANS EDUCATION ASSISTANCE As the state approving agency for the federally sponsored \nVeterans 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 offer education under this program. In addition to approving these institutions, the Department of Veterans Service inspects them regularly to ensure that all criteria for continued approval are being met. In F.Y. 1996, the department conducted 1,182 inspections of veteran educational and training programs; inspections forF.Y. 1997 are projected to reach 1,303. This function is 100 percent federally funded and employs seven staff. \nINSTITUTIONS FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Service operates two \ninstitutions that offer health care services to eligible veterans. Located next to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, the 540-bed Georgia State Veterans Home complex is situated on approximately 17 acres ofland. The complex is comprised of three skilled nursing units and one domiciliary unit (Le. building limited to simple lodging). The facility is staffed and operated through a contract with a private vendor. \nA second facility is maintained in Augusta. The Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is staffed by 209 employees and operated through a contract with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System of Georgia.

Also the Commissioner, other department staff and field office managers make personal appearances before veterans' organizations throughout the state to explain these rights and benefits and the assistance available from the department. \nVETERANS ASSISTANCE In addition to the central office in \nAtlanta, the department maintains a claims processing staff at the regional office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Atlanta and 48 field offices or satellite branches across the state. At these locations, agency personnel assist and advise veterans and their families in several ways. Assistance is given in initiating, filing and processing of claims. When necessary, the department will represent veterans before claims or appellate boards. Veterans are also \n \nassisted in securing social security and \n \nrelated benefits. \n \nAdditionally, \n \nassistance is provided in securing burial \n \nbenefits, in arranging for the burial of \n \neligible veterans in national cemeteries \n \nand in securing flags and grave \n \nmarkers. In F.Y. 1996, the department \n \nprocessed 612,062 requests for \n \nassistance; it is projected that this \n \nnumber will increase to 625,000 in F.Y. \n \n1997. \n \nGEORGIA WAR VETERANS HOME - MILLEDGEVILLE \nIn F.Y. 1997, the Department of Veterans Service privatized the operation of the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville. The privatization of the facility is projected to save the state an estimated $6.8 million dollars, while maintaining high quality care standards for Georgia veterans. In F.Y. 1997 the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville will provide an estimated 161,000 days of patient care. As the veteran population has aged the acuity level (or level of care) of the skilled nursing patients has also increased \n \nVeterans Requests for Assistance \n \nsignificantly. In 1989, approximately 40 percent of the skilled patients at this facility required total care. Today, approximately 80 percent require this intensive level of care. \nIn addition to the skilled nursing component of the home, the Pete Wheeler Domiciliary provides living accommodations and minimal medical care to veterans who are able to maintain some level of independence in carrying out their daily living. A patient exercise program has been implemented throughout the home to increase physical activity with an anticipated reduction in patient falls and injuries. \nGEORGIA VETERANS NURSING HOME - AUGUSTA \nIn F.Y. 1997 , this facility will provide 62,199 days of patient care to veterans in need of continuous nursing care and rehabilitation In addition, the facility provides educational experience to students of the various schools comprising the Medical College of Georgia. Through this association, the nursing home is allowed access to technology and expertise not readily available to other skilled nursing facilities. These resources have enabled the home to become a leader in long-term care training and research. \n \n700,000 \n \n650,000 \n \n600,000 \n \n550,000 \n \n500,000 \"--~~~~~~~~-----\"~~~~--\"-~~~~---./ \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \nFiscal Year \n \nI I No. ofVeterans \n \nurI No. ofRequests for Assistance \n \n545 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nVETERANS ASSISTANCE PURPOSE: Serve the over 680,000 Georgia veterans, their dependents and survivors in all matters pertaining to veterans affairs by: (1) providing public information to the veteran population and their families about veteran benefits; and, (2) directly assisting and advising veterans and their families in securing the benefits to which they are entitled. \nGOALS Efficiently process veterans benefit claims and appeals.

All employers, with three or more fulltime or part-time employees, are required to obtain workers' compensation coverage through either private insurers or programs ofself-insurance for injuries arising out ofand in the course of employment. The only employees exempt are: federal government employees, railroad employees, farmers, farm hands, domestic servants, business partners, some corporate executives and independent contractors. \nThe Board administers the law to assure that injured workers are receiving the services and benefits to which they are entitled by the law in a timely and appropriate manner. The benefits provided include medical payments, a portion of wage replacement, catastrophic rehabilitation and others. Rights granted an employee under the law preclude any other legal remedies against an employer by an employee due to a work-related injury. \nThe Board regulates specific benefits to injured employees without regard for negligence or fault and guarantees protection for the employers through the exclusive remedy provision. However, claims are not paid if the cause of the injury is the result of the use of alcohol or a controlled substance. The injured employee can be tested within three hours, or eight hours from the time of the injury for alcohol or controlled substances, respectively. \nBOARD RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of the Board are classified as quasi- \njudicial, administrative and regulatory. The quasi-judicial \n \nresponsibilities include hearing cases on appeal and approving settlements. The chairperson of the three-member Board is the chief appellate administrative law judge. The administrative regulatory responsibilities range from developing policy, promulgating regulations and developing and submitting the agency's budget request. \nThe specific responsibilities of the Board include: Promulgating and adopting policies and rules. Approving applications of insurance companies to write workers' compensation policies in Georgia and applications of employers to act as self-insurers. Ensuring that employers maintain required insurance coverage. Reviewing and monitoring claims and settlements to ensure compliance with the law. Resolving disputes between claimants and employers. Publishing and distributing information about rights, benefits and obligations under the workers' compensation law to employers and employees. Approving fees of physicians and charges of hospitals and other providers of services paid by Workers' Compensation insurers and self-insurers. \nTo monitor the