Homepage Programs Shifting Gears After several years of low profit levels and uncertain prospects for the future, some farmers are now looking for off-farm employment opportunities. In fact, in the 1999 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll, 96% of those responding said more farm families would rely on off-farm work in the years ahead. If you or your spouse are considering a non-farm job, or are thinking about transitioning to another career, Shifting Gears can help you review your skills, aptitudes, and abilities. Likely, you have skills and aptitudes, which are transferable to another occupation. Perhaps with a boost of self-confidence gained from reviewing your skills, and help in writing that application (cover letter) or resume , you will find a position that provides money to support family expenses and an opportunity for personal growth. You may also find that with some additional training you would be successful in the information technology or skilled labor fields. Farm Focus This program helps individuals make the transition from farming to other productive employment through a retraining program. Farmers can obtain assistance to refine current skills and identify new ones to help them lead productive, fulfilling lives after leaving the farm operation.

Government Performance Project '99/Report Card as the state upgrades and integrates its financial management system CAPITAL management B Back in fiscal 1996, iowa established the Rebuild iowa Infrastructure http://governing.com/gpp/1999/gp9ia.htm
Extractions: Main introduction page Governing home page Report Card: Iowa FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: A- In just about all areas of finance, Iowa hews to the line of careful, well-thought-out planning. Any surpluses go to the state's rainy day fund until it is fully stocked at 5 percent of general fund revenues (as it is now). Expenditures are well in line with revenues, even as the state has been on a prison-building spree. Agencies have a reasonable amount of flexibility to handle their budgets, although they do need gubernatorial permission to transfer money from one program to the other. Budgeters are looking forward to more useful financial information in the near future as the state upgrades and integrates its financial management system. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: B- Back in fiscal 1996, Iowa established the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund, and began stocking it with about $120 million a year. But the State Auditor's Office has criticized decisions to spend some of the money on technology and operations and not on buildings as is required by law. In the current fiscal year, $80.1 million out of a $128.9 million fund is going to new capital. Iowa has done a good job at planning and tracking new projects. The state has a five-year plan, but the real focus is the governor's recommendation for the biennium. The Department of Capital Services prepares an annual status report for ongoing capital projects over $250,000, and it is evaluated by the Department of Management and by the governor based on set criteria. Projects have generally come in on time and on budget.

Extractions: Search: The State of Iowa imports 97 percent of its energy, giving it a strong incentive to promote energy efficiency. State investment in energy management can reduce public sector expenses, stimulate the development of jobs and expertise in the local energy services industry, as well as reduce Iowa's dependence on imported energy. The State of Iowa's Department of Natural Resources (DNR), therefore, established an ambitious Building Energy Management Program to install all energy management improvements with an average payback of 6 years in all public and non-profit facilities statewide by 1995. The DNR predicted such a program would require a $300 million investment, create energy savings of $50 to $60 million a year, and result in the creation of 12,000 person years of employment. The DNR established two initiatives to implement this Program: To facilitate energy management improvements in state agencies, it set up the State of Iowa Facilities Improvement Corporation (SIFIC), which finances and installs energy efficiency equipment. The initial $12 million in capital for this program came from the sale of state "energy conservation bonds". The agency pays for energy management equipment through a lease-purchase arrangement with SIFIC. To facilitate energy management improvements in state hospitals, schools, and local governments, the DNR developed separate Energy Bank Programs. Through these programs, a regional lending institution provides a pool of capital for energy retrofits. Individual schools, hospitals and local government facilities repay the bank through a flexible lease purchase agreement.

Extractions: State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program Iowas drinking water state revolving fund (SRF) program makes loans to drinking water systems for design and construction to ensure public health and provide safe drinking water. IDNR has established priorities for the SRF, and will publish them each year in its Intended Use Plan (IUP). The IUP will propose uses of money and describe how each project will be managed. IDNR has prepared scoring criteria to address health risks, rule compliance, and infrastructure needs, including criteria for loan eligibility. The criteria uses a point system based on Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) violations, system vulnerability, infrastructure improvement needs, population, and design deficiencies. Our next step is to get you to tell us about your drinking water system needs. Note that if your water system plans a drinking water project in the next five years, you will need to provide the following items.
