2,000 hours of a consultant at $75 per hour to oversee the advisory group, attend advisory
group meetings, and prepare the advisory group’s final report. CDPHE also requires 0.4 FTE in
FY 2024-25 only to solicit the contract for the consultant, facilitate the appointment of advisory
group members, and coordinate advisory group meetings. Workload may minimally increase in

associated with this bill are addressed through the annual budget process and centrally
appropriated in the Long Bill or supplemental appropriations bills, rather than in this bill. These
costs, which include employee insurance and supplemental employee retirement payments, are
shown in Table 2. Page 3
