The major sources of <br />this income came from Tazgeted Benefactors, over $79,000; Mail solici.tation <br />fund drives, over $77,000; Special Event Fees, neazly $65,000; and Orange <br />County in the form of rent for housing ambulances, over $27,000. <br />Although the spring and fall mail solicitation fund drives produced over <br />$77,000 of income, nearly half of it, $35,000, is consumed in the expense of the <br />effort. <br />As of June 7, 2006, income is only $84,000 with most of this, $49,000, coming <br />from Event fees. <br />Expenditures <br />Squad expenses for the year 2~5 totaled $233,000. About $100,000 was spent <br />on vehicles and communication expenses. <br />As of June 7, 2006, expenses have totaled over $110,000. On this same date, <br />the Squad had cash assets of $52,000; most of tlv.s, nearly $35,000, is <br />categorized as operating reserve. <br />Projected capital needs <br />For implementation of the 800MHz system, the Squad estimates it will need <br />50 radios to replace its current rnmmunication complement. That is <br />probably a $250,000 expenditure. <br />83 <br />
