FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $373.0 contained in this
bill is a recurring expense to the General Fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of
Fiscal Year 2003 shall revert to the General Fund.
The total of the Fiscal Year 2003 premiums for
the New Mexico State Fair Commission’s general liability ($323.0), public
property ($20.6) and workers’ compensation ($26.4) coverages is $370.0. GSD staff notes the bill’s appropriation
does not address the other insurance costs for FY 2003 nor the past due amounts
for the Fiscal Years 2001 and 2002.
The New Mexico State Fair Commission comments
the State Fair is an enterprise agency and has not received general
appropriations for its daily operations.
By receiving relief of $373.0 to pay for insurance services, the Fair
will have funds equal to that amount freed to use on other critical repairs and
revenue-generating efforts. With an
aging physical plant in continual need of repair or replacement and attempting
to generate revenues in an atmosphere of strong competition, the Fair will need
improved facilities to be able to exist at all.