administration of the Workers' Compensation Law and fulfill these responsibilities, the chief executive authority for the Board rests with its chairperson, with administrative functions entrusted to an executive director appointed by the Board. The three member Board is appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. \nAUTHORITY 34-9, Official Code of Georgia Annotated. \n \n160,000 \n \nNumber of Claims Reviewed \n \n140,000 \n \n120,000 100,000 80,000 60,000 \n \n102,181 \n \n \n122,550 \nI \n \n140,000 \n \n153,000 \n \no \n \n1994 \n \n1995 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \nFiscal Years \n \n553 \n \n BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nStrategies and Services \n \nCurrently the State Board of Workers' Compensation provides services for approximately 190,000 employers and 3.5 million workers. Annually, approximately 52,000 losttime claims are filed as well as 170,000 medical only claims. Eight percent or less of these cases are litigated. \nThose claims requiring an evidentiary hearing are heard by an administrative law judge in a court-like proceeding. Hearings are held in the county where the injury occurred or an adjoining county. The award is generally issued in the claim 30 to 60 days following the hearing. In addition to the state office in Atlanta, the board has eight field offices that house the Administrative Law Judges and legal secretaries who handle disputes in their designated areas. These field offices are located in Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Rome and Savannah. \nIf either party is dissatisfied with the decision ofthe judge, the partymay appeal to the three-member board. During calendar year 1996, 818 appellate hearings were scheduled before the full board. Further appeals may be taken through the court system. \nFRAUD AND COMPLIANCE UNIT In fiscal year 1995 the board \nestablished a Fraud and Compliance unit to respond to complaints regarding uninsured employers and fraudulent claims. It is estimated that as many as half of the employers in Georgia who are required to carry workers' compensation coverage do not do so. This puts legitimate employers at a competitive disadvantage, skews the premium for the pool of insured employers and leaves thousands of workers without this required coverage. The primary purpose of the Fraud and Compliance unit is to identify these employers and apply penalties as provided by statute. Furthermore, local district attorneys will also be brought in to assist in the prosecution of the \n \nmisdemeanor and felony offenses discovered. \n \nALTERNATE \n \nDISPUTE \n \nRESOLUTION UNIT \n \nThe Alternate Dispute Resolution \n \n(ADR) unit is a forum used to resolve \n \nissues that do not require a formal \n \nhearing. The unit has been expanded to \n \naccommodate the dramatic increase in \n \nthe number of cases submitted for \n \nmediation and other resolution issues \n \nwithout a hearing. Request for legal \n \nactions are being screened and diverted \n \nby the Screening and Administration \n \nunit to the ADR unit (based on legal \n \naction requested), which provides for a \n \nmore cost-effective and timely \n \nresolution of disputed issues. Cases \n \nresolved in this manner will not require \n \nhearings, nor will appeals be filed. The \n \nunit handles over 600 cases per month \n \nthat would otherwise be assigned to the \n \nTrial Section. \n \nMANAGED HEALTH CARE There is a legislative provision for \nboard certified Workers' Compensation Managed Care Organizations to serve as an option for the delivery of medical services to injured workers. Therefore, any health care provider or group of medical services providers may submit an application to the board to become \n \ncertified to provide services to injured workers. In order to be certified, the managed health care plan must include: appropriate [mancial incentives to reduce service costs and utilization without sacrificing the quality of service; adequate methods of peer review and service utilization review to prevent inappropriate or excessive treatment; and efforts to promote services that will contribute to workplace health and safety. The National Commission of Compensation Insurance estimates that plans such as these can result in up to a 12 percent premium reduction. \nAs of November 1996, 27 organizations filed applications with the board for certification. A total of 14 organizations have been certified. It is anticipated that within the next three to five years the majority of Georgia's injured employees will access medical treatment through services provided by certified managed care organizations. To promote success within this system, quality assurance measures will be implemented. These measures will include compliance audits and participant surveys to measure satisfaction levels and assess outcomes. \n \n25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 \n \nAlternative Dispute Resolutions vs. Formal TrIals \n \n1994 \n \n1996 \n \n1997 \n \n1998 \n \nFiscal Years \n \nrID Alternative Dispute Resolution Unit \n Trial Unit \n \n554 \n \n STATE BOARD OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION \nResults-Based Budgeting Program Summaries \nAPPELLATEIREVIEW SERVICES PURPOSE: Schedule all hearing requests on appealed cases from administrative law judges and renders rulings on appeals; render rulings on requests for stipulated settlements, income advances and attorney leave of absences. \nGOALS Promptly schedule and render decisions on cases appealed from administrative law judges (ALJ) level.

The \nleaks are causing damage to interior spaces as well as safety-related problems. Patch work has been done where possible, but there are diminishing returns with this effort. \n \n3,500,000 \n \nFREON REPLACEMENT/CHILLER REPLACEMENTS -- Funds are required to finish the modification of facilities statewide to \naccept newer and legal refrigerants. This is an Environmental Protection Agency requirement. While this work is being accomplished, any systems that are old and in need of other repair will be updated. \n \n250,000 \n \nBOILER REPLACEMENTS -- Aging boilers at several institutions are reaching the end of their \nservice life and must be replaced to prevent catastrophic failure and potentially lengthy down time of the systems. \n \n640,000 \n \nWATER TOWER REPAIRS -- Water towers at many correctional institutions are aging and in need \nof sand blasting and repainting to prevent further damage from corrosion. \n \n650,000 \n \nSEWER LINE REPAIRSIREPLACEMENTS -- The condition of most sanitary sewerage and storm drainage systems \nhas not been investigated recently. The funds are required to undertake a systemwide study of the condition of sewer lines as well as to determine the extent of infiltration. Inflow and infiltration of sewerage systems is known to be a problem at some institutions. Funds are requested to provide for correction of known problems, with the likelihood that the amounts requested will increase at the conclusion of the study. \n \n900,000 \n \nINSTALLATION OF MECHANICAL BAR SCREENS -- Install mechanical bar screens in all correctional institutions that do \nnot presently have them. These are required because of the high amount of solid waste present in waste water. Mechanical bar screens effectively and efficiently separate out the larger solid material with a high level of reliability. This prevents damage to equipment downstream as well as removing a wide variety of problem materials. \n \n720,000 \n \nKITCHEN FLOOR REPAIRS -- Heavy use of kitchens presents extreme wear problems for kitchen \nfloors.

