Department of Commerce - Utilities Board Spending Plan Reduction for the 10% ATB
4 Eliminate upgrades to the Board's $0 $ 20,000 The EFS system has fundamentally changed the way the
Electronic Filing System IUB accepts filings and makes our records available to
the public. Upgrades to further enhance the system will
be foregone.
5 Eliminate purchase of more energy $0 $ 35,000 Office equipment will not be replaced with more efficient
efficient equipment models, which is the goal of the Green Government effort
and will detract from the energy efficiency performance of
the IUB/OCA building.
6 Delay information technology & $0 $ 83,700 IT equipment will not be replaced or upgraded as
software purchases scheduled. Current computer applications are necessary
in utility regulation so the agency can run modeling
software used by the utilities for programs such as rate
design and energy efficiency plans.
7 Remove telephones $0 $ 7,280 Telephones will be removed from conference rooms, the
hearing room, and one-third of staff offices, making public
access to staff more difficult.
8 Delay inspector vehicle replacement $0 $ 20,000 Vehicle replacement for IUB electric line and pipeline X
safety inspectors will be delayed, rather than following a
replacement schedule that spreads costs evenly over
budget years. This will likely result in the need to
purchase multiple vehicles in a single budget year in the
future.
9 Reduce industry journals, subscription $0 $ 10,350 Loss of industry journals, such as Inside FERC, Electricity
services & supply purchases Journal, and Value Line, to keep Board members and
staff educated about current issues. This is an even
bigger negative as opportunities to meet with our
regulatory colleagues will be gone. Reduce basic office
supply purchases.
10 Reduction in reimbursements to other $0 $ 11,185 Training will be eliminated. We anticipate a cost savings
state agencies (Eliminate training, etc.) in mandatory purchases from DAS that will reduce DAS's
revenue by the same amount.
11 Do not fill current vacancies $0 $ 129,900 2.00 Currently, 2 positions, Attorney 1 and Accounting Tech 1,
are vacant and will not be filled. The loss of an attorney
forces additional work to other attorneys; this has a
cascading effect on turnaround time for customer and
utility dockets. The IUB is funded by the utility companies
it regulates. One Accounting Tech responsibility is to
process utility company payments for the work of the
agency.
12 Reduction in payroll through layoffs $0 $ 529,173 14.00 Loss of 14 employees (21% of our 67 current employees) X
will adversely affect our ability to provide services. Areas
that will be particularly impacted are: •
Expertise and level of participation in regional
transmission • Renewable energy review • Energy
efficiency review development • Safety inspections for
pipeline and transmission lines • Transmission line
franchising • Expertise in complex telecommunications
proceedings such as universal service, access rates, and
national profile cases (Iowa’s traffic pumping docket).
13 Unemployment costs $0 $145,600 There is a standing unlimited appropriation that pays all
unemployment claims for General Fund agencies only.
For non-General Fund agencies like the Board, the
agency is billed and has to remit money to DAS-SAE.
Because of this expense not experienced by General

