Acct# 01-1002-54-99 has $42,000 budgeted forthis purchase.
It was my intention to purchase four of these stretchers in order to equip each
ambulance and have a spare in the event of an equipment failure. However, the total
price would have exceeded budgeted funds. Please accept my recommendation
above.
