2013-15 Biennial Budget State of Wisconsin DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 2013-2015 BIENNIAL BUDGET PROPOSAL Cathy L. Stepp, Secretary September 2012 State of Wisconsin CORRESPONDENCE/MEMORANDUM DATE: September 27, 2012 TO: Mike Huebsch, Secretary Department of Administration FROM: Cathy L. Stepp, Secretary Department of Natural Resources SUBJECT: Proposed Department of Natural Resources State Budget: 2013-2015 Enclosed for your review and action is the Department of Natural Resources 2013-2015 Biennial State Budget approved by the Natural Resources Board at their September 26 meeting. This is a restrained budget package, reflecting the national economic climate and the Department of Administration’s policy guidance. The proposed two-year DNR budget is $553.6 million for 2013-14 and $553.0 million for 2014-15. In total, the two-year budget includes a decrease of $16.8 million over the 2013-15 Biennial Budget, of which $13.3 million represents standard cost to continue items as defined by DOA, which are primarily composed of the difference in amounts budgeted for salaries versus actual salary costs. This budget in total reflects a 1.5% decrease to the 2012-13 base. There are no GPR increases included in the budget. Increases that are included are primarily Conservation Fund financed. These increases will be used to maintain Park, Forest and Law Enforcement operations. The budget also includes 2.0 additional new FTE to assist in our efforts to oversee Sand Mining efforts in the State. This budget includes a decrease of 17.60 FTE to the Department’s base staffing complement, bringing overall staffing to 2,641.34. Thank you for your consideration of these proposals.

  • Wis. Agency Abbreviations
    GUIDE TO WISCONSIN STATE AGENCIES AND THEIR CALL NUMBERS Wisconsin Historical Society Library 816 State Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Rev. to Oct. 2017 The Wisconsin State publications collection is arranged by agencies. A system of classification based on the federal Superintendent of Documents scheme was devised so that all of an agency's publications would be shelved together. This guide was produced to help you find an agency's publications. It also provides a history of agency changes in Wisconsin State government. This guide traces Wisconsin state agencies from the beginning of statehood to the present. The guide is divided into four sections. Part I is arranged alphabetically by the keyword of the agency (second column) and part II is alphabetical by call number (first column). The complete call number is not given, only the beginning alphabetical portion of the call number. Part III is a listing of subagencies with different call numbers than their parent agency. If you know the name of an agency look in Part I to find the call number In most cases everything from an agency is shelved under the call number of the major agency. There are exceptions to this. When an agency started out independently, but later became part of another agency it will still be found under its original call number. This is where Part III will prove useful. This alphabetical listing of major agencies, both past and present, with subagencies which have a different keyword classification is a reflection of an agency's history. One must remember that divisions of subagencies will have the same call number as the subagency.

  • Wisconsin's Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015)
    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.