These funds will provide for installation at Mens', Scott and Baldwin State Prisons. Systems will be installed at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center and Georgia State Prison which will supplement the use of towers, but not totally replace the current manned system. \n \n500,000 \n \n500,000 \n \nEMERGENCY POWER SYSTEM REPLACEMENTS -- Aging backup power equipment is becoming unreliable and requires \nreplacement before total failure occurs. Parts are nearly impossible to obtain for older generators, and some state prisons require an increase in capacity due to the addition of new housing units. \n \n970,000 \n \n1,070,000 \n \nSTATEWIDE ADA UPGRADES -- The decision of the Cason Class Action Suit requires compliance with \nthe Americans With Disabilities Act. Funds requested will provide accessible toilet fixtures, showers, ramps, and other access improvements at all institutions. \n \n200,000 \n \nSECURITY HARDENING -- The number of violent and difficult-to-handle inmates is increasing, \ncreating a need for additional high security facilities. This most cost effective way of obtaining additional high security space is to convert low or medium correctional facilities. These funds will allow for the conversion of two facilities per year by adding sally ports, additional fencing, and high security locking devices. \n \n800,000 \n \n900,000 \n \nBED EXPANSIONIMENTAL HEALTH FACILITY -- There has been a dramatic increase in the number of sick and mentally \nill inmates within the correctional system. This trend has created a need for additional forensic care facilities. \n \n7,700,000 \n \nGREASE TRAP REPLACEMENTS -- Food operations such as those at prison facilities are a source offood \nwaste and grease which can enter into sanitary sewer systems very easily. To prevent problems with downstream processing of this waste, it is essential that grease not enter these systems in significant quantities. In many rural settings the waste water treatment systems are small, making it critical that the biochemical loading caused by grease be removed before flowing into these systems. This funding will allow for the needed upgrade of all grease traps by the year 2001. \n \n200,000 \n \n250,000 \n \n500,000 1,100,000 \n950,000 250,000 \n \nTOTALS \n \n17,830,000 \n \n10,180,000 \n \n11,050,000 \n \n596 \n \n DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE \nCapital Outlay Projected Needs for Fiscal Years 1999 Through 2001 \n \nF.Y. 1999 \n \nNEW CONSTRUCTlONIRENOVATlONS -- Construct an annory at Winder-Barrow to replace inadequate \nfacilities with multi-use annory.

Laws 1972, p. 1523, et seq.), which permitted the state to finance its needs directly through the issuance of general obligation debt. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the state's capital outlay needs were met through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate state authorities and secured by lease rental agreements between the authorities and various state departments and agencies. The provisions of the amendment were implemented by the General Assembly in 1973 with the enactment of the act, and the constitutionality of the new system of state financing was favorably adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Georgia in a decision rendered on July 16, 1974, in Sears v. State of Georgia, 232 Ga. 547 (1974). In November of 1982, the voters of the State of Georgia ratified a new state constitution which became effective July I, 1983, and such new constitution continues the amendment in full force and effect. \nGeor\u0026ia State Financin\u0026 and Investment Commission \nThe commission is an agency and instrumentality of the state and its members are the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House ofRepresentatives, the State Auditor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, and the Commissioner of Agriculture. \nThe commission is responsible for the issuance of all public debt of the state, including general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. The commission is further responsible for the proper application of the proceeds of such \n \ndebt to the purposes for which it is incurred. \nThe commission has two statutory divisions, a Financing and Investment Division and a Construction Division, each administered by a director who reports directly to the commission. The Financing and Investment Division performs all services relating to the issuance of public debt, the investment and accounting of all proceeds derived from the incurring of general obligation debt or such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, the management of other state debt, and all financial advisory matters pertaining thereto. The Construction Division is responsible for all construction and construction-related matters resulting from the issuance of public debt or from any such other amounts as may be appropriated to the commission for capital outlay purposes, except that in the case of bond proceeds for public road and bridge construction or reconstruction, the commission contracts with the Department of Transportation or the Georgia Highway Authority for the supervision of and contracting for designing, planning, building, rebuilding, constructing, improving, operating, owning, maintaining, leasing, and managing of public roads and bridges for which general obligation debt has been authorized and in all other cases when .the commission shall contract with a state department, authority, or agency for the acquisition or construction of projects under the policies, standards, and operating procedures established by the commission. The Construction Division is also responsible for performing such construction-related services for state agencies and instrumentalities as may be assigned to the commission by executive order of the Governor. \n \n623 \n \n CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BOND LIMITATIONS \n \nThe State of Georgia's Constitution and various laws set limits on the indebtedness that can be incurred by the state and its various institutions, departments, and agencies. The following describes these limits and also provides certain selected budgetary and financial data. \nAppropriations and Debt Limitations \nArticle III, Section IX, Paragraph IV(b) of the Constitution of the State of Georgia (the \"Constitution\") provides: \n\"The General Assembly shall not appropriate funds for any given fiscal year which, in aggregate, exceed a sum equal to the amount of unappropriated surplus expected to have accrued in the state treasury at the beginning of the fiscal year together with an amount not greater than the total treasury receipts from existing revenue sources anticipated to be collected in the fiscal year, less refunds, as estimated in the budget report and amendments thereto. Supplementary appropriations, if any, shall be made in the manner provided in Paragraph V of this section of the Constitution; but in no event shall a supplementary Appropriations Act continue in force and effect beyond the expiration of the General Appropriations Act in effect when such supplementary Appropriations Act was adopted and approved.\" \nArticle VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(c), (d), (e), and (f) of the Constitution provides that the state may incur public debt of two types for public purposes: general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt. General obligation debt may be incurred to acquire, construct, develop, extend, enlarge, or improve land, waters, property, highways, buildings, structures, equipment, or facilities of the state, its agencies, departments, institutions, and certain state authorities, to provide educational facilities for county and independent school systems, to provide public library facilities for county and independent school systems, counties, municipalities, and boards of trustees of public libraries or boards of trustees of public library systems, to make loans to counties, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, local authorities, and other local government entities for water or sewerage facilities or systems, and to make loans to local government entities for regional or multijurisdictional solid waste recycling or solid waste facilities or systems. Guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred by guaranteeing the payment of certain revenue obligations issued by an instrumentality of the state as set forth in said subparagraph (f) of Paragraph I, Section IV, Article VII of the Constitution. Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph II(b)-(e) of the Constitution further provides that: \n \n\"(b) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c), (d), and (e) of Paragraph I of this section or Paragraph V of this section at any time when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent year for outstanding general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt, including the proposed debt, and the highest aggregate annual payments for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state under all contracts then in force to which the provisions of the second paragraph of Article IX, Section VI, Paragraph I(a) of the Constitution of 1976 are applicable, exceed 10 percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any such debt is to be incurred. \n(c) No debt may be incurred under subparagraphs (c) and (d) of Paragraph I of this section at any time when the term of the debt is in excess of 25 years. \n(d) No guaranteed revenue debt may be incurred to finance water or sewage treatment facilities or systems when the highest aggregate annual debt service requirements for the then current year or any subsequent fiscal year of the state for outstanding or proposed guaranteed revenue debt for water facilities or systems or sewerage facilities or systems exceed one percent of the total revenue receipts less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which any debt is to be incurred. \n(e) The aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to make loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $18 million, and the aggregate amount of guaranteed revenue debt incurred to purchase, or to lend or deposit against the security of, loans for educational purposes that may be outstanding at any time shall not exceed $72 million.\" \nIn addition, Article VII, Section IV, Paragraph IV of the Constitution provides: \n\"The state, and all state institutions, departments, and agencies of the state are prohibited from entering into any contract, except contracts pertaining to guaranteed revenue debt, with any public agency, public corporation, authority, or similar entity if such contract is intended to constitute security for bonds or other obligations issued by any such public agency, public corporation, or authority and, in the event any contract between the state, or any state institution, department, or agency of the state and any public agency, public corporation, authority, or \n \n624 \n \n CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY BOND LIMITATIONS \n \nsimilar entity, or any revenues from any such contract, is pledged or assigned as security for the repayment of bonds or other obligations, then and in either such event, the appropriation or expenditure of any funds of the state for the payment of obligations under any such contract shall likewise be prohibited.\" \nArticle VII, Section IV, Paragraph I(b) of the Constitution provides that the state may incur: \n\"Public debt to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury in any fiscal year created by a delay in collecting the taxes of that year. Such debt shall not exceed, in the \n \naggregate, five percent of the total revenue receipts, less refunds, of the state treasury in the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which such debt is incurred. The debt incurred shall be repaid on or before the last day of the fiscal year in which it is incurred out of taxes levied for that fiscal year. No such debt may be incurred in any fiscal year under the provisions of this subparagraph (b) if there is then outstanding unpaid debt from any previous fiscal year which was incurred to supply a temporary deficit in the state treasury.\" \nNo such debt has been incurred under this provision since its inception. \n \n625 \n \n TOTAL DEBT AUTHORIZED BY STATE IN GENERAL OBLIGATION AND REVENUE BONDS \nThe following table sets forth by purpose the aggregate general obligation debt and guaranteed revenue debt authorized by the General Assembly of the State.

The following information is presented for this purpose. \nAnnual state appropriations, as approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor, are the authority for the expenditure of all state funds. Budgets are established for each agency based on appropriations, and state laws prescribe strict conditions that govern all expenditures. \nTHE SOURCES OF FUNDING \nBudgets are based on the availability of state general funds, state lottery funds, state dedicated funds (such as motor fuel taxes), reserves and surpluses, the Indigent Care Trust Fund, funds collected and retained for expenditure by agencies, federal funds, and a few smaller categories. Broadly, funds are identified in the Budget Report and in general use as state funds and total funds. The distinctions are: \nSTATE FUNDS--(l) The taxes and fees collected by the state and deposited directly into the state treasury to be appropriated (the basis for the Governor's revenue estimate); (2) Reserves; (3) Surplus funds; (4) Lottery receipts; and (5) Indigent Care Trust Funds. \nTOTAL FUNDS--All funds available for appropriation, including (1) State funds as described above; (2) Federal funds; and (3) Other funds from a number of sources, mostly fees and charges assessed and retained by agencies. \nSTATE FUNDS \nState funds comprised 60.2 percent oftotal appropriations in the original F.Y. 1997 budget. The state fund total is most frequently used in news reports and is the total that most often generates public debate and deliberations by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The level of federal and other funding is often driven by the level of state fund appropriations. \nTaxes represent the largest portion of state funds projected to be collected in F.Y. 1998--46.4 percent. The largest tax sources are the income tax, 48.1 percent, and the sales tax, 36.9 percent. Other revenue sources include fees and sales, 3.3 percent; lottery funds, 4.3 percent; and Indigent Care Trust Funds, 1.3 percent. \nFEDERAL AND OTHER FUNDS \nFederal funds flow directly to state agencies from the many federal programs that provide grants to state and local \n \ngovernments. While most federal funds for local governments go directly to the recipient cities and counties, some grant funds are distributed to local governments through the state budget. \nOther funds include a broad category ofrevenues that are collected by agencies and retained for expenditure without going through the state treasury. They are expressly approved by an appropriations act or can be amended into an agency's budget with approval of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB). \nFunds that are collected by agencies and turned over to the state treasury by law become state general funds and are available for appropriation by the General Assembly for any purpose. \nFunds retained by state agencies for direct expenditure include college tuition fees, state park revenues, and a host of other fees and collections for various services rendered. \nREVENUE ESTIMATE \nGeorgia's State Constitution requires that the General Assembly approve a budget that balances expenditures with anticipated fund availability. Therefore, each year's budget cannot exceed the total of revenues expected to be collected and any surplus or reserve funds that are available for expenditure. \nThe Governor, who is the Budget Director, is responsible for establishing the official revenue estimate. He is assisted in this responsibility by a state economist under contract as a consultant with OPB, which serves as the budget staff for the Governor. \nThe basis for making revenue projections is a computerized econometric model. From this model, a range of estimates is provided to the Governor by his economic advisor. In December, just prior to fmalizing his budget recommendations to the General Assembly, the Governor adopts a fmal revenue estimate--an