The primary difference between the forecast presented in <br />January and the following forecast is the net addition of approximately $3.9 million in spending. <br />Of that amount, $1.2 million represents one-time costs that are not included in the remaining years <br />of the forecast. The resulting forecast shows a deficit in FY07 primarily caused by one-time <br />spending and a deficit in FY08 caused by an anticipated increase in the cost of employee <br />retirement benefits. The remaining years show current revenues matching spending assuming the <br />FY07 proposed service system is carried into the future. <br />4 <br />
