The budget request for 2019 30 is $50,000. Therefore, the total 2019 EAB Fund Balance may be $71,000. The 2019 31 treatment commitment is $15,000. Available monies for removal and replacements for 2019 32 will be $56,000. That current funding level would more than likely allow for very limited, if 33 any, replacements in 2019. 34 35 As the infestation continues to spread the removals will increase. Due to the potential 36 hazards, removals are priority over replacements. As removals increase the fund will run out 37 of money at our current funding levels. In addition, as infestation continues to increase 38 removals may exceed the capacity of a single contractor. 39 40 555
