          (1) The appropriations are based on the budgeted expenditure of $20,641,810 for vessel operating fuel in the 1989-91 biennium.  If the actual cost of fuel is less than this budgeted amount, the excess amount shall not be expended.  If the actual cost exceeds this amount, it is the intent of the legislature that the department will request a supplemental appropriation.

          (2) In the event that revenues available to the ferry system fund are not sufficient to fund the expenditures necessary for the operation and maintenance of the state ferry system, the department may transfer funds from the Puget Sound ferry operations account to the ferry system fund for this purpose;  however the total amount transferred may not exceed $51,501,250 and the total amount expended shall not exceed the total ferry system fund appropriation of $171,412,357.

          (3) The appropriation contained in this section provides for the compensation of ferry employees, including increases.  The expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees during the 1989-91 biennium shall not exceed $112,616,582 plus a dollar amount, as prescribed by the office of financial management, which is equal to any insurance benefit increase granted general government employees in excess of $232.63 a month annualized per eligible marine employee multiplied by the number of eligible marine employees for fiscal year 1990 and a dollar amount as prescribed by the office of financial management for salary increases during the 1989-91 biennium.  For the purposes of this section, the expenditures for compensation paid to ferry employees shall be limited to salaries and wages and employee benefits as defined in the office of financial management's policies, regulations, and procedures named under objects of expenditure "A" and "L" (7.2.6.2).  Of the $112,616,582 provided for compensation, plus the prescribed insurance benefit and salary increase dollar amount:

          (a) The maximum dollar amount which shall be allocated from the governor's compensation salary appropriation is in addition to the appropriation contained in this section and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1990;

          (b) The prescribed insurance benefit increase dollar amount which shall be allocated from the governor's compensation insurance benefits appropriation is in addition to the appropriation contained in this section and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective July 1, 1989;

          (c) The maximum dollar amount which shall be allocated from the governor's compensation salary appropriation is in addition to the appropriation contained in this section and shall be used to maintain any 1989-90 compensation increase and may be used to increase compensation costs, effective January 1, 1991.

          In no event may the June 30, 1990, hourly salary rate increase exceed any average hourly salary rate increase granted during the 1989-90 fiscal year.

          In no event may the June 30, 1991, hourly salary rate increase exceed any salary rate increase granted during the 1990-91 fiscal year.

          (4) The department of transportation shall provide the legislative transportation committee with a monthly report concerning the status of this program.