action that, when added to surplus and reserve funds, determines the size of the forthcoming appropriations bill. \nSURPLUS FUNDS \nSurplus funds come from two sources: (1) Excess revenue collections over the revenue estimate, and (2) Unspent appropriations that were lapsed back to the state treasury and may be available for re-appropriation. \nLapses occur in two ways: (1) Appropriation amounts that OPB never allotted to agencies for expenditure, an action \n \n631 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nthat automatically puts the funds back into the treasury; and (2) Appropriations that were allotted for expenditure but were unspent at the end of the year. These funds are lapsed back into the treasury by the State Auditor following the annual audits of each agency. \nRESERVES \nTwo reserves are established by the state on June 30, the end of the state's fiscal year, if funds are available--the Midyear Adjustment Reserve and the Revenue Shortfall Reserve. \nThe Midyear Adjustment Reserve is established by the State Auditor on June 30 each year and represents one percent of net revenue collections for the prior fiscal year, to the extent surplus funds are available up to that total. The Reserve is set aside to be appropriated in an amended budget at the next session of the General Assembly. The Reserve is considered to be the primary fund source for the State Board of Education's \"Midterm Adjustment.\" This adjustment is appropriated in the amended budget each year to provide the state's share ofthe increased cost of new students enrolled in the fall. \nThe Revenue Shortfall Reserve is equal to three percent of the prior fiscal year's net revenue collections, to the extent surplus funds are available, and is established after the Midyear Adjustment Reserve has been filled. The Shortfall Reserve is the state's rainy day fund and is available to offset an unexpected shortage in revenues at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of F.Y. 1996, the Reserve was filled to a level of $313,385,534. \nOccasionally, other reserves can be available for appropriation. For instance, the Motor Fuel Reserve represents funds earmarked for expenditure by the Department of Transportation in years when motor fuel tax collections exceed the original budgeted estimate for motor fuel collections in the preceding fiscal year. All motor fuel tax collections are constitutionally allocated to the Department of Transportation whether appropriated or not, but are routinely included in the state's amended budgets. \nHOW BUDGETS ARE APPROVED \nThe budget process for any given year, from the first planning stages to post-auditing, involves a series of actions spread over about two and one-half years. \n \nin effect until the General Assembly convenes in January, at which time the budget is generally changed by adding appropriations, decreasing appropriations or shifting expenditures between object classes. \nAn amended budget is one in which any type of change can be made--additions, deletions or transfers. A supplementary budget is one which includes only new spending. Generally, a supplementary bill is passed early in the session to provide appropriations needed before a more extensive amended bill can be passed. \nAll of these budgets, at the end of the session, become one operating budget for the state, with no distinction made for the various appropriations acts that are passed. \nThe General Assembly can meet at any time in special session and amend the budget in effect. These occasions are rare, having.occurred only twice in recent decades. Both were triggered by recessions in Georgia that required major budget cuts to avoid spending more money than was available for expenditure. \nState law requires all state agencies to submit a request for appropriations for the next fiscal year to OPB no later than September 1 of each year. Most agencies start work on these requests in the spring for a fiscal year that is 14 to 15 months in the future. At the same time, agencies must request amendments for changes in the current fiscal year's budget. \nBeginning in early September, the Governor begins a four-month period in which he studies the budget requests of each department and develops his recommendations to the General Assembly. During this interim, he meets with department heads and consults with his OPB staff in fmalizing his proposals. \nBUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS \nThe Governor normally appears before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the first week in January to announce his recommendations for amending the current year's budget. The next year's budget recommendations are announced by the Governor during his annual Budget Message, which is delivered to a joint legislative session during the first week of the annual session. The Legislature convenes on the second Monday in January. \nLEGISLATIVE ACTION \n \nThree kinds of budgets can be approved in Georgia--an original budget, an amended budget and a supplementary budget. An original budget is just what it says--the first budget passed for a fiscal year. Generally, this budget remains \n \nBy law, an appropriations bill is introduced in the House of Representatives and first goes to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration before being voted on by the entire House. The bill follows a similar path through the \n \n632 \n \n THE BUDGET PROCESS IN GEORGIA \n \nSenate. The House and Senate versions usually differ. While still working within the total revenue estimate established by the Governor, a conference committee is then appointed to reach a compromise on the two versions. The conference committee's version must be accepted totally or rejected by each house. A rejection results in appointment of a new conference committee. \nThe process is the same for amended and outyear appropriations bills. The only difference is the General Assembly generally takes actions on amended and supplementary bills before taking up the budget for the following year. That is done because changes in the current year's budget often impact the following year's budget. \nADMINISTRATION OF THE BUDGET \n \nOBJECT CLASS APPROPRIATIONS \nAll funds are appropriated through common and unique object classes. There are more than a dozen common object classes, such as personal services, regular operating expenses, capital outlay, travel and real estate rentals. Unique object classes, of which there are almost 100 in the State Board of Education alone, usually relate only to a specific agency. \nThe Appropriations Act in recent years has provided some flexibility for state agencies by authorizing some transfers between common object classes. The limits are: no common object class spending can exceed 102 percent of appropriations for that class, and total spending on all common object classes cannot exceed the total funds authorized. \n \nOnce an Appropriations Act has been signed into law, OPB, on behalf of the Governor, is responsible for ensuring that all state expenditures conform to the legislative mandate. State agencies are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed spending authorizations by total appropriations or by object class. This is accomplished through approval by OPB of an annual operating budget, quarterly allotments and expenditure reports. \nAfter the fiscal year ends, the State Auditor is responsible for auditing all expenditures of every state agency and operation, including all colleges and universities, authorities and school districts. \n \nFurther transfers between these object classes are possible with permission of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Governor. \nBASIS OF BUDGETING \nThe State of Georgia maintains the budget funds of its various appropriations units in accordance withthe modified accrual basis of reporting. \n \n633 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nADJUSTED BASE: The beginning point for development of the state budget for F.Y. 1998. The adjusted base is determined by deducting non-recurring expenditures from the current F.Y. 1997 budget, then adding funds equivalc\u003cnt to the mandatory increases required to annualize requirements such as F. Y. 1997 pay raises and improvements. \nAGENCY 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 Appropriation Act. The agencies increase or decrease these funds by amendments to the Annual Operating Budget as actual collections occur during the year. Also known as Other Funds. \nALLOTMENT: The authorization for a state agency to withdraw funds from the state treasury for expenditure. Before an allotment is granted, however, each budget unit is required to file a quarterly work program with the Office of Planning and Budget (OPB) no later than 20 days before the beginning of each quarter of the fiscal year. The work program must include the portion of the appropriation that will be required for the quarter's expenditures based on the budget. After the work program is approved, the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services records an \"allotment payable\" from which the state agency can draw cash as needed. \nAMENDED 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 recommend budget additions, budget deletions or transfers of funds within object classes of an agency. Also known as the \"supplemental budget\" or the \"little budget.