SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Personnel costs reflect normal step increases ($11,045).
  • Increase in non-personnel costs is mainly due to additional cost for rental of Court Square West for the Girls' Outreach Program ($10,012), which is partly offset by decreases in telephone charges ($1,820) and rental of operating equipment ($3,309).
  • Revenues decreased due to the loss of Title IV-E funding ($322,000) and decrease in Falls Church reimbursement ($5,830) based on reconciliation with FY 2004 actual payments.
