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 depart-ment
is assigned a unique five-digit budget code
or set of budget codes (except for the Depart-ment
of Health and Human 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.1 Within budget codes, the
recommended base budget is presented in order
by fund code. For budget code 14300, Department
of Environmental and Natural Resources, funds are
presented within each division.
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 activi-ties,
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” and for budget codes in Trans-portation,
Reserves and Transfers, and Capital
Improvements, summarized information shows
recommended changes to the base budget’s ap-propriations
and positions. Brief descriptions of
1. 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).
Introduction
Operating budget by department
The North Carolina State Budget: Recommended
Operating Budget with Performance Management
Information, 2009-2011 is a six-volume document
that details Governor Perdue’s recommended
fiscal plan for the budgets of each department in
the State of North Carolina for the upcoming bien-nium.
Performance management information
Integrated with the budget details for each
department are mission statements, goals, strate-gies,
fund descriptions, key services supported
by each fund, costs of services in dollars and staff,
and performance measures. These performance
management elements are intended to improve
the reader’s understanding of why an agency ex-ists,
what the agency does, how much money its
services cost, and how effective its services are.
The inclusion of these elements is part of the effort
to provide members of the North Carolina General
Assembly and the public with expanded budget
and operational information. Ultimately, this infor-mation
is designed to improve funding, planning,
and management decisions in state government.
Line item details
Line item base budget details for all budgeted
budget codes and their component funds are
available in PDF files 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, the various departments are grouped by
function within the following volumes:
Volume 1: Education
Volume 2: General Government
Volume 3: Health and Human Services
x
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 Recom-mended
Adjustments to Base Budget.”
Following the display of recommendations for
adjustments to the base budget2 is a section for
the budget code titled “Base Budget and Perfor-mance
Management Information.” This base bud-get
section begins with graphs of expenditure
and position histories that illustrate funding and
staffing trends over the last several years.
The graphs are followed by a summary base
budget table. The summary base budget table
displays the requirements, receipts, appropria-tion,
and positions for the following:
• Actual expenditures for FY 2007-08 (the most
recent year for which actual information is
available)
• Certified budget for FY 2008-09
• Authorized budget for FY 2008-09
• Allowable adjustments, such as inflationary
increases, to the current authorized budget
for each fiscal year of the 2009-11 biennium
• Totals for each fiscal year of the 2009-11
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 presentation for each fund begins
with a base budget for the fund followed by a
fund description that explains the major activi-ties
being funded.
Performance management information
presented with base budget
To explain and justify the expenditure of state
taxpayers’ money, agencies have prepared sup-porting
performance management information.
This information includes service statements; ac-tual
requirements (expenditures) and personnel
requirements (FTEs) for each service statement;
and performance measures that tie specifically to

to the base budget except for transportation budget codes.

are those actually budgeted, not necessarily
those filled.

Glossary
Agency Indicators. Quantifiable measures that
reflect outcomes critical to an agency’s suc-cess.
These indicators ideally help to determine
whether an agency is making progress towards
its goals and fulfilling its mission.
Authorized budget. The certified budget plus
revisions delegated to the Office of State Budget
and Management and to agencies by the State
Budget Act (G.S. 143C).
Base budget. That portion of the recommended
operating budget that maintains existing, autho-rized
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 man-dates
that enrollment increases in public schools,
community colleges, and the university system
be reflected in the continuation budget submit-ted
for the legislature’s review.
Budget code. A five-digit number established
for budgetary reporting. This number generally
identifies major fund types and the responsible
entity for reporting. The first digit is the fund
type. Budget codes are established for the fol-lowing
fund types:
xi
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
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 appropri-ated
to a specific agency by the General Assem-bly,
and (3) organizational or budget changes
directed by the legislature but left to the gover-nor
to carry out.
Continuation budget. Another term for the
base budget.
Expansion budget. That portion of the recom-mended
operating budget that presents addi-tional
operating funds for expansion of existing
services or activities, including inflationary costs
for the state’s share of locally-operated programs,
new programs, or pilot projects; proposals to
change a statutorily-controlled program by redi-recting
funds from one program to another; one-time
major equipment purchases; and continued
phase-in of new programs initiated in a previous
biennium.
FTE (full-time equivalent). FTE is the percent-age
of time that a staff member works represent-ed
as a decimal.
Fund code. A four-character code that, with its
parent budget code, uniquely identifies the fund.
Most budget 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 estab-lished
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.
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 organi-zation’s
basic purpose (its fundamental reason
for being) that specifies its major functional role
and communicates its values.
Performance measure. A quantitative charac-terization
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, 2009-11.
The six budget volumes described previously do
not include the capital improvements budget,
which is found in the accompanying budget
publication entitled, The North Carolina State
Budget: Summary of Recommendations. Also, a
Six-Year Capital Improvements Plan that sup-ports
and explains all proposed capital improve-ments
is prepared as a separate document.
Service analysis. A description of the relation-ship
between an activity supported by a fund
or budget code and the dollars and personnel
allocated to those activities.
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.
Strategies. Actions the agency will take over the
next few years in order to make progress toward
achieving identified goals. Strategies serve as
a foundation for decisions regarding budget
expansions and reductions, resource allocations,
and operational changes.