Appropriation
1 First District CBC $ (1,324,299) 4.50 29.99 Supervision and services will be significantly reduced in a wide variety of program areas including victim services, psychological testing, sex X
offenders, OWI treatment, education and job development programs. These reductions will negatively impact the recidivism success rates
and could result in more offenders staying longer on supervision without appropriate alternatives. Our caseload numbers will continue to
climb.
A reduction in staff time devoted to pre-sentence investigations will delay these reports to the Courts. Transfer from institutional supervision
to parole supervision will slow and will impact prison populations as parole and probation caseloads increase significantly. The entry of
important data into the offender information network will be compromised as will basic security functions such as urinalysis, breath testing an
home and worksite visits. We must evaluate the closure of an existing Residential Facility in order to better prioritize our resources in
accordance with evidence based practices.
2 Second District CBC $ (1,109,627) 4.00 14.15 Several positions have been held vacant to absorb the budget reductions we experienced going into FY 10. Further reduction will result in X
holding additional vacancies (both current and projected) for longer periods of time, layoff of additional positions and reduction of hours for
others. Closure of programs and facilities is likely. The size of probation and parole caseloads will continue to climb, fewer staff will be
available for 24/7 residential facility coverage, we will be forced to reduce residential capacities and we will lose the ability to provide
evidence-based practices such as offender treatment groups.
As these programs are reduced or eliminated and supervision loads increase, we expect to see fewer successful outcomes. This may result
in a decreased level of public safety. Reductions in operating budgets will result in a loss of resources to include, but not limited to, reduced
food service in residential facilities; could require that we grant residents additional furlough time to eat meals outside the facility; and will
cause a reduction in offender accountability measures such as drug testing. Greater inefficiencies will result from an inability to replace
essential equipment as it becomes unreliable.
3 Third District CBC $ (593,960) $ - 0 20 Drug Court and Batterer's Education Programs will be reduced or eliminated in Woodbury and Plymouth Counties. Informal probation will be X
difficult to sustain at current levels as will non-Sex Offender Intensive Supervision, Cognitive Education classes and groups, Sex Offender
and OWI programs and psychological testing services. Specialized Interstate Compact caseloads will be minimized.
Significantly increased parole/probation caseload sizes will result in fewer meaningful offender contacts. Reduced clerical support will
increase the times necessary for preparation of Pre-Sentence Investigations and other reports. Response times to GPS alerts and other
issues will be compromised. Probation/Parole and Residential Officer safety will be compromised as well. Case-planning, release planning,
reentry planning and other long term planning activities will be reduced in order to meet immediate needs. Reduced and delayed entry of
important data into the Offender Information network will result. Supervisors will take on additional line functions resulting in compromised
quality control measures. Transition from institutions to parole status will be less efficient and will result in increased prison populations.
Offender security measures; urinalysis, breath testing, work and home visits; will be reduced.
4 Fourth Judicial District - DCS $ (575,500) 0.00 17.00 The impact of this reduction is the Fourth Judicial District's reduced capacity to serve offenders who are on probation, parole, and work X
release. It greatly reduces the ability to provide supervision of offenders demonstrating an inability or unwillingness to function without
program supervision. Workloads for staff will increase and drug testing, monitoring of offender compliance with community release
expectations and monitoring defendants awaiting trial will decrease. Our capability to monitor conditions of
probation/parole, locate absconders, follow up on offenders' locations and activities will be reduced. We will lose the ability to provide
evidence based services resulting in higher recidivism rates and returns to prison. The overall impact is a reduction in successful outcomes
and public and staff safety. We must consider the closing of a residential facility which will reduce the Fourth Judicial District’s capacity to
serve offenders who are on probation, work release and the OWI continuum. This reduces our ability to provide supervision of offenders
demonstrating an inability or unwillingness to function under less restrictive program supervision and will lead to increased prison populations.
5 Fifth District CBC $ (1,927,825) 16.00 18.67 Probation/Parole Officer's caseloads will continue to increase to, on average, double the level recommended on the state workload formula. X
Probation/Parole and Residential Officers will be required to assist in the maintenance of buildings, in clerical functions, and in responding to
electronic monitoring violations. Re entry efforts will be diminished in that increased caseloads and expanded duties will result in less time in
which to implement practices and programs which improve the likelihood of offender success under supervision and reduce the likelihood of
future arrest.
The capacity for residential services, intensive supervision, and the use of electronic monitoring for high risk non sex offenders will be
