Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


In reference to SB414, this proposal is anticipated to result in a more efficient administration of certain functions and activities of the WVDOT. The consolidation of three (3) existing agencies, which have similar duties, responsibilities and authorities, will allow utilization and sharing by the consolidated agency of resources, personnel, equipment, and office space to operate and fulfill its mission in a cost-effective manner. The elimination of three (3) existing Boards of Directors that currently oversee the existing WVDOT agencies also will reduce costs to the agency, as reimbursement by WVDOT of Board member expenses no longer will be necessary. No additional personnel positions are anticipated to be necessary as a result of the consolidation. Est Savings to WVDOT: Est Annual cost of Board reimbursement: WVAC $2000 WVPPA $5000 WVSRA $5000 Subtotal $12,000 WVAC Director Position w/88% Additive $156,000 WVPPA Director Position w/88% Additive $131,000 WVPPA Exec Sec Position w/88% Additive $71,000 WVSRA FTE reduction (1 position) w/88% Additive $38,000 Subtotal $396,000 Total Savings $408,000, say $400,000 Est Additional Cost to WVDOT: Agency Director Position w/88% Additive ($150,000) Civil Service coverage for current non-covered ($25,000) Total Cost ($175,000) Est Cost Difference for WVDOT: Total Savings less Total Cost $225,000
