STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS RHODE ISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center 16 Reactor Road Narragansett, RI 02882-1165 Mr. William B. Kennedy, Project Manager Research and Test Reactors Branch A Division of Policy and Rulemaking Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 January 4, 2010 Re: Letter dated November 24, 2009 Docket No. 50-193
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
We are responding to the decommissioning aspects of the subject letter in a separate communication to you from the Chairman of the Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC). This letter addresses questions relating to our financial resources to continue safe operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center (RINSC) during the requested twenty year license renewal period.
The Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission's primary source of funding to cover operating costs is provided by an annual appropriation from the Rhode Island Legislature.
Other sources of revenue include federal grants and payments from the University of Rhode Island for radiation safety services. The latter is used primarily to cover personnel costs under an historical agreement with the University of Rhode Island. Personnel costs account for approximately 85% of the total expenditures. The General Revenue numbers shown in the table approximate annual operating costs. All other sources of revenue are sent to the Rhode Island General Fund and returned to the RINSC as needed.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, the RIAEC has requested $884,116 from the general revenues of the state of Rhode Island. For Fiscal Years 2012 through 2015, the RIAEC expects an annual increase of approximately 3% to that appropriation. That projection is based on historic data that generally shows that annual growth.

Dear Governor Carcieri:
This letter transmits the Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC) FY 2010 Budget.Request. We have instituted numerous cost saving measures to meet the budget reduction targets for 2009 and 20i0 which include eliminating state funded maintenance, computer equipment and supplies, training, outside printing, out of state travel, overtime and equipment. We view these cuts as deleterious to the long-term future of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science. Center. We have utilized federal funds, where legal, to offset shortfalls in state funding. Unfortunately, the Department of Energy dropped all support for research reactors this year and it will be at least a year until funding is restored. We have offset this funding loss by instituting an overhead charge on the University of Rhode Island sponsored research account to make up for revenue shortfalls.
Still, it will be difficult to achieve the required personnel turnover needed to meet budget targets. Any additional cuts to personnel or basic operating budget items will result in a situation where we may not be in compliance with state and federal regulations regarding the safe operation of the facility. We anticipate the need for supplemental funding during the 2009 and 2010 budget years due to the loss of federal funds. A Supplemental Appropriation Request will be submitted when we have a better feel for the federal funding picture.
Sirrely, f*.

Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center PROGRAM TITLE: Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center Operations PROGRAM EXPLANATION:
The Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center (RINSC) is used for medical, biological, environmental and materials research, education and commercial activities. In addition, the staff runs the radiation safety program for the University of Rhode Island. The Director serves on the State Radiation Advisory Commission and has taken over responsibility for low-level radioactive waste disposal activities from the Department of Environmental Management. In this capacity, he serves as the Governor's Representative to the National Low Level Waste Forum.
The Center's state-of-the-art analytical laboratories and equipment are currently being used for several environmental monitoring projects. A new classroom and educational counting laboratory were completed this year with federal grant funds. Local colleges are utilizing the facilities for classes and student projects. The facility continues the process of improving security and upgrading reactor equipment that have been financed through. Department of Energy (DOE)
Grants. A high security gate has been installed at the rear of the lab building and work is proceeding on improving security in the rear of the facility.
In 1993, the reactor was converted to a new low enriched uranium fuel system that has greatly reduced seqpurity requirements and associated costs while providing a significant improvement in performance. The use of grant monies has resulted in the addition of upgraded mechanical and electronic equipment necessary to substantially increase reactor capability. These improvements will permit the RINSC to compete successfully for production of medical isotopes, will provide the neutron flux to do. meaningful research in neutron scattering science and will provide the necessary neutron flux to conduct Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) that is a promising new method of curing deep cancers.
This year, RINSC upgraded the reactor control systems using industrial automation software and hardware. The rod controls system was replaced with controllers,, encoders and new stepper motors. This project has increased the reliability of the control system and allowed removal of older controls, meters and chart recorders.
RINSC and University of Rhode Island have upgraded the large angle neutron diffractometer with new computer controls from Brookhaven National Lab and data acquisition with monies from the Department Of Energy,' Innovations in Nuclear Education and Infrastructure (INIE) Grant. RINSC was awarded an additional DOE, National Energy Research Institute (NERI) Grant that provided significant improvements to our neutron scattering science capability. The custom electronics and computer system built by Oak Ridge National Lab for a second diffractometer will allow RINSC to complete with the Page 1
BR-10 NarratiVe Information Revised 8-24-08 Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)
Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center National Labs and other universities for neutron science research initiatives like the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).
RINSC and University of Rhode Island were awarded a grant in collaboration with MIT and other universities for GNEP activities. Part of this DOE grant will provide funds to URI in support of starting a Minor in Nuclear Engineering in the Spring 2008. As part of this effort, RINSC is converting available space into a classroom and another place into a multiple station counting lab. Spring 2008, URI will teach a Nuclear Detection and Measurement course at RINSC. RINSC has purchased six single channel analyzers for the laboratory experiments associated with the course. The monies for this equipment will come from the DOE sponsored INIE program. Providence College Physics Department will also make use of this new Laboratory Equipment for their Modern Physics Course.
RINSC has completed an educational -license agreement with IndoSoft Ltd.. RINSC will be able to use IndoSoft software to provide remote classroom training. RINSC and URI's work with neutron scattering science will be made available to the URI Physics Students on the main campus through this program. The program is expected to provide a remote classroom at the URI main campus. Remote training will also be made available to Providence College and Brown University providing remote laboratory training for Neutron Activation Analysis.
Engineering and design and fabrication work is currently in progress for the construction of a cancer treatment facility that is being funded by Dr. Karl Ott of Purdue University and a commercial Company. Researchers at Brown University and RINSC have a collaborative effort with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop a successful treatment
.for one of the most deadly forms of brain cancer. The results of this work has allowed Dr. Leith associated with RINSC and Brown University to apply for a larger NIH grants to support and continue this work.
Dr. Alex Pszenny is currently conducting a major study of pollution outflow, which has expanded from only the Northeast United States to the West Coast and Cape Verde off the African Coast under the multi-agency CHAOS Program. This study uses the reactor to analyze samples for Bromine and Iodine as a means of determining Ozone depletion and its effect on pollution values. The neutron activation process for trace metal analysis has been shown as a viable method to further improve the pollution model and funding. has been requested to continue this type of analysis. This project is a long term effort that will extend for several years.
Dr. Jennifer Perry at Pomona College, Anthropology Department and URI, Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) are conducting experiments with prehistoric stone samples. A graduate student from GSO Narragansett Bay Campus is participating in this new approach to use neutron activation analysis to categorize prehistoric stone tools.

Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center A new building for the production of sensors for weapons of mass destruction has been completed and is being utilized by SubChem Systems to do cutting edge research in underwater sensor development. This company has several grants from economic development agencies and utilizes several URI students in the research efforts.
RI Consultants has constructed a laboratory in the facility for proof of concept work in the area of radiopharmaceutical applications. They recently developed a new method of utilizing radioisotopes to prevent clogging of arteries after angioplasty and new targets for accelerators to produce specialized radioisotopes. They are currently developing a new phosphorus radioisotope with a company in South Africa. RINSC has given RI consultants authorization to perform QA.
work on the new phosphorus radioisotopes being developed in South Africa.
BioPAL, Incorporated is making extensive use of the reactor to conduct analysis of medical samples for a variety of treatment and research purposes including the area of stem cell research. They have pioneered the use of neutron activation analysis (NAA) to provide an alternative technique for in vivo cell tracking and quantifying studies. BioPal uses non-radioactive microspheres for measuring regional blood flow, gastrointestinal motility, particle handling by the pulmonary system, health of the liver and injected protein distribution. Nano-materials can be used to label and track stem cells. The microspheres have up to six different labels, that can be examined post experiment using NAA to identify the labels. No other technology can provide quantitative cell labeling in such a simple and non-intrusive manner.
Infoscitex Inc. is utilizing the reactor to develop a method of hardening glass for use in high performance solar cells.
Future work will include lazer analysis with URI.
RINSC is located at the University of Rhode Island, Bay Campus, in Narragansett. The Center contains a state-of-the-art nuclear counting. system, laboratories, a mass spectrometer, a class 100 clean room and facilities for handling and storage of radioactive material. The Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center has operated on a daily basis without incident since 1962.
STATUTORY HISTORY:
The Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission was established. in 1958 by Title 42, Chapter 27 of Rhode Island General Laws for the purpose of advising the governor and general assembly on matters relating to atomic energy and to construct and operate a nuclear reactor in the state.

LONG-TERM TRENDS:
The new methods for medical and biological diagnostics developed by BioPAL, Incorporated have significant commercial potential. The response to their products has been very positive on an international scope. They have invested a significant amount of money in advanced analytical equipment thathas enabled them to meet the steady growth in demand. The significant capabilities of a research. reactor in the area of activation- analysis has been the other reason that they have been able to grow so rapidly.*
Continued research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other facilities worldwide in the use of Neutron-Capture Therapy to cure brain and skin cancer holds real promise. for utilization of the RINSC reactor in the field of cancer treatment. A, research reactor is required to produce the necessary neutron beam and the future improvements to the RINSC beam will make it one of the few facilities that can perform this type of treatment. A fifteen-year lease has been signed with the Neutron Therapy Company to construct a state-of-the-art treatment facility with a highly advanced neutron filter. Also, in collaboration with Brown University and the Rhode Island Cancer Council, a team was formed to develop a treatment capability in Rhode Island. Current efforts focus on the development of gadolinium as the active agent in this therapy. A multi-year grant from the Department of Energy has been awarded to RINSC and MIT for this work and grants have been submitted to the National Institute Of Healthfor funding. of this research.
Continuing efforts to upgrade equipment will ensure the safe and reliable operation of the reactor for many years. The Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies building (CACS) that is located adjacent to RINSC provides much additional laboratory and office space for faculty and students that utilize the reactor for research. The combination of a modern reactor facility and the CACS building provides the support necessary for a world-class environmental research program.
The most disturbing long-term trend is the lack of staff to support new initiatives. Previous budget and staff cuts combined with retirements and loss of experienced operators to higher paying industry jobs has made it difficult to handle the significant increase in research work and commercial activities. The staff has continued to function because of the significant experience level and technical expertise of the remaining personnel. However, the extremely small staff 'and significant maintenance, administrative and watch standing -demands associated with daily reactor operation limit the amount of additional new work that can be undertaken. Subsequent to the events of 9/11, the staff has been required to spend much time meeting new federal requirements in the area of security from terrorist attacks.
There is currently no funding in the budget to support startup costs associated with commercial projects. Staff cuts made in the last few years has made it impossible to run the reactor more than one shift a day. A longer operational time is required to economically provide neutrons for potential new commercial operations. Due to continued budget cuts and Page.5
BR-10 Narrative Information Revised 8-24-08 Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)
Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center loss of researchers in the area of environmental chemistry, RINSC has been forced to terminate support for other state agencies in the area of radiological emergency response. In the event of a major radiological accident, RINSC would not be able to meet the technical and legal requirements that are necessary to do this work. Budget cuts have also necessitated the termination of support for other state agencies in the area of orphaned radioactive material. Such material is extremely expensive to dispose of and there is no funding for this program.
The recent. loss of the Assistant Director of Operations to a federal research reactor which doubled his salary highlights the fact that current pay-scales at RINSC are not competitive with the resurgent nuclear industry. Several'senior staff members are close to retirement and it will be very difficult to hire qualified replacements.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES:
Since the charter of the Center is to support education and research, 'there is no simple' indicator that best reflects performance. Much of the research and training is. unique and not easily quantifiable. The large amount of effort that is expended on the URI safety program is not captured in these performance measures and the large amount of time and effort expended in project development is also missed, However, two* statistics have been developed to capture the operational performance of the reactor- since this is easy to quantify. The number of samples irradiated by the reactor provides a simple measure of reactor usage and is therefore provided. The current operating hours of the reactor as compared to the historical record of seven hour days/ 5 days a week provides an indicator of the effects of reduced staff, and funding while, also, reflecting- the potential of the reactor to increase research support should increased support *be obtained.
- 1. Sample-hours: This parameter relates to samples that are irradiated in the reactor and counted on the Center's computer system after being processed in the various. laboratories.' Reactor operating Hours: This parameter compares current operations to the historical level of 7 hrs/day for 5 days/wk.
- 2. Reactor operating Hours. This number compares current operations to the historical level of 7 hrs/day for 5days/wk.

Agency 052 RHODEISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION Project ED/Name: RINSC5 Decommissioning. RINSC and Reactor Project
Description:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires an approved Decommissioning Plan prior to shutting down the nuclear reactor. This plan would cost $500,000-800,000 to develop and approval would take around two years. Until the nuclear fuel is removed, the facility must comply with all license requirements..
Project Justification:
The state is responsible for safely decommissioning the reactor and all costs associated with decommissioning. Since the state has no disposal site for class B & C radioactive waste. The ability to complete decommissioning is questionable at this time.
Project Status:
The RIAEC does not plan to decommission the reactor as long as it has adequate funds to operate it safely.