decreased. Reduction of these intermediate sanction options will likely result in higher rates of revocation requests to the Courts.
PRELIMINARY DEPARTMENT PLAN
Our capacity to implement and maintain evidence based practices and programs will be severely compromised as both line staff positions
and supervisory positions are cut resulting in decreased access to programs and services and significantly diminished capacity to ensure
adequate assessment of offender need and program quality in those programs that remain.
Collaboration with local providers, neighborhoods, agencies, volunteers and other partnerships will be hampered and will, ultimately, impact
our re entry efforts. Less time devoted to coordination of community service events will negatively impact our community relationships and
affect reconciliation of offenders to the community.
6 Sixth District CBC $ (1,378,702) $ - $ - 9.50 42.63 Impact on Clerical and Offender Employment Specialists: This loss of positions which will result in no support for residential and field service X
clients in the employment arena. We will see a decrease in the number of employed offenders resulting in increased inability to pay victim
restitution, residential rent, and supervision fees. Community safety will be compromised because of activities such as work furloughs will no
be able to be monitored.
Pretrial Release Program: Greatly reducing this program has a direct impact on the Court's release decision making which will result in high
risk offenders released to the community without supervision or the jail system will become burdened with offenders who could otherwise be
released to the community.
Probation/Parole Officer III: Eliminating this classification will return us to fortress supervision and will impact our ability to provide supervisio
for intensive need offenders. Any treatment and cognitive based programs will be either eliminated or significantly diminished.
Community Treatment Coordinators: Eliminating this classification will diminish prison re-entry efforts; curtail mental health re-entry at the
community level; dilute the level of batterer's education programming that can be offered.
Probation/Parole Officers II/I: Significantly decreasing the number of staff in this classification will result in caseload sizes increasing and
effective management of individual cases will decrease.
Community Program Monitor: Eliminating a CPM will result in rural caseloads increasing in number and cognitive programming will no longer
be offered.
Work Crew Leaders: Eliminating work crew leaders will result in the inability to provide community service opportunities to clients as well as
eliminating the development of work skills.
Psychologist: Eliminating this position discontinues specialized assessments and specialized treatment for high risk offenders and it
eliminates our ability to do plethysmograph assessments for sexual predators.
Secretaries: This diminishes the number of hours we will be able to keep the office open to the public and submission of data entry will be
delayed which could impact law enforcement's ability to quickly assess important information on dangerous offenders.
7 Seventh District CBC $ (715,222) $ - $ - 5.00 23.45 The number of probation/parole officers will be reduced increasing caseload sizes and decreasing the level of supervision provided. x
Decreased supervision and reduced support and guidance to offenders will increase offender commitments. The transition time from
institution to parole or work release will increase. Substance abuse assessments will be significantly reduced as will our ability to provide
much needed substance abuse services. Pre-trial release services will be decreased. Increased per officer workload will reduce public
safety and may result in increased rates of revocation. Consideration must be given to the elimination of a residential program in Davenport.
8 Eighth District CBC $ (710,203) 5.45 A number of key positions will be kept vacant. The inability to fill case managing positions will exacerbate workload issues. The inability to fill X
clerical positions puts more work on the case managers as well. Not filling our Reentry position effects the entire corrections system, leaving
us in an unfavorable position to help some offenders find reentry placements. We will reduce part-time officer hours in our residential facilitie
by 1,000. Operating at bare minimum staffing patterns can impact the security and safety of residential facilities. In addition, this reduction in
conjunction with other reversions may force us to reduce residential
capacity. We will be forced to reduce visits to outlying counties by 25%. This equates to a reduction of services. In addition, the loss of these
monies severely impacts our ability to provide meaningful, relevant training to staff. We will reduce vehicle operations by 25%. This also
impacts services and the ability to provide training to staff. We will consider the closure of one of our Field Offices which will greatly affect
service delivery in that area of the District. We will reduce special service contracts by appx. 40%. In essence, this is a return to treatment
practices conducted in the mid to late 1990s and greatly interferes with our ability to provide evidence based services. This will likely result in
an increase in negative outcomes and revocations. Our IT budget will be cut by 50%. This means computers and printers will not be replace
on schedule and may result in inefficiencies.
9 DOC Central Office $ (481,005) 7.00 2.38 Severely impacts our ability to achieve our vision and mission as well as perform essential administration of security, treatment, financial and X
infrastructure functions for all nine prison facilities and the Community Based Correctional system in eight judicial districts.

