<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"Thank you, Colonel. <br /> <br />All those in favor of the motion signify <br />by saying 'aye'; opposed - the motion is <br />carried. <br /> <br />Now we come to the <br />budget for FY 1970-71. <br />cuss this? We all have <br />in front of us." <br /> <br />nuts and bolts. The <br />Larry, will you dis- <br />a copy of the budget <br /> <br />"I apologize that we did not get the <br />budget out before this meeting. We had a <br />couple of hangups. First the federal budget, <br />which is always included in our book, was not <br />available until just before Christmas. As <br />you know, the Congress was a little late this <br />year and did not get the appropriation bill <br />to the President until December. Secondly, <br />the bids for our covers were placed by the <br />State purchasing Agent and the first printing <br />company that got the bid went out of business. <br />It wasn't our order that caused this. The <br />bid had to be let again and we didn't actually <br />get the covers until last week. So we just <br />got the book completed yesterday. <br /> <br />The total budget is for $596,000, of <br />which $63,000 would be from federal funds. <br />The state budget actually is about $533,000 <br />which carries our program on at about the <br />same level as we have carried it for some <br />years, with the increase being due primarily <br />to inflationary trends. Our cooperative pro- <br />gram with the federal agencies has increased, <br />because there have been increased federal <br />salaries and increased federal costs. The <br />same is true with state government - the <br />costs keep increasing. <br /> <br />The Board will recall that last year we <br />received a substantial budgetary cut of <br />approximately $90,000. We have asked that <br />that be restored for the coming year. <br />
