Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The financial data provided assumes that HB 2446 will be effective July 1, 2007. Therefore no FY07 expenditures are projected.
The first full year of operation of the proposed Office would be FY08. It is assumed that during the first year, start-up costs will include the purchase of computers, office furniture, and equipment such as copiers, fax machines, etc. Subsequent years' expenditures are reduced by approximately $70,000 per year, which represents a reduction in equipment, building repairs and alterations expenditures, and initial training and development costs.
No Administrative costs are reflected in the estimated expenditures. Administrative support is projected to be provided by the current administrative staff of the Governor's Office.
Listed below is a detail of the first full year (Year 1) and estimated subsequent years' (Year 2 & thereafter) expenditures:
