11 <br /> Indirect Costs <br /> Included in indirect costs are rent,utilities,phone/fax/internet,postage,office supplies,salaries and fringes of <br /> administrative personnel(president,finance office,reception and secretarial),board meeting expenses,car <br /> maintenance,insurance,and legal and audit expenses. These indirect costs are determined pursuant to principles <br /> established by the federal government in OMB Circular A-87 and are audited annually. Since the TJCOG overall <br /> budget is far smaller than the budgets of local governments,its indirect costs can't be spread so thinly. <br /> Nevertheless,TJCOG has succeeded in reducing indirect costs by 33%since 1991. <br /> TJCOG membership dues do not cover the indirect costs of this project because these dues have been significantly <br /> reduced over the last two years. This dues restructuring was desired by the member governments and involved <br /> removing from the per capita dues all of the TJCOG programs targeted to specific jurisdictions. These targeted <br /> programs,including the household hazardous waste program, are required to pay for themselves. <br /> Next year's expenses <br /> The only line items that show an increase in next year's budget are equipment and travel. This is because the <br /> program is planning to invest in some equipment which will allow us to bulk paint more efficiently and thereby <br /> significantly reduce paint disposal costs. The extra travel is to allow for visiting other household hazardous waste <br /> collection sites to evaluate this equipment while it is in use. <br /> -Part Three: Attachments <br /> Attached you will find samples of the four new flyers addressing household hazardous wastes associated with <br /> gardening,painting,automobile maintenance,and general home cleaning. <br /> 5 <br />