Department-Wide
1. Truth-in-Budgeting Reform (Budget Salaries at Less than 100%)
The Governor recommends budgetary reform by reducing the
budgeted salaries to more closely match the actual salary expenditures.
Budget line items which normally use lapsed salaries for the agency's
operation were increased in the continuation budget. These changes
along with budget flexibility will allow the agency to operate more
efficiently. General Fund salaries for the Administrative Office of the
Courts are recommended to be reduced by 4%.
Appropriation ($14,450,384) ($14,450,384)
2. Reduce Various Operating Accounts
It is recommended that various operating accounts be reduced on a
recurring basis for Supplies ($150,000), Employee Educational
Assistance ($50,000), Registration Fees ($100,000), Travel ($150,000),
and Equipment ($500,000).

A recommendation is made to freeze the step increases for the salaries
of Magistrates and Clerks for FY 2009-10 only.
Appropriation - Nonrecurring ($1,466,541) ($884,043)
2. Reduce Dispute Resolution Center Funding
It is recommended that all dispute resolution center pass-through
funding be reduced by 7%.
Appropriation ($111,952) ($111,952)

2. Reduce Pass-Through Funding to the North Carolina State Bar
In FY 2008-09, $200,000 was appropriated on a recurring basis for the
North Carolina State Bar to provide $100,000 to the Land Loss
Prevention Project and $100,000 to the Financial Protection Law
Center for the purpose of assisting low income homeowners.
However, similar services are currently being provided through Civil
Justice Act programs, the Banking Commission, and the Housing
Finance Agency. It is recommended that this $200,000 appropriation
be eliminated given the similarity in services being provided by other
agencies. It is also recommended that pass-through funding to the
North Carolina State Bar for the Civil Justice Act be reduced by 7%
($70,000 R).

The Governor reports on the use of funding of up to $750,000 to be
made available through the American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act (Byrne/JAG Formula Program) for evaluation of court processes
and procedures and developing best practices for effective
programs. In addition, this funding will support continuing
education and basic systems training for court professionals and
those who interface with court systems. Training is especially critical
to ensure the timely implementation of NCAWARE, a statewide
warrant repository. The allocation of this funding will be made
under the authority of the Governor's Crime Commission, the state
administrator of the Byrne/JAG Formula Program.

Fund description
This is the fund for the Appellate Division, which includes the North Carolina Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Judicial Standards
Commission, and Innocence Inquiry Commission.
Supreme Court
The North Carolina Supreme Court has authority to prescribe the rules of practice and procedure for the appellate and trial court
divisions, and to promulgate the yearly schedule of superior court sessions. The appellate jurisdiction includes cases on appeal
by right from the Court of Appeals, cases on appeal by right from the Utilities Commission, criminal cases on appeal by right from
the superior courts (first degree murder in which the defendant has been sentenced to death), and cases in which review has
been granted in the Supreme Court's discretion. The only original case jurisdiction exercised by the Supreme Court is in the
censure and removal of judges upon the non-binding recommendations of the Judicial Standards Commission.
Court of Appeals
The Court of Appeals provides appellate review for all civil appeals from the district courts and for civil and criminal appeals from
the superior courts, except for those cases that come within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. In addition, the
Court of Appeals provides appellate review of the decisions of certain administrative agencies.
Judicial Standards Commission
The Judicial Standards Commission investigates complaints or issues pertaining to justices or judges. The Commission makes
findings (where appropriate) and recommendations to the Supreme Court for censure or removal of a judge.
Innocence Inquiry Commission
The North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission investigates and conducts inquiries to determine credible claims of factual
innocence, with priority given to cases in which the convicted person is currently incarcerated solely for the crime for which he or
she claims factual innocence.