State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations State House Providence, Rhode Island 02903-1196 401-222-2080 Donald L. Carcieri Governor January 31, 2008 To the Honorable, the General Assembly:
The State of Rhode Island is at a turning point. The Fiscal Year 2009 Budget I propose today reflects the reality of our fiscal situation and points the State in the direction which I believe we must lead the State.
This FY 2009 budget contains general revenue expenditures below our Fiscal Year 2008 spending, both enacted and revised. The reductions in this budget are necessary because our FY 2009 resources will be less than our FY 2008 resources. I am proposing sweeping changes to our State's Family Independence Program in order to preserve the core principals of the federal TANF Program and increase work participation rates. My "Work First" initiative will encourage personal responsibility and promote family independence. I am also proposing major reforms to the State's Medicaid funded programs to promote a person-centered, cost effective health care delivery system with transparency and accountability.
I am proposing efficiencies through reorganization of State government in four major areas, the Office of Health and Human Services, the Public Safety function, the Environmental function, and Advocacy for older persons and persons with disabilities. Concurrently, I am proposing efficiencies through the physical consolidation of agencies in order to reduce outside rental costs and better utilize state properties.
I am proposing to significantly reduce personnel costs by reducing the number of filled FTE positions and contract employees. Since July, we have achieved 379 state employee vacancies and we will reduce the total state workforce by 1,000 this year. My Budget will make state government smaller and more affordable for taxpayers. I have reached out to various state employee labor unions to discuss
To the Honorable, the General Assembly January 31, 2008 Page 2 concessions for both FY 2008 and FY 2009. The funding levels I am recommending for local governments will require them to make similar changes in their government operations, and I have proposed legislation to help them do that. These changes are needed for a structurally sound budget that can be sustained this year and in future years.
I look forward to working with members of the General Assembly on the major issues facing us.
Sincerely, Donald L. Carcieri Governor I

Overview State and local governments are at a crossroad. The path that is chosen will Rhode Island impact state and local governments' ability to provide necessary services to Governments are at a Rhode Islanders at a cost that is affordable in the future. The Governor's Crossroad budget recommendations for FY 2009 present a path leading the State to a position of fiscal balance. In order to achieve structural balance, we must constrain our expenditure growth to a rate less than the rate of growth for our revenues. To do this, we must make major changes in the way the State provides services to its citizens and how they are financed. The FY 2009 budget reflects changes in the three largest categories of expenditures: personnel, assistance grants and benefits, and local aid. Savings in personnel, which commenced during FY 2008, will continue in the.FY 2009 budget. State government will operate with fewer state employees and contract employees. The State's retiree health benefits will be funded for the first time on an actuarially sound basis, providing for a transparent view of the cost of the promises made to current and future retirees. Major changes to the ways in which Medicaid services are procured and delivered are recommended. The Family Independence Program will be restructured to promote work participation and family units. With respect to local government spending, the Governor recommends legislation which will help local governments take control of their spending and be more accountable to their property taxpayers.
General revenue funded expenditures in FY 2009 total $3.272 billion.
This is $130.9 million less than the FY 2008 enacted budget, a 3.8% State GeneralRevenue reduction. All funds expenditures for FY 2009 are $6.889 billion. Of Spending in FY2009 is this total, $3.273 billion, or 47.5 percent, is from general revenue, Less than in FY2008

This includes agencies and Savings, , moving between state owned, properties as is the case of the hospital consolidation plan, ,the centralization of back office functions within the Office of Health and Human Services, and, the consolidation of the advocacy agencies with the Department of Elderly Affairs. The plan also includes the movement of agencies from private rental property to state facilities. The plan includes the movement of the Department of Business Regulation from rented space to the Center General Building as a co-occupant with the Department of Labor and Training, and the movement of the Office of Higher Education, the Labor and Training Board of Review, to the Hazard Building. These moves will save over $1.0 million in FY 2009. Additionally, the State Police will remain at their Scituate location, with Rhode Island Capital Plan funds providing for expanded facilities rather than use the general 'obligation bonds which were authorized for a larger, more expensive facility. The Governor does not recommend the construction of a new Blackstone Valley Courthouse. The Governor recommends the state re-use of the DCYF Administration/School Building which will be vacated upon completion of the new DCYF facilities. The capital budget uses funds available in the enacted budget to renovate the building for use as the state's Data Center. This will allow for the centralization of all Information Technology personnel at one location, and movement of hardware from the Johnston site.

Overview During FY 2007, the Governor and legislative leaders of the General Assembly requested technical assistance from the -Council of State Corrections Governments (CSG) Justice Center to develop policy options that Reform would address the accelerated growth in inmate population from 15.
percent in the period 1994-2994 to a possible 21 percent over the next ten years. These options were intended to reduce inmate populations (thus reducing spending for corrections), increase public safety, and improve conditions in the neighborhoods to which released offenders would return.
In April 2007, a "working group", consisting. of representatives from the District Court, Superior Court, the Attorney General, the Public Defender, the.Senate Majority Leader, the House Finance Committee, the Office of the Governor, the Department of Corrections and the Council of State Government, was formed to consider the policy options generated by the CSG. After discussion and suggestions from all members were considered, the-group formulated the following measures which are included in'Article 7 of the FY 2008 Supplemental Budget request:
Standardized Earned Time for Good Behavior: The current statute allows for good behavior awards at a rate of one day per month for each year of sentence up to ten years, capped at ten days per month, and limited to inmates serving sentences greater than six months'. The proposed change would, following the practice in other jurisdictions, extend the reduction to all short-term (one month or more) inmates (except those serving for life or a sentence for violation of sexual offenses). The option is expected reduce the inmate population by an average of 84 in FY 2009, 104 in FY 2010, and 259 in FY 2013.
Earned Time for Participation in Rehabilitation Programs: The proposed change wouldlaward a sentence reduction of up to five days per month for each month of active participation in a substance abuse, job training, or other rehabilitative program that has been identified as meeting a need specifically identified in the inmate's case plan, and a thirty day, reduction upon completion of such a program. The proposal would create incentives for offenders to use programs that would increase the likelihood of successfully transitioning to the community upon release, and thus would' reduce recidivism. The option is expected reduce the inmate population by an average of 55 in FY 2009 and 58 in FY 2010.
Improve Parole Board Use. of Data: The proposal directs the Board to develop guidelines for the release of an offender: based on his risk to publicsafety, as determined by a risk assessment analysis being developed by the Board. The proposal would ensure that the decision-making process is both data-driven and science based. The option is expected reduce the inmate population by an average of 43 in FY 2009 and 45 in FY 2010.
In order to secure long-term balance in the state's expenditures, the Entitlement Governor proposes to redesign both of the state's two largest entitlement Reform programs, Medicaid and Family Independence cash assistance. Reform legislation is included in the budget act for both programs. For Medicaid, the reform will convert the service delivery model from provider based to client-centered in programs in the Departments of Human Services, Children, Youth and Families, and Mental Health Retardation and Hospitals. The program will emphasize personal responsibility, home and community-based solutions, innovative delivery of services. Work First, the new cash assistance program, will also emphasize personal responsibility, with an emphasis on moving parents to unsubsidized employment and stablizing families. Job search and orientation supports will be combined with transportation and child care to create a setting and mindset leading to successful employment outcomes.
These reforms will lead to $66.7 million of general revenue savings in FY 2009.

Overview For FY 2009, the Governor recommends maintenance of total state aid at revised FY 2008 levels. Furthermore, he has. proposed a number of Local Government Aid initiatives to assist municipalities in reducing costs. In his "Municipal and Spending Fiscal Control and Responsibility Act", the Governor proposes initiation of a library collection of all municipal labor contracts. This is supplemented by an Article in the Appropriations Act whichrequires fiscal impact statements for all new municipal collective bargaining agreements two weeks before they can be signed. The Governor has also proposed applying the property tax cap to fire districts and revisions to retirement age and years of service requirements for municipal employees in the 32, communities. which participate in the state administered municipal employees retirement system. This will make:the municipal system comparable to the state reforms enacted. This change .is projected to save .over $4 million per year. In the FY 2008 Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Governor has proposed a statewide health insurance contract which would result in lower administrative fees and would provide for standardized-plan designs. He has also proposed that municipal employees be required to share the costs of health, insurance :at .the. same levels as state employees. For municipal employees, these two changes would result in annualized savings of over $7.5 million. Savings would be even greater for school district employees. Lastly, he has proposed in the new Appropriation Act that new accounting standards be formulated that. are comparable with the new standards recently, implemented for all school districts.
The Governor recommends that state government operate with fewer Statewide Personnel state employees and that several measures be taken to reduce the overall SavingsandReduction cost of the workforce. The Governor recommends targeted reductions -inForce and layoffs in personnel in certain agencies, based upon specific programmatic reductions (629.7 FTE), reflected as- "program reductions". It is projected that ,this reduction* will save $618,473. from -
all funds in. FY 2008 and $31.0 million in FY. 2009 in salaries alone. Savings including benefits are estimated to be $41.0 million in FY 2009. These, savings, are budgeted in the various departments and agencies. These are reflected as program reductions-in each agency, and can include both filled and vacant FTE positions. The recommendation also includes $60.6 'million in savings, of which $33.4 million is general revenues, for personnel savings 'that are currently ;being discussed with- union leadership. For display purposes, $33.6 million is reflected in medical benefit: savings and $27.0 million in salary and benefit savings. Additionally, the Governor's recommendation assumes $30.5 million in savings from all sources, $16.8 million from general revenues, from permanent position eliminations as a result of retirements for FY 2009. There are currently over 3,100 employees eligible to retire, whether by age or years of service. The Governor's recommendation assumes that 300 non-critical positions will be eliminated upon the incumbent's retirement. Overall, the state employee full time equivalent positions will be reduced from the FY 2008 enacted level of 15,987.3 to 14,796.6 in FY 2009, a reduction of 1,190.8 positions. Additionally, it is the Governor's goal to reduce contract employees by the 158.4 full time equivalent positions.
The Governor's recommendation includes six uncompensated leave days Uncompensated for all state employees. in FY 2008 that will reduce salary and benefit Leave Days expenditures by 2.3 percent. The budget assumes all state employees will receive less pay either for one day less pay per month (two days in May) or reduced paychecks for the remainder of the year. Employees will be credited one day of personnel leave in the pay period in which the salary reduction occurred. The personal 7
Overview leave must be discharged by December 31, 2008, and is not eligible for carry over to the next calendar year or for severance payments upon separation from state service. There are no exemptions for anyclass of employee, although limited period or seasonal employees will not be affected. Implementation of this measure will save $.14.8 million in general revenues, and-$25.6 million from all fund sources in FY 2008.
These savings are depicted within each department or agency.
The Governor recommends that the state fund retiree health benefits on an actuarial basis and amortize the unfunded liability over a thirty year " Retiree Health period,. This funding mechanism will provide transparency with respect Unfunded Liability to the ,true cost of the benefit offered': to state -employees' after employment. In compliance with GASB Statements 43 and 45, "Other ang en del Post Employment Benefits," in July, 2007, theý State obtained an Changes inEligibility actuarial estimate of the unfunded liability relating to retiree medical and Co-Share benefits. The unfunded liability as of June 30, 2005 was estimated to be approximately $534.3 million, including $427.3 million for State employees, $54.6 million for the 'Board of Governors, $32.2 million for State Police,,$17.7 million for the State's share for teachers, $216.million for Legislators, and $68,000 for Judges. This, was.calculated using a long term investment rate of return of 8.25%. The annual required contribution- as a' percentage of payroll would be 5.46%, 2.81%, 20.06%, .015%, 14.61% and .09% respectively. The enacted FY 2008 budget does not include funding on an actuarial basis, but continues to.provide funding for the pay-as-you go costs.
In order to address this unfunded liability and reduce the ongoing cost to the' taxpayer, the Governor recommends modifying eligibility requirements and co-share percentages for retiree health. Employees retiring after June 30, 2008 would be eligible for retiree 'health coverage through the state if they are age 59.or over with a minimum of 20 years of service. Currently an employee with over 10 years of service as of July 1, 2005 is eligible for retirement with at least 28 years of service at any age, or at least 10 years of service and at least age 60, and is therefore eligible for retiree heath. For those 'employees with less than 10 years of service prior to July 1, 2005, the employee must be age 59 with at least 29 years of service, age 65 with ten years of service,.or age 55 with 20 years of service. The Governor's proposal also modifies' the co-share percentage to require a 20 percent co-share on the full cost of the early retiree or post-65 plan in which the retiree is enrolled. Currently, early retirees'pay a co-share based on years of service on the active employee rate. For employees over age 60 with at least 28 years of service, the state pays 100 percent of the cost of the plan. The rate of payroll would. be reduced from the actuarial required rate of 5.46% without any changes, to 3.86% with the proposed changes. According to the actuary, the rate of payroll charge under the current pay as you go system would be 3.28%. These changes are projected to save $6.1 million from general revenues and $9.8 from all funds in FY 2009.
The Governor's recommendation utilizes a surplus generated in the Savings in Employee health insurance fund to offset the costs of FY 2008 medical benefits.
Medical Benefits State agencies will not be charged for the cost of employees medical benefits for the last three pay periods in FY 2008. This is estimated to save $11.0 million from general revenues and $19.3 million from all fund sources, net of corresponding percent of premium co-share reductions.
For FY 2009, the Governor's recommendation lowers the cost of budgeted medical insurance based upon current employee claims data adjusted for inflationary increases of 9.9 percent. This is estimated to save 8
Overview
$6.2 million from general revenue sources and $11.2 million from all fund sources compared to current service levels, which is a reduction of 6.5 percent.
In FY 2008, the Governor began a comprehensive review of all contract employee positions in state government. A total of 657 positions were identified in the Executive Branch, and these positions were categorized ContractEmployee to determine which positions should remain as contractors and which Reductions should be eliminated. Those positions that are either financed exclusively through a federal grant, highly technical, or on-call/intermittent were maintained as contract employees. A total of 193 positions, which comprised' a full-time equivalent of 158.4.positions, were identified for elimination. This reduction is estimated to save $9.8 million from all sources of funds inFY* 2009. Through the end of December 2007, 58 positions, equating to 50.6 FTEs, have been eliminated resulting in $2.8 million of savings.
The Governor recommends the privatization of Housekeeping and dietary Privatizationof services at the Eleanor Slater Hospital and dietary services at the
. Dietary and Veterans' Home in FY 2009, saving an estimated,$4ý8 million from all Housekeeping Services sources of funds, of which $2.5 million is from general revenues.
The Governor's recommendation includes* the privatization of dietary services at the Pastore and Zambarano campuses of the Eleanor Slater Hospital. Currently, these services are performed in-house. There are 88.0 FTE positions involved in providing dietary services to the patients at Eleanor Slater Hospital. The total personnel costs associated with these positions in FY 2009 are projected at $5.5 million and the cost of food is $1.3 million. The cost to privatize this function is estimated at $2.1 million, which is derived by multiplying the industry estimate ($5.23). per meal by the total number of meals (410,734). It is estimated that privatization of dietary services in FY 2009 will save
$3.5 million from all funds, of which $1.5 million is, general. revenues, net of unemployment benefits and medical severance costs...
The Governor recommends privatizing the housekeeping services at the Pastore and Zambarano campuses of the Eleanor Slater Hospital. Currently, these services are performed in-house. There are currently 67.0 FTE positions involved in providing housekeeping services to the patients at Eleanor Slater Hospital. The total personnel costs associated with these positions in FY 2009 are projected at $3.9 million. The cost to privatize this function is $2.4 million,($5.50 per cleanable square foot), as determined by a response to a Request for Proposals.

