SENATE BILL NO. 225
AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1
AND SENATE, AMENDMENT NO. 1
AN ACT MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION TO THE DIVISION OF CENTRAL DATA PROCESSING DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FOR OPERATIONAL COSTS.
WHEREAS, data processing units must develop their operational plans and budgets to provide the services contemplated to be required by their user clients well in advance in order that hardware, software, supplies and staff are on hand to meet the requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Central Data Processing is no exception, its planned operational and budget requirements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, amounted to $2,366,200 of which $1,269,922 was funded in the General Fund Budget for fiscal 1973, the balance was expected to be forthcoming from Special Funds (Federal, etc.) via the following agencies and programs:
Department of Health & Social Services $ 240,000
Department of Labor 260,000
Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control 20,000
Department of Public Instruction 30,000
Department of Public Safety
(CLUES & ASAP) 165,000
Department of Administrative Services
(Purchasing) 6,000
Division of Highways 200,000
Division of Motor Vehicles 88,000
State Planning Office 30,000
Miscellaneous Special Programs 57,278
TOTAL $1,096,278
WHEREAS, the ever present uncertainties involved in projecting federal funding for special programs resulted in the failure to collect some of such funds and the late cancellation of some of the programs, the Division of Central Data Processing finds itself seriously short of funds required to maintain operations for the balance of fiscal 1973, having collected only $135,000 to date of such anticipated special fundings, necessitating retrenchment in their original planned budget in the amount of approximately $500,000; and
WHEREAS, further retrenchment would completely emasculate its operational capability.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. There is hereby appropriated to the Division of Central Data Processing, Department of Administrative Services, the amount of $432,000 which amount shall be allocated to the following categories of expense:
