This increase in the spending plan is primarily due to several new grants for economic development, education, and public health programs. The budget includes salary increases of $496,455 that are largely for the promotion of a senior planner to a program manager, hiring a senior economic planner, an additional planner, and an open administrative position. BRPC s overall benefits have increased by $193,231 from $640,138 to $833,369. This is mostly due to more staff and staff having a larger amount of unused vacation or unused compensation hours.