Overview Privatizationof The Governor recommends the privatization of the following activities in Corrections the Department of Corrections:
Functions
_ _ __ The Governor recommends the privatization of the counseling and case management function. Currently this unit is responsible for the initial classification of inmates (gathering information, to assess the risk factors involved in facility assignment),
counseling inmates during periodic reclassifications and discipline board-actions, counseling concerning good time and other information, and providing information to the Parole Board that enters into the grant of parole. The privatization would change the focus of the unit efforts to initial re-entry services by stressing case management and programming suited"to individual inmates. The Department feels that there are several community-based agencies with specialized expertise in providing services, as well as providing a link in the community once the inmate is released. The Department proposes a staff reduction of 33.0 FTE's (27.0 adult counselors; 4.0 classification counselors, 1.0 counseling services coordinator, and 1.0 coordinator of education) withl savings Of $2.7,million, as well as contract services for counseling and case manage-fient services of $2.3 million, for a net savings of $451,247. The budget recommendation also includes $551,370 in unemployment and medical benefit severance costs, for a net additional cost of the proposal of $100,024.
The Governor recommends the issuance of a statewide master contract for dental services, eliminating the need for state employees. Currently a majority of dental services are provided by contracted community based suppliers. Savings from elimination of state employees of $542,498 would be offset by an estimated& contract addition of $300,000 for such services. The budget recommendation also includes
$100,249. in unemployment and medical benefit severance costs, 'for a net savings of the' proposal of
$142,249. This would affect 4.0 FTE's and 10contract employees (6.0 dentists, 2.0 dental assistants; and 2.0 dental hygienists) would be affected.
The Governor recommends privatization of the Central Distribution Center (CDC). Currently the CDC is responsible'for purchasing food staples, janitorial items, and other iteinis for warehousing, and deliveryto state agencies, distributing USDA commodities under the Emergency Food Assistance Program to local community action agencies, the 'Food Bank, soup kitchens,' etc., :and distributing USDA commodities under the school lunch program to local school districts. Because of increasing salary and benefit costs, the surcharge charged to other state agencies has increased. 'Despite position eliminations, the program has operated at a deficit for the past two years. Sales have also decreased as agencies seek more economical means of obtaining supplies. Alternative models in such states as Connecticut, Colorado, Oklahoma, Maryland, North Dakota, and Mississippi use private companies and direct distribution, rather than centralized warehousing. The recommendation involves a reduction of 14.0 FTEs in the Internal Service Fund program, as well as a reduction in merchandise purchasing and warehousing expenditures, a total of $6.1 million. The Governor's recommended budget includes $409,258 in general revenue operating savings to be achieved by contracting with a private firm to perform the warehousing function, which would reduce the surcharge on purchased goods. It is expected that savings would occur by reducing the surcharge on food items from 25 percent to 10 percent. Funding of $211,535 was added to the Internal Service Fund budget for unemployment and medical benefit severance costs.

Overview The Governor recommends the privatization of all janitorial, services at Privatizationof Davies both the Dayies Career and Technic~il School and the Rhode Island and Schoolfor the School for the Deaf Currently there are 6.0 FTEs at. Davies and 3.0 DeafJanitorial FTEs at Deaf that perform janitorial services, for a total personnel cost of Services .$602,912. The cost to privatize these services is estimated at $358,696.
Net of unemployment and .medical severance costs, this proposal is estimated to save $122,839 from general revenues, in FY 2009-.
Transportation and the environment continue to be high priorities of the Governor. The FY 2009 budget includes two proposed. bond referenda for the November 2008 ballot. These are a $35.0 million referendum for a open space, farmland preservation, recreational deve lopment, and for LimitedNewDebt Narragansett Bay and Watershed Restoration and an $87.2 million Financing referendum for transportation, including commuter rail and. R!PTA buses.
Due to the current fiscal environment facing the state, the Governor has chosen to significantly limit the number and amount of bond referenda this year. The capital improvement plan includes several new bond initiatives, particularly in higher education, that would be. proposed for inclusion on theNovember 2010 ballot.
The Governor is also requesting approval for two new Certificates of Participation issuances in FY 2009.
The first would authorize $23.9 million in debt to renovate two buildings at the Pastore Government Center, one for use as office space by. human services agencies and the other for use by the Registry of Motor Vehicles as their new headquarters. Once completed, the state will save significant funding due to the elimination of outside rental costs.
The second request is for a $52.0 debt issuance to fund energy conservation projects at both the Pastore Government Center and the Zambarano Campus of the Eleanor Slater Hospital. These .projects, once completed, will result in significant reductions in energy use and thereby expenditure savings more than sufficient to cover the debt service costs. To undertake these projects, the State will enter into a contract with an energy services company that will guarantee the savings over the term of the debt issuance.

The Economy Introduction The Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) convenes at least twice each year, typically within the first ten days of May and November. Historically, the purpose of the conference was confined to forecasting current and budget year revenue estimates. During the 1998 legislative session, the Revenue Estimating Conference statutes were modified to also require the adoption of a:consensus economic forecast. Prior to the November 2001 conference, the conferees adopted a forecast for Rhode Island total employment, Rhode Island personal income, and the U.S. consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) covering the state's prior fiscal year, its current fiscal year, and the budget year.
In 2001 the Rhode Island Division of Taxation procured an updated personal* income tax simulation model. This acquisition required that additional economic variables be forecasted at the Revenue Estimating Conferences beginning with the. November 2001. conference. Thus, in addition to Rhode Island total employment, Rhode Island personal income and the U.S. CPI-U, forecasts for Rhode Island wage and salary, income, Rhode Island farm income, Rhode Island non-farm business income, Rhode Island dividends, interest and rent, Rhode Island total transfer payments, the Rhode Island unemployment rate, the interest rate for ten year U.S: Treasury notes, and the interest rate for three month U.S. Treasury bills are also agreed. upon at the Revenue Estimating Conference. Finally, the consensus forecast of these economic variables now includes the prior calendar and fiscal years, the current calendar and fiscal years, the budget calendar and fiscal years, and the next seven calendar and fiscal years..
ECONOMIC FORECAST This section describes the economic forecast used as input for the Revenue, Estimating Conference's consensus revenue estimates.
The Revenue Estimating Conference incorporates a range of economic forecasts and economic information in makin'g revenue estimates. During its November 2007 meeting, forecasts were presented by Moody's Economy.com and Global Insight. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training (DLT) also presented current employment and labor force trends.
As reported at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating. Conference, Rhode Island's labor market continues to display a shift from a manufacturing to a service based economy resulting in a gradual and positive rate of employment growth. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training reported that the unemployment rate rose. slightly through the third quarter of CY 2007. Rhode Island's total unemployment has consistently been below last year's unemployment figures through the three quarters of CY 2007. Rhode Island's unemployment rate remained above the national average for the fifth straight month in September 2007. Between September 2006 and September 2007, employment gains were made overall (+5,300) and in the following sectors: Leisure and Hospitality (.+1,200);
Professional and Business Services (+1,800); Educational & Health Services (+1,600); Construction
(+ 1,100); Other Services (+ 400); Financial Activities (+ 200); and Information (+ 100). The sectors experiencing year-over-year losses were Manufacturing (-1,400); Government (-700); and Trade, Transportation & Utilities (-100). At the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference, fiscal year forecasts for the following economic variables were agreed upon (all measures are for Rhode Island unless otherwise noted): total employment, total personal income, wage and salary income, dividends, interest and rent, the unemployment rate, the U.S. consumer price index, the interest rate for ten year 12
The Economy _
U.S. Treasury notes, and the interest rate for three month U.S. Treasury bills. Furthermore, the forecast of these economic variables includes the relevant calendar years and covers the period from 2008, through 2013.
The principals agreed that total non-farm employment would grow from 496.1 .thousand jobs in FY 2007 to 501.2 thousand jobs in FY 2008 and. 506.2 thousand jobs in FY 2009.. This gain of approximately 5,050 jobs in FY 2008 is about 1,283 more than forecasted in May 2007. In addition, the November 2007 REC forecasted job growth in FY 2009 of approximately 5,050 jobs, ,or . 1.0 percent growth, is about 800 more than forecasted in May 2007. Further, forecasted job growth for FY 2010 of 5,300 jobs, or 1.1 percent, is 500 jobs more than forecasted in May 2007. The adopted growth rates for non-farm employment from FY 2011 and FY 2012 of 4,300 and 3,900 represent a revision downward from the May 2007 Conference estimates of 5,100 jobs, or 1.0 percent growth and 5,100 jobs, or 1.0. percent growth, respectively. InNovember 2007, FY 2013 non-farm employment was estimated, for the first time,. at the rate of 0.8 percent, or 3,900 jobs%. -This employment refers to the number of. Rhode Island residents working, as opposed. to the -number of jobs in Rhode Island establishments.
In addition, Rhode Island's unemployment rate is forecasted to increase to 4.9 percentin FY 2008 from 4.8 percent in FY 2007 and then remain at its steady state equilibrium at 5.0 percent'for the period through FY 2013.
The November 2007 Conference forecasted that personal income peaked in FY 2007 and will slow through FY 2009 before accelerating in FY 2010 followed by a trailing off through FY 2013. The November 2007 Conference estimates for personal income .growth represented an upward revision in FY 2008 from 4.5 percent growth to 4.9 percent growth followed by downward revisions through 2012, averaging 4.3 percent growth for the FY 2009 through FY 2012 period down from dan average of 4.8 percent growth.. Like non-farm employment growth, personal income growth is expected to jump from 4.3 percent in FY 2009 to 4.5 percent growth in FY 2010 followed by a slowing trend. In FY 2009 personal income growth is expected to grow at a rate of 4.3 percent. The new consensus estimate for FY 2013 is 4.2 percent giowth, consistent with the principals' FY 2012 consensu's estimate of 4.2 percent personal income growth.
The November 2007 Conference forecasts consumer price inflation to slow to 2.4 percent in FY 2008 from 2.6 percent in FY 2007, bottom out at the trough with 1.9 percent growth in FY 2009, before climbing back to 2.0 percent growth in both FY 2010 and FY 2011,. rising further to 2.1 in FY 2012 and FY 2013. The average CPI is 2.1 percent for the six year fiscal period from FY 2008 through FY 2013. Testimony provided by Moody's Economy.corn and Global Insight indicated that should oil prices remain in the $90 plus per barrel price range for longer than anticipated, there could be an impact on consumer goods prices that rely on oil as an input or in transport costs.
The consensus economic forecast for the fiscal years 2008 to 2013 agreed upon by the conferees at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference is shown in the following table. This consensus economic forecast reflects the belief that the employment and income growth will remain slow but positive while the unemployment rate remains steady through FY 2013, with lower paying jobs as well as moderating consumer prices which will maintain moderate economic growth in Rhode Island with the regional risk of the positive impacts from continued job creation diminished by lower pay as well as nationwide risk from oil price, financial market, and credit market uncertainty.

General Revenues Introduction The Governor's recommended budget is based, on 'estimated general revenues. of $31440 billion in FY 2008 and $3.347 billion in FY 2009. ýAnnual estimated growth during EFY 2008 and FY 2009 is 6.5 percent and -2.7 percent, respectively. Estimated deposits of $68.8 million and $73.7 million will be made to the Budgei Reserve and Cash Stabilization Fund during these fiscal years. The contributions to the Budget Reserve and Cash Stabilization Fund are funded by limiting annual appropriations to 98 Percent of estimated revenues in FY 2008 and 97.8 percent of estimated revenues in FY 2009. The revenue estimates contained in the Governor's FY 2008 supplemental and FY 2009 recommended budgets are predicated upon the revenue estimates adopted at the November 2007 Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) and the Governor's recommended changes to the adopted general revenues.
The Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference is required by' tatute to convene at least twice annually to forecast general revenues for the current year and the budget year., based upon current law and collection trends, and the, consensus economic forecast. The Conference members are the State.:Budget Officer; the House Fiscal Advisor, and the Senate Fiscal. Advisor. Typically, the two required meetings of the Consensus Revenue EstimAting Conference*6ccir c in NoCmfer" anaiM M of each fiscal year.
FY 2008 Revised Revenues The November 2007 REC revised the enacted FY 2008 revenue estimate down by $113.3 million, a decrease of 3.3 percent. As shown in the General Revenue Changes to Adopted Estimates table in Appendix A of this document, the Governor's revised FY 2008 budget recommends an increase of
$80.6 million in revenues. This $80.6 million in recommended changes to the FY 2008 adopted estimates breaks down as follows:
e $26.0 million from repayment from RI Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation. for expenditures related to the Neighborhood Opportunities Program;

FY 2008 Revised Revenues vs. FY 2007 UnauditedRevenues Recommended revenues for FY 2008 are based upon a $228.7 million increase in total general revenues over unaudited FY 2007, or growth of 6.5 percent. The largest contributing factor to this increase is the securitization of tobacco settlement proceeds which resulted in general revenues of $42.5 million in FY 2007 and $124.0 million in FY 2008; anincrease of $81.-5 million. *Abouthalf'of the tax categories are expected to exhibit increased collections. The increases can be found in Personal Income Taxes, Business Corporate Taxes,. Public Utilities: Gross Earnings Taxes, Insurance Companies Gross Earnings Taxes, Bank Deposit Taxes, the;Health Care Provider Assessment, and Alcohol Taxes.
Personal Income. Tax collections are. forecasted to increase by $4.1 million, or 0.4 percent, due to increased, income tax withholding payments -of $13.4 million. This increase is largely *offset by expected decreases in estimated payments of $7.9 million, final tax payments of'$614,790, and increased income tax refund payments of $1.0 million. The revenue gains in personal income tax collections are reduced due to the utilization of the State's Historic Structures Tax Credit (HSTC) program. The HSTC program is estimated to cost the, State $38.8 million in personal income tax revenues in FY 2008. The increased. Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits also continue. to impact tax collections in FY 2007, as individuals and businesses continue to-reap the benefits of an improved tax structure in Rhode Island. Personal income 'taxes are expected to comprise 31.1 percent of all general revenues collected in FY 2008 and total $1.070 billion.
General Business Tax collections are projected to increase by $34.6 million, due primarily to increases in Insurance Companies taxes of $17.5 million and Business Corporations taxes of $15.4 million. The estimated increase in Business Corporations taxes is mainly due to the estimated $8.3 million in anticipated revenues from including deductible interest expenses and costs and intangible expenses and costs as net income enacted in the .2007 session and $3.5 million anticipated from including gross sales of tangible personal property shipped out of Rhode Island to a state where the taxpayer is not taxable as now taxable enacted in the 2007 session. Insurance Companies taxes are anticipated to generate $74.1 million in FY 2008. The increase in Insurance Companies taxes is mainly due to the expected $15.2 million from the tax on insurance companies to provide for a 1.1 percent gross premium tax on health maintenance organizations, any non-profit hospital or medical service corporations; excluding any business related to Title XIX of the Social Security Act enacted in the 2007 session. Both Business Corporations and the Insurance Companies taxes are impacted by the Historic Structures Tax Credit program. The estimated foregone revenue in Business Corporations taxes is $1.8 million in FY 2008.
For Insurance Companies taxes, an estimated $3.8 million less in collections is due to the HSTC program. Public Utilities Gross Earnings taxes are expected to generate $104.0 million in FY 2008.
The Health Care Provider Assessment is estimated to yield $52.3 million in FY 2008, an increase of
$4.3 million over the $48.0 million collected in audited FY 2007. The Financial Institutions Tax is projected to decrease by $4.5 million in FY 2008 to -$100,000.
Sales and Use tax collections are forecasted to decrease by $8.2 million or -0.9 percent over audited FY 2007 collections. Sales and Use taxes represent 25.1 percent of total general revenues in FY 2008.

