SJRWMD FY 2017-2018 Final Budget Floridan aquifer. It is anticipated that this project will alleviate environmental constraints and provide a source of recharge for the Minimum Flows and Minimum Levels (MFLs) in the Keystone Heights region and the Lower Santa Fe Basin. Budget Variances The program budget has an 18.8 percent decrease ($20.92 million) compared to the FY 2016-17 amended budget. If the program variance > ±10 percent, major object variances > ±5 percent will be explained and if the program variance < ±10 percent, major object variances > ±10 percent will be explained. • A 14.6 percent decrease under Contracted Services is largely due to no new budget for Fish Harvesting ($919,991). It should be noted some fish harvesting projects will be budgeted under Non -Recurring Contracted Services in FY 2017-18, therefore, the net reduction for Fish Harvesting budget is actually less in comparison to FY 2016- 17. • Operating expenses will decrease by 55.6 percent primarily due to no budgeted expenses for Chemical Supplies ($200,000). • Operating Capital Outlay will be reduced by $1.7 million, or 99.4 percent, primarily due to the purchase of pumps for the Nutrient Reduction Pilot Project with Graves Brothers ($600,000) and for the purchase of pumps for the Nutrient Reduction Pilot Project with Fellsmere Joint Venture ($1 million) during FY 2016-17 and these expenses are non- recurring. • Fixed Capital Outlay budget will be reduced by a little over $2 million, or 23.5 percent, due to expected completion of several capital projects under activity 2.3 in FY 2016- 17 and no new planned major land purchases under activity 2.1. • There will be a $16.14 million decrease in Interagency Expenditures that is largely due to a large amount of carryover encumbrances from prior years into FY 2016-17 for both subactivity 2.2.1 and activity 2.3.
