* Federation Full Member Annual Dues Calculation:
Understanding that Federation membership, once approved by the Federation Board of Directors, commences upon receipt of a full member's initial dues payment based on an audit of the agency's most recently-completed fiscal year, I calculate our annual dues as follows:

Total agency expenditures [to include unrestricted operating expenditures, restricted fund(s) expenditures and depreciation expense; and to exclude capital asset acquisition expenditures] last-completed fiscal year: (A)

Full member dues formula: x .00314 (B)

Multiply figure A by B: (C)

Annual member dues amount:*Apply minimum or maximum as per chart above. (D)

Federation Legal Trust Fund Annual Assessment: Calculate 5%** of figure D: (E)

*Annual dues will be pro-rated if an agency joins after October 1.
**This assessment percentage is established by the LTF Board of Trustees and may change from year to year.
