BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 5-10)
The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) is responsible for stimulating
the performing and fine arts in New York State. The Council works to expand
and encourage cultural resources and promote interest in the arts in the State.
The Council is also responsible for administering grants to local not-for-profit
arts organizations.
The Council's budget is included in the Education, Labor and Family Assistance
appropriation bill.
State Operations
The Executive proposes the creation of a new agency, the Office of Cultural
Resources (OCR). OCR will assume jurisdiction over the State Museum, the State
Library and the State Archives. These programs are currently administered
by the State Education Department (SED). The Executive proposes the transfer
of $9,431,700 for the new agency from SED reflecting half-year funding to allow
for the transition from SED. The Executive also proposes the transfer of nine
miscellaneous programs, totalling $10,377,500, from SED to the new agency.
The Executive recommends a General Fund appropriation of $5,474,000 for the
Administration Program, a net increase of $264,000 to reflect increased lease
costs, negotiated salary increases, and improvements to the Arts Council web-site.
Within the Administration program, Special Revenue-Federal funding decreases by
$260,300 to $469,700 to reflect the Councilūs anticipated reduction in
federal funds.
The Governor proposes maintaining at $400,000 the Fiduciary Fund that provides the
Council with spending authorization for revenues it receives from arts license
plates, as well as gifts and donations.
Aid to Localities
The Governor recommends a General Fund - Aid to Localities appropriation of
$44,000,000, reflecting a decrease of $4,000,000 over SFY 2000-01 levels.
Once again, the appropriation language includes authorization to allow the use of:
-- Up to $36,700,000 to be used for State assistance for nonprofit cultural
organizations, including a minimum of $600,000 for the Empire State
Partnerships Program, and up to $250,000 for telecommunications and
digital technology;
-- Up to $3,000,000 for a State/local partnership including activities
related to the decentralization program;
-- Up to $2,600,000 to be used for nonprofit cultural organizations and
botanical gardens, zoos and aquariums offering programs of arts related
education for elementary and secondary school pupils; and
-- Up to $1,100,000 for capital grants pursuant to Section 3.07 of the
Arts and Cultural Affairs Law.
