Item 1

 
account's appropriation for Personal Services may be used to offset
Personal Services shortfalls in other General Fund accounts that
occur as a direct result of Personal Services appropriation
reductions for projected vacancies; except that the transfer of
such accrued savings is subject to review by the Joint Standing
Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs. Costs related to
acting capacity appointments and emergency, unbudgeted overtime for
which it is impractical to budget in advance may be used with the
approval of the appointing authority. Other actions such as
retroactive compensation for reclassifications or reallocations and
retroactive or one-time settlements related to arbitrator or court
decisions must be recommended by the department or agency head and
approved by the State Budget Officer. Salary and employee benefits
savings may not be used to fund recurring Personal Services actions
either in the account where the savings exist or in another
account.

 
Sec. A-3. Seasonal or temporary employees. All appointing authorities are
required by the Civil Service Rules, chapter 12, section 4C8(c),
as amended on June 17, 1991, to inform all seasonal or temporary
employees of the approximate date of termination of employment at
the time of hire; and that notice must be given to all employees
who are appointed to time-limited positions or appointments.

 
Sec. A-4. Maine Military Authority Enterprise Fund. It is the intent of the
Legislature that the Maine Military Authority Enterprise Fund
operate in the same manner as a similar business enterprise.
Whereas the overall activity of the fund is measured in terms of
revenues and expenses, which fluctuate with changes in activity
depending upon the demand for its goods and services, the budget
must be flexible and be regarded as an approved plan that may be
changed to react to market forces. Adjustments may be made
through financial orders recommended to the Governor by the State
Budget Officer to appropriately meet changes in the marketplace
or employment requirements. If revenues or other sources of
operating funds are not sufficient or available as anticipated
for enterprise operations, there is no obligation to provide
state funds. Positions funded by the operating revenues of the
Maine Military Authority Enterprise Fund are not included as a
part of the overall position count of state government operations
as a result of their limited nature.

 
The Maine Military Authority shall provide financial
statements in a format prescribed by the State Controller to the
Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs
and the joint standing committee of the legislature having
jurisdiction over the program on a quarterly basis.
