Rethinking the State's Approach to Deferred Maintenance

February 21, 1996 - The current system of funding ongoing maintenance and deferred maintenance creates counterproductive fiscal incentives that encourage the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges to defer needed maintenance. We recommend specific steps the Legislature should take to resolve the existing backlogs in deferred maintenance and the underfunding of regular maintenance.

A Perspective on County Fiscal Constraints

February 21, 1996 - The fiscal constraints counties face hinder county administration of many programs in which the state has considerable interest--including health, welfare, criminal justice, and property tax collection. These fiscal constraints also impair county ability to provide local programs--law enforcement, libraries, and parks--in a manner which meets the preferences of local residents.In this section, we discuss proposals that look at the revenue side of the budget. In so doing, we have applied the same approach as with direct spending programs--that is, we have examined tax-related provisions referred to as tax expenditure programs (TEPs)--and recommended changes to those that are not achieving their stated purposes or are of a lower priority.

Transportation Programming and Funding

February 19, 1996 - The 1996 Fund Estimate is in "balance", but only as a result of (1) deleting previously scheduled projects, (2) adding no new projects and using revenues from future years to fund some existing projects, (3) deferring some project costs beyond 2002-03, and (4) not addressing the costs for toll bridge seismic retrofit.

State Information Technology: An Update

January 23, 1996 - In order to ensure the resolution of the problems discussed in the three 1994 reports, we recommend that the Legislature (1) continue to closely monitor the state's information technology efforts and ensure that the administration addresses the issues raised in three oversight reports; (2) hold the new information technology oversight agency accountable, but remove barriers to fulfilling its mission; and (3) direct the administration to implement a new cost allocation method to fund the new information technology oversight department.
