state program
o Mid-year reduction results in receiving 25% of computed
salary program
o Tentatively covered by budgeted reserve and FY09 vacancies
• FY10 potential impact

o State would provide $42.1 million compared to about $183 million
total unrestricted budget (w/o fringe benefits) or 23% of
unrestricted budget
o $0 appropriated for salary increases
o “Salary Freezes for Public Employees Including Colleges” ($262
