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
This program is funded from Self-generated revenue derived from federal, state and local government for hangar rentals, fueling, and maintenance charges.
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 101.8% of the existing operating budget. It represents 95.8% of the total request ($1,337,027) for this program. All applicable statewide policy adjustments have been applied to this ancillary program. The increase in recommended over existing operating budget is tied to personnel costs – additional overtime to address workload demands; additional retirement contribution funding associated with employee who replaces Deferred retirement Option Plan (D.R.O.P) employee who is scheduled to retire July of 1999; and termination pay for the retiring employee. The major differences between total request and total recommended are projected inflation costs $31,019 not being funded and various statewide policy reductions totaling $6,641. The recommended funding level provides adequate funding for this ancillary program to continue current level of service with emphasis and priority being safety of operations.
