Memorandum <br />40 To: Finance Committee <br />From: Jerry F. Kenny, Executive Director <br />Date: October 3, 2007 <br />Subject: Budget Reallocations among Tasks to Fund WEST, Inc. Continuing <br />Services Contract <br />There is one set of budget reallocations requiring review by the Finance Committee at <br />this time. <br />for continuing services for Dale and other members of WEST, Inc. staff. This contract is <br />primarily an extension for Task S -1, Interim Executive Director. The contract has been <br />executed, and establishes a fee maximum of $75,000. To accommodate this fee, a budget <br />reallocation is required but no budget increase s necessary. <br />Of the $75,000, a portion ($25,000) is the fee for Task WC -2, Analysis of CA Collected <br />Whooping Crane Monitoring Data. This fee was already assigned to WEST, Inc, and this <br />contract simply extends the time frame for completion of that work. There is no budget <br />reallocation associated with this item. <br />The remaining $50,000 is to allow on -going support to the Executive Director's Office by <br />Dale Strickland and other members of his staff during the period of transition from <br />October 2007 through March 2008. To provide this amount, available funds were <br />identified by Dale Strickland, Clayton Derby, and Jerry Kenny in three other tasks. These <br />tasks were: <br />1. Task S -2, Project Administrative Services Assistance <br />The available budget of $55,000 can be reduced to $17,000, providing $38,000 <br />for reallocation. <br />2. Task S -3, Recruit and Hire ED <br />The available budget of $6,688 can be reduced to $688, providing $6,000 for <br />reallocation. <br />Task TP -1, Tern and Plover Report <br />The available budget of $20,000 can be reduced to $14,000, providing $6,000 for <br />reallocation. <br />Reallocation as described above, provides funds for the WEST, Inc. Continuing Services <br />contract while leaving sufficient funds in Tasks S -2, S -3, and TP -1 to accommodate any <br />remaining activity that might be associated with these tasks. <br />• <br />
