<br />TWG Budget Ad hoc Group <br />GCMRC FY 06 Non-Experimental Budget.nd Work Plan Development <br />Question/Response Table <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />50 F2, if this covers salaries for Program Managers, why are salaries showing up <br />(WAPA) in Project narratives? As example, proiect Cl. Is this double coveral!.e? <br />GCMRC's The GCMRC staff salaries related to accomplishment of the specific projects (not <br />Response to including the non-Program Managers), are associated with the individual project <br />Comment budget tables, as we\l as the net and gross totals shown in the budget spreadsheet. <br />#50 <br />51 Line 147 (TWG/AMWG Participation)-Tbe budget for tbis line is reduced <br />(BAHG) from $46,350 to $17,250. Is the reduction merely a cbange in accounting? If so, <br />where are the reallocated dollars included? <br />GCMRC's In FY06, the salaries associated with AMWGrrWG participation were removed for <br />Response to Program Managers; those salaries are included in Program Planning and <br />Comment Management (line 146). For other personnel, the salary costs are included in their <br />#51 proiect-associated salaries, Ultimately, only travel costs are included for FY06, <br /> Line 148 (Independent Reviews)--Tbere is a reduction from $272,000 to <br />52 $201,250 in this line item. It is not clear to us bow tbese funds are divided <br />(BAHG) between ad boc independent reviews and the Science Advisors. The latter gronp <br />is spending more time assisting GCMRC, TWG and ad hoc groups. We would <br /> like to be assured that thev are adequately funded for this increased effort. <br /> The reduction in funding was initially input in an effort to create more funding for <br />GCMRC's science related activities; ideally, the funding for this item would remain stable or <br />Response to increase, In light of the additional work that has recently (April 2005) been <br />Comment discussed with the Executive Secretary, this project is under funded. GCMRC <br />#52 recommendation: If additional funds should become available in association with a <br />non-experimental version of the plan, a portion ofthe funds should be considercd for <br /> use in covering the Independent Review shortfall, <br />53 Lioe 159 (TCD) - No details on this element (WP page 89) are provided to <br />(Norm justify tbe use of tbe $200K. <br />Henderson) <br />GCMRC's These funds are Section 8 funds under the discretion of the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />Response to We have discussed this line with the HBC ad hoc group and their recommendation is <br />Comment that this be kept below the line of AMP dollars to reduce confusion. These funds are <br />#53 associated with the TCD project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />T, Melis, GCMRC: 4/27/05 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Documen.
