                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 389-392)

The Office for Technology (OFT) was originally established in 1996 as
a task force operating under the auspices of the Governor's Director
of State Operations.  In 1997, the Legislature created the Office for
Technology with the statutory responsibility for the development of
the State's technology resources and policies.  At that time,
permanent staff assigned to OFT numbered less than 20. Current
authorized staffing is now 637.  The OFT continues to be one of the
fastest growing agencies in State Government.

State Operations

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $232,900,000,
an increase of $13,032,400 or 5.9 percent over State Fiscal Year 2001-
02.  This includes a General Fund appropriation of $51,000,000,
representing a decrease of $4,883,000 or 8.7 percent over SFY 2001-02. 
This reduction is primarily due to a scheduled reduction in
Certificate of Participation (COPS) payments.

The Executive also recommends an Internal Service Fund appropriation
of $181,900,000, an increase of $17,915,400 or 10.9 percent over SFY
2001-02.  Changes in appropriations over SFY 2001-02 reflect increases
in the following appropriations:

--     $98,000,000 for operation of the consolidated Data Center, an
       increase of $4,815,000.
  
--     $29,900,000 for the operation of the New York State Intranet
       (NYeNet), an increase of $13,100,400.  The majority of this
       increase reflects the annualization of costs associated with
       the planned migration of agencies from Empire Net.
