FROM:	Theresa E. Savo
COMMITTEE:	Full Board
TITLE OF ITEM:	State Education Department March 2004 Fiscal Report
DATE OF SUBMISSION:	April 5, 2004
PROPOSED HANDLING:	Acceptance
RATIONALE FOR ITEM:	Acceptance of March 2004 Fiscal Report
STRATEGIC GOAL:	Goal 5
AUTHORIZATION(S):

 

SUMMARY:

 

The March 2004 Fiscal Report is attached for your review, discussion and acceptance.  We have received no USNY grants since the last Fiscal Report.

 

The March report is the final report for the 2003-04 State fiscal year.   Under tight spending controls, the Department ended the year within earlier projections.

 

·        General Fund – Our general fund accounts are in structural balance.

·        Special Revenue – All revenue accounts are in balance (allowing for normal reimbursement delays and the planned use of prior year balances) except for the Office of the Professions account where the imbalance this year will be offset next year by increased fee revenue (new professions) or reduced expenditures.

·        Federal Accounts – Our Federal accounts are in structural balance.

 

            Our Budget Coordination staff and I will continue to closely monitor each of these accounts and work with program office fiscal staff and the Deputies to insure structural balance.  Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this report.

 

I recommend that the Board of Regents take the following action:

 

VOTED, that the Board of Regents accept the March 2004 State Education Department Fiscal Report as presented.