\" \nANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET: A plan for annual expenditures based on the Appropriation 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. \nANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AMENDMENT: Revisions to the annual operating budget which must be submitted to the OPB for approval. Typically, these revisions are due to the receipt of funding that was not included during the appropriation process or transfer of funds from one activity/function to another. \nAPPROPRIATION: An authorization by the General \n \nAssembly 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. \nAPPROPRIATIONS 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 appropriation bill. \nATTACHED AGENCIES: Small agencies are sometimes attached to a larger state agency for \"administrative purposes only II to reduce administrative costs by consolidation. Authorities by .law cannot directly receive state funds and are attached to budgeted state agencies for any state appropriations that might occur. \nATTRITION: A means of reducing state employment, especially during economic slowdowns, by eliminating positions as they become vacant rather than fl1ling them with new employees. \nAUSTERITY REDUCTIONS: Spending cuts throughout all departments of state government as a result of slower growth in revenues than expected, resulting in projected shortfalls in anticipated revenue growth. \nAUTHORITY: A public corporation which, prior to the state being able to issue general obligation bonds, issued revenue bonds to construct public facilities. \nAUTHORITY LEASE RENTAL: A mandatory appropriation required by the State Constitution to repay bonds that have been sold by the authorities described above. The last of these securities will mature in F.Y. 1998 for the Jekyll Island-State Park Authority. \nBUDGET: A complete fmancial plan for a specific fiscal year as proposed in the Governor's Budget Report and as modified and adopted by appropriation and revenue acts. \nBUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY AND PLANNING ACT: An Act passed by the 1993 General Assembly that fundamentally changes Georgia's budget process. The Act makes accountability and efficiency the driving forces behind budget decisions, as well as the attainment of agreed-upon directions which have been outlined in comprehensive strategic plans for the state and each agency. Expenditures will be more closely linked to program achievements and outcomes. The measure mandates an ongoing review of agency continuation budgets and a more detailed review of expenditures at the individual program level. Agencies are encouraged to \n \n634 \n \n GLOSSARY \n \nimplement cost-saving measures through a system of monetary incentives that allows them to retain a portion of savings. Procedures and requirements for grant awards by state agencies also are established. \nBUDGET CLASS: A kind of expenditure denoting a class of service or commodities purchased or properties acquired as specified in the classification of expenditures under state law for use in expenditure accounting, in the making of budget estimates, and in the budget reports and budgets. Also known as an object class. \nBUDGET CYCLE: A period of time in which a specific budget is in effect, usually 12 months. See fiscal year for dates applying to state and federal budgets. \nBUDGET ESTIMATE: A statement which accompanies explanations, as required by state law, in which a budget unit states its financial requirements and requests appropriations. Also known as an agency's budget request which must be submitted to OPB by September 1 of each year. \nBUDGET MESSAGE: A speech by the Governor to the General Assembly in which the Governor outlines his spending proposals and recommendations for additional revenues, if any, that are embodied in an accompanying budget document. The formal budget message, dealing with the outyear budget, is made to a joint session during the first week that the Legislature convenes. A speech detailing the Governor's Amended Budget recommendations is made to a joint session of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees during the week before the session. \nBUDGET REPORT: A document which displays all programs, efforts and expenditures which are recommended by the Governor for each agency during a specific fiscal year. The Budget Report includes the Governor's estimate of state revenue to be available during the fiscal year. Also known as the \"big budget,\" the \"outyear budget\" and the \"Governor's budget.\" \nBUDGET UNIT: A department, board, commission, office, institution or other unit of organization which has, under general law, an independent existence and thus is authorized to receive and expend an appropriation. An agency may have one or more budget units in the Appropriation Act. \nCAPITAL OUTLAY: A budget object class by which cash is appropriated to construct or renovate public facilities. \n \nCONFERENCE COMMITTEE: A group of six legislators--three Representatives and three Senators--who are appointed by the presiding officers of the respective houses to reconcile different versions of the appropriation bills and other legislation that have been passed by the House and the Senate. \n \nDEDICATED FUNDS: Funds collected from a specific revenue source that must be appropriated for a specific expenditure. An example in Georgia is motor fuel tax funds, which must be constitutionally appropriated for programs related to providing and maintaining an adequate system of public roads and bridges. \n \nDEBT LIMITATION: The State Constitution places a ceiling on state indebtedness by limiting general obligation bond debt service payments to 10 percent of net treasury receipts for the prior fiscal year. \n \nEMERGENCY FUND: An appropriation to the Office of the Governor that is set aside for the Governor to provide grants to state agencies to meet emergency needs. Grants from the fund cannot involve a recurring obligation. \n \nENHANCEMENT FUNDS: Funding in F.Y. 1998 for required services that are above the 100 percent adjusted base level. Agency requests for enhancement funds were limited to 6.5 percent of the adjusted base. \n \nENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS: Certain programs, usually federal in origin, that provide benefits to individuals based on specific eligibility requirements. Examples are Medicaid and AFDC benefits. \n \nFEDERAL FUNDS: Funding from the federal government to pay for all or portions of specific programs.

Language in each Appropriation 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. \nFISCAL YEAR.

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. \nINDIRECT FUNDING: The Appropriation Act each year allocates $16.1 million in direct funding to the Department of Administrative Services 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. \n \nFRINGE BENEFITS: Benefits that are provided to state employees over and above their salaries, as an inducement to employment. These benefits include retiremel'lt, health insurance and employer Social Security contributions.

