Comment on SMART's 2010 Budget Allotment

SMART members,Starting on October 1st we have a new allotment of $203,000 to fund our efforts until Sept. 2010. If you'd like to review and comment on SMART's budget, review the attachment - SMART's Board will approve all spending over $1,000. Please let me know if you agree/disagree with the way the budget is allotted by commenting on our blog or emailing me. Blog: http://smartutahcounty.blogspot.com/.

Budget Highlights

  • 30% ($56,000)of our budget includes variable costs - meaning we can move the money around to fund whatever the coalition believes important (of course, evidence based).
  • 70% ($144,250) of our budget includes fixed costs - meaning the costs cannot be changed. This includes salary for paid staff, rent, administrative expenses, etc.
