Key Issues
· The Manager’s proposed budget reflects an increase in Operations of 2.92%, due primarily to an increase in the Personnel Agency line item to cover salaries of temporary employees, and a slight increase in the Business Meetings and Training line item to cover estimated expenditures for travel to major conferences.
· No other significant additions or reductions are recommended in the Manager’s proposed budget.
Potential Additions or Reductions
No additions or reductions are proposed for the Manager’s budget.
