The BID fee per employee has remained flat since 2005 when it was adjusted by the Consumer Price Index. This year. it is anticipated that the BID will generate $120.000. approximately 35%. of the total LINKS operating budget. The remaining operating funds will come from grants and a nominal amount from the Agency to fund the budget gap that has occurred with the delay in the expected grant funding.
