Abstract: Federal Fiscal Year 2008 marks the third year of the Annual Program Development & Implementation Budget formally adopted by the Trustee Council. The revised budget structure that has been utilized over the past two federal fiscal years has provided a more clearly identifiable allocation of the funds supporting Trustee Council activities. As was specifically identified in the past two annual budgets, the program components are: •Administration Management •Data Management •Science Management •Community Involvement •Public Advisory Committee (PAC) •Small Parcel Program •Trustee Council Member Direct Expenses •Program Support/Project Management by Agencies •Alaska Resource Library & Information Services The budget estimates detailed within those specified program components are projected based upon prior year actual expenditures and include the application of an estimated 3.1% consumer price index increase and an approximate 4% increase in personnel costs to cover budgeted merit step increases, as well as payroll benefits increases. Detailed budget component items are either “continuing” or “ongoing” from program directives already approved by the Trustee Council and cover necessary day-to-day operational costs of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Restoration Office and administrative costs associated with overseeing current Trustee Council program objectives. Program priorities include the completion of the Herring Restoration Plan and continuance of the Herring Recovery efforts. The focus of FY 08 is to continue with efforts initiated in FY 06 and FY 07 until the Science Program activity results are reviewed and a determination is made providing guidance for future program priorities. Although a FY 08 Invitation requesting proposals for the forthcoming federal fiscal year was not offered during Federal Fiscal Year 2007, a decision was made to provide projects that were only approved funding for FY 07 an opportunity to request project extensions with requests for FY 08 funding. Upon completion of the peer review processes and the Trustee Council’s funding decisions, associated project management fees will be requested and allocated at that time. To ensure continuance of Trustee Council support, Trustee Agency Liaison salary allocations have been equally budgeted within the Program Support component and are being requested to cover these services for the entire federal fiscal year. A minimal allotment of Project Management funds is also being requested to ensure Trustee Agencies have sufficient funds to manage FY 07 project close-outs and to provide necessary compliance with the annual audit efforts. The Trustee Council Restoration Office is administratively located within the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and over the past two federal fiscal years has significantly advanced towards being a self-supportive administrative office. The office is structurally organized with one or two professional staff overseeing each of the program component activities identified within this budget request and operates efficiently and effectively when fully staffed as a nine-member team.
