Introduction
Operating budget by department
The North Carolina State Budget: Recommended Op-erating
Budget with Results- Based Information, 2007-
2009 is a six- volume document that details Governor
Easley’s recommended fiscal plan for the budgets of
each department in the State of North Carolina for the
upcoming biennium.
New results- based information
Newly integrated with the budget details for each de-partment
are mission statements, goals, fund descrip-tions,
key services supported by each fund or budget
code, costs of services in dollars and staff, and perfor-mance
measures. These results- based budgeting ele-ments
are intended to improve the reader’s understand-ing
of why an agency exists, what the agency does, how
much money its services cost, and how effective its
services are. The inclusion of these results- based budget
elements is the first step in a multiyear effort to pro-vide
members of the North Carolina General Assembly
and the public with expanded budget and operational
information. Ultimately, this information is designed
to improve funding, planning, and management deci-sions
in state government.
Line item details
Line item base budget details for all budgeted budget
codes and their component funds are available in a
PDF file on the Web site of the Office of State Budget
and Management, www. osbm. state. nc. us.
Order of presentation, explanation of codes
For publication of the recommended operating budget
for state agencies, the various departments 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
Each volume is organized by department, by budget
code, and then by fund code. Each department is as-signed
a unique five- digit budget code or set of budget
codes ( except for the Department of Health and Hu-man
Services, which has a unique budget code for each
of its divisions). Each budget code is further divided
into four- character fund codes that represent a group
of activities for accounting purposes. Within depart-ment
budget codes, the recommended base budget is
presented in order by fund code.
Presentation of base budget and recom-mended
adjustments
The governor’s recommended operating budget is
comprised of two distinct components: 1) the base
budget, or continuation budget, which enables a
department to continue existing services and activities
at current levels, and 2) recommended adjustments
to the base budget, which include new programs and
expansions to current activities, as well as reductions
and eliminations. The base budget combined with any
recommended adjustments yields the recommended
operating budget for the biennium.
For each budget code in the General Fund that begins
with “ 1”, summarized information shows recommend-ed
appropriations and positions. Brief descriptions
of recommended adjustments to the base budget are
included with associated costs in dollars and positions.
These costs are specified as recurring or nonrecurring.
This section of information for the budget code is
titled “ Governor’s Recommended Adjustments to Base
Budget.”
. For example, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
( budget code 14300) has numerous fund codes corresponding to each of its
programs. The budget for the Division of Marine Fisheries appears in three
fund codes, one for each of its major activities, administration ( 14300-
1315), research ( 14300- 1320), and law enforcement ( 14300- 1325).
ix
Following the display of recommendations for adjust-ments
to the base budget is a section for the budget
code titled “ Base Budget and Results- Based Informa-tion.”
This base budget section begins with graphs of
expenditure and position histories that illustrate funding
and staffing trends over the last several years.
The graphs in the base budget section for each budget
code are followed by a summary base budget table. The
summary base budget table displays the requirements,
receipts, appropriation, and positions for the following:
Actual expenditures for FY 2005- 06 ( the most re-cent
year for which actual information is available)
Certified budget for FY 2006- 07
Authorized budget for FY 2006- 07
Allowable adjustments, such as inflationary increas-es,
to the current authorized budget for each fiscal
year of the 2007- 09 biennium
Totals for each fiscal year of the 2007- 09 biennium
Following the base budget table for a budget code is a
display of base budget information for each fund within
the budget code, in order by fund code. The presenta-tion
for each fund begins with a base budget for the
fund followed by a fund description that explains the
major activities being funded. The structure for the
fund’s base budget table is the same as that for its parent
budget code.
Results- based information presented with
base budget
To explain and justify the expenditure of state taxpayers’
money, agencies have prepared supporting results- based
information, which is developed at either the budget
code level or the fund level. This information includes
service statements that describe the lines of business,
business processes, or set of activities supported by the
fund or budget code; actual requirements ( expenditures)
and personnel requirements ( FTEs) for each service
statement; and performance measures that tie specifical-ly
to the services provided in the fund or budget code.
The positions are those actually budgeted, not necessar-ily
those filled.
. For budget codes that do not begin with “ 1”, there are no adjustments to
the base budget except for transportation budget codes.

