BUDGET AMENDMENT
- Budget Amendment #1 - McKenzie River Land Trust
Donation Project, Environmental Management, Corporate
Services. EWEB is planning to grant
$500,000 to a land trust and pledge up to $500,000 as a matching
grant for contributions to the trust from others. When the 2000
budget was developed, it was assumed that the pledged $500,000
would be distributed by EWEB when te match was raised, likely to
be in future years. Since then, the McKenzie River Trust has been
identified as a land trust organization capable of using the grant
to purchase property to further EWEB's watershed protection
objectives. Negotiations on a grant agreement are complete. The
agreement calls for $1,000,000 to be transferred to the Oregon
Community Foundation, a non-profit foundation holding, managing
and dispersing funds for numerous non-profit organizations in
Oregon. The $1,000,000 would be distributed equally into two
separate funds, the first, a Revolving Fund would be used for
acquisitions; the second, a Matching Fund, would hold funds until
matched by cash, when they would be transferred into the Revolving
Fund. Money would come from Capital Improvement Reserves. Contact
person is Laurie Power, 484-2411, ext. 3313.
The McKenzie River Trust is planning a fundraising
drive shortly after the award of the EWEB grant to raise monies to
match EWEB's second grant.
This arrangement meets the Board's direction for
an irrevocable donation and frees EWEB from the responsibility of
managing the Matching Fund.

- Budget Amendment #2 - Benefits Costs - Human
Resources, Corporate Services. The
assumption for the budgeted sick leave amount in the year 2000 was
based on 60 hours per employee, but the projected hours per
employee are tracking closer to 67 hours per year. In addition,
there was almost $51,000 paid out in sick leave at retirement to
employees through April, and we project another $30,000 paid out
for additional retirements during the year.
