MEETING
REF: EMAIL NEWELL/FOOKS
1. This is an action request. See para 4.
2. OHR provided Embassy with draft 2009/2010 budget in
advance of the April 2, 2009 Financial Experts meeting. The
proposed budget reflects the Steering Board Ambassador's
command to begin preparing a continuing OHR budget for
2009/2010 in advance of the Peace Implementation Council's
March 26 meeting, in case the PIC does not decide on a
closure date for the OHR. If the PIC Steering Board decides
not to close the OHR and if the Financial Experts conclude to
recommend the budget to the SBA for approval during the April
2 meeting, formal budget adoption is expected by the middle
of April.
3. Post sent the detailed budget to EUR/SCE Fooks and McGuire
and EUR/ACE Keeton on March 11. The overall budget is
reduced from 11.3 million Euros to 11.2 million, while the
U.S. share remains at 22 percent. The largest cost increases
are related to capital expenditures (190,000 Euros) that have
been previously delayed, as well as cost for consultancy
(400,000 Euros),which will only be spent if needed.
4. ACTION REQUEST: Post requests Department approval to join
consensus on adopting the proposed budget for 2009/2010 at
the April 2, 2009, Financial Experts Meeting.