Glossary
Authorized budget. The certified budget plus revi-sions
delegated to the Office of State Budget and Man-agement
and to agencies by the State Budget Act ( G. S.
143C).
Base budget. That portion of the recommended op-erating
budget that maintains existing, authorized levels
of recurring services in agencies for a biennium. The
base budget, or continuation budget, is based on the
current year’s authorized budget and may be adjusted
for inflationary increases, annualization of programs,
reductions for nonrecurring programs, and adjustments
for receipts. The State Budget Act specifically mandates
that enrollment increases in public schools, commu-nity
colleges, and the university system be reflected in
the continuation budget submitted for the legislature’s
review.
Budget code. A five- digit number established for bud-getary
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 usually identify a state department or university
institution, except for the Department of Health and
Human Services, where the budget code identifies the
department’s divisions. 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
x
Certified budget. The budget as enacted by the
General Assembly, including adjustments made for ( 1)
distributions to state agencies from statewide reserves
appropriated by the General Assembly, ( 2) distributions
of reserves appropriated to a specific agency by the Gen-eral
Assembly, and ( 3) organizational or budget changes
directed by the legislature but left to the governor to
carry out.
Continuation budget. Another term for the base
budget.
Expansion budget. That portion of the recommended
operating budget that presents additional operating
funds for expansion of existing services or activities, in-cluding
inflationary costs for the state’s share of locally-operated
programs, new programs, or pilot projects;
proposals to change a statutorily- 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.
FTE ( full- time equivalent). FTE is the percentage of
time that a staff member works represented as a decimal.
A full- time position is 1.00, a half- time position is .50,
and a quarter- time position is .25.
Fund code. A four- character code that, with its parent
budget code, uniquely identifies the fund. Most bud-get
codes have multiple fund codes that may reflect a
department’s organizational structure and are created for
each division within a department and/ or for specific
programs or purposes of a division. Fund codes are
established as a result of authorization by the General
Assembly; changes in the accounting standards; autho-rizations
by OSBM; and/ or grant awards from federal,
state, local, or private agencies, or from individuals.
Fund description. A description of the purpose of the
programs, services, activities, or functions funded in the
fund code. It provides justification for the expenditure
of the funds.
Goal. A broad statement of what a department wants
to achieve over a long period of time. Goals explain how
an agency fulfills its mission.
Mission statement. A description of an organization’s
basic purpose ( its fundamental reason for being) that
specifies its major functional role and communicates its
values.
Performance measure. A quantitative characteriza-tion
of the quality of, need for, or impact of a service
provided, ideally to help determine whether a desired
outcome has been attained.
Recommended operating budget. Total of the base
budget and recommended expansions and reductions
submitted by the governor to the General Assembly for
a biennium beginning with an odd- numbered year, for
example, 2007- 09. The recommended operating budget
does not include the capital improvements budget,
which is found in the accompanying budget publica-tion
entitled, The North Carolina State Budget: Summary
of Recommendations. A Six- Year Capital Improvements
Plan that supports and explains all proposed capital
improvements is prepared as a separate document.
Service analysis. A description of the relationship
between an activity supported by a fund or budget code
and the dollars and personnel allocated to those activi-ties.
Service statement. A description of the set of specific
activities, lines of business, or work processes that are
funded by a particular budget code or fund code.

Quality Teachers, Quality Pay
1. Teacher and Administrator Compensation
Funds are recommended in the Compensation Reserve for
employees paid on the teacher salary schedule or the principal and
assistant principal salary schedule in schools operated by local
boards of education, the Department of Health and Human Services,
the Department of Correction, the Department of Juvenile Justice,
and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. These
funds will provide for movement on the salary schedule based on
years of experience, and will increase the salary schedule base by
$ 1,240. Teachers will receive an average increase of 5% and
administrators will receive an average increase of 4.44% in 2007- 08.
Employees at the top of their respective salary schedules and who
therefore do not receive a step increase shall be paid a one- time
bonus. The funds for this are shown in the reserves section of the
Summary of Recommendations document.
2. School- Based Incentive Awards Under the ABCs Program
The ABCs initiative directs that each year a school must assure that
students receive a year's worth of education for a year of instruction.
Nonrecurring funds in the amount of $ 70 million are recommended
for awards earned in the 2006- 07 school year and awarded in fall
2007. This recommended appropriation will maintain the current
incentive levels.
Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 70,000,000 -
Investing More Resources and Demanding More Accountability
1. Disadvantaged Student Supplemental Funding ( DSSF)
The Governor recommends a Disadvantaged Student Supplemental
Funding ( DSSF) appropriation increase of $ 18.9 million each year of
the 2007- 09 biennium. The 2006- 07 recurring appropriation allowed
for distribution to all local education agencies ( LEAs). The
recommended appropriation increases the current 2007- 08 budget
of $ 50,892,599. The recommended increase will support the
allotment of these funds to reduce the 2006- 07 ratio by 0.5. Funds
appropriated for Disadvantaged Student Supplemental Funding
( DSSF) for each year of the biennium shall be allotted based upon a
teacher to student ratio for the eligible DSSF population using the
following formula: ( 1) LEAs in counties with wealth greater than
ninety percent (> 90%) per the low wealth supplemental formula
shall receive one teaching position per 20 DSSF population; ( 2) LEAs
in counties with wealth between eighty and ninety percent (> 80%
and < 90%) shall receive one teaching position per 19.5 DSSF

