Thank you.
The increase in funds addresses specific needs in the areas of transportation and training. Over the years the board has not had any substantial increase in its budgets, and over the years we've been utilizing most of the salaries that were available, because we were running with a low complement of board members. So we were able, over the years, to function that way.
We now have a full complement of 29 permanent board members. I think it's the first time in the history of the board that we do have that full complement.
So there have been increases across the board, literally, in operating, transportation, and whatever expenses, and we required an increase at this time. We were afforded one through portfolio reallocation.
With regard to the selection criteria or the system of selection criteria, no, there is no correlation between that and the increase in budgets, although the selection process in itself requires a substantial amount of money. It requires somewhere in the area of $100,000 just to run that selection process every year.
