ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of Administration (COA) assume the proposed legislation should not result in additional costs or savings to the COA during the specified period. However, officials noted that there will be costs starting in FY 2005.
Officials from the Department of Health (DOH) assume the proposed legislation would not be expected to significantly impact the operations of the department. If the proposed legislation were to substantially impact the DOH programs, then the department would request funding through the appropriations process.
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DES) assume the proposal would result in the need to hire one Sr. Budget Analyst (1 FTE at $47,616 per year) to develop, coordinate and/or conduct the cost/outcome analyses for the DES's individual services and programs. Annual costs, including salary, fringe and associated expense and equipment would be approximately $70,000.
Officials from the Department of Economic Development assume the proposal could result in additional overtime payments in preparing for the review. However, it is not estimated to be a significant impact.
Officials from the Department of Conservation (MDC) assume the performance-based budget review could require some additional personnel time and, consequently, some fiscal impact. The amount of fiscal impact is unknown.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume the level of effort that will be involved in the performance-based review evaluation that may be requested by the budget and appropriations committees is unknown. Depending on the level of effort required in completing these performance-based reviews, the DNR may need to consider requesting resources for this effort.
Officials from the Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBH) the majority of the CBH staff's budgetary work involves cooperating with the 23 Missouri institutions of higher education. Since it is unknown specifically what would be included in such a review, it is unknown whether or not current CBH staffing levels would be adequate to perform a review including all Missouri public colleges and universities.
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Director's Office (DPS) assume the proposed
ASSUMPTION (continued)
legislation would result in fiscal impact due to the need of additional FTE and the related
expense and equipment. The DPS would need two (2) Accountant II's ($37,488/each) to compile data and supporting documentation for performance-based review. Officials noted that once the process is developed, it would be an ongoing process. The DPS would also need one (1) Clerk Typist II ($20,472) to provide clerical support for performance-based review procedure and one (1) Computer Information Tech. Specialist ($47,100) to assist smaller divisions to develop computer programs which will collect data needed to compile spreadsheets to support performance-based review.
Officials from the Department of Transportation assume the performance-based review information necessary can not be determined at this time. Assuming that the performance-based budget review would require additional detailed information other than the information gathered by the department's current system, one additional Senior Budget Analyst will be needed. The Senior Budget Analyst will monitor and gather the information required for the performance- based budget reviews. Annual costs, including salary, fringe and associated expense and equipment would be approximately $70,000.
Officials from the Department of Corrections, Department of Revenue, Department of Insurance, Department of Mental Health, Department of Agriculture, Office of State Courts Administrator, Veterans' Commission, Missouri State Water Patrol, State Emergency Management Agency, Division of Liquor Control, Division of Fire Safety, Capitol Police and the National Guard assume the proposed legislation would have either no or minimal fiscal impact on their agencies that could be absorbed with existing resources.
In response to similar legislation (HB 363), officials from the Department of Public Safety - Division of Highway Safety assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
In response to similar legislation (HB 363), officials from the Department of Social Services assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
Oversight assumes some agencies could experience increased workload to implement this proposal. However, it is possible additional duties could be absorbed with existing resources.
The proposal states that this review will occur at least once every five years, on a rotating basis, after January 1, 2004. Therefore, this date includes only six (6) months of the scope of this fiscal note. If an agency determines that additional resources are needed, such resources could be requested through the normal budgetary process.
