Dear Ms. Bolender:
October 10, 1991
Neither the office of the Governor nor the Department of Management has directed the Board of Regents to sequester approximately $18,000,000 in state general funds for fiscal 1992, 11 in order to fund the salary increases that would be required under the collective bargaining agreements for that fiscal year .. for non-contract covered employees.
We have been directed to establish the necessary reserves through layoffs to fund the contingent liability for contract-covered employees under the state ' s contracts with AFSCME. Those amounts have been set aside.
We have been informed of the approximate cost of grant i ng retroactive pay increases to noncontract-covered employees should such a stat e policy be imposed . We assume that the state would have discretion regarding such a policy and that the funding impl ications wi ll be given full consideration in the determination of such policy .
If you have additional questions, I shall be happy to answer them.

Dear Ms Bolender:
I am responding on behalf of Governor Branstad to your letter regarding the Board of Regents contingent salary liability.
The Department of Management has made the.Board of Regents aware of the cost of retroactively providing comparable pay increases to all noncontract-covered employees, and has advised that funds would not be available from any other (non-Regents) source to fund such increases. The Board is, in turn, responsible for deter.mining the best way to handle this contingency.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

At its September 25, 1991, meeting, and as a result of discussions that had taken place during the September 24 Fiscal Committee Meeting, the Iowa Legislative Council directed me to inquire whether the Governor or the Department of Management had directed you to sequester approximately $18,000,000 of state general fund moneys during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1991, in order to fund the salary increases that would be required under the collective bargaining agreements for that fiscal year. Information was provided at the news conference at which the Governor announced the creation of the Phase n contingency salary fund that the State Board of Regents was not included on the list because the State Board had been informed that the Regents could sequester their $18,000,000 portion in a manner in which they themselves would determine. However, your representatives appearing before the Fiscal Committee denied that they have sequestered any money from their budgeted amount.
After listening to the State Board of Regents • presentation during the Fiscal Committee meeting, members of the Fiscal Committee were confused about the

differing statements from the State Board of Regents and the Governor's Office, and ~· they brought these concerns to the Legislative Council meeting. The Legislative
Council took action based upon their request.
The Legislative Council would appreciate receiving a reply to the request for information prior to its next meeting which is scheduled for October 16, 1991.