General Revenues The strength in sales and use tax collections in Rhode Island is- very dependent on the State's housing market. In prior fiscal'years, historically low long-term interest rates and multiple rounds of mortgage refinancings by homeowners had made available a significant source of income that was used to remodel primary residences, purchase appliances, and retire personal debt. From the State's perspective, the distribution of this consumption activity is vital, as most of the spending had been concentrated on items, that are subject to the 7.0 percent state sales tax. As long-term interest rates began to rise, the State'shousing sector cooled substantially and this reduced housing sector activity has slowed the rate of growth in the sales and use tax collections. For FY 2008 sales and use tax collections are projected to be.$865.0 million.
Excise Taxes other than the sales and use tax are expected to decrease by $3.6 million- in FY:2008.
Motor vehicle operators license and vehicle registration fees are' expected to reach $44.5 million in FY 2008, a decrease of 5.1 percent from FY 2007 collections.. The Motor Fuel tax estimate of $1.2 million is .8.5 percent lower than FY 2007. collections. Thairevised FY 2008 Cigarette Tax estimate of
$119.1 million represents a 1.1 percent decrease over FY 2007 collections. Cigarette Tax collections are expected to decrease by $1.4 million. The State did not change its cigarette excise tax in FY 2007.
The cigarette floor stock tax is a one-time revenue that occurs only. when theState's' cigarette excise tax is increased. No increase in the State's cigarette excise tax was enacted in FY 2007. or FY 2008. As a result, no cigarette floor, stock taxes were collected.
Other Taxes are expected to decrease $6.0 million .,in FY 2008 relative to audited FY 2007. Of the total decrease in Other Taxes, Inheritance and. Racing and Athletics tax collections constitute a $121,166 decrease, the Realty Transfer tax constitutes a $1.3 million, decrease, and Inheritance and Gift Taxes are expected to yield $4.6 millionless in FY 2008 than in audited FY. 2007,. with estimated collections of $30.1 million. This expected decrease in Inheritance and'Gift Tax collections is due to the nature of the tax itself, which can be affected. markedly by the passing of a single wealthy taxpayer. Racing and Athletic Taxes are expected to continue their downward trend in FY 2008 totaling $2.8 million, a decrease of 4.1 percent' from FY 2007. levels. Realty, Transfer Taxes are expected to total $11.4 million in FY 2008, a decrease of 10.5 percent from audited FY 2007 collections.
In the Governor's FY 2008. supplemental budget,. Departmental Receipts are estimated at $338.8 million, an increase of $61.0 million from audited FY 2007 collections, or 22.0 percent.
In addition to the above general revenue components, increases are forecasted in FY 2008 for the Other Miscellaneous general revenue category, the Unclaimed Property Transfer~to the general fund:, and the Lottery transfer to the general fund whereas the Gas Tax Transfer to the general fund is forecasted to decrease inFY 2008. In the case of the Gas Tax Transfer, -a decrease of $19,602 is forecasted.
In the case of the Lottery Transfer, an increase of $28.5 million to $349.5 million is projected for FY 2008. It is an increase of 8.9 percent from the audited FY 2007 transfer. This increase is attributable primarily to the year-to-date experience of quickening growth in video lottery net terminal and may also possibly be affected by the completion of construction at the Twin Rivers (formerly Lincoln Park) gambling facility as the new owners have refurbished and revamped much of the facility.
In the case of Other Miscellaneous general revenues, a $94.3 'million increase to $181.2 million is projected. For FY 2008, Other Miscellaneous revenues are expected to make up 5.3 percent of recommended general revenues. FY 2007 Other Miscellaneous revenues include a proposed adjustment of $19.4 million for the transfer from the Budget Reserve Fund needed to close final FY 2007 with a 17
General Revenues balanced budget, particularly in light of the proposed audit. adjustment to reflect a $19.0 million liability for Financial-Institutions Taxes.
The chart below shows the sources of general revenues for the period FY 2006 - FY 2009. The values of the two major sources of general revenues, personal income taxes and sales and use taxes, are highlighted.

Revenues El Other Taxes B Other Sources FY 2009 ProposedRevenues The Governor's recommended FY 2009 budget estimates general revenues of $3.347 billion, a decrease of 2.7 percent from the, ýrevised FY 2008. level. The Governor's recommendation is comprised of
$3.193 billion of revenue estimated at the November 2007 Revenue. Estimating Conference and $154.2 million of changes to the adopted estimates. These changes are shown in the. schedule GeneralRevenue Changes to Adopted Estimates located in Appendix A of this document.
The largest source of FY 2009 general revenues is the Personal Income Tax, with estimated receipts of
$1.100 billion, $18.2 million more -than the November 2007 REC estimate for FY 2009. Personal Income Taxes are expected to comprise 32.9 percent of total general revenues in FY 2009. The $18.2 million increase over the adopted estimate in Personal Income Tax collections is due to the Governor's proposal to limit taxpayer usage of the. Historic Structures Tax Credit to $40.0 million. It should be noted that the Budget Office estimates that the FY 2009 Personal Income Tax estimate adopted at the November 2007 REC incorporated $52.9 million in revenue lost to the Historic Structures Tax Credit (HSTC) program. Relative to the revised FY 2008 budget, recommended FY 2009 Personal Income Taxes are $30.8 million greater, a growth rate of 2.9 percent.
18
General Revenues ° Sales and Use Tax collections are expected to total $888.4 million, in FY 2009, or no change from the FY 2009 estimate agreed upon at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating 'Conference. ý The Governor's FY 2009 recommended estimate signifies growth of 2.7 percent over the FY 2008 revised estimate. Sales and Use Taxes are anticipated to contribute 26.5 percent to total general revenues in FY 2009.
Motor Vehicle operator license and vehicle registration fees are forecasted to equal $46.3 million in FY 2009, a decrease of $132,452 from the November 2007 REC estimate. This decrease is the result of the Governor's proposal to pay the refunds for the Unified Carrier Registration Act (UCRA) out of general revenue receipts rather than through a ýrestrictedjreceipt account. Motor Carrier Fuel Use Taxes are estimated to reach $1.2 million in FY 2009, the same as the November 2007 REC estimate.
The other components of excise taxes, namely Cigarettes Taxes and Alcohol Taxes, remain at the levels adopted by the conferees of the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference. Cigarettes Taxes are estimated to decline by $1.8 million, or 1.5 percent, from the revised FY 2008 estimate. This decrease is a result of the estimated drop in cigarette consumption. Alcohol Tax revenues, however, are projected to remain unchanged in FY 2009 from the revised FY 2008 estimate.
General Business taxes represent 11.8 percent of total general revenue collections in the FY 2009 budget year. Business Corporation Tax revenues are expected to yield $160.3 million, an increase of 0.2 percent, or $300,000 from the FY 2009 estimate agreed to at the November 2007`REC. This increase is the result of the Governor's previously referenced proposal to cap usage Of Historic Structures Tax Credit which is expected to increase Business Corporations Tax' collections by
$300,000.. Business Corporations Tax collections are projected to be 2.0 percent lower than the revised FY 2008 estimate. The FY 2009 Business Corporations Tax estimate includes a Budget Office *estimate of $2.5 million :in revenues lost to the use of Historic Structures Tax Credits by corporate income tax filers. Business Corporations taxes are expected to constitute 4.8 percent of total general revenues in FY 2009.
Bank Deposits Taxes are estimated at the levels adopted at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference. Health Care Provider Assessments are estimated to be $275,000 lower than the levels adopted at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference as a result of the Governor's proposal to reduce reimbursements to the nursing home labor cost center principles payments to nursing homes by $5.0 million which will result in a corresponding decrease in the Nursing Home Tax of 5.5 percent of gross revenues. Insurance Premiums Taxes are estimated to be $75.1 million in FY 2009 and are forecasted to be 1.3 percent higher than in the revised FY 2008 budget. They will comprise 2.2 percent of total general revenues in FY 2009. Recommended Insurance Premiums Taxes are higher than the November 2007 REC estimate. by $2.1 million as a result of the previously referenced Historic Structures Tax Credit buyback program. The Budget Office estimates that the FY 2009 Insurance Premiums Taxes will be reduced by $5.2 million as a result of the use of Historic Structures Tax Credits. This estimated revenue loss is included in the November 2007 REC estimate for Insurance Premiums taxes. Financial Institution Taxes are estimated at $19.4 million more than adopted levels for FY 2009. The Governor's proposed Historic Structures Tax Credit buyback program is expected to recover $400,000 in Financial Institution Taxes. Further, the Governor has recommended adjusting the November 2007 REC FY 2009 estimate by $19.0 million to, account for the proposed audit adjustment to FY 2007. The Department testified that a Financial Institutions taxpayer overpaid their taxes by
$19.0 million as testified to at the November 2007 REC by the Department of Taxation. The principals of the conference recorded the liability in FY 2009 based upon the Department's testimony that the taxpayer intended to request a refund in FY 2009, however the Auditor General has proposed to record 19
General Revenues the refund as a liability against the year in which the overpayment was made. Finally, the Public Utilities Gross. Earnings Taxes remain unchanged from the November 2007 REC estimate of $104.0 million which comprises 3.1 percent of general revenues.
Inheritance and Gift Taxes are projected to reach -$30.1 million in FY 2009; no change from the level adopted at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference:. . Realty Transfer Taxes are also estimated at the same level, adopted at the November 2007 Revenue Estimating Conference. Thus, Realty Transfer Taxes are expected to grow. 2.6 percent> from their revised FY 2008 levels, with anticipated collections of $11.7 million. Racing and Athletics Taxes are also estimated at the level adopted at the November 2007 REC. This estimate represents a decline of $200,000,' or -7.1 percent, from the revised .FY 2008 estimate. Total Racing and Athletics Taxes projected in FY 2009 is $2.6 million. The total of Other Taxes_.is 1.3 percent of total general revenues in FY 2009.
FY 2009 departmental receipts are expected to generate $15.8 million more than the revised FY 2008 budget. Including all of the Governor's proposed changes to departmental receipts, total departmental revenues are expected to be $354.6 million in FY 2009, or 10.6 percent of total general revenues. In the licenses and fees category of departmental receipts, $111.3 million is expected as a result of the Governor's proposals. Most of this increase is attributable to the hospital licensing fee. The Governor recommends that the hospital licensing fee be reinstated for one year yielding $78.0 million in FY 2009 in addition to increasing the rate of assessment to 4.94 percent which will yield another $32.7 million.
The FY 2009 recommended departmental revenues figure includes the following proposals:
- $78.0 million from reinstituting the Hospital Licensing Fee; a $32.7 million from increasing the Hospital Licensing Fee rate of assessment to 4.94 percent;
- $1.1 million from requiring court costs equivalent to fine amounts for good driving dismissals;

- a decrease of $2.1 million for converting the demand side energy grant to restricted receipts.
The Other Sources component total of $389.3 million in FY 2009 represents a decrease of 29.4 percent, or $162.1 million, compared to the revised revenue estimate for FY 2008. The change in other sources of revenue affects only the Other Miscellaneous Revenues.
The Governor's recommended FY 2009 budget for Other Miscellaneous Revenues is $170.0 million lower than the revised FY 2008 level, a decrease of 93.8 percent. This decrease is due in large part to the inclusion of tobacco securitization proceeds worth $124.0 million in FY 2008 that do not repeat in FY 2009. Other Miscellaneous Revenues are anticipated to be $11.3 million in FY 2009, amounting to 0,3 percent of all general revenues.
20

Within the Lottery category, the recommended FY 2009 budget is $14.4 million greater than the revised FY 2008 b'udget, an increase of 4.1 percent. The.Governor recommends no changes from the November 2007 REC estimate for Lottery. In FY 2009, the Lottery Transfer is expected to be $363.9 million and comprise 10.9 percent. of total general revenues.
The final category of general revenue receipts is the. Unclaimed Property transfer. In FY 2009, this transfer is expected to decrease by $6.6 million, or 41.3. percent, from the revised FY 2008 estimate.
The source of this decrease is primarily due to the nonrecurring demutualization of FY 2008. The Unclaimed Property transfer is projected to be $9.4 million in FY 2009, and comprise 0.3 percent of all general revenues.
21

General Government Department of Administration The Governor recommends revised appropriations of $627.9 million in FY 2008 for the Department of Administration, excluding internal service funds. This includes $505.2 million in general revenues, $46.6 million in federal funds, $9.2, million in restricted receipts, and $66.9 million in other funds.
The revised FY 2008 budget is $14.3 million greater than the enacted budget. This includes an increase in general revenue appropriations of $19.8 million, an increase in federal funds of $1.0 million, a decrease in restricted receipts of $2.9 million, and a decrease in other funds of $3.3 million. Funding for internal service funds within the Department of Administration decreases from $331.9 million to, $322.7 million, or $9.2 million, primarily due to lower projected claims in the Health Insurance Fund in FY 2008.
The FY 2008 revised budget for the Department of Administration includes the following statewide reductions totaling $3.1 million: savings fromrn lower than a.-ticipated employee health benefit claims experience, $910,461; savings from six uncompe.isated p'ersonal leave.days, $1.4,million; and statewide operating, contracts and grants reductions of 2.'!, percent. from revised levels, $805,915.
Of the $19.6 million increase in general revenue appropriations, $1.6 million is attributable to core departmental programs, while the:balanice :is for- statewide personnel, state aid, debt service, and other non-department specific prografi's. The major :general'revenuechanges within core departmental programs include:
- Additional personnel funding of $88,419 in the Central Management program to fund the restoration of the Executive Director position and the transfer of a financial position from the Information Technology, offset by the transfer of an administrative position to the Governor's Office.
" Additional personnel funding of $480,182 in the Legal Services program to fund staff, including a share of positions transferred from the Department of Transportation, and $164,054 for outside legal services to assist in labor negotiations.
- Additional personnel funding of $334,322 in the Accounts and Control program to fund 8.0 new FTE positions resulting from the centralization of accounts payable functions among Executive Branch agencies.