10 Iowa State Penitentiary $ (4,111,469) 23.00 80.50 The impact will affect all departments in every level of service at the Iowa State Penitentiary including Security, Recreation, Treatment, Healt X
Services, Dietary, Maintenance, and Support Services. A reduced workforce will create serious safety concerns for the public, staff and
offenders within the maximum security facility. In line with the security concern, is the closing of four towers (3, 5, 14 and 16). Significant
reduction in essential security activities, such as cell area and personal searches, will perform below acceptable levels. Reduced services to
the offender population will create excessive amounts of free time and missed opportunities for rehabilitation and educational programs.
Programs include the Restorative Justice Program, Substance Abuse Treatment, Education, Anger Management, Commitment to Change,
Victim Impact, Sex Offender Treatment and other evidence based programs.
Several of these programs are mandated by the Parole Board. In order for an offender to receive a release they must successfully complete
their mandated programs. The reduction in programming will ultimately affect re-entry into the community.
The institution will experience delays in service and repair of necessary and sometimes vital equipment. General maintenance and upkeep t
the facility will be impacted. With the drastic reduction in workforce it will be difficult to fill posts due to sick or vacation leave.
11 Anamosa State Penitentiary $ (3,141,390) $ - 26.00 80.25 Loss of security staff could result in: modifying the housing configuration behind the walls housing units which could lead to crowding in the X
remaining cell blocks. A reduction in offender supervision (As an example, two staff supervising a 300+ bed housing unit); a reduction in
essential security activities such as cell, area, and personal searches; reduces our ability to respond to critical incidents and disruptive
behavior; and diminishes capacity to perform specialized security intelligence functions related to organized criminal and gang activity.
Loss of treatment staff will result in the downgrading of substance abuse treatment programming; raises counselor caseloads to the level that
only essential functions or short term crisis intervention will occur. This focus will replace long term counseling and programs necessary for
successful community reentry; and will result in an inability to meet Board of Parole release readiness expectations. Reduction of meaningful
programs and activities that promote a positive environment and behavioral change could result in additional volatility in the offender
population at a time when critical training for institutional staff is severely restricted.
Cuts in areas other than Security will also create significant impact. Business Operations, offender Canteen services, etc., will have
diminished capacity. The effect of the 10% reduction will require an evaluation of the impacts of closing programs/facilities associated with
ASP.
12 Iowa Medical and Classification Center $ (5,864,610) 49.50 23.00 Eliminates our ability to deliver level of service substance abuse assessment programming for the Department of Corrections prison system. X
Reduces security staffing at IMCC resulting in the loss of essential security functions being performed. The loss of security staff members w
require us to re-evaluate numerous posts. Significant reduction in essential security activities, such as cell area and personal searches, will
increase the flow of contraband. Due to the reduction in security staffing our response capabilities to critical incidents and disruptive
situations will be impaired.
A reduction in Medical staffing will force IMCC to consider options, such as reduced pill lines, diminishing access to health services.
Our ability to continue staff training program will be greatly diminished at a time when required training is critical in a skilled work force.
Loss of our Safety program capacity and training in this area will compromise compliance with OSHA regulations. Safety will be
compromised.
Loss of opportunities for offenders to participate in meaningful and positive activities, that promote behavior change, will be a significant
challenge.
Inability to hire positions in areas other than security and Medical Services will create a significant impact. Business operations, Institutional
maintenance, the activities department, Counseling Department, etc., will all have increased workload with less resources.
The maintenance department would delay repairs on equipment and not replace equipment as needed.
13 Newton Correctional Facility $ (2,803,339) 28.00 26.00 Reduced number of security officers will impact essential level of security performance, such as cell area and personal searches, below X
acceptable levels.
Recreation activities, such as library resources and religious programs would be discontinued or significantly reduced.
Treatment reductions will reduce substance abuse programming, delaying releases to the community and/or reducing the number of
offenders that receive treatment prior to returning to the community. NCF would lose 50% of the supervision for Treatment Programs and
33% of the Quality Assurance for Substance Abuse Programs.
NCF will eliminate some off-grounds work programs, close some programs and portions of the facility and reduce community service
programs.
NCF would require intervention on court settlements and Federal Marshall contracts.
Delay repairs and replacement of broken equipment. Preventative maintenance will be curtailed.
PRELIMINARY DEPARTMENT PLAN
14 Mt. Pleasant Correctional Facility $ (2,721,618) 14.60 36.20 Completions of substance abuse treatment programming could be reduced by a significant percentage. X
Spanish speaking offender who are not bi-lingual will not receive programming at current levels.
Completion of sexual abuse treatment programming will be reduced. Sex offender pre-treatment, for those who refuse to accept
responsibility for their crime, will be curtailed to a large degree.
Classes that could be eliminated include: Anger Management, Batterer's Education, Criminal Thinking and Victim Impact.
Length of stay will increase due to decrease of treatment program capacity and inability to meet Board of Parole release readiness.
Offenders expecting treatment opportunities leading to successful release could be frustrated. Mental health issues, aggression and
restlessness could increase.
Operational maintenance will delay causing an increase in equipment breakdown and facility impacts.
15 North Central Correctional Facility $ (939,219) $ - 10.00 9.00 Reduced security by the elimination of cameras and lights. Fewer rounds by security staff and a significant reduction in essential security x
activities, such as cell area and personal searches, will be reduced below acceptable levels. Reduced supervision of offenders working in
minimum outs. Less expertise in assigning minimum outs work. Reduced supervision in the living units and multi-use areas by staff.
Larger caseloads for counselors. Decrease in programming for criminal thinking, substance abuse, motivational interviewing, and
transition/release planning.
Maintenance delays and eventual equipment breakdown. Delays in accounting and required fiscal management. Less oversight in food
ordering, preparation, and gardening.
16 Clarinda Correctional Facility $ (2,342,105) 17.60 23.35 Operations severely impacted through reduction of security, treatment and support operations. Compromises our ability to maintain safe and X
secure facilities and to achieve our mission to advance successful offender re-entry to protect the public, staff and offenders from

