HAMLIN Peggy D <br /> From: WALCH Therese <br /> <br /> - Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 9:25 AM <br /> To: WEIXELMAN Susan E <br /> Cc: HARRIS Linda L; HAMLIN Peggy D <br /> Subject: RE: Budget for Upper Amazon <br /> Susan, sounds good. The budget estimate Linda put together already shows an amount <br /> higher than what's in the budget. But, I think we should just leave it that way for now - <br /> let me know if that causes any problems for you. If it turns out we need the full amount <br /> (reflected by the estimate) then we'll make sure to talk to Peggy. <br /> Therese <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: WEIXELMAN Susan E <br /> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 9:12 AM <br /> To: WALCH Therese <br /> Cc: HARRIS Linda L; HAMLIN Peggy D <br /> Subject: RE: Budget for Upper Amazon <br /> Therese, thanks for the information on this project ---given the relatively small dollar <br /> amount of the estimated additional amount needed, a supplemental budget will not be <br /> necessary. <br /> However, when (if) you need additional funding ($10,000 or whatever the amount ends <br /> up being) send a revised project estimate to Peggy and she will get the additional <br /> appropriation authority for the project. The best time to do this would be when you are <br /> fairly sure you will need the additional funds, but not waiting until the end of the project. <br /> Hope this helps! <br /> Susan <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: WALCH Therese <br /> Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 5:26 PM <br /> To: WEIXELMAN Susan E <br /> Cc: HARRIS Linda L; HAMLIN Peggy D <br /> Subject: RE: Budget for Upper Amazon <br /> Susan, <br /> We are getting going on planning/very preliminary design of a project which is <br /> currently in the 00 budget (i.e. we have the project authorization form en route for <br /> signatures, consultants on board to help out with the project, etc.). The project <br /> number is #905066. The estimate that Linda did recently shows that we MAY need <br /> an additional $10,000 or so, beyond the $29,000 that was budgeted. Since the <br /> estimate is somewhat conservative, is it OK if we just stick with the $29k that's been <br /> allocated, monitor how it goes, and then reconcile when the project is completed <br /> IF we come up short (i.e. move money into this project from another project that has <br /> been under-expended)? I think that's a better approach than putting more money for <br /> this project in a supplemental budget, all things considered. <br /> Please let us know what you think. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Therese <br /> <br />
