Agency History

The Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission was created in 1989 (Senate Bill 112, 71st Legislature, Regular Session) to reduce state spending, increase state revenues, improve the quality of state services, and recognize the contributions of state employees and agencies. It was formed by the merger of the Texas State Employee Incentive Commission and the Texas Productivity and Bonus Commission, each of which administered one of the following two programs.

The State Employee Incentive Program was created in 1985 (House Bill 473, 69th Legislature, Regular Session). It awards cash bonuses to state employees in executive and judicial agencies. Employees whose suggestions result in net annual savings or increase in revenues of $100 or more are eligible to receive 10 percent of the net savings or revenue increase, up to a maximum of $5,000. From 1985 to 1989 this program was administered by the Texas State Employee Incentive Commission, which was composed of nine members: the state auditor, the comptroller, the treasurer, the administrator of the Texas Employment Commission, the executive director of the Department of Labor and Standards, the executive director of the Legislative Budget Board, and three public members with experience administrating incentive programs in private industry (one each appointed by the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the house).

The Productivity Bonus Program was created in 1986 (Senate Bill 13, 69th Legislature, 3rd Called Session). It rewards agencies and employees for developing plans to reduce overtime, consultant fees, budgeted positions, travel, printing, or mailing costs; to increase energy efficiency; or to improve office procedures/systems. The reward is a percentage of the savings, up to a maximum of $1,000. From 1986 to 1989 this program was administered by the Texas Productivity Bonus Commission, which was composed of nine members: the state auditor, the comptroller, the director of the Legislative Budget Board, a classification officer appointed under the Position Classification Act of 1961, a member of the governor's staff, an officer or employee of a political subdivision of the state, and three public members with experience in administrating incentive pay programs in private industry (one each appointed by the governor, the lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the house).

The Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission is composed of eight members: three public members with experience administrating bonus and incentive programs used in private industry; these members are appointed by the governor with the advise and consent of the senate for overlapping two-year terms; the governor (or his/her designated representative), who serves as chair; the lieutenant governor (or his/her designated representative); the comptroller (or his/her designated representative); the chairperson of the Higher Education Coordinating Board (or his/her designated representative); and the administrator of the Texas Workforce Commission (formerly the Texas Employment Commission).

From 1990 to 1996, the commission was composed of nine members, including the state treasurer (a position abolished by constitutional amendment in 1996). The commission appoints an executive director.


Scope and Contents of the Records

These records include agenda, minutes, administrative correspondence, reports, summaries of minutes, agenda documents, and audio cassettes, dating 1988-2001 (bulk 1992-1998). They comprise the open meeting documents, the administrative correspondence, and reports and studies of the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission, 1990-2001. Materials also document the meetings of one of the Commission's predecessor agencies, the Texas State Employee Incentive Commission, 1988-1989.

Agenda, minutes, and summaries of minutes provide concise summaries of the work accomplished at each meeting of the Incentive and Productivity Commission. Fuller documentation is found in agenda documents and audio cassettes. This work includes the following: consideration of state employee suggestions for approval, consideration of productivity plans for approval, consideration of proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules, and reports on administrative matters (e.g., agency strategic plan, monthly financial reports, recent publicity, etc.). A typical agenda document for the State Employee Incentive Program would include a suggestion form, an agency approval form, an eligibility and cost/revenue analysis, a technical expert's evaluation (including measurable savings/revenue and feasibility analysis), interoffice memoranda, newspaper clippings, etc. A typical agenda document for the Productivity Bonus Program would include a plan submission form, a staff evaluation, and a team plan addendum.

Correspondence, incoming reports, and related attachments, passed between the commission, a wide variety of Texas state agencies, and a few private organizations, documenting the commission's administrative interactions with those bodies. The materials focus on administrative matters, such as open records requests, preparations for the year 2000 (Y2K), ethics, audits, staffing, resources, procedures, and the preparation of financial statements, reports, and budgets.

A number of outgoing reports, on the other hand, do concern the commission's primary purpose of considering state employee suggestions, productivity plans, proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules, and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules. The documents record the amounts of money saved through the suggestion process, the numbers of those making suggestions, participation by agency size, and other assorted statistics. The remaining outgoing and the few internal reports are, like the incoming reports, administrative in nature.

To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

Restrictions

Restrictions on Access

According to the Texas Public Information Act, home addresses, telephone numbers and other personal information of state employees found in the series Administrative correspondence may be restricted (Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, Section 117) and must be redacted by Archives staff before the public may be allowed access to the materials.

According to the Texas Public Information Act, Sections 552.136 and 552.117, the American Express report found in the series Reports and studies is restricted due to the presence of state credit card account numbers and employee social security numbers. The documents must be redacted before the public will be allowed access.