OI49 CC Interpreters for the Deaf $ 20,000 $ 20,000 This program reimburses a local community college for
expenses related to these mandated services, so the community

OI50 Community College Salaries $ 91,668 $ 91,668 These funds supplement community college instructor salaries
and are rolled into basic aid for community colleges in the 2nd
year after the appropriation, making the increased salary
supplement a permanent part of community college state aid.

vary from community college to community college.
PRELIMINARY DEPARTMENT PLAN
OI51 DE Administration $ 807,398 $ 807,398 14.00 5-10* For an agency that is already 70% federally funded, this X
significant cut to state aid will have a dramatic impact on those
personnel funded with state resources and will reduce the
agency's ability to meet state expectations in various areas. The
agency will be reviewing and making recommendations on
functions that may have to be eliminated simply because there
aren't enough staff to adequately support those mandated
functions. We are eliminating out-of-state travel on state funds.
We have reduced memberships by two thirds. We cut print,
professional services, outside services, and out-of-state travel
budgets by 50%. We will be considering a series of furlough
days. Any staffing reductions will occur through a combination
of moving state positions onto federal funding, attrition,
retirements, and position elimination.
OI52 Vocational Education Administration $ 113,621 $ 58,276 $ 55,345 2.25 This funding must be maintained at the FY09 level. This cut will X X X

OI59 Community College General Aid $ 15,867,850 $ 15,867,850 Statewide effect undetermined and will vary by community X X
college dependent on available levy authority and cash
reserves, among other factors. Roughly 80% of local budgets
are personnel, but options mid-year are limited due to contracts.
This compression of system resources will impact staffing
directly in FY11. CC tuition rates are already one of the highest
in the nation and with the cap on ability to raise local property
tax, this cut will require either reduction of programming and
staff or increases to tuition rates or both.
OI70 Voluntary Preschool $ 1,194,569 $ 1,194,569 1.00 Preschool grants will be prorated down proportionally. This will X
result in approximately 400 4 year olds not receiving the support

OI83 Iowa Core Curriculum $ 197,954 $ 197,954 The mandated implementation of the Iowa Core Curriculum
must be completed by 2012 for grades 9-12 and 2014 for
grades K-8. This appropriation is the primary support that
provides trainers to schools on this implementation. This fund
was already reduced in the appropriations process and is again
reduced here and will delay the ability for schools to effectively
implement this mandate. This is a primary example of how
resources negatively impact the ability of the state and the
Department of Education to increase expectations and
performance.

