October 7, 1990 <br />Rod Visser <br />Budget Director <br />PO BX 8181 <br />Hillsborough NC 27278 <br />Re: Unappropriated Fund Balance Request <br />Dear Mr. Visser, <br />I appreciate your taking the time to talk to me on Thursday, October 3rd. As you suggested, I am making <br />a formal request, on behalf of the Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department, to secure some of the funds in our <br />unappropriated fund balance. <br />As I described in the 1990 -91 budget request, part of our Five Year Plan includes purchase of a new <br />equipment truck and furnishing it with adequate air supply and lighting systems for fire ground situations. <br />The truck has been purchased and the Department is vigorously preparing it for active duty. The <br />Department has purchased a cascade air system for the new truck to refill air bottles at a cost of $6,366. <br />The purchase of the compressor to fill the cascade system on the truck will come at a later date. The <br />Department has priced a generator and extension lights for approximately $3,500. As stated in the Five <br />Year Plan, both expenses were to be paid for from our unappropriated fund balance. Therefore I am, for <br />the Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department, formally requesting $10,000 from our balance to pay for these <br />expenses to help equip this truck. <br />I would appreciate a response as soon as possible considering the larger of the two expenses has already <br />been made. <br />Also, for information for the Board of Directors, I would like to know how much of our unappropriated <br />fund balance remains. <br />Thank you very much for your help, and please let me know if there is anything further that must be <br />done. <br />Truly, <br />61(---- <br />Christopher F.