" Additional funding of $77,000 in the Budget Office program to fund actuarial studies, specifically relating to retiree health benefits.
" Additional funding of $76,079 in the Human Resources program to fund analysis and audit of the state's medical benefits programs.
- Additional funding of $15,600 for legal services in the Personnel Appeal Board.
- Additional funding of $3.0 million in the Facilities Management program to fund utility expenses due to, increased energy costs. This increase is offset by a reduction of $2.5 million in various operating and capital expenses based on revised requirements.
- Savings of $773,700 in the Information Technology program due to a delay in the implementation of new modules for the Rhode Island Financial Accounting Network System (RI-FANS).
26
General Government
- Net additional general revenue personnel funding of $1.6 million in the Information Technology program due primarily to two factors. First, the adjustment, in the allocation of costs among funding sources for the centralized IT function based on the latest projected billings for FY 2008 results in an increase to general revenue costs and a reduction in other sources of funds. Second, the FY .2008 revised budget includes the addition of 39.4 FTE positions in the Information Technology program to allow for the replacement of more expensive contract employees with full-time state employees to perform various I., functions, such as programming, database management, help desk assistance, etc. These positions are funded for part of the fiscal year within the FY 2008 budget, the additional cost of which will be offset by reduced funding for contractors.
" Additional funding of $250,000 in the Security Services program for estimated overtimeresulting from staff shortages in iouitro6ms. i addition, funding of $67,000 is added in this program for contractual stipends for Sheriffs and Capitol Police.
The FY 2008 enacted budget for the Department of Administration included a negative appropriation of
$9.1 million in general revenues for state employee turnover. This negative appropriation was to be allocated to each agency by the State Budget Office after enactment of the 2008 budget. This allocation is reflected in the revised FY 2008 budget recommendations and results in a net increase to the Department of Administration's budget of $9..1 million. The department's share of the turnover savings was $0.5 million, which is allocated to various programs in the revised FY 2008 budget. Negative appropriations were also included for federal funds, $2.6 million; restricted receipts, $418,650; and other funds, $2.7 million.
The most significant change in general revenue appropriations in the revised FY 2008 budget is a result of audit adjustments that negatively impacted the FY 200.7 closing. In January 2008, the Auditor General presented, the State Controller, with two large audit adjustments totaling $24.1 million, which when combined with Other smaller adjustments, would result in a FY 2007 closing deficit of $15.4 million. In order to maintain a balanced budget as-required by the State Constitution, :a transfer from the budget reserve fund is required. In order to return the ending General Fund balance for FY 2007 back to zero and provide for $3.6 million of statutory reappropriations for the Judiciary and the General Assembly, the required transfer is..$19.4 million. This transfer must be repaid in FY 2008 and therefore, the revised budget contains $19.4 million in appropriations to replenish the Rhode Island Capital Plan Fund, which would not receive its full transfer. because the budget reserve fund will not be at its three percent maximum level by the close of FY 2008.
Local aid funding decreases in the revised FY 2008 budget by $10.2 million. This includes a decrease of
$10.0 million in General Revenue Sharing and a reduction of.$ 183,500 for the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Phase-out program. The Governor recommends a change to the latter's statutory formula to require that only ninety-eight percent (98.0%) of the exemption value be paid to communities, based on the fact that communities do not normally have one-hundred percent collection rates. Without this statutory change, funding for FY 2008, based on the latest tax roll data provided by cities and towns, would have needed to increase by $2.5 million over the enacted level.
Debt service adjustments account for $5.0 million in additional general revenue appropriations, increasing from $126.2 million to $131.2 million. The increase is the result of several factors. The largest component of the increase is the restoration of a $3.0 million negative appropriation included in the enacted budget for debt service savings. The assumption behind this savings amount was that a smaller debt issuance 27
General Government resulting from the newly enacted requirement -that bond premiums be used to reduce the amount of general obligation bonds issued would result in lower debt service costs. Although this is true, the actual savings will occur over the entire twenty-year payback of the recently issued debt and not in the first year.
As a result, the majority of these savings will not be achieved in'FY 2008 and thus, funding' is increased to offset this negative appropriation.. The issuance of tax anticipation notes- (TANS) requires the addition of $1.9 million in general revenue appropriations and $4.8 million in all funds. The non-general revenue share of this cost, is funded from bond premium received at the time of issuance and interest earnings on the borrowed funds until. used by the state for cash flow requirements.
The Governor recommends a delay of $4.1 million from FY 2008 to FY 2009 in the funding for the Dunkin Donuts Center Renovations project based on the, latest cash flow requirements provided by the Convention Center Authority. These funds are primarily earmarked for the seat replacement phase of the project, which will not commence until after the end of FY 2008, thereby allowing for the reduction in funding this fiscal year.
The FY 2008 revised budget includes a reduction to the teachers.' retiree-health-insuranceesubsidy of $1.4 million. This reduction.is the result of a higher balance in the insurance fund and' claims' lower than anticipated. There is no change to coverage as a result of this reduced funding.
Net of the $2.6 million increase attributable to the statewide personnel turnover-described above, federal funds decrease by $1.6 million from the FY 2008 enacted level. The majority of this decrease is due-to the reallocation of costs for the centralized IT functions among;various funding sources. As described above, the general revenue share of these costs have increased, while other sources, including federal, are projected to be charged a smaller share of costs as compared to the enacted budget.
Net of the $418,650 increase attributable'to %thestatewide personnel turnover described- ibove, restricted receipts decrease by $3.4 million- due to several factors. First, bond premium and 'estimated interest earnings on TANS of $2.9 million, as described above,. arebudgeted to pay debt service on the TANS.
Second, funding of $1.2 million -budgeted for-debt service on-the COPS issuance-for thenew Registry of Motor Vehicles computer system are not required in FY -2008 due to a delay in the issuance of this debt.
Fees on all Registry- transactions are being received into a restricted receipt account to cover the cost of the debt service on this issuance, but no funds will be expended in FY 2008. Third, increased funding of approximately $1.0 million in the Office of Energy Resources is attributable to the establishment of two new restricted accounts in the revised FY 2008 budget for administrative support of the office and to an increase in the use of oil overcharge interest earnings for various energy projects. Finally, a reduction of
$6.35 million in the State Fleet Replacement Restricted Receipt account occurs due to the Governor's proposal to establish this new revolving loan fund as an Internal Service Fund into Which these funds are transferred in the revised budget.
Net of the $2.7 million increase attributable to the statewide personnel turnover described above, other funds decrease by $6.0 million. Of this decrease, almost $1.9 million is in Transportation debt service due to savings from refunded bonds in recent years. In addition, there is a net reduction of $4.6 million in funding for capital projects funded from the Rhode Island Capital Plan Fund. The largest decrease is the withdrawal of $7.5 million for the Neighborhood Opportunities Program, due -to delayed cash requirements for the program. In August 2007, the State provided the $7.5 million authorized for FY 2007 projects. The recommendation is to transition program expenditures to Rhode Island Housing, where similar programs have been funded. Commitments made for projects that require cash in FY 2008 or thereafter will be reviewed in the context of the RI Capital Plan Fund balances and RI Housing's cash 28
General Government position. This reduction in RICAP funding is offset by increases in various other capital projects primarily due to carry over funding from FY 2007 and the transfer of $1.2 million from the Department of Human Services for, Forand Building Exterior Shell repairs, which will be managed by the Capital Projects division within, the Department of Administration. New RICAP funding totaling $400,000 is provided for architectural and engineering work on a~proposed renovation to the Forand Building for use as the new Registry of Motor Vehicles headquarters. Finally, there is an increase in other funds of approximately $850,000 in the Information Technology program due to reallocation of costs for the centralized IT functions among various funding sources.
The Governor recommends a total of 1,032.8 FTE positions in the revised FY 2008 budget, a decrease of 0.1 FTE positions from the enacted level of 1,032.9 FTE positions. This minor change is actually comprised of a number of offsetting incieases and decreases in FTE positions. As part of the statewide personnel turnover savings allocated to each agency, the Department of Administration eliminated 45.5 vacant FTE positions from various programs. The Department transferred 2.0 FTE positions to the Department of Labor and Training, 3.0 FTE'positions to the Department of Children, Youth and Families and 3.0 FTE positions to the. Department of Environmental Management. Conversely; the Department received 3.0 FTE positions from the Department of Transportation, and 4.0 FTE positions from the Department of Human Services. A net of 7.0 FTE positions are added for the Accounts Payable centralization within ihe Accounts and Control program, as described above. This includes 8.0 new FTE positions and the elimination of 1.0 vacant FTE position in the Facilities Management program that previously had accounts payable responsibilities. Finally, as described, above, there is an increase of 39.4 FTE positions in the Information Technology program to allow for the hiring of full-time state employees to replace IT contractors.
The Governor recommends total expenditures for FY 2009 of $542.7 million for the Department of Administration, excluding internal service funds. This includes $446.4 million in general revenues, $33.9 million in federal funds, $21.4 million in restricted receipts, and $40.9 million in other funds. Overall, this represents a decrease of $70.6 from the enacted FY 2008 budget. General revenue funds decrease by
$39.0 million, federal funds decrease by $11.6 million, restricted receipts increase by $9.3 million and other funds..decrease by $29.3 million. Funding for internal service funds increases by $5.2 million from the enacted FY 2008 level, primarily attributable to increases in the utilities fund due to increased energy costs.
The FY 2009 budget for the Department of Administration includes statewide reductions totaling $50.2 million in general revenues and $90.1 million in all funds. These savings, targeted for personnel in the form of compensation, medical plan design and co-share changes, and extraordinary retirements, are shown within the Department of Administration to be reallocated to all agencies at a later date. The recommendation includes $60.6 million, of which $33.4 million is general revenues, for personnel savings that are currently being discussed with union leadership. For display purposes, $33.6 million is reflected in medical benefit savings and $27.0 million in salary and benefit savings. Additionally, the Governor's recommendation assumes $30.5 million in savings from all sources, $16.8 million from general revenues, from permanent position eliminations as a result of retirements for FY 2009. There are currently over 3,100 employees eligible to retire, whether by age or years of service. The Governor's recommendation assumes that 300 non-critical positions will be eliminated from retirements in FY 2009.
Of the $39.0 million decrease in general revenue appropriations, $5.0 million is attributable to core departmental programs, while the balance is for statewide personnel reductions, described above, state aid, debt service and other non-department specific programs. The major general revenue changes within 29
General Government core departmental programs, as compared to the enacted FY 2008:budget include:
" Transfer of 2.0 FTE positions from 'the Central Management program to the new Department of Public Safety, resulting in a decrease in general revenue'personnel funding of $93,096. These positions supported the.Fire Marshal and-Rhode Island Justice Commission agencies and a portion of their costs were'allocated to federal resources.
- Additional personnel funding of $570;338 in the Legal Services program to fully fund their current staff, including positions transferred from the Department of Transportation in FY 2008, and a current vacancy
- Additional personnel funding of $563,667 in the Accounts and Control program to fund the full year costs of 8.0 new FTE positions resulting. from theý centralization of accounts payable functions among Executive Branch agencies. Thirteen (13.0) FTE positions performing these functions in various agencies have been'eliminated as aresult of this centralization.
- Additional funding of $78,000 in the Budget Office program to fund actuarial studies, specifically relating to retiree health benefits.
" Additional funding of $87,000 in the Human Resources program to fund analysis.and audit of the state's medical benefits programs.
" Additional funding of $15,000 for legal services in the Personnel Appeal Board.
" Additional funding of $4.0 million in the Facilities Management program to fund utility expenses due to increased energy costs. This increase is offset by a reduction of $2.7 million in various operating and capital expenses based on revised requirements. The increase in utility expenses is also offset by guaranteed savings of $432,906 from the energy conservation improvements made to various capitol area buildings as'a result of the energy services contract funded through a debt issuance this past year. These savings will be used to'pay. the debt service. costs.
" Savings of $366,416 in the Information Technology program due to a delay in the implementation of new modules for the Rhode Island Financial Accounting Network System (RI-FANS).
- Net additional general revenue personnel funding of $3.1 million in the Information Technology program due primarily to two factors. First, the same adjustment in the .allocation of costs among funding sources for the centralized IT function that occurred in FY 2008 carries over into FY 2009 and results in an increase to general revenue costs and a reduction in other sources of funds.
Second, as described above, the FY 2008 revised budget included the addition of 39.4 FTE positions in the Information Technology program to allow for the replacement of more expensive contract employees with full-time state employees to perform various IT functions. These positions were funded for part of the fiscal year within the FY 2008 budget and are funded for the entire year in FY 2009 with some turnover assumed for staggered hiring. The additional cost of these positions will be offset by reduced funding for contractors that had been budgeted in various agency budgets.
- Additional funding of $700,000 in the Information Technology program to fund software maintenance agreements.
- Decreased funding of $2.2 million in the Office of Energy Resources due to the shift of certain funding from general revenues to restricted receipts. This includes both staff costs, as well as 30
General Government grant funding received from utility distribution companies for energy: efficiency projects:
The Governor recommends a net decrease for state aid programs of $6.6 million. General Revenue sharing is recommended to decrease by $10.0 million compared to the FY 2008 enacted budget, the same reduction as proposed in the revised FY 2008 budget. The Distressed Communities Relief Fund is level funded at the FY 2008 enacted level of $10.4 million. The Payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) program is also level funded at the FY 2008 funding level of $27.8 million. State Library Aid is also level funded at the FY 2008 enacted level of $8.8 million. The Library Construction Aid program is fully funded based on outstanding agreements at $2.8 million, a reduction of $47,412 from the enacted FY 2008 budget. The Governor recommends continuing the proposal to ;reimburse communities, for ninety-eight percent (98.0%) of the exemption value under the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Phase-Out program at the $6,000 exemption level. Funding of $139.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, is recommended from general revenues. Distributions to communities under each of these state aid programs will be based on the latest property values, tax data and other indicators, as required by the statutes governing the respective aid programs.
The Governor recommends eliminating the Municipal Police and Firemen Incentive Pay programs for savings of $675,000 in FY 2009.
The Governor recommends an increase of $172,000 for the Property Valuation program, which reimburses communities for statistical updates and/or. revaluations of real property required to be conducted by state law.
The Governor recommends level funding for most economic development initiatives included in the FY 2008 budget. This includes $3.0 million for the Slater Technology Fund, $100,000 for the Science and Technology Council, $100,000 for the Business Innovation Factory, and $1.5 million for the Research Alliance. Funding for the Economic Development Corporation is also level funded at the FY 2008 enacted level of $6.2 million, but funding for various legislative grants funded through the EDC is recommended to decrease by $0.7 million or-half the FY 2008 enacted funding. In addition, the Governor recommends that the Economic Development Corporation assume responsibility for the staff support to the Economic Policy Council and as such eliminates the stand alone funding for the Council of $300,000.
The FY 2009 budget includes funding of $4.1 million delayed from FY 2008 to complete renovations to the Dunkin Donuts Center. This is a reduction of $8.4 million from the enacted FY 2008 funding level. In addition, the Governor recommends restoration of funding for the Governor's Contingency Fund to $1.0 million.
In the Debt Service category, general revenue funding increases by $13.7 million over the FY 2008 enacted level and by $22.2 million in all funds. Debt service for general obligation bonds increases by a net of $6.2 million in general revenues and $12.3 million in all funds. This net increase includes $3.0 million to restore savings built into the FY 2008 enacted budget,. as described above; a $2.0 million increase for economic development-related G.O. debt (Quonset Point and Third Rail); a $1.3 million increase for the recently approved Affordable Housing bond; a $6.1 million increase for transportation-related debt funded by the gas tax;. and various reductions to outstanding debt as bonds are paid off annually.
Funding for various Certificates of Participation projects increases by $7.0 million in general revenue funds and $6.6 million in all funds. Previously approved projects for which debt service will be newly required in FY 2009 include the School for the Deaf, $2.6 million and the Energy Conservation project, from which utility savings will offset the $432,906 debt service payment. A new project proposed by the Governor in the Capital Budget involves the renovation of the Forand Building at the Pastore Government 31
General Government Center for use by the Registry of Motor Vehicles as its new main headquarters. The goal of this project is to provide a more centrally located, customer-friendly facility and at the same time save operating costs from the rental of outside property. The Governor proposes a $23:9 million Certificates of Participation issuance, which will require an estimated first year debt 'service payment of $658,000. Finally, the FY 2008 budget included projected savings of almost $3.0 million from a planned refunding of outstanding COPS issues. This refunding occurred in FY 2008 and resulted in first year savings to several projects, but will have less of an impact in FY 2009, thereby requiring the restoration of the majority of this savings amount.
Funding for debt service on previous Public Buildings Authority projects, now managed by the Refunding Bond Authority, decreases by $802,306 in general revenues and $852,317 in allfunds. Since the former PBA is~no longer in existence and therefore no:new. projects will be funded under this entity, debt service will decrease annually as these projects are paid.off..,
The FY 2009 budget also includes funding for an anticipated issuance of Tax Anticipation Notes, as was required in FY 2008. The same level of funding, both general revenue and restricted receipts, as requested in FY 2008, $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively,. is requested for FY i2009. Actual requirements will depend on the amount issued and interest rates on the debt at that time, and thus: these figures will likely be refined in the FY 2009 supplemental budget.
The FY 2009 budget includes a reduction to the teachers' retiree health insurance subsidy of $962,522 from the FY 2008 enacted funding level of $1.4 million. This reduction is the result of projected balances in the insurance fund and anticipated claims based on current .year .experience. There is no change to coverage as a result of this reduced funding.
The Governor also proposes to reduce by half the majority of legislative grants that are funded through the Department of Administration for general revenue savings of $260,456. The exception is the grant for the RI Service Alliance, which will remain at the FY 2008 enacted funding level of $140,000. These funds are used to match federal dollars and support the AmeriCorps program.
Net of the $15.0 million decrease attributable to the new statewide personnel savings described above, which is offset by a $2.6 million increase relating to FY 2008 statewide personnel savings, federal funds increase by $1.0 million in FY 2009 from the FY 2008 enacted budget. The largest single program change in federal funds is an increase of approximately $3.0 million in the Statewide Planning program, primarily the result of new Community Development Block Grant funds. Funding within the three centralizations fluctuate based on the projected allocation of costs among the various funding sources, including a decrease of $193,889 in Human Resources, and increase of $1:3 million in Facilities Management and a decrease of $722,676 in Information Technology. Federal funding within the Office of Energy Resource decreases by $1.6 million, primarily in the LIHEAP heating assistance program. Finally, federal funding for debt service costs on-the Center General Building decreases by $442,606based on a revised allocation of costs due to the plan to move a new state agency into this facility.
Net of the $3.1 million decrease attributable to the new statewide personnel savings described above, which is offset by a $418,650 increase relating to FY 2008 statewide personnel savings, restricted receipts increase by $12.4 million in FY 2009 from the FY 2008 enacted budget. The largest single program change in restricted receipts is in the Office of Energy Resources where the Governor is recommending the establishment of several new restricted receipt accounts. The largest of these is $10.0 million for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which will receive funds from the sale of carbon dioxide emission allowances. Also in this office, there is funding of $1.9 million budgeted for the first time for the 32
General Government Affordable Energy Fund and $2.1 million for Demand Side Management Grants received from utility distribution companies. In other programs, restricted receipt funds increase by $2.9 million for the interest earnings and bond premium projected to be received from the issuance of Tax Anticipation Notes; decrease by $6.3 million in Facilities Management, primarily due to the shift 'of the State Fleet Replacement account to an internal service fund; and increase by. $638,208 in Information Technology due to the updated allocation of costs among various funding sources.
Net of the $22.8 million decrease attributable to the new statewide personnel savings, described above, which is offset.by a $2.7 million increase relating toFY 2008 statewide personnel savings, other funds, excluding RICAP funds, increase by $6.8 million in FY 2009 from the FY 2008 enacted budget. This increase is primarily attributable to two items. First, an increase of $1.0 million in Information Technology due to the updated allocation of costs. among various funding sources for services provided- to agencies. Second, there is an increase of $5.9 million in debt service, mostly for Transportation G.O.
Debt.
In the Rhode Island Capital Plan Fund, funding decreases by $15.8 million from the FY 2008 enacted budget. The largest single change is the elimination of $8.8 million in funding for the DOlT Data Center.
This funding was initially enacted for the purpose of purchasing and outfitting an existing facility, but after an RFP process, no suitable facility could be identified. The Governor now recommends that this funding be used to renovate the soon~tobe vacated DCYF Training School AdministrationBuilding at the Pastore Government Center for use as the new DOIT Data Center. This is a one-time project and thus this funding will not be required. again in FY 2009. In addition, funding of $7.5 million for the Neighborhood Opportunities Program is not provided in the FY 2009 budget..
The Governor recommends a total of 775.8 FTE positions in the FY 2009 budget, a decrease of 257.0 FTE positions from the revised FY 2008 budget. The majority of this decrease is the 241.0 FTE positions from Security Services (Sheriffs and Capitol Police) that are transferred to the newv Department of Public Safety. Two positions from the Central Business Office are also transferred to Department of Public Safety. Two positions are transferred in from the Governor's Office, one to the Central Business Office and one to the Information Technology program. The Department of Administration also has program reductions proposed for FY 2009 that would result in the elimination of 16.0-FTE positions. First, the Human Resources program will have a reduction of 13.0 FTE positions primarily due to further consolidations within the human service centers as a result of the new Office of Health and Human Services structure. Finally, 2.0 FTE position will be eliminated within the Statewide Planning program and 1.0 FTE will also be eliminated in the Facilities Management program.
Departmentof Business Regulation The Governor recommends a revised FY 2008 budget of $12.8 million, including $10.9 million in general revenue, $201,742 in federal funds, and $1.7 million in restricted receipts. General revenues decrease
$579,487 from the enacted level, reflecting current services adjustments, and the following statewide adjustments: savings from lower than anticipated employee health benefits claims experience, $115,756; savings from six uncompensated personal leave days for all state employees, $200,015; and, statewide operating, contracts, and grants reductions of 2.7 percent from revised levels, $17,945. The Governor recommends 102.0 FTE positions in FY 2008, a reduction of four vacant positions and $333,666 in personnel savings from the Department including the Board of Design Professionals. Federal funds increase $150,000 for a grant to the Office of Health Insurance Commissioner to study quality of high risk pool insurance. Restricted receipts increase a net $60,000, including insurance regulation increases of 33

