BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp.173-181)
The Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD)
administers a statewide system of care, for more than 120,000 persons with
developmental disabilities and their families, structured around Developmental
Disabilities Services Offices (DDSO). The Executive proposes consolidating the
Taconic and Capital District DDSOs, leaving a total of 12 statewide. OMRDD
projects have a workforce of 22,182 provide direct care services, as well as
licensing and overseeing the community network of more than 600 not-for-profit
residential and day program providers.
OMRDD will operate 662 developmental center beds and 1,030 secure treatment beds
during State Fiscal Year(SFY) 2001-02. Direct services are also provided at
State-operated residential and day programs, based in the community. The third
year of the New York State Creating Alternatives in Residential Environments and
Services (NYS-CARES) initiative begins on April 1, 2001. Year three will see
nearly 1,000 new residential opportunities and 190 day services provided.
Completion of the five-year initiative will result in nearly five thousand
residential placements in the community, and will provide for assistance to
clients residing at home with their families, as well as day services for both
populations.
A net developmental center census decline of 19 to a total of 1,692 is projected
to result from: 179 persons moving to community settings; the addition of 60
beds at the Valley Ridge Center for Intensive Treatment at Norwich; the addition
of 60 intensive treatment beds statewide, and the addition of 40 beds to serve
persons who are dually diagnosed as both developmentally disabled and mentally
ill. OMRDD also plans to open 24 State-operated community beds in New York
City for emergency placement of children referred by the New York City
Administration for Children's Services and the
Health and Hospitals Corporation.
This agency is included in the Health, Mental Hygiene and Environmental
Conservation appropriation bill.
State Operations
The Executive recommends a net All Funds State Operations increase of 23,688,000
for a total of $1,140,152,000. The
proposal provides for the following:
-- A net increase of 245 full time equivalent positions resulting from the
addition of 684 new positions and the elimination of 439 positions
related to census declines and efficiency actions.
-- Increases for collective bargaining agreements offset by savings taken
for staff turnover.
-- Savings from various management efficiencies such as implementing "best
practices," automating payment processing, centralizing personnel
functions, consolidating DDSOs and closing campuses, consolidating
duplicate titles and reducing overtime spending.
-- Increases related to inflation adjustments for energy, pharmaceutical and
other nonpersonal service items.
Aid to Localities
The Executive recommends a net All Funds Aid to Localities increase of
$89,552,316 for a total of $1,163,599,000. The major proposals contributing to
this change include:
-- an increase of $51,267,000 for the third year of NYS-CARES, bringing the
Program total to $105,000,000;
-- an increase of $20,200,000 for a 3.52 percent trend adjustment to
Medicaid eligible Intermediate Care Facilities and Community Based
Services Waiver Programs;
-- various federal revenue maximization efforts that allow for General Fund
savings totaling $11,909,000;
-- an increase of $8,315,000 for non-NYS-CARES residential and day service
expansion in SFY 2001-02.
-- an increase of $7,548,000 to annualize non-NYS-CARES residential and day
service opportunities from SFY
2000-01;
-- a decrease of $5,593,000 from the elimination of Legislative initiatives;
-- an increase of $5,000,000 to continue support for the children at the
Margaret Chapman Residential School as alternative placements are sought
for them;
-- an increase of $4,275,000 for a $500 cost of living adjustment to the
salaries and fringe benefits of direct care and health and safety support
staff;
-- an increase of $2,628,000 for six additional State/local joint venture
Article 16 clinics; and
-- an increase of $2,000,000 to assist those day treatment providers who
are severely impacted by increased fuel
costs.
Capital Projects
The Executive proposes a net All Funds Capital Projects increase of $29,719,000
for a total of $92,836,000. Funding for projects for voluntary operated
community providers is increased over prior year appropriations by $5,479,000 to
$16,540,000. The funds are made available for maintenance and repair of
existing facilities, new project development costs and to provide financing for
a small number of voluntary agencies that are unable to obtain private financing
for bed development. Requested support for State-operated capital projects shows
a year-to-year net increase of $24,240,000 to $76,296,000. The funds are for
maintenance and rehabilitation at various developmental campuses, projects at
secure facilities and the development of new State operated Individual
Residential Alternative beds.
Article VII Legislation
The Executive proposes Article VII legislation which would close the Taconic
Developmental Disabilities Services Office and transfer its functions to the
Capital District Developmental Disabilities Services Office.
