Being that I was involved heavily in the discussions around this, this
I believe is quite even handed, and encourages pro-active reporting,
while being as equitable to historical precedent as possible.

I really feel confident that the council has done a good job
supporting our central priorities while maximizing the amount of
overall regional funding available.

Bravo, I am very much +1 to this scenario, and I think this is very
close to a 'best case' scenario with the big number that we have for
this year.

The challenge and priority for this FY17 budget cycle is to make sure
we are gregariously tracking our spend, but also tracking anything
that we 'would have spent' on if we had the budget for it, along with
the projected impact of that spend.