General Government
$113,000 primarily for costs of rate assessment and commercial licensing decreases of $53,000 for licensing activities.
For FY 2009, the Governor recommends $11.7 million, including $10.2 million in general revenue and
$1.5 million in. restricted receipts. General revenues decrease $1.3 million from the FY 2008 enacted level. The Governor recommends a total of 98.0 FTE positions in FY 2009, a program reduction of 'an additional 4.0 FTE positions from FY 2008 revised ( a total of 8.0 FTE positions from the enacted level) and a savings from the enacted level of $620,780. Reduced trend growth in medical benefits saves
$68,449, .and funding for retiree health benefits, in.FY 12009, on an actuarial basis recognizing reduced benefits for new retirees .saves $98,509. Relocation.of the department from leased space to state owned property is a savings of $709,690 in general revenue. . Personnel current services and adjustments including assessed fringe benefits and contract and- operating savings are. a net increase of $212,506. The Governor recommends transfer of burglar alarm regulation ,tc the Department of Labor and Training, assuming of proprietary school review from the Office of Higher Education, and elimination of hearings for auto body disputes and review upon complaint.
Departmentof Labor and Training The Governor recommends revised FY 2008 expenditures-of $477.0 million for the Department of Labor and Training, including $6.4 million in general revenue, $35.0 million in federal funds, $25.1 million in restricted receipts, and $410.5 million in other funds.

The recent fund balance trends for both the Employment Security Trust Fund and the Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) Trust Fund are shown in the graphs below. It should. be noted that Rhode Island's Employment Security Fund is in stable condition relative to other states *At the end of 2007, the Employment Security Trust Fund and TDI Trust Fund had balances of approximately $168 million and
$99 million, respectively.

General Government For FY 2009, the Governor recommends $478.5 million, including $6.3 million in general revenue, $35.4 million in federal funds, $19.1 million in restricted receipts, and $41.7.7 million in other funds. This is an increase of $19.0 million over the FY 2008 enacted budget, and includes $283,170 less general revenue,
$7.2 million more federal funds, $9.2 million less in restricted receipts, and $21.4 million more other funds. The Governor recommends an FTE authorization of 407.2 FTE positions for the Department of Labor and Training, or i0.3 FTE less than revised FY 2008, including a 21.0 FTE program reduction, 6.3 adjustment reductions, and 17.0 additional FTE positions to staff a work first program for human services clients funded from $1.7 million of'federal grants from the Department of Human Services. A majority of the federal fund increase is related to increased, grant awards for Workforce Development and Training Programs ($6.9 million). The decreased restricted receipt expenditures are from the Human Resource Investment Council program ($9.2 million). The incr'ese in other funds is for the Income Support Program for unemployment benefits ($25.2 million).
DepartmeMt of Revenue In the 2006 Session, the General Assembly created the new Department of Revenue, comprised -primarily of programs transferred from the Department of Administration. These programs include the Office of Property Valuation (formerly Municipal Affairs), the Division of Taxation, the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and the Lottery. New programs created with this department include the Director of Revenue and the Office of Revenue Analysis.
The Governor recommends $241.8 million in expenditures for the Department of Revenue in the FY 2008 revised budget, including $35.2 million in general revenues, $2.1 million in federal funds, $203.6 million in other funds, and $892,006 of restricted receipts. This includes a decrease of $3.4 million or 8.8 percent in general revenues, including $2.7.million.in personnel savings from additional turnover savings due to delays in filling several new positions, including the Director of Revenue, elimination of vacant positions and various statewide reductions. The statewide reductions include $539,014 for six uncompensated personal leave days for all state employees, $421,613 in savings from lower than anticipated employee health benefit claims experience, and $169,134 for statewide operating, contracts and grants reduction of 2.7 percent from revised funding levels. Federal funds increase by $793,852 or 59.5 percent due to the carry forward of several grants in the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Restricted receipts increased by
$46,500 or 5.5 percent as a result of indirect cost recovery funds not included in the enacted budget.
Other funds decrease by $14.6 million or 5.7 percent, primarily due to an estimated reduction in the Lottery collections, which translates into lower commission payments and other expenses at the Lottery Division.
The Governor recommends $248.7 million in expenditures from all funds for the Department of Revenue for FY 2009, including $37.4 million in general revenues, $1.9 million in federal funds, $208.5 million in' other funds, and $925,663 of restricted receipts. This represents an all funds decrease of $7.7 million from the enacted FY 2008 budget, This includes decreases in general revenue expenditures of $1.2 million, or 3.1 percent, primarily due to positions being eliminated in FY 2009. Federal funds increase by
$558,950, or 41.9 percent, due to the continuation of several federal grants received by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Restricted receipts increase $80,157, or 9:5 percent, .due again to indirect cost recovery funds not included in the FY 2008 enacted budget. Other funds decrease by $7.1 million, or 3.3 percent.
As with the revised FY 2008 budget, this change is primarily due to estimated changes in Lottery collections, which have a corresponding impact on Lottery expenditures.
36

The reduction of $925,656 in the program's restricted indirect cost recovery' fund reflects transfer of 21L0 filled FTE positions to the Executive Office of Health and Human Services,.due to centralization of legal and fiscal positions in that agency.'
In program Child Support' Enforcement, a decrease of $1.9 million, including $1.1 million general revenue funds from enacted FY 2008 levels primarily reflects personnel reductions in the program, including: abandonment of seven vacant positions effective September, 2007; layoff and elimination of 5.6 filled FTE, positions;. transfer of one *ositibn to DOA central services; and, transfer of 11.6 filled FTE positions to the Executive Office of Healih lanid Human Services, reflecting centralization of legal and fiscal positions in that agency.

In FY 2009, current payment standards are maintained for clients receiving cash payments under the Family Independence Program (FIP).' After reaching a peak caseload of 64,000 persons in 1994, the number of persons receiving cash assistance continues to decline. The November 2007 consensus caseload conference (CEC) estimated that 25,100 persons would receive Family Independence Program cash assistance in FY 2008, a 14.5 percent reduction from FY 2007 experience, declining to 23,000 persons in FY 2009, a reduction of an additional 8.4 percent. Consensus caseload conference estimates 54
Human Services project 8,400 subsidized childcare slots in FY 2008, and 7,900 slots in: FY 2009, a decrease of six percent, as clients achieve exit from the program. Decline in both of these benefits reflects the goal of placing clients into unsubsidized employment, and. the Governor's stated principle that benefits should be extended only to eligible and entitled clients and. only after all federal and- third party participation: has been maximized.
The Governor's FY 2009 Budget includes statutory language to establish Work First, a replacement program for the Family Independence Act..The program will provide employment and support Services along with temporary cash assistance so that parents can participate in the workforce rather than depend on public assistance to support themselves and their children. In FY 2009, revisions to expenditures will occur solely within federal appropriations, due to maintenance of efforts requirements on general revenue funding. The actual reallocations among federal .accounts are not yet recorded in the Technical Appendix document.
Adopted consensus caseload conference 'estimates for cash assistance payments in FY 2009 decreased by
$2.1 million compared to adopted FY 2008 levels. This reflects savings of $3.8 million from the reduction in FIP caseloads offset by additions of $752,000 for child care slots, due to recognition of a provider.rate increase (see revisions below) offset by the reduction in the number of slots, plus increased SSI estimates of $675,818 and increased estimates for General Public Assistance of $268,290.

" Savings of $4.0 million, all general revenue funds, from eliminating a provider rate increase, estimated at eight percent, scheduled for July 1, 2008. This will require statute change The Supplemental Security Income,(SSI) caseload historically has increased on a. continuous basis. The adopted caseload conference estimates are 31,725 recipients in FY 2008, and 32,200 in FY 2009, compared to actual cases of 31,285 in FY 2007. The 1..5 percent annual growth rate results from a continued growth in the disabled component and a slight decline in the state's elderly population.
For FY 2009, the Governor proposes to maintain client eligibility, but to reduce the state's supplement in an amount equivalent to the proposed federal cost-of-living adjustment scheduled for January 1, 2009. The client will receive the same payment as in December, 2008. This is estimated to reduce general revenue costs by $2,7.million.
The General Public Assistance Bridge Program will be maintained in FY 2009, providing limited cash assistance to eligible persons and a medical program of restricted scope. The caseload conference estimate is 415 persons in FY 2008 and 420 persons in FY 2009.