Recommended Operating Budget, 2007- 09 Public Education
population; ( 3) LEAs in counties with less wealth than eighty percent
(< 80%) per the low wealth supplemental formula shall receive one
teaching position per 19 DSSF population; and ( 4) pilot LEAs that
received DSSF funds in 2005- 2006 shall continue to receive one
teaching position per 16 DSSF population. LEAs are encouraged to
reduce class size and/ or hire additional instructional support
personnel, such as counselors, social workers, and nurses.
Appropriation $ 18,931,676 $ 18,931,676
2. 21st Century Literacy Coaches
This recommended appropriation supports hiring an additional 100
school- based literacy coaches to be placed in middle schools ( or
other public schools with an eighth grade). This will bring the total
number of literacy coaches to 200 for the 2007- 08 school year.
Coaches will provide research- based teaching practices and job-embedded
professional development to assist teachers in the
development of curricula that enable students to develop mastery of
21st century skills.
Appropriation $ 5,704,400 $ 5,704,400
3. Consolidated Assistance Program
The Governor recommends appropriating funds to support the
consolidated assistance program in the Department of Public
Instruction that includes the LEA Assistance Program and
Turnaround Teams. These initiatives have historically been
supported with reversions from the State Public School Fund. A
recurring appropriation is necessary to ensure these services are
sufficiently funded and available on a continuing basis.
Appropriation $ 2,000,000 $ 2,000,000
4. More at Four
This appropriation expands the More at Four program by 10,000
slots in 2007- 08 and increases the per slot amount by $ 400. This will
result in 28,653 total available More at Four slots and a per slot
amount of $ 4,450. This appropriation will support operating costs of
$ 972,996, and $ 3 million dollars for a capacity enhancement fund.
This fund will be available to providers for renovations or the
purchase of modular units to alleviate existing space constraints. The
total increase for 2007- 08 is $ 59,334,196. In 2006- 07, the More at
Four program was transferred from the Department of Health and
Human Services to the Department of Public Instruction and is fully
funded with NC Education Lottery receipts.

Carolina at Greensboro is the first partnering university. The appropriation will
support enrollment in 12,000 community college online courses and 8,000
university online courses in 2007- 08, and 28,000 community college online
courses and 12,000 university online courses in 2008- 09. This recommended
appropriation also supports one Department of Public Instruction liaison
position to coordinate with the North Carolina Community College System, the
University of North Carolina and the NC Virtual Public Schools, and to be
responsible for communicating course availability and related information to
high school administrators, teachers, and counselors.

State Board of Education Initiatives
1. School Connectivity
The Governor recommends a recurring appropriation to provide '' last mile''
connectivity and sufficient bandwidth to schools to ensure that North Carolina
students have access to 21st century technology as an instructional tool. These
funds will support the cost of infrastructure enhancement, ongoing
maintenance, and eight support staff. Priority will be given to high schools to
ensure access to Learn and Earn Online courses, as well as schools in rural and
low wealth districts. The State Board of Education will determine the
implementation schedule. Six million dollars in nonrecurring funds were
appropriated in 2006- 07.

118 middle schools that do not currently have one. Currently 306 middle schools
have an SRO. Salary and benefit costs per SRO are $ 37,838. This appropriation will
ensure that all middle schools have at least one SRO.
Appropriation $ 4,464,884 $ 4,464,884
3. Military Child Education Coalition Workshops
The Governor recommends a recurring appropriation to support three Military
Child Education Coalition ( MCEC) workshops for teachers in each year of the
biennium. The coalition is a nonprofit organization that promotes partnerships
and provides networking opportunities for military installations and their
supporting school districts. The organization's focus is transition and other
educational issues related to the children of military families including active duty,
National Guard, and Reserves.
Appropriation $ 100,000 $ 100,000
4. Advanced Placement/ International Baccalaureate Fees
This recommended appropriation will support the cost of Advanced Placement
( AP) and International Baccalaureate ( IB) exam fees for low income students that
will be incurred by the Department of Public Instruction in August 2007. The
recommended appropriation is nonrecurring due to the anticipated receipt of a
federal grant to be used for this purpose in 2008- 09.
Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 250,000 -
5. Graduation Project
This recurring appropriation supports teacher training to assist in the full
implementation of the Graduation Project. The Graduation Project is a
performance- based component of the high school exit standards for students
entering the ninth grade in 2006- 07. The Graduation Project is developed,
monitored, and scored locally using state- adopted rubrics.

