DIFFERENCE (TOTAL RECOMMENDED AND EXISTING OPERATING BUDGET)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 82.8% of the existing operating budget. It represents 81.9% of the total request ($2,171,560) for this program. The (17.2%) decrease is due to nonrecurring funding for Phase I and Phase II of the River Oaks Square Arts Center in Shreveport and nonrecurring acquisitions and major repairs. this program does not have any positions that have been vacant for one (1) year or more. The Total Recommended amount above includes $40,000 and one (1) position of Supplementary Recommendations of which $0 is State General Fund for the increased work load due to the increase in out-of-state advertising in the Office of Tourism. Funding of this Supplementary Recommendation is dependent on renewal of the current sales tax rate of 3% on the sales tax suspension of exemptions base.
