OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indicators are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The Administration and Support Program of Northwest Developmental Center is funded from a combination of Interagency Transfers and Fees and Self-generated Revenues. The Interagency Transfer means of financing includes: Title XIX reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid-eligible residents through the Department of Health and Hospitals, Medical Vendor Payments Program; funds provided from the Department of Education for the Special Milk Program; payment for support services provided to the Pines Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Center; and Special School District Number 1. Fees and Self-generated Revenues include receipts from pay telephones and payments from patients for services based on a sliding fee scale.
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 97.3% of the existing operating budget. It represents 80.0% of the total request of $5,565,489 for this program. The major reason for the decrease from existing operating budget is a reduction in Risk Management Premiums of $134,120.
