Budget Highlights

The Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) supports a military force ready to respond to civil emergencies and natural disasters at the call of the Governor. National Guard troops are also available for national service at the call of the President. DMNA General Fund spending primarily covers the administration and operational expenses of the State's 59 armories and an estimated 16,400 New York based National Guard troops. DMNA is also charged, through the State Emergency Management Office, with the coordination of the State's response to natural and man- made disasters.

This agency is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill.

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $134,756,000, which reflects a net decrease of $244,044,000 over State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-4 levels. This appropriation reflects a decrease of $1,239,000 in State Operations funding and a decrease of $248,205,000 in Aid to Localities and an increase of $5,400,000 in Capital Projects funding.

State Operations

The Governor proposes a General Fund appropriation of $16,219,000 for SFY 2004-05, representing a net decrease of $519,000 from SFY 2003-04. This decrease reflects the following actions:

a $441,000 net decrease to reflect adjustments including: a $346,000 increase associated with operating the military museum in Saratoga, a $75,000 increase to continue restoration work at the Rochester Culver Road armory, a $865,000 decrease reflecting personal service (PS) adjustments, and a $3,000 increase to cover other agency fixed costs;

a $1,126,000 increase to offset rental income not realized by the Park Avenue Armory;

a $252,000 decrease to reflect additional savings achieved through an extension of the hiatus of the Division's Challenge Program for at-risk youth;

a $200,000 decrease to reflect savings to the General Fund due to increased federal support of army and national guard non-personal service (NPS); and

a $752,000 decrease to reflect a shift of costs from the General Fund to Special Revenue Funds – Other due to an increase in the fee for the Radiological Emergency Management Preparedness Program.

Aid To Localities

The Executive recommends a General Fund reappropriation of $60,000,000 and a reappropriation of $200,000,000 in Special Revenue Funds-Federal for disaster assistance efforts including costs incurred by State and local agencies responding to natural and man made crises.

The Executive recommends appropriations of $23,495,000 in Special Revenue Funds-Federal, which includes an increase of $11,895,000 for the Emergency Management Preparedness Program. The Executive also recommends a $2,850,000 in Special Revenue Funds-Other appropriation representing no change from SFY 2003-04. Fees generated under the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program are deposited into this Fund.

The Executive eliminates $100,000 in Legislative initiatives from SFY 2003-04.

Capital Projects

The Executive recommends Capital Projects appropriations of $46,000,000, reflecting a $5,400,000 increase in funding from SFY 2003-04. The appropriations provide State and Federal support for a multi-year Federal military construction plan to replace or expand armories and equipment maintenance facilities across the State. These funds will also support the continuation of the Division’s maintenance and rehabilitation projects at armories across the State.

Article VII

The Executive proposes an increase in fees paid by nuclear generating facility operators, which will generate additional support for the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.
