003So, that comes from line item number 209 under employee benefits, so 6100 series. Under 209 pension funds and 457 deferred comp, so under the fund balance, that $102,556 will be adjusted by $32,556. So, we'll remove that from that line, bringing our budget down to Let me swing over to my sheets here. 1.68% total increase or in monetary value $173,240.

Our new revised budget is a 1.68% increase or $173,240. And the grand total of the budget is 10,000,000 497,000 $900. So, that's 10,000,000 497,000 $916. Okay.