Public Safety Public Safety Summary The quality of life in Rhode Island is enhanced through the administration of a public safety system that provides law enforcement, adjudicates justice, protects life and property, and handles emergencies impacting Rhode Island's citizens. The seven agencies that expend 6.6 percent of the total FY 2009 State Budget from all sources of funds to provide public safety services to the state include: the Department of Corrections; the court system (Attorney General; the Judiciary; and the Office of the Public Defender); the homeland security system (Military Staff, including both the National Guard and the Emergency Management Agency); and public safety agencies (Fire Safety Code Board of Appeal and Review and the Department of Public Safety, comprising the State Police, Sheriffs & Capitol Police, E-91 1, State Fire Marshal; the Rhode Island Justice Commission; and Municipal Police Training Academy). The FTE recommendation for the FY 2008 revised budget is 3,291.7. The FTE recommendation for FY 2009 decreases to 3,215.4.
Reductions due to privatizations and other actions are offset by the transfer of Sheriffs and Capitol Police to the newly-formed Department of Public Safety.
Pursuant to action of the Legislature in Article 3 of the FY 2008 Budget Act, the Governor's recommended FY 2009 budget includes the combination of the Rhode Island State Police, E-911 Emergency, Fire Marshal, Security Services (former program of the Department of Administration), and the Municipal Police Training Academy, in a new Department of Public Safety. The FY 2008 supplemental appropriations act reflects the constituent agencies as independent entities, consistent with enacted appropriations. The FY 2009 appropriations act recognizes the combination of the agencies as programs within the new departments. However, to achieve orderly and coherent comparisons of the history, enacted appropriations, and two recommendation years, these documents display the agencies as a combined entity in FY 2008 as well as FY 2009.
The largest share of funding within the Public Safety function is for the Department of Corrections, representing 40.8 percent of the total. Because the Adult Correctional Institutions, which include eight secure facilities, operate twenty-four hours per day, the department must provide continuous supervision of an annual average inmate population of 3,925. Additionally, the Community Corrections subprogram supervises 32,000 community-based offenders per year.
The second largest share is for the courts system, at 28.5 percent of the total. This includes 21.0 percent of expenditures for the Judiciary, supporting six courts statewide, and 7.5 percent for the other agencies, Attorney General and Office of Public Defender. The next largest share is for the Department of Public Safety, at 24.1 percent. This agency was formed pursuant to Article 3 of the FY 2008 Budget Act, the combining the Rhode Island State Police, E-911 Emergency, State Fire Marshall, Security Services (formerly a program of the Department of Administration), the Rhode Island Justice Commission, and the Municipal Police Training Academy. The Military Staff comprises 6.5 percent of Public Safety expenditures.
The Governor recommends a FY 2008 revised budget of $455.3 million from all funds, an increase of $6.9 million. Revised expenditures of $378.5 million are recommended for general revenue, $8.0 million, or 2.1 percent, less than enacted levels. Restricted receipt expenditures of
$10.4 million are $166,667 less than enacted. This is offset by a $13.9 million increase in federal funds and a $1.1 million increase in other funds, primarily Rhode Island Capital Plan funds.
Categorically, this includes a $14.6 million decrease in personnel costs for salaries and benefits, and contract services. The decrease reflects vacancy reduction initiatives undertaken as part of the Governor's Personnel Reform Initiative. Expenditure for grants and benefits increases by $16.8 million, primarily in the Military Staff for additional homeland security, disaster assistance and 71
Public Safety other federal grants in Emergency Management. Operating expenditures increase by $3.7 million, and capital purchases and equipment expenditures increase by $1.0 million.
In.FY 2009, the Governor recommends an all-funds budget of $451.3 million for public safety programs. Of this amount, $377.5 million is from general revenue; $35.9 million is fromfederal funds, $10.4 million is from restricted receipts, and $27.4 million is from other funds. The FY 2009 general revenue budget increases by $9.0 million from the FY 2008 enacted level. All funds spending increases only by $2.8 million as:compared: to the enacted budget. There is an $18.0 million all-funds decrease in personnel expenditures, a $3.6 million increase in operating expenditures, a $9.6 million increase for grants -and benefits' and 'a $7.7 million increase for capital expenditures. Personnel decreases are due to privatization actions in the Department of Corrections, FTE reductions in Corrections ,and other agencies, and proposed employee contract changes in Corrections to reduceovertime."sipenfiding:- The Department of Corrections' budget includes an earned good time initiativeprogram to educe inmate&'population that will lead to substantial savings in superv isory. ,overfi'ine 'and-p'er. 'capitia operating costs. Operating increases reflect in part move to a new,'.state, plice.;headquiarters and, the move to newly completed courthouses. Grant increases of$9.6.million reflect" new State"Police federal grants, as well as continue Emergency Management.homeland'security grants.
Funding for the Public Safety function is derived mainly from state sources. 83.6 percent is general revenue and 6.1 percent is other funds (primarily Rhode Island Capital Plan funds for construction; repair andrehabilitation projects for Corrections, Military Staff, Judiciary, aind State Police facilities)._ Federal funds comprise 8.0 percent of the total (Emergency 'Management homeland security expenditures and National Guard Bureau funding; adult education, discharge and reentry services, incarceration of undocumented aliens at Corrections; Child Support Enforcement in the Judiciary program).

Excluding the Coastal Resources Management Council and the Water Resources Board, the Governor's recommendation for federal funds totals $33.4 million in FY 2009, $5.3 million more than enacted. A decrease of $19,584 in the Office of the Director is primarily attributable to the exhaustion of funding for the Pay-As-You-Throw program.: In the Bureau of Natural Resources, the Governor's recommendation is $4.4 million more than enacted. Major changes include increases of $2.3 million in the. Division of Forestry, primarily related to the Forest Legacy program, $1.3 million in the Division of Fish and Wildlife, $1.3 million more in the Office of the Associate Director for the Coastal Zone Management grant, and $539,471 less in the Division of Agriculture for the Specialty Crops. Block grant and the Pesticide Enforcement grant. Federal funds in the Bureau of Environmental Protection increase $879,555, which includes an increase of $1.0 million in the Office of Water Resources.
89
Natural Resources For restricted receipts, the Governor recommends expenditures totaling $16.4 million, a decrease of $533,566 compared to the enacted level. This includes reductions of $423,179 in the Bureau of Environmental Protection primarily as a result of the unachieved $1 per ton surcharge noted above, and $287,649 in the Bureau of Natural Resources, of which $112,425 is due to the Shellfish and Marine License receipt account. These reductions are offset by an indrease of
$177,262 in the Office of the Director due to an increase in the. Indirect Cost Recovery account.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $3.6 million from other, funds, which is an increase of
$1.9 million from the enacted budget. Changes to the enactedbudget include reductions of $300,000 for dam repairs and $700,000 less for upgrades at the Newport Pier offset by,an increase of $600,000 for repairs at the Port of Galilee.
For FY 2009, the Governor also recommends. merging the Coastal Resources Management Council and the Water Resources Board into the Departmentr of Environmental Management in order to reduce overhead costs and duplication of effort. The Coastal Resources Management Council will be merged into the Department as a separate program, resulting in a net addition to the Department of. $4.5 million. from all sources of funds. The FY 2008 enacted budget for the Coastal Resources Management Council totaled $4.5 million, including $1.9 million from general revenues, $1.6 million from federal funds, and $1.0 million from restricted receipts. This agency will be merged into -the Department, saving $701,856 from general revenues compared to the enacted budget. The savings will be realized by eliminating 9.0 FTE positions and replacing contract legal services with a state employee, thereby reducing the number of FTEs required to perform the functions of the Council from 30.0 positions to 22.0 positions. Federal funds decrease by $248,715 compared to the enacted budget,. restricted receipts decrease by $772,100 due to the elimination of financing for the South Coast and Brushneck Cove restoration projects, and other funds increase by $1.5 million for the final payment of the Providence River Dredging project.
The Water Resources Board will be merged into the Office of Water Resources, resulting in a net addition to the Department of $1.5 million from all sources of funds. The FY 2008 enacted budget for the Water Resources Board totaled $2.4 million, including $1.9 million from general revenues, $400,000 from restricted receipts, and $92,000 from other funds. This agency will be merged into the Department, saving $492,636 from general revenues compared to the enacted budget. The, savings will be realized by eliminating 5.0 FTE positions and adding an accountant position and a chairperson position, thereby reducing the number of FTEs required to perform the functions of the Board from 9.0 positions to 6.0 positions, An additional general revenue savings of $22,443 occurs as a result of a statewide reduction in legislative grants. Restricted receipts decrease by $400,000 due to the elimination of financing for the Supplemental Water Supplies projects, and other funds increase by $8,000 for the Big River Management Area. The Water Resources Board Corporate will remain intact as a quasi-public agency.
The Governor recommends 482.0 positions in FY 2008, 3.0 more than enacted, due to the transfer of 3.0 Information Technology positions from the Department of Administration to the Department. The Governor recommends 501.0 positions for FY 2009, 19.0 more than enacted due to a withdrawal of 9.0 FTEs resulting from program reductions offset by the addition of 22.0 FTEs from the consolidation of the Coastal Resources Management Council and 6.0 FTEs from the consolidation of the Water Resources Board.
90
Natural Resources CoastalResources Management Council The Governor's revised FY 2008 budget for the Coastal Resources Management Council is $5.7 million. This includes $1.9 million of general revenue, $1.7 million of federal funds, and
$395,000 in restricted receipts. General revenue personnel and operating expenditures increase by $61,086, reflecting both current service items and the following statewide adjustments:
savings from lower than anticipated employee health benefit claims experience $20,728; savings from six uncompensated personal leave days for all state employees, $35,951; and statewide operating, contracts and grants. reductions of 2.7 percent from revised levels, $4,024. The FTE position ceiling for the council is,-unchanged at 30.0 for FY 2008. In addition to salary~and benefit adjustments to reflect current services, the Governor recommends the following:
- Final payment of $36,310 on a. 27-foot; marine.survey vessel toprovide for more frequent and more detailed inspection of marine resources.
0 $395,000 in restricted receipt expenditures for "the Coastal and Estuary Habitat Restoration Program and Trust fund from the Oil Spill Prevention, Administration and Response. Fund, consisting of unspent FY 2007 balances plus' the annual $250,000 appropriation, to be spent on specific projects to rehabilitate coa'stal habitats.
e $1.59 million in Rhode Island Capital Plan funds for the state cost-share responsibilities for the Providence River Dredging project, as determined in a final closing and reconciliation process with the Army Corps of Engineers. The additional funding requirement arises due to federal formulas for calculating cost-share based on construction costs. An additional $1.655 million is recommended for FY 2009.
In the FY 2009 budget, the Governor recommends the merger of the Agency with the Department of Environmental Management.
State 'Water Resources Board The Governor's revised FY 2008 budget for the Water Resources Board is $2.1 million, including
$1.6 million in general revenue, $400,000 in restricted 'receipts and $101,835 in other funds.
General revenue personnel and operating expenditures decrease by $264 111 from the FY 2008 enacted budget, reflecting adjustments for 3.0 vacant positions, increased funding for road maintenance and plowing within the Big River Management area, and increased operating and maintenance costs for stream gauges, and the following statewide adjustments: savings from lower than anticipated employee health benefit claims experience -$7,673-; savings from six uncompensated personal leave days for all state employees, $15,496; and statewide operating, contracts and grants reductions of 2.7 percent from revised levels, $24,984. Restricted receipts are recommended at the enacted level of $400,000, to accommodate adjunct financing made available by the Department of Health for the Supplemental Water Supplies project. Other funds increase by $9,835 or 10.9 percent over the enacted level, for improvements to the Big River Management area projects financed from the Rhode Island Capital Plan Fund. The Governor recommends 6.0 FTE positions in FY 2008, 3.0 less than the enacted level.
In the FY 2009 budget, the Governor recommends the merger of the Agency with the Department of Environmental Management.

Transportation Transportation Summary The transportation function of the state provides for the maintenance and construction of a quality infrastructure which reflects the transportation needs of the citizens of Rhode Island. The function is implemented by the Department of Transportation (DOT) through its core programs, transportation development and maintenance. Transportation development includes construction and design, traffic management, environmental and intermodal planning, capital programming, bridge rehabilitation replacement, and highway safety. The DOT maintenance section engages in the routine maintenance of state highways, bridges, and associated roadsides and highway appurtenances.
In FY 1994, the state established the Intermodal Surface Transportation Fund (ISTF), to provide financing for transportation expenditures from dedicated user-related revenue sources. This dedicated highway fund establishes a direct relationship between transportation project financing and the end-users of the projects, with a stable revenue stream capable of financing the projects on a pay-as-you-go basis.
For FY 2008, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Fund (ISTF) is supported by 29.0 of the state's 30.0-cent per gallon gasoline tax. Gasoline tax receipts finance operating and debt service expenditures of the Department of Transportation, as well as specific portions of transportation-related expenditures of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) and the Department of Elderly Affairs and Advocacy (DEAA).
The revenue generated by the state's gasoline tax is allocated to these recipients on an individual cent basis.
State law governs the distribution of the cents to the agencies as well as the general fund. The anticipated current and upcoming fiscal year revenue collection for the gasoline tax is established at each Revenue Estimating Conference. The Conference estimates gasoline tax collections on a cent per gallon revenue yield. This yield is the basis for the development of budgets for the various gasoline tax supported operations.
Since the inception of this funding mechanism for transportation activities, there have been numerous revisions to the allocation plan. Each change has been initiated in order to direct more revenues to transportation operations rather than to the general fund. The last change to the disbursement schedule was in the enacted FY 2006 Budget which increased the RIPTA allocation by one cent, with an offsetting reduction in the allocation of gasoline tax directed to the general -fund.

