14. SVRS Budget Baker Tilly • As SOS and IED mentioned during the July 2009 – June 2011 State budgeting process, the federal HAVA funding has run out for supporting the SVRS Program • The General Assembly’s approval of the July 2011 – June 2013 SVRS Budget will largely dictate what SVRS support services that SOS and IED can offer counties between July 2011 and June 2013 • Similar to the economic situation at the local government level, SOS and IED will be facing some obstacles with getting the full SVRS funding approval • As counties do future budgeting, Counties should keep in mind that various services may be unavailable or diminished starting July 2011, including: • SVRS Network Connectivity for Counties requesting State-provided network connectivity • Training • County Outreach • Counties should also budget for SVRS hardware maintenance and replacement since the equipment is 5+ years old • Please see two SVRS budget memos sent to counties back in early August for additional information
