Introduction

The Recommended Continuation Budget, 2003- 2005 is a six- volume document that

details Governor Easley’s recommended fiscal plan for continuing operations of the

State of North Carolina for the upcoming biennium. For publication purposes, the

various departments of state government are grouped by function within the following

volumes:

Volume 1: Education

Volume 2: General Government

Volume 3: Health and Human Services

Volume 4: Justice and Public Safety

Volume 5: Natural and Economic Resources

Volume 6: Transportation

In Sections A and B of each volume, funds are presented in numerical order within

budget code. The budget codes are also ordered numerically by their last four digits,

which typically represent a department or division, and then by their first digit, which

represents a fund type. For example, in volume six, budget code 84210 precedes code

14222, which precedes 84290. The only exception to this order occurs where the last

four digits of the budget code deviate from the usual department/ division designation.

Section A provides mission statements for departments and a statement of purpose for

each fund, as well as full titles for each budget code and fund code. ( Mission and fund

purpose statements are also included for each separate university in the UNC system,

each division of the Department of Health and Human Services, and occupational

licensing boards.)

Section B presents the proposed budget for each budget code and fund code,

beginning with summary tables for each budget code followed by fund details for each

budgeted fund within the budget code. Summaries for each budget code are listed

below:

Summary by Fund

Summary by Account

Position Counts, Summary by Fund

Volume 5 vi Natural and Economic Resources

For each fund, “ Fund Detail” presents the information termed “ Worksheet I” in the

budget preparation system. Tabular data in Section B are presented for 2001- 02 actual

amounts spent or received, 2002- 03 certified and authorized amounts, and 2003- 04

and 2004- 05 recommended amounts.

Section A is intended both as an explanation of the operations supported by each fund

as well as an index to the fiscal data in Section B. Section A page numbers for budget

codes refer to the first page of the five summary tables for that code, and page

numbers for fund codes refer to the first page of the fund detail table.

A summary of Governor Easley’s recommended budget, including both continuation

and expansion budgets, is published separately from these six volumes.

Brief Definitions

Recommended Budget

Total of continuation and expansion budgets submitted by the Governor to the General

Assembly for a biennium beginning with an odd- numbered year, for example, 2003- 05.

Continuation Budget

That portion of the recommended budget that maintains existing, authorized levels of

recurring services in agencies for a biennium. The continuation budget is based on the

current year’s authorized budget; it may be adjusted through Worksheet I’s for level of

expenditure, inflationary increase, increase in services required, annualization of

programs, reduction for nonrecurring programs, and adjustments for receipts.

Expansion Budget

That portion of the recommended budget that presents additional operating funds for

expansion of existing programs, including inflationary cost for the state’s share of

locally- operated programs, new programs, or pilot projects; proposals to change a

statutory- controlled program by redirecting funds from one program to another;

onetime major equipment purchases; and continued phase- in of new programs

initiated in a previous biennium.

Volume 5 vii Natural and Economic Resources

Certified Budget

Once the state budget is approved by the General Assembly and released, the Office

of State Budget and Management ( OSBM) certifies the official budgets to state

agencies. Agencies can then operate under the new budget. The State Budget Officer

certifies the appropriations, revenue, and condition of the fund to the Office of State

Controller and the State Treasurer. The certified budget reflects budget revisions that

were specifically mandated by the General Assembly.

Authorized Budget

The certified budget plus revisions delegated to the Office of State Budget and

Management and to agencies by the Executive Budget Act.

Fund Code

Funds ( or budget centers) are established as a result of authorization by the General

Assembly; changes in the accounting standards; authorizations by OSBM; and/ or grant

awards from federal, state, local, or private agencies, or from individuals. The fund

code is a four- digit number that, with its parent budget code, uniquely identifies the

fund.

Budget Code

The Office of State Budget and Management and the Office of State Controller

together with the State Treasurer determine a five- digit number ( budget code) for

budgetary reporting. This number generally identifies major fund types and the

responsible entity for reporting. The first digit is the fund type. The second and third

digits are usually the department/ division code. Budget codes are established for the

following fund types:

0xxxx - Institutional Funds Revenue

1xxxx - General Fund

2xxxx - Special Funds

3xxxx - Federal Funds

4xxxx - Capital Project Funds

5xxxx - Enterprise Funds

6xxxx - Trust and Agency Funds

7xxxx - Service Funds

8xxxx - Highway Funds
