Department
of Transportation and Development
Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Appropriation
Level |
| State General Fund (Direct) |
$434,000 |
| Total Means of Financing |
$357,494,390 |
At the close of the 2000 2nd Extraordinary Session,
DOTD’s budget was $357.5 million for FY 2001, or about 1.7% less than its funding
level for the FY 2000 Executive Budget. This department also had a loss of 252
T.O.
positions. In the original HB1 of the 2000 Regular Session, the department had no
below-the-line funding. Several enhancements to DOTD’s budget were stripped during
committee hearings, most notably a $1.5 million appropriation which would have supplied
the department with a new airplane for taking aerial survey pictures, but several
Statutory Dedications and Self-generated Revenues were approved, such as:
- $172,500 in Statutory Dedications for technical support staff for the Information
Technology Section;
- $400,000 in Statutory Dedications for an automation plan to establish directives for the
department’s computer system;
- $594,462 in Statutory Dedications for contracts for digital maps, traffic studies,
transportation plans, and pavement distress data;
- $174,273 in Self-generated Revenues from the LOGO program for contracts for research and
development and the LOGO sign program;
- $417,020 in Self-generated Revenues for the increased training for 105 officers in the
Weights and Standards Police.