The North Carolina School Insurance Fund was first established in session law in 1949 ( Chapter 1182) and codified in 1955 in
Chapter 115C, Article 38. Both acts authorized the North Carolina State Board of Education to establish a division to manage
and operate an insurance fund for public school property to self insure the property assets of North Carolina Public Schools,
and to provide adequate reserves against insured losses. North Carolina Community Colleges have been allowed, and can
also elect, to participate in the Fund. The statute does not mandate the participation of public schools or community
colleges in the Fund but remains an equitable option to commercial insurance.

ensuring that the effective use of technology is built into the North Carolina School System for the purpose of preparing a
globally competitive workforce and citizenry for the 21st century. As directed by session law, the Alliance advises the State
Board of Education on a variety of issues related to education technology in the public schools and reports those
recommendations to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee in the General Assembly. Only federal and private
funds may be used to support the work of the Alliance.

Recommended Operating Budget, 2007- 09 Public Education
The University of North
Carolina
Mission
The University of North Carolina is a public, multi- campus university
dedicated to the service of North Carolina and its people. It encompasses
16 diverse constituent institutions and affiliated educational, research,
and public service organizations. Each shares in the overall mission of the
University. That mission is to discover, create, transmit, and apply
knowledge to address the needs of individuals and society. This mission
is accomplished through instruction, which communicates the
knowledge and values and imparts the skills necessary for individuals to
lead responsible, productive, and personally satisfying lives; through
research, scholarship, and creative activities, which advance knowledge
and enhance the educational process; and through public service, which
contributes to the solution of societal problems and enriches the quality
of life in the state. In the fulfillment of this mission, the University shall
seek an efficient use of available resources to ensure the highest quality
in its service to the citizens of the state.
Teaching and learning constitute the primary service that the University
renders to society. Teaching, or instruction, is the primary responsibility
of each of the constituent institutions. The relative importance of
research and public service, which enhance teaching and learning, varies
among the constituent institutions, depending on their overall missions.
Goals
Student Success: Access, Retention, Graduation, and Affordability
Promote and improve access, retention, and graduation levels, with
special attention to traditionally underrepresented segments of North
Carolina's population and the availability of distance education and
online degree programs. Ensure affordability for North Carolina residents
by keeping tuition and fees as low as practicable, while continuing to
expand need- based financial aid resources for low- income students.
31
An Outstanding Faculty: Attract and retain exceptional faculty/ scholars
through nationally competitive compensation and benefits, appropriate
support and faculty development for instructional and scholarly activities
( including startup funds to initiate research programs), effective policies
and procedures reflecting best practices in faculty evaluation and
governance, and recognition and rewards for outstanding performance
in all areas.
More and Better Teachers: Improved Schools. Expand efforts in teacher
preparation to increase the supply of well- qualified and more diverse
teachers, especially in high- need licensure areas, to serve the rapidly
growing needs of North Carolina's schools - using both traditional and
innovative approaches ( such as incentives to students, lateral- entry
programs, mid- career opportunities, e- learning and collaborative 2+ 2
programs with North Carolina Community Colleges) - while ensuring that
the quality of teacher preparation is maintained at the highest possible
level. Continue efforts to develop outstanding administrator preparation
and development programs. Provide support and leadership for
improving K- 12 schools.
Research: Promote creative activities and basic and applied research for
the discovery, dissemination, and application of new knowledge as a
fundamental mission of the University. Continue to expand the external
sponsorship of UNC research and other creative activities for students
and faculty. Ensure that a supportive environment with ample resources
exists to promote scholarship in the sciences, humanities, social sciences,
and the arts.
Quality Academic Programs and Support Services: Ensure the quality of
academic programs both on- campus and off- campus through regular
review and assessment of degree programs and instruction, and through
assessment of the quality of and student access to academic resources
and services ( e. g., academic advising, laboratories, IT) and student
support services ( e. g. admissions, financial aid, registrar, retention,
counseling) that promote student development, retention, and
graduation. Ensure appropriate and adequate library resources.
Regional and State- wide Economic Development: Respond to and
monitor the economic needs and directions of the State, paying
particular attention to the State's economic development regions.
Facilitate collaborative research and partnerships with industry,
government, and other entities to advance strategic priorities of great
importance to North Carolina. Enhance communities' attractiveness to
business and industry with a rich culture in the arts and humanities, good
health care, and strong schools.
Adequate Facilities: Ensure the timely and cost- effective construction and
renovation of facilities to accommodate current students and anticipated
enrollment growth with efficiency, fiscal accountability, and attention to
utilizing historically underrepresented businesses.
Health Care: Continue to develop academic programs as well as
collaborative strategies in support of critical areas of allied health,
nursing, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and related fields in response to
the needs of the State for health care providers.
32
Information Technology: Use the power of information technology
guided by strategic IT planning for more effective educational,
administrative, and business practices that will enable the University to
respond to the competitive global environment of the 21st Century.
Internationalization: Support and expand student and faculty
participation and exchange in international study by strategically
expanding agreements that provide opportunities for UNC students and
faculty, including underrepresented groups, to study abroad and for
international students to study on UNC campuses.
Partnership with Community Colleges: Strengthen partnerships with
community colleges to ensure continuous improvement in the academic
achievement of North Carolina's students, to promote student success in
higher education, and to help close gaps in student achievement.
Private Fundraising: Expand private fundraising to supplement the public
sources of revenue for the University.

