A guarantee of minimum maintenance of local government tax levy financial participation at current levels.

(c)

A system of incentives to promote the maximization of alternative funding sources including but not limited to contract income and charitable contributions.

An evaluation of the relationship between net deficit funded programs and other non-residential programs, excluding day treatment, and a determination whether or not to incorporate the funding of all such programs into a unified funding methodology.

(e)

Information relating to a demonstration project undertaken by the office in certain developmental disabilities services offices to examine possible modifications in the use of medical assistance funding for programs and services pursuant to the provisions of a federal grant. Such information shall include specific recommendations for applying the results of such demonstration project to programs and services operated by voluntary providers.

(f)

An examination of the implications of department of mental hygiene consolidated fiscal reporting process and an incorporation, as appropriate, of such implications into the formulation of recommendations.
