Justification for Budget()

Justification for Estimate Revenue:
2016-2017 TOTAL Expected Revenue
Fall Expected (based on projections)
Spring Expected (based on past years,
low estimate)
$ 174,570.00
$ 93,170.00
$
81,400.00
Fall estimate is based upon the fall numbers that number was received from Beth
Spring estimate is based on lowest year (spring 15 and 16) for what Kat have (spring 15 and 16)
Justification for Estimate Carryforward:
Carryforward amount is included unallocated fund and estimate of unused fund of this year.
Those estimate may vary.
Justification for Printer Expenses:
Printer amount will reduce because we do not pay any more lease payment after July. The
amount expenses reduce by $5000. Because, we will have two printers in main campus instead
one printer and GSA will pay more on services expenses.
Justification for OM Budget
The increase in the OM budget is to give our OMS a raise - $12 an hour and Lead OM at $14
with a goal of eventually paying our OMs $15 an hour and Lead OM $17 an hour. This is in
keeping with the NYS raise in the minimum wage as well as the schedule of implementation.
This year they would get a $2 raise then a $1 raise in 17-18, 18-19, and 19-20 which would get
us to the $15 and $17 an hour. This will also ensure that Graduate Students see this job as a
good choice and able to support them in some way while they work on their degree.
Justification for LAD Line
This year we took the money from the President’s discretionary line to cover the lunch at the
training and it would have paid for a debrief dinner but people were unable to attend so it was
canceled. With the expected increase in attendance, we thought it would be better to have a
separate line for this event.