additional preparation to be ready to enter the college environment for an
intensive, summer long academic program set on each respective campus. In
addition to residing on campus, students will be enrolling in courses for credit.
Funding is also recommended to assist campuses with programs designed for and
focused on improving retention and graduation rates. In 2007- 08, $ 430,000 is
recommended to implement retention and graduation plans developed at NCCU
and UNCP and to develop plans for the five other campuses ( ECSU, FSU, NC A& T,
WCU, and WSSU). In 2008- 09, $ 630,000 will be used to implement the plans
developed for these five campuses.

3. UNC- TV Statewide Programs
The Governor recommends full funding to support UNC- TV's statewide
programming of North Carolina Now, North Carolina Legislative Review, and
Legislative Week in Review. These three programs have an interconnected
operation and would receive the funds in a singular manner rather than dividing
them among the different programs. Funding would cover the costs of temporary
contract employees, access to the Associated Press newswire services, videotape
and other production media, statewide travel, production technology equipment
and software, and 11 new full time equivalent's ( FTE) salaries and benefits.
Appropriation $ 878,485 $ 878,485
Positions 11.000 11.000
4. Elizabeth City State University ( ECSU) Buses
The Governor recommends funding for one bus in 2007- 08 and another in 2008-
09 at Elizabeth City State University. The campus will use a nonrecurring $ 400,000
each year to purchase a bus for the travel needs of the university as well as to
assist in university related marketing and recruitment efforts.
Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 400,000 $ 400,000
5. Temporary Space for the Pharmacy Program at Elizabeth City State University
Nonrecurring funds are recommended for 2007- 08 and 2008- 09 for the lease costs
associated with the temporary space to house the new Pharmacy Program at
ECSU. In the 2006- 07 session, ECSU received nonrecurring funds of $ 43,000 to pay
for the lease until the OSBM Capital Section was able to obtain and review the
information necessary to determine whether funds were available within the
capital appropriation to pay for the lease costs. Based on the OSBM Capital
Section's review, the project has only $ 1.4 million in available funds to cover both
temporary facilities and project cost overruns. Due to high inflationary and energy
costs, the $ 1.4 million is anticipated for the cost overruns for the project.
Therefore, an appropriation is needed for the lease cost until the permanent
structure is completed.
Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 43,000 $ 43,000
6. North Carolina Central University Law School
The Governor recommends recurring funding of $ 2,342,000 for North Carolina
Central University's Law School. Of the entire amount, $ 1,573,000 is to implement
American Bar Association accreditation recommendations, which includes 22
positions in 2008- 09 for building student services' infrastructure. The remaining
$ 769,000 will replace Title III federal funding, which includes 30 positions that are
currently paid from Title III funds and would be paid from state funds under this
recommendation.

will be used for new employees' salary and benefits. Faculty will be hired in
bioengineering and other engineering departments.
Appropriation $ 5,000,000 $ 5,000,000
Positions 55.000 55.000
8. Distinguished Professor Endowment
A $ 1 million appropriation is recommended for the Distinguished Professor
Endowment. The Distinguished Professor Endowment trust fund was established
in 1985 by the General Assembly to provide each constituent institution the
opportunity to receive and match challenge grants to create endowments for
selected distinguished professors to occupy endowed chairs within the
university. The 2003 amendments to G. S. 116- 41 ( S. L. 2003- 293) changed the
ratios of funds provided by the state and private donations. Funds provided by
the state are matched with private donations on a one- to- two ratio for
constituent institutions other than focused growth institutions and special needs
institutions. Funds provided by the state are matched with private donations on
a one- to- one basis for focused growth institutions ( ECSU, FSU, NC A& T, NCCU,
UNCP, WCU, WSSU) and special needs institutions ( North Carolina School of the
Arts and UNC- Asheville). In 2004- 05, this program received $ 6 million in recurring
funds and $ 2 million in nonrecurring funds.
Appropriation $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000
9. North Carolina School of Science and Math Transportation Contract
The Governor recommends recurring funding of $ 25,000 to address
transportation contract cost increases for students at the North Carolina School
of Science and Math ( NCSSM). Transportation services are provided for NCSSM's
residential students who participate in the Mentorship Program at various
science and technical firms in the Research Triangle Park area. The Mentorship
Program is an academic course for seniors that provides a trimester long
internship of real world experience in science, mathematics, and technology. The
transportation service is necessary to offer the Mentorship academic course,
which is one of the most desired courses at NCSSM. It offers students a chance to
participate in an internship program that will help them decide on their college
major and career goals. The program includes approximately 40 seniors each
trimester. The transportation services requirements include three 15- passenger
minibuses two days a week and a 7- passenger van two days a week throughout
the school year. NCSSM has bid and rebid the contract but all of the responsible
bidders are $ 25,000 above the budgeted amount. The increased costs include
the significant increase in gasoline, high cost of vehicles that meet federal
standards to transport students, driver's salary on the part- time basis during the
year, maintenance, and repair costs of the vehicles.
Appropriation $ 25,000 $ 25,000

