Maximum amounts of additional cuts to meet 15 16 targets..if FY 14 cuts aresustained, additional action may not be needed. personnel reduced for 12 momths, can assume will not come back in FY 14 or 15. some items require objectivity. UW is not under state system. Nothing binding them to their submitted plan. Example of scholarships. 2:28:57 ~ 1/16/2013 5:36:12 PM ~ Richards: dept of health 19 million, technically any cuts in FY 14 do not count. Green piece of pie agreement. EX: Dept of corrections. numbers can not be doubled in the next bienium. ex: facility community program. personnel, travel untouched. 2:31:06 ~ 1/16/2013 5:38:22 PM ~ Richards: Having different opinions is not good for the process, have done so reluctantly and with some cavets. 2:31:40 ~ 1/16/2013 5:38:56 PM ~ Harshman: Like the format of the original chart. 2:31:58 ~ 1/16/2013 5:39:14 PM ~ Jones: Terminology differences. Example = recurring. in 15-16 std budget will be less. Bienialized, recurring definitions. Biennializing reductions. reduction governor arrived at, biennial component, 8% calculation GF std budget..156 million total is based on mathematics, not on assumptions. Recognition of defined dollar amount. will update the spreadsheet as action occurs. 2:36:17 ~ 1/16/2013 5:43:32 PM ~ Moniz: Gov choose not to use 8% cut then he assumed they would havd to take more the following year. 2:36:40 ~ 1/16/2013 5:43:56 PM ~ Jones: yes that is a clear understanding. 2:36:47 ~ 1/16/2013 5:44:02 PM ~ Stubson: UW example..again. 2:37:09 ~ 1/16/2013 5:44:25 PM ~ richards: UW ramping up budget reductions through closure of vacancies and reduction of spending in other areas.

Gov lowered target for 2014. 2:39:05 ~ 1/16/2013 5:46:20 PM ~ Meier: Dept of health - Forslund's testimony - Give dept of health their 8% target but limit it to no more than 25% per program. brings them back to position before increase given in past. Pressure we get is from consituancies so maybe all money ends up back in budget on teh floor. Need something to defend. 2:41:46 ~ 1/16/2013 5:49:01 PM ~ Jones: Part of purpose of chart is to show you the hill defined. In terms of eliminatino of specifc programs or reduction in force, the 15-16 cuts . IN my opinon you will see programs and people. Eliminate entire programs. EX: AandI - Significant number of positions from A and I. 2:43:49 ~ 1/16/2013 5:51:04 PM ~ Meier: not suggesting statutory language. politically it makes sense. When cutting people, tendency to cut outlying service districts, customer service. Work as hard as you can to ask what purpose of program is, how can we sustain it, 2:45:16 ~ 1/16/2013 5:52:31 PM ~ Moniz: Rather than make a blanket 8% cut to every dept, why not take a broader look at the state budget. Maybe some depts could sustain greater than 8%. As long as the bottom line remained the same. 2:46:09 ~ 1/16/2013 5:53:24 PM ~ Jones: Greater than 8% cut. Gov in context of reviewing what he did, shied away from across the board reductions. made distinctions. Moving outside the 8%, not fully considered. 2:47:16 ~ 1/16/2013 5:54:31 PM ~ BIll Mai: I think Governor was extremely thoughtful in this process, tried to minimize impact to people of the state. Govenor went through detailed sheets of what was proposed to him. Percentages of cuts per agency. Gov did go through that.