Transportation The Department of, Transportation provides services through four programs: Central Management, Management and Budget, Infrastructure Engineering, and Infrastructure Maintenance. Primaiy funding for Rhode Island transportation and highway construction spending is provided through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the authority of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). This Act, passed in August 2005, authorizes funds for highway construction, highway safety programs, mass transit operations, and other surface transportation projects for the, five-year period 2005 - 2009. The new Act. combines the improvements scheduled for current programs with new initiatives for improving, transportation :safety and traffic flow efficiency, enhancing communities, and advancing economic growth. , . . ."
The DOT Highway Improvement Program (HIP) includes highway and intermodal projects that utilize federal funds administered by the FHWA, and'highway transportation infrastructure projects financed by state matching funds which include general obligation bonds and proceeds from certainland sales. The HIP implements DOT's capital program as.identified in the State's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The TIP is a listing of transportation projects that the state plans to finance over a six-year period from federal highway funds. The Federal 'Highway 'Administration requires that all projects utilizing federal funds shall appear in a:TIp adopted by the State Planning Council and approved by the Governor.
In Rhode Island, the TIP is the product of extensive public outreach to all communities, public interest groups, and citizens throughout the state by the agencies involved in transportation planning and project implementation. Following extensive public solicitation for the current TIP, highway projects are selected by a twenty-seven member public body, known as the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC), using criteria, based on six major categories: mobility benefits; cost effectiveness; economic development; environmental impact; degree of support to local and state goals and plans- and safety/security/technology.
Certain projects are reviewed by special public committees prior to selection for the TIP by the TAC. The transportation air quality subcommittee, assisted by DOT staff, conducts a solicitation and evaluation of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) ýproposals. A, TAC subcommittee reviews new bicycle/pedestrian projects, and a DOT advisory committee solicits and evaluates application for funds earmarked in SAFETEA-LU for transportation enhancement activities:
FY 2004 marked the beginning of a major effort on the part of Rhode Island government to address the rebuilding and modernization of the State's transportation systems: In November 2003, the State issued the first series in a bond program that authorizes $709.6 million and currently programs $668,.1 million in construction funds for five major infrastructure projects to be completed over an 8 '/2 year period. This undertaking will be primarily financed through two funding mechanisms. The majority of the costs ($548.2 million) will be provided through Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle bonds (GARVEE). GARVEE represents a program approved by FHWA that allows states to borrow funds, which are backed and repaid by the annual allocation of Federal Highway Administration construction funds. A supplemental revenue bond issue known as the Motor Fuel Revenue Bonds program, which is secured by 2-cents of the department's gasoline tax allocation, will provide another $119.9 million to this infrastructure initiative.
The State has issued a second series of both the GARVEE and Motor Fuel Bonds program in 2006 and is planning the issuance of a third series in 2009. The projects being financed -under this program are the 1-195 Relocation, Washington Bridge Reconstruction, a new Sakonnet River Bridge, the construction of Quonset Rt. 403, and amounts for completion of the Freight Rail Improvement Program. The debt service on the GARVEE bonds in FY 2008 and FY 2009, to be paid through the FHWA allocation, is $44.2 million and is reflected in the DOT's operating budget as a federal fund source. The gasoline tax revenue supported debt service on the Motor Fuel Tax revenue bonds dedicated to the trust account is estimated to be $7.0 million in FY 2008 and FY 2009. Unlike general obligation debt service costs that are budgeted in the Department of Administration, these debt service payments are reflected in the DOT operating budget.
94
Transportation The continued emphasis towards a more balanced multimodal transportation system extends to statewide mass transit programs. As noted above, operating assistance~of $33.3 million in FY2008 and $33.2 million in FY 2009 to the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority will be financed !from a 7.25-cent allocation of the gasoline. tax. Not recorded ,in the DOT budget, but presented in the RIPTA FY 2008 and FY 2009financial plans is RIPTA's estimate of $14.1 million in enhanced funding from Department of Human Services accounts for Medicaid client transit passes: Another cent of the gasoline tax not included in the Department of Transportation budget: supports the. efforts of the Department of Elderly Affairs and Advocacy to streamline and enhance elderly and handicapped transportation services. Much of this allocation is transferred to RIPTA to underwrite pass programs for the elderly; and to finance compliance costs statewide associated with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
The revised FY 2008 budget for DOT totals $349.5 million including .$239.4 million in federal funds,
$108.6 million in other funds, and $1.4 million in restricted receipts.,. This represents a $24.6 million decrease in. all funds fromr.the FY 2008 enacted budget. Federal. funds; decrease a total of $35.3 million while restricted receipts increase $782,874 from the enacted budget. . Other funds' for the DOT increase a total of $9.9 million from the enacted budget. The other funds total includes. gasoline'tax expenditures for the DOT, RIPTA, and GARVEEiMotor Fuel Revenue Bonds, as well as RICAP appropriations, land sale proceeds, nonland surplus property revenues, and other miscellaneous receipts.
The revised FY 2008 budget for. the ISTEA fund is $140.6 million, which represents the revised gasoline tax yield estimate .of $4,685,000 per cent as well as a: carry forward from FY 2007 totaling $219 million.
Gasoline tax funds within the Department of Transportation total $93.6 million, $50.9.is recommended for the operations of the DOT, $33.3 is the operating transfer to -finance RiTPTA, and $9.4 million' is associated with the GARVEE/Motor Fuel Revenue Bonds 'program. zGasoline. tax'. funds within the Department increase $1.2 million from .the enacted budget. The increase is primarily a result of the carry forward surplus from FY 2007. There were no revisions to the gasoline tax estimate compared to 'the FY 2008 enacted budget.. Other adjustments to the total gasoline tax appropriation for the Department -include projected transfers to the Department of Administration to finance transportation related.general-obligation bond debt service costs which total $33..6 million for DOT and $675,238 for RIPTA. The debt service adjustment to the DOT represents an increase of $1.9 million from the enacted budget. A total of $1.9 million represents the financing of Human Resources, Information Technology,, and Legal Services positions consolidated within the Department of Administration. The total .transfer amount of these positions represents an increase of $750,240 from the FY 2008 enacted budget and is partially a result of the transfer of 3.0 Legal Services positions to the Department of Administration as part of the consolidation effort. The reduction also reflects the correct. state matching proportion of thie personnel costs based upon current year federal highway funding levels. The revised FY 2008 budget also takes' into account a $2.9 million carry forward surplus from FY 2007. The Governor recomrnends'a $4.3 million balance forecast for the end of FY 2008 to be carried forward into FY 2009 in order to finance a $6.0 million increase in debt service costs.
A total recommendation of $3..2 million from RICAP funds finances the Pawtucket-Central Falls Train Station Study, RIPTA Elmwood Expansion Project, the Cherry Hill/Lincoln Project, and Maintenance Facility improvements, which is consistent with the enacted budget.
Other funds increases also include essentially an additional $7.3 million from the sale of land associated with the 1-195 relocation project and a total of $335,000 from the FCC's sale of the path between two towers used as a backup signal transponder for the analog system. DOT has opted. to utilize the revenue to outfit Division of Maintenance and other select vehicles with digital radio sets which allows the DOT to join the RISCON system.
95
Transportation Federal funds decrease a total of $35.3 million from the enacted budget. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of 30.8 million in Federal Highway Administration funds and represents the current expenditure estimate by the Department. GARVEE debt service is deducted from the total estimated obligation authority estimate for the federal highway fund, and totals $44.2 million in the revised FY 2008 budget.
The revised FY 2008 budget also includes a total of $9.8 million related to personnel costs associated with the GARVEE program and general obligation bonds within the federal fund category. Federal transit grants total $14.4 million, a decrease of $8.9 million over the enacted budget primarily for the Fixed Guideway (Commuter Rail) project. A total of $17.8 million is recommended 'for National Highway Safety Administration grants, which represents an increase of $62 ! 162 from the ehacted FY 2008 budget.
Beginning in FY 2008 the Department has instituteda new Central Services Cost Allocation Plan which will allow the Department to maximize federal reimbursement of overhead costs through an indirect cost rateto be applied to direct labor charges charged to projects. Eligible charges are those that advance DOT's federal programs and projects.
Restricted receipts increase by $782,874 million from the enacted budget and total $1.4 million in the revised FY 2008 budget.
For the Department of Transportation the Governor recommends 733.2 FTE positions for FY 2008. This is a decrease of 40.5 FTEs -from the enacted budget due to the elimination of 37.4 FTE positions vacant as of September 2007, and transfer of three legal positions to the Department of Administration.
In FY 2009, recommended expenditures from all sources for transportation activities total $370.8 million, a decrease of $3.4 miilion from the FY 2008 enacted budget.
The following chart illustrates departmental. expenditures by'source:of financing for FY 2009.

Appendix C Aid to Cities and Towns
Formula Aid to Cities and Towns The Governor's FY 2009 budget recommends formula aid to cities and towns totaling $273.6 million.
This represents a 2.2 percent, or $6.2 million decrease from the FY 2008 enacted level of funding.
The tables on the following pages display FY 2008 enacted, FY 2008 revised, and FY 2009 recommended levels of funding for formula aid to cities and towns by community. In general, formula state aid programs were level funded from the revised level with the exception of the motor vehicle excise tax reimbursement program which was increased by 3.2% to reflect increased valuation of exempted vehicles. The narrative below describes each of the programs included on the tables. It should also be noted that updated formula drivers were incorporated for FY 2009. This results in increases and decreases by community depending on changes in relative wealth and other factors which are incorporated in determining entitlements.
General Revenue Sharing - Beginning in FY 1994, one percent of total state tax revenues from the second prior fiscal year was earmarked for general state aid to cities and towns. Beginning in FY 1999, this percentage was to increase annually. In FY 2009 such distribution was to total 3.0 percent of state tax revenues. These funds are distributed based on a legislated formula encompassing per-capita income and the taxes imposed by each city or town for public purposes, excluding amounts allocated to education expenses. The Governor proposes that funding for this program in FY 2009 be set at $55.0 million, nearly the same amount as in FY 2008 revised, and to fix future distributions at three percent (3.0%) of tax revenues in FY 2010 and thereafter. For FY 2009, the entitlements by community have been adjusted to reflect the most current tax and spending data. There have been modest adjustments downward incorporated for four communities so as to eliminate appropriated increased entitlements from FY 2008 enacted.
Payment in Lieu of Taxes - Legislation creating this program requires the State of Rhode Island to reimburse cities and towns for property taxes that would have been due on certain types of real property that are exempted from taxation by state law. This includes property owned by nonprofit educational institutions, nonprofit hospitals, or any state owned hospital, veteran's facility, or correctional facility.
Reimbursement is made for twenty-seven percent of all tax that would have been collected had the property been taxable, prorated to the amount appropriated for a given year. The program has been level funded for FY 2009; however, the entitlements by community have been adjusted to reflect revenue which would have been lost resulting from eligible properties in the statutory reference year.
Distressed Communities Relief Fund - This program provides state assistance to those Rhode Island communities with the highest property tax burdens relative to the wealth of taxpayers. The Governor proposes to set the amount of total funding distributed under this program to the amount enacted in the annual appropriations act. Entitlements for FY 2009 by community reflect computations based upon the latest available qualifying data.
State Library Aid - This program provides financial support for local public library services and for the construction and capital improvement of any free public library. A portion of library aid is disbursed directly to local libraries, including private libraries, while other aid is disbursed to the individual cities and towns. Although total funding is level funded at the FY 2008 enacted level, distributions by community/library have been calculated based upon the latest available qualifying data from the statutory reference year.
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax - Legislation enacted during the 1999 General Assembly provides for a phase-out of the local excise tax on motor vehicles and trailers. This legislation was amended in 2002 to make the full phase out of the tax subject to the annual review and appropriation of the General Assembly. For fiscal year 2007, the value of the exemption from local taxes was increased to $6,000 C-1
Formula Aid to Cities and Towns per vehicle. The FY 2009 budget maintains that $6,000 exemption and assumes a 3.2% growth in the value of exempted vehicles which will be reimbursed by the state. The FY 2009 budget also incorporates the proposal to reimburse only 98. percent of the exemption value in FY 2008 and FY 2009, reflecting comparability with municipal motor vehicle.:tax collection rates.
Public Service Corporation Tax The tangible personal property of telegraph, cable and telecommunications corporations is exempt from local taxation,'but is subject 'to taxation by the state at the average property tax statewide. Funds collected from this tax are distributed to cities and towns within the state on the basis of the ratio of the city or town population to the population of the state as a whole.
Meals and Beverage Local Sales and Use Tax - During the January 2003 session, the General Assembly enacted a one percent gross receipts, tax on retail sales of meals and beverages in or from eating and/or drinking establishments. The takes 'are collected by the Division of Taxation and distributed at least quarterly to the city or town where the meals and beverages were delivered. The budget assumes that this pass through aid will increase by 2.6% for each community compared to the FY 2008 revised projection.

Appendix D Aid to, Schools
Education Aid to Local Units of Government Education Aid to Local Governments Education Aid to Local Governments totals $910.4 million in FY 2009, a $25.7 million increase in total state funding relative to the FY 2008 revised budget, and a 2.9 percent increase in the state's commitment to financing public education within Rhode Island. Total Education Aid is defined to include local public schools, the School for the Deaf, Davies Career and Technical School, the Charter Schools, the Central Falls School District and the Metropolitan Career and Technical School, as well as support for teacher retirement and school housing aid. The following sections summarize changes to the various aid categories that comprise total FY 2009 Education Aid.
DistributedAid- Maintenance of the State's Effort with Continued Supportfor CentralFalls In the extremely distressed fiscal environment surrounding the formulation of the FY 2009 Budget, the Governor has again reaffirmed his commitment to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) by proposing level funding of distributed education aid for each community. The single exception to this policy relates to those six communities that have experienced declines in the number of certified (aid-eligible) group home beds between March 14, 2007 and December 31, 2007. Per statutory changes enacted by the 2007 General Assembly, group home aid to these six districts (Cranston, Johnston, Providence, Woonsocket, Bristol/Warren, and Exeter/W. Greenwich) will be reduced by a total of $885,000, corresponding to a total statewide bed decrease of 59 certified, aid-eligible beds. Further, to continue financing essential district operations while leveraging municipal fiscal participation, state support of the Central Falls school district increases by 3.9 percent, or $1.7 million, relative to the revised FY 2008 level. Combining these two changes yields total FY 2009 distributed aid appropriations of $691.7 million, a $.8 million increase from the revised FY 2008 level.
State Schools The State Schools- Davies Career and Technical School, Metropolitan Career and Technical School, and the Rhode Island School for the Deaf are collectively financed at $33.5 million in general revenue, which constitutes a $1.4 million increase from the revised FY 2008 Budget. This reflects financing of current services at each school, and continued support of the expansion of the Metropolitan School to an East Bay campus on Aquidneck Island. This campus commenced operations during the 2006-2007 school year and maintains a current enrollment of approximately 60 students.
Non-DistributedAid Several significant adjustments for the non-distributed categories of state education aid are also recommended for FY 2009. Notable among these are the elimination of both the Hasbro Children's Hospital educational grant and the School Breakfast subsidy, and a significant reduction in financing for SALT (On-Site) Visits. These modifications to the education aid program were determined following intensive deliberations on departmental priorities conducted by the Governor during the summer of 2007.
The general revenue match for federal support of telecommunications access for public schools and libraries (the so-called E-Rate program) was likewise removed, to be funded exclusively through receipts of the Rhode Island Telecommunications Education Access Fund (RITEAF) beginning in FY 2009. The Progressive Support and Intervention (PS&I) Fund, which finances corrective intervention activities in the State's underperforming districts, is financed at $2.7 million. The single largest component of non-distributed aid, direct aid to charter schools, increases $2.9 million from the FY 2008 revised level to a total of $29.8 million in FY 2009.
D-1
Education Aid to Local Units of Government Other Aid The FY 2009 budget also includes increases in other aid of $21.9 million; $7.3 million in school housing aid reimbursements and $14.6 million in state contributions for teachers' retirement.
