Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The total cost to the Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities in FY2010 and FY2011 of $1,848,349 is based upon the following: 755.6 FTE's (430.6 at Sharpe and 325 at Bateman) * $2,000 = $1,511,200. Benefits of $337,149 were calculated as follows: FICA, retirement, and workers' compensation at 22.31% of personal services. The proposed increase for FY2012 yields an increase in salaries of $755,600 (755.6 FTE's * $1,000) and benefits of $168,574.
Memorandum
This bill only included William R. Sharpe, Jr. Hospital and Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital. It did not mention the Transitional Living Facility located on the grounds of Sharpe Hospital so those FTE's were not included in the calculation. Also, with the addition of 20 beds at Bateman and 50 beds at Sharpe, the total FTE's for these facilities will increase. This increase was not taken into account.
