That budget, with the member assessments was submitted to the before the end of June, 2005. The WMO Board appreciates the time and energy you, as member communities, have put into' consideration of the 2006 Budget. At an August 31st Membership Budget Committee meeting a revised 2006 budget of $141,400 was recommended to VLAWMO. The VLAWMO Board considered the revised budget at its September meeting, and is proposing increasing the budget to $186,400 in order to adequately fund the Water Plan update. The newly proposed budget and member assessment is attached. The $186,400 budget was unanimously approved by the VLAWMO Board at the September meeting.
