42 percent of the Commission’s 2010 direct expense budget was for the Operations
Division. Of the Operations Division’s direct expense budget, about $14 million was for
sewer and storm drain related operations.
Approximately $7.6 million or 13 percent of the Commission’s 2010 direct expense
budget was for the Engineering Division. About $4.4 million of the Engineering
Division’s direct expense budget was for sewer and drain related work. Put another way,
about $18.4 million was budgeted for Operations and Engineering Division’s direct
expenses relating to sewer and drain work. Thus sewer and drain related work represents
about 32 percent of the Commission’s total direct expense budget.

report. However, it is anticipated that the 2011 CEB will provide a similar level of
funding for direct expenses relating to sewer and drain work.
