Recommended budgets: FY07: $120,000 | FY08: $120,000 | FY09: $120,000
Comment: OSPIT Supports implementation of this project but will continue to look for savings associated with the participation by the managers and the districts through project 200721700. OSPIT believes both projects should be funded at a combined level of $300,000.
