I am working on this budget and should get some kind of draft to you today. I think we can come in well under $100,000 even including time for me to provide support to the Steering Team and some general oversight to the project. We would need to include money for ECO for the assessments which I will not include in our budget. One of the key questions I have is if we can propose a budget for the two pilots for the first year, Cylvia’s communications/case study person for 3 years and reserve the rest of the money either to help with specific implementation steps after the Declaration of Cooperation for the pilots or decide to expand the pilots to more regions. One good thing for the Metro pilot is that it appears that PBA has money and can get more for the implementation phase after the DOC and can commit to leading the work forward after the DOC. Not sure about southern Oregon. My inclination is to say that part of the DOC will be to identify a group and funding to carry the projects forward and to use our money to move to more regions.

Hi Bev,

Could you send me the notes you distributed at our meeting on Tuesday?

Yes, I will circulate questions before our call. A budget question for you at this point: are you thinking $50K per pilot for just the first year, perhaps with a smaller budget for possible subsequent projects in years 2-3?

Thanks,

Melissa

Melissa, I think you should circulate questions if you have them before that to get us thinking.

Yes, I am already making a list of questions, and I want to make sure all the key people have a chance to be involved in the process. I know NWAF's preference would be to receive it before April 8, but that require quite a push. John Svicarovich's involvement was also mentioned; I'm going to try to connect with Duncan to ask if/how he wants to involve John (I could either see the proposal through to the end, with John S. giving feedback, or hand the whole thing off to him at some point--either is fine with me).

My current schedule next week is to be in the office Tues, Thurs, and Fri. What if I had a draft ready to distribute by Wednesday morning, with a call to discuss the draft first thing on Thursday, if that worked for everyone?

Hi Bev,

Just to keep you in the loop: I had a few questions about the grant application materials (e.g., which "organization" sections should be about OS and which should be about OBC); Cylvia gave me the go ahead to connect with Christianne so I sent her an email. I'll let you know what kind of info we need about OS based on her response.

Do you have a sense of when the project would officially begin? From the NWAF website it looks like they award grants all throughout the year.