Appropriations are made for a single fiscal year. At the end of that period, any unexpended or unencumbered fund balances lapse into the state's general treasury, unless otherwise provided by law. There are two kinds oflapses. 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. \nLAPSE FACTOR: A budgeting tool that withholds funds from appropriations, based on anticipated employee turnover and lower employee replacement costs. \nLEGISLATIVE BUDGET OFFICE: An agency within the Legislative Branch that serves as budget advisor to the General Assembly. \n \nGUARANTEED REVENUE BONDS; Bonds which have principal and interest payable from earnings of a public enterprise. The state is required by law to appropriate one year's debt payment and to retain the total at that level until the bonds have been retired.

The reserve totals one percent of the prior year's net revenue collections, to the extent that surplus funds are available. It is established prior to the Revenue Shortfall Reserve, which is explained elsewhere. \nMOTOR FUEL RESERVES: All motor fuel funds are allocated for public roads and bridges by the State Constitution. If actual motor fuel tax collections exceed the estimate, these funds are set aside in a reserve and are appropriated in a subsequent Appropriation Act. \nNON-APPROPRIATED FUNDS: Monies that are received or spent that are not contemplated by an Appropriation Act.

The F.Y. 1997 redirection level cannot exceed 100 percent of the F. Y. 1996 adjusted base budget. \nRESULTS-BASED BUDGETING: A form of budgeting in which resources are allocated in such a way as to achieve specified, agreed-upon results--for instance, a reduction in\" infant mortality.

Although revenues will continue to grow, we must constantly plan ahead while adequately meeting the existing needs of our citizens. I have done this in my amended budget recommendations. \nOf the new fund availability I am recommending that we allocate $116,290,516 for new program expenditures, primarily to adjust education funding for increased student enrollment and to begin to modernize the Revenue Department. I am also recommending $133,870,675 in lottery funds for education improvements and $202 million to pre-fund general obligation debt payments due in F.Y. 1998. Using surplus funds to pre-fund debt service requirements is a wise and prudent use of resources since it does not start new program expenditures. \nThis Amended Budget Report increases appropriations for the state's current F.Y. 1997 budget by a net of $452, 161,191. This is an appropriation of surplus and reserve funds made available by revenue growth above low-range estimates and by unspent appropriations during the fiscal year that ended last June 30. \nFund availability for this amended budget reached $581,161,191 due to three factors-state revenue growth from taxes and fees increased by 8.5 percent instead of the 7.0 percent which our financial plan required; lottery surplus of $134 million; and audited agency lapses totaled more than $126 million. \nI have also taken an action to ensure that the elimination of the last of the four-cents sales tax on groceries in October of 1998 not put a strain on the budget for F. Y. 1999. I have lowered my current-year revenue estimate and offset this change with surplus to make $129 million available for the last stage of the tax reduction in F. Y. 1999. \nMy spending recommendations include: \n $93,231,375 in public school mid-term adjustments required as a result of three percent growth in student enrollment in the fall of 1996. \n \n  $133,870,675 in new lottery spending for education, including $19,845,366 to serve at least 57,000 students in the pre-kindergarten program, $63,569,201 in growth capital outlay for public schools, and $28 million for the Georgia Research Alliance to fund research and development leading to economic growth in Georgia. \n $15,154,832 to launch a five-year program to modernize the Department of Revenue into a more efficient and effective organization. An additional $6,182,668 will be recommended in the F.Y. 1998 budget, increasing first-phase funding at the 1996 legislative session to $21,337,500. \n $14,675,283 in transfers from hospital services to community-based programs for needy Georgians. \nThe amended spending program also achieves a major milestone in recommending changes that will eliminate the AFDC welfare entitlement program and replace it with a new block grant program that has twin goals of assisting Georgia's needy families to become self-supporting and preventing out-of-wedlock pregnancies that have created much of the need for welfare assistance. \nI have long believed that the amended budget should be used only for mandated and critical needs. I have followed that policy in this budget. Providing for basic and necessary expenses now while planning ahead for the F. Y. 1999 budget is very sound financial planning and will avoid budgetary hardships in the future. \n~~ GOVERNOR \n \n BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \nREVENUES FOR EXPENDITURE \n The $452,161,191 in net new appropriations for the remaining months ofF.Y. 1997, as proposed by the Governor in this Amended Budget Report, came from the following sources: \n--$216,436,925 in state general fund surplus. --$126,049,247 in audited agencies'lapse (state general funds). --$124,142,354 in lottery surplus. --$9,728,321 in audited agencies' lapse (lottery funds). --$104,461,844 in Midyear Adjustment Reserves. --$342,500 in veto surplus. \n In addition to the above use of fund availability, the revenue estimate has been reduced by $129 million and replaced by available surplus. \n The recommendations in this document will increase the state's F.Y. 1997 appropriations to $11,793,346,344. \nGOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES \nEDUCATION (Lottery funds) \n $133,870,675 in new lottery spending for education, increasing lottery expenditures during F. Y. 1997 to $680,069,448, including funds lapsed or vetoed. The funds include: \n--$19,845,366 in additional funds for the pre-kindergarten program to serve 57,000 four-year-old students at public and private sites during the current school year. \n-$28 million to fund new facilities and equipment for the Georgia Research Alliance to expand its research and development efforts on behalf of promoting economic growth in Georgia. \n--$63,569,201 in cash capital outlay to meet the needs of fast-growing public school systems. \n--$17,504,158 for technical institutes, including $9,749,158 to purchase equipment for five new technical institutes expected to open in June or July of 1997; $6,255,000 in equipment for seven new facilities opening in F.Y. 1998 and $1.5 million to replace instructional equipment systemwide. The new institutes opening in 1997 include Athens-Elbert County satellite, Augusta-McDuffie County satellite, Macon-Milledgeville satellite, Moultrie-Tift County satellite, and Thomas Technical Institute. The new facilities opening in 1998 include Albany-Early County satellite, AltamahaAppling County satellite, Coosa Valley-Polk County satellite, Heart of Georgia-Eastman satellite, Lanier-Forsyth County satellite, North Georgia-Union County satellite and South Georgia-Crisp County satellite. \nEDUCATION (State general funds) \n $91,618,777 for the mid-term adjustment required because of an estimated three percent growth in emollment in the fall of 1996. The record mid-term adjustment surpasses F.Y. 1997 totals by some $14 million. \n $1,612,598 to fund Middle School Incentive Grants for 12 new school systems that have qualified for the program. \n $1,780,000 to increase funding for the Governor's Scholarship program for 2,651 students. \n $1.3 million to fund projected Pay for Performance awards. \n6 \n \n BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS \n $902,716 to provide Tuition for Multihandicapped grants to cover additional costs for residential placements for special education students. \n $490,111 to correct underfunding for the Severely Emotionally Disturbed program. \n $2,705,000 to increase funding for Tuition Equalization Grants for all eligible students attending private colleges. \n $396,880 to provide additional funds to the Quick Start program to provide services to new and expanding industries. \nHUMAN DEVELOPMENT \n A reduction of 469 positions and $12,646,034 in the Department ofHuman Resources as a result of various initiatives described below. \n $213,281,134 to eliminate the AFDC welfare entitlement program and implement Georgia's new program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), under provisions of the federal block grant and Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Title I.

