Postponed decisions about filling behind retirees
and other vacancies
Made reductions in discretionary spending (OTPS;
visibility; computer infrastructure)
Introduced new Spring 2002 courses to limit the
increase in accessory instruction usage
SUNY’s 2002-03 State Budget

Impact of State Budget on ESF
ESF’s 2002-03 operating budget is
approximately $31,000,000.
Gap between revenue and anticipated
expenses is $1,620,000, assuming
all cuts made in 2001-02 were restored, and
there would be no changes (additions or
deletions) in labor costs
Goals of ESF’s BudgetPlanning Process
Minimize negative impact on academic
programs and services
Use “reserves” as conservatively as
possible
Position ESF for additional budget
problems in 2003-04
College “Reserves”
“Reserves” primarily available from IFR
(Income Fund Reimbursable) accounts
Revenue is generated by specific activities and is
generally used to support related purposes.
Example of an IFR account: University Police
account - collects parking and traffic fines
Generated $8000 in revenue in 2001-02
Revenue is used to cover the cost of patrol cars,
protective equipment, training, etc.
(more)
College “Reserves”
Through prudent use of IFR funds over
the last five years, ESF has a total
accumulation in all IFR accounts of
slightly over $2M. These are our
“reserves.”
