of contractor equipment and personnel in favor of District equipment and personnel and decreased use of truck hauling services for drying site
operations, ($1,514,500). Offset by reallocation of salary distribution, ($14,000); as well as new requests for one screening system with

i) Increased requests for truck hauling services for farm utilization of biosolids and expanded controlled solids distribution, ($1,068,000). Offset
