Reason for change in estimated budget

1) Increase in CBFWA staff by 1 FTE for coordination and facilitation of subbasin plans under Program amendments 2) I FTE allocated to each tribe/agency (19) for expanded role of Fish and Wildlife Managers in development and completion of subbasin plans under Program amendments. 3) Cost of living increase. 4) The potential of the NWPPC requesting management of the ISAB contract, the CBFWA budget will need to be increased by .45 staff, which was originally allocated to the ISAB contract.

Reason for change in scope

Expanded role of Fish and Wildlife Managers and CBFWA staff's involvement with the development and completion of subbasin plans under the Program amendments and meeting public involvement needs that the region requires..

Comment:

The increase in CBFWA's budget is primarily due to the addition of Section 3, Objectives 1 and 2, which support subbasin planning ($1,520,177). This additional task would be based on the expanded role of Fish and Wildlife Managers and CBFWA staff's involvement with the development and completion of subbasin plans under the Program amendments and meeting public involvement needs that the region requires. The budget shows an increase in CBFWA staff by one FTE for coordination and facilitation of subbasin plans under Program amendments. In addition, one FTE has been allocated to each tribe/agency (19 FTEs) for expanded role of Fish and Wildlife Managers in development and completion of subbasin plans under Program amendments. This proposed amount should be considered a placeholder, as the specific amount needed will be determined through discussions between CBFWA and NWPPC.

Additional cost of living increases have been included. Finally, the potential of the NWPPC requesting management of the ISAB contract would leave .45 FTE of CBFWA staff unfunded which is currently allocated to the ISAB contract.
