STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27837 / H0564
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Office of Information Technology Services. It
appropriates a total of $18,411,400 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 135.00.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per
eligible FTP and temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. Funding for
replacement items includes $1,818,200 for software licensing, server infrastructure, and storage to expand
system capabilities on core systems. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in
employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job
classifications most in need of equity adjustments. The bill funds three line items, which provide $600,000
for software applications for centralized IT management; $15,000 for rental vehicles and fuel; and $648,400
for office space for IT modernization and expansion at the Chinden Campus and at two regional offices, all
related to Phase II of the Governor's technology initiative. Also included are 69.00 FTP and $6,309,200
for Phase II consolidation of technology services across seven state agencies. Phase II includes adding the
Department of Correction, Department of Fish and Game, Department of Water Resources, Department of
Agriculture, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Environmental Quality, and the Real Estate
Commission to the agencies being supported by the Office of Information Technology Services. Lastly, the
ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
