The estimated cost for the Joint Standing Committee on State and Local Government to hold an interim meeting to 
review the report and report out legislation is projected to be $1,625 in fiscal year 2011-12. The Legislature's 
proposed budget includes $10,000 in fiscal year 2011-12 for legislative studies. Whether this amount is sufficient to 
fund all studies will depend on the number of studies authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature. 
Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Removing three Senior Planner positions, one Public Service Manager I position and related training and technical 
assistance from the State Planning Office (SPO) dedicated to supporting the Maine Commission for Community 
Service (MCCS) will result in deallocations of Federal Expenditure Funds commencing in fiscal year 2011-12. A 
, General Fund deappropriation of $40,000 is included to reflect matching funds that SPO would no longer provide to 
MCCS. 
The bill includes an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation to the Department of Secretary of State 0[$135,700 in 
fiscal year 2011-12 and $139,946 in fiscal year 2012-13 for one Office Associate II position and related costs to 
provide administrative support to the Maine Commission for Community Service. The department does not current., , 
have funding to cover these costs and the bill does not allow General Fund appropriations for administrative purposes.
