4 <br />Efland Volunteer Fire Co., Inc. <br />PO Box 39 <br />Efland, NC 27243 <br />April 9, 2001 <br />Ms. Donna Dean <br />Budget Director <br />Orange County <br />PO Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Ms. Dean, <br />As Chairman of the Board of Directors of Efland Volunteer Fire Co., Inc. I am <br />requesting that the March 13, 2001 fund balance of $16,579.00 be released to our <br />fire department as soon as possible. This money will be used to offset the cost of a <br />new tanker, which we have ordered and expect to accept delivery on in July of 2001. <br />This truck has a contract price of $189,007.00, which we plan to pay for with the fund <br />balance, accumulated reserves of approximately $123,000, and a loan for the <br />balance. This truck will replace our 30- year -old tanker that the fire department <br />purchased when they were incorporated in 1971. <br />Because the well being of the citizens of the Efland fire district, as well as the <br />safety of the fire fighters is of the utmost importance to the Board of Directors, we <br />respectfully request the fund balance for the purchase of the tanker. By receiving the <br />fund balance, the amount of the loan necessary to pay for the balance of the truck, <br />will be reduced. This will enable the department to continue to run on a solid <br />financial base with their regular operating budget. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />A.D. Graham, Jr. <br />Chairman, Board of Directors <br />Efland Volunteer Fire Co., Inc. <br />
