1.5 During last year's budget discussions we identified a concern
with vehicle repair costs. We budgeted $20,000 plus $15,000
to come from reserves, if needed. As of December repair costs
for vehicles are in the area of $30,000 . This is due to the
heavy use of vehicles which are 10 - 20 years old.
