Service Plan and Budget 2009

A Service Plan for the coming fiscal year then goes on to describe the expected type and intensity of activity of the Commission in meeting its mandate—in regulating ferry fares and service levels, in making certain special decisions, in public outreach and in administration. The Service Plan is used to project the Commission's costs for the year, summarized in Figure 1. Total expenditure for fiscal year 2008/9 is budgeted at $275,000, including a 5% contingency due to uncertainty in activity level. This total is an estimated 76% of the maximum permitted for
the Commission's expenditure budget set out in the Coastal Ferry Act 1.
