Board staff report fiscal-year operations, personnel vacancies and purchasing delays
Summary
Administrative services staff told the Physical Therapy Board that travel and nonessential training remain limited, personnel vacancies were partly filled, and the board’s year-to-date expenditures stood at about 77% of its $7.086 million budget through the third quarter.
Administrative services staff told the Physical Therapy Board June 26 that travel and nonessential training remain limited, personnel vacancies have been partially filled and year-to-date expenditures total about 77% of the board’s $7.086 million authorized budget.
Anastasia Stokes, lead budget and contracts analyst presenting for the administrative unit, said purchases resumed after a brief delay caused by budget constraints, with funds reallocated from operating and equipment categories to cover needs. “Travel remains status quo and has been prioritized for mission critical needs only,” Stokes said.
Stokes told the board PTBC is authorized for 29.1 positions in the third quarter, with three vacancies (one SSA and two AGPAs) and one AGPA filled during the period. She said personnel liaison Julie Tao is working with management to fill remaining vacancies. Stokes said the board spent $1,480,596 in the third quarter and year-to-date expenditures totaled $5,466,476, approximately 77% of the $7,086,000 allocation. Year-to-date revenue collection was reported at $6,222,812.
Board members asked whether a recent augmentation would appear in the numbers; staff said adjustments from that augmentation would show in the fourth-quarter display. Staff explained an equipment overage reflected purchases of laptops that were ordered after an earlier denial and landed in the current fiscal year when supply became available.
No public comments were received on the administrative services update. Staff said all board employees are current on mandatory training and that training not available through the Department of Consumer Affairs’ SOLID unit is being addressed via alternative options when needed.
