Typically, the schedule for development, <br />review, revision and approval of the annual work plan for a single, out-year, is setup SO as to <br />identify a "bottom line" for the work plan and budget by about January, with approval of the <br />detailed plan to follow in the spring during the AMWG's normally scheduled March meetings. <br />Unfortunately, owing to the many pending planning activities, this schedule has been somewhat <br />delayed in the past several years owing to the uncertainty associated with not having approved <br />core-monitoring and research plans completed. <br />For the FY 2006 work plan and budget, additional uncertainties (and thereby, additional <br />delays) have forced the development and approval process well into the summer of2005. A <br />future hope is that a two-year work plan and budget can start being developed at an earlier <br />scheduled (presumably, this would start in summer 2005 for a combined FY 2007-08 work plan <br />and budget) once major components of the Strategic Science Implementation Plan (SSIP) are <br />finalized and approved by AMWG in the corning months. <br />For infomlation about other GCD-MIP administrative activities, the budget and the <br />Programmatic Agreement, please contact Mr. Dennis Kubly at the Bureau of Reclamation, Salt <br />Lake City, Utah. <br /> <br />Bud!!et Review and Approval Process <br />GCMRC recognizes the critical need for the Technical and Adaptive Management <br />Workgroups to be involved in the science programming, planning and budget process. <br />Following extensive discussions between the GCMRC staff and various ad hoc groups of the <br />Technical Workgroup, a third revision of the work plan and budget has been prepared and <br />distributed to the TWG members. The GCMRC will seek a motion from the TWG at its summer <br />2005 meeting, as a recommendation supporting the proposed activities described in the FY 2006, <br />that will then be forwarded from the TWG to the AMWG during summer 2005. Ultimately, a <br />final recommendation for implementation of the work plan will be sought by the TWG from the <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft, June 10,2005) <br />
