Mr. Humphries referenced the summary handout and said that it included calculations for type and number of permits received and ssued, the type and number of revisions received and issued, the type and number of inspections conducted and the type and number of enforcement actions conducted. He discussed this information briefly and the information regarding Program Staff hours and funds spent between July 11., 1991 and June 30, 1992 with the Board. Regarding Minerals Program revenue and expenses, Mr. Humphries said total revenue obtain in FY '91-92 was 5632,999; he said thi> was about $9,000 less than projected. Cash operating expenses totalej $464,957. The Division calculated a cash balance on June 30,1992 at: $168,000, however, the Department's budget director's recalculations show a year-end cash balance of approximately $180,000. Mr. Humphries said this is about 8140,000 more than projected. Appropriations for the current Fiscal Year include 5256,611 for the General Fund and 3663,556 for the Cash Fund. He explained that these two amounts would be included when calculating expenses, because the policy rf•quires the spending of appropriated funds. Appropriated expenses total 3920,367, with cash revenues of 3945,391. Mr. Humphries said the Program would have about 325,000 left over at the end of this Fiscal Year, plus 5180,000 left over from FY '91 which he said is an indication that the Program continues to gain Cash revenues. He said theses funds will allow him to hire the additional people needed for the Minerals Program. In response to an inquiry from the Board, Mr. Humphries said he i5 authorized to fill 20 positions in the Program this Fiscal Year. He said about 15 people were employed in the Minerals Program on July 1, 1992, two people were added on July 13, bringing the total to 17, and he plans to hire another individual in August. Mr. Humphries said he feels he could hire up to the 20 people authorized with the revenues provided by the cash fund. Mr. Humphries explained that one of his positions is for .3 FTE which will be used to compensate the IML Program for revoked site reclamation work. He asked the Board to consider an appropriate amount for the Division to maintain in cash reserves, keeping in mind that fees will be increased for the last time during the '93-94 Fiscal Year. The Director informed that Board that the Division will be proposing a decision item to the Executive Director's Office for inclusion in the '93-94 budget. This would be an initiative to increase the Minerals Staff to 22 positions, based on cash funds or anticipated revenues.
