Major Program Changes
  • Delay Science Center Expansion - The Governor's Budget proposes to delay the opening of Phase II - World of Ecology by one year resulting in General Fund savings of $1 million in 2008-09 and $4.1 million in 2009-10.

  • Exposition Park Maintenance and Security - The Governor's Budget includes $1.2 million and 5.7 positions for park maintenance projects and enhanced security staffing.

  • Exposition Park Funding - The Governor's Budget permanently shifts $700,000 General Fund costs for the maintenance of the Science Center and the California African American Museum to the Exposition Park Improvement Fund. This adjustment will make the one-time fund shift in 2008-09 permanent.
