BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT Consideration of the Proposed 2008 CBCOG Budget Mr. Brent Ocker, Chairman of the 2008 Budget Committee made this report. He noted that seven out of the ten members were present to discuss the proposed budget at a meeting on November 29, 2007. He explained that the proposed budget for calendar year 2008 would have a fund balance at the end of 2008 that would increase by $60, 000 over the next 12 month period and that this amount was well within the CBCOG' s established policy regarding fund balances. He noted that the increase was somewhat due to the fact that a State Planning Assistance Grant was re-instituted in the last session of the legislature after a 4 or 5 year absence. Mr. Ocker stated the budget was a good one but there were several highlighted portions in his written report that needed CBCOG consideration in the approval process. The proposed budget included the highlighted items he was going to report on as being recommended by the Budget Committee. He reported that the budget included a $5, 000 payment to the Corporation for Texas Regionalism for membership in 2007/2008. The budget committee wanted the CBCOG to continue its membership in this corporation since it very likely had a role in the re-institution of the State Planning Assistance 'Nd S£:Z qP pauano Cpe SPM buTlaaw atp 'ssauTsnq aatpin; ou buTaq eaatTy N2Inorav '9 • -quasaad asolp oq pagngTaqsTp aaai saantgooaq wieaboad -matp oq aZgpiTpAp aza qpIp. sei itmgaoddo pua sioadsu pazTuaapow pup paAo.zduiT aiTn woal gTJauaq pinoo supaagaA sPxay qP1p.
