THE BUDGET AT A GLANCE

Gov. George Deukmejian on Thursday proposed a $39-billion budget for 1987-88. Some details:

THE BOTTOM LINE

Overall, the budget is 1.8% larger than the current budget, the lowest year-to-year increase since Deukmejian took office in 1983. The $39-billion spending plan grows to $54.2 billion when federal funds that flow to the state are included. The budget calls for no general tax increases and falls $80 million below a spending limit imposed by voters in 1979.

RESERVES

An estimated $1.03 billion is set aside for fiscal emergencies. Because of an unexpected drop in some government revenues and higher-than-expected expenditures, the governor expects to end this fiscal year with about $560 million left in the reserve fund.

STATE EMPLOYEES

A total of 4,300 positions would be added to the state’s 236,156-member work force. More than 2,500 of those are in the Youth and Adult Correctional Agency, which is undertaking a massive prison expansion program. Money is set aside to give state employees a 3% pay raise but not until next Jan. 1.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

The university’s $2.2-billion budget is 5.6% higher than the current year’s to provide for 3,300 new students, bringing total enrollment to 150,000. Student fees would also be going up $130 for undergraduates and $70 for graduate students in the first fee increases since 1983-84. It also allows for 3% faculty pay raises.

CAL STATE UNIVERSITIES

A total of $1.7 billion would be spent on state universities, a 5.5% increase proposed to deal with 7,700 new students at 19 campuses. Total enrollment will grow to 340,000. Student fees would go up by 10% or $57 a year to a total of $630 for full-time students. Faculty salaries would be raised by 3%.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

The 106 community college campuses would receive $1.9 billion, a 4.4% increase. A $50-a-semester student fee would continue to be required at least until June 30, 1988.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Kindergarten through 12th-grade schools would receive $15.5 billion, a 4.5% increase that includes $493 million expected to flow from the California Lottery. After vetoing a measure to shrink class sizes last year, the governor has proposed that $60 million be spent over two years to reduce average first-grade class size to 22 students from the current 28. The money would come from cuts in six special programs ranging from gifted student education to early Indian childhood programs.

NATURAL RESOURCES

In all, $1.2 billion would be spent on a variety of recreation and natural resource programs. The daily fee for campgrounds, reservoirs and day-use facilities would increase an average of $2.

STATE PRISONS

It will cost $1.4 billion to handle a burgeoning population of felons. That is a 10.3% increase over the current year, driven primarily by plans to hire 2,500 new employees. Space for nearly 5,000 new prisoners will be added over the next year, but prisons will remain overcrowded for the foreseeable future.

TOXIC WASTES

About $280 million would be spent on a variety of toxic cleanup and prevention programs, including $32 million to deal with repair and cleanup of leaking underground storage tanks and to rid public facilities of cancer-causing asbestos. The budget, however, contains no money to implement Proposition 65, the anti-toxics measure approved by voters in November. Deukmejian said he will add the necessary funding later.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

More than $7 million is set aside to double the state’s force of narcotics agents, along with $3.8 million to crack down on clandestine drug laboratories. The highly successful Cal ID program that helped catch the Nightstalker suspect would be bolstered by an additional $4.4 million. Money also would be set aside to continue the state’s campaign against marijuana planting.

HEALTH

A 5.5% cut in the state’s $5-billion Medi-Cal program is called for in an attempt to deal with record growth in medical services to the poor. Funding for the state’s cancer registry program, which tracks the incidence of cancer in each county, would be doubled to $5.4 million. The budget for AIDS research and treatment would grow by $600,000 to a total of $21.9 million.

TRANSPORTATION

An additional 400 employees would be hired to bolster highway building efforts. A total of $3.2 billion is set aside for all transportation programs, including $41.4 million for several rail systems, such as additional train service between Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara.

WELFARE

A total of $7.5 billion would be spent on a variety of social services programs, including $45.5 million, or a 28% increase, for child welfare. As many as 56 counties are expected to begin implementing the state’s new workfare program by the end of the year, encompassing 200,000 to 300,000 able-bodied recipients of Aid to Families With Dependent Children.

LOCAL AID

A variety of programs would be shifted back to local government, including family planning, rural health and dental health. More than $30 million would also be saved by ending state requirements that local government provide specific kinds of health and welfare programs. Responsibility for the state’s occupational safety program would be returned to the federal government.
