3111  PROGRAM MAINTENANCE PROPOSAL DETAIL

The detail of the PMP projection does not incorporate any increased level of 
support.  It merely expresses current-year staffing and levels for operating 
expenses and equipment, adjusted as described below.  This maintenance 
projection is BPA's best estimate of how much it would cost, assuming 
inflation, salary and benefit increases, etc., to run (i.e., maintain) the same 
program next year as was run during the current year.  New staffing and/or 
changes in operating expenses and equipment expenditure levels are left to 
the discretion of each campus, within the guidelines for each fund shown in 
SUAM Appendices BA 3913-BPA and BA 3914-BPA.  It should be noted that 
all expenditure increases must be funded from the current revenues 
incorporated in the projection.  The extent to which increases may be 
budgeted is reflected in the last line of the projection for each fund, which is 
labeled:

Totals, Surplus (+) or Deficit (-), June 30

Any request for new staffing or for an increase in operating expenses and 
equipment must be funded from this "surplus."  Conversely, if this item 
shows a deficit amount (minus), the current level of expenditures must be 
reduced accordingly.
