Projections for technology purchases from the PAYG Leasing Reserve Fund are straight-line calculations over several years. These projections were first calculated when technology items were added to the PAYG plan and have been regularly assessed by the Finance and I.T. Departments. In most years since the above items were added to the PAYG plan, the actual expenditures are less than the projections. As a result, the fund maintains a healthy balance that will be able to accommodate future periods of higher technology requirements.