Recommended Operating Budget, 2007- 09 The University of North Carolina
10. UNC- Pembroke Modular Building Leases
Recurring funding is recommended for modular building leases
at UNCP. The modular buildings were originally leased
temporarily to provide academic and office space for displaced
students, faculty, and staff while renovation and construction
was occurring on existing and new buildings. However, the
growth at UNCP has already outpaced the renovations and
construction, and these modular buildings are still needed.

New results- based information Newly integrated with the budget details for each de-partment are mission statements, goals, fund descrip-tions, key services supported by each fund or budget code, costs of services in dollars and staff, and perfor-mance measures. These results- based budgeting ele-ments are intended to improve the reader’s understand-ing of why an agency exists, what the agency does, how much money its services cost, and how effective its services are. The inclusion of these results- based budget elements is the first step in a multiyear effort to pro-vide members of the North Carolina General Assembly and the public with expanded budget and operational information. Ultimately, this information is designed to improve funding, planning, and management deci-sions in state government. Line item details Line item base budget details for all budgeted budget codes and their component funds are available in a PDF file on the Web site of the Office of State Budget and Management, www. osbm. state. nc. us. Order of presentation, explanation of codes For publication of the recommended operating budget for state agencies, the various departments 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 Each volume is organized by department, by budget code, and then by fund code. Each department is as-signed a unique five- digit budget code or set of budget codes ( except for the Department of Health and Hu-man Services, which has a unique budget code for each of its divisions). Each budget code is further divided into four- character fund codes that represent a group of activities for accounting purposes. Within depart-ment budget codes, the recommended base budget is presented in order by fund code. Presentation of base budget and recom-mended adjustments The governor’s recommended operating budget is comprised of two distinct components: 1) the base budget, or continuation budget, which enables a department to continue existing services and activities at current levels, and 2) recommended adjustments to the base budget, which include new programs and expansions to current activities, as well as reductions and eliminations. The base budget combined with any recommended adjustments yields the recommended operating budget for the biennium. For each budget code in the General Fund that begins with “ 1”, summarized information shows recommend-ed appropriations and positions. Brief descriptions of recommended adjustments to the base budget are included with associated costs in dollars and positions. These costs are specified as recurring or nonrecurring. This section of information for the budget code is titled “ Governor’s Recommended Adjustments to Base Budget.” . For example, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources ( budget code 14300) has numerous fund codes corresponding to each of its programs. The budget for the Division of Marine Fisheries appears in three fund codes, one for each of its major activities, administration ( 14300- 1315), research ( 14300- 1320), and law enforcement ( 14300- 1325). ix Following the display of recommendations for adjust-ments to the base budget is a section for the budget code titled “ Base Budget and Results- Based Informa-tion.” This base budget section begins with graphs of expenditure and position histories that illustrate funding and staffing trends over the last several years. The graphs in the base budget section for each budget code are followed by a summary base budget table. The summary base budget table displays the requirements, receipts, appropriation, and positions for the following: Actual expenditures for FY 2005- 06 ( the most re-cent year for which actual information is available) Certified budget for FY 2006- 07 Authorized budget for FY 2006- 07 Allowable adjustments, such as inflationary increas-es, to the current authorized budget for each fiscal year of the 2007- 09 biennium Totals for each fiscal year of the 2007- 09 biennium Following the base budget table for a budget code is a display of base budget information for each fund within the budget code, in order by fund code. The presenta-tion for each fund begins with a base budget for the fund followed by a fund description that explains the major activities being funded. The structure for the fund’s base budget table is the same as that for its parent budget code. Results- based information presented with base budget To explain and justify the expenditure of state taxpayers’ money, agencies have prepared supporting results- based information, which is developed at either the budget code level or the fund level. This information includes service statements that describe the lines of business, business processes, or set of activities supported by the fund or budget code; actual requirements ( expenditures) and personnel requirements ( FTEs) for each service statement; and performance measures that tie specifical-ly to the services provided in the fund or budget code. The positions are those actually budgeted, not necessar-ily those filled. . For budget codes that do not begin with “ 1”, there are no adjustments to the base budget except for transportation budget codes. • ••• • Further information Questions about The North Carolina State Budget: Rec-ommended Operating Budget with Results- Based Informa-tion, 2007- 2009 or requests for further information may be directed to the Office of State Budget and Manage-ment, 20320 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699- 0320, or telephone ( 919) 807- 4700.

