FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012 ADOPTED BUDGET

The adopted consolidated budget for fiscal year 2011-2012 totals $16,871,000. The funds include: $12,794,000 from the Joint Resolution - General Fund, $300,000 from Special Assignments, $995,000 from Special State Funds and $2,782,000 in Federal Funds.

Operating Expenses reflect an increase of $1,251,000, when compared with the funds allocated for fiscal year 2010-2011. This increase is due to the transfer of employees from the Office of Management, Permits and Endorsements to the Planning Board as disposed by Law 161 of December 1, 2009, known as the Law to Reform the Puerto Rico Permits Process.

The Joint Resolution-General Fund resources will cover the Agency's operating expenses. Also, a Special Appropriation of $150,000 was included for operating expenses of the Consulting Group for the Development of Castaer, in accordance with Law No. 403 of September 22, 2004, as amended, known as the Special Law for the Development of Castaer. Another Special Appropriation of $150,000 will be used to cover the costs of redesigning the Economic Development System.

The Special State Fund receives its funds from publication rights, documents or studies, that are property of the Board. By law, these funds is are for non-payroll operating costs. The change observed in this fund is due to a reduction in accounts receivables that were transferred to other agencies, in accordance with Law 161, supra.

Contributing federal programs include: $2,507,000 from the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants; $75,000 from the Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards; $140,000 from the Homeland Security Grant Program (FEMA) and $60,000 from Economic Development Assistance.
