Our comments:
55 OK to cut since we can control the amount of travel.
56 We need this contingency fund for repairs which, by their
nature, are not predictable. The largest expenditure is
for the Motorola radio maintenance agreement (@ $76,000)
which we have no control over.
57 This is dependent upon bid results by private contractors.

58 We rely on the fire fighters to keep their dormitory and
station in a clean and sanitary condition. Therefore, we
need to provide adequate supplies.
59 We need this contingency, which is dependent upon the price
of fuel and fuel usage, both of which are unpredictable.
60 OK to cut this. We have adequate stores until the
following year.
61 OK to cut this.
62 We need this contingency for repairs, the necessity for
which is unpredictable.
63 Same as 62.
64 OK if you want to cut supplies for the volunteer fire
stations.
Please call me should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
