The Council has a budget agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration for the rate period Fiscal Year 2010 through Fiscal Year 2012. In that agreement, the Council commits to hold budget increases to an average of 3 percent per year. The Council’s Fiscal Year 2010 revised budget of $9,683,000 is 2.3 percent higher than the current year 2009 budget of $9,467,000. The Council’s Fiscal Year 2011 budget has a projected increase of 2.6 percent to $9,934,000. In order to achieve these goals, we are freezing the number of FTEs in the Council budget while accepting expanded work and responsibilities in the region.

The Council is seeking comments on the proposed draft budget. In order to be considered at our July 14-16, 2009 meeting in Portland, Oregon, written comments should be received at the Council’s central office by June 30, 2009. We also will allow time for oral comment on the budget at the June 9-11, 2009, Council meeting in Whitefish, Montana. In addition, the Council will schedule consultations on request.

The Council expects to adopt the budget at its July meeting and then transmit it to Bonneville. Any questions on this draft budget should be directed to Sharon Ossmann, Director, Administrative Division, at the Council’s Central Office.

Steve Crow
Executive Director
