Iowa Charter Agencies - Results
DHS
- As a result of Child Welfare Redesign, stays in shelter care
have been reduced by 20% or 10 days. This means that children
are moving more quickly to the most appropriate level of care or
are able to return home. Either way, kids are better off and we
have more money to serve others.
- 33% more low-income children now have access to health care
coverage via the hawk-i program (July 1, 2003 to
Dec. 31, 2005).
- The first quarter DHS implemented their Preferred Drug List
for Medicaid prescription drugs Iowa saved $1.7 million.
(January-March, 2005)
- Increased the number of eligible Iowans receiving food and
nutrition benefits by 69,000 (a 44% increase) in the last two
and a half years.
- Increased Title IV-E eligibility (for child welfare
services) from 28% in June, 2003 to over 45% in March, 2006.
This increase means we are able to leverage more federal funds
to serve more kids and families who need help.
DNR
- Reduced turnaround time for air quality construction permits
from 62 to 6 days and eliminated a backlog of 600 in six months
- Reduced turnaround time for wastewater construction permits
from 28 months to 4.5 months.
- Reduced the turnaround time for landfill permits from 187 to
30 days.
- Reduced the time for corrective action decisions on leaking
underground storage tanks from 1,124 days to 90 days.
All the above reductions were accomplished without sacrificing
environmental standards or quality.
- In FY04, Pollution Prevention Interns helped Iowa companies
save more than $2.2 million through the adoption of
environmental efficiencies. Savings in FY05 reached $4.1
million.
Veterans Home
- Reduced by 40% the number of residents who have moderate to
severe pain. Nine percent now experience this pain, compared to
15.5% in FY03.
- The Veterans Home compares itself to other long-term care
facilities in Iowa using 32 Quality Indicators. We started FY04
with 55% of those measures exceeding the performance of other
facilities. The most recent performance (end of FY06) shows the
Veterans Home exceeding others in 66% of those measures.
- The Iowa Veterans Home has improved their admissions
process. In FY04, 69% of admissions were completed within 30
days. That rate has now increased to 90%.
Corrections
- More probationers are successfully completing their
probation periods; we reduced the failure rate by 17%.
- Effective services to inmates provided by Corrections have
resulted in an increase in recommendations for release to the
Parole Board by 5% over the comparable period a year ago.
- Overall inmate labor experience (in hours) on community
service projects is up 7% through the first three quarters of
FY05. The increase for women inmates during this time period was
24%.
- Provided good work experiences for 50% more women inmates
than before Charter Agencies, while reducing operating costs by
$700,000 per year. Women inmate work experiences are also
increasing because Corrections and Administrative Services are
partnering in printing, meaning that new printing work will be
done at Mitchellville. This development also shows synergy
between Charter Agencies and Entrepreneurial Management at DAS.
Revenue
- Improved the rate of income tax returns filed electronically
from 55% to 67%.
- Improved the rate of individual income tax refunds issued
within 45 days from 75% to 94%.
Alcoholic Beverages Division
- Increased alcoholic beverages-related General Fund revenue
by $9.7 million in FY04 through variable wholesale pricing,
increasing investment in supplier-discounted products, and
decreasing operating expenses. FY05 revenue increased by $11.6
million over the FY03 baseline.
Achievement of the annual $15 million target for
savings/entrepreneurial revenues:
Charter Agency budget savings/entrepreneurial revenue
contributions for FY04 totaled more than $22 million, exceeding
their $15 million target by close to 50%. $20 million was achieved
in FY05.

Notes: (1) $1,750,000 in Charter Agency grant funds
were initially segregated to help ensure that the project would meet
its overall FY04 $15 million commitment. Hence here $1,550,000 +
$1,750,000 = $3,300,000. Once it was clear that the $15 million
target had been met, these funds were again made available for
grants.
(2) This number includes an $8,000,000
commitment from the Iowa Lottery. At the same time that Charter
Agency legislation was passed in the spring of 2003, the Iowa
Lottery received their own “new deal” via separate legislation. As
part of the legislative negotiations, it was agreed that future
Lottery “total transfers” to the General Fund in excess of the FY03
baseline ($47,970,711) could be counted toward the overall Charter
Agency $15,000,000 goal. The Lottery’s revenue targets and actuals:
