The following provisions shall serve as general guidelines for accomplishing executive branch reorganization consistent with the policy and objectives of the state:
I. In order to allow the chief executive to efficiently and effectively implement legislative policy and programs, the governor should be provided with a manageable administrative structure and the authority to direct its operations.
II. The large number of existing executive branch agencies, departments, boards, commissions, authorities and institutions should be significantly reduced by consolidating them into a reasonable number of departments.
III. The consolidation of agencies in the executive branch should be on a functional basis, so that programs can be coordinated and comprehensive planning can be undertaken.
IV. Structural reorganization should be a continuing process through careful executive and legislative appraisal of the placement of proposed new programs, and the coordination of existing programs, in response to changing public needs.
V. There should be a uniform process for administrative appeals to an impartial body provided for each department established following July 1, 1983.
