Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The personal Service cost noted above includes Ombudsman position. Totals include benefits that were calculated by %40 of salary position.
$40000 was estimated for a midsize SUV as this position would require travel throughout the state.
Fuel cost could impact the agency but it is hard to predict. Office supplies, space and start up office equipment could be found within the agency and would have no significant impacts on the agency.
Memorandum
Above is summarized as to the cost of creating this position. Costs of fuel and office supplies can not be accurately predicted. Most of those costs would not have a significant fiscal impact on the agency.
