4. $543k of FY08 new funding came in at end of FY07, of which $132k was upfront funding on the TERC project, $51k for NEXRAD Hydro and $360k for the 4th year of LEAD Both the new SDCI and STI projects were funded in FY08, $163k and $100k, respectively Benefit and indirect rates decreased slightly for FY08 After facing tight budget constraints, the President’s Council adjusted the annual salary increase schedule to coincide with the start of the new fiscal year in October. No increases were given for FY08. That, combined with an on target FY08 work-time percentage of 85%, helped keep labor expenses down Attrition and a vacancy in the GEMPAK position were also favorable for the budget FY08 Points of Interest

10. Non Core Funding History • Accounting for the timing of funds in FY06-FY08, the gradual decrease of non core funds throughout the current award period has put additional pressure on an already tight budget • Lowest level of non core funding in 6 years projected for FY09

13. Attrition and the new merit salary increase schedule were favorable for this tight budget year We closely monitored our cash position in accordance with the new 2007 UCAR cash management policy, spending wisely to avoid interest expenses on overspending Projected to end FY08 with a surplus of funds due to carryover, which will help us leverage our resources as we transition to the next proposal With 2.5 current FTEs and almost $400k in yearly funding, the current LEAD ITR project that ends in FY08 will be a large variable on both our budget and staffing figures as we look ahead to FY09 and beyond An increase in FY09 core funding would establish a favorable baseline going into the new award period and would help meet the goals of our new proposal Summary
