Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
To date we have billed counties 562,852 days through Jan. That is an average of 80,407 days a month which would project out to 964,889 for the year.
I multiplied the perdiem rate difference by projected yearly days billed($5,673,547). I was going to also make a note that this is based on the current fiscal year perdiem and could possibly change when the new budget office calculation is done for FY23.
Budget Office Perdiem $54.13
Per Diem Freeze $48.25
Difference $5.88
Current Days Billed 562,852
Monthly Avg 80,407
Projected Yearly Days Billed 964,889
County Days Billed 964889
Per Diem Difference 5.88
Estimated Cost of Perdiem Freeze $5,673,547
Jail Special Revenue Payroll Estimate $ 64,390,297
Projected amount needed from Legislature $(29,500,000)
Remaining amount covered by Current expense Line from DCR $ 34,890,297
Memorandum
Please note that the way the per diem is calculated will have to be updated in the code if this bill passes as is.
THe 5.6 million is if the perdiem is frozen at $48.25
The 29.5 million in payroll is explained as:
Current projections for Jail Special Revenue payroll and benefits for FY 2022 is expected to be approximately $61.8 million and if raises go into effect the anticipated payroll and benefits for FY23 would be approximately $64.4 million for FY23.
The thought is if the legislature would provide $29.5 million DCR would utilize the Current expense line now used to pay their perdiem to offset the remaining amount needed to cover the payroll amount.
Jail Payroll Estimate $ 64,390,297
Projected amount needed from Legislature $(29,500,000)
Remaining amount covered by Current expense Line from DCR $ 34,890,297
depending on the way the perdiem is calculated and such there may be a need for a supplemental in future years.
