This represents an increase of <br />28% above the $4,300 budgeted for the current year. The reasons for the increase are: <br />1.

Our safety coordinator has identified safety training needs of approximately $150 in additional costs. <br />3. The Carolinas Recycling Association has begun a series of formal technical tours of facilities relevant <br />to our staff. We have allotted one tour per recycling specialist staff member per year for $240. <br />3. We have identified a need for professional assistance with group staff development and conflict <br />resolution and have allocated $500 for such assistance. <br />4. We have identified some additional management development training requirements as the division <br />grows and duties become more complex and diverse. <br />5. An increase in local mileage reimbursement has caused an increase in this category of expense. <br />How much is for re~c iced certifications and training. $50. There are no required certifications at this time <br />for work in this division, but one of the recycling specialists has gained a technical certification that requires <br />ten contact hours per year to keep up.
