2001 Budget Analysis: Department of General Services (1760)
The budget proposes a $3 million General Fund augmentation ($2.7 million one-time and $300,000 ongoing) for the California eBusiness Center which conducts studies of e-government
services to California businesses. Last year the 2000-01 Budget Act provided five personnel-years and $4.4 million from the General Fund ($2.4 million one-time and $2 million ongoing) to
start the eBusiness Center. In addition, the Supplemental Report of the 2000-01 Budget Act directed DGS to report to the Legislature, by April 1, 2001, on the expected benefits of the
eBusiness Center. Figure 6 summaries the key components to be included in this report.

General Fund Being Used to Support Special Fund Programs. Our review of current- and budget-year activities indicates that a number of the eBusiness Center activities support special
funds programs. For example, General Fund support is being used for an on-line bidding project which allows the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to post construction
project proposals and conduct bidding on-line, even though most of Caltrans' activities are funded through special funds.
Administration Should Revise Proposal to Include Special Funds. We believe that services provided by the eBusiness Center to departments that are funded by special funds should be
supported by special funds.
2001 Budget Analysis: Department of General Services (1760)
Consequently, we withhold recommendation on this proposal pending receipt of information from the department identifying (1) total deferred maintenance backlog, (2) a plan to eliminate the
backlog, (3) the annual amount necessary to properly maintain buildings and undertake special repairs, and (4) the necessary adjustment to the building rental rates to accomplish these goals.
Statewide Support Services 
Report on State's Telecommunications Contract Not Received 
We recommend that the Legislature not take action on the proposal to decrease the Department of General Services' telecommunications expenditure authority by
$12.1 million until the department provides a report to the Legislature, due January 1, 2001, which describes the actions of the state and the contractor to address problems
in the state's telecommunications network. 
The budget proposes a $12.1 million reduction in DGS expenditure authority due to the replacement of the state's telecommunications operations with the California Integrated Information
Network (CIIN) contract.
The CALNET System. In 1996, DGS began the divestiture of the state's telecommunications operations, known as CALNET, and the procurement of telecommunications services from
another firm. The CALNET, which was developed in the early 1990s, was never fully accepted by state departments as DGS had planned. As a result, it did not generate the anticipated
revenues and, in fact, experienced losses over several years. Because CALNET was losing money, the state decided to sell off its hardware and purchase these services from a private vendor.
In January 1997, DGS released its strategic plan for providing statewide telecommunications services, known as the CIIN Strategic Plan. The plan proposed moving to a privately owned and
operated network, via a contract with a vendor which could cost up to $500 million over five years.
The CIIN Contract. In December, 1998 the administration signed a contract with Pacific Bell (PacBell)/MCI to provide voice and data communication services to state and local entities. This
annual amount of the CIIN contract is estimated to be about $100 million.
State agencies began to utilize the new telecommunications service in January 1999. Conversion of voice communications has been completed and very few problems experienced.
Frame-Relay Network Experienced Major Problems in 1999.

The 2024-25 Budget: California State University
The state also typically waits to finance the construction phase of a project until after designs have been developed and cost estimates have been refined. Over the past three years, the Legislature has approved many CSU projects without applying these standards. 
Issues Have Emerged in the Absence of Regular Controls. Without regular state standards of review, CSU has had greater discretion than most agencies to proceed with projects, with some issues emerging as a result. Most notably, CSU has financed projects that remain in early planning phases. Borrowing large sums before projects have advanced to the construction phase generally is viewed as poor budget practice, incurring unnecessary interest costs. In addition, CSU has changed at least one project, the San Jose student housing project, midcourse. Although the San Jose project ultimately might be worthwhile, changing the project after it received state approval further weakens legislative oversight. 
Recommendations
Recommend Strengthening Oversight of CSU Projects. Were the Legislature to approve later rounds of funding for CSU student housing projects or approve direct state support for other CSU projects, we recommend it apply its regular standard of review and approval to these projects. Specifically, we recommend it (1) identify each project’s scope, cost, and schedule in the budget act; (2) require the timely notification of significant changes to project scope, cost, and schedule, consistent with regular state requirements; and (3) authorize funding to advance projects by phase rather than all at once.
Recommend Aligning Funding With Estimated Debt Service Costs. Whereas the state provided $100 million ongoing General Fund intended to support the debt service associated with the 21 projects, actual debt service costs (even with the higher rates for taxable bonds) are expected to be lower than originally budgeted. The savings will be most substantial in the first two years because not all of the bonds will have been sold. Beginning in the third year, costs might still be slightly lower than the original appropriation depending on interest rates. Based on CSU’s most recent estimates, the debt service costs associated with these projects total $25 million in 2023‑24, $68 million in 2024‑25, and $87 million in 2025‑26 and ongoing.

Maintains Majority of Funding From Previous Climate

a number of multiyear thematic climate and natural resources funding
packages totaling about $36.5 billion across the six-year period of
2021‑22 through 2026‑27. Most of this funding was provided from the
General Fund on a one-time or temporary basis, though some was from

as a small amount of federal funds. To help address the state’s General
Fund shortfall, the 2023‑24 spending plan makes a number of
revisions—including reductions and delays—to these thematic packages.

The 2024-25 Budget: Child Welfare
(As noted earlier, statute specifies that the interim rates will expire December 31, 2024, and that the permanent, ongoing LOC rates structure will be established by January 1, 2025.)
What Is the Automation Time Line? Typically, automation efforts cannot begin until the full detailed guidance is provided by the department to counties. Depending on the level of detail included in the trailer bill language, how much time would be needed for the department to develop the full detailed guidance for counties? Is the initial automation funding of $12 million General Fund included in the Governor’s budget for 2024-25 realistically going to be spent in the budget year? Could these funds be provided in a future year without causing a delay to implementation?
How Will the Legislature Conduct Ongoing Oversight? How will implementation success be measured? What data will be collected? What are proposed legislative reporting requirements?

2001 Budget Analysis: P&I, Part 1
On February 1, the Governor signed Chapter 4x, Statutes of 2001 (AB 1x, Keeley), which
authorizes the state Department of Water Resources (DWR) to enter into contracts to purchase
electricity for resale to utility customers in California. With this measure, the state government is now a
key purchaser of electricity for customers of California's private investor-owned utilities. Assembly Bill
1x also authorizes the state to issue revenue bonds to help finance the power purchases, and
authorizes the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to set rates which are adequate to cover
DWR's power purchasing costs and debt repayments. Although the amount of debt authorized is
based on a formula which will be calculated by the CPUC, the administration has indicated that it will
likely be in the range of $10 billion.
The measure also appropriates $500 million from the General Fund to cover the initial costs of
purchasing electricity, and authorizes the state to incur additional deficiencies for this purpose. As of
mid-February, the state had used up the $500 million AB 1x appropriation, and had submitted a $500
million deficiency to finance additional power purchases. When combined with $600 million
previously authorized by (1) Chapter 3x, Statutes of 2001 (SB 7x, Burton) and (2) the Governor's
January 17 emergency proclamation, the state has thus far committed $1.6 billion for electricity
purchases.
Large Electricity Purchases Are Scheduled. Between now (mid-February) and when the first bond sales
occur (currently estimated to be in early May), the General Fund will incur large additional electricity
purchase costs—potentially exceeding $2 billion. These large outlays will occur for two reasons. First,
there is a 75-day electricity billing cycle, meaning that the General Fund will not receive the first
reimbursements for DWR's purchases until mid-April. Second, even after the reimbursements begin,
the customers' regulated rate for wholesale purchases (about 7¢/kwh) is well below current-wholesale
costs (over 25¢/kwh).
