Abstract: The project involves six key personnel positions, including the Principal Investigator, Associate Investigator, and Research Assistants responsible for data collection and management. These positions will have corresponding salary or wage categories. The project will be conducted across various CWIS sites, including headquarters in Olympia, WA, and field offices in places like Bellingham, WA. Effective communication between these locations is essential, and action items include securing internet accounts, establishing a Federal Express account, and adding telephone lines as needed. Accounting procedures and practices are detailed, with an emphasis on financial authorization, tracking, and reporting. Equipment, software, and supply needs are also outlined. This memo provides an initial action item list for project preparations, with the promise of more to come. It highlights the importance of creating a plan of action and schedule of events, which will be developed by project leaders Rudolph C. Ryser and Leslie E. Korn in collaboration with John H. Burrows.
