Budget Narrative (Mxinium of 1300 Characters):
The next conference is to be held in Idaho. The cost of the conference has yet to be determined, but is estimated
to be approximately $100. Maricopa County Environmental Services would like to send 4 employees to the
conference ($100 x 4 employees $400). Roundtrip airfare from Phoenix to Boise (used for estimate purposes)
is $402 per employee ($200 x 4 employees $1856). Actual airfare cost is not available this far in advance. It is
estimated that the hotel room will cost $100/night (federal per diem for lodging is $116/night in Boise during the
month of September). This would be a total cost of $1856. Maricopa County will incur the costs of meals and
incidentals for each employee (federal per diem for September is $64/day per employee). Since there are partial
travels included the total budget would be $1152 for per diem cost. Maricopa County will also cover the extra
costs that the $3000 grant does not cover.