O.e.G.A.) provides that the proceeds from the lottery be appropriated for programs in three areas: a voluntary pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds; scholarships and student loans; and capital improvements for education. Available lottery funds are now projected to be $680,069,448 for F.Y. 1997, including surplus and agencies audited lapse from F.Y. 1996. The Governor recommends $680,069,448 for the following programs. \nVoluntary Pre-Kindergarten for Four-Year-Olds \nThis program is designed to give Georgia's four-year-olds developmentally appropriate programs to enable them to begin kindergarten ready to learn. The Governor recommends funding of $204,982,285 in F.Y. 1997 to serve 57,000 four-year-olds at public and private sites. The increase of$19,845,366 is due to increased enrollment and increases in the numbers of projected services for at-risk students. \nHelping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) and Other Scholarship Programs \nThese programs are designed to increase higher education participation and completion rates for Georgia students. The Governor's recommendation for the HOPE program for F.Y. 1997 consists of the following components. All Georgia high school students who graduated in the 1993-1994 school year and after with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula will be eligible to receive a HOPE grant at any Georgia public college or eligible private institution in the state. College sophomores who were eligible for HOPE grants in 1993-1994 and later who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in their freshman year will receive grants for their sophomore year. College juniors who earned a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year. HOPE scholars in 1993-1994 and later who lost HOPE eligibility after their freshman year but achieved a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their sophomore year will receive grants for their junior year. College seniors who earned HOPE grants at the end of their sophomore year and who maintained a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year will receive grants for their senior year. HOPE grant awards for eligible students attending public colleges will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grant awards for students enrolled at eligible private colleges in Georgia, who meet the academic requirements described above, will equal the cost of tuition and mandatory fees up to $3,000. This second-tier HOPE Tuition Equalization Grant will be awarded in addition to existing Tuition Equalization Grants. HOPE grants will be paid to the colleges. \nAll students working toward a diploma at public technical institutes in the state will receive a grant equal to the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. Students, beginning with those who graduated from high school in the 1992-1993 school year, who are working toward a degree at public technical institutes in the state, and who earned a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the college preparatory curriculum or 3.2 cumulative grade point average in other curricula in high school, will receive a HOPE grant. This grant will be equal to the difference between the cost of tuition and mandatory fees and the amount paid by Pell or other federal grant programs, plus an allowance for textbooks. HOPE grants will be \n11 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \npaid to the technical institutes. Beginning July 1, 1993, any Georgia resident who earns a GED will receive a certificate worth $500 which may be spent for education-related purposes such as tuition, books, supplies or expenses related to the furtherance of the resident's postsecondary education. \nThe HOPE program will be administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. All non-administrative costs will be distributed to the University System, technical institutes and eligible private colleges. The cost for this program in F.Y. 1997 is projected to be $148,315,561. \nThe Georgia Military Scholarship Program provides up to 66 military scholarships for Georgia Military College students. Eligible students receive a low interest loan which will be forgiven if the individual participates in the reserve or in active duty in the United States armed forces. Total cost for F.Y. 1997 is $567,000. \nThe Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship provides a full scholarship to the dependent children of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1997 is $235,600. \nThe HOPE Teachers Scholarship Program provides forgivable loans to teachers who desire to obtain advanced degrees in teaching areas in which the supply of prospective teachers is in critical shortage, or who desire to enhance their critical teaching skills. Recipients who teach four years in Georgia public schools after receiving the loan will have their loans forgiven. Others will have one-fourth of the loan forgiven for each year they teach in Georgia public schools. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1997 will be $10,000,000. \nThe Promise Program provides forgivable loans of$3,000 per year to eligible, high achieving students who aspire to be teachers in Georgia public schools. Students, both resident and non-resident, who have completed their first two years of course work in public or private colleges with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 will be eligible to receive the loans. For each year a Promise scholar teaches in the public schools after graduation, onefourth of the loan will be considered repaid, so that after four years of teaching the loan will be repaid in full. Loan funds may be used at the student's discretion for tuition, dormitory fees, child care, transportation or other expenses related to education at the student's discretion. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1997 will be $2,000,000. \nThe Postsecondary Options Program pays tuition to allow eligible high school students to earn postsecondary course credit while still in high school pursuant to 29-2-161 O.C.G.A. The program includes a provision allowing those students living beyond a reasonable commuting distance from public colleges but within a reasonable commuting distance from a private college to attend the private college under the Postsecondary Options Program. The cost of this program in F.Y. 1997 is $1,510,000. \nThe total cost of all scholarship, loan and grant programs recommended by the Governor is $162,628,161. \n12 \n \n RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF LOTTERY PROCEEDS BY PROGRAM \nCapital Expenditures for Education In addition to the current F.Y. 1997 capital appropriations for lottery totaling $117,939,033 and the technology appropriations totaling $82,709,660, the Governor recommends the following. $1,800,000 for equipment for two eminent scholars and three research facilities (including the Precision Farming Center of Excellence) for the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA).
