Office of the State Comptroller

Core Financial System: The bill provides an additional $0.96 million in FY 08 and $1.1 million in FY 09 for the Core-CT project, which is funded through the Comptroller's Office. The goal of this project is to upgrade and integrate the state's core financial and personnel/human resources management systems. It will also provide a data warehouse to allow the analysis and reporting of financial, personnel and program information on a statewide basis. All state agencies are involved in the planning and implementation processes. The funding sources are shown below. The unallocated balance in this account as of 4/30/07 is $0.97 million.


Funding for the CORE Financial System

¹ Does not include $10 million authorized by SA 02-1, M9SS, and canceled in sSB 33

Department of Revenue Services

Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS): The bill provides $11.3 million in FY 08 for ITAS. ITAS replaces the previous 27-year-old system. It is designed to integrate various stand-alone tax information systems and provide greater efficiency in the agency's ability to administer the 34 taxes imposed by the state. The history of the funding for the ITAS project is appears below. There is no unallocated balance in this account as of 4/30/07.

¹ State Bond Commission

Dept. of Information Technology and Department of Education

Connecticut Education Network (CEN): The bill provides $2.1 million in FY 08 million for CEN. The goal of CEN is to link all local school systems with all public libraries and private and public universities in the state. The total funding provided for CEN is listed in the table below. There is no unallocated balance in this account as of 4/30/07.


Funding for the Connecticut Education Network (CEN)
Source	Amount
FY 00 Surplus	$2.8 million
FY 01 Surplus	$2.1 million
SA 02-1, M9SS, bond funds	$10.0 million

SA 05-1 (JSS), bond funds	$9.8 million
This bill, bond funds	$2.1 million
Total	$36.8 million

Department of Education: In addition to the CEN authorization, this bill authorizes $3 million in each of FY 08 and FY 09 for school technology wiring under the Department of Education. Those funds will enable existing schools that do not currently have the technology wiring to connect to CEN.

Department of Motor Vehicles

Integrated Transaction Processing System (ITPS): The bill provides $17 million in FY 08 to upgrade DMV's information technology systems, including registration, suspension, driver services and driver license systems. ITPS will integrate more than 40 stand-alone systems as the Real Time On-line Registration System (RTOL) for vehicle registration, the Cashiering System, and the Driver Licensing System. Currently for example, the Suspension System is not integrated with the Driver License System or the Registration System so a suspension record could exist but would not be reflected in other systems.

FY 05 to FY 06 and FY 07 carry forward	$15.5 million
SA 05-1, (JSS) bond funds	10.0 million

This bill, bond funds	17.0 million
Total	$51.9 million

Department of Environmental Protection

To the extent that the funds for the 40 plus new Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) projects are allocated, it is anticipated that the department will require 4 additional fiscal administrative positions at a cost of approximately $215,000 for salaries plus additional costs for fringe benefits¹ to administer these projects. The additional workload includes preparing and processing grants; processing and authorizing payments; reconciling CORE CT transactions and account balances; assuring project compliance and completion; coordinating any fiscal year rollover processes; and reviewing town single audits for confirmation that state funds were properly recorded in municipal records.

Commission on Culture and Tourism

To the extent that the funds for the 25 plus new Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism (CCCT) projects are allocated, it is anticipated that the CCCT will require 3 additional fiscal administrative positions at a cost of approximately $165,000 for salaries plus additional costs for fringe benefits to administer and ensure due diligence of these projects.

Department of Economic and Community Development

To the extent that the 30 plus new Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) projects are allocated, it is anticipated that the DECD will require 4 additional positions including 1 architect, 1 construction specialist, and 2 assistant development agents at a cost of approximately $202,000 for salaries plus additional costs for fringe benefits¹ to administer and ensure due diligence on these projects.

Municipal

The bill changes the following authorizations for programs that may be used to finance grants-in-aid to municipalities:

Open Space Grants-in-aid to Towns: The bill provides $5 million in each of FY 08 and FY 09. The unallocated balance in this account as of 4/30/07 is $8.75 million.

Grants-in-aid to public libraries: The bill provides $5 million in each of FY 08 and FY 09 for libraries that are not located in distressed municipalities. The bill also provides $5 million in each of FY 08 and FY 09 for libraries that are located in distressed municipalities. The unallocated balance for grant-in-aid to libraries as of 4/30/07 is $4 million.

¹ The fringe benefit costs for state employees are budgeted centrally in the Miscellaneous Accounts administered by the Comptroller. The estimated first year fringe benefit rate for a new employee as a percentage of average salary is 25.8%, effective July 1, 2006. The first year fringe benefit costs for new positions do not include pension costs. The state's pension contribution is based upon the prior year's certification by the actuary for the State Employees Retirement System (SERS). The SERS 2006-07 fringe benefit rate is 34.4%, which when combined with the non pension fringe benefit rate totals 60.2%.