The certified budget plus revi-sions delegated to the Office of State Budget and Man-agement and to agencies by the State Budget Act ( G. S. 143C). Base budget. That portion of the recommended op-erating budget that maintains existing, authorized levels of recurring services in agencies for a biennium. The base budget, or continuation budget, is based on the current year’s authorized budget and may be adjusted for inflationary increases, annualization of programs, reductions for nonrecurring programs, and adjustments for receipts. The State Budget Act specifically mandates that enrollment increases in public schools, commu-nity colleges, and the university system be reflected in the continuation budget submitted for the legislature’s review. Budget code. A five- digit number established for bud-getary 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 usually identify a state department or university institution, except for the Department of Health and Human Services, where the budget code identifies the department’s divisions. 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 x Certified budget. The budget as enacted by the General Assembly, including adjustments made for ( 1) distributions to state agencies from statewide reserves appropriated by the General Assembly, ( 2) distributions of reserves appropriated to a specific agency by the Gen-eral Assembly, and ( 3) organizational or budget changes directed by the legislature but left to the governor to carry out. Continuation budget. Another term for the base budget. Expansion budget. That portion of the recommended operating budget that presents additional operating funds for expansion of existing services or activities, in-cluding inflationary costs for the state’s share of locally-operated programs, new programs, or pilot projects; proposals to change a statutorily- 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. FTE ( full- time equivalent). FTE is the percentage of time that a staff member works represented as a decimal. A full- time position is 1.00, a half- time position is .50, and a quarter- time position is .25. Fund code. A four- character code that, with its parent budget code, uniquely identifies the fund. Most bud-get codes have multiple fund codes that may reflect a department’s organizational structure and are created for each division within a department and/ or for specific programs or purposes of a division. Fund codes are established as a result of authorization by the General Assembly; changes in the accounting standards; autho-rizations by OSBM; and/ or grant awards from federal, state, local, or private agencies, or from individuals. Fund description. A description of the purpose of the programs, services, activities, or functions funded in the fund code. It provides justification for the expenditure of the funds. Goal. A broad statement of what a department wants to achieve over a long period of time. Goals explain how an agency fulfills its mission. Mission statement. A description of an organization’s basic purpose ( its fundamental reason for being) that specifies its major functional role and communicates its values. Performance measure. A quantitative characteriza-tion of the quality of, need for, or impact of a service provided, ideally to help determine whether a desired outcome has been attained. Recommended operating budget. Total of the base budget and recommended expansions and reductions submitted by the governor to the General Assembly for a biennium beginning with an odd- numbered year, for example, 2007- 09. The recommended operating budget does not include the capital improvements budget, which is found in the accompanying budget publica-tion entitled, The North Carolina State Budget: Summary of Recommendations. A Six- Year Capital Improvements Plan that supports and explains all proposed capital improvements is prepared as a separate document. Service analysis. A description of the relationship between an activity supported by a fund or budget code and the dollars and personnel allocated to those activi-ties. Service statement. A description of the set of specific activities, lines of business, or work processes that are funded by a particular budget code or fund code. xi Public Education Mission The guiding mission of the North Carolina State Board of Education is that every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century.

It encompasses 16 diverse constituent institutions and affiliated educational, research, and public service organizations. Each shares in the overall mission of the University. That mission is to discover, create, transmit, and apply knowledge to address the needs of individuals and society. This mission is accomplished through instruction, which communicates the knowledge and values and imparts the skills necessary for individuals to lead responsible, productive, and personally satisfying lives; through research, scholarship, and creative activities, which advance knowledge and enhance the educational process; and through public service, which contributes to the solution of societal problems and enriches the quality of life in the state. In the fulfillment of this mission, the University shall seek an efficient use of available resources to ensure the highest quality in its service to the citizens of the state. Teaching and learning constitute the primary service that the University renders to society. Teaching, or instruction, is the primary responsibility of each of the constituent institutions. The relative importance of research and public service, which enhance teaching and learning, varies among the constituent institutions, depending on their overall missions. Goals Student Success: Access, Retention, Graduation, and Affordability Promote and improve access, retention, and graduation levels, with special attention to traditionally underrepresented segments of North Carolina's population and the availability of distance education and online degree programs. Ensure affordability for North Carolina residents by keeping tuition and fees as low as practicable, while continuing to expand need- based financial aid resources for low- income students. 31 An Outstanding Faculty: Attract and retain exceptional faculty/ scholars through nationally competitive compensation and benefits, appropriate support and faculty development for instructional and scholarly activities ( including startup funds to initiate research programs), effective policies and procedures reflecting best practices in faculty evaluation and governance, and recognition and rewards for outstanding performance in all areas. More and Better Teachers: Improved Schools.

