FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET

The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $14,095,000. This amount includes $10,900,000 from the Joint Resolution General Fund, $419,000 from Special Appropriations and $2,776,000 in Federal Funds.

Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $3,558,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to the implementation of an early retirement incentive program. The Board does not expect additional state Special Funds since the night to collect fees was transfered to other agencies, as established by Act 161-2009, known as the Puerto Rico Permit Process Reform Act.

Resources from the Joint Resolution General Fund will be used for operational expenses and payments to the Public Buildings Authority. A Special Appropriation is included for the operational expenses of the Castañer Development Consulting Group; for the Economic Development System's re-design study; for the "Convenio de Delegación de Competencia al Municipio de Ponce" and for the Cooperative Conjunction Agreement for the US Geological Survey services.

Contributing federal programs include: $2,501,000 from the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants; $75,000 from the Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards, $140,000 from Homeland Security Grant Program (FEMA) and $60,000 from the Economic Development Assistance Program.