administrator mentoring by 14 administrators.
OIB8 Ed Expenses for American Indians $ 10,000 $ 10,000 This reduction will simply reduce available funds to the entity for
this purpose. The Department is anticipating the loss of these

for non-recurring expenses for court costs and other related ago, the cap on non-recurring expenses was $500. This could result in
legal expenses from $700 to $500, effective 1.1.10 through some families having a difficult time finding an attorney to finalize the
6.30.10* adoption.
4 Special services - Suspend payment for new requests for 846,526 256,413 590,113 - - - This reduction would impact the following new requests for special X

10 Juvenile Justice programs - 10% reduction in funding for 1,273,845 1,273,845 - - - - There could be a reduction in community based services to youth
tracking, supervised community treatment, life skills, & school involved in the juvenile justice system. Note that since the reduction
based, effective 1.1.10 through 6.30.10 occurs mid-year, the impact will be larger than 10%; however, Juvenile
Court Services (JCS) often does not fully spend and transfers $ into
decat. Last year, for example, JCS transferred 36% of graduated
sanction program funding to decat. Note that the amount reflected as a
reduction is 10% of the total of the state and TANF funding, although the
cut would be taken against the state funding only.
11 Juvenile Justice drug courts - eliminate effective 1.1.10 520,150 520,150 - - - - Recently, the Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning (CJJP)
completed an evaluation of juvenile drug courts. They found that juvenile
justice drug courts did not reduce new offenses, although participants
received more substance abuse treatment services than non-
participants, had higher placement costs, and had higher juvenile justice
supervision costs. Assumes 50% of funds saved. Note that juvenile
justice drug courts are operational in only 5 counties. Also note that this
would impact Judicial Department; in SFY 2009, DHS transferred
$512,619 to SCA for salaries associated with juvenile justice drug courts.
12 Court ordered services - 10% reduction, effective 1.1.10 312,385 312,385 - - - - Reduces funding for court ordered services to children/youth adjudicated

Kids Net may request contract amendment to adjust performance
expectations.
16 Family foster care/foster home insurance fund - reduce 135,998 94,165 41,833 - - - Reflects projected surplus for current year; no negative impact on current X
funding to eliminate SFY 2010 projected surplus year coverage. Could present issues in SFY 2011 if cost of insurance
increases.
17 PMIC multi-dimensional treatment (MDT) - eliminate program 62,500 62,500 - - - - Assumes savings of 50% of total allocation; rationale that only available
effective 1.1.10* in 2 counties & serves very few children.
18 Family foster care - reduce SFY 2010 allocations to Service 1,810,922 1,810,922 - - - - Projected surplus is based on comparing current allocations to SFY 2009
Areas by projected surplus amount* actual expenditures. SFY 2010 YTD suggests this is realistic, although
there may be pressure to place more children in family foster care if other
services are cut significantly. Note that we will likely need to revisit
Service Area (SA) allocations for family foster care, group care and SAL
if total $ available are reduced according to this plan.
19 Shelter care - 5% reduction in payment rate for shelter and 455,354 412,635 42,719 - - - County payment rate for shelter care placements would remain the X X
CWES, effective 1.1.10 through 6.30.10 same. Note that the 5% reduction would also apply to Child Welfare
emergency services (CWES) developed by reducing empty guaranteed
shelter care beds.
21 Group care - 5% reduction in payment rates, effective 1.1.10 848,579 749,660 98,919 - - - Could negatively impact staff retention, and/or quality of care X X
through 6.30.10
22 Group care - reduce SFY 2010 allocations to Service Areas 1,828,615 1,828,615 - - - - Projected surplus is based on comparing current allocations to SFY 2009
by projected surplus amount* actual expenditures. Looking at SFY 2010 YTD caseloads for group care
suggests this is reasonable. Note, however, that Services Area
Managers (SAMs) & Chief Juvenile Court Officers (CJCOs) use surplus $
to fund services to keep youth out of group care; eliminating surplus
could result in increased demand for group care, which could result in a
waiting list, especially if bed capacity at Juvenile Institutions decreased.
Also note that we will likely need to revisit SA allocations for family foster
care, group care & SAL if total $ available are reduced according to this
plan.
23 Supervised Apartment Living (SAL) - 5% reduction in provider 23,198 23,198 - - - - Assumes no reduction in maintenance payment. Could negatively

