2.3 CURRENT EXPENDITURES AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

I

Table 2 shows a budgetary level estimate of average historic expenditures for storm water
management related activities by the five entities in the Grand Valley. The costs in this table are
averages of past years, but are believed to be representative of the "status quo" or current level of
funding. These are budgetary level numbers (plus or minus 35%) for general comparison
purposes.

(Note: level of funding should not be confused with Level of Services although they are both
reflective of the ability of an entity to respond to stormwater related problems.)
