Budget Highlights

The Office of General Services (OGS) provides four major categories of services to State agencies including:

  • custodial, maintenance, security and utility services at non-institutional State buildings;
  • centralized services on a General Fund chargeback basis, including communication, design and construction;
  • procurement and lease contract negotiations; and
  • surplus State lands conveyances services.

The Office is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill.

The Executive proposes an All Funds appropriation of $352,898,000, a net decrease of $63,317,600 or 15.2 percent from State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-04 funding levels.

State Operations

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $309,448,000, an increase of $18,732,400 above SFY 2003- 04.

The Executive recommendation includes a $121,707,000 General Fund appropriation which reflects:

  • a net increase of $1,724,000 in State Operations salary and personal service costs and other costs associated with Agency operations; and

  • a net increase of $3,084,000 in nonpersonal services associated with increased utility costs.

The Executive also recommends a $7,600,000 Special Revenue Funds-Federal appropriation reflecting no change from SFY 2003-04. This appropriation is for services and expenses associated with administering the National Lunch Program which distributes surplus food to the needy.

The Special Revenue Funds-Other appropriation of $16,027,000 reflects an increase of $1,235,000 from current year funding levels due to increased costs related to parking security measures and a change in the surplus property disposition process.

The Executive recommends a $162,692,000 Internal Service Funds appropriation, an increase of $12,608,400 from current year funding levels. The increase reflects the implementation of the Equipment Maintenance Insurance Program and the transfer of responsibility for the Department of Transportation (DOT) print shop operations to OGS.

The Executive recommends Fiduciary Funds contingent appropriations totaling $250,000, reflecting no change from SFY 2003-04, for the Executive Mansion Trust.

Capital Projects

The Executive recommends $43,450,000 in new Capital appropriations, representing a decrease of $82,050,000 from SFY 2003-04. The SFY 2004-05 Capital Spending Plan for the Office includes:

  • $13,293,000 is appropriated for preservation of facilities, a $52,707,000 decrease from SFY 2003-04;
  • $13,043,000 is appropriated for health and safety related activities, a $6,957,000 decrease from SFY 2003-04;
  • $9,071,000 is appropriated for design and construction supervision, a $3,929,000 decrease from SFY 03-04; and
  • $8,043,000 is appropriated for preventive maintenance related activities, a $1,043,000 increase from SFY 2003-04.

The proposed Capital Projects Fund Budget does not include a New Facilities Purpose appropriation nor a discreet appropriation for rehabilitation of the State Capitol. The Executive Budget contains $16,502,000 in reappropriations for rehabilitation of the State Capitol. In SFY 2003-04, there was a $19,500,000 appropriation for services and expenses related to the construction of an Elk Street parking facility, which is fully reappropriated in the Executive's proposed SFY 2004-05 budget.