Restrictions on Use

The reference staff of the State Archives will provide an audio cassette player to researchers wanting to listen to the Open meeting audio cassettes, 1988-1994. Because of the probable fragility of the cassette tapes, researchers are urged to first consult the other series described in this finding aid: Agenda and summaries of minutes, and/or Open meeting documents.

Some documents in the series of Administrative correspondence and Reports and studies must be redacted by Archives staff before the public will be allowed access.

Detailed Description of the Records

 

Agenda and summaries of minutes, 1990-2001,
0.48 cubic ft.

These records include copies of agenda, minutes, and summaries of minutes, dating 1990-2001. They comprise the most basic documents for meetings of the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission. They summarize the work accomplished at each meeting, including the following: consideration of state employee suggestions for approval, consideration of productivity plans for approval, consideration of proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules, and reports on administrative matters (e.g., agency strategic plan, monthly financial reports, recent publicity, etc.). For each item on the agenda, the summary of minutes gives a brief description, the names of commissioners who made and seconded the motion, any dissent, and whether the motion passed. For employee suggestions submitted to the State Employee Incentive Program, information includes the agency, the name of the employee, the number assigned to the suggestion, and a brief description. Meetings in 1990 contain minutes, which are slightly more detailed than the summaries of minutes that begin in 1991.

Open meeting documents, 1992-1998,
4.5 cubic ft.

Types of records include agenda, agenda documents, and summaries of minutes. These records comprise the supporting documentation for meetings of the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission, dating 1992-1998. They explain in detail the work accomplished at each meeting, including the following: consideration of state employee suggestions for approval, consideration of productivity plans for approval, consideration of proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules, and reports on administrative matters (e.g., agency strategic plan, monthly financial reports, recent publicity, etc.). A typical agenda document for the State Employee Incentive Program would include a suggestion form, an agency approval form, an eligibility and cost/revenue analysis, a technical expert's evaluation (including measurable savings/revenue and feasibility analysis), interoffice memoranda, newspaper clippings, etc. A typical agenda document for the Productivity Bonus Program would include a plan submission form, a staff evaluation, and a team plan addendum.
The series Agenda and summaries of minutes, while duplicating part of the documentation in the series Open meeting documents, provides a more convenient and briefer look at the work accomplished at each meeting, and is the main source for meetings dating 1990-1991 and 1999-2000.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

Open meeting audio cassettes, 1988-1994,
0.5 cubic ft.

These records are audio cassettes of meetings of the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission, dating 1990-1994, and of meetings of one of the two predecessor agencies, the Texas State Employee Incentive Commission, dating 1988-1989. State Archives staff has not listened to any of the audio cassettes, and cannot therefore comment on the quality of the recordings.
For the earlier meetings, those of the State Employee Incentive Commission, 1988-1989, the cassettes are apparently the only extant documentation. The meetings of the Incentive and Productivity Commission are summarized in Agenda and summaries of minutes, 1990-2000, and are more fully documented in Open meeting documents, 1992-1998.

Administrative correspondence, 1988-2000,
2.47 cubic ft.

Records comprise administrative correspondence, memoranda, and printed materials, dating 1988-2000, of the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission and one of its predecessor agencies, the Texas State Employee Incentive Commission. Correspondence and related attachments (predominantly incoming) passed between the commission, a wide variety of Texas state agencies, and a few private organizations, documenting the commission's administrative interactions with those bodies. Little of the correspondence concerns the commission's primary purpose of considering state employee suggestions, productivity plans, proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules, and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules. Instead, the correspondence focuses on administrative matters, such as open records requests, preparations for the year 2000 (Y2K), ethics, audits, staffing, resources, procedures, and the preparation of financial statements, reports, and budgets.
Arrangement
These records are generally arranged in alphabetical order by agency name in several runs. Within each agency the files are usually in reverse chronological order. A few miscellaneous files preceed the agency files, while the files of private organizations generally follow at the end.

Reports and studies, 1989-2000,
2.24 cubic ft.

Records comprise the reports and studies, with related correspondence, collected and issued by the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission [TIPC] and its predecessor, the State Employee Incentive Commission [SEIC], from 1989 to 2000. The incoming reports were sent by a variety of Texas state agencies, documenting the commission's administrative interactions with those bodies. Few such reports concern the commission's primary purpose of considering state employee suggestions, instead, they focus on administrative matters, such as ethics, audits, staffing, resources, procedures, and the preparation of financial statements, reports, and budgets.
A number of outgoing reports, on the other hand, do concern the commission's purpose of considering state employee suggestions, productivity plans, proposed changes to Productivity Bonus Program rules, and/or State Employee Incentive Program rules. The materials document the amounts of money saved, the numbers of those making suggestions, participation by agency size, and other assorted statistics. The remaining outgoing and internal reports are, like the incoming reports, administrative in nature.
Arrangement
These records are arranged in the order in which they arrived, first by incoming reports, then by outgoing and a few internal reports.
