2nd Correction-OHCS Budget: An Initial Look Shows General Fund Down to Less than 1% of Budget; Fed Share Up to 29%.

2nd Correction: Found and corrected another "05-07" reference to read "07-09"
Correction: Corrected reference in FTE comparision to "07-09" from erroneous "05-07".

I have prepared three tables in a one page analysis of the proposed FY 2011-13 budget for OHCS HERE

Some observations:
  1. General Funds will make up less than 1% of the OHCS budget; general funds are down 51.2% from 07-09 actuals, and 7.6% from the last legislatively approved budget. General Funds will TOTAL $9.5 million in the upcoming budget. (Keep that figure in mind for a future post).
  2. Federal funds will increase from 19% of the legislatively approved budget in 09-11 to 29% of the budget in 11-13; federal funds will total $307 million in coming biennium, but will decrease by 21% from $387 million in the 09-11 biennium budget.
  3. FTE will increase to 168, an increase of 13% from most recent legislatively approved budget, and up 23% from 07-09 actual costs.  (No doubt this reflects Hardest Hit staff costs).
  4. Total funds at $1.053 Billion are down 33% from 05-07 actual costs, and down 49% from 09-11 legislatively approved budget. (This is likely because of drop in bond sales, reflected in the "other funds, unlimited" category).
Feel free to add YOUR observations as comments to this post.
