New Business
Budget Amendment for Welding Zone
- $50 each month in Consumables for Welding Zone, starting in April and going through July, 2014.
- This should fit within our existing revenue and is recommended - TW.
- Donations have not been meeting the needs of the zone, people might not be paying for consumables they use
- $50 estimated as twice the monthly expenses
- Sometimes greater expenses are needed, about $70 for new gas
- Monthly amount would not roll-over
To appropriate $50 each month in Consumables for Welding Zone, starting in April and going through July, 2014.