Appropriation $ 2,180,000 $ 3,060,000 38 Recommended Operating Budget, 2007- 09 The University of North Carolina 3. UNC- TV Statewide Programs The Governor recommends full funding to support UNC- TV's statewide programming of North Carolina Now, North Carolina Legislative Review, and Legislative Week in Review. These three programs have an interconnected operation and would receive the funds in a singular manner rather than dividing them among the different programs. Funding would cover the costs of temporary contract employees, access to the Associated Press newswire services, videotape and other production media, statewide travel, production technology equipment and software, and 11 new full time equivalent's ( FTE) salaries and benefits. Appropriation $ 878,485 $ 878,485 Positions 11.000 11.000 4. Elizabeth City State University ( ECSU) Buses The Governor recommends funding for one bus in 2007- 08 and another in 2008- 09 at Elizabeth City State University. The campus will use a nonrecurring $ 400,000 each year to purchase a bus for the travel needs of the university as well as to assist in university related marketing and recruitment efforts. Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 400,000 $ 400,000 5. Temporary Space for the Pharmacy Program at Elizabeth City State University Nonrecurring funds are recommended for 2007- 08 and 2008- 09 for the lease costs associated with the temporary space to house the new Pharmacy Program at ECSU. In the 2006- 07 session, ECSU received nonrecurring funds of $ 43,000 to pay for the lease until the OSBM Capital Section was able to obtain and review the information necessary to determine whether funds were available within the capital appropriation to pay for the lease costs. Based on the OSBM Capital Section's review, the project has only $ 1.4 million in available funds to cover both temporary facilities and project cost overruns. Due to high inflationary and energy costs, the $ 1.4 million is anticipated for the cost overruns for the project. Therefore, an appropriation is needed for the lease cost until the permanent structure is completed. Appropriation - Nonrecurring $ 43,000 $ 43,000 6. North Carolina Central University Law School The Governor recommends recurring funding of $ 2,342,000 for North Carolina Central University's Law School.

Distinguished Professor Endowment A $ 1 million appropriation is recommended for the Distinguished Professor Endowment. The Distinguished Professor Endowment trust fund was established in 1985 by the General Assembly to provide each constituent institution the opportunity to receive and match challenge grants to create endowments for selected distinguished professors to occupy endowed chairs within the university. The 2003 amendments to G. S. 116- 41 ( S. L. 2003- 293) changed the ratios of funds provided by the state and private donations. Funds provided by the state are matched with private donations on a one- to- two ratio for constituent institutions other than focused growth institutions and special needs institutions. Funds provided by the state are matched with private donations on a one- to- one basis for focused growth institutions ( ECSU, FSU, NC A& T, NCCU, UNCP, WCU, WSSU) and special needs institutions ( North Carolina School of the Arts and UNC- Asheville). In 2004- 05, this program received $ 6 million in recurring funds and $ 2 million in nonrecurring funds. Appropriation $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 9. North Carolina School of Science and Math Transportation Contract The Governor recommends recurring funding of $ 25,000 to address transportation contract cost increases for students at the North Carolina School of Science and Math ( NCSSM). Transportation services are provided for NCSSM's residential students who participate in the Mentorship Program at various science and technical firms in the Research Triangle Park area. The Mentorship Program is an academic course for seniors that provides a trimester long internship of real world experience in science, mathematics, and technology. The transportation service is necessary to offer the Mentorship academic course, which is one of the most desired courses at NCSSM. It offers students a chance to participate in an internship program that will help them decide on their college major and career goals. The program includes approximately 40 seniors each trimester. The transportation services requirements include three 15- passenger minibuses two days a week and a 7- passenger van two days a week throughout the school year. NCSSM has bid and rebid the contract but all of the responsible bidders are $ 25,000 above the budgeted amount. The increased costs include the significant increase in gasoline, high cost of vehicles that meet federal standards to transport students, driver's salary on the part- time basis during the year, maintenance, and repair costs of the vehicles. Appropriation $ 25,000 $ 25,000 40 Recommended Operating Budget, 2007- 09 The University of North Carolina 10. UNC- Pembroke Modular Building Leases Recurring funding is recommended for modular building leases at UNCP. The modular buildings were originally leased temporarily to provide academic and office space for displaced students, faculty, and staff while renovation and construction was occurring on existing and new buildings. However, the growth at UNCP has already outpaced the renovations and construction, and these modular buildings are still needed.
