[0] A [Action Plan] Decrease base budget personnel costs by $1M through stronger fiscal controls on hiring that directly restrict expenditures to levels consistent with current and predicted revenue. early separation incentives coupled with replacement at a lower salary level and/or unit reorganization for efficiencies, which would be marked by fewer overall FTE and/or lower paid positions. [Outcomes] 
We do not have a structural deficit, and we are on track to have a balanced budget for FY 2012, hopefully without layoffs. Our approach has been three fold: We tightened fiscal controls with much closer control over all hiring. In addition, we used more conservative assumptions in the budget planning process. We decreased base budget through hiring restrictions, early separation incentives, reorganizations, and energy refits. We gave 27 BESIs and 10 enhanced contractual ESIs since Spring 09. The total net base decrease at this time is approximately $1M. Energy costs decreased by $395,000 or 17% since the last fiscal year.
