SJRWMD FY 2017-2018 Final Budget • There will be a $16.14 million decrease in Interagency Expenditures that is largely due to a large amount of carryover encumbrances from prior years into FY 2016-17 for both subactivity 2.2.1 and activity 2.3. Program 3.0 — Operation and Maintenance of Lands and Works The program budget has a 15.7 percent decrease ($4 million) compared to the FY 2016-17 amended budget. Budget categories with noticeable variances include: • Salaries and Benefits will see a 6 percent reduction because several high-level positions became vacant during FY 2016-17 and were filled based on needs and commensurate with experience and qualifications. • Contracted Services will decrease by 14.7 percent primarily due to reductions in Vegetation Management and Planting Services ($520,726), Computer Technology Services ($115,189), Fence Services ($57,910), Security Services ($45,341), and Non -Recurring Contracted Services ($39,191). • Operating Expenses will decrease by 6.4 percent primarily due to reductions in Field, Facility, and Fleet Support Supplies/Parts under $1,000 ($85,092) and Repair and Maintenance of Works ($42,191). • Operating Capital Outlay will decrease by 26.6 percent largely due to a reduction in Field, Facility and Fleet Equipment and Tools over $1,000 budget ($394,073). • A $2.65 million, or 54.2 percent, reduction under Fixed Capital Outlay is primarily due to reduced funding from FDOT ($97,500) and Land Acquisition Trust Fund ($113,495) for various mitigation and restoration projects under activity 3.1 and fewer major rehabilitations projects ($2.5 million) in FY 2017-18 under activity 3.2. • Interagency Expenditures will see a 68 percent reduction due to no new funding for the Lake Jesup Conservation Area Road Project ($132,500) previously funded by FDOT and for Field Activities — Land Management ($86,416) previously funded by both Land Acquisition Trust Fund and District sources. Program 4.0 — Regulation The program budget has a 7.1 percent decrease ($889,254) compared to the FY 2016- 17 amended budget. Budget categories with noticeable variances include: • The reduction in Contracted Services budget ($63,200) is primarily due to the reduction in Data Collection and Analysis Services ($90,000). • Operating Expenses will see a 45 percent reduction primarily due to decreases in Postage and/or Courier Service budget ($20,000), Freight, Moving, and Storage budget ($49,400), and Subscriptions budget ($74,824). Program 5.0 — Outreach The program budget has a 3.5 percent decrease ($41,200) compared to the FY 2016- 17 amended budget primarily due to reductions in Salaries and Benefits ($62,242). Budget categories with noticeable variances include: • A 6 percent decrease under Salaries and Benefits is due to a net reduction of 1 FTE that redirected to another program/activity. • Contracted Services will decrease by 35.4 percent due solely to a reduction in Computer Technology Services ($9,850).
