FY99H1A Budget Recommendations
The Executive Office for Administration and Finance
oversees the fiscal and administrative activities of the Executive
Branch of state government. The Executive Office ensures the
financial stability of state government by managing balanced operating
and capital budgets.
The Office of the Secretary manages reserve accounts
for unemployment health insurance payments for state and local
employees, and provides subsidy payments to the Massachusetts
Convention Center Authority, the Massachusetts Corporation for
Educational Telecommunications, and the Massachusetts Information
Technology Center. The Office of the Secretary also manages the
reserve account for incentive payments to agencies participating
in revenue optimization projects.
Through its four administrative services divisions,
(the Information Technology Division, the Fiscal Affairs Division,
the Operational Services Division, and the Human Resources Division),
the Office of the Secretary enables line agencies to focus their
energy on program development and delivering quality services
to the Commonwealth. To that end, the Office provides line agencies
with centralized expertise and processing in the technical support
areas of information technology, fiscal policy, procurement, and
human resources.
Other major functional areas under the supervision
of the Office of the Secretary are: tax collection, child support
enforcement, support to local municipalities, group insurance
evaluation, state facilities construction, management and maintenance,
and veteran services. Also located within the Office of the Secretary
is the Central Business Office (CBO). The CBO provides central
administrative services to Executive Office for Administration
and Finance agencies, which allows those agencies to focus more
resources on their core service delivery areas.
Objectives
In Fiscal Year 1999, the Office of the Secretary
will:
- continue its efforts to streamline government
operations by reducing unnecessary or duplicative regulations;
- transfer the functions of the abolished Hampden
and Worcester county governments to the Commonwealth;
- establish a procurement center to assist small
businesses in obtaining contracts with the U.S. Department of
Defense, federal, state, and local government;
- initiate long overdue renovations to the Saltonstall
state office building and support the relocation of occupant agencies;
- improve the quality and timely completion of
the Commonwealth's construction projects through the efforts of
the Construction Reform Task Force; and
- work with the Office of the Treasurer to implement
the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel financing plan and to provide
additional sewer and water financing assistance to cities, towns,
and ratepayers.
Budget Recommendation
The amount recommended for Fiscal Year 1999 will
enable the Executive Office to achieve its missions as outlined
above, including $41.26 million to support municipal water and
sewer improvement projects.
