Agency: Administrative Services Line Item: Executive Director Function The Executive Director's Office (EDO) provides financial management, strategic planning, organizational development, internal auditing, and public relations for the Department of Administrative Services. While the client base for most state agencies is taxpayers, the primary customers for the Department of Administrative Services are other state agencies. The director helps coordinate inter-agency cooperation on issues such as fleet consolidation, archival procedures, and purchasing guidelines.
Statutory Authority The following sections of the Utah Administrative Services Code (UCA 63A) govern operation of the Executive Director's Office: - UCA 63A-1-105 requires the governor to appoint the executive director with the consent of the Senate
- UCA 63A-1-105.5 gives the executive director rulemaking authority
- UCA 63A-1-106 allows the executive director to accept federal funds and bind the state to the terms of federal assistance
- UCA 63A-1-107 requires the executive director to provide administrative support to the State Building Board and State Building Ownership Authority
- UCA 63A-1-111 requires each division within the department to formulate an annual service plan describing services offered, methods of service delivery, standards of performance, and performance measures
- UCA 63A-1-114 creates a rate committee for the department's internal service funds and requires the executive director or a designee to be a member
- UCA 63A-9-301 requires the executive director or a designee to sit on the Motor Vehicle Review Committee
Intent Language Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Executive Director in Item 13 of Chapter 3 Laws of Utah 2011 not lapse at the close of Fiscal Year 2012. The use of any nonlapsing funds is limited to the following: customer services projects, shared services modeling, internal auditing, website maintenance, and marketing - $78,000; Child Welfare Parental Defense expenses - $27,000. Performance The primary responsibility of the Executive Director's Office is administrative oversight. Administrative overhead should be as low as possible so more dollars can be allocated to service-providing programs. The charts below show expenditures in the EDO divided by department costs.
