Shift Personnel to Gen Fund The department is requesting to shift $433,800 in personnel costs and six positions from the Miscellaneous Revenue Fund to the General Fund. According to IPTV, dedicated funds are less predictable, are not increasing, and cannot sufficiently provide for ongoing personnel cost increases. Granting this fund shift will help ensure the sustainability of the administration and maintenance of the statewide delivery system that provides a broadcast signal to nearly all regions of the entire state. Positions being shifted include one fiscal officer, one senior financial specialist, one financial support technician, and two regional and one field engineer.
ANALYST COMMENT: Section 67-3516(2), Idaho Code, allows the Division of Financial Management (DFM) the authority to grant additional spending authority to agencies for moneys that were not known during the appropriation process. Since Idaho Public Television received consistent donations over a ten-year period from the Friends of Idaho Public Television, a nonprofit organization, and other various sources including private donations and federal grants; the Joint Finance & Appropriations Committee decided to start appropriating those funds beginning in FY 2014.
