Loading...
Summary
The MS4 Subcommittee reviewed a preliminary FY24 budget and estimates from partners, including a Pluck cost range of $19,500–$22,000 and a total low‑end budget of $82,770; members said a proposed $7,000 dues ask was likely achievable.
The Chittenden County MS4 Subcommittee reviewed a first “straw man” draft of the FY24 program budget during its Sept. 6 meeting.
Dan Albrecht, CCRPC staff, presented a preliminary budget developed from rough estimates provided by Pluck and the Winooski NRCD and line‑items for outreach and advertising. Albrecht said Pluck’s estimate for services ranged from $19,500 to $22,000 depending on the level of design work and social media content development. He said the low‑end total budget would be $82,770 and that the total would rise to about $84,000 if member dues were set at $7,000.
Albrecht asked whether a $7,000 per‑member dues ask would be achievable. Christine Dougherty, representing Williston, and Dave Allerton, representing Milton, indicated that the amount was likely feasible for their municipalities. The meeting record does not list a final dues decision; the budget remains at the preliminary, discussion stage and will be carried to future agendas.
The draft budget will be refined with more detailed input on contractor scopes and outreach needs before members consider a formal dues proposal or adoption.
