STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27047
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for the Office of Information Technology Services. It
appropriates a total of $9,962,500 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 66.00.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per
eligible FTP; provides a 5.5% increase for the employer's share of PERSI contributions; and temporarily
reduces the rate agencies pay the Division of Human Resources for its services. For statewide cost
allocation, $13,100 is provided. An annualization in the amount of $85,000 is provided for an IT manager
position that was funded as an FY 2019 supplemental appropriation. The bill also provides funding for the
equivalent of a 3% change in employee compensation for permanent employees, with a minimum increase
of $550 for each employee and the remaining amount to be distributed based on merit. The bill funds six
line items, which provide $1,262,800 to replace the existing state core network equipment; $26,700 for
cybersecurity software; $217,900 to support mobile technology that is on and off the state's IT network;
$36,000 for a data center at the Chinden Campus; $164,000 for office space at the Chinden Campus; and
$3,373,200 for the Governor's technology modernization and consolidation initiatives.