Fund description
This fund is for the Trial Court, which includes the following functions:
Superior Court
The Superior Court has original jurisdiction in the trial of all cases seeking the death penalty and other felonies and is the proper
court for all civil cases where the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000. The Superior Court conducts new trials in
misdemeanor cases tried in and appealed from district court; conducts hearings on post-conviction and habeas corpus petitions;
hears appeals from most administrative agency decisions; and handles other pre-trial and post-trial matters.
District Court
The District Court handles trials and hearings in misdemeanor and infraction cases, civil cases up to $10,000, and all juvenile and
domestic cases. It also provides hearings in judicial hospitalization matters and preliminary ''probable cause'' hearings in felony
cases. In addition, the District Court has jurisdiction to accept guilty pleas in certain felony cases.
Family Courts
Family courts coordinate all case management and service agency efforts for a single family in distress to better serve that family
and provide more consistent and efficient use of trial court time.
Office of the Clerk of Superior Court
The North Carolina Constitution provides for a clerk of superior court for each of the 100 counties with the duties and authorities
prescribed by the General Assembly. The clerk is ex officio judge of probate and exercises judicial powers in special proceedings
and administration of trusts and guardianships. The clerk also performs various administrative duties for both the superior and
district courts of the county.
Guardian ad Litem
Pursuant to G.S. 7B-12, the Guardian ad Litem program provides trained independent advocates statewide to represent and
promote the best interests of abused, neglected, and dependent children in the state court system and to work towards a plan
that ensures that these children are in a safe, permanent home.
Child Custody and Visitation Mediation
The Child Custody and Visitation Mediation program is responsible for mediation of contested issues whenever a petition for an
order of custody or visitation of a child (or modification of such an order) is contested in a jurisdiction where this program is
implemented.
Dispute Resolution Commission
The North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission is principally responsible for certifying and regulating the conduct of
mediators and mediation training programs serving the statewide Mediated Settlement Conferences program. The Commission
is also charged with certifying and regulating the conduct of mediators for equitable distribution, alimony, child support, and
post separation support actions through the Family Financial Settlement program.
Court-Ordered Arbitration
Pursuant to G.S. 7A-37.1, all civil actions in which claims do not exceed $15,000 are subject to court-ordered arbitration in
accordance with rules promulgated by the North Carolina Supreme Court. Court-ordered, non-binding arbitration is designed to
be a more economical, efficient, and satisfactory procedure to resolve certain civil actions.
Dispute Settlement Centers
Funds are passed through from the Trial Court fund to Dispute Settlement Centers, which are organized to resolve disputes
among citizens through mediation.
Drug Treatment Court
The Drug Treatment Court program uses a team of court and community professionals to help ensure that alcohol and/or drug
addicted offenders receive the intensive treatment they need to become healthy, law-abiding, and productive family and
community members.

1. Truth-in-Budgeting Reform (Budget Salaries at Less than 100%)
The Governor recommends budgetary reform by reducing the budgeted
salaries to more closely match the actual salary expenditures. Budget line items
which normally use lapsed salaries for the agency's operation were increased
in the continuation budget. These changes along with budget flexibility will
allow the agency to operate more efficiently. General Fund salaries for the
Office of Indigent Defense Services are recommended to be reduced by 6%.

Department-Wide
1. Truth-in-Budgeting Reform (Budget Salaries at Less than 100%)
The Governor recommends budgetary reform by reducing the
budgeted salaries to more closely match the actual salary expenditures.
Budget line items which normally use lapsed salaries for the agency's
operation were increased in the continuation budget. These changes
along with budget flexibility will allow the agency to operate more
efficiently. General Fund salaries for the Department of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention are recommended to be reduced by 5%.
Appropriation ($4,990,560) ($4,990,560)
2. Eliminate Seven Central Office Positions
It is recommended that seven central office positions be eliminated.
