Total FY 2001 budget request	$65,303
FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$100,000
% change from forecast	-34.7%

Reason for change in estimated budget

Budget for FY2001 is less than forecasted in 1998, 1999 and 2000 due to the fact that BPA has requested that the Focus Watershed budget include only salary and operating expenses. Any implementation or project dollars should be incorporated in project 9101901. Because of this fact, no construction/implementation was incorporated into this budget.

This ongoing project was originally budgeted within project proposal #24018. Due to the fact that BPA has not funded the new portions of this proposal to date, we have broken out the ongoing activities and the appropriate budget amount for submission.