24 Child welfare training - Reduce funding by 25% 154,394 103,012 51,382 - - - Will impact training for both DHS staff and child welfare providers; we will X
try to minimize negative impact by improving coordination of DHS and
provider training & joint training
25 SSI contract - Reduce by 10% 36,780 36,780 - - - - Could have negative impact on SSI recoveries that are used to offset
cost of foster care. Note that reducing the SSI contract will also
potentially have a negative long term impact on children/families if they
are not able to aggressively pursue SSI eligibility for some children
26 Detention - Divert $1 M from detention reimbursement to 1,000,000 1,000,000 - - - - Rationale is that detention utilization down. Note that the intent is not to
replace state funding for delinquency programs* increase or decrease funding for delinquency programs through this
proposal. The reduction would be to funding that goes to county
detention facilities.

There are a total of 264 vacant positions in DHS as of Oct 7th of this year.
> 15 of the vacant positions are funded by sources other than the general fund and are therefore not subject to the ATB.
> 80 of the vacant positions are at the Woodward and Glenwood Resource Centers. The proposed reduction plan for the centers does not
include vacancies since the positions are needed to sustain changes underway due to the Department of Justice Decree.

2 Q63 Contested Case hearings ($67,731.70) ($67,731.70) $0.00 $0.00 0.00 2.00 This plan would delay the ability of the Department to provide timely X X
hearings to people who are impacted by State action. The State is
required to provide due process after taking an action that impacts a
citizen's benefits or rights. Due process, in this context, means
providing notice and the opportunity to be heard by an independent
administrative law judge.
Delays in the hearing process will have the following impact: (1)
Low income Iowans will wait longer to find out if they can receive
food, medical and other forms of assistance necessary to provide
support to their children and themselves; (2) Persons in regulated
professions, especially those whose practices endanger health and
safety, will continue to practice before any disciplinary action can be
resolved; (3) Licensed drivers who are impaired (such as drunk
driving) will be able to drive longer before having their license
suspended or revoked; (4) Cases to enforce OSHA and
environmental charges will be delayed; (5) Attempts to collect state
debts will be delayed; and (6) Citizens who seek redress from the
agency or relief from an arbitrary practice are denied that relief while
they wait for a hearing and decision. In addition, in as much as the
agency has chosen to make policy within the contested case
framework, the agency’s ability to regulate is compromised.

portion of the General Fund HFD reduction of $223,538 being
appropriated from the Medicaid Fraud Account during the 2010
session. The Medicaid Fraud Account was funded from the
Department’s Investigations Division’s penalty recoveries
(approximately $4 Million in pharmaceutical company penalty
money), codified during the 2009 legislative session (SF 484). The
current use of the Department’s Medicaid Fraud Account
encompasses HFD’s investigation of unlicensed and uncertified

in licensed and certified facilities is equally important.
The Department currently has eight (8) vacancies that were in the
process of being filled. One of these positions is 100% federally
funded, and it would be our intent to fill this position and a 75%
Medicare/Medicaid funded position to investigate increased levels of
complaints. Although it would create challenges, not unlike others
created throughout state government, the remaining six (6)
vacancies could be sacrificed to reduce the Medicaid Fraud Account
transfer by $77,625. This is not the preferred solution, given the
importance of this work. It will also be necessary to require a dollar

indigent defense services system would be covered by a reallocation of dollars from the
Indigent Defense Fund. While this reallocation will reduce additional
expense to the Indigent Defense system that would occur if
reductions were made to the Public Defender system, there will still
be an impact on the Indigent Defense Fund, which will run out of
money to pay claims before the end of the third quarter of the fiscal
year. This would shift the cost of Indigent Defense Fund claims to
the State Appeal Board and delay payments to vendors (the private
bar).

public defender system cut to the Public Defender system from the Indigent Defense Fund.
For every vacant Public Defender position, the cost to the Indigent
